 There is no form of amusement that has ever approached the place that grand opera holds in the hearts of music lovers. That this applies to the city of Birmingham has been proven beyond a shadow of a possible doubt by the crow ds that have flocked to the Jefferson for seats for the Mon day and Tuesday offerings of the Scotti Grand Opera company. In spite of the rain on Friday, there was a long line awaiting the opening of the box office, but the management of the theatre reports that there are still good seats to be had.
 The coming of the Scotti company with its cast of 150 of the personnel of the Metropolitan Opera house has excited interest throughout the state and even as far as the eastern sec- tion of Mississippi. It is anticipated that the local social set will turn out en masse, and from indications at the box office Friday morning, the

''DO YOU WANT A BITE?"
Copyright. 1922. by Edgar A. Guest.

Two children standing on the street.
One with an apple good to eat,
One with hungry, wistful eye
Watching the red-cheeked northern spy
The old, old scene, by childhood played
Since first the word>for men was made,
Capped by that phrase of rare delight:
"Do you want bite?"
What is this picture all about?
One with JOY and one without,
One with luxury, proud and glad,
And one hungry little lad
Made hungrier by seeing there
The luscious fruit he longs to share
And then the invitation bright:
"Do you want bite?"
/ stood and watched them and l smiled.
Here is a lesson from child
Thought /, and here is now portrayed
The way that friendship can be made;
The boy who owns the apple fair
Its juicy charm is glad to share,
And says, as many a grown-up might:
'Do you want bite?"
Go to the children, wrinkled sage,
Learn from the youngsters, gray with age
Seldom does envy mar their play
Or bitter hatred spoil the day,
True friends are made, instead of foes,
AS mouth to mouth the apple goes
This phrase full many a wrong can right:
"Do you want a bite?"

 Female members of the High school chapter of Shifters bemoan the fact that some of the boys are not living up to the rules and regulations of the orga anization. They claim that the young gentlemen are lodging the initiation fee, which in High school circles, generally consists of box of candy The accused males. defend themselves by saying that they are living up to the Shifters' motto, Get Something for Nothing"
