tions made in some quarters that the
Keren Hayesod was "un-American.' y
AS further evidence OF its sterling
American character, he cited the
fact that the honorary chairman OF
the board of trustees In New York
was Samuel Untermyer. the chief
counsel of the New York State Lock-
wood Investigating Committee.
AS evidence of the generosity
which the Keren Hayesod had called
out among American Jews he cited
the case of the Brownsville section
of Brooklyn. He said, 1T is a
philosophic commonplace that in
establishing a fact, one positive is
worth more than hundred negatives.
The absence OF vegetation in a bar
rem country proves nothing. One
successful plantation or grove or
orchard means everything. So par
ticular interest attached to the ex-
ceptional success of the Keren
Hayesod in America. Here is the
case of Brownsville-populous. con
gested. but largely unproductive
from the Zionist point OF view. The
most it had raised for the Palestine
Restoration Fund was approximate
ly $1,000 in 1920. No one seemed
to know what allied Brownsville, or
how TO cure the malady. Then came
the Keren Hayesod, and a wave of
enthusiasm. the like of which
Brownsville had never experienced,
swept through the community.
There swere meetings. conferences
and a feverish activity. Everyone

deal more in pledges-twice as much
as the sum raised for the war relief.
Can the Keren Hayesod succeed in
America? Our answer is-Browns-

Mr.. Schweitzer laid emphasis on
the fact that not a dollar raised in
this country was used to support tho
Zionist Organization in America or
elsewhere. but that every cent not

FEMALE BILL HART
 HERE IN PERSON
Screen Artist in "Spitfire" Makes Appearance at
 LoeW'S Bilou

Texas Guinan. known as the female Bill Hart of the screen. will appear in person in Birmingham Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, May 1, and 3, at Loew's BiJou. and will be seen
 in a play entitled "The Spitfiler," with Jack Ginn. Charles Nagle. Ar thur Ludwig, Harold Vosburgh. Joe Smith and Waco" the Horse, as members of the cast.
 Texas Guinan was born on her fathers S.000-acre ranch, just outside of Waco. Tex, and at a very early age became an expert equestrienne and lariat thrower. Her costume in those juvenile days was the same as the men wore-chaps, flannel shirt, Mexican boots and a huge sombrero. She invariably rode astride, and acted in every way like the full fledged cowboys around her. But fate decreed that the dashing Texas Guinan should not bury herself and her talents on a far-off ranch, and so she was sent to a female seminary III lItiiNCis SOlsf hHtIc SHe was lne life of the institution. Eventually a school entertainment was given, and this proved the turning point in her young life. She was given a popular song to sing and rendered it with such fine effect that Colonel Peter McCourt the famous middle west theatrical manager. who was present, made her an offer to appear in one of his travelling companies. She accepted it. From the first night of her ap- pearance on the professional stage. it was apparent that her breezy per sonality was ideally suited to the glitter and excitement of the theatri- cal world. Soon after her maiden venture. she went to New York and for several seasons acted in Broad way and itinerant attractions. She was subsequently signed for the New York Winter Garden company to ap- pear in its big spectacular revue, "The Passing Show of 1912" in which she made a great hit.
 Miss Texas Guinan had consider able fame in the theatre before the late Paul de Longpre. world famed painter of flowers. made her famous by discovering she had orchid eyes. and that's a color all by itself, and neither blue nor violet nor purple. Miss Guinan. believes that hers are the only truly orchid eyes in the world

 Too many of us have been con tent to let this great man entertain us with his great gifts. without dis covering the deep moral earnestness which kept his cunning hand at work through the years to heal broken hearts and to bring the ra diant life of the Gauiean to shine not only on Christmas. but through all the year into the homes of both rich and poor It was his simple faith that when men truly grasped the meaning and spirit of Jesus Christ. their hearts would be full of gladness, and their lips and hands with kind words and good deeds That Christmas would last all tine year.

CHRISTIAN, JOYOUS
 LIFE, SAYS HENDRIX
Pastor Highlands Methodist Church Delivers Sermon of
 Dickens Series

