The Halloween sprites, ghouls, gob- lins, witches and vampires that you have heard so much about turned out to be plain, everyday "hants" last night. Their work was accomplished in spite, of the rough weather and gate posts, furniture and swings were spirited away, not very far but just far enough to come home today.
 There might not have been any spiritualistie influences afloat when it came to the mean little tricks of the rowdy sprites, but there Is one in Birmingham who probably
 wouldn't welcome any kind of a ghost again, not even on the night set apart for them. He is Mir. Lewis, who lives on Highland avenue and Twenty-first street. Softly the little sEoblins invited him into their jolly crowd about 10 o'clock~last night
 It is understood that there is a dif- ference between ghosts and the ones who visited MT. Lewis were just common "hants," and when he went to the door, seemingly glad of their in- vltation, or at least wiling to well come them, he received } shower of eggs that spread themselves over tn

door faoings, walls, steps and, sad to say, one struck him right on the headl Would you wonder. If he had asked them, How come?"S
 Residents in other sections of the city received a warm welcome from the same little army of ghosts and so did people who even rode the street cars. Pedestrians didn't dare to wait for the little bitty" ghosts to tag their coattails when they passed dark place on the street. The bell ringing, the shouting, the disappear ing furniture, front gates and porch swings left a mysterious atmosphere hanging over the whole city.
 A party of good ghosts caused quite disturbance in a negro sec tion early last night. Several ne- groes had gathered in an alley to roll the bones" and just as they were deeply interested in the game. and didn't know there was anything to bother, a sharp command. "Halt!' and great white something glided smoothly and softly toward them from an entrance across the alley. Half a minute-not a sound was heard but distant steps.

Mrs Angus Taylor, president of the club, stated that since the member ship of the Axis club was restricted to wives, mothers and unmarried daughters of Rotarians, 1t could no longer exist with the restricted mem bership. The matter was thoroughly discussed, many being in favor Of d1sbanding since International Rotary did not desire to haye any women's clubs in any way COIL ected with their organization.
 Vote Is Taken
 However, many were in favor of continuing the club q ld amending the constitution to allow other women to belong and to ehanE2 the purpose. When the vote was put there were 22 in favor of continuing the organiza- tion and II against.
 Mrs. Ralph Barrow then submitted an amendment to the constitution making the purpose of the club as follows ITO create and sustain a greater civic consciousness and to encourage and stand sponsor for work being done for women and girls"
 Mrs. Lloyd Josselyn offered an amendment to the constitution allow ing the members to be elected by membership committee, Each appli- cants name to be proposed by mem Der in good standing and recommend ed by two members n good standing. Both of these amendments will be voted on at the meeting of the club to be held November 2S.
 Axis Club Organized
 Several months ago the Axis club was organized by the wives, moth- CTS and sisters of Rotarians and dur ing the summer has carried out splendid programme of learning what the various institutions in this city were doing.

CUTS OFF HIS HAND


 Using his left hand to steady a block of wood which he was cutting into kindling yesterday morning, w. c. Harmon, BOA Second avenue, struck at the block, missed, and severed the hand from the wrist.
 Harmon. who lived near the Bir- mlngham infirmary, grasped his severed wrist in his right hand and ran to the hospital, where he received immediate attention and the com mendation of authorities in charge for his presence of mind.
 It was said at the hospital that the case was a rare one, due to the fact that the cut was as clean as if performed by a surgeon. His chances for recovery were said to be excellent, although he had suffered the loss of considerable blood following the ac- cident.

SEMI-CENTENNIAL
 ADVERTISED CITY
 THROUGH NATION
Civic Association Hears Dis CuSSion on Results of Bir- mingham'S Celebration.
 Papers Carried Stories

Birmingham's semi-centennial ad- vertising was a success only because she had the goods to back up the publicity, in the opinion of John Sparrow, director of advertising for the celebration, who was the princi- pal speaker at the luncheon of the forum of the Civic association yes terday.
 'T was very much surprised at the ease with which we spread the news of the Birmingham semi-centennial over the nation at large" Mir. Spar row said. Instead of having to re- quest the great news services to take stories about the event, the tables were turned and we had difficulty in supplying them with all they asked for.
 Has Registered
 'srhe semi-centennial certainly raised Birmingham several degrees in the eyes of tho nation. To use a movie phrase, VIC have registered on the nation. The Presidents visit wAs partly responsible. but I do not be- lieve the President would have como 10 Birmingham if he had not wanted to see the city.
 'The semi centennial helped us throughout the state in showing to people at large that Birmingham really belongs to them. We must continue 10 impress upon the people Of the state that they partly make Birmingham possible. and Birming- ham is consumer for much of their produce.
 ''The effect upon Birmingham it. self of the mi-centennial ie that 1t showed us we could do something big. It has brought people together. and now we are ready to so for ward to bigger things"
 Thanks to Bowie
 Upon the motion of Frank E. But Ter. a committee was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions of thanks from this association to give to Sydney J. Bowie for tho part he played in making the celebration a success.
 Charles L. Harold, secretary-mana- ger of the Civic Association, read several editorials in papers of nation al circulation about the Birmingham celebration. and displayed a hand full of clippings as specimens of n number which are pouring in from all parts of the country showing the nationwide publicity Birmingham has gotten for the event.

distinct shock. However, the mem bers present decided to continue the club with absolutely no connection with the Rotary club, but as a wom- ans club. Many are of the opinion that this will form the found9tion for a womans departmental club in Birmingham, as practically every large city in the south has such an organization.
 Plans for the work of the Axis club will be determined at the next meet ing.
 Mrs. Edmonds Speaks
 Mrs. Henry NJ. Edmonds made an in teresting talk on her trip to Europe last summer, where. with Dr. Ed monds, she attended the International Rotary convention held in Edinburgh, Scotland. She gave a vivid descrip- ton of her trip from the time she sailed from New York until her re- turn, which was greatly enjoyed by all members present.
 Mrs. Carolyn B. Angsfeltd of the public library made a short talk about the exhibition of books of To- cal authors at the Birmingham .li- brary, stating that Birmingham, al- though an industrial center. had con tributed more authors and short story writers than any other city in the United States, with the excep- tion of New York city. She invited the members of the Axis club to vis- it the library and see this exhibit, which was attracting much attent tion. It was announced that Mrs. w. J. Wheeler has offered a sl00 scholar ship to Wheeler's Business college to any girl from the Alabama Training School for Girls.
 Rotary-Anns

While Birmingham last week was making history with it's semi-centen- nial celebration our sister city, Co., lumbus Miss, also recorded a most interesting chapter in history the week before with it's centennial cele- bration.
 From far and wide old residents of Columbus gathered to do honor to the city they loved, and the three days programme was beautifully pre- scented, one of the features of the occasion being a drill on the Missis- sippi Woman's college campus of 1000 girls.

nothing occurred during the day the occasion in the
slightest No accidents fights and few, any political
discussions.
The display Of fine cattle was an honor to Noxubee The
