 prepared them to the Southeastern Fair in Atlanta and to enter the booths among
 the exhibits there.
 These booths are made mp to represent
 miniature rooms of a home and arc
 tastily decorated in all kinds of ways,
 containing the culinary, domestic an1
 fancy work displays of the women who
 entered them.
 T don't know whether the women who
 are exhibiting these booths can get away
 for the length of time the Southeastern
 Fair will consume" said Mrs. Reid. "Yo1
 see, they are all real home makers, have
 husbands and children of their own, and it is question whether they can leave home long enough to stay in Atlanta
 through the fair. But whether they do or not, we feel very proud of the fact that our work has attracted such favor able attention and feel the kindness of the compliment, even if we are unable to take advantage of the invitation. Mrs. Reid is hoping that with the com ing of next year there will be new building to house the women's exhibits and she believes that if it is erected merchants of Birmingham and the Bir- mngham territory will be glad to keep it spick and span and shining. The Bry- an Company of Ensey is the first to make such an offer If the building is erected this firm has agreed to put in a hardwood floor and keep painted, pa- pered and properly decorated from year i to year space sufficient for an art gall lery or exhibition room for the art ex- hibits.
 This is the first offer, and we appre-
 ciate it deeply" Mrs. Reid declares. If the building is constructed we believe

that other firms win follow this lead and that tho entire number of departments of the building will be taken care of in his manner"
 NO DISORDER
 With two-thirds of fair week gone there has been no disorder on the Alabama State fair grounds and uot single ar rest has been made, according to Cap tain Simmons of the Birmingham police department. who is in charge of a squad of ten men policing the grounds.
 Tt is true that one or two men who seemed the worse for an argument with corn liquor put in an appearance" said Captain simmons. But m tnese instances the mems admission money was re funded and they were escorted off the grounds. There was no trouble of any sort.
 T have been at the fair for four straight years and find that order al- ways is perfect People now are coming to the fair to enjoy themselves and not to create a disturbance. They all have a good time and are willing for everyone else to do likewise.
 There have been no arrests for the reason that nothing has occurred to cause arrests. I believe the best officers are those who keep trouble from arising and not those who make the most ar rests, anyway. And at the Alabama State Fair that isn't hard. for the crowds are orderly, good-natured and, in short, ev- erything that a crowd of people should ho

 "In view of the facilities in Birming- ham it seems to me it would be a good thing for the citizens to organize an Aero Club, purchase couple of bal looms and have a wide-awake organ ization.

EVANS URGES MORE
 AVIATION INTEREST
Speaks to Realtors of Adver- Using Value of Balloon
 Races Here

Virgil Evans. local aviator and manager of the Dixie Flying Field,' addressed d small but attentive gath ering of real estate men at their regu- lar weekly luncheon yesterday at the Southern Club.
 MT. Evans said that the people of Birmingham were falling behind other cities in the development of air travel. Atlanta has secured an aerial mail route and there is no reason why Bir- mingham should not also have one. This method of transporting mail has become a very common thing in the north, and the south is losing valuable time in not taking advantage of this most modern means of transportation.
 The speaker discussed the recent bal loon race and told of the valuable ad- yertising that it gave to Birmingh Few people realize the tremendous inn rortance of that race and the one to be held here on, the twenty third of this month to the city. In addition to the contestants in the international race, there is to be a balloon to make the start which has for it's purpose the sole aim of advertising Birmingham. The name of the city is to be painted in large letters across the bag.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-10-08

A letter suggesting that the plan be adopted was received by the local com- mittee today and the final arrange ments for the Birmingham represen- tation will be made immediately.
 Lieut.. Raffe Emerson, pilot of the United States entry in the national race, will probably be another indepen- dent entry in the international event.
 ENDURANCE RECORD
 Lieutenant Emerson will fly. not to capture the international record, but to break the American endurance rec ord which at present is approximately fifty hours. His event will be indepen- dent of the other flyers and will be under the direction of the local com mittee according to letter which he sent to Virgil Evans, general chair man yesterday. It is quoted, in part as follows:
