CONDEMNS GROSSNESS
pr. MacSpOrran Cnlls Spirit of Mod.
 ernA Dance Of DcNpair

Dfs MuCSpOfTUm SuAIS SV1fIV or NIO0-
 erns Dance Of Despair
 "Grossness and sensuality of the s6-called smart set of today" said Dr. MacSporran at the morning serv- ice of the First Presbyterian church, 'are but the gesture of despair, the dance of death, covering emptiness. The trouble with the young .intellec- tuals' of our day is that they are brilliant, but only for little hour. They are without faith, with no con- structive view in life, no foundation or vision or reserves or source of supply"
 The minister spoke in the opening part of his sermon of the absence of real wick edness on the part of the people, which Is mainly matter of foolishness. Like the foolish virgins. there is too little oil in their lamps. For there is very little luck in life. and the men who have arrived are always the men with moral capital and mental resources. These facts. known and faced. bring us to the greatest need, something to fall back on," he said.
 And it is here" the minister con- tinued, that the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ equips us to face the worst. It gives us something to fall back on in the time of need"
 In conclusion pr. MacSporran spoke of the faith as being an ad- vancing army that should not be staked on traditional views and creedS.

JURY DISCHARGED
 IN PREACHERS SUIT FUR S20,000 BALM
No Decision Reached After Hours of Consultation and New Trial May Be
 Necessary

Unless a compromise is effected or the suit dismissed the marital af- fairs of Rev. D. E. Cooper, Northern Methodist preacher, and his wife, now Mrs. Francis Riley Cooper Lane, must be aired in the Jefferson circuit court again. This was determined Sunday at noon when the jury hear ing MT. Cooper's suit against B. NJ. Holcombe, Birmingham dairynan, for $20,o00 for alienation of his wifes atfectSns. Reported to Judge c. B. Smith its inability to agree, and was discharged. The jury took the case at O clock Saturday after noon, discussed 1t until 10 o'clock Saturday night. slept over it.. wransled with it until 12 o'clock Sunday, and was released.
 The trial of the suit began Thurs day when MT. Cooper took the stand and alleged his wife had been weaned away from him by Holcombe, a mem- Der of his congregation, when he had charge Of a church in the county. He was followed by a boarding house keeper who alleged Holcombe had visited Mrs. Cooper after she had left her husband in Gate City, Va, Janu ary 6, 1922.
 The most dramatic incident of the trial came Friday when Mrs. Cooper went en the stand for the defense. She related her life with her husband from the time of her marriage in Georgia at the age of b until she left. him for alleged cruelty in 1922 at the age of 21. Crying, laughing, fighting, cringing, she told her story before q crowded court room of curi- osity seekers. Sine denied improper relations with Holcombe. Mrs. Cooper was on the stand throughout the day.
 The suit for alienation of affec- tions grew out of a divorce suit filed by Cooper last summer, in which he named Holcombe as correspondent Mrs. Cooper filed a cross bill deny ing allegations of infidenity and charging cruelty on the part of her husband. She was awarded divorce and custody of her small daughter on a decree pro confesso. Cooper ap- pealed the suit and it is now pending before the supreme court.
 While on the stand Mrs. Cooper admitted having married John Will liam Lane. Jr., in Atlanta January 29, 1923. Her decree of divorce de- nied her the right to remarry pend- ing an appeal She testified she did not know of the appeal until after she had married.

TALKS OF TRAINING
Dr. Edmonds Speaks of Impressions
 Made on InfantiIe Mind

Proper training and bringing up of children was the main issue dealt with by Dr. Henry NJ. Edmonds in his sermon on our Biggest Job" at the Lyric theatre Sunday evening.
 Dr. Edmonds laid special stress on the vital and all important thought of child training, pointing out that infant minds quickly absorb and di- gest those teachings of childhood. That they are lndelibiy imprinted and mold the life, according to the early teachings. 0. Henry's famous story of the wayward young girl was used by the speaker as d vivid illustra- tion in which he fGrcefully and ear nestly pleaded with parents as to their responsibility in molding the lives of the future generation of this great country.
 Congregational and choral singing under direction of MT. Erickson pre- ceded the sermon of pr. Edmonds, and included the anthem, We Pray Thee. Gracious Lord," Heaven Is My Home," As Torrents Rage in Sum mer" and others.
 Seating capacity of the Lyric was taxed to the utmost, and the chorus of 50 trained voices proved one of the features Of the evening service, which was under auspices of the Mems club of the Independent Pres byterian church.

BAUER SEES MUSIC OF AMERICA IMPROVING
Finds Other Things Sacrificed, But
 Good Composer Favored

America mas great future. mu l. sically speaking, in the opinion of Harold Bauer the famous pianist who will appear at the Jefferson theatre March 15 under the auspices of the Music Study club. This is MT. Bauers ninth season in America and he has had ample opportunity Cf ob- serving America in general and mu- sical America in particular, having played in every state but two. His observations have led him to take ou. citizenship papers and he will make New York his home in the fu- ture instead of Paris.
 Mir. Bauer is firm believer in the United States musical future. "No very great composers have dimmed the horizon as yet, but the country and especially it's culture-is very young," he said. America is music ally responsive, there can be no dc ubt about that. Music has already be- come one of the necessities of life. That was demonstrated plainly dur ing the war. Many things were sac rificed, the theatre suffered enor- mously. publishers attest that fewe books were sold, but music was pat ronized more than ever before. This was by no means true of every coun- try, 1 have learned. France turned tC her theatre and England to books, and music suffered in both those countries.
 "The various races and peoples that make UT this nation are only re- gently being fused together, vast people with tradition and a national consciousness. Heretofore they have been chiefly concerned with estab- fishing themselves, in utilizing and organizing the great forces that America contains. There has net been enough time for the outgrowth of a national art; the people have eX- pressed themselves in commerce, az riculture and government. Now that they have chance to sit up and look about, art is patroniZed with greater eagerness and earnestness than it is in Europe.
 "It has often been the contention n that the music of a people is founded on it's folk songs and dances. Of course America has no peasantry. The negro music cannot be consid- cred a national product for all the negroes were imported from Africa less than three centuries ago and their melodies are unmistakably African. Indian music cannot be con sidered national. since the Indians have not even been aSsim1ated. But I do not believe that all great music contains the melodies of a people, or is even distinctly national in fla vor. Bach, the greatest of all com posers, seldom us-. the German folk melodies. His work, like that of Shakespeare or Tolstoi, is for all times and all people. and draws its material from the world. When America is ripe for it. she will ex- press herself musically. with or with out a musical tradition, because she has already proven that to be one of her natural channels of expression"

COMMISSION MAY FAVOR SEPARATE CARS F0R RACES
Traction Company Complains of Expense and Mass Meet ing Will Discuss Mer-
 its of Situation

City commissioners are believed to favor the jim crow, ordinance, which will be rendered to the com mission at their regular meeting Tuesday morning by Commissioner W. L. Harrison, which will ask for separate entrances, separate com partments and possibly separate cars for the two races. Presentation of the ordinance grew out of the rul- in3 of the attorney general to the public service commission that race regulations were in the hands of the police powers of the city and not the service commission.
 A mass meeting will be held at Woodrow Wilson park at o'clock Thursday night s.t which time dis cussions of the question will be made. Handbills twill be distributed throughout the city and parade is being planned.
 Several prominent speakers will be on the program. including Commis- sioner W. l.. Harrison. and the resi- dents of the various car lines of the city who filed complaints regarding the one man type of street cars now in use on the lines.
 The ordinance which will be pre- sented to the commission was drafted several months ago by W. J. Wynn, city attorney, but was never pre- scented to the commi ssion, the Bir mingham Railway, Light and Power company changed several car lines, giving double entrance service, on protests filed by the citizens. Two protests from Norwood and Fountain Heights were rendered Commissioner Harrison. J. s. Pevear of the trac- ton company stated it would en- tail too much expense to grant the changes.

 The wildcat might have been presiding over the game. At other places the flutter tf cards substi- tuted for the click of the worries as Birmingham darKtown celebrated Sunday.
