Rivalry Keen For Vacancies On Department s
 Double Quartette- Members Practice Daily

Rivalry is keen among members of Birmingham police department for the two vacant places which now exist on the departments double quArtette, and As a result there is, at headquar- tefs, q liberal sprinkline of vocal effort often confused with the wailing of some drunk lansuishink behind the bars of the city's free hotel. j, Two crack members of the quartettt have been assigned to detective work which takes the greater part of the waking time, and they have been forced to resign, thus the vacancies.
 There Is much sentiment and much romance attached to the formation and subsequent development of the musical organization of the Birmingham police department.
 The quaftette sprang into voluntars being some 10 months ago when d mem. Der of the force was killed in tragic accident, and fellow members of the de. partment volunteered to sing at tho funeral of their dead comrade. Since that time not a member of the force, oi any of their kin, have been laid te rest without accorhpAnying music by the quartette.
 Get Many EnkakenAAnts
 Soon after its organization Rev James A. Bryan, pastor of the Third Presbyterian church. asked the quAr. tette to sing at his Sunday service. Tho invitation vas accepted and since that time many other engA Asements have been filled, with the result that Birmine. hams police quArtette has become well and fAvorably known to lovers of music throughout the entire city.

 The request for ( recount was made by Df. D. P. Pruitt, one of the de. feAted candidAtes, through Hugo Black, his attorney, who stated. that approxi. 'mately 62S illegal votes had been cast during the election, this number hAvinG been discovered in 129 different ballot boxes. Mir. Black did not make any charges of wilful fraud, but said he thought the illegal votes had been due to ignorance or carelessress on the part of individual election officers, He pointed out that there was q difference of only 133 votes between those recelved by William J. Waldrop and W. B. Copeland, his nearest competitor fot fifth place on the board of revenue, and that the 625 illegal votes cast might easily change the result.
 Opinions Vary
 The meeting of the executive com. mittee lasted all morning. Several members spoke in favor of the pro- posed recount and few against it. It was finally decided to leave the legal aspects of the matter to special committee consisting of the lawyers included in the executive committee, who went into executive session iHhrae. diatAly.

SUMMER SCHOOL
 OPENS TUESDAY
Enrolment At Birming- ham-SOuthern To Eclipse
 Former Seasons

Advance registration to Birmingham Southern college summer school, which begins Tuesday, July 10, points to a record enrolment for the session which lasts six weeks, coming to a close July g. The second term will last five weeks, in accordance with the plans outlined by the state board of educa- tiOn. This calls for five days of recita- tions per week for the first period and six for the second.
 In announcing plans for the 1924 summer school, Director Roy F.. HOke predicted that it will surpass all pre- vious sessions of its type, because of the increased attendance and the added courses and new features.
 The courses offered will be outlined primarily for teachers in the secondary schools who wish to do certificate ex- tension work and for students who de- sire to get off special credit courses for a degree.
 Special Coaching School
 A Masters degree can be secured by college graduate who completes three summer school sessions and writes the necessary thesis. This has long been one of the attractive features with Bir- mingham-Southern.
 One of the drawing cards for the summer school this year, Director Hoke stated. is the special coaching school under Coach Harold D. Drew, new head of athletics. This is attracting large numbers of students who desire to get the fundamental principles of coaching in order to be prepared to conduct a department of this type in the secondary schools.
 The library training school, under Miss Lillian Gregory, college librarian, is also an added course this year. It is one of the first to be established in southern summer schools, and is said to be proving popular.
 Recreation and social activities will be stressed, according to Dr. Hoke. A trained leader will be in charge and will prepare an attractive schedule for boarding students. Educational courses will also receive special attention this year.
