Preliminary plans for the construc- ton of e larger club house to cost in the neighborhood of $tf,oo0 to S12,000 at Linger Longer lodge are being rap idly matured, many of the details necessary to quickly starting the un- dertaking having already been worked out.
 A concise advance of the plans were submitted to q. B. Mccormack, ST., who is chairman of the improve ment committee, in conference with other committeeman from the club and Mir Mccormack gave his unqual- flied approval, this meaning other more advanced details may be rap idly carried forward.

 During tho past summer a swim ming pool of concrete, 9Gx1O0 in size, with smooth cement surfaces on bot tom and sides, was completed at cost of several thousand dollars. and since it's completion the additional privi- Ieges have made membership much more desirable.
 The new clubhouse. for which rock is already being quarried. will be erected immediately in the center of the main triangle or club grounds proper on the crest of Shades noun tain.
 Every modern detail advantageous for such a structure will be included which is to be designed along Japa- nese lines. not only being particular ly beautiful, but in a sense becoming one of the sights" of the mountain roads around Birmingham.
 From the location chosen views may be had. for many miles in every di- rection. and an observatory, enhanc- Ing the length of the view, will sur mount the building.
 The second floor will be one i'm mense dance floor, 50x60, in size, giv- ing 5000 square feet of dancing space and French windows and doors will be used exclusively on the uppei dance floors, so that during the sum lner nights it may be completel, thrown. open to the bracing breeze. which blow across the crest o Shades mountain.

M. Y. JOSEPH TALKS. 0F TRIP ID EUROPE.
Unsettled Conditions Prevail in Leading Countries.
 Want Disarmament

Europe is disorganized, distressed and unstable, but hopeful and exp ect- ant, according to M. V. Joseph, who has just returned from three months trip abroad.
 "Of course, I am glad to be back in Birmingham among my friends" he said. we had an interesting and instructive trip. but one is always glad to get back home"
 When asked to give his impressions of economic conditions across the waters, he said that Europe. as a whole, was very unsettled. We found the most distressing conditions in Vienna" he sald. This has changed from beautiful, artistic city to a center of distress. I Saw children being carried from there into Switzerland by the trainload to es- cape starving.
 .'In England, of course. the para mount problem is unemployment One does not get the impression that the masses are thinking much about the Irish situation. They think that 1t will be solved eventually, and, of course. the leaders are doing their best to bring about settlement"
 Mr. Joseph said that Germany seemed more prosperous. but he add. ed, conditions there are still unset- tied I think the trouble is the low exchange rate of their money and he scar city of raw material. The Ger mans are working very hard. All they need is the ra~ material and a market for their goods.
 Tired of War.
 "In fact. this seems to be the trouble with all of the European countries. The people are tired of war and unrest. They are willing to work, but they need something with which to work. We must let them havs the iasv material and take the finished product in payment" Mir. Joseph said that America was to be congratulated, in that the shock 1 of deflation had been met so sue l cessfully. He said that the English ! man was more conservative and had | been slower to readjust.
 "Tho retail prices in France are i surprisingly high. despite the, low | rate of their monetary exchange-l. l or 13 francs to the American dollar he said.
 Disarmament Conference. l When aSkeu dDOut HIS iiifpi Sssloi ! of the attitude of the people toward | the coming disarmament conference MT. Joseph said: They are hopeful i that it may meet with some degree of success in stabilizing conditions and saving millions which they SC much need. But, after all, 1t depends upon the statesmanship. Re leaders I nave confidence in the conference l as indicated by the sending of thell | hra.niest ito help solve the prob 1 lcrns. The heart of the masses beats right. but they need intelligent iead' l ership
 .I do not mean to discredit the in telligencet+ of our leaders. but be I lieve that if more v our statesmen | would visit Europe and make thor l ough study of conditions they would change their opinion about grea
 many things"

a commission on social service and
Brotherhood. So have the Congre-
gationalists. The Methodists have a
Federation Social Service. The Pres
byterians have .Bureau' of Social
Service. Rev. Charles Sickle, him
self a man with a dinner pail has led
Presbyterians in this work for ten
years. The Protestant Episcopal
church has a Joint Commission on
Social Service. And the Roman Ca.n-
Ollie church is right in line on ..his
program. There is an increasing
purpose to investigate the facts and
apply the remedies in all the walks Of
life.
Not Revolution But Evolution
But this thing cannot be done over
night. There is too much of the
Old Adam in US all. The Cain spirit
still exists, crying out Indignantly,
Gam I my brothers keeper?" The re-
construction of human nature is a
slow job. Force and revolution are
senseless performances. Connivance
and treachery have place here. The
new social order must be a develop
ment. The evils that plague society
are not like cancers that can be cut
out with the knife of the surgeon,
never to return. They are blood dis
eases that require generations to ex-
terminate. Like the tides of the
ocean, they cannot be fastened. And
when we think that the tide is at it's
height, a backward rolling wave again
exposes rocks and marsh which ap-
peared to be permanently covered,
nevertheless, in time. the tide reaches
it's highest level. Christ threw a
bombshell into the. ranks of the list
less, selfish, Indifferent society, break
ing up their hide-bound conversation.
AAnd ever since his day the church has
been a disturber of the peace. The
church which is not a disturber Of the
peace Of an unjust social order is
little more than Sleeping Beauty as
social institution. The church
ought never to rest while injustice
anywhere prevails. It should create
discomfort with an imperfect social
order, and keep men forever striving
to correct the faculty, abolish the
hurtful and inaugurate the good. The
poor, the aaptive, the blind, the
bruised, the hungry, the thirsty, the
sick, the naked, are and must be its
care and solicitude Only thus can
the social order be made christian. I,

Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the EuStachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result. Unless
the inflammation can be reduced, your
hearing may be destroyed forever.
