 NOTES EXPANSION
Thomas H. Hopkins Visits Mrs
 Woodward Here

Thomas H. Hopkins, former vice president of the First National bank of Birmingham and president Of the First National at Orlando, Fla, IS In Birmingham for a few days visiting Mrs. Hopkins mother, Mrs. J. H. Wood ward, on Highland avenue.
 Since June MT. and Mrs. Hopkins, have been touring Europe. MT. Hop kins, was in New York to attend the democratic convention, when his broth er1in-law, Senator. Oscar W. Underwood was being considered for the nomina- tion. Several years ago Mir. Hopkins severed his connection at the First Ma tional in Birmingham and went to Florida. He sold his interest in the bank there and has been travelling since that time.
 II have been interested in observing the signs of progress" said Mir. Hopkins which are so obvious to anyone living here in the past and returning after several years absence. There have been changes that are easily apparent and which are indicative that the future holds bright prospects for this com munity. There can be no question but what Birmingham is just beginning her real developments. There is evidence to the effect that Birmingham is cer- tain to become the real industrial sec ton of this country. Florida also IS on the upgrade. That state holds the vast opportunities to persons with vision and is rapidly becoming the playground for the rich peoplsof this country. Its future is exceedingly bright"

.MELBA PRAISED
 COMING SINGER
Compliments Claire Dux
 Whom Music Study Club Brings

In, recent interview with Claire Dux, the charming soprano, who ap- pears on the Music Study club course, on Nov. 24, discussion arose con corning envy and jealousy among art ists.
 But let me tell you a story about sn artists generosity" she said. This enc is about Melba. Back in 1914 was singing at Covent Garden in London and she was in the audience. Next day I received the most beautiful letter about how for once in her life she had learned something from singer. A little later she fell ill and asked her manager to turn over to me the dates which he had booked for her in South America and Australia. Shortly after wards the war broke out; her kindness went for nothing"
 The letter which expressed the ad- miration of Dame Nellie Melba runs as follows :: Dear Miss Dux: 5-.
 heard you sing in the Magic Flute" the other evening and l must thank you for the exquisite pleasure you, gave me. What beautiful singing, and what pity so few singers sing with such method. I shall. never forget it. Brava! de tout mon occur (with all my heart). I hope I shall have the pleasure of meeting you and telling you how much enjoyed your lovely sing ing.
 Your sincere admirer, .a.. NELLIE MELBA"
