DISABLED VETS
 ORGANIZE CHAPTER
CreeIman Speaks at Three Meetings Yesterday and
 Tells of Plans

Raymond A. Creelman. national staff representative of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war addressed three meetings of the local disabled men late yesterday after noon, at the Massey Business college. Jefferson Dental Mechanics school and the Wheeler Business college. A local chapter of the organization was later formed with Frank E. Smith, Charles Hines. H. C. Lachey. D. V. James and Birge Horton as tenn porary officers.
 In his address Creelman spoke of the work being carried on by the organization in the interest of dis abled men. The organization was formed two years ago by Judge Robert S. Marx, of superior court, Cincinnati, and a group of wounded men who felt the tremendous need of an organization which would have only the interest of the disabled men.
 From that little group an organi- zation composed of 100000 wounded, and disabled veterans as members, has spread throughout the land in the great cities and small villages. united in common suffering to meet the common problems which face
 
 them in the nation today, such as compensation, vocational training, hospitalization. medical treatment. rehabilitation and employment.
 The supreme endeavor of the or ganization Is to inspire in their mem- bers determination to come back and take their places in the nation as self-supporting and independent citi- zens. Although wounded or disabled, their spirit is unbroken and faith in God and country unshaken.
 Word was received yesterday that the United States Veterans bureau would grant the disabled men taking vocational training leave to attend the second national convention of the Disabled American Veterans of the World war to be held June Is at San FranciSto. Twenty thousand dis abled men are expected to attend the convention. coming from all parts of the United States. the Philippines, Alaska and Hawaii.

Fly DOLLY DALRYMPLE


 Here's girl whose business career just love.
 She's young and pretty and sweet and gentle-and she's just the type to make friends as well as make good" any where.
 Pretty Miss Annie Evans-who sits in ''The Gilded Cage" at the Grand theatre and ticks off the little tickets that come by the yard and hands them out to the hundreds of people who daily frequent this popu- lar place of amusement, Is as modest as she Is pretty and as lady like as she is clever-and she will tell you that she just adores her job"
 always like girl who talks about her work as her "job.v There's something so nice and "chummy" like about her, and there's a sort of "she's-easy- to -get-next-to" feeling when you go aforaging about for a story and-well-she's Just regular girl" through and through, and you can't help liking her.
 Miss Annie Evans Is just this sort of girl-sincere, frank and alto gether nice.
 And after all It's sincerity in any
 
 and sincere person who is accom- plishing something Is always a good story especially when she steps out of traditional class niches to accom- plish it.
 From High School to Business
 Stepping out of the Jefferson Coun- ty High school, pretty Miss Annie Evans stepped right into the business world just little over year ago but here I go telling the story when it's her story and her affair-but then l always would talk too much and not listen" like I should, but this time I'm going to reverse and stay quiet and let the heroine of my story do the rest.
 l m not q Birmingham girl but a product of Bibb county but I camo to Birmingham when l was-s young that 1 feel like this Is really my home" said pretty Miss Evans yes- terday. T haven't any thing start ling to tell about myself-exeept that l just wanted to have business ca reer and I believe if you want any thing hard enough and look enough. that you will eventually get 1t.
 'So during my vacation I went to work at Caheen's as salesgiri and worked there just three months under the most pleasant auspices when I heard of the Box Office job at the Strand.
 It appealed to me because I like people so much and I said omyseIf;
 That's place where hundreds of people so much and l said to myself; can study human nature and learn the things that 1 really want to know. so l am going to see if l can get the job
 If you know MT. Lloyd Townes. the manager of the Strand, as we'll as | do. you know that he is just the aicest man In the world about every thing-easy to approach about a

the engaged couple, the girl faltering modestly by the side of her sweet heart, while he fumbles in his pocket for the change to buy the tickets, and then they proceed on their way; then comes the big burly old sport, who wants an hours respite from his work, and the dignified banker, and then the kiddies. Oh! it's great fun, more like vacation, my work Is, than work.
 "What's that? The money? Oh! it's all there for inspection after the days work is done, and there's not a chance for me to skip with 1t even if I wanted to. You see I am hedged in by gilt and glass, and there Is no way of ape-that's certain. l haven't half the chance that the bank cashier has!
 q go to work at 10 o'clock In the morning and quit at 10:30 in the evening Scarcely anybody ever drops in at a picture after that time be- cause the picture is on it's last run, but occasionally somebody comes as late as 10:30."
 I asked pretty little Miss Annie Evans if she would ever go back to salesmanship or "salesmanism," as Edna Ferber of Emma McChesney'' fame calls 1t, and which l like much better, and she quickly answered:
 "Never the human kaleidoscope which I enjoy outside the moving picture playhouse Is too diverting and too interesting for me to ever get back to selling faces and ribbons and things like that. And besides, there Is wonderful chance ahead of me, for one of these days the Strand man agement will build gorgeous, luxu- rious milllon-dollar theatre here, and just sit and dream of that wonder full box office which will be my home when that happens"

PICNlCKERS INVITED
West Lake Provides Ideal Picnic
 Grounds for Private Parties

When the time comes to decide where the picnic shall be, there is no better decision than to go to West Lake, where the management has provided every convenience and invite picnic crowds to hold their outings No place offers better facilities for amusement during the day with swimming, boating and bowling. and at night when the picknickers remain over there is the regular nightly dance held on the pavilion.
 The usual dance will be held at the park tonight with music by the Rob- crtson-Hood orchestra, which the mana cement of the park has engaged for the first several weeks The regular patrons of these dances know that there are few pavilions In the south to equal the smooth, large floor of the West Lake dancing pavil- ion, with it's beautiful surroundings.

Will Open Door to Bunker and Export Business For Warrior River Coal
 Fields
By OSCAR M. DUGGER. JR.

Due to the unprecedented thrift and economy not only of the cotton and other farmers, but of business men in all fields. we have passed through SO per cent of the deflation period. and with the worst behind should gradually come back to nor nal conditions in the south," was the optimistic statement of R. " Covington of Jacksonville, Fla, for mer president of the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods association, who arrived In Birmingham yester- day afternoon to attend the elev- enth annual convention of the asso- citation which convenes at the Tut wiler hotel this morning.
 MT. Covington is now president of the Covington Wholesale Dry Goods company, one of the largest concerns of it's kind in the state. and 1t was readily evident from the beginning of an interview with the visiting delegate that he had made a careful and very accurate study of business conditions in the south, both generally and specifically speaking.
 .Business Conditions in Florida have been better than in any other southern state due to the diversity of products and because We have little cotton area In the Gator state," said the visitor, who attrib- uted 1t further to the exceptional prices esucered by the citrous fruit growers in Florida this season be- cause of the freeze in California. In a more general way. 1t was pointed out that a great flow of money had come into the state as result of new developments, such as citrous fruit development, opening up of new farm tracts, increase in truck ing throughout various sections of the state, and the intense Increase of stock raising.
 Because of the undoubted in- crease in the price of cotton coupled with the comparatively low cost or production due to the thrift or the farmers throughout the southeastern sections of the country, 1t was pointed out that general business conditions were noticeably growing better, and after the season arrives the change for the better will be more and more noticeable~
 And the more economy we exer- cise in all our business and other affairs. the quicker we will arrive at A normal and prosperous era' asserted MT. Covington, who con cluded with the happy yet since remark. that I would rather live In Birmingham than any other place I know excepting my present home' Jacksonville"
