LARGE AUDIENCE
GREETS STUDENTS’
'‘Princess Fragoletta,” Color
ful Play, Presented by Stu
dents of South High
lands School
"Princess Fragoletta,” a tuneful,
oolorful, and elaborately-staged fairy
play In three acts, presented by the
Music and Dramatic club of the
South Highland school, with 258
pupils In the cast, was greeted by
an audience that filled every avail
able seat at the Jefferson theatre
last night.
The production, in all of Its phases.
—dancing, singing, costuming, ^tnd
acting—was far above *thc ordinary
atnateur offering, and much credit
is due the directors for successful
“Hipporlromlng” of the entire 4cast.
Elizabeth Mosrs was exquisite In the
title role and spoke her lines with
much expression. Mack Travis as
Prince Ivor personified the part with
manliness.
Weird, the wizard, who Is respon
sible for enchantments and who
makes the russ and then settles it
with his magic wand, was well
played by ^Terence Maekln. John
Cobbs, as the King, was good, and
the Queen was excellently played by
Marguerite Towns and Virginia Jef
ferson, each alternating In the part.
Nathan Friedman played the part
of the page and dainty I^ollie Latham
was • the woodcutter’s wife. Marie
Glenn, Helen Stringfellow, and Flor
ence Friedman were the ladles In
waiting. Charles Coleman, ns one of
the woodcutter's sons, created out
bursts of applause as he*—a little fel
low, barely old enough to enter
school—spoke his lines and sang his
song with gusto. Alice Bond, Lin
coln Newfield, and Mary Haralson
very excellently played the parts of
the woodcutter's children, which in
cluded little Charles.
The marionette dance by little Miss
Nappl In the second act was one of
the most attractive features on the
program. The dance and songs of
the eight black-face boys created
much merriment. The ballet girls,
clowns, dwarfs, and shepherds all
sang and danced faultlessly.
Miss Hortense Jacobson and Mrs.

5,000 People Gather To
See Woodlawn Baby Parade
By MIGNON HALL
Talk about something cute! It was that baby parade given yesterday
afternoon out at WoodTawn by the Woman’s club. It was meant to em
phasize Baby Saving week.
It was a postponed event from last week, and just 5,000 people_that
was all—were present to look upon the beautiful sight.
in1' arrair negan on the lawn or
the Woodlawn hospital and between
150 and 200 Children, in as many dif
ferent costumes and colors, trudged
in it. Those who were too small
rode in the baby buggy section, and
had difficulty in being trundled
along, so many people there were
who wanted to rush and say pretty
things to them.
Leading the parade was the nlftlly
uniformed band of the Boys Industrial
school, and bringing up the rear was
the Woodlawn Central Grammar
School band.
The Idne-np
Four motorcycle police officers in
uniform and four plainclothes men
marched near the front of the pa
rade, while Mrs. J. M. Hankins, presi
dent of the Woman's club, led the
little folks.
As the parade trooped into First
avenue awaited by**eit.izens and visi
tors who lined the sidewalks, all traf
fic ceased. The street cars did not
even run, and everybody stopped to
admire the curly haired and tousled
locked little ladies and gentlemen as
they swung pudgy legs and dimpled
arms forAvard and laboriously tod
dled the distance down to the Wood
lawn High school campus.
On this greensward a judge's stand
had been erected and the bitty folks
went right up to this first. They then
made a huge circle and came around
to the grandstand a second time,
when awards for the best costumes
and for the best decorated baby bug
gies were made.

