six dynamite guns were part Of the NUM-

Pinkerton detectives are said 10 have

the answer that they were for country
places up the coast. This satisfied the
detectives and they left.

The Coming Convention
Daughters of the COnfederacy

1T may not be very generally known
in Alabama that the Daughters of the
Confederacy-that roble organization OF
southern women, which has for ITS eb-
ject the perpetuTiy of southern history
and southern patiiotism-will hold ma
tional convention in Baltimore early In
November. In several states already
preparations have been made to attend
this convention by shc delegates from the
various chapters of the Daughters OF
the Confedelacy.
In the przsert deploraible condition of
Mobile ard Montgomery BECAUSE of the
distressing yellow fever epidemics there
can scarcely be expected full repre-
szntat.on from the local chap'te of these
cities. Every town in AlalSama has been
more or less densoralized by the spread
of yellow fever and consequently there
will be less interest f,lt and exhibited
. towards the approaching convention at
Baltimore than there would otherwise
have been In Birmingham there has
been, comparatively speaking little f.
yer excitement, and there should be an
active concern expressed by the women
of the city to be prop rly represented
ait Baltimore. Delegates should go from
abe -elham chapter and should be able
to report growing and fiourishing or
ganization of the Daughters of the Con-
federaley in this the largest and most
progressive city in the state. Next
Wednesday AFTERNOON at o'clock a very
important M, citing of the Pelham chapter
of the Daughters of the Colnfederacy
will be held at the home of Mrs. Robert
ID. Jotnst.n, Twelfth ave.. South High
dands, and every woman in Birmingham
who feels an interest in southern history
and traditions is invited to be present.
Those women already members of the
local chapter are urged to attend this
M ting on next Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. r. G. Lewis is president Of the
Pelham chapter of the Daughters Of the
Confederacy, and is giving to this ratr,-
otto organization all the earnestness and
enthusiasm necessary to bring about the
most fortunate results. Mrs. Lewis re-
guess every member of the chapter and
every woman feeling an Interest In this
cause-which should be dear to every
southern heart--to meet her next

How the Eighteenth
Century Woman Lived

While some men and women are rails
ing their hands in horror at the aggrss-
eiye femininity of today, and signing in
hopeless exasperating fashion for the
women of long ago." 1t is well to re-
fresh ones memory with historical facts
concerning certain species of the eigh-
teenth century females. OF course there
were women. and women, then as there
are at this present writing, but here is
what Grose says of one specimen in
1898, nearly century ago. He writes:
"When I was a young man there ex-
listed in the families of most unmarried

men, residents in the country, a certain
antiquated female, either maiden or

ivory-headed c1utch cana, and was fol-
lowed by a fat, phthisicky dog of the
pug kind, who commonly reposed on a
cushion and enjoyed the privilege of
snarling at the servants, occasionally
biting their heels with impunity. By the
side of this good old lady jingled

What the Fashion Writers
Say About Collars and Gloves

Whatever you decide concerning the
as to cut and color, pray be sure and
throw gayety and character into the
finishing of the collar. That is the sail
lent point in all dressmaking for the
season. Let the costume itself fbe as
sober as you please, but make the collar
"a touch so bright and unique that every
woman will give you a kindly lttle
glance of admiring envy in passing. But
above all things, and whatever you do,
let your collar of dress or coat be high.
Remember, that long-necked women are
very much the fashion at this moment,
and that the dressmaqasrs have been at