The Christian Life As Joyous Life" was the topic used by Dr w R. Hendrix in his evening ser mon at the Highlands Methodist church, basing his remarks on the conversion of Ebenezer Scroogs as related by Charles Dickens in his christmas Carols"
 Since the series of Sunday eve hing sermons on the religious element in the writings of Dickens began many have become interested. The series will continue for several weeks. The sermon in part. follows;
 "In spite of the hardships and heartaches of his childhood and youth, Charles Dickens was one of the most joyful spirits that ever gladdened the world by their labors and presence. Gladness radiated from his presence like light and warmth from the face of the sun. One of his favorlte Scripture texts was these words of Jesus; These things
 
 night be in you and that your joy might be full In his preface to the volume of Christmas Stories he says: My chief purpose in writing these stories, was In a whimsical kind ef mask which the good humor of the season justified to awaken some loving and forbearing thoughts, never out of season in Christian land
 "The Christmas Carol is probably the most popular of the large col lection of Christmas stories he has left us, and when we come to an- slyze the story, its chief charm lies in the successful effort of the author to cure on Christmas time that grasp ing miser and brutal 'kill-joy.' Ebe- nezer Scrooge. We are charmed and delighted to finger by the cheerful and happy fireside with Bob Crat chltt and his winsome family, but We hold our breath in suspense as the ghosts lead Scrooge back over the days of his childhood and youth. and remonstrate with him as he looks in on the happy families whom he has denounced as fools and humbugs. We shiver in the pale moonlight wh an the ghost of Christmas Yet to Come leads him into the churchyard and shows him his name on the tomb stone above a neglected grave. Our contempt for the surly old sinner is replaced by great compassion as we hear him on pended knees crying Good Spirit, hear me. am not the man that I was. I will not be the man that I must have been but for this intercourse Your nature mercedes for me and pities me. Assure me that l may yet change these shadows shown me, by an al- t&ed life
 "In Methodist parlance Dickens takes the hardened sinner to his tombstone that he may get him down low at the mourner's bench. And when Scrooge comes through 1t Is with genuine old Methodist shout: I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year will live in the past, the present and the future. The spirits of all three shall strive in me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach

Tuscaloosa, April 2S-( Especially The v>st auditorium of Smith hall at the University of Alabama was the scene of much interest Thursday aft erroon when the Alabama Federation of Women were invited to inspect the art exhibit arranged under the su- pervision of Mrs. Washington Moody of the Up-to-Date club.
 Priceless possessions of numerous old Tuscaloosa and University fam flies were on display there including elics of several wars, ancient In dian pottery, marvellous clothing worn by belles of long ago. books and papers, laces and many other ar ticles that money could not buy from those to whom they belong.
 All day long police patrolled the hall. keeping a watchful guard over these valuables, and particularly over a large glass case in which were dis played 16 medals awarded to Gen. William C. Gorgas. On second shelf in the same case was beautiful lit tie baby dress made of sheer, soft white material and trimmed with many tiny ruffles of baby lace" at the yoke. sleeves and bottom. This was General Gorgas' christening robe. made by his mother, and a dainty pair of Indian moccasins made for General Gorgas when child at Mount Vernon by a native Indian. The moccasirs were beaded and quite small. as though made when he was quite young.
 Gorgas Bible
 Still another Gorgas family display was a dog-eare family Bible, writ ten in the Dutch language. the prop erty of John Gorgas and his wife, Psyche Rfttenhouse Gorgas,' great great grandparents of Gen. William c. Gorgas. And not to be overlooked was a beautiful sewing set of gold in an ivory case, with which General Gorgas' baby clothes were made by his mother. These articles were all lowed to be used for the exhibition a- cf a a

who did so much for the eradication of tropical diseases.
 Another local display was a unique five-piece set of jewelry, the settings os which were carved out of peach stones with a penknife by pr, Flu gene A. Smith. state geologist, for Miss Jennie Garland, who afterward became Mrs. Eugene A. Smith. The settings are of gold and the stones have the appearance of intricately carved canoes.
 Beautiful Miniature s
 A beautiful miniature of Annie Hughes, made in l756, the property of Mrs. Charles E. Morris, was seen. and in the same case was a miniature of Dr.s Cinci Ashe. great uncle of Mrs. Thomas C. McCorvey, in whose honor Asheville. N. C.. was named. He lived here for many years.
 Prominent in the costumes depart ment was wedding dress worn by Mrs Robert Jemison. grandmother of Mrs. A. $. NandeGraaff.
 A feature which none who saw it will ever forget and which will prob ably never be seen again in the south was that of Aunt Jane Tutweiler," a real old southern nanny" once a slave belonging to the Tutwiler family, seated at a spinning wheel, carding, weaving and spinning as in days gone by. Aunt Jane" is well known and loved by all the old gen. tiIity of Tuscaloosa. She and Uncle LeGrand" have borne 14 children and educated them. They once "belonged' to Oliver Henry Tutwiler, father of Miss Julia Tutwi1er and Mrs. T, C. Mc('orveV "Aunt Jane" was glad to show the white folks" how to spin and weave. and it was hard to get the Federation of Women to believe that it was a picture of real life of the sixties that they were viewing, or to get them to pass on to other entertaining scenes.
 Other exhibits of sculpture, pictures and pottery came from different for eign cities and the entire display ex- ceeded anything of this kind ever shown in Tuscaloosa.
