MARY's LITTLE LAME

Mary was the proprietress of a di- minutive incipient sheep.
 Whose outer covering was as devoid of colOring as congealed atmospheric vapor.

 One diurnal section of time
 Which was contrary to all pre- cedent--

FIRST MUSICALE
 WELL ATTENDED
Birmingham Artists Fea- ture Program At South
 side Church

The series of musicales planned by the Music Study club of Birmingham, featuring a number of Birmingharn's noted musicians, began Sunday night at the Southside Baptist church, Every seat in the church was filled for the occasion and ushers for the musical were forced to turn away a great num- Der who arrived too late to secure seats.
 The musicians were introduced by Frank Willis Barnett, who presided at the musicale. In the musical serv- ice were Mir. Harry Schmidt, violin i; Mir. George Detlefsen, violin; Mir. Lud- wig Stoere, viola; MT. Walter Cross man, cello; MT. Max Leichsenring, flute; Mir. Owen Gillcspy, tenor and Mrs. Maggie McCarty Logan, piano.
 Sunday night, "The Harp Serenade" and Indian Love Song" an arrange ment by Fritz Kreislef were among the violin numbers. Combined instru- ments played the "Allegro Assai" from Quartet No. 12, in c Minor, and an old plantation song, Angel Gabriel,' a special arrangement by, Pochon.
 Each musicale will probably last an hour and half and will be made up of the numbers that have been played in, Birmingham on the tours of the leading American artists.
 The efforts of the Music Study club in these musicales markS the first com hination of leading Birmingham ar fists, each of whom have many musi- cal laurels to their credit, according to the arrangement committee. Harry Schmidt studied at the. University of Berlin and at an early age played for the Symphony Orchestra of Helsingfors, I inland. He also studied at the Con servatory of Dortmund. George Detlef- sen attended the Brahms Conservatory for a number of years. Ludwig Stoere also has conservatory record, and several varied years of experience in opera work and symphony orchestras. Max Leichsenring studied under the famous George StOlte of the German conservatory in Hamburg.
 The large attendance for the first of the musicales insures their certain success, according to members of the committee on arrangements.

Head of u. S. C. of C. Says
Trial of Government and
Business Will Reveal
High Standards.
Predicts Farm Prosperity

Chicago, March 19.--Government
and business are on trial m Wash
ington today and business and indus
try welcome that trial, julius II.
Barnes. president of the chamker of
commerce of the United States. de-
clared in an address tonight before
the regional conference Of the savings
bank division Of the American Bank
ers' association.
"Fair-minded Americans will rec
ognize that single instances OF un-
scrupulous conduct in business does
rot blacken the great record Of hon.
orable conduct he said. Modern
business must be endowed with in
tegrity and character as Well as patti
ence and restraint. America will
realize out of these trials that the
ethics and standards of both business
and government are manifestly higher
year by year.
Should sift Rumors.
''It is time to sift rumor into
facts: every responsible clue should
be run down, but with that sober
sense of responsibility which discards
love of gossip and repudiates partisan
political advantage. Relentless prose-
cution Of the guilty, but protection
also against unjust aspersions, should
be the cornerstone of free government.
Weeks of headline Washington in
vestigations have disclosed such little
deviation from high standards in gov
ernment and industry that these few
exceptions should tend to strengthen
the general confidence"
Checks Fall of Franc.
Discussing world industrial condi-
tions, Barnes declared that 'the most
spectacular and significant event
since the armistice was the announce
ment by an American banking house
that American credits were available
to check French currency demoraii-
zation.'
The general European settlement
presaged by the announcement carries
great promise to American industry
and the American farm, Barnes said.
adding that there Is finally the team
play between government and indus
try for which American business has
pleaded during the last five years.
Europe, he predicted. will copy
the earning methods Of America and
the increased earning power in
Europe will lift the lebts of war.
