COLLEGE ACTORS
 SIGNAL SUCCESS

The senior class of Howard College, in presenting the charming play, The Prince Chap at the Jefferson theatre Friday night, under the direction of Miss A. Bess Clark. of the college faculty. achieved a distinct triumph.
 No set of amateurs appearing here per haps have ever acquitted themselves with such high credit They enacted their parts as a whole with the finish of profes- sional artists.
 Gladstone Jackson, as Marcus Runion, an English service man, made a marked Sit and was received with great enthu- ssir sm. Little Frances Bohanan, years <Sld, as Claudia, proved herself a stage prodigy. She was not only self-possessed throughout, but delivered her lines with charm that captivated the entire audi ence.
 The absence of awkwardness in the minor roles, which so often mars anna teur performances, was generally re- marked. There was none of it.
 Unstinted praise is due Miss Clark for her artistry in staging a play Of such high merit as ''The Prince Chap"
 It would have won the applause of discriminating theatregoers of any met ropolitan city.
 The Jefferson was filled to capacity. A repetition of the play would doubtless draw another large house.

HE WILL DISCUSS
 WILSON DAM WORK
Colonel Brown, Distinguished Engi-
 neer, In City Next Friday

Birmingham engineers will have an opportunity Friday evening. May 2S. at S:30 o'clock, in the lounge room of the Civic Association, to hear Col. Lytle Brown, United States army who probably holds the most important po- sitfon now in the gift of the chief of engineers, United States army, namely the Wilson dam at Florence, Ala.
 When the Panama canal was being built he was given charge of the Gatum dam and spillway. In 1916 he was in command of the engineers with General Pershing in Mexico. When General Pershing was sent to France, Colonel Brown was called to Wash ington to take charge of the war col lege and was given the rank of briga- a- dier general. Colonel Brown was awarded the distinguished service medal.
 His purpose in coming to Birming- ham is to explain the purposes of the Society of American Military Engi- neers, which is an organization en- couraged by the chief of engineers, United States army. One of the aims of this society is to interest civilian engineers in national defense.
 While in Birmingham, Colonel Brown will be the guest of the Alabama Tech ncal Association, and the members are extremely anxious to have all en- gneers of the district present to wei come Colonel Brown to the city.

Montgomery, May 2-(Special.)- D. Nesbitt, chairman of the state democratic executive committee, issued statement today in which he urged all persons to accept the result of the democratic pri- mary and to band themselves together so the democratic party may present solid front in the campaign preceding the gen. eral election.
 Chairman Nesbtt said despite the fact that the farmer vote was smaller than expected more persons have listened 70 discussion, actively participated and thoughtfully voted than in any election in twenty years" He said the state delegation to San Francisco will go un- instructed and with the power to do whatever it believes to be best for the one hundred and ten million people of the American nation.
 Referring to what he believes the dele gation will stand for in the national con- vention, Chairman Nesbtt said: "They will, no doubt stand as a unit for red blooded and progressive Americanism for real Americans, for the one great union. the union of the states. the supremacy of the flag and under it's protection and directions they will stand for the right and opportunity for each individual and those groups of individuals joining to- gether for their mutual improvement and progress, for upholdng and enforcing the wise, salutary and economic statutes pro- hibiting the traffic in intoxicating bev- erages and for the immediate settlement of our foreign relations under such agreements as will surely protect us and others from future war"
 Now that the election is over MT. Nes- bitt urged all persons to take part in the campaign to reduce the high cost of living by giving more attention to pro- duction and by refusing to pay fabulous prices for the things which are not neces- sary to the existence of a human being. Lets get to work in Alabama" the statement ended. Help our railroads equip our waterways, cultivate our farms and man our mines, wear our old gar ments, raise what we eat and know that with effort and only with effort will prosperity health and contentment be possible"
