Many Things Combine To Make This Week
 Different

This week Is different from al the other weeks of the yeari
 Many things of significance, varied ones, too, combine to make 1t so.
 Nationally and locally. scientifi- cally and socially, it's different.
 It all started with the eclipse.
 ! Barely was the first work day of the week begun, when along came the moon crossing paths with the sun (of course the scientists will say that's mixed), and making everybody down here on Mother Earth think it was tune to quit work in mid d-afternoon. Not only did astronomers and men of science find occasion for unusual in terest in this physical phenomenon, but society folk and even whole com munities in certain sections of the country found it a hook to hang an unusual kind of entertainment on, as the pageant "The Fete of the Sun, :" given in Coronado. Cal.
 On Monday, too, at sunset. began the Jewish New Year, to continue till sunset on Tuesday, with special serv- ices Monday evening and Tuesday morning.
 One had only to glance in the terminal or the Louisville and Nash vile station any time Monday to know there was a great crowd going and a greater crowd coming. Though 1t was easy enough from their chat ter to tell that those leaving were students on their way to the various boarding schools, colleges and uni- versailles, one might have been prone to believe the incomers were vacation ists returning home until he tried to get served in hurry at the Business Women's club or chanced to pass the Phillips High school at 230 p. m. -t teachers to the left of them, teachers in front of them. teachers behind them" sang the newspaper reporters. deluged in thousands of them here for the city and county institutes meeting at the same time, but in separate groups. And it was whis- pered that though the county teach CTS got only two days, the city teach CTS were to have five full days. with no extra charge, and allowed to keep the change.
 Monday, too, saw the formal open ing of the American Red Cross cam paign to raise Birmingham quota of s10,000 for the relief of the victims of the Japanese holocaust, with Bir- mingham and Montgomery hot rivals for first place in the race to see which will first subscribe the quota.
 Tuesday began in rather startl- ing manner locally. when the sound of the drums brought everybody out to see the parade of the Ku Klux Klan, all in costume, and many masked. As this body of men marched by, representatives of an in- visible government. 1t was gratifying to know that their leader had linked himself only the Sunday before with one of the largest churches in the city, candidate for baptism.
 Socially, Tuesday affairs were mostly for the bride elects, Miss Mar garet Conniff and Miss Margaret Kennedy, while for Wednesday, though there Is pre-nuptial affair for each of the Margarets, the we'd ding of Miss Mary Gladys Garden to MT George Bridges Foss occupies the largest peg on the social hanger.
 Thursday leads off with more af- fairs for the brides-elect, and reaches it's climax in the violin recital of the master violinist, Sol Mareosson, at the Jefferson, in the evening.
 Friday, both brides-elect will be honorees, the grand officers of the chapter, will be entertained, the lit- tie rats" at Howard will be allowed to attend their first formal college reception, and the Elite club will dance away several happy hours at Linger Longer lodge.
 Saturday, one of the elect, Miss Conniff, becomes a bride, and the other, Miss Kennedy, is enter tained in the morning, In the after noon and in the evening.
