"AXLS CLUB"
Of Birmingham Edited By Mrs. Shelby G. Taylor

Activities of the Axis dance will assume lively pace and pretty swift measure: No sooner one great enter prise rounds completion than another IS taken up with the same avidity. Makes one actually dizzyi With the half of brilliant memories crowning Baby Week" just concluded, the less ambitious might be tempted to rest upon the oars" of this Success" and drift a bit But, not so, with the Axis. The "wheel' turns on and on until there Is no forecasting what ends will be reached, what new worlds will be conquered" by a body such as this, before the full momen- tum is attained.
 Our Axis club is young so youngi Yet it controverses the whole theory of Crawling" before walking. AL ready it steps in giant strides until no purpose towers too great, no work seems too weighty for It's undertak- ing.
 Brimful of interest was the week just past. Every day the club rooms were the scene of some gathering. A busy center or rendezvous for club members upon various missions bent.
 Armistice Day solicited full meas ure of notice, the club befittingiy comm emorating the occasion so deep ly engraved in patriotic hearts. A wreath and flag were placed upon ev- cry fallen veterans resting place.
 Tuesday, day after tomorrow, will be "Red Letter Day" in club annals Sandwiched in between all the great civic, philanthropic and cultural movements espoused by the Axis bit of recreation finds welcome niche. For "all work and no play" as we have heard, Is disastrous to "Jacks' brightness. So. the essence of non sense and the frivolous will claim contributing part to club activities of the week. A party--a sure-enough one Is scheduled for Tuesday at nescing over this promised, entertain ment it will not be lacking in snap" and pleasure. Its nature will be a card party. Quite 25 tables have all ready been spoken for, no doubt many more ere this have been engaged:
 Mrs E. D. Brown, our very able and charming hospitality chairman. was all enthusiasm In retailing all the plans for the card party Tuesday the first of a series. Mrs. Brown expressed the assurance of a large attendance as the idea had been so eagerly seized A small fee for the privilege of paying, S1 and, with this, of course, goes the chance of a lovely prize. ts say nothing of delightful refresh- ments.
 Mrs. Brown Is truly the right se- lection for the post she holds, for 1t takes some tact to shoulder the host- ess role for such large organization. The proceeds from th6 attractive ar fair will be devoted to purchasing the, accessories for the club house-the frllls and furbelows.s
 BOOK REVIEW EVENING"
 Tomorrow evening, the literary de- partment will revel in most inter esting session. It being Book Re view evening. Two charming books of the day will be entertalningly delved into by Mrs. Angus Taylor:, who will review Madame, Claire, clare. her audience with the resume of Lucy Furnan's recent contribution. "Quare Women.' creditable display or cnllA dren's literature now regale the club house library, this addition has been most carefully eatalogueo.
 The Axis co-operated with the Kiwanis club in disposing of but tons on the street yesterday. Tor. the benefit of the Boys club of the city 50 women helping.
 Wonder if it is generally known that the White dairy generously or fered their large automobile trucNs trSs 
 babies and children to and from health eenters Baby week? The Axis extends appreciation to this dairy.
 French classes are headed toward great success. Mrs. Angus Taylor speaks most enthusiastically of the way the classes are being recelved. The conversational class has grown wonderfully, while the beginners section. too, shows a marked increase in numbers. The educational branch or department has field, indeed, to blow with so many classes ana courses functioning.
 Dr. Langs course In social psy- cho1oGy is proving highly instruc- tive and entertaining. Mrs. Angus Taylor sdesires it to be known that those anxious to avail themselves or single lectures may do so upon the payment of nominal admlssion-a privilege, indeed, considering the ad- vantages of this course, to say noth- ing of Its leader.
 There was hardly room for the crowd which flocked tc club head anarters Wednesday morning. A compliment, indeed. to Mrs. W. L.. Murdoch's current topic classes. Mrs Muvoch held her listeners deeply entNalled three quarters of an hour giVing d brief, comprehensive out line of the great political perplexi- ties of the day, with the European back ground as the pivotal point>of peginning well merited response rewarded Mrs. Murdoch for her able and thorough research into this all- absorbing question. There were many outsiders noted in the assemblage.
 The theme of the wonderful per sonnel and the great broad aims of our Axis would fill pages instead of supplying one scant column (glad as we are to get it), for one's enthusi- asm just overbubbles when the sub- ject is started.
 Now, here is our much loved Mrs. Angus Taylor doing the sweetest, truest work just as equ!etly as a tiny mouse. No heraldng of 1t at all-it just leaked out, as it were. Too fine to keep covered, just had to boil over. So thus into the plying
