He Cam Forget Work if
 am IEel'S Orl the Linel

Now, we will turn our telescope upon another bachelor-Mr. Robert Brown.
 A big business man in real es- tate and numerous projects, he de- clared he found his greatest out door pleasuring down on the War rior river, where you couldn't think about work if an eel got hold of your hook and line and was deter mined to make morning glory vine of himself.
 Cat fishing is fine down there, MT. Brown said, general headquar- ters being at the Warrior River club.
 That's the martial title chosen by 10 good Birmingham scouss-lots of them bachelors-for their club house, which is tucked into the woods between the Community Club and Mr.. Frank Rushton's , camp.
 It's, about AZ mics Gown there, but given a gasoline horse and a heart for hills and streams and flaming country skies, it doesn't take long to pass through the strug- gles of two or three punctures and arrive tired but joyful.
 You get down via Taylor's ferry, then "take out down the Possum Valley road" Only the wind can catch you-and you love it!
 Often all-day parties, composed of the wives of rze members, groups of friends, young folks, chaperons and children are there

Hall of Fame for HTil1l. He's Good Listener

Third bachelor to the fore is Mir. Reese Adamson.
 He is owner of one of the largest automobile establishments of Bir- mingham, and is delightfully."- known to hundreds of folk who always find in him ready listener about near auto-aceidents and tire troubles.
 And that's some distinction these days when nearly everybody wants to do the talking and no listening much.
 He's one of the pleasantest hosts when he asks you to party
 Always, like at Charity ball. he stages som.thing original, with an eye-opening surprise somewhere along on the program.
 Reese Adamson has an ancestor behind him that widely circulate l magazine has felt called upon to talk whole page about.
 It's his father-Judge w. c. Ad amson, who was in the Congress of these United States Tor 22 years and who never had opposition but one time in his life-and won out hands down, on that occasion.
 Judge was mixed up in the Panama Canal bill, has held thu chairmanship of the committee or Interstate and Foreign affairs and has done literally hundreds of other things.
 Now, it is with this 69-year-old "youngster'' that Birmingham's Reese Adamson spends his yearly vacation.
 He and the judge" have con- structed bungalow for themselves at Carrolton, Ga, on the site of their old homestead, and here they meet for great times. They build their own fires, cut their own logs,

for playing-the stag parties are frequent.
 Mir. Brown is there this week end.
 There are only 10 members of the club, who are: MT. Brown, bachelor; MT. George A. Blinn, Jr. A. w. B. Johnson, MT. Sol Caheen. bachelor; J. B. Patterson, Abe Kaufman, bachelor; R. D. Burnett Sam Blach, bachelor; J. L. Dent and B. B. Burton.
 Boats are plentiful and numer- ous. A sort of eXtravagant and ambitious outlay of them, I might say.
 There are boats for the lazy boats for the tired, and boats for those who crave labor and employ ment.
 For instance, there are oateauX in which a man can show his skill as rower before his best girl. Then there is a good launch, two fishing skiffs and two steel boats in which motors go thump-thug-thug- ging-and you're miles from where. you thought you were when you begin to yearn back toward home at mealtime.
 The club was organized last spring-sometime in June and July. There are several apartments and two big sleeping porches. An inviting living room calls you to slump down and be peaceful and r'using, and the ope fireplace is your own first cousin in the wirter time. Rustic porciles are pleasing With huge posts.

 Lovely Mrs. J. D. Moore, IT,, pre- sides over these social, hospitable occasions-an hour Befng taken up in discussions of psychology, mat ters of theosophy, life after physical death and matters absorbing to those who are either members of the society, or who like to interest themselves in other things than three meals a 12-hour or payday.
 Everybody, and you, are invited. The incest part of the program is that you're allowed to ask questions and do lot of talking.
 While the affairs are more or less "women's parties s"-men not being able to get away from business at 4 o'clock-there are nunper Of men who drop by occasionally. This week, there was class reading con- corning "The Constitution of Hu- man Beings" Mrs. Moore making explanatory talks concerning cer- tain disputed paragraphs.
 Among those often at these teas is this galaxy of brilliant and charming folk: Mrs. R. F. Cooney, Mrs. Julie o. Bonelli, Mrs. C. E. Tatspaugh, Mrs. c. W. Dillman, Mrs. George Bridges, Mrs. W. D. Colby, Mrs. T. S. L. Basore, Miss Avant, Mrs. Alice Stadelman, Miss Lilla May Irwin and others.

 The teas are primarily for the purpose of circulating the library and to give callers and members a chance to procure books.

 The house contains the same furniture Reese was the proud owner of when he was a young ster-his most cherished piece being the mahogany dresser. He has only one complaint of the camp, he said:
 His step-mother has caused springs to be placed on his bed. But he's going to see that this is remedied. He objects to soft life when he and the judge are out roughing it. He wants to sleep on the sIats.

