 Quite near the Lycie is the Uni- versity' of Paris, which includes the Sarbonne, which was visited and found of absorbing interest Among other things, Dr. Glenn said he in- quired about friend CD of Rotarian John Henley's, who lived in Birming- ham for a brief period and claimed to be a graduate of the Sarbonnv, but of whom they had no record.
 Women Visit Shops
 I said we women spent our time visiting the shops. An especially fine opportunity for this was afforded by the Paris Rotary club, which invited all of us to join them in a conducted party through the principal shops and dressmaking establishments of the city. Starting at the best-known and perhaps the oldest of all, Worths, we were taken on a personally con- ducted tour through Printemps Le Louvre, Samaratin, LaFayettes and others. I cannot even attempt de- scription of what we saw. Paris styles are not essentially different from what we observed in New York. Skirts, as is well known, are worn longer. the tendency apparently be- Ing away from extremes, Dotn Tn color and design. We were particularly interested in what MT. Worth per sonally told us regarding the history of his firm, and his own experience with the American trade. Tt is not always an easy thing" said he, ito get either particular material or style started in America At pres ent we are endeavoring to launch a certain fabric, but it looks as if t will take at least year, or perhaps two. to get 1t in vogue"
 The Rotary women are ready to vote this day the most interesting Of any yet spent in Europe.
 In the afternoon, Mrs. Edmonds and Mrs. Glenn joined group of ir- mingham women at tea at the Ameri- can club. Among those present were: Mrs. Viola Roden Reddin and daugh- ter now making their home in Paris, 'aIid Mrs Jack Bowron, their guest; Mrs. Alex London and her two dadyh- ters, and Mrs. w. E. B. Davis.
 The American club is one of the most popular places in Paris for American women to gather. Here, as nowhere else in the city, may be had real American sandwiches and iced tea. This particular occasion fur-

ITALIANS PREPARE
 FOR ENTERTAINING
 GENERAL BADOGL|O
Banquet and Parade to Fea- ture Officers Visit to Bir- mingham-Chamber of
 Commerce to Assist

Next to the highest officer in the Italian royal army, General Badog- lio, and staff will be guests of the Italian branch of the Chamber of Commerce September 6.
 Elaborate prepara ton for his en- tertainment is under way. The pro- gramme includes meeting of the dis tinguished guests by a guard of hon or, luncheon at the Tutwiler, a visit to Ensley and other places where there are large Italian contingents, s drive about the residential section of the city and final banquet at night prior to his departure, rendered by the Italians and the Chamber of Commerce.
 owing to the prominence of Gen. Badoglio, the Italians are already formulating plans for parade In which the various Italian societies and the several thousand Italians in the district will participate
 Notice of the coming of General Badoglio was contained in a letter
  Robert M Nolan, retired. who turned the letter over to the Chamber Of Commerce. The Italian branch of the chamber was notified and imme- diately waxed enthusiastic over the generals coming, declaring he was next to the biggest military chief in their native country.
 The war department in its letter declares that General Badoglio has been officially the guest of this country from July 15 to 21 and is now making a tour of the country in order to get in touch with the Italian contingents in America and observe them at first hand.
 General Badoglio and his aide de- camp, Captain Hutchinson, will leave St. Louis September 4 and spend the next day in New Orleans. He leaves New Orleans the night of September ,, arriving in Birmingham Septem- Der at noon over the Louisville and Nashville and will leave here tha { night at SAP o'clock.
 Birmingham Italians are hrimful of patriotic fervor over the prospect of entertaining General Badoglio.

 He gave rather gloomy picture of educational conditions in France. The same old story of poorly paid teachers Cthe men teachers in this particular school receiving 300 francs. about $25 per month"; He wished he were back in America. Said hc: "Confidentially, 1 am an American citizen, but don't tell anyone, or they wouldn't let me teach here" He re- ported that the compulsory attend- ance law was a dead letter, and judg ing from the number of idle chil dren seen on the streets during school hours. his statement is correct No teacher in France is permitted 0y law to whip a child, though the or der or lack of order in this particu lar school indicated that some form of correction would be advisable.
 Here. as in Scotland, men teach children of the first and second grades. On the whole, said Dr. Glenn the children appeared less cheerful than American children. there seemed little evidence of child love on the part of the teachers.
 In the afternoon the Lycil de Louis Grand, spending to our high school. was visited. In Paris the classic still holds prominent place in the schools. Hundreds, even thousands of high school boys and girls were seen leaving this school at dismissal with single large book under their arm Upon inves- tigation, this was found to be q Latin dictionary and the student cf whom inquiry was made explained

 Birmingham has honored him in many ways and with different offices. He was the first all derman to represent South High laiH1s in the city of Birmingham during the administration of D. J. Fox. His associate was Capt. James Meade. This was the time when Greater Birming gham actually was begun. He was president of the city council dur ing Capt. Frank O'Brien's term and was acting mayor for the short time between the death of Captain. O'Brien and Mr. Culpep- Der Exum's taking office. He served also in the administra- tions of Mel Drennen, and George Ward and MT. EXum.
 All of this. too. while he kept up his work as 6 drummer He always managed to make home in time to be at the city pow VOWS.

 Sometimes, though, l think We can't beat the old days And ] know We can't beat the old friends, And what I say is: All anyone has in the world is his or her friends. Keep them. They are worth it." Harry Jones eyes looked very far away as he spoke, recalling many of the old boys now long dead he had known in Birmingham's early times.
 1t seems impossible to realize such changes have taken place, where so short time ago l used to drive about the old fields here and out to Woodlawn to Oa w. Wood and Bunk Montgomery's store.
