Bored By Society;
Strange Character PORTRAYED

The society recluse has been pie
tured many times; but not as irsf'The
Man Who Married" the photoplay
starring Frank Mayo at the Colonial
Theatre today.
The man who finds all society
bore, and society matrons the bane of
without love in his life, without any
redeeming features to his existence.
But suppose he has a beautiful wife
whom he dearly loves, suppose he
has every incentive to be normally
gay and happy? What if a hideous,
SCARED face about which he is sensi-
tive takes all the pleasure out Of
coming in contact with other human
beings? If the gregarious instinct of
the human Is thwarted by such limi-
tation, the figure Of the man is a new
one to the screen and worthy of con-
sideration beyond the average.-Adv.

 Continuation of Work
 The work to be done is a continu- ation of the rnilk-drinking campaign and health education which has been going on In the schools all the year. The Shades-Cahaba School Improve ment members plan to lend assistance asked, said Mrs. Keller. president.
 Miss Bertha Clement. chief nurse for the association, said yesterday that in this Riddle Ramp for under weight children, the little folks would be given their certificates of graduation when they come up to their proper weights. When they have attained this. then they can be sure that their bodies are strong enough to resist most any disease that might be drifting about, the most deadly of which is tuberculosis.
 The children going out will be re- quired to take certain hours of rest, and they will have their tonsils re- moved, if necessary, so that the Riddle Ramp work will have every chance to make them fiat and sassy"
 Miss Clements said:
 I've know that this Is the right system for building up frail and under -nourished children-and the fresh air camp will demonstrate to the public that our system is efficient

and calculated to get results. We will have much better chance to bring these children up to normal weight now that they are not in school.
 Those Who Need Rest
 We want to take to the camp all children who need rest ana country outing. At Shades Cahaba, which is in Shades valley, we will have plenty of wonderful fresh air, groves to play In, the domestic science room to use. When the summer is over We expect to have our little crowd of health soldiers so robust they'll hardly know themselves"
 It is a beautiful thing that a great deal of the money to be spent at the camp-which will be entirely free has been collected by school children themselves. who sold Red Cross Christmas seals and who have sent in tinfoil to help out. Technically speaking, 1t Is the Mary Rumph berculosis association which has done such good work all the year in the schools. and which, with the Age Herald as coworker. Is going into this fine summer camp.
 The camp is expected to be one of the greatest preventives of dis ease ever put on anywhere here.

 We went on through the woods until we came to some swings made of strong wires twisted together. Then we went to log cabin which two men had built. These two men lived in this cabin. In the cabin they had stove and some bed springs.
 On our. way back to the school we came to an old we'll. around which many boys and girls crowded.
 Marlin King was standing by the well when another boy came up be- hind him and nearly pushed him in Marlin nearly sat the other boy in the we'll He got his foot in 1t. Then Miss Stephenson made him stop be- fore he hurt him.

 Right away 25 cots nre needed, and as each one of these will cost only s5.s5. most any little boy or girl should be able to give either & cot. or some money toward buying one.
 Will Be Kept
 These cots are to be kept year by year for this good work of making delicate children robust.
 It's to be called the "kiddie Ramp" and donations of tinfoil. old rubber automobiles tires. inner tubes. lead and such things are wanted in quan- tity. For the Anti ti-tuperculosis as- sociation has a market for these things, and every ounce you send in will be turned over to this organ ization to help children become strong enough to resist diseases.
 So send in your donations today. The names of all those who contribute money for the cots, give tinfoil or anything else, will be printed. and it IS hoped that stacks or stuff will pile up so high in the Age Herald office that aunt Ann will have to climb over to get to her desk
 The Riddle Ramp will be the first fresh air camp ever held in Bir- mingham, and 1t will be out at the Shades Cahaba high school. Permis sion to use the building has been granted by County Superintendent N. R. Baker. and 25 children will be taken out at a time. They will be allowed to remain three weeks, being given supervised attention, rest, feed ing and recreation. These children

 For Just as soon as the baby birds were able to eat by themselves, and finally to find their own food the little girl had them turned out into the big estate. where Tot Tim showed them a lovely cedar tree in which they could make their home right by the little girls bedroom window. And here. often in the night. the little birds will sing wondrously sweet songs for the child to hear
 And never again has the Bad Boy been guilty of telling stories or of being anything but just a regular little gentleman. And now before long. the doctors say that the little girl will be up where she can run and romp and play with him--and don't you know this will be fine?
 The Rabbit
 The little bunny rabbit .yho started everything was so delighted at wha. had been accomplished he said there was only one thing he was sorry about-and that was that he couldn't go and live close by. too. The only trouble was there wouldn't be any nice little tender young plants to eat and other little rabbits to play with. And he'd rather stay at home In the woods. where he could go to bunny parties now and then and sometimes win the prize for having the prettiest gray ears of all the animals in the forest.

 Society to Win in Big Oratorical Contest

Before you Is one Frank Carrel of woodlawn High school. Carrel headed the victorious Lanier Literary so- ciety's oratorical team which won the boys oratoricnI contest last Mon- day from the Phillips Literary society by a score of three to five points. Supporting Carrel the first speaker was Horace Mncknight. whose selec- tion was "spnrtacus to the Roman GiadiatOrs.' Frank gave in n good fashion "Ingersoll's Vision of the War and Vision of the Futurc." which really put the contest on ice for the Lanier. Fighting for the Phillips were Jnck McSpndden. SCOT ing two points, and Oscar Skelton. Both did well.
 Frank is in the fourth semester. . representative from room 20 for the framing of Woodlawn Highs consti- tuition. and always ready to do any. thing to build and help things growl He's real fellow, and famous ns . baseball pitcher, having everything on the ball.

 Then right up to the door of the most beautiful mansion tho Bay Boy had ever seen they went.
 Oh. Tot Tim was picking a good home for those birds!
 Then the man led the Bad Boy right into his house, and out to q sleeping porch where the most beau tiful little crippled girl Tot Tim had ever seen was lying on a pink couch.
 The Bad Boy thought her the pret- tiest child he over saw in his life, and before he knew what he was doing he held out the bird nest and the three i little orphan moeking birds and he i said.

 That made the Bad Boy feel awful 1y queer.
 It made him feel like he would give lanythlng in the world If he wasn't a bad boy. Then, as he met the lit- tie sick girls mother and noticed how everybody seemed to tell nothing but the truth about every little thing, the Bay Boy began to wish he never had told lie and that he wanted to tell the truth, too.
 Finally the delightful visit came to an end and the Bad Boy was walk ing along beside the man after say ing good-hy to the mother and the beautiful little girl. Suddenly his heart got too big to stop the ques- ton:

This Boys Heart Is
 Set Right on Parks

Following composition on Under wood park and parks in general was written by wyndham Mason South gate. 12-year old grand son of wynd- ham Mason. The grandfather Is sponsor for the statement that the composition Is every bit the work of the brain and pen of the young ster. who has evidently studied the whole park proposition from a broad standpoint. The complete com position follows:
 Birmingham Is a beautiful city, said a tourist, "but 1t lacks one thing and that Is park system. It has 10 park system properly equip ped"
 Therefore, when a person makes an appeal to you to give money to help build Unde, wood park, don't say any child Is too small or too large to enjoy a park" or One park will do no good"--for when nurse takes the little children out walking she most invariably stops at a park
