HONORS WAR HERO.

The body of Lieut.. Ray
mond Clyde Taylor of the
96th Aero Squadron, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Taylor, was
| inferred with full military honors
rendered by the American Legion
| post OF Bar Harbor, at his birthplace
in North Sullivan, Wednesday after
noon, Oct. IL. At noon all work
stopped and industrial plants and

Impressive services at the family

Quoted by Rev. John F. Bisbee,
former chaplain of the United
States army and one of his college
classmates. He gave a brief sketch
OF Lieut.. TaylOr's life and of his en-
thusiastic service to his country.
After finishing his studies in the
local schools, Mr.. Taylor went to
Massachusetts, making his home
with his sister, and was graduated
from the Arlington high school in
4912.
Immediately following his gradu-
alton from Tufts Engineering
School in 1916, and before the
United States had entered the war.
he began to make preparations to
serve in the army of his country
by attending the Plattsburg training
camp. In February, 1917, he volun-
teered for active service, and was as
signed to Miami, Fla, for instruc-
ton. He completed his training at
the University of Texas and at
Rantoul, Ill. In October, after he
was commissioned and just before
sailing for France, he married Miss
Dolly EpHatton Of Quincy.
Eager to reach the front, and
hearing that bombers would be Civ
en- precedence over all other air
pilots, he managed to be trans
ferred to the American bombing
school at Clermont- Ferrond. FL
nally, he was sent to the front at
Amanty, where he served for three
months, making twenty-one raids
over the lines.
On the late afternoon of Septem-
Der 16, he led the last bombing air
raid of the st. Mihiel drive. At
tackled by an overwhelming number
OF enemy planes, he was shot down,
put not before he had sent two of
the enemy planes crashing to the
earth.
A fellow officer says of him: HE
was always the consistent, unassum-
ing, steady, cheerful Mike (his nick
name), soldier who did more to
keep up the morale OF the squadron
than any one else in it. OF all the
pilots there was none so reliable
and devoted to duty" ~--

Bl0ckfiars of University to Be at Jefferson
 Theatre Wednesday
By JOSEPHINE NIXON HENLEY

N1OMING to Birmingham under the
 auspices of the entertainment
 unit of the Church of the Ad- vent, the Blackfriars of the University of Alabama will appear at the Jeffer- son theatre Wednesday, evening at s.15 o'clock.
 The name Blackfriars recalls the Do- n1inioen monks whose monastery was built in the heart of London hundreds of years ago, and who had already de- parted from it when their great hall was used as theatre, where Queen Elizabeth was entertained by plays, in which the actors were choristers, per- forming under the direction of their choirmaster. With this association the title carries the suggestion of youth, which makes it most appropriate for these college students.
 The entertainment which they will present is for the benefit of the memo rial organ fund of the Church of the Advent.
 The memorial organ, as it is called, Is one of the finest in the south, and was built in the church in memory of the boys who went across the seas to uphold the highest ideals of the age.
 Its lofty strains recall from week to week the ones who will never return, and who are represented upon the great service flag of the church with stars of gold and in equal measure, those others who came back and whose lives each day are doing honor to their coun- try.
 Of the entertainment unit of the church, Mrs. o. l.. Stephenson is now the chairman, and Mrs. E. R. McDavid vice chairman, but 1t is really imma- terial as to which office each holds, for their work is in unison and in it they are untiring.
 They are of the women whose lives, shining with good deeds, are like torches not lighted for themselves but to brighten the pathways of others.
 The plays and entertainments which they have presented from time to time have been of high character and won- derfully conducted.
 Mrs. Stephenson5s lovely voice is we'll known to all Birmingham and Mrs Mc- David is widely beloved and is distinc- lively representative of the city and of the beauty of Alabamas women.
 Tn speaking of the coming of the Blackfriars, Mrs. McDavid said: Many people seem to think that the Black friars only appear in Shakespaarean plays, yet this is not the case.s and the plays which they will present here Wednesday evening are principally comedies.
 They will give four one-act plays, three comedies and a tragedy, and in the tragedy Prof Hudson Strodc, the director. takes the leading part.
 Professor Strode is well known in Birmingham, as he comes each year to lecture for the Drama league, whose members would feel the years pro- Eramme incomplete without him, and 1t is only short time ago that he ap peg red here under their auspices
 Among the stars in the plays to be presented here are two popular young Birmingham men, Alan Drennen and Armstrong Cory.
 There will be 12 actors in the com parry. and the. following programme will be given
