SIGNIFICANCE OF
 SHR0VE TUESDAY

Today is Shrove Tuesday and marks the approach. of the Ienten season and observances at the Episcopal and Catho- lice churches.
 The word shrove comes from the Latin verb meaning to shrive or impose pen ance and is significant of the fact that in all medieval churches the Tuesday before Lent is the day on which con fession is made in preparation for the observance of Lent.
 In later times the Tuesday before Lent has been observed as a great day of merrymaking, preceding the Lenten sea son, which in many churches Is observed strictly as season of repentance, work and meditation. In New Orleans and in countries, where the French influence predominates, the Tuesday before Lent is observed as carnival or Mardi Gras day.
 ASH WEDNESDAY
 Tomorrow will be Ash wednesday, the first day of Lent, the 40 days which have always been observed throughout Christendom in memory of the 40 days of fasting and prayer spent by Jesus Christ in the wilderness.
 Wednesday in the first week was chosen as the first day of Lent because it has never been the custom in Chris tian churches to have day of fasting on Sunday.
 The name Ash Wednesday was given in deference to the custom, 'once, ob- served in medieval churches, in which the penitent parishoners appeared before the bishop and clergy clothed in sack cloth.
 During this service the seven peniten- tial Psalms were sung and ashes were thrown on the people who then covered their heads with sackcloth.
 Some churches still observe the custom by having the ashes from the palms used on Palm Sunday brought to the church, where the officiating clergyman dips his fingers in them and makes the sign of the cross on his body.
 This year Easter Sunday, the day ob- served in honor of the risen Christ, will come on March 27.

CALVARY BAPT|STS
 ID BUILD CHURCH
New Edifice to Be Erected at an Early Date on Foun-
 tain Heights

Calvary Baptist churchs congrega- tion has decided unanimously to erect new building on the lot where ths old church now stands.
 The Baptists of that part of the cit, have realized that the present build ing is inadequate, and plans have been under way for several months to start new building, but no definite action was taken until the meeting Sunday.
 The committee on building, consist. ing of J. P. McLaney, J. E. Greene H. c. Putnam, E. Feltham and c. C. Moore, was instructed to lease lot near the present site and begin i'm mediately the construction of tenn porary building to be used until the new church is completed.
 Rev. L. T. Reeves has been the pas tor of this church for about three years. There have been many ad- ditions to the church, and the Sunday union have become among thee most progressive in the city. The Senior Baptist Young Peoples union has been the banner union of the district for the past three months.
 J. E. Greene, architect, has been des- ignated to draw up plans for the build ing, which are to be submitted for ap- proval at an early date.
 pr. F. H. Harrington, superintendent of missions delivered an earnest ap- peal Sunday for cooperation in the building movement He said that with the $5,000 cash on hand, the material available, the subscriptions anticipated and the cooperation of the home board Calvary should have one of the best church buildings in the city.

PITIFUL SCENES
 AT HOOVER KITCHENS
Bv IcRIC LEyIsON

As nearly as possible the chill drrn in the cities of Europe are classified. First. those that are reasonably we'll, second, those that arc merely III and hungry, third. those that are starving.
 The starving ones come first with the one meal a day that can be furnished them; then, if any thing Is left, the sick are fed and, finally. those who are hungry md crying because they are in pain but only from hunger.
 They sit on the little benches in the food kitchens these children and their cagcrness Is pitifuI. But those that are sick must whit. and sometimes they wait n long, long while. Now and then, small crowd of them, ragged and un- sprakHbiy thin, guze IongingIy nt the hugn kettles and whimper;
 "Ficase, please, aren't we sick enough to eat yct:"
 And the visitor, if he has had fhe courage to remain during the meal honr, goes away wondnring how any human being could fail to respond to the appeal for aid for these starving babies.
 There are 3,JOO, 900 of them. and of these thousands upon thou- sands will die before the next har- vest. But some can be saved. and you can save one. Do you wish to 4 bnby's life does not cost much they can be sold to you for S1O each; one or as many ms you wish to buy. And surely you can buy one.

STATE AT LARGE IS
 RAISING ITS QUOTA
Reports on European Relief
 Movement Show General Readiness to Help

Birmingham workers in the Euro pean relief councils appeal for funds to help save the lives of starving chill their returns to 2001 American Trust building, where county headquarters have been combined with those of the state committee. The totals were not tabulated last night and the exact standing of the county was not an- nounced by w. J. Adams, chairman of the county committed.
 But whatever the amount is, it isn't enough, and it won't be enough until every available dollar is forth coming from the county to help save these starving ones" Chairman Adams declared.
 While Birmingham and Jefferson county have completed their minimum quota and are striving to roll this figure up as high as possible, other sections of Alabama are doing their utmost to raise money to save lives. Throughout south Alabama county chairmen are reporting rapid progress in the work, although no figures have DeeH turned Tn 10 state neduquarterS from the southern counties.
 The suburban districts of Birming- ham are doing splendid work, state and county leaders announce. The Ensley section, with a quota of S10,- 900, is near the minimum mark and expects to add materially to that amount before ceasing work.
 Gadsden is preparing for a big Hoover kitchen dinner on the night of February IS. Tickets are to sell for $10. On the day of the dinner Ralph Warden. editor of the Gadsden Times News, will issue special edition of that publication, the entire returns from which, including advertising and street sales. will go to the relief Urea ury. On the streets of Gadsden the sale of the papers will be carried on by women members of the relief com mittee.

BELIEVES HUSTON
 GOES ID CABINET
H. E. Little of Sheffield Says Chattanoogan Is Almost
 Certain of Place

A political prognostication that will be of interest to Alabamians was mad 9 by H. Fontaine Little of Sheffield, who was at the Tutwiler last night. MT. Little is well known press corre- spondent of the Muscle Shoals district. and an active republican of this state. He was on the staff of the republican national committee last year, and is still serving the committee in various matters.
 Tt is practically settled, think, " said MT. Little, "that c. H. Huston of Chattanooga will be named as a mem Der of President Harding's cabinet. New York papers last week carried the first. complete and apparently authentic list of cabinet appointees, and the list includes the name of MT. Huston. who has been chosen for the Secretary of Commerce portfolio. When the per- sonnel of the new cabinet is officially will undoubtedly be included.
 The selection of the Chattanooga man means, of course, recognition of the south by the incoming adminis- tration, and indeed it is not amiss. Whether it means a permanent break in the solid south remains to be seen.
 Since it has been discovered that Tennessee fuses at certain heat, the political chemists are speculating on what would melt the rest of the solid south. Republican party leaders ap- prehend that the south, politically, has become Iquid,' and henceforth they plan to keep it so.
 Tt is to be hoped, however. aside from politics, that MT. Huston will be in the cabinet since. in such event. the south will be represented at wash- ington during the Harding administra- tion, and this is naturally desired"

WANTED--HUSBANDS
 FROM BIRMINGHAM

Akron, the rubber city. is seeking assistance from Birmingham.
 Two nice, pretty and well-groomed" mon with matrimonial intentions have the opportunity of their lifetime be- fore them, if everything containued in letter from the Ohio town is true.
 Black-haired and dark-eyed, weigh ing respectively 40 and 1lO pounds, two Akron young women about 24 years old, tired of single state of existence, are seeking husbands to superintend property which they claim to own. They have set their hearts on southern men and think Birming- ham fertile field for fulfillment of their desires.
 Accordingly, Misses Mary Barrett and Betty Armstrong, 324 West Miller avenue, Akron, have written to Post master R. B. Smyer. asking his as- sistance. Evidently they consider MT. Smyer the best source of such in- formation and the man who can help them most in obtaining life mates.