Women Create Society
 to Aid Soldiers

A brand new organization of women-and splendid one-is being formed in Birmingham.
 It's a chapter of the American Legion Auxiliary-and you're in- wted to join.
 It's to be composed of women who are wives, mothers, daughters and sisters of members of the American Legion, or aforenamed femininity which is thus related to men and women in the military or naval service of the World war, as well as women who, of their own right, are eligible to join the Amer ican Legion.
 The objects of the organization are to be the same as those of the American Legion.
 At a recent meeting, officers were elected for the first Birming- ham unit, Mrs. Sep Smith having been chosen president.
 The spirit of the organization shall be to help the ex-soldiers.
 Said Mrs. Smith yesterday:
 I've helped the boys to get to war. Now lets help them since they've come backw
 The campaign is seeking 200 women as members, at present, and those who wish to join are being directed to attend the next meeting of the Birmingham chapter, which is to be held at 2:30 o'clock the second Tuesday in March at the Tutwiler hotel.
 Other officers of the chapter are these Vice president, Mrs. w. J. Winston; secretary, Mrs. Harris Saunders; treasurer, Mrs. W. A. Beckwith.
 This is not the full list of neces- sary officers, but others will be named at future meetings.

Dne Time Three,
 But Only Two Now

In the old days MT. Ramsay was one of that "triumvirate" of bach elors which owned the beautiful old residence at 2154 Highland avenue.
 The triumvirate was composed of Murray Brown, Robert A. Brown and MT. Ramsay.
 And beautiful indeed were the social affairs Birmingham folk en- joyed in this, their homestead.
 Also, there was scarcely week that some Ole of them did not en- certain with charming affairs at the Country and Southern Clubs, spend ing lavishly that folks might be happy.
 Now Murray Brown became the first deserter from the triumvirate. But nobody who has ever seen the charming Mrs. Murray Brown-who was lovely Evaline Wilkerson- could blame him.
 When they were married, one angle of the triumvirate automati- cally was no more.
 So the residence was sold. Since that time MT. Robert Brown has maintained his home at the Ridgely, while Mir. Ramsay became a member of real household-that of MT. and Mrs. Andrew c. Ram say. They are living at the old Solon Jacobs residence, next to the John Raul home.
 MT. Ramsay likes go.f ana while he is often at the Country club plays most frequently at the Roe buck links, which many golfers claim are the finest in the district
 At the hotels and at the Country club Mir. Ramsay is frequent host at little parties, contagious in their merriment, while now and then lucky friends enjoy his hospitality at the Calcis club, of which he is : member.

o, Gosh! DO You Ever
 Wanf to Be Let Alone?

Concerning MT. Browns per sonal "likings," I'll let him talk to you himself.
 "The thing most to be desired in life," he said, "is to be let alone when you want to be-"
 In this he expressed that world old cry that Pm sure must daily vibrate in the veins of many brother and sister Elks, Masons, Odd Eel lows, Maccabees or woodmen.
 And that's about tEe hardest thing any one ever can attain.
 Again:

Bachelors Splendid
 COterie of Citizens
I like bachelors.

like bachelors.
 They're among the incest human beings I know about.
 The reason is they're usually so ready to put themselves out for the happiness of others; and few of them ever do bore you to death with inconsequential language, but permit you to do the talking.
 Still, if you can turn the trick and be quiet, they're able to keep you entertained by the hour With thrillingly gripping experience caught from many busy sectors of the earth.
 I've known bachelors in lots of countries.
 And blessed be, from social standpoint, if you invite most bach elors to your party, it will be suc- you'll have few human being present who'll be interesting to a large number-if not all-of the ladies assembled
 For most women get sort of delight in gently nagging at bach elors. And they adore to give them "advice."
 
 I'm not claiming the above Is true of Birmingham women and bachelor acquaintances. Heavens, no! Pm playing safe, and not en- tering into any local speculations whatsoever.
 This story is just to tell you what magnificent coterie of splendid, substantial men this community possesses in it's group of bachelors and to give you little glimpse of their home lives, playtimes and "off-duty" hours.
 I've lived in many cities, but none of them can beat our group of unmarried citizens.
 Our bachelors are not only deeply interested in the fine business and commercial lives of our 50-year-old burg, but financially and morally, no one else's shoulders are pushing harder it's progress along civic and humanitarian lines.
 For instance
 A lot of people have exclaimed, in sincerest dilemma:
 What would Birmingham and this state do without Erskine Ram say?" And I've wondered a hun dred times myself.
 His work for good causes and his monetary contributions to educa- tional matters is incalculable in it's benefit to future generations. His gifts to Auburn alone--think what Towering they will have in the we'll trained and brilliant minds of com ing young men of Alabama!
 Just an indorsement from Frs kine Ramsay is able to put any usual good cause to a successful finish.
 Wonderful to have built-and to be wielding-a life and influence like that.

