day and Saturday night dances of semi centennial week.
 The pavilion will wear q canvas roof, and greatly increases the canvas acreage around Capitol park The tentage now will far outstrip the canvas display of the two largest circusses on earth, and again brings to mind the enormous proportions of Birminghams birthday celebration.

Fifty children q day homeless. cast upon the world. This is how many who need somebody's care. They are dependent upon Alabama people to give them homes and love-"
 1ns is what KaIph Barrow. superintendent of the Alabama Chil- dfen's And society, told the members of the Business and Professional Women's club last night. The meeting included also a speech lby Col. Margaret Bovill. Salvation Army woman in charge of that or sanization's work for the south and the east, who told of rescue work Tor unmarried mothers and women. She declared that 80 per cent of these women who passed through Salva- ton Army homes become useful and respectable citizens. She said the rescue home of Birmingham is not adequate nor well equipped for the city needs.
 Business of arranging for night classes ended the programme. Pans were made for having a Halloween party Monday night week, and there was sale of bazar articles made by. the girls for the benefit of the furniture fund.
 Orphans' Needs
 Mir. Barrows speech was a most colorful one. in which he revealed the needs of orphan children, and children who must be adopted into homes and taken care of by the so- ciety. He asked the help of the club members in seeing that the children receive invitations into the city's T...r,n out Alabama" said MT Barrow, "iO,- 900 children either dependent, neg lected or cruelty treated.
 'It is a constant joy to the society to see how these children blossom out and begin to grow into ambitious, well rounded and happy little beings after they are adopted into the right kind of environment"
 MT. Barrow declared that last year near Dothan there was one child who died from starvation before the so- eiety could reach 1t.
 Find Homes
 He said he wished the club mcm- bers to be on the lookout for homes for children, reports 10 be made to the society headquarters at Room IA. Steiner building. "Our work cannot succeed till the people of Alabama hHdtA ctdut It. SuQ DttVIlc iHlSEtSltN enough ito help us.
