UniUersity Glee Club Will Glue Concert
 In May

Nothing cements the older mans college enthusiasm and affection bet ter than to mingle with the under graduates from his alma mater. Therefore the college Glee club plays an important part In reviving old memories and making old men young again. College songs have never fading charm and the old Alabama men in Birmingham will be glad to hear some of the old songs and a number of new ones as sung by the University Glee Club of 1921-22 at its concert at the Tutwiler on the evening of May 5, the concert being followed by the usual dance. The Alabama boys have the reputation of giving an excellent progrf in, bright and clever, full of spice and variety. It makes no pretentions to being a classical music organization but it does maintain that 1t can sing A lot of college songs in manner to make one wish to be a college boy again. Therefore the annual coming of the Glee club should be a huge success, regarded as a reunion of university men of whom Birmingham possesses such . large and prominent number.

The program was one of the most attractive ever arranged by Director Garner in the 17 years since he organized and directed the first Alabama Glee club. The boys them selves easily measure up to the high

Martha's Dream

Once upon a time there was an
old woman, and she had daugh-
ter. Her daughters name was
Martha.
One day Martha's mother told
her she was going to the woods,
and she told Martha to stay at
home and not to let any body in.
Martha said she would obey, so
her mother kissed her goodbye and
started out for the woods. While
she was gone Martha did all the
work and when she was through
she was very tired, so she lay down
and fell asleep. While she was
sleeping she dreamed she fell into
a lake and the wind drew her far
from shore. She screamed and no
body answered She was drowning
and nobody was there to help her.
And just then, her mother woke
her. She told her mother about the
dream and said, Mother, my! I'm
glad that wasn't true" Theresa

winter; you would never pity the
early settlers again simply on the
score of their houses. They were,
perhaps, a trifle too dark in the
day time, since the logs could not
be cut through too often for Win
dow space; but they were very
warm. The settlers, to be sure,
built frame houses as soon as pos
sible, both because they could be
made more roomy and because
they liked to build "for good" A

and frightened the wolves to safe
distances for some time. After the
burning, il 1t was in season, they
Immediately sowed wheat, bought
at the nearest settlement, and pa
tiently hoed it in. The land was too
rough for the use of pillow and har-
row, there fore as fast as the wheat
was scattered the ground was mel
lowed and the seed covered by
means of hand hoe. 1t sprung up
quickly, and produced an abundant
crop.
After the wheat was sown, they
built substantial log cabins on their
farms in the midst of the clearing.
Didn't they leave a single tree to
shade their houses?" someone won
ders. No; they were too wise to
do that. The first blast Of wind
might have blown them over and
perhaps crushed their little cabins.
Forest trees do not send out their
roots widely and bracingly, like
those which grow in open land, and
The cabins completed, the clearings
were left in the care of one man,
while the rest went back to the
homo State for their families. 1t
was not safe to leave wheat fields
unmatched; and with all the care,
very likely the bears got half OF
the crops.
The food for the family during
the first year was principally wild
game and wheat. The pigs and
sheep and calves which they had
laboriously driven from the old
home were altogether too precious
to be killed until they were sure of
others. They often boiled their
wheat, and corn, too, after they bo-
gan to raise it, whole, or else they
cracked 1t in mortar; for the grist
mill might be twenty or thirty
miles away, and of course, they
went to it as seldom as possible.
But Mr.. Whitney brought his
family to an improved farm; that
is small clearing had been made
upon it few years before, and an
unfinished frame house built, also
a log stable, think, around witch
had been stacked the wild hay cut
in the clearing, o. how they shiv

kept his hammers and saws flying,

is said, pride will keep one warm,

Most fellows never like to own
up that they're afraid, even though
when they're saying "Tm not
scared" their teeth are chattering.
Last night when we were sitting
around the campfire, Jim started
telling scary ghost story. 1t was
sort of gloomy in the woods any
way; felt like it was going to storm
any minute.
We were glad there were seven
of us together-or nine, because
there was John Clark, the older
fellow we took with us, and a chum
of his, who had just come out to
spend few days.
"It's funny" John spoke up when
Jim was through, "the way boys
like to scare themselves, isn't
It? Bet none Of you would like to
go after water about now" No
body said anything, and John
laughed.
When Fear creeps In
"There's something about being
In the woods that makes people
easily scared anyway" said Johns
chum, Dick Morris. little things

lily panic-stricken by being lost.
They lose all control of themselves,

and figure things out quietly they'd
find they didn't have 80 much to
worry about, after all.

Modern Story of Tortoise and Hare

If light and sound were running
race, such as the hare and the
tortoise once did in the old days of
fable, light would go rushing along
at the rate of about one hundred
and eighty-six thousand, six humid
red miles a second, while sound
would go crawling after at the rate
of one thousand and ninety-one
feet a second. In other words,
light would have speeded about
seventy-two times around the earth
while sound was slowly and labor
