dren. and I feel sure that many of the club members laid their coin cards aside for the moment think ing they'd send their contributions later, and have just forgotten it. We urge our members who have not con tributed to the party to do so at once, as, of course. we'd like to know how we stand on the question of finances.
 We are counting or fully 1,5oo children if not more" said Secretary Dobbins, and we have planned most delightful occasion for the lit tie children. We are going to have the party at East Lake and we have the concessions for that occasion-- swimming, rowing, boating, dancing. the merry -go-round, the shoot-the- chutes,' everything that East Lake, the interesting miniature Coney Island of Birmingham, offers. We are going to provide just as much ice cream and cake and soft drinks as the lSiddies want. and the day will be one of merry making and joy to the dependent children of our city, who deserve all the good things that can go towards making them happy"
 "ln giving the party to the city's dependent children" Secretary Dob bins continued we are establishing custom which we want to make annual. In fact we have already done this. because with the initial party next month. the definite date of which will be announced later, we intend to make the occasion such delightful one that every summer the hundreds and hundreds of children who go 10 this one will look forward to the midsummer party just as they anticipate the coming of Santa Claus and Christmas with all of it's pleas ures and ioys

'1t is our purpose to assemble the children in Woodrow Wilson park, Secretary Dobbins said, land there scores of automobiles which have been generously offered for the oc- casion, will be in waiting. The band from the Boys Industrial school will give us programme before the grand procession starts for East Lake and head the procession.
 ''We want to make the party by the Birmingham Automobile club as mo- table an occasion as the Christmas trees and the Thanksgiving parties which are given annually, and here after we will count no summer in Birmingham complete without the city's dependent children being the guests at a splendid, wonderful pie nic party with the Birmingham Au- tomobile club as host
 "We want the heads of the various institutions such as the Mercy Home. the Rescue Home of the Salvation Army, the community houses. and ali institutions connected with tie city welfare department to let us know how many children will be at our party. Already we have the infor- mation that more than 500 will be present from the various city well fare institutions, more than 100 from the East Lake orphanage, so as quickly as 1t can be done, we'd like to hear from the other institutions. Then with the rest of the members of the Automobile club who haven't responded to our request for con tributions for the party responding promptly. final arrangements for the party will be made and the date set somewhere between August l and TO-, and everything will be in readiness for this gala occasion"

Women Are Seeking
 Closer Knowledge of ! City Affairs

I SIDE from the church organiza-
 LA\ tions, most of the women's G S clubs have taken things quiet ly during the summer months.
 There have been no meetings ex- eepting an occasional call for the purpose of settling some question in regard to present business-some- thing that would not wait until the cool days of autumn. However, there is one organization which has felt the necessity of meeting regularly and has functioned throughout the entire heated term. That organiza- ton Is the League of Women Voters
 This being an election year, these newly enfranchised citizens feel the responsibility of learning more about municipal housekeeping, more abou; present city government, a closer ac- quaintance with the city government and the city governors, more about who the candidates for the next city commission will be ana TOT what kind of government they stand and. If elected" expect to have and will OS6 t1elf pest eIAOTIS IO DTOulONe the kind of laws the city now has and to what extent they are or are not observed consequently the League of Women Voters are having . busy summer season.
 At the meeting next Tuesday aft ernoon at 4:30 o'clock at the Hillman hotel, the programme will consist of a study of the citys health laws, regulations and observances. Dr. J. s. Bowling and City Attorney Fred Moore have been invited to address them on the subject.
 One of the aspirants for city com missioner will also give a 10 min utes' talk upon why He Should Be Elected to the Commission"
 Not only is the League of Women Voters interested in local questions, but they are also making a study of questions of larger scope dealing with the greatest good to the great est number. Among the most impor tant of these is national disarmament by International agreement. A res olution at the national meeting of the League of Women Voters a which a number of Birmingham women were present and for which they voted was one calling upon the President of the United States to take the lead in calling a conference of nations, the object being to cease appropriations for war purposes and to bring about an agreement be- tween the great powers to cease war and create peace sentiment rather than war.
 The Business and Professional Women's club joined with the League of Women Voters in passing resolu- ton and appointed a standing com mittee to assist in furthering the cause. The pastors union passed

 this town is the party which the Birmingham Automobile club is planning for the dependent children of Birmingham early next month.
 Enthusiasm from officers and members of the club point in the di- rection of a huge success, and it won't be the fault of President Charles G. Davis, nor of Secretary James r.
