PRESBYTER|ANS . OPTIMISTIC OVER CAMPAIGN RESULT
, Quota of s55o,ooo for This Synod to Be Raised in
 Full for Church Education

"Blue Hue" dinner last night to the Presbyterian ministers, church officers, Sunday school superintend- ents and their wives at the Southern ! club was anything but that color lan sentiment and enthusiasm for the cause of Christian education. Blue, which Is the Presbyterian color ran down the tables where several hund- tred. representing practically every Presbyterian church in Birmingham, assembled but at the close of the meeting when Dr. Dobyns asked all who favored the movement to rise the entire assembly rose and sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds"
 It was in some ways an unusual gathering. Called for the purpose of hearing the matter discussed and an explanation of the quota of $550,000 for this synod for educational pur- poses the dinner at once became in- formal and the remarks of Dr. Dohyns and the two speakers were listened to with closest attention.
 Dr. Dobyns presided and introduced Dr. Ogden, pastor of the Govern ment Street Presbyterian church of Mobile. Dr. Ogden said the people of Mobile watched always the prog ress of Birmingham and took pride in the growth of the metropolis of the state. In the opening of the campaign here he asked that if op- posed to the method those should TSt Block the entire movement sim ply because it does not meet with their approval and If you can't step on the gas do not put your foot on the brake" He reviewed brifly the educational opportunities offered the Preshyterians of Alabama.
 It was our duty, he said. to main tain our orphanage, to help develop the school al Anniston so that 1t would become a university prepara- tory scf col. which Is it's new name; to Support the seminary at Columbia and help build that college at Mem- phis. That city had given very large sum to secure college which would be m institution of which every Presby- terian would be proud. In planning this great educational work. in which the synods of Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennesse were also Interested, there was no conflict with state i'm stitutions There was room, for both, it was pointed out, but there was need for a college of this type for trained Christian leaders.
 Rev. S. W. McGlll, field secretary of the Presbyterian committee on Chris- tian education, told those present that the Presbyterian church Is mak- ing history. If the campaign failed in Birmingham, he said. 1t would not be the failure of the church but the failure Of Presbyterians of Birming- ham.
 'sThls is your campaign" said MT. McGill. If you wish 1t to go on tell us. If you wish us to stop we will istop." He told of the work in Mo- bile under Dr. ogden and how other towns in Alabama had supported the cause. Over In Montgomery a mes sage was received by him stating Ihat on the second day the total amount reported so far was over s11.- GOO on a goal of $50 900.

BALES IS FIRM IN FAITH WITH PEOPLE.
Says Original Representations Made Patrons Will Be
 HOnored

An error has been made in the ticket sale for the American Legion show. "The Microbe of Love-" which will be presented at the Jefferson theatre Tuesday night. May g. George Lewis Bailes, post commander, ex- plained last night.
 It was the original plan to make the general admission tickets for the legion show good for any reservation on the first floor or balcony straight through. That plan holds good. Res- ervations are to be made at the Jeff ferson box office by simply present. ing the general admission ticket. The Cnly exception to this rule is the first four rows of the orchestra and the box seats. The first four rows were reserved by the 40 and S.'' They are an organization within the ls- zion; they want to do stunt" and will have to pay accordingly.
 MT. Bailes explained that by an un- fortunate error, due to the size and consequent unwieldiness of the com mittee interested in the ticket sale, instructions were left with the theatre management to charge extra for reservations anywhere in the orchestra This was an error. All those who had made their reserva- lions before the mistake was dis covered will be refunded the amount of the extra charge by presenting their seat coupons at the office of the post commander at S07 and sos Title Guarantee building.
 The post commander regretted the mistake keenly. But the commit tee on ticket sales have worked too Saithfully and unselfishly to have any word of censure," he said last night. Tt was a serious error. ad- mittedly. but the legion's good friend, Brown Parks, and I headed 1t off last night. and when the refunds are made everything will be as we would have had it." MT.

The derivation was accompanied by the following comment: Tt ex- presses more fully than Websters $ dictionary the definition of the word Realtor' and it must have originated by an authoritive source.'
 This was the question and answer;
 Q.-"What Is the derivation of the coined word term Realtor' as copy righted by a sect of real estate oper- ators over the United States?"

 Hunter Armstrong then came to the bat and submitted that in the eight or more issues of bonds al ready floated by the city within the last several years, the bonded ln- debtedness would by this proposed issue be increased to STATEHOOD, and aside from that, none knew what time the present commission would effect the issue of $2,500.0O0 of school bonds authorized during the last administration but never is sued.

 Urging that new sanitary sewer age was as great q need in Bir- mingham now as anything else, MT.
