Services To Be Held In Audito-
 x-Governor Among Speakers

ATHENS, Ala, May 29.-(Special.) The commencement exercises at the Athens college came to a close Thurs day night and marked one of the most successful years the institution has eyer had, this being the eighty-first com menceEent.
 Speakers during the exercises were Or. II. H. Shearman, Nashville, Tenn; Mrs. Mary Norman Moore Mccoy, Nashville Dr. Claud O'Rear, Tuscaloo- sa, aid ex-Governor B. E. Conner.
 An outstanding feature of the renl- nations during the week was the state ment made by Governor Conner during his address to the graduating class that he was going to make a donation of $l 900 to the institution. Governor Comer pleased his hearers as did each of the others that appeared from time to time.
 Mrs. Mccoy spoke. on Sunday night to a capacity house. She will always be welcomed by the. citizens of Athens for she is recognized as one that has done as much or more probably for the city in an educational way than any one. who has ever had charge of an eaucat ational institution in this section.
 At the conclusion of the exercises, announcement was made by Dr. George Reed, pastor of the First Methodist church, Florence, Ala, and president of the board of trustees of Athens college, that the board had reelected the pres ent president, Dr. B. B. Glasgow for the coming year.

temper, infinite conceit and highly ar tistic temperament, who expects to make her fortune as heroine in mu- sical comedy and quarrels with her fiance, well-to-do lawyer, because he doubts her genius and disproves of her theatrical longings. When young plumber, "1Kempy" by name who has been called to repair a water pipe, tells her he has read her book aud been so inspired by it that he has vowed to win the author,y she impulsively i'm sists on marrying him on the spot, and presents him to her astonished family, just as lover number one returns to seek reconciliation?
 From this moment on the compilca- tions come thick and fast and when it is learned that "Kempy' really loves the younger sister--but is married to the older sister and that the impulsive girl really loves beau number one-the situations become SC funny that many will recall the famous and laughable love scenes in ''The First Year" and the final, curtain will bring the real ization that they have witnessed a great play.

RIGHT OF CITY TO ALTER RULE
 GAINS SUPPORT
Wynn Inclined To Doubt Necessity Of Legisla-
 tive Act

Stock of Hunter Armstrong's forces, who are leading a drive to change Bir- mingham's form of government. took a jump upward Thursday when City At torney W. J. Wynn declined to uphold the view of other city hall officials that further action by the state legislature is necessary to bring about the proposed revision.
 City hall forces had taken the posi- ton that the legislative act authorizing the city to change its form of govern ment failed to provide the necessary machinery for making the change and that reform forces would have to wait four years until the assembly meets again.
 Mir. Armstrong had challenged this view and declared that the present law clearly gives the city full authority to act.
 The city attorney was asked Thurs day to settle the argument.
 II would not want to give a definite opinion until studied that act careful ly," Mir Wynn said, but I believe the act of the legislature intended to vest authority in the city government to go ahead and change the form of govern ment if the voters declared fer a change. The whole matter may turn on the con stitutionality of the act, which was approved by the governor after it had been closely inspected by expert at torneys at the state capitol"
 Regarded As Favorable
 MT. Wynn's statement, while not def. mite, was regarded as highly favor able to the Armstrong forces, who now declare they will begin the circulation of petitions for a city-wide referendum early next week.
 The days development caused more or less uneasiness in certain city hall quarters and the news that the Jeffer- son County Voters league had indOrsed the proposed change to the aldermanic government did not tend to brighten the situation.
 Armstrong is confident that the 5000 signatures necessary to call an cleo tion can be obtained within three or four days. He is equally confident that the voters would declare Overwhelm- ingly for the proposed change
 The various sections feel that their interests would be best protected if an alderman from their immediate vicinity were sitting in the city hall at coun- cil sessions" Armstrong declared They feel that the aldermanic form of government is much more responsive to the wishes of the people than the commission form
 Fight Is Certain
 It is certain that determined fight will be walked by the advocates of the present form to retain it. In fact, ad- vance preparations were put under way as soon as the city attorney held that considerable doubt exists as to the nec- essity of waiting four years to bring about the suggested change. =.
 As matters stood Thursday night, the situation was fast shaping up for one of the most spirited political contests yet seen in Birmingham.

Meet The Doctor Skit Headlines Unusual
 Program

: A juggling act. singing skit, two comic dialogues and an net combpa- ing dancing and strong man fents are being presented at the Lyric theatre during the last half of the week.
 Stan Kavanaugh and company p:e- sent an unusual juggling number. This act is unusual in that Kavanaugh does not depend entirely upon his juggling ability for applause, but has line of humorous batter that does much toward giving strength to his act. His work is all done with Indian clubs and ten his balls. He features the latter by marking time to music by bouncing them on the floor.
 Polly and o., singing songs written especially for. them by Lew Brown, proved entertaining to the audience Both their act and, "A Girls Weight, " presented by Dolly Grey and Bert By ron, got off to a weak start. Prauti- cally no applause was given, when they made their first bows, but As the ac's progressed they gradually gained the interest of the audience. A song by Miss Grey proved so popular that she repeated the chorus.
 Carson and Willard headlined the bill in Meet the Doctor" The, set is ar ranged solely as comic skit With one of the men acting as famed pub, lie speaker and the other as chairman, introducing his partner to the audience, this pair won considerable applause.

Local People By the Score In-

A great many people feel reluctance in giving a testimonial for a medicine. although they have derived benefit from it's use, as publicity is more or less distasteful to them. To a great extent this is the case of Mrs. S. F. Parks, '2121 Eighth Avenue, North, Bir- minghsm, Ala, who is naturally of a retiring disposition. However, to use her words, she feels that she would be ungrateful if she did not tell others what HERB JUICE, the famous stom- ach remedy, has done for her. To quote her language in a conversation with the HERB JUICE man:

And now we are to see the famous comedy "Kempy" as it is to be pro- duced next week by the versatile All Star Jefferson Players with Russell Fillmore in the famous characteriza- tion of "Kempy." Since The First Year" was received so enthusiastically the Jefferson management decided that they would bring "Kempy" to Birming- ham and obtained a special release of this late comedy which was the out standing success of Broadway last sea- son. ts
 'Kempy" is a slice of life itself with a pleasant mixture of sentiment and merriment, and fine undercurrent of family loyalty. With Birmingham's own favorite, Russell Fillmore, it should be perfect entertainment-the variety that always packs the theatre-as the honey atmosphere-the quaint humor- the delicate love story-is so perfectly blonded that one forgets he is in the theatre-and lives with the fascinating characters in the play.
