by the endorsement of MT. o. l.. Bum and the chamber of commerce, the junior chamber of commerce, and the mems clubs iii general. Mrs. Neil Wal lace, chairman of the Speakers commit tee, was met with courtesy and ap- proval wherever she or any member of the committee went. She wishes to thank every speaker who assisted ner ill getting over the message of the exhibit.
 To the Women's club and other wom- ems organizations who assisted us in advertising the exhibit in their organi- zations and communities, and also served as hostesses. we express our heartfelt thanks. Mrs. Dora Bell and Mrs. J. M. Minter were the efficient chairmen of the hostess committee. Mrs. Fell reports that many hostesses gave as much as one or two of their entire days. The league deeply appreciates this cooperative spirit, and pledges itself to reciprocate when called upon for community service.
 The interest in the exhibit was enlivened by the valuable prizes given by the manufacturers every hour, and the grand prizes every evening and at the end of the week. Mrs. Charles A. Fiske asssited by Miss Annie Floyd, had charge of the prize committee. The cheerfulness, justice, and sweet spirit which pervaded the awarding of the prizes speaks much for the efficiency of these chairmen. They extend thanks to Messers Hancken, Alley, Whatley, and Porter, who were noted for their distinct carrying voices and aided much in landing the prizes in the right places. The prize committee was aided much, too, in having the beautiful, intelligent little 5-year-old daughter of Mir. and Mrs. C. E. Jaynes, to draw the tickets for the prizes. June Jaynes always drew tickets so that there would be no questions of favoritism, although she wanted to give a prize to everyone.
 Much of the good fellowship and gleeful spirit of the evening sessions was due to the splendid musical pro- grams and features arranged by Mrs. c. B. Jaynes and Mrs. D. W. Colby. Everyone knows the psychological ef- | feet of good music on a crowd. To the city commission for the Municipal band, to Dr. J. 0. Dawson for the Howard College orchestra, to the Avondale Mill band, to the Carrie Tug gle Institute band and chorus, and the choir of the Sixteenth Street Baptist church, to the Phillips High school or chestra, and to/the executive commit tee of the Musicians federation for their kind cooperation, we send note of gratitude for helping to keep evey- one happy.
 Mrs. Brenton A. Fisk, and Mrs. Dora c. Fell were co-chairmen of publicity, and with the assistance of the news Ia. k41 I the people of Birmingham and Jeffer- son county about the exhibit, that we could scarcely take care of the crowds.
