SUMMER SESSION
 OPENS AT AUBURN
Many Enroll For Second Six z Weeks

CIVIC CLUB HEAD
 IS VISITOR HERE
Harold M. Harter, Ex- change President, Talks
 To Local Club

Harold NJ. Harter of Toledo, O., sec retary of the. National Exchange club of the United States, was the honor guest at the weekly meeting of the Bir- mingham Exchange club in the Tutwiler ballroom Monday afternoon. Mir. liar ter declared that while there are about 60 so-called civic clubs in the United States, the vast majority of them are purely local and sectional in their na- ture, but the Exchange club is strictly national in scope, with more than three hundred clubs in every state in the union and the District of Columbia. He declared the Exchange club was one of the four most influential of the so-called luncheon organizations in America and cinfined its activities strictly to this country, no effort hay ing been made to extend it outside of the United States.
 Mir. Harter has visited Birmingham several times within the past few years The Birmingham club, which was or ganized four years ago by him, was the first invasion of the south. Since that time, however, clubs have been formed in every southern state and there are almost twenty in the state of Alabama. Complimenting the Birming- ham club upon the service it had rem dered the community and in the man. ner in which it has co-operated in every movement for the civic betterment of Birmingham, Mir. Harter declared that the influence locally of any organiza- tion depended upon the standing of the club in it's own community. There are more than, fifteen thousand active mem bers of Exchange clubs in the United States.
 William T. Warren, chairman of the Exchange club committee in the Ala bama college campaign, reported prog. ress and stated that several teams had completed their work. The canvass in the Exchange club territory is expected to be completed within the next few days. At the next meeting, the national convention, which convenes in Nashville in September, will be discussed. Plans are being made for about sixty members of the local club to make the trip, ten of them going by aeroplane as guests of the members of the local squadron. The attendance prize, donated by Henry Watson, was won by H. B. Bradley.

SPORT IN MEXICO

Mexico has done a good days work in forbidding by law the sale of arms and ammunition except for sporting pur- poses. The legislative action is taken at the instance of the Mexican war de- partment in the interests of maintain ing peace in land too often distrated by foray from the course of settled in. dustry. Now the trouble will be to de- fine narrowly the meaning of sport and compel millions of illiterate peons to abide by the definition. To the kind of Mexicans who rode after Villa there was no better sport than plundering a hacienda, machete or revolver in hand The hard-riding rurales of Diaz could not stop them. It is going to take con. siderable policing to get them to shoot iguanas and coyotes instead of success. full ranchmen. - Philadelphia Public Ledger.

on real or personal property owned by those who are charged with the short ages. A $2,000 bond will cover a DOT tion of the shortage laid to W. H.

Lehman, former department clerk, is now serving a sentence, has been made good by the surety company that bonded him.

Hopkinson Smith, certified public ac- countant, selected to do the work. Mir. Smith is in the east on business, but is expected home Wednesday, it was learned at his office.