Murray Brown. Three were abou 25 who enjoyed this hospitality.
 Swimming is anoyner pressure.

Before the club was a reality, the members utilized the garret of the mill for a part of their headquar- ters, and constructed small club house on the opposite side of the creek from which the present hos pitable building now stands. Thi: "annex clubhouse" is now used for overflow sleeping apartments wher there are many guests at camp.
 During the summer, there i nearly always one party-and maybe several-enjoying the club and is big 5,000-acre yard.
 There is big rustic bridge across the creek.
 Syd w. Lee is president of the club, and I have tried to obtain the full membership of the organiza- tion, but MT. Lee being out of town, only a partial list of the happy participants in Calcis pleas ures is possible. But here those are regular little luck-pieces around the necks of the gods:
 MT. Ramsay, MT. Lee, Mr. Henry L. Badham, MT. J. w. Oden, MT. Reese Adamson, Mir. H. M. Beck, MT. Lloyd Hooper, MT. Henry Ed mondson of Anniston, MT. T. M. Nesbitt, Felix l. Tarrant, Dr. Chas. w. Lokey, MT. Jule Ormand and Mir. George Johnson.
 It is expected that during this summer many delightful guests will seek out the club as a play-time mecca.
 MT. Ramsay said he personally was liable to do anything, and he might give a party himself!

Catching a Mudturtle
 No Job You'd Pick!

Now, one of the cutest, most heart-satisfying features of the Calcis club is the fact that you can sling your gun over your shoulder, get out huning into the woods-and if you don't want to come back to the clubhouse for meals, you can knock at the door of the keepers lodge and find abundant hospitality.
 You'll be let in, fed charming meal with delicious coffee, and gob- lets of purest, clear, country water.
 This lodge is situated on hill about one-fourth mile from the clubhouse proper.
 You may do many a thing for wholesome sport and rest and Joy at Calcis club!
 There's a. big front clubhouse yard where you can pitch horse shoes-or, if you have notion for fishing, it can be satisfied, from the bent-pin variety to deep-sea ang- ling.
 You can enjoy what you desire, according to any Isaak Walton im- agination.
 Of course, you'll never spear haic--but seme big fish have been caught there.
 Why, one time
 But I'll let membe~ of the club tell you about that fish.
 He said that if you'd stretch both arms out as far as you possibly could reach, and then mark off about an inch on your forefinger, the length of the inch would be about the size of the fish that al ways nabbed his hook and made him jump around tree, holler For help and brace himself to land 'em.
 Now, he'd heard tales of some of the big ones-and he knew there were some there. But they evidently hated his picture, ana never did come waving their tails, spouting water and churning around the bend to swallow his tadpole.
 But if there was very small sil ver-side in the creeK, or mud turtle, he had him! If he couldn't catch a silver-side any other way, he'd land him tail-first.
 He always literally despised and loathed mud-turtle. After eating canful of bait and keeping you wildly excited couple of hours, the stinking-Jim invariably swallowed your hook and line down to his Adams apple, and, when you landed him, delivered you mean and narsty look.
 You didn't want the turkel-but you did want your hook. It was 8 good hook.
 Dern turtles ribs! The var mint was unspeakably slimy and horrible. Why would he persist in playing peek-a-boo with you? If he would only keep still!
 You were in nervous shimmy. You turned your head away and reached for the rascal's neck. o shivering zebras! You were going crazy and forgetting!
 Suppose the black devil got hold of you and it didn't thunder for month. Nice little fix you'd be in, and a date on with your girl next week.
 You turned the wampus loose like pizen, bowed to him, told him to accept the hook with your com pliments, and fled.

PLAN TO CARD INDEX
STATE VOTERS IN D. C.
Republicans Will Urge Return to
Homes to Aid Candidates
This Year.

Plans for assisting the republican
candidates in the special elections to
be held in the near future in a num-
Der OF states to fill vacancies in the
House and one in the Senate were
discussed last night by the executive
committee of the Republican State
Voters Association in the head
quarters of the association at 734
18th street.
In several of these states the re-
publicans are reported to need every
possible vote If they are to come
out victorious, and 1t Is the aim of
the State Voters Association to get
out the vote of residents of those
states who are now in Washington.
The committee also discussed plans
for commencing the preparation of a
card index of the republican state
voters temporarily residing in Wash
ington. which index will be used in
the 1924 campaign.
Among the thirty-two new mem
hers elected last night was Charles
Z. Hughes, Secretary of State. In u
letter to the committee accompanying
his application. the Secretary wrote /:
ut seems to me that this association
will be of great value in giving
necessary information to those who
are temporarily resident in the Dis
trict of Columbia and are still quail
fed to register and vote in their
home states"
