1N N0O one can estimate the ethical value HVI of community sings. Some time zs ago the part owner of one of Bir- mingham's largest commercial estabIish- ments came into his store little late, and as he passed among his clerks he ntuitively sensed an atmosphere he had never before detected He went to his partner and. said: What has happened here this morning? Things are not as they suually are. Something has changed the whole atmosphere of the store His partner said: Nothing has happened everything is just as it always has oeen' Mir --' he said addressing his man ager has anything new happened this morningg' Yes said the manager, the community service song director came in and conducted the first sing we have had for our employees, and they certainly did enjoy it.
 That accounts for it. said the busi- ness man. and he spent the entire nforn- ing among the girls of the store, study ing their morale, and he became an en- thusiast on community singing. Every employe had smile and pleasant tone for her customers, all the while hummng the familiar airs of the songs as she went about her work I am persuaded that community singing is a good thing for business, and l am for it, heart and soul, he said as he went back to the office
 This delightful little episode was re ed to me few days ago by Mir. D. F. Nolan, the nice young man who has made his home in Birmingham for the past few months as director of community service Gnc.) singing, and by his pleasant and seeable personality, as we'll as his wide knowledge of music, has established an enviabe reputation among all those who have had the pleasure of meeting him as man of ability in his chosen line.
 Mr. Nolan has always been music lover; in his home out in "The Golden Vest he followed music as a profession and during the war he had the pleasure of being associated with the Hoovers-es- pecially Mrs Herbert c. Hoover-in war work, and She being greatly interested in his behalf on account of the fact that physical disability kept him from enter ing the service, used her influence to give Mir Nolan the chance he so longer for-namely,- to serve his country at home if he couldn't do so in France
 The result was his utilization with war work in camps, recreation, amusement and otherwise, his work at Fort Sill Gawton) standing out prominently as his most important work during the war pe- rod.

Parents are advised to teach their children, as part of their daily toilet. how to sterilize the nose and throat with Eucapne, the prep aratson of Ol. Eucalyptus, which became so popular in this country during the epidemic of influenza and pneumonia. child can be shown in a minute how to it and, if re- minded by the parent, will do system- atically without assistance or objectio of Eucapine and introduces it up each nos- tril; then, catching the nose between the thumb and first finger. suddenly releases it as he draws in his breath, thus shifting the Eucapine back into the throat. The Eu- capine gradually spreads over the throat. tonsils, ear duets and larynx, sterilizing. cleansing and healing any inflammation of adenoids, enlarged tonsis, earache, deafness and serious lung diseases.
 Sterilization with Eucapine keeps the nose clean. healthy, comfortable and free from germs; relieves simple croup, coughs. colds and sore throat almost immediately and is so pleasant that even the youngest children learn to call for their jar of Eucapne and use it for themselves whenever they feel a cold or sore throat coming Colds are contagious and if every member of the fam fly. especially those who must breathe the infected dust of public buildings, streets and conveyances, would make sterilization with Eucapine a part of their daily toilet, much sickness would be avoided.

 "of course, the War Camp Community led up to the present form of Commu- nity Service said MT. Nolan,' and to- day Community Singing, which is one of the most prominent features of the work, and the influence it exerts over people and the pleasure that it gives them.' "One of our national leaders said re- cently," MT. Nolan continued, "that you cant sing beside man and kick him at the same time The great audiences att tending our sings invariably leave the hall smiling, talking and humming the familiar melodies; they carry away the music in their hearts. They smile the smile that will not rub off. It is conta- gious and makes us all better neighborS." :" During the past six months good cheer was melted in the hearts of more than 911 people who attended the 6SS sings conducted under the auspices of Commu- nity Service. Just think of it, more peo- pie than there are in Birmingham att tended our sings in one-ha1f yeari What will we do when Community Service is functioning in all it's parts" said Mir.

 munity Service with a big programme in Birmingham, and I am here to help Bir-
 mingham in every way I can to put it over"
 My idea of successful song leading is to make headquarters of Community Service a booking agency for music. for banquets, amateur shows. entertainments. clubs. churches. schools, social centers. parties and every occasion where the people meet socially to improve their ] lives" he said. We all have the names of hundreds of singers, entertainers and
 speakers who will volunteer their serv- ices to make Birmingham a better city
 to live in. and it will not only be a bene-
 l fit to the people who are entertained,
 but also to the entertainers. It will cul-
 tivate the morale of the whole community

Mrs. Holley Cowherd Birming gham s beautiful singer, could have had no greater evidence of the love and affec tion in which she is held than the pretty compliment paid her on Satur- day evening when she sang at the ,Tutwiler during the dinner de luxe, when scores of friends and admirers assembled to hear her after here three months stay in New York, where she has been studying voice.
 Mrs. Cowherd appeared to charm ing advantage, her lovely soprano voice showing exquisite tone quality, finished phrasing and unusual tech nque.
 Her appearance, always so beautiful and so stately, added to the loveliness of her voice and her friends were loud in their praise of her talent as well as her charming personality
 Mrs. Cowherd sang group of songs, ''The Open Secret and "A Tear, a Kiss. a Smile" both of which were delightful. She was so enthusiastic ally received that he had to respond

and an area of good cheer will be the happy result
 My ambition for Birmingham Is 10 train hundreds of song leaders connected with churches, schools, lodges, factories. business houses and other groups, so that the singing will be autonomous and spon- taneous all over the cny. so that the people will not be compelled to depend on one man Or a few people to do their leading" MT. Nolan said. Every church should send a leader to our song lead- CTS class 10 he trained in song leading We have about 8 persons already en- rolled and hope to have many more be- fore the end of January. The National President for Community Service. in speaking of The Community of Lost Tal- ents, has fittingly said We must have Community Singing, pageantry, dramat- ics. mass expression for those too shy to star We must have business classes where each singer, actor, ball or tennis players will find others as helpless as himself It is those who do not want to sing who want to sing most If you can once get them up on the table to do their little sing they will be the better for it ever after. and the more scared they are the most benefit will they derive Besides, we all need great occasions, times when we are carried beyond our selves The need of orgies is fundamental in human nature. Farmer Giles, in a mo- ment of conviction, empties his rum barrel into the brook. Next morning when he awoke, cold and uninspired, what substi- ute have you to offer him? The snbsti- ute for the saloon must be not merely place. but an experience. the experience of getting beyond yourself. Of doing what you could not do, expendfng the power that was never there, achieving a new dA~ menson of the soul.'
 Community Service is full of oppoxs tunities for Birmingham to discover ths lost talents of her people, and Comrn11s nifty Singing is not one of the least of these" MT.
