 DELIGHTED WITH SELECTION
 OF MRS. ADAMS s
 The League of Women Voters is re- ceiving many, congratulations over the recent election of Mrs. W. J. Adams as president for 1925. It is felt that a k wiser selection could not have been made. Mrs. Adams has been identifiel with public affairs and club life in Birmingham for a number of years, and has done more than any other one per- son for the advancement of community music, being the source and inspira- tion of the movement here. She is a woman of charm, intelligence, and ex- cellent presence, and possesses the gift of making many friends. In addition she has a lively interest in the welfare of the city and county, and is fearless and courageous. The. members of the league feel that in her capable hands their high standad of good government and unselfish politics will be borned forward in the service of the people and will be kept spotless.
 Mrs. J. M. Hankins, who has given yoenlan and unflagging service to the league as president for the past two years, will be the new first vice pres- ident. Other new officers are: Mrs. E. J. Burns, second vice president, Mrs, IL. F. Johnston, third vice president, Madeline Jacobs, publicity becretary, Miss Josephine Harris, secretary, Mrs. W. D. Colby, treasurer. Mrs. Johnston Mrs. Burns and Mrs. Colby, as well as Mrs. Hankins, are workers of abil- ity and experience. It is a pleasure to league members to note the election of two young college women, Miss Jacobs and Miss Harris, as officers, because it is the desire of many of the league leaders to interest the younger women in politics, so that they will be trained to carry on the W0rk as It IS urOppeO by the older hands.
 TWO NE WBOARD MEMBERS
 Mrs. Hankins announced at the last meeting the appointment of two new members of the executive board-Mrs. R. DuPont Thompson, who will serve as chairman of the newly created Liv- { ing Costs committee, and Mrs. H. R. Shell, who will be in charge of the leg islatiye committee. Both are women well known in public affairs and ad- mirably fitted by years of experience to handle the jobs assigned to them.
