OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
". THE CITY OF AN Ideal,


There are many cities thruout the
width and breadth of this great coun-
try of ours that stand for nothing in
particular. There are many others
that stand for everything. Both va
rieties are characterless. But there
is a goodly number of splendid old
places that really do radiate some
definite spirit, some special virtue;
that hold fast to grand old traditions;
that have character; that repre-
sent an ideal. Richmond, Boston,
Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Fran

great names. There are more of the
smaller towns that have and hold this
charm. Where this quality is found

Noted Evangelist Says Sincerity Best Way To
 Win Souls

John Brown, who will conduct months revival service at the munlc- ipal auditorium beginning January 4, is considered the country's best-knoWn evangelist outside of Billy Sunday. Like Sunday, he offers strong appeal to the working classes, but his methods and sermons are altogether different. He speaks without excess show or emotion but the honest sincerity of his mes sage leaves an effect far more lasting than had his delivery been more osten- tatious.
 MT. Brown is another educator and orator who has become famous through his own efforts. He began work in a lime kiln at Rogers, Ark, about 40 years ago. An ambition to study brought him, through application in spare moments, fairly general educa- tion and while still in his teens he de- cided to take up evangelistic work.
 Salvation Army Drummer
 His first step in the new field was that of a drummer boy for Ensign Olesen, a Salvation Army leader who was conducting covered wagon" through the western states. Under Olessen, Brown received the first train ing for his later work and when the evangelist paused at Siloam Springs, a small town in Arkansas, he stayed on and established a mission there. The impression he made in has talks before small groups at the mission gradually began to spread to other sections of the state and on numerous occasions he was asked to speak in other cities.
 At twenty-one MT. Brown was elected president of Scarritt college at Nesoho, Mo, an Ozarg institution financed by Kansas City people who wanted to give the children of the hill countries a chance to get the education they needed and, at the same time, work. During his success at this college he made tours into other parts of the country as an evangelist.
 The night of July, 1919, while speak ing at Long Beach, Cal, Mir. Brown evolved the idea of n college for chil- dren who had no money to meet even tuition fees. Two months later the John Brown college was opened at Sloan Springs with 100 students and faculty of ten teachers--all from the best colleges. The institution was if nanced largely through. the donations of the evangelist who gave his home, farms lands and stock valued at more than $60.000.

SCHOOLS PLAN
 SAFETY DRIVE
Captain Brent To Aid Principals In Move
 Here

"Stop-School Traffic Squad" is a sign which many Birmingham motorists will see immediately after and before school hours at dangerous crossings near every school when the traffic plan, now nearing completion, is inaugurated to insure safety for school children.
 These signs will be placed into the hands of older school children, accord ing to the partially drawn plans of Dr. c. B. Glenn, superintendent of schools, and Capt. W. w. Brent, of the traffic squad. Training for the selected traffic school cops has been under the charge of Captain Brent.
 Details of the plans will be worked out within the next two weeks when Captain Brent will visit many of the danger scenes and confer with the vari- GUS principals.
 This plan of school traffic squads is working out successfully in several other cities of the south, where certain dangerous crossings and patrolled i'm. mediately before and after each school session. by older, reliable students. Sponsors of the plan for the Birming' ham district expect unusual results. The idea, according to expectations, will be in operation about the middle of December.
