SOCIETY WOMEN LAUDED
FOR THEIR GOOD WORK

Mrs. j. A. Rountree during her visit to
Mobile, where for the last week or two
she and Mr.. Rountree have been pleas
antly entertained, was quoted in a charm
ing interview by Adelaide Kennedy, who
pronounced Mrs. Rountree's chief inter-
est the Red Cross work, referring to a
miners families and others helped by this
miners famies and others helped by this
organization. But to one who is in touch
with the manifold charitable and civic
affairs in which the women of Birming-
ham are so helpful, the following senti-
ments from Mrs. Rountree seam espe-
cially timely.
II just want to say one thing about
Birmingham women,' she remarked.
Our ultra-fashionable, our real society
women who supposedly are the idle rich,
are the busiest women in Birmingham.
We have absolutely no idle women. Why,
to ask woman what she does or what
she is working for is the most embarrass-
ing question imaginable, providing she is
obliged to say nothing. They are ashamed
to say such a thing. They are all doing
some good for the community Many are
engaged in settlement work, many in
Red Cross work, and various lines of en-
deavor, but they all do some good.
Suffrage? Well, yes, / am a suffragist,
although am not an active worker. My
heart and soul are with suffrage, for l
believe that when women are recognized
as they should be, it will moralize the men
instead of demoralizing the women.

of life. There is always some great good

Eleanor Carey Who Plays Aunt March, in Little
Women" Actress Of Rainbow Personality
by DOLLY DALRYMPLE

Had you forgotten your Little
" omen?"
And
Did you wonder as you sat in the JEFF
ferson yesterday at the matinee or for
the evening perforcanoe whether "Jo'
really did marry the professor"
And
Did you weep when Beth" died, Just
as you wept when you were a little
bitty," years and years ago. when you
read Louise NJ. Alcott's fascinating book :?
Well
They were all there--your old time fav-
orites-Jo, Beth, Meg. and Amy; Profess
sor Bhaer, old Hannah, old Mr.. Laurence,
and Aunt March," the family "scold."
How you must have wondered as 1 did
at the BEST Seller of many decades ago,
being done into such charming play,
and bringing you face to face with the
characters in book, which countless thou
sands have read and "sniffled over
laughed, and cried over
The Little Women" have just stepped
upon the stage as it were, to live and
breathe and frolic and you keep saying
TO yourself how you wish the trials and
tribulations of the March" family might
have been given expression long ago,
and they would have been if it hadn't
been for the opposition of the Alcott
family, who took years to be brought
around to see things as they are.
Prominent in the excellent caste of
Little Women" is Miss Eleanor Carey,
who plays the acrimonious, sharp, shrill,
Aunt March,"
She's just as different from the charac-
ter she portrays, as black is from white.
Miss Carey is essentially of the "old
school" of acting to be sure-when Fanny
Davenport, Agnes Booth and those
geniuses trod the boards in talking
with her, your curiosity naturally be-
comes excited to know just how she drift
ed into playing the 'crochety' Aunt
March of Miss Alcott's vision.
Searching for an emblem of Miss Carey,
you arrive quickly at the-rainbowl
She is particularly reflective medium.
She flashes back a smile;
She holds suspended a tear;
Sensitive, she reflects the conditions
about her
Original, she reflects the thoughts and
emotions of a strong yet easily moved
nature.
Like the rainbow who is brilliant.
Like the rainbow her personality is
elusvei
The seven-shaded ribbon spanning the
sky has no more colors than she has
meods-each different-each distinct from
the rest.
Perhaps the color which is most domi-
nant in Miss Carey's nature today, is the
heliotrope;
For
She is no longer young-not IN years
but in heart and grace of mind she still
retains her youthfulness.
Her years and her sweetness and her
charm suggest the shade of heliotrope-
that old fashioned color-that old fash
ioned flower-for she seems to have
stepped out of the past, as it were-and
planted herself in modernity's soil
where
'She takes old world liberties, with
New world ease
Has but to please herself-the
World to pleasei''

P|NCHOT WARNS
AGAINST WATER
POWER TRUST
Concentration of Control of
UndeveIoped Property Shows
Alarming Increase, He Says.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia sharp
note of warning against the concen-
tration of the control of water power
was sounded to-day by former Fed
eral Forester Clifford Pinchot before
the National Conservation Congress.
He said:
In the last five years the concen-
tration of control in the ten greatest
groups has increased about seven
times faster than the total of all
water power development in the
United States. The ten greatest
groups have increased their control
of undeveloped power in the last two
years more than twice as fast as their
control of develooed power. In ten
states one company, and in seven
states two companies, control from AZ
to SO per cent of all the developed
commercial water power and in fif-
teen of these sovereign States every
one of these companies was organ
lied or recognized within the last
three years
If this is not a monopoly in the
making, where can il be shown? Com
mercial power to this degree is politi-
cal power, and there lies the greatest
danger.
1T is argued that concentration of
water power control is increasing
faster than power development be-
cause high risks and low returns keer
capital away. But according to the
figures published by one of the ten
greatest groups of power interests, IN
the past ten years the net earnings
of gas and electric companies of the
United States have never fallen be-
low Sc against 425 per cent for rail-
roads and 40 per cent for industrial
corporations

Old Pete lost eight or ten teeth
and a lot of energy trying to bite a
chunk out of piece of cast iron; he
has bumps on his body where sundry
persons whacked him with a broom
stick, and his neck is sore because
others threw ropes about him and
tried to choke him.
The only happy moment in an aft
ernoon OF torture came when he
swished his tail suddenly and upset
a negro who got too near. A great
hope shown in ePte's eyes when the
negro fell--the blacks head wasn't

The big gator opened his mouth

Edward Boyd who takes care of the
animals at the park ana knows more
about alligators in general and Pete
in particular than any other man in

drained the pool. Then, with his legs
encased in high rubber boots. he went
in and chased Pete up the bank. The
little alligators were half buried in
the mud.
