Will
Aid Illiteracy
Campaign
beginning Friday, March Fl

DECLINING Friday, March Fl,
- and continuing one week a
state wide campaign for il
literacy will be launched with
the club women of the. state, taking
special interest in the work, for there
is not state or national problem in
which the women of the state are more
interested and about which they do not
seek information. Realizing that state
funds are inadequate and that county
funds are limited, the club women of
the state propose to raise several
thousand dollars this week through the
sale of illiteracy stamps and buttons.
Time makes illiterate children into
illiterate adults. There are in the
United States today 100000 native
born citizens. They were weak spots
in our public school system of genera
lions ago. Now the time is ready to
stamp out illiteracy, but. funds are
needed, hence this drive, in which men,
women and children of the state will
work untiringly in their efforts for the
good of the cause.

~ spring weddings took place We'd
nesday afternoon at o'clock, when
Miss Allie Crumpton, daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. Henry Tolbert Crumpton of

a lovely program of nuptial music was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Hewlett,

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. z.

Dorothy Lummus, in blue organdy, car
ried baskets filed with pink sweet peas.

er. She wore a handsome afternoon

VACHEL LINDSAY, distinguished
v American, poet, who lectures at the
city auditorium on March %, Is known
over the United States and in England
as the most effective platform speaker
among contemporary American au-
thors. In securing a representative
poet of the first rank to appear in
Montgomery, the Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs and the English Club OF
Woman's college chose Mr.. Lindsay
because of his unfailing success in his
public appearances. u"
Undoubtedly the poets most spec
tacular triumph occurred three years
ago when he won England as that con-
sentative island has been won by no
other American" author of this genera
ton, and he was lionized by the Eng
fish in unprecedented fashion. Mr..
Eindsay's work as a poet was not
alone sufficient to win such tribute |;
his work as reader of his own verses

account of Lindsay as a public speaker
is from the pen of Mr.. J. G.. Squire,
charming English essayist and critic,
writing in the London observer"
'''Three years ago Mr.. Lindsay Wis
tied England, and audiences in Lon
don, Oxford, Cambridge and the prov
inces heard him recite. think all
who heard him received a lasting i'm
preston of his sincerity, his vigor, and
his art. He suits the gesture of the
word, as an actor should; and since
many of bis words are vehement, so
are many Of his gestures. His voice
has an orchestral range; he can be
weird and remote as the meaning wind
or as thunderous as roaring human
lions. Z, -.
"If may be thus personal, he once
gave me a private recital in my house !;
and my children, who had slept like
lambs through most of the air raids,
came downstairs to discover what was
the matter. They found Mr.. Lindsay
in full swing, and number of usually
reserved and respectable British citi-
gems roaring, groaning and chanting at
his word of command. The most digni-
fed and supercilious of university dons
took no more than two minutes to be-
come Mr.. Lindsay's helpless = instru-
ments; he made those sing who had
never sung before.

self-consciousness, and the force of his
honest and exuberant personality is in
