continue to trick or otherwise in
veigle unsuspecting banks into max
ing generous contributions to their
cause-a terrific toll which defies the
imagination. Bank burglars and hold
up men have apparently redoubled
their activities during the last six
months. The number of criminals
plying their trade in this field has
grown to such proportions that there
is now fair sized army comprising
this more desperate type OF criminal,

OPERA WIILOPEN' THURSDAY NIGHT
San Carlo Grand Opera Com pany Comes To Jeffer-
 son Theatre

The San Carlo Grand Opera com pany, which will come to the Jefferson theatre, March 6; z and 8, has probably done more for grand opera as na- tional institution than any other factor in the musical world today. With a personnel which comprises score of internationally famous artists, this or ganization, under the direction of For tune Gallo, impresario, has brought grand opera home to the American people.
 The setting whichs Mir. Gallo has provided for his singers is something which has not been attempted by any travelling company in the United States. Each opera has been surround ed with the proper atmosphere needed to successfully present it to opera lovers. Nothing has been overlooked the smallest technical detail has been cared for, so that those who will sec and hear the artists wa leave the theatre with the proper conception of the great works which the musical mas ters produced.
 Grand opera needs the proper set ting to be effective; !, and that setting is provided by the San Carlo Opera company, which has just completed triumphant seasons in several big Amer ican cities. g <

ORCHESTRA ENDS
 WINTER PROGRAM
Given Ovation In Masonic Tenn
 pie Sunday Afternoon

The municipal orchestra. with Cor. don Erickson conducting, gave its last concert of the winter series Sunday afternoon to a capacity audience in the Masonic auditorium.
 Miss Marion Stavrovsky, soprano soloist, received the same enthusiastic welcome on this, her second appear ance, as she did on her debut in Janu- ary.
 Erickson, in a short talk near the end of the program, thanked the public for its support during the series and urged everyone present to petition the city commission for larger orchestra and more concerts next season.
 It was needless to say that the or crestral program met with favor since it was made up of selections chosen from over 5O0 requested numbers.
 Miss Stavrovsky enthralled the house with her rendition of "Love, I Have Won You' (Ronold) "Ho, MT. Piper (Curran) "A Maiden's Yea and Nay (Gilberte).
 I. Taylor, cellist. shared honors with Miss Stravrovsky with his new instru- ment, judged to be one of the best Tn the country. .,
 "Song of Love" from Blossom Time (Romberg), which closed the orchestral program, was perhaps the best received, although other popular numbers were "Evening Star" from Tannhauser (Wagner), and the overture from "WI- liam Tell'' (RossinD.
 By special request the orchestra played '.An Indian Love Song and Miss Stavrovsky sang '"The Rosary as an encore to her own accompaniment on the piano.

IMPROVE CAMPUS
 ON SUNNY. SLOPE
Birmingham Southern College Making Roads, Walks And
 Parking Spaces

With thearrival of spring, the cam. pus of Birmingham Southern college is taking @6n a different appearance, and one that is said to be very pleasing to students and. friends of the school.
 Work on seven-foot walk, to reach from the front entrance of Science hall to the point where the College street pavement now ends, is going on at the present time, with the prospect of be- ing finished before the week is over. This will conect all the college build ings, the new Phillips library and Owen hall being between the above mentioned points. Students will be able to go to and from the college grounds to the nearby car line, with out having to put foot on the earth on any spot.
 Tennis Courts
 Recently the tennis courts. located in an accessible position on the campus, have been improved, with new back fences and the ground made smooth by use of large rollers. Wooden benches have been placed near the courts, and help to give the campus a park-like appearance.
 Grass which was planted some time ago in the plots in front of the library, will soon cover the bare area. Walks will be made so that there will be no necessary tresspassing on the grass, and will give it a better chance to grow.
 A change in the driveway from the Eighth avenue asphalt road to the col lege grounds, has recently been made for the purpose of increasing the size of the campus, and thus giving room for many features proposed for it. Parking Space
 A parking space for cars has been provided on the west side of the grounds, and this will be used in the future, so that the other areas may be free from cars plying to and fro, and interrupting classes in the nearby buildings.
 Another marked improvement is the filling of the hollow between the dining room and Andrews hall, new boys dor mitory, with dirt secured from Munger Bowl, the athletic field which is now being improved. The earth will be well packed, and a new walk will soon span the former hollow. This will save time and energy for the students who room in the dormitory.
