 national Rider

Led by Fred St. Onge. mounted on an old-time 54-inch high wheel, several hun. dred bicyclists rode out to East Lake park yesterday afternoon on social run, The riders were marshaled at the Wood- row Wilson park by Mir.

The bicy- clists that followed were composed of young and old. One little fellow about seven years old rode gamely along with a man of middle age, while several gray haired men were in the parade.
 It was estimated that fully 400 riders participated in the event. One little fei- low, who did not own a bicycle, deter mined to so to the lake on wheels, went the entire distance on roller skates. A large number of automobilists brought up the rear of the parade.
 At the park Mr St. Onge gave an exhl- bition of scientific and trick riding Tn the casino, which was croWueu 10 it's limit with spectators. He also made a most interesting talk on cycling anu the benefits derived therefrom-
 At the conclusion of the exhibition and talk oyer 1,2oO bottles of Grapico were distributed and an equal number or doughnuts The riders were presented with souvenirs donated by the Hendee Manufacturing company, Corbin Coaster Brake company and the Vitalic Iire company.
 According to the local dealers, the event wa5 the most successful affair or it's kind ever staged in the city, and l. is understood they will make an elior' to secure A return visit of MT. St. Onge ana stage a monster parade of similar nature.

There should be school in Bir. mingham for boys who are too old ta go to the reform school, and yet hays not reached their majority. If we crush a young man or boy for his first of. fense, the chances are we have made hardened criminal out of him. Whils on the other hand. If we had a school of this kind where young men between the ages of II and 20 years of age could be placed and taught a trade and ths value of good citizenship. then we might have some hopes of making something out of him.
 Tt would. of course. take some time to get such q school established here. But a more rapid method would be ths enlargement of the police force and tho picking up off the streets of young boys after a certain hour at night.

 All the incipient cases we have ac- 'cepted and who have remained at q. . work of recovery, have been res.o .ed to health. This has been true for the past five years. Early cases are sem orally curable and We have demons. trated that fact
