Seminary Girl Wins D.
 4. R. Prize

For the past two weeks the semi nary has been in flutter of excite mont and curiosity concerning the prize awarded on February 2S.
 Mrs. Estes, regent of the Sumter chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, offered some months ago symbolic brooch of gold and enamel. to the girl, who would write the best thesis on "The D. A. R. and What It Has Accom- plished." The essay must be origi- nal, historical and definite.
 Fourteen seminary students entered the contest with genuine enthusiasm and on February II. the appointed day, they sent in their thesis to the ability of the contestants meant a close call. hence conjecture was rife as to the fortunate girl.
 February 2S was the presentation day, so on Wednesday afternoon Mrs Estes and other members of the chap ter found an excited audience in the seminary chapel, all eager to learn the decision of the judges.
 After two brilliant piano numbers and song, Mrs. Estes in her most gracious manner anhounceod that the prize had been awarded to No. To. Who was No. 10?

SOCI E T Y
Committees Herald the Coming of Miss
 Taylor

With Mrs. Nabb acting as chair
 man. the success of the Angy Man
 ming Taylor lectures is fully assured.
 Under her capable managership many
 heralders have been appointed who
 will see that these lectures are given the proper publicity in all parts of
 the city.
 For the past several years Miss
 Angy Manning Taylor has taught
 Bible lessons in the city, and all who
 heard her were so delighted that
 they have told others and they oth-
 CTS, too, till there are so many de- siring to hear her. it was thought best to have her speak in one of the downtown churches. Dr. MacSporran extended the invitation last year to the First Presbyterian church and was such a gracious host, opening the meeting each morning at II o'clock with prayer and song, mak- ing all ready for Miss Taylor's les son. We are again accepting his in- Nitation. Beginning Tuesday. March 6, at II o'clock, Miss Taylor will give four lessons the first week and five the second Ono lessons on Saturday..
 Mrs. James G. Smith, heralder to young people, is arranging a meet ing for them on Sunday the time and
 place to be announced later.
 Miss Taylor does not come under the auspices of any church or denom- fnatton, but as free agent, not only to the whole body of Christian work
 CTS of our city and district, but to any who seek comfort and have found it not. She is old-fashioned ..s.enough to believe in the word, ..sssLost." Her desire is, as she stands .sbefore her audience, holding the open Book i'll her hand, that we forget the s.speaker and hear the Word. She 2 feels that in this day of unbelief .swhen so many are doubting, the great important need is that we read 'sthe Word: that we need not a new ..;sreligion, but to have better under .sstanding of the Bible.
 '..e Mrs. Nabb and her committee are ..working for full auditorium at each lesson. Every one is welcome !, At a recent meeting at her home .:the following heralders were ap- pointed: Mrs. O. l.. Drake of High .,lands Methodist church. to make an- 'snouncements of Miss Taylor's Bible ..readings to all the clubs; Mrs. Pate, Ito the public schools; Mrs. Hugh Me- .'Donald of the Southside Baptist church. to the 56 Baptist churches in the district; Mrs. Elliott, to the Methodist churches; Mrs. Ruffin Smith, to the Episcopal churches; Mrs. R. M. GoodaIl, to the Christian fchurches; Mrs. James G. Smith, to .the young people; Mrs. Frank Jones. ito the Presbyterian churches; Mrs. ". r. McAdory, corresponding secre- ,tary; Mrs. C. E. Ratliff, publicity schairman.

