May we remind you

May we remind you
/. That If you enjoyed the few
airs from "The CESSNA sung by
the gang" last night and 1t
would be hard to believe that you
didn'O before touching the set to-
night you will scribble a few words
on the back of a post card and
mail them to Roxy"
His mail IS his only applause,
and only by his letters will be
know whether his audience would
enjoy a more elaborate and per-
haps complete performance of light
opera.
For our own part, we would like
to organize a claque of postcard
cheerers that would insure us of
Capitol performance Of some of
Gilbert and Sullivan or 1.-THE Choco.
late Soldier"
Once or twice in the course of
our theater attendance there have
been occasions when We would have
enjoyed remaining quietly in our
seat for a few moments after the
fall of the final curtain.
The sharp return from the world
Of fancy across the footlights to
the noisy rush and excited chatter
OF the exit at those times was dis.
Quieting and offensive.
Last night radio allowed the priv.
ilege denied us in the theaters of
many people.
Z And we did remain quietly In our
chair until the transition from that
realm of dreamy imaginings to the
material world Of Teapot Domes
and politicians could be effected
gradually and without the rude.
ness of rushing mob.
Roxy and the gang presented a
performance that was to us as near
perfect as one may expect in q
world where there is no perfection.
There are, no doubt, better voices
and more talented masters Of vio-
lin and piano, than those that sang
and played last night.
But the gang, under Roxy's
magic wand, became a troupe Of
fairy minstrels who carried with
them Incompatible charm.
AS we try to think now Of some
one spot in the performance which
deserves special mention, we feel
lost. The Southern cycle-inter-
rupted, to be sure--the Geisha
songs, May Irwin singing "The
Bully" the trumpeting of De Ferro,
the quartet singing "The Rosary"
After some hesitation we select
"The Rosary" SO often murdered
by soloists, but sung superbly by
Roxy's mixed quartet.

RADIO WEATHER.
Reception from distant sta
tiOns tonight will be unusually
good throughout the Eastern
States and from the South
west.

Zealand, nearly 10000 miles and is
heard weekly in Hawaii and on
ships in the Pacific, no station in
Eastern United States has yet been
reported heard in continental Asia.
AS a portion of the songs and
speech will be in the Chinese
tongue and Chinese music will be
played it is hoped that the program
will bring a response from the
Celestial Kingdom.

REFERS LAUDS
 DEALSNVOLVED
 IN DEFENSE TEST
Appeals For Whole-Hea ed Support Of Nation
 al Plan

Major Lamar Jeffers, United States Congressman from the Fourth Alabama district, Thursday night made a vigor- ous appeal for whole-hearted support of the war departments National De- fense Test Day program before mass meeting of the Birmingham post of the American Legion at the Chamber of Commerce auditorium.
 Describing the test as a citizens in- yentory, Major Jeffers made detailed explanation and discussion of the prin- ciple involved in the contemplated pro- gram for September 12.
 x The governments test day next September is not militaristic move, an offensive gesture, thrust at for eign nation, or a political 'issue, he said.
 Would Increase Knowledge
 Formerly, only government of- ficials and army officers knew the strength or weakness of the military force of the nation,' he continued. "One of the purposes of the Defense Day test is to make this information every citizens knowledge. Again if 1t is interpreted by foreign nation as an offensive gesture or a thrust, that nation will give itself away as one antagonistic to the United States. And finally, the test has been made politi- cal issue only through the coincidence that it takes place during the presi- dential campaign, and that many peo- pie, eager to discover what the issues of the campaign are, seize upon the program. That it is an issue, how ever, has been disproven by public statements by the presidential nominees.
 Major Jeffers drew several analogies from life to illustrate the purpose of national defense, among which were life boat drills on board ship, fire drills in schools, and police protection against crime.
 1 Will Test Methed
 Certainly the bulk of the people of our country don't want crime, and to eliminate crime so far as possible, our police forces are maintained. It is equally as certain that we don't want wars. As a consequence, we have our national defense act of 1920, providing the best method ever devised to pre- vent wars. The method will be tested out September F, and at that time we can discover the flaws and correct them better than by waiting until trouble begins"
 Other speakers on the program were Col. Thomas s. Moorman, in command of the test in Birmingham, who spoke on "Test of Unit Organization Plans;" Col. John L. Sewell, who spoke on
