 It's Your Day
 Your tag bought today should be a very merry thing to you: and one that you're proud of. It should re- mind you Of days of your own kid hood-and what a pretty fashion 1t would be if everybody would go about telling funny yarns about themselves when they were boys and girls. Don't feel that by buying a tag you have done your duty, if you can afford more. Reach for your check book, remember that you are helping boys who should have every chance to grow into fine young men, and make the figures as large as possible.

 Col. R. H. Mccallum. who has this matter in charge has appealed to more than 30 leading civic and com mercial bodies of the city through letters to contribute to the expense of carrying the band to Richmond and has secured the permission of D.

This lot will cost S10,000, but real estate men say the price is cheap since the lot faces the big park near the Terminal station where the boys may develop physical strength, and be able to play to their hearts con- tent.
 What Club Does
 The Boys club takes care of the type of boyhood such as the Saliva tion Army looks after among adults It cares for those youngsterss who naturally would gravitate to the streets and alleys. From this class come the great majority of court cases and truants from school, If such boys are neglected, they may grow up into hoodlums and gang sters, if not criminals.
 In the club. the boys are made to feel that they will always find a welcome. The organization Is known as the one which will take a chance" on any boy, and it will give him a chance"
 All sorts of educative and instruc- tive work is placed before the mem bers at the club and physical exam nations are conducted so that de- fleets may be corrected.
 Such dear little underprivileg chaps they are at the Boys club! You have missed most joyous ex- perience if you have not gone up there to pat tousled heads and let

 END CONVENTION
 AT CHATTANOOGA
Whitaker Succeeds Mix as Secretary Andrews Ac- cepts GaveI From the Re-
 tiring President
By Associated Press

Chattanooga. June s.--At the con cluding session of the annual con- vention of International Civitan clubs here this afternoon, Major Phil B.. Whitaker of Chattanooga, World war veteran and former field organ izer, was elected secretary to sue ceed John V. Mix of Birmingham. who has served throughout the life of the association.
 o. B. Andrews, the new president, in accepting the gavel from retiring Birmingham. pledged his very best efforts to the organization the com ing year.
 One of the interesting developments of the concluding session was the announcement that individual mem- bers had pledged sufficient funds to pay debts of the Civitan organization and furnish 1t a working capital.
 The warmest depate of the conven- tion occurred today over the proposed changes in constitution. hinging around an effort to give larger clubs representation according to nurneri- cal strength. This was voted down after strenuous opposition on the floor. The only change in represen- tation was the admission of delegates from state and district associations.
 Efforts to trim the authority of the board of trustees was success fully combatted, those favoring con centration of power winning every skirmish.
 resolution was passed inhihiting dual membership or members of Civitan clubs, none being allowed to join another interna tional civic club of like character and no member of an international civic club being also permitted to join Civitan.
 Washington was selected as, the next convention ty and the dele gates began leaving for home tonight following social entertainment at Signal mountain.

''CHOW HOUSE" IS
 DISCONTINUED
Has Served It's Purpose. Equipment Donated to the
 ChiIdren'S Camp
The American

The American Legion -Chow House" Is no morel
 Birmingham Post No. 1. American Legion, has decided that the necessity for the "Chow House no longer exists and has discontinued its opera. tion.
 The fact that the children's camp was n need of equipment, particu- lariy cots and bedding, was brought to the attention of the legion mem bers and it was decided to donate the Chow House" equipment to the camp, The children's camp received 30 steel cots, mattresses. linen and blankets to go with them.
 The increase in men employed in the Birmingham district and warm weather are the reasons for discon- tinuing the Chow House."
 It is the belief of all who were interested in the work of this insti- tuition that it served It's purpose fully. From December 10, 1921. to June 5. 1922. the legion served 20, 900 meals; 5000 lodgings; and found jobs for more than 2,oo0 men, either perma- nent or temporary.
 The members of Birmingham Post No. l wish to thank every individual and every firm who helped make the ''Chow House" success. They wish especially to thank the newspapers of Birmingham for their assistance. The fact that many persons sub seribed the chow house fund without making their identity known makes a list of donors fmpracticable. The Birmingham spirit however was in evidence and the proposition was necessarily a success.
 The employment bureau of the le- zion is still in operation. There are still a great many ex-serVice men who are in need of work and there are others who need the opportunity to prove their real worth in the lines for which they are best fitted.
