 Club

Harry F. Atwood, author of several books setting forth the ideals of this country during the war, will be the prin- cpal speaker at a smoker to be given to the members of the Southern club at the club next Thursday night.
 Back to the Republic will be the topic of Mir Atwood's address at the club next Thursday night. For the past several months he has been touring the country making speeches to the business men of each city.
 Dan B. Dimick, president of the South ern club, yesterday in speaking of MT. Atwood's visit to Birmingham, said;
 "Mr Atwood has rendered the people of this country a great service by bring ing before them his timely book. Ills book is the most widely distributed Of the times and it came at time when something was needed to check the spread of bolshevism, challenging the in terest of Americans,' continued Mir. Dimick.
 MT Atwood in his book interpreted in clear. forcible English the American con- stitution with more M g. stir than Jus tice Marshall made in his day He point ed out the dangers of the flippant use of the word democracy and defined the United States as republic. But not content with merely writing book. MT Atwood has responded to the call fcr lectures. and everywhere he has ap- peared there was the feeling that here was a man who knows and who has thought out things to finish
