Institution With Enrolment of $50 Began CO-Ed System Nine Years Ago Senior Class Larger

After inauguration of co-education at Howard college nine years ago the enrolment of women students for the present year is approximately one- third of a student body of $50, and co-eds have made for themselves a place in student activities of the To- cal college which was for S3 years exclusively a mems school, recent tabulations on the part of the college administration have shown. Of se- nior class somewhat larger than in former years, practically 40 per cent are women and the president of the class is Eunice Sloan, a coed, and the first of her sex to be honored in this way by the senior class.
 With the advent during the past week of the Lambda xxi Delta soror- ity co-eds now have four secret or ganizations, of which one is affiliated with national sorority and the others local. To the ranks of the Franklin and Philomathic Literary societies, the latter the oldest organi- zation of this purpose in an Alabama college, is now added the Shelburne, the coed society. The Y. ". c. A. has also won a place on the campus and much interest was taken by the student body in the election of off cers in this organization during the past week. Willie Kirl of the sopho- more class was chosen to act as pres ident of "Y' for the ensuing year. The Y w. c. A. has joined hands with the Y. M c. A. toward the results which each of these clubs hope to att tain.
 For several years It has been the custom of the students to elect girl as secretary of the student body in the general spring elections and this year Ethel Clark and Loyce Hendrix are the only candidates for the office, Miss Virginia Carswell is elected editor in chief of the College Annual for the coming year without opposi- ton and Miss Mildred Smith is now a candidate for the office of editor in chief of the weekly college paper
 Howard adopted the co-educational policy largely to allow Birmingham girls an opportunity to attend college without leaving their homes, but a dormitory capable of housing 20 women has been maintained by the college during the present sessions and will be continued on a slightly larger scale.

FUGITIVE IDENTITY
 D|SCLOSEDBY NAVY
Finger Prints Impressed at Time of Enlistment Give
 Additional Information

With receipt yesterday of informa- learned that the real name of Claude Wilson, one of the three alleged yeggmen who shot Officer S. S, Crab tree last Thursday morning. is Will a former 'gob" in the American navy.
 Faison, alias Wilson, is in the Hill man hospital. where he was taken following the gun battle Thursday afternoon between the police and the three fugitiyes in which he was struck by a rifle bullet. His eondi- ton last night was said to be worse.
 Identification of Wilson furnishes another thread of evidence that the escaped man is none other than Thomas B. Gibbons, fugitive from Roanoke. Va. where he was con- victed of bank robbery and sentenced to 35 years in the penitentiary The connecting link is the fact that Gib- bons home town Is also Ettricks, Va. village of 300 population.
 The assumption of the police IS that 1t would have been easy for the two to renew their companionship following escape. Wilson stated yes- terday at the hospital that he did not know Gibbons and that he only know the man who escaped as Frank"
 The identity of the escaped man is also thought to be Gibbons on the grounds that he and Charles Wilkes who was captured and placed In jail following the battle near the fair grounds, were convicted of the same bank robbery and escaped at the same time. Wilkes is in the county jail charged with assault with in tent to murder. He denies com plicity in the shooting of Officer Crabtree but admits he escaped from the Roanoke jail.
 The telegram received yesterday by ". L. Brandon. chief of the bureau of Identification, did not give any of Faison's record other than his name and address. MT. Brannon has sent his photograph and finger prints 10 Fort Leavenworth and Washington and if Faison has any police record he expects to receive a copy of it in the next few days.
 Officer Crabtree was reported still better at the Ensley Infirmary last night. He rested well during the day, it is said, was cheerful and physicians entertain high hope of recovery.

 Women Give Service
 There was great applause when Prof W. T. Snoddy principal, stressed the fact of how much substantial service is being given by the women fer the North Birmingham young sters.

 At Annex
 The program was held In the new annex to the Twenty first Avenue church. and furnished the occasion not only for the teachers, fathers and mothers to know Dr. Glenn, but gave all the school members and the com .1rnity builders a chance to get to- gether and discuss topics of many kinds, As a grand finale, there was the social hour. Everybody raved over the punch, 1t is declared, which was delicious with fresh strawberries and fresh pineapple.

IMPETUS GIVEN BY
 STATE DOCTORS ID
 G0RGAS MEMORIAL
Campaign to Be Vigorously Prosecuted Until Quota Is ReaChed-0Wen Goes
 to Washington

Those in charge of the Gorgas memorial campaign are deeply im- pressed with the wonderful impetus given to the undertaking by the resolution passed at the annual meet ing of the Alabama Medical associa- tion, held last week in Birmingham, when every doctor in the state was invited to pledge himself to secure $200 in donations to the cause within the next two years.
 That the resolution struck pops- lar chord was evidenced by the fact that a local doctor came to the head quarters the day after the resolution was passed and turned in over $500 in subscriptions. He said he wanted to get it off his mind. and it had taken him only about two hours to secure this. amount from a few friends, and he was satisfied that the other doctors could do as well or better if they would only get to work now and capitalize the wonderful at tention compelling publicity given the campaign through the patriotic generosity of the Birmingham news papers.
 Working for the Cause The members of the State Dental association are all working hard for the cause, and Dr. c. B. Fowlkes of this city. chairman of the committee appointed by the Southern Academy of Periodontology, Is unsparing in his labors to bring to an early suc- cessful completion the efforts of the state dentists on behalf of the School of Dental Hygiene, which Is to be a parc of the School of Sanitation at Tuscaloosa.
 The campaign at Birmingham and throughout the state, under the able direction of State Chairman Robert Jenlison and the chairman of the city committee, Dr. Scale Harris. is to be vigorously prosecuted and carried on until the full quota of s750,o00 for the state of Alabama is secured.
 The campaign headquarters of the Gorgas Memorial will be moved to- day to Suite S04, Empire building.
