PROGRESS MADE

 Work
Encouraging progress was made Fri

Encouraging progress was made Fri day in the drive for Million for Mon- tevallo,' Mrs. D. F. Bucks, chairman of the women's division, announced Fri day night at headquarters at Loveman, Joseph & Loeb department store.
 "No official figures can yet be given out" said Mrs. Bucks, although the unofficial reports made by the few teams already heard, from in prelimi- nary reports, show that we have a col lection over $15,000."
 It was said Thursday that $150,000 had already been contributed to the cause of the Woman's college, but Fri day it was explained that this, figure was little overestimated, as it was only guess on the part of the leaders of the drive. By Friday, however, this figure was over reached, and they are now well on the way towards the Jef- ferson county goal of $30O,OO0. Two weeks remain to collect the other half of the quota, and at the present rate, and with most of the teams still un- heard from, the quota will be obtained we'll within the allotted time, officers said.
 Two LuncheOns Held
 Two luncheons were held Friday in the interest of the drive, one of the special women's committe under the chairmanship of Mrs. Crawford John son at the Country club, and the other of the American Business club at the Tutwiler.
 Mrs. w. l.. Murdock spoke on ''The Education of Women," and Mrs. Louis Underwood spoke on "Woman's Place" at the Country club luncheon. W. E. Mitchell and Mrs. Bucks addressed the Business club and heard the reports of the teams of that club. Of the nine teams, only four handed in a report, showing that over 5000 had been Ob- tained in subscriptions. Of these four teams that of H. E. Cox, ex-president of the club, had collected over $500.
 Mir. Mitchell also spoke to the Shrin- ers' club, asking for their support. The matter was referred to the executive committe of the Shriners for action, and favorable reply is expected with in two or three days, MT. Mitchell thought.
 Advertising Plan
 The plans for campaign advertising on Saturday have been completed. Ma jor w. V. NJ. Robertson, commander of the 106 observation squadron, Ala bama National Guard, will lead the three aeroplanes from the aviation field shortly before 4 o'clock to fly over the city and county dropping descriptive pamphlets and leaflets. Several speak CTS will probably be at the theatres during the afternoon performances. Mrs. Bucks will speak for few minutes be- tween the acts of Merton of the Movies," being played at the Jefferson theatre by the all-stGr Jefferson play CTS.
 It was learned Friday that the Boy Scouts of Birmingham will be called upon next week to help in the drive. What their contribution to the success of the drive will be has not been dis closed, but it is thought that a novel advertising stunt will be used to bring the needs of the college before the. people.
 No more of the prizes that have been offered to workers by Birmingham stores, have been awarded since Thursday. The onyx dinner ring set with a diamond, offered by Red Lawson, is still to be won, as are the negligee from Augusta. Friedman, the hat from Hirsch and the floor lamp from Pizitz.
