Old Superstition.

The origin of the superstition that
green Is unlucky lies In the fact that
green is the color of the forest, which
In primitive days was full of wild
beasts. People naturally looked upon
the forest as being unlucky.

In May, 1923, the convention was organized in Greensboro. At that time there were only about 5000 Baptists in the state. Now there are more than 500, 900. More than half of the church mem bers In Alabama are members of Baptist churches. This, cf course, in- cludes the negro Baptists Baptists were among the first denominations to advocate and establish church schools, Judson college and Howard college, both being launched In the early forties. These schools have all the while held high places in the school work of the state.
 During all these years the nu- merical strength Of the Baptists has been in the rural districts, yet in many towns and cities they rank in numbers and influence with any other denomination. Baptists have all the while had able preachers and strong laymen who have helped to shape the policy of the state and administer civic affairs.
 Record Attendance Expected.
 In the coming convention there will be a record breaking attendance Montgomery is centrally located earily reached by rail, and the Capi- tai City. Then the fact of the cen tennial meeting will draw large crowds.

This is the largest enrolment at this season of the year in the history of Auburn. The situation has taxed to the utmost the housing facilities of this town.

 A number of departments are badly congested, notably the physics de- partment which is housed in the base ment of the main building. To meet the overflow conditions here it has been necessary to extend the labora- tory out into the basement corridor and all work must be done under the electric light. The department of architecture is also badly crowded, men standing against the wall wait ing their turn at the tables. The de- partment of romance languages is in stalled in improvised quarters on the second floor of the library.
