Much Ability Shown In Work of Pupils
 In City

The exhibition of work done by the public school children of Birming- ham, which was placed in the ad- ministration building of the city board of education primarily fer vis- iting teachers to examine during the A. E. A, has created such an interest among local people that Mrs. Leonore Eldred. art and drawing supervisor of the schools, who had the exhibit placed there, was persuaded to leave it there the whole of last week, all though she had at first intended to remCve it as soon as the convention was over.
 At any time of the day one hap pened to look in at the administra- tion building, visitors could be seen passing back and forth. and if one were sufficiently curious to know the "why" of so much coming and going, and dropped inside, he found himself in no hurry to leave. On the contrary, he began to go from the work of one school to that of another, examining it critically, try ing to decide which was the best. and the more he tried the worse state Gf indecision he found himself in.
 That part of the exhibit devoted to designing and dressmaking probably gave many visiting teacher an idea for spring gingham, afternoon dress or party frock. The design even had a sample of material pasted on the same sheet, and the price. figured out to the very cent, at

 Racquets For The Girls

II there is any woman i'll Birolng- ham who gets up each morning with natural glow on her check and an elastic spring in her step. who has never given a moments worry to the laying on of pounds or the flaying off of the same, this article is not for her. For she has found the most coveted gift of the gods. But for the great army of women for whom this is not true--the women who ride in motor cars and suffer from poor e'T- culation, those who manage to walk few blocks to the corner drug store for the sake of unholy and un- wholesome sweets and then complain of overweight. and those who sit oil the side lines at basketball game and envy the freedom. the grace, the agility. the glowing health of their brothers-for all that army, l say. this is a clarion call.
 If women who are honest in their desire for the physical freedom now enjoyed by the masculine part of the population, now is the time to prove it. In fact, the only vestige remaining seems to be her shackled body.
 Do They Desire Perfect Muscles.
 And the quarrel is not with her restrictive, uncomfortable clothing, put With ner utter 1nQllleTellce pl distaste for anything savoring Of muscular activity. Do women really want to have beautifully developed, 1.-the bodies or do they want instead a mass of characterless, unsightly flesh? Do they really desire to know the thrill that comes from using a set. of perfectly co-ordinated muscles or do they prefer to gain their diversion from the use of the embroidery needle?
 Finally, are women satisfied with present-day iron-bound conventions that say, mo serious physical train ing for women," or do they really feel rebellious and long for equality with men along the line of athletics both professional and -profes- sonal.
 And that brings us to the real pur- pose of this story. If women are

really interested in athletics, then well and good. There is a gigantic work for somebody in the organiza- tion and development of plans There
 are women of all types and ages who need physical training more than any other thing-high school girls, show girls, business women, school teach CTS. married women, and society women. If they are interested in the more abundant life, the life full ot radiant healthc and joy and service. then surely they will be interested in physical training.
 Few Girls In Athletics.
 But, judging from what can be ob- served in Birmingham since last Sep tember, a well-founded belief exists that there are only two classes in the city who are conscious of the exist ence of athletics for women-the very small minority of girls playing on the several high school and college bas- ketball teams, and comparatively small but ardent group of Y. W. C. A club girls who indulge regularly and frequently In hikes and week -end camping trips. And this fact alone practically proves that a small por- tion of Birmingham women under 25 and none over 2o are engaging in any sort of competitive or group athlet- ics. For city that brides itself on
 it's progressiveness. for a city that unblushingly acknowledges it's right to the epithet "The New York of the South" this state of affairs is a con- stant reproach.
 No longer ago than Tuesday of last week a certain, enthusiastic re- porter was extolling in glowing terms that mecca of all tired bus
 mess men-the gymnasium of the Central Y. M C. A. He stated em- phaticaly the necessity for business men of muscular activity if they would keep in physical trim. and yet no plan or suggestion was given for the thousands of women-stenogra phers, housekeepers, and-just plain women who are listless and dull-eyed. to gain this same training that is so essential to good health and brain work.

 The prospective brides among the teachers, and among the city girls, too, must have been filled with long ing at the sight of the lovely cedar chests, also made by high school boys. It was source of regret that every article did not have the makers name on it. Two bright boys at Woodlawn, Charles Yandle and Ralph Ledftrd, didn't forget to put their names on the little footstools they had made in the woodwork class, footstools that would make any visitor wish he could draw up the Norris chair made by some other stu dent, prop his feet Cn one of them. and give up to the spring fever that has already well nigh overcome him.
 Nor must the work of the grammar grades be overlooked. The little tots of one of the second grades In the city had constructed a little house of pasteboard, and furnished 1t SC per fectfy in pasteboard furniture and paper hangings, that one might nave thought it was the work of an expe- rienced interior decorator.

'This Alabama rain is enough to make all the Greek and Latin roots sprout, said Dr. William Nelson Thomas, of St. Louis Friday, who, with Mrs. Thomas, has been attend ing the meetings of the Southern Classical Association, which convened in Birmingham last week.
 "Oh, but it isn't raining rain to me, it's raining roses down. added the charming Mrs. Thomas, who has taken such fancy to Alabama, with all it's recent rough weather, that her professor husband is afraid 1t will be d difficult matter to get her back to the middle west again.
 Dr. and Mrs. Thomas are among the most interesting visitors to the Classical Association programs. Both have grcwn white in the practice of Teaching. At present. Dr. Thomas IS filling the unexpired term of Pror- fesso fulliam former head of the department of Greek and Latin, at Howard College.
 *No. 1 haven't always taught" said Mrs. Thomas once I was my daughters private secretary, and off she went into the most delightful story of how her daughter had been chosen president of famous old
 
 girls. in Omaha, Nebraska, and im- p1ediately on her acceptance, had of fered Mrs. Thomas the position as her secretary.
 This couple comes originally from Ohio. As Mrs. Thomas said, they had known each other always, and even when they were children a Sunday school. had stood up together and sung We Want To Be Angels" and 'I,ll Be an Angel Up There"
 Dr. Thomas relates a charming bit Of his days of courtship. He says that he had just one sweetheart in all his life. and that she was the present Mrs. Thomas. He himself, according to his account, Was not very pre- possessing young man, and all the other girls ridiculed Mrs. Thomas for taking up her time with him. But so persistent ill his endeavors. that she Kept company" with him until she loved him. That's now I got the finest woman in the world" he added, with q sly wink.
 In, the early summer. Dr. and Mrs Thomas will sail for tour of Europe. Whether it is delayed honeymoon, they don't say. but it is clear that the promise of this trip is about the only means Dr. Thomas had of getting his wife's consent to leave the delightful southland for her Missouri home.
