the program committee. Mrs. New /
has been devoting her time to the |
teaching of a class in stenography |
which absented her from the club for
the past few months. Miss Ada Gail
braitk was appointed acting chair
man during Mrs. News absence and
provided some very interesting pro-
gram for the entertainment and edi-
fication of the club women. One OF
the best was rendered when Mr.. VIII
liam Woods gave some readings from
the pen of Howard Weeden.
No other writer has ever portrayed
to the world the distinct types of
ante bellum negro in so poetic form
as Howard Weeden, one of Alabama's
most gifted women. Mr.. Woods de-
lights to render these selections
which he does with great skill, ana
Admission proudly boasts that ne is
one of Alabamas most gifted sons,
He is an artist, literary critic ana
author of high-class literature ana
a reader of exceptional ability. An
AN interpreter of negro dialect he g
inimitable.
A most enjoyable feature of the
program was a seXtet, from the re-
Gently organized glee club, under
the direction of Professor Doster.

From the Boot and Shoe Recorder.
For the printer took his rubber
mat and cut out soles and heels from
it. tackled them on to his shoes and
in peace--in utter defiance Of print
er's devils and quite oblivious to the
fact that ne was founding new in
dustry.
So much for the legend.
The business of making rubber
heels now has worldwide connec
tions and systems of distributions. and
skilled engineers and scientists have
been at work for several years IN
industrial laboratories. working out
compounds of rubber that will meet
the needs OF the business most ex-
Actly.
As an example of the almost uni
versal use Of the rubber heel, con-
sentative figures repared by the
Rubber Association of America, show
that 125. 100000 pairs Of rubber heels
were sold In this country during
1920. From the City of Brockton.