" nhi n nara jon had Mrs. L. A.
Glared, supervisor of art In Birming
ham public schools and Miss Con
over. teacher of art In the Woodlawn
High, to say which were the loveliest
« I all that splendorously arrayed lit
tle group. Surely this was the most
unique costume! No, there was an
other equally as good. Finally when
the headachy question both for the
• ostumes and the oaby buggies was
decided, the results were as follows:
Prices
The first prize was captured by
the little daughter of Mrs. Joseph
Yaugrfn. who rode in a lovely carriage
decorated to represent a great white
swan.
The second prize in this division
was captured by Mrs. T. E. Vann’s
little child. This four-wheeler
was beautiful indeed, a pretty swan
being at its back. It was all in pink.
The third prize was won by the
little child of Mrs. Rush.
As to the costumes, these were the
winners:
First prize, the little daughter of
Mrs. L. II:. I'rquhart, who was dressed
as a butterfly.
Second prize, Dorothy Strong, who
wore a yellow daisy costume.
Third prize, the little son of Mr.
I and Mrs. J. F. Truck who was dressed
a> Uncle Sam.
I The following received honorable
'mention: Spurgeon Robinette. Mary
j Elizabeth Vann, who. was dressed as
a small cupid; (Jordon Hankins who
was Sir Galahad; a little bridfe and
groom, and two children who took
the part of the Gold Dust Twins.
The awards were in the form of
bank checks from the Woman's club,
arid were delivered by H. Frazer
Banks, assistant superintendent of
tho Birmingham public schools, who
made a short talk concerning the
bond issue.
Three little clowns led the parade.
They were followed by the beautiful
: oung chap who had adopted the role
of Sir Galahad.
May Day Fet«»
After the little youngsters had
j how n themselves off and been most
!loved and squeezed to pieces, there
followed a beautiful May Day fete in
which the Kennedy, Gibspn and Cen
tral school children participated.
ri lie.it' were whirling, fancifully al
luring dances, and a queer Dutch
| dance which elicited much applause.
A feature of great interest was a
pageant, "The Call of Progress,"
which stressed the importance of the
l oud issue and which was put on by
Kennedy school. In this, children
lame rushing in pell mell to empha
size the crowded conditions of the
school. Then a realistic scene was
Maged by the kiddies, which showed
| Dr. C. B. G’tT'hn and the board of
1 education at their offices worrying
over the problem of such crowded
conditions and other school obstacles,
| but without money to meet the issue.
[The pageant closed with a terse il
lustration, by placards, of how much
money other cities aro spending per
! capita for their youngsters. Bir
mingham's record of expenditure was
lowest of all. "Progression" then ap
peared to tell what it would mean for
ihe future of Birmingham if the bond
issue was voted.
Little Miss Frances Hankins ^irn
ished a most diverting reading "The
Doll’s Dancing Lesson," in which an
audience of a dozen dolls o fall kinds
I was used.
Balloons and Caps
After the fete, the parade and the
speeches were all over, the Woodlawn
campus looked like children's day at
the state fair with balloons of all the
pastel shades flying and with the
youngsters wearing unique kiddie
caps. •
These ballons and caps were con
tributed by generous citizens to the
success of the event.
Mrs. HanWns gave a stirring ad
dress at the close of the remarks
I y Mr. Banks. She particularly
[stressed: %
"These children are our Jewels—
i.ur jewels and those of our neigh
bors. We want, as a club, all you
fathers and mothers to think se
riously of what you are going to give
them in the way of education as they
grow up. Are you going to give
them the best by voting for the bond
Issue, or must they be made to wait
and be deprived of opportunities?”

Federal Reserve Bank Direc
tors Agree in Optimistic
Statements and Hard
ing’s Guiding Hand
"I see ahead an era of 10 years of
prosperity in the Sixth federal dis
trict,” said Joseph A. McCord, chair
man of the board of directors of the
Sixth Federal Reserve bank, at a din
ner given the board at the Country
club yesterday afterooon by the iBr
inin^ham Clearing House association.
Guest of honor was W. P. G. Hard
ing governor of the federal reserve
board. Plates were laid for the offi
cers and directors of the Birmingham
banks that are members of the clear
ing house.
Prior to the dinner meeting was
held of the Sixth district board with
Governor Harding in executive ses
sion, at which affairs of the district
bank were discussed. It was a stated
meeting and was held here incident
to the visit of Governor Harding to
bis home town.
Following members of the district
board were here: M. B. Wellborn,
governor; James A. McCord, chairman
of the board; Oscar Newton of Jack
(i«n, Miss.; Leon C. Simon of New Or
leans; J. H. McCrary of Decatur, Ga.;
W. A. Hartford of Nashville;' Lindsay
Hopkins of Atlanta; W. H. Retting
ol Birmingham, who is also chairman
of the local branch bank, and John
K. Otley of Atlanta.
Col. Tom O. Smith, vice president of
the Birmingham Trust, whose new
banking house was visited by the
board and highly praised by them,
was toastmaster. Thomas Bowron.
president of the Clearing House as
sociation, was chairman of the com
mittee of arrangements. Luncheon
was served in a delightfully c*ool din
ing room.
McCord Optimistic
Mr. McCord said: "The Sixth dis
trict contains the second largest
population of any. It has more ports
than any district and among them
are two of the largest in the coun
try. We went through two stenuous
years, but now we are on terra
firma with recovery here. The pro
cess is slow and gradual, but it la
sure.
“I have noted with special satisfac
tion this spring that farmers have
beer, buying fertilizer for cash. Our
acreage in cotton is being increased
10 to 15 per cent. If the boll weevil
lets us alone we will fare finely and
r.ur grade of cotton will be the best
In years. I see an era of 10 years of
prosperity ahead. Much of th© suc
cess with which w <• have emerged
out of the depression in good form is
due to the guiding hand of Mr. Hard
ing.
"We are proud to be able to show
there were only two bank failures
amoTiK member banks of the Sixth
district bank since January, 1919, one
in Alabama and one in Georgia. One
cf these, the Alabama bank, has since
paid back In full and the other will
do so. The district has a good record
and we should be proud of It.*'
What Bank Did
Mr. Wellborn also paid a tribute to
Mr. Harding as the guiding star of
the federal reserve system. "The de
pression is not passing; it has passed.
The sun of prosperity shines over our
district. There have been few fail
ures. Owing to the liquidating of
•jebt by borrowers the reserve of the
Sixth district bank has reached 81
•*er cent compared with one of 19 per
cent. That the bank served to Its
utmost is proven by the fact that it
lent first all Its capital, then all Its
surplus and reserves and then bor
rowed nearly $50,000,000 of other
banks to help the district tide over
the difficult period and care for the
situation.”
“Most Maligned Man”
Colonel Smith, in introducing Mr.
Harding, spoke with feeling of his
having been the "most maligned man
in the country.” He declared that
when the country was at height of
its danger, God in. His wisdom had
come to Alabama and g«tten the man
most needed in the financial crisis
then at hand.
Mr. Harding was greeted with cor
dial recognition by his friends and
associates in former days and sev
eral tini'S in his address referred
feelingly to his old home and de
el red that he would eventually come
hack here. He gave a graphic de
scription of the status of this country
eight years agu when in the flash of
an eye it found itself the mainstay
of the allied forces.
The hour came with a small army
and lack of every preparation for
war, but the crisis was met through
the Inherent strength of a peace-lov
ing nation. "Who would have
thought,” he asked, “that we would
raise $25,000,000,000 in two years?
Who cougd have conceived us
in a record space of time furnishing
the men,.the arms and the food neces
sary to carry on and win that great
fight?”
Mr. Harding 4hen rapidly went over
the difficulties attend! 0- the rein
statement of the machine of peace,
which is opposite to that of war. In
passing he retVfred* to the flexibil
ity of such terms as shortage Vof
product taken in connection with de
mand. showing that demand does not
always follow a shortage.
Bank* Are Trustee*
When the crisis arose, the banks of
the country had to handle it with
the mpney entrusted to them in a fi
duciary capacity. The situation was
most difficult. In the panic of 1919
loans and discounts 01 all the nationa'l
banks in the country amounted to
only $50,000,000. In the two hard
years of the post-bellum depression
the loans and discounts of the Sixth
federal reserve district alone reached
$200,000,000.” The officials of the
Sixth Federal District bank demon
strated their ability to handle a very
difficult situation.”
The speaker verified the state
ments of Messrs. McCord and Well
born with regard to str.tus of the
Sixth District bank and its services
and then made a brief reference to
his home city, which he said is fast
“taking on a metropolitan aspect.”
He realised that the world was
familiar with Birmingham as a pro
ducer of iron and steel products, but
he wished it knew more about Bir
mingham in what it is with respect
to its schools, in its social life and in
its home life. Closing he said Bir
mingham’s residential section was
the nucleus of one of the most beau
tiful in the country.

“GREATLY EXAGGERATED”
IS TERM APPLIED BY
EAVES TO GASTON CHARGE
No change in the work of the
Red Mountain sanatorium of the
Anti-Tuberculosi* association of
Jefferson county is pxpected to
be made in the near future, ac
cording: to a statement made yes
terday by Dr. George Eaves, sec
retary of the nwsociution. It had
been rumored that resolutions to
close the doors of the sanatorium
had i»ecn spread upon the minutes
of the association but this was
stoutly denied by Dr. Eaves.
Dr. Morris Newfield, former
Dr. Morris New fled, former
president of the association, and
nQW a director, stated that ac
counts appearing in the dally
press indicating that the doors
of the Kaiiatorinm solid be closed
shortly were “greatly exagger
ated” and in part untrue.
Both Dr. Eaves and Dr. May
field maintain In their statements
that a committee has been ap
pointed to map out the future
plans of the association and will
make recommendations as to the
operation or the closing: of the
sanatorium when they report.
“No resolutions have been
spread upon the minutes that the
sanatorium Is to he dosed,” said
Dr. Newfield, “hilt a committee
will investigate and if they say
close it the association will fol
low their recomme'hdutions.
“An nrtiele appearing in The
Age-Horuld signed by Dr. Cecil
Gaston wus greatly exaggerated
by him In reference to closlug the
sanatorium.”
The following was the state
ment issued by Dr. Eaves:
“In view of rumors Hint Red
Mountain sanatorium will he
abandoned. It is perhaps ihe j
proper and wise thing nt this
time to say that a committee was
elected at the recent meeting of
directors of the Anti-Tuberculo

to bring in a report on the course

Dr. Glenn
Dr. C. B. Glenn, superintendent of
city schools, declined to grant per
mission for a series of anti-bond
meetings in the schools, in a letter
yesterday to J. 1*. Morris, chairman of
the Citizens’ Volunteer committee. He
stated that “unfortunately our pres
ent school buildings are largely with
out auditoriums and such meetings,
therefore, cannot be held in the
buildings."
In making the request that op
position speakers be given equal op
portunities in the schools, Mr. Morris
stated that he had been informed that
a series of meetings had been arrang
ed in favor of the bonds. Dr. Glenn
replied that although no meetings
have been arranged by his office,
local school improvement associations
and parent-teachers associations are
holding meetings from time to time.
"Close the schools until after the
bond issue is over," was the slogan
sounded yesterday by Hunter Arm
strong in meetings at the First
National bank corner and in Kast
I*ake. He stated that the children
are not learning much during the
campaign and that they are causing
friction with their parents.
William Vaughan and P. M. Carlisle

addition to Mr. Armstrong. Several
