.KIWANIANS ENJOY
 EDGE WOOD 0UT |NG
Members Of Four Clubs In District Hold Barbecue
 Picnic Thursday

More than 250 Kiwanians of the Birmingham, Fairfield. Ensley and Bessemer clubs left their desks Thursray afternoon and went to Edgewood park, where the day was given over to barbecue, games, danc- ing and other entertainment. A light shower shortly before noon did not dampen the spirit of the clubs ana before noon many of the automobiles were parkedsin the grounds for the afternoon.
 The program started promptly at o'clock when delicious barbecued meats were served in the open, along with all the fiXings characteristic of a barbecue. Brunswick stew and large platters of barbecued beef, pork and mutton were served, with plenty of soft drinks and coffee.
 Not forgetting Constitution Week, Judge Hugh Locke made short speech following the dinner on the constitution. He said '"The school of thought lead by Alexander Hamilton was to create a government, while Thomas Jeffeson's purpose was to create a government and to prescribe the powers of the constitution. That paper really created our country and gave our country to us. We rarely

 Q O O
 Games Are Enjoyed.
 Immediately following Judge Locke's talk, everyone gathered at the club house where games were en- joyed First was the secretary's race, which George Grain, secretary of the Birmingham club, won by close margin. Joe Halfpenny also ran. Next a three-legged race be- tween the clubs was won by Jack Krahenbuhl and George Huston of the Bessemer club.
 Two heats of the women's egg race were held with Mrs. Gene Ire land and Mrs. Harris winning the handsome jewelry offered by the club and presented by Ed Leighton. championship race was not run be- cause of the scarcity of eggs at the park. so many being broken during the affair.
 The kiddies came in for their part of the games when peanut races were staged for the boys and girls. Robert Mccullough was winner among the boys and Miss Martha Sparks of the girls.
 After the races and games were disposed of a tug-of-war was pulled between the four clubs. Ensley easily overcame Bessemer's heavy weights and Birmingham had little trouble in disposing of the strong men from Fairfield. A lively pull resulted when the Birmingham and Ensley teams matched weights, but after vigorous heel digging and much outside coaching the Birmingham Xii wanians edged the Steel men over the line.
 The afternoon was then given over to dancing, quoits and other amuse- ments.

BRYAN NOT HERE

William Jennings Bryan is not talk

This unusual condition. he ex-

affairs with politics,
So far AS could he determined. no
Indiana politicians have called on
Bryan. He usually is the center Of
political activity when in Indianapolis.
Indiana Democrats are not en-
