 headquarters of the European
 Relief Council at 8:30 o'clock
 this morning of nearly 200 of
 Birmingham's most prominent
 business men will mark the of
 ficial opening of the most hu-
 manitarian, the most appealing
 campaign ever staged in Ala bama.
 And the appeal not only will open in Jefferson county but in practically every county in the state. 1t will be the ap- real for Alabama's portion of the funds that must be raised in America if three and a half millions or innocent children are to be saved from death by starv ,- ton.
 The campaign was given a preliminary impetus yesterday afternoon through the concert given by Mime. Schumann- H eink, who sang at the Loew's Bijou theatre for the benefit of those suffering little ones.
 But the official appeal will not open
 until the teams of the Kiwanis, Rotary and Community clubs and the Belgian army divsons take the field this morn- ing. These teams under the leadership of their captains will leave the county headquarters al 12S Second avenue, north, following the final instructions of w. J. Adams, county chairman. They will report again at 1 o'clock, when, dur : ing luncheon, they will submit the surns collected during the day. These will be displayed on four blackboards-one for each diyson--that are to be placed in the old Rhodes Carroll building. This will be the method of procedure each day until the campaign is completed. Two special events of the campaign are
 scheduled for Wednesday, from Il to 1
 O clock Wednesday morning and after noon beauties from the Marcus show.
 playing at the Jefferson theatre, and from the vaudeville acts appearing at Loewis Bijou theatre and the Lyric thea tre will sell dolls on the streets. These dolls have been donated by Birmingham department stores and the entire re- ceipts of the dall sale thus sold will go to the relief fund.
 The second event will be at the Tut wiler hotel Wednesday evening when at | o'clock scores of prominent Brming- ham men and women will sit down at the Hoover kitchen dinner, which Will be served at $100 per plate to add to the relief funds. The food-which will be the same as that served by the Hoover kitch- ems to the hungry European chill dren-and the service is to be donated by the hotel management and the other incidental expenses are to be met from outside sources. Thus every cent re- ceived at the banquet will be turned into the fund
 On Saturday morning the motion pie ture and vaudeville theatres are to give special benefit performances for the fund and from these the total receipts will be turned over to the relief fund.
 Chairman Adams and his aids are en- thusiastic over the county organization completed and are confident that the ap- peal will be carried over with rush. Chairman Adams yesterday announced the following team workers:
