AUenue E Residences Found
 Fauor In 1898, Realtors Told

Interesting figures comparing real estate values of the present day with those of 1898 were given to members of the real estate board by Hill Fergu- son at the weekly luncheon held at Tutwiler hotel Thursday afternoon. All data was taken from advertise ments in The Age Herald of that year. MT. Ferguson was then a member of the papers staff.
 He took many of the advertise ments, which were listed in the real estate column of The Age-Herald. which listed property many times lower than would be their purchas- ing price during the present time. Many of the ads were for homes, principally in the section east of Twentieth street, bordering on Avenues E and F, which could be bought for little more than one thou sand dollars. Some of the down. town district property, north of Fifth avenue, was selling for several hundred dollars a front foot.

 Inspection of the new headquarters of the board, 116M Twenty-first street, north, was to have been made Thursday by a committee appointed

AIDA IS PLANNING TO GIVE BABY GIRL HOME NEXT YEAR
Artist Disapproves Of Drink ing By Youngsters Who
 Carry Pocket FlaSkS

Though she is firm in her stand for careers for women as well as men, Madam Frances Aida, contralto of sings at Phillips High school audi torium Friday night, loves children and intends to adopt "an American girl baby within a year or two" she told an Age Herald representative who visi d her at the Tutwiler hotel Thursday afternoon. She wants this child to be about IS months of age. Mime. Aida adores American children.
 Mme. Aida was born in New Zea- land. but has been in America for To seasons. Her husband is director or the Metropolitan company, proud or her success, she said But, she would not have married him had he been singer. she declared.
 Aida began singing at four; at five played the piano, and the violin at six. She comes from a family of art ists. Believing In prenatal influence, she thinks this was partly responsi- ble for her gift of voice.
 Her eyes are her most attractive features. They are deep brown, shot with tiny lights with flash when she is animated. Her hair Is furnished auburn, framing a face which indi- cates a strong, determined character. She is positive in all her characteris- tics. She thinks and speaks rapidly. She gives the impression of high strung nerves and temperament, though her manner is composed
 During the interview she rather reversed the tables on the inter- viewer by asking few questions herself. What do you think of pro- hibition?" She said she had never seen so much drinking in all her life and that she heartily disapproved of 16-year-old boys and girls carrying hip-pocket flasks.
 Mime. Aida says that a musical career is not hard. It is terrific '' That the public never realizes the great amount of preparation and work which is necessary to succeed She mentioned the hardships of travel on tours. The long rides, noisy hotels and the many inconveniences. After her concert here Friday night, she must take train immediately for Fl Paso, Tex.
 She deplored the taste of the American public in it's popular music of today. She also expressed her opinion of artists who use trashy music on their programs because it appeals to the popular taste. She feels that the artist should always give his best. On her program which will be rendered at the Phillips High school auditorium Friday night, she has selected the music from the great masters and will sing in several Ian guages. She says that she Is having translations printed on the program that they may be more thoroughly underst cd and appreciated.-B. M. S

 Beautiful ensemble numbers, with well drilled chorus, marked the per- formance. The opening of the third act laid in Mrs. Aliens garden, was effective, receiving audible recogni- tion. It is night scene in an Italian garden. Scenery throughout showed thought.
 The Clinging Vine Ladies' orchestra pleased with several intermi ssion numbers, Miss May Thompson rem dering an especially effective harp selection.
 As is the case with all Savage pro- auctions, the lyrics and music are delightful, having that quality which sends the audience away from the theatre humming the theme of the play.

PLANS COMPLETE TO REMOVE BODY OFF OGLETHORPE
Final Permission Must Be Obtained From Parish
 Church

CRANHAM, England, Oct. H. Having definitely located the bodies of Gen, James F. Oglethorpe and his wife under the chancel of the parish church here, Dr. Thornwel Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe university, today began preparation of his peti- tion for permission to remove the bodies to America for permanent en- shrinement In Atlanta.
 Before this permission can be granted the chancellor of the diocese will have to ascertain whether there is any objection on the part of the members of the Cranham parish, which comprises less than 500 per- sons. While one or two residents have already expressed opposition to disturbance of the bodies, it is not thought any serious or concerted movement against their transfer will be made.
 In supporting the petition for re- moval, Rev. Leslie Wright, rector of the parish, said today:

AT THE LYRIC


 A program that begins good and gets better as it goes is not an ex- aggerated summary of the bill be- ing offered at the Lyric for the last half of this week.
 Folks who appreciate a hearty laugh will especially enjoy Jack Han ley's act, and that of the monks, which are exceptionally clever and entertaining. If ever there were bet ter trained monkeys on the stage, they certainly never have appeared in Birmingham.

Frances Aida, contralto of the Metropolitan Opera company, doesn't have to depend on her husbands aid to win a place in the hearts of her audiences, judging from her recep- tion during her present concert tour with Charles Hackett, American tenor, who has been styled "Caruso's successor" also a member of the Metropolitan. They appear In con- cert at Phillips High school audito- rum Friday night, marking musical dedication of the auditorium, by the Star Concerts.

Wisdom in the abstract is per.

But wisdom in the concrete. as
we find it embodied in those
whom We call wise men, always
has cracks in it.
There are faults in the gold

For example, the silly streak

unsuitable fondness for the fair

1t is not our place to Judge and

The fortunate thing Is that
they seldom coincide. When we

to correct and neutralize one

That is what is meant by the

Bob White.
Bob White, sitting on fence post,

in the wheat field. He had seen
the dog find the flock of young Bob
Whites. He had seen the hunter
come up with his terrible gun. He
had seen the young Bob Whites fly
and that terrible gun go bang, bang.
1t had been a dreadful moment for
Bob White. Yes, indeed, it had been
a dreadful moment. You know,
those young Bob Whites were his
own children.
Perhaps you can guess something
of the great relief which filled his
heart when, after the bang, bang,
of that terrible gun no young Bob
White went fluttering to the ground.
But he knew that at least one had
been hit. He had seen one give a
sort of a little jump in the air as
he flew. There might be others. Of
this he couldn't be sure.
He kept his place on the fence
post and watched his children scat.
ter as they had been taught to do.
They scattered far and wide, for
never in their rather short lives had
they been frightened as they now
were. So most of them flew until
they could fly no further. But ev-
cry one of them flew over onto
Farmer Browns land. OF this Bob
White made sure.
''That's something to be thankful
for" said he, and sighed with re-
lief. ST don't believe that hunter
