 TO GET PRIZES IN UNIQUE CONTEST

 Of Cooking

The dumpling contest inaugurated by the Age-Herald has excited keen inter est and aroused the enthusiasm of Bir- mingham housewives. One lady called up at the Jefferson and inquired if an apple dumpling would be eligible. When informed that any type of dump ling would be acceptable she informed the theater attache that she had kept her husbands love by feeding him well and that he could always be jollied out of bad mood by her apple dumplings.
 Little Gloria Levinge, the child ac- tress who won a way to theater-goers hearts in 'Daddies" and who appears at the Jefferson next week in Daddy Dumplin's" has been appointed as one of the judges who will taste the dump ] lings Wednesday afternoon at the Tut wiler hotel. Arthur Byron who plays the role of Daddy Dumplin's next week is also a judge as is Tamzon Manker and two judges to be supplied by the | Age Herald.
 Everyone who enters this contest will | be given q free seat to the Jefferson The first prize will be an entire theater box and the second prize, four best main floor seats. The rules of the contest are simple: Just prepare your dump lings at home and bring a sample to the special dining room engaged at the Tutwiler hotel. They will be sampled and judged and the winners announced the following morning in the Age-Her. ald. You will be delighted at the clever comedy Daddy Dumplin's presented for the first time in the south at the Jefferson next week. This is the first dumpling contest held in the United States and the pride of the south s dumpling makers should be entered in | full force.

Readin', Writin' and 'Rithmetic, Soon To Be
 Order Of Day In Birmingham

Only one more week of frolic re- mains for the youngsters of Birming- ham before school bells call them to their books for another grind. Sep tember 15 is the day set for the re- sumption of study in the city schools. Two days later, the county schools will take up their work for the fall and winter.
 School >superintendents of this dis trict have been engaged during the past week in almost constant conferences preparing for the opening of the fall term These meetings have been pre- sided over by Dr. 0. B. Glenn, superin- tendent, and his assistants. Superin- tendents and principals of the grammar schools have submitted estimates of their enrolment. There will be sub- stantial increase, it is reported.
 Vaccinations for children who are just starting to school should be at tended to this coming week, according to the authorities, so that the sore ness will have. disappeared before school opens.
 The first two days will be consumed in assignments and in issuing the book lists. Book stores report that there has been a slight reduction in the cost of the necessary textbooks.
 Observe Territories
 Parents will be asked in an official announcement to be made during the next few days to observe carefully the territorial lines and send their children to the schools nearest their homes or tc the one especially designated in certain cases, so that there will be no delay in getting the children located. Those who attempt to send their children tc schools not in their territorial Tines will be- wasting time, the school au thorities say.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-07

Principals will arrange with their teachers for a sufficient number of them to be at the school on Friday aft ernoon, September 12 from to o'clock and again on Saturday morning from 9 to 12 o'clock to assist in classi- flying new and conditioned pupils.
 Children entering school for the first time should present birth certificates. The health department at the city hall will assist parents in securing such cer- tificates. A record of each birth cer- tificate should be made on the child's enrolment card, and the certificate re- turned to the parent.
 All schools will open at the regular hour and remain in session until the or ganizatiOn is completed. Before dis missal, textbook lists properly marked should be given each pupil and work assigned for the following day.
 Beginning Wednesday the full days sessions will be held except for chil. dren of the first and second grades who may be dismissed at noon each day up to October l.

Sanitary Sewerage Will Be Relief In Business
 Section

Bids will be opened at the meeting of the city commission Tuesday on the sanitary sewer system ordered for Bir- lningham's business district. Estimates of the cost made by the city places the amount involved at $30O.OOO.
 Commissioner W. E. Dickson stated Saturday that the improvement. when completed, will greatly relieve the pres ent congestion in business district sew craze. but that it is only q part of the relief work of this nature that eventu- ally must be done.
 The new sanitary sewer system will vary in its pipe diameters from an eight-inch main on to an 1S-inch, where 1t will connect with the county system in West End. It will serve that territory located between First and Fifth avenues and from Twenry-second to Seventeenth streets. When the need arises it will be paralleled by a similar system between Fifth and First ave- nucs.
 Because much of the excavation for the line will be in rock, Commissioner Dickson does not expect the sewer to be in operation before late summer or early fall.
 Another improvement. costing ap- prOximately $15,OOO, will be a storm sewer to be constructed at the same time the sanitary sewer is built. It will serve to alleviate the difficulties experienced in downtown businss houses in heavy rains, when, in the past, basements have been flooded.
 According to present plans, the con- tract will be awarded Tuesday.
