DIR. EVANS TO
 TALK AT LUNCHEON


 Dr.. W. A. Evans, health editor of the Chicago Tribune, former commis- sioner of health of Chicago and past president of the American Public Health association, will deliver an address at a luncheon to be given at the Tutwiler hotel at 12 80 p. m. Monday, March 1O, under the joint auspices of the Fede- rated Women's clubs and League of Women Voters.
 His subject is to be "Hew to the Line-the Waist Line," which should be of much interest from the standpoint of personal hygiene and especially to those who are burdened with excess weight, as well as those undefweight. Much importance is now placed by the medical world on this subject, and per sons carrying excess weight, which IS commonly the result of indiscretion in diet, are regarded as inviting disaster.
 Added interest is attached to the com ing of Dr. Evans to Birmingham be- cause of the fact that he is a native Alabamian and, like Gorgas and others, has become famous for his achievements in the field of public health. Since 1911 Dr. Evans has been health editor of the Chicago Tribune and professor of public health of Northwestern uni versity. His articles on health and re- lated topics are carried regularly by some. 60 or more of the largest daily papers.
 Dr. Evans is actively interested and engaged in various branches of civil welfare work in Chicago, being a member of the Chicago Tuberculosis institute, Chicago Infant Welfare society, Chicago Crime commission, Chicago Society for the Prevention of Heart Disease, the Chicago City Planning board and one of the board of directors of the Illinois Social Hygiene society. The luncheon will be open to the public as well as members of the various clubs.
 Reservations for the luncheon to be given in honor of Dr. Evans may be made by telephone at the headquarters of the League of Women Voters, Hill man hotel, or to Mrs. Louis Mackenzie, district chairman of the health commit tee of the Council of 'Women's clubs, telephone Ensley 293-J.

This is mock convention time in

Coolidge has already been nomi-
mated is not a matter Of record,
but his victories are growing num-

No man in national political life
is quite safe from the academic

Once in each college generation
comes this playing with practical
politics. When it began no one
knows.
The first nominee at Oberlin was
Abraham Lincoln and that early
hotbed of abolition has been turn
ing out presidential nominees at
the rate of one per quadrenniunl
ever since. 1t is a matter of pride
for the staid conservators of ira
dition in most colleges that their
conventions shall foreshadow in
their chief nominee the work of the
real convention few weeks later
This does not, however, discour-
