Community Camp Most
Popular This Season

They've been having all sorts of
merry times--the young folks
and the wives and friends of the
members-down at the Community
clubs camp this spring season.
Of course l don't mean when it
was sluicing such RAINS.
When the week-ends come ca
reening along, they bring with
them much hurrying hither and
thither, getting ready for camp
life, much packing of grips and
many thrills of superinduced hap
piness at the thought of making
one Of a good-time invited guest
group.
The Community Club camp is
near Tuscaloosa, and is outfitted
for joy and outdoor pleasure.
There are numerous cottages,
while swimming in the Warrior

There is big club house, built

after the big luncheon.
All in brown and both eyes gay,

He starts in on Ray Lang, while
Lang squirms. He tells of Mr..
Lang's virtues-to the victims evil

real pride the club has in Lang,
who has been elected the national
president of Exchange-and then
reaches in his left hand pocket and
drags out a vast gold pin which he
presents to Mr.. Lang, with the
clubs compliments, and calls on
Mr.. Lang for a speech.
1t is sort Of advantage to take

But Lang is pushed forward with

asked one of the Birmingham girls
this last week what she thought

We must end the day with or

of the coffee cup few dozen
times, we petition for second
helping, and find ourselves face to
face with a hard worker-J. T.
Munds, who is nothing if not gen
erous-and Jack Frazer, who, we
are informed, is peach of fine
singer. We've heard lot of good
qualities about Jack-but never
this before. Only trouble, Jack re-
fuses to sing at home. He says
he believes in having mercy on the
home folks. Besides, one never can

Her Family oldest
i'm Whole City?

i'm Whole City?
Birmingham has a most inter-
esting and busy woman in the per-
son of Mrs. W. G. Knopf, on Cliff
road.
She has, first of all, two distinc-
tions-she is the president Of the
oldest club in the eity-5he EDGE
wood elub-and her family also,
it is declared, IS probably the old
est in Birmingham. After that,
she is a woman who is doing sr,ea-
did executive and constructive ciub
work for her city.
got line on Mrs. Knopf a few
days ago through a good friend
and found out something / never
knew before. 1t vas
That the Lakeview section
round in the vicinity of the Coun-
try club-was formerly known as
Edgewood, from which this liter
airy organization, Of which Mrs.
Knopf is president, chose its name.
1t has included in it's membership
in the years past some of the fin
est women of the city, and con-
tinues to function with the same
healthy progress, as the years go
on.
After lot of effort to locate
Mrs. knopf, [ got her over the tele-
phone one evening, and we had
an awfully good time.
She is a brilliant woman-and
exceedingly clever.
While she couldn't be positive
her family was the oldest in the
city, she said she thought the fact
was probably true. She related
that she had ancestor's-gobs and
loads of them-but probably the
most interesting she could recall
was one of her ancestors VINO was
beheaded by Queen Elizabeth. He
was lord-in-waiting to the queen.
This was along In about the
year 1599-or whatever time it
was the old queen had Sir Walter
Raleigh shedding his coat.
Mrs. knopf said that, while this
ancestor had always been interest
ing to her, she had never been
able to find out why he had been
beheaded. She didn't know whe-
ther he had been defending some
good cause, got tired of his wait
ing job and said SO, didn't believe
in the divine rights of kngs-or
whether the old queen was just
having bad day.
She had thought often of hay-
ing his shade summoned back so
she could be sure of the reason Of
his taking off. But she had always
been too busy. Besides, the old
gentlemen might resent being ask
ed personal questions.
Mrs. Knopf was married with
wedding ring which was made
in 1760, and which has been worn
by the oldest girl in the family
ever since. 1t was originally
very wide band. Now it has be-
come so thin, it cannot be worn
at all.
There are many distinguished
members of the family alo4g the
line. Many of them have carved
their names conspieuously in the
country's history.
Mrs. Knopf Is now away for a
summer holiday, having mo ored
north a short time ago. With her
party are her three children-Bul,
Jr., 10 years old; Patsy, 9; and
George Stanbury, who is 4. The
drive will include Canada, and a
trip to Terre Haute, where they
will be guests of Mrs. Knopf's ia
Their, Mr. George Flood. They will
also stop at Niagara Falls, return
ing to Birmingham about the mid
die of August.