Terrible Old Recipe Just Up And Won First Prize

Now what would you do if your club was having salad contest, and one of the members wished off on you, who didn't have a salad, one that she had given up as hope less? And what would you do if that very salad won the prize, a beauti- ful hand-painted mayonnaise set? Would you be willing to render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars?"
 That is what happened to Mrs. P. P. Burns Wednesday at the Twentieth Century Housekeepers club. when she won such prize with Mrs. E. N. Wheeler's cast-off salad.
 wonder If this club is known to all the housekeepers of Birmingham !? If not, they should make haste to get acquainted. The members call themselves the Twentieth Century Housek eepers club, and they should have added advance model" for their activities in recent years have put them in that rank. tEnthusi- asm" is their slogan, and to talk to any one of their members Is to know that it is being lived up to.
 And where did this unique club have is origin? Why, in so small d thing as little girls lunch bas- ket. It happened back in 1913. Mrs. w. r. Motion of East Lake was in- terested in the fixing of lunches for school children. She had thought more or less about 1t for several years. and one day, by chance, she lunch basket. A soggy biscuit and a hard-fried egg formed the piece de resistance of that poor little un- fortunate's lunch. For weeks. hard fried eggs and soggy biscuits weighed heavily upon Mrs. Notions mind. They became a veritable al- batross about her neck.
 She finally began to formulate plans for open warfare on lunches whose chief distinction lay in the headachy stupor they visited upon their victims. She called together her friends among the housekeepers of East Lake and asked them to become allies in this great conflict. In this manner the Twentieth Gen. tury Heusekeepers club had it's birth.
 At that first meeting. Mrs. w F.. Motion was reelected president; Mrs. J. M. Shelpurne, secretary; Mrs. w.. M Griffin and Mrs. T. R. Eagles, program committee, and Mrs. J. w.. Beasley. Mrs. P. r. Burns and Miss Haywood Motion, membership com mittee.
 At that meeting, also. tho follow ing resolutions were drawn up, and have been set down on the opening page of their artistic brown and yellow year book as the purpose Of the club:
 To make housekeeping an inspir- ing profession instead of deadening drudgery.
 To make the daily work in the home of fascinating interest. instead of monotonous labor.
 To make housekeeping easier and simpler by utilizing modern science in the home.
 To make the household money go further that the higher things of life may be included.
 simpler by utilizing the higher things of life may be included.
 To preserve and increase health. and thereby promote happiness and finest possibilities.
 To develop children mentally, morally and physically-to their fin est possibilities.

One Of DR.. McDonalds friends last

The many friends and patients who
are to lament SO great a loss should be
aware OF the fact that 1t comes as the
result Of fatigue consequent on many
years unself1shly devoted TO the care Of
human ills, in which the mastery
craftsmanship of the operating surgeon
was equaled only by the infinite pains
taking human kindness OF the man.
I'm a word. DR.. Mcdonald has died in
the line Of duty and on the field Of
honor, Just as have died so many other
geons, and. other public servants driven
by conscience and high endeavor."

Celebrated POLE
TO LECTURE HERE
Count Korzybski Will Speak Mon.
day and Tuesday Nights
on His Theory.

Count Alfred Korzybski, famous
Polish engineer and philosopher.
whose concept of man as the time
binding class of life" has caused
much discussion, both in this country
and abroad. will give two lectures
here this week.
Count Korzybski will speak at $50
o'clock tomorrow night in the as
sembly room at the Cosmos Club, and
at 81 o'clock Tuesday night at the
home of Prof. David Fairchfld of the
Department of Agriculture, 1881 Con-
necticut avenue northwest.
Subject for Monday.
"The Anthropometer, Worl1 Pace
and Modern Science" will be the sui
ject of the Monday night lecture.
Tuesday night, at Prof. Farchild's
home, Count KorZybski will speak of
his concept of man as the tima-
binding class of life. Both affairs
will be by invitation.
According to Prof. Cassius J. Key
ser of Columbia University. distin
guished American philosopher, who
has given the weight-of his approval
to the Polish engineers views, Count
Korzybski is the only one who, i'll the
thought of our time, has asked The
question: Have we humans just
concept of man?'
Count Korzybski believes that the
characteristic faculty of humanity.
the time binding faculty. whereby
one age is bound to the other by
mans ability TO start where his an
cestors left off. is not an effect Of
civilization, but its cause.
What Might Have Been.
Civilization might have advanced
in accordance with this law. and had
It so progressed our world would
doubtless now own A civilization SO
rich and great that we cannot imag-
inc 1t today nor conjecture ii nor
even conceive II in dreams"
Count korzybski will explain his
