EVER PLAY "PlLLOW
JOUST"? GREAT GAME

As the knights old, we boys and
girls-especially boys-enjoy a good
game where skill and strength COM
bined are necessary. The knights
used to hold their tournaments, with
all their armor and their spears and
horses. Today the fellows in the
neighborhood like to play games
based on the same idea.
Just Like Knights
One of these games is that known
as Pillow Joust 1t is game that
can be played indoors as we'll as out.
If it is played inside, however, it
is well to stage the battle where a
little scufhng OF the floor will not
bring down mothers wrath.
AS the name suggests, the game
is a joust, or tournament, some
thing like those Of the knights. The
only armor used is a pillow made of
extremely strc7g ticking and stuffed
fairly tight win hay or straw
Two Players Only
Draw on the floor, or on the
ground, two parallel lines a yard
apart and eight feet long. This
forms lane three feet wide.
Two play at a time. Each boy
fastens a pillow to the top OF hi.
head with strong rope--clotheslint
IS good. They stand at opposite
ends Of the lane.
Some one shouts the word GO =
At that the two contestants lowei
their heads and charge. The col
lision comes after about three steps
II one of the players is knocked
head over heels backwards the one
who does the knocking gets ont
point to his credit. Ii player i!
forced to step over either side o
the lane he is endorsed" and tw'
counts are credited to the playe
who unhorses his opponent.
"Conqueredw
And then, If the opponent i
butted backward to the place h
started from he is Conquered" an,
the count in favor of the othe
player is three. When one OF th
two is conquered the game ends.
The arms of both players mus
be folded all during the game. an
one count is deducted from tn
credits of a player il he uniolds hi
arms.
The play continues for five mir
utes unless one OF the boys is cor
quered, and the one having the mo
points to his credit at the end {
that time is the winner.

MISS HUMPHREYS
 SUCCESS IN ROME

Miss Neida Humphrey, an Alabama girl from Huntsville has made a re- markable success in Rome, where she recently appeared in grand opera.
 The Italian newspapers are profuse in her praise. The following transla- tion from the La Maschera," which appeared in recent copy of the Huntsville Telegram, is an example of the concentrations which she re- ceived from many Italian newspapers:
 Miss Neida Humphrey comes to us rom America-a native of Huntsville Ala. It was her desire to be christened by musical Italy, and especially by the Roman public, and she achieved complete victory, fulfilling the Cea- sarian motto: Veni, vidi, vici. She won immediate and matchlcss success en- tirely due to her own merit. Miss Humphrey is young operatic singer, having before her radiant future. She is pupil of the celebrated baritone Guglielmo Caruson whom Rome still remembers in his memorable triumphs won on the stage of the Argentina theatre--once the city opera house; she reveals all the excellence of his method and perfection of his training, In America, Miss Humphrey is known as splendid concert singer, and this we can readily understand for she has an exquisitely musical, and soulful temperament. Her voice is classified as Lyric--high soprano, a rare char acteristic which very few artists pos- sess. She can in a manner most nat ural render light roles as well as dramatic ones, succeeding in both with surprising ease and dramatic facility. She has unusual ease of vocal control in esthetic accents, resonance and sus- tainfns power also great range and sympathetic qualities always respond : ing to the demands of Puccinfs florid melodies Her voice knows how to caress and stir with refined elegance in bel canto, and renders the difficult high notes in which La Boheme abounds-with profound artistic in tuition. Her art is simply noble in in- terpreting the recitative, and in bend

 c present Bernardo Olshansky. baritone; Lillian Pringle, cellist and Florence Brinkman, pianist, in two concerts on February and 5. These concerts will be given at the South ern club for the benefit of Pelham chapter, United Daughters of the Con- federacy. Of these artists it is said ::
 Bernardo Olshansky, the Russian baritone, is just in the fullness of his powers. Young enough to preserve the uonderful freshness of his superb voice and old enough to possess ma : tured judgment of tonal values, he gives to his audience exquisite pleas urs.
 He sung for two seasons with Ca vided honors with these great artists. His two seasons with the Boston Opera company gave him an enviabl, reputation which was added to by his season with the Montreal Opera com pany and that of the National Opera company of Mexico.
 Olshansky is one of those modest. urtassuming geniuses who realizes the full possibilities of his art; and his sound technique and beautiful voice have won him Q place in the hearts of-the American people that few artists have attained. The sweetness of his vocal quality is remarkable and this taken with his skill in programme building gives to his work a charm that is as unique >as it is satisfying.

of intimate association and instruc- ton from Bruno Steindel at his Chi cago studio, is nevertheless finished product of that great master of the cello, Anton Hekking, under whose i'm struction she passed many fruitful years in Holland.
 Hekkings pupil found warm recep- tion in the musical circles of Europa and playing now for royalty, then fo: concert hall audiences and again with orchestras, Lillian Pringle built up the technique and the understanding that distinguishes her control of the cello.
 Miss Brinkmans early training was had in America, but like most of our celebrated pianists, she went to Eu- rope at an early age. There under such great masters as Rudolph Briet- haupt, she perfected her education and gained in skill. Because of her ability
 she was chosen as one of the faculty of the Huttner Conservatorium, Dorf- mund, Germany.
 Miss Brinkman is now again estab- lished in America. Last year she wis., ited few of our cities in all of which she has won the approval of her audi ences. We are glad that this season We can offer her longer tour. We feel sure that the encomiums already won by her will be added to. and that 1 those communities that are fortunate enough to secure the company in which she is playing will be glad of their opportunity

U. D. C. CELEBRATE LEES BIRTHDAY

The United Daughters of the Con federacy of Birmingham and suburbs joined in celebrating Robert E. Lees birthday in which al veterans were in vited to participate. The meeting was held in the comfortable rooms of the Boys club where Camp Hardee now hold their meetings.
 | Judge J. T. Garretson of Camp Hardee was chairman, and very de- hghtful programme was carried out. Owing to the sudden death of MT George Chambers. who had been ap- pointed programme chairman of this gathering, the programme had to be changed and feeling of sadness at the going away of this popular veteran pervaded the exercises. An appropriate
 invocation was made by MT. Hunter Camp Hardee chaplain. As the speak CT of the day was unavoidably absent Judge Garretson called on some of the members present for impromptu talks Dr. Q. T. Dozier after making appro- pirate remarks on the Life of Lee" gave talk on Robert Emmett and Dixie, which was thrilling and in- teresting. This was followed by the singing or Dixie with great feeling by ] all present. MT. William E. Yancey gave short eulogy of General Lee. which was followed with familiar Con
 federate songs so popular in the old
 uays or the sixties and which never
 1all to thrill and inspire in these days
 Of a happier time. Many veterans called
 for talk from Mrs. Chappell Cory
 who responded with a tribute to Lee
 and feelingly alluded to the vacant
 chair of Comrade George Chambers.
 MT. Joseph A. Jones read a most in
 teresting article on the mother of Gen
 eral Lee and after a talk from Colonel
 McLaughlan which pleased everybody.
 the meeting was turned oyerS.to the
 Daughters who served delicious re-
 treatments furnished by Wilcox chap
