By MIGNON HALL
 My, how fine for some little fel- lows who are frail and delicate and undernourished! For officially the Fresh Air Diddie Ramp Is open and starting off at full blast this week.
 Saturday was the first day. and 25 little youngsters are going to strive like everything the next three weeks to win their proper weight great many of them have had their tonsiis and adenoids removed, and are go- ing to eat just like their nutrition nurse. Miss Hariett bowman, tells them to. They will take their proper rest on little cots furnished through the generosity of Birmingham peo- pie, and their recreation will be supervised.
 It was hoped thatS< the Riddle Ramp could be run all the summer, but unless generous donations are forthcoming, many little children will lose the benefit of it. the reason be- ing that there are not sufficient funds at the disposal of the Anti Tuberculosis association to keep it going.
 That is why such urgent appeals have been sent out, and are being sent out, for donations.
 EdgewOod fin to Help
 In on the mail yesterday came a check for $2.50 from the Ladies' auxiliary of the Edgewood Commun- ity church. Isn't that fine and thoughtful. This will count big In a days expenditure for those little ones.'
 This was sent through Mrs. Q. k. Murphy, treasurer, and will be used to buy green vegetables and milk that the little folks must have.
 If you were a rich man or a woman and could go out just one time and see how much good you could do in building up wasted chill dren's bodies by giving few hun dred or few thousand dollars, you would be hardly human not to do it. Investment in the Riddle Ramp means actual investment in future citizens.
 This first camp will be made up of girls between the ages of 10 and IA years. and you are invited to go out any time you wish to see the work. The camp is being put on at the Shades-Cahaba High school.
 What a surprise Miss Bertha Glenn ent, chief nurse of the AntiTuber- eulosis association, and Miss Low man had when they motored out to East Lake a few days ago to receive food shower for the camp from tho

Hing Daughters class Of the East Lake Methodist church.
 Lovely Party
 Miss Clement was enthusiastic over an unexpected reception they met.
 We were astonished when We ar rived to find the room filled with girls. A big punch bowl was set in the middle of the room-the party being given at the home of Mrs. E. G. Burchfiel. teacher. We knew the class was to be there. but not with a magnificent program. But there were recitations by several young ladies. and beautiful music.
 Games were played. Then Miss bowman and Miss Clement were called upon to tell of the Riddle Ramp work, after which refresh ments were served.
 As a grand finale to the delight full party. in came a little youngster blacked up as a delivery boy, pull ing after him fine large delivery wagon loaded with groceries. He sung out at tho top of his voice:
 "Heah's the groceries you all done ordered for Miss Clement to give to the Riddle Ramp"
 After which the Kings Daughters unloaded the wagon and in their arms carried the groceries out to Miss Clements car.
 Just think of It." said the chief nurse, they have given us enough stuff to last about a week, and such diversity of things! The way every thing was arranged told more plain ly than words with what great thoughtfulness and care those gro eeries had been purchased There was no overlapping of effort. One of the finest things in the whole shower. I thought, was a delicious gallon of homemade molasses.
 Best Ever
 'In all my life I don't think l ever attended more attractive. charming party. It really did our souls good. ."
 Miss Kate Forstman is president of the class which gave the shower.
 Other organizations have also promised to help, among them being the Philathea class of the Southside Baptist church and the Lucy Strat- ton class of the same church. Both will be responsible for worth wniie fcod showers.
 If you will give money or food donations to the camp, won't you call Main 4900 and leave word what you will do, or mail checks to Age Herald Fresh Air Fund? Your bit may mean very great deal in the scheme of things here, and hereafter. The wofl: needs to be done. Will you assist

 "The Baptist people are the ones in need of eduation the most. because they have such wonderful opportuni- ties for service before them. There is >A need for 10000 college trained men and women in the world today to carry the Baptist gospel 10 all parts of the world.'
 Dr. Diliard urged that Baptist pa- rents send their children to Baptist colleges and universities and sup port Christian institutes of learning. He pointed out that the Baptist schools did more than fit men for a successful business life-that they gave wider and broader spiritual scope to the students and taught them how to really live.

 of Age

Another Jefferson county pioneer industrial developer and gentleman of the old school" passed out Sat- urday afternoon when Louis Kossuth Moss breathed his last.
 native of Clay county, Ind, he came to this district In 1889. Ills first interest in the industrial life of Alabama was in the lumber bus mess in the northern part of she state, but he had operated in one coal vein of this district for 50 years. He established the Warrior Black Creek Coal company and the Mable Mining company. first opening mine north of Blount Springs. His family homestead was at Warrior, where his remains were taken yes terday and inferred Tn the old burial ground beside his wife. who pre- ceded him more than 20 years ago. Mrs. Moss was Miss Minerva Mont gomery of Blountsville. Surviving relatives are: c. l.. Moss, his only son; Mrs. G. D. Etter of Warrior Mrs. II. P. Thornton of Morris and Mrs. A. E. Davitt of Birmingham.
 MT. Moss was Il years of age and had been active in business until a paralytic stroke caused him to retire about three years ago. Not until March of this year did he give up hope of recovery He was interested in progress, however, as long as he lived and was type of manhood who not only believed in The Golden Rule," but practiced it. He was a pioneer and active worker for prohi- bition. He was fearless In advocacy of a principle and progressive In thought to a marked degree. He was g member of the Methodist church. His sense of justice and his charm ing manner made him friend and companion worth while.
 Coming from a family of fighters, his father, Charles Wesley Moss, having been Major in the United States army in the Civil war, he was always ready to stand for principle, but he was as gentle and kind as a child.
 He will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends throughout the county and by his family. who were devoted to him.
 The pallbearers were: D. H. Brown, c. J. Perry, Borden Burr, Charles F. wheelock, George Johnson and Dr. J. X. Ward. Services were con ducted by Dr. ". R. Hendrix, pastor of the Highlands Methodist church.
