Dispatches from the London stock exchange re-
ported a black week IN all American railroad secur-
itics. The Engshmen had been reading the Inter
state Commerce commissions report on the New
Haven road They regarded it as a typical picture
OF American financial methods.

But thc diplcmatsts do not escape publicity by their

For this reason it is often the finest diplomacy

 This was too much for Billy Bunting.

A message which will be of widespread Interest to the United Daughters of th' Confederacy has been received. It reads My Dear Daughters:
 Since the summer. with it's pleasures ant recreations, is past, l hope all our chap ters are ready to begin active work witt renewed zest and interest, and with the determination to make this, what eact succeeding year should be, the best ir the history of our organization. It is true, that because of adverse conditions arising from the dreadful European war, with it's holocaust of death and destruc- tion, our organization, like all others, will be seriously affected. Yet, we must remember that today we have 800 more Members, b U. D. c. and nine C. of C.. chapters in excess of those at this date last year, and with this increased mem bership, increased interest and increased effort on the part of each and every mem- Der. we should be able to overcome many disadvantages and to accomplish fully much, and perhaps even more, than last year. But remember, dear daugh- ters, that our success as an organization will depend upon the individual member,
  adverse conditions with greater effort, greater determination and with some sac liice of self for our cause.
 With the exception of six official trips within the states, your president has spent very busy summer at her desk, writ ing, thinking and planning U. D. c. work.
 Since the May convention I have signed 2S2 certificates of membership and char tered three new chapters, viz: Forrest Sansom chapter, Goodwater; John w. Jones chapter, Cropwell, and John w. h. ger chapter, Springvlle.
 My correspondence indicates unusual &C., tivity on the part of many chapters throughout the state. Two of these are planning to place markers of very special historic interest, and should they appeal to you for assistance we hope you will give them your cooperation and generous assistance.
 The General U. D. c. convention will be held in Savannah November 1l-14 inclu- siye. 1t should be matter of state pride to send splendid report and large delega- tion to this convention.
 Mrs. Tate, treasurer general, has sub mtted list of IS Alabama chapters whose general dues have not been paid Please investigate and see if your chap ter is one of the IS; if so, you should meet this obligation without delay: other- wise, your chapter will be deprived of representation and our division record marred by failure on your part. If not already paid, general dues, 10 cents per capita, should be sent to Mrs. A. L. liar Ian, treasurer Alabama division U D. C., with instructions to credit to your chapter for general dues for 1914
 AS soon as credential blanks are re- ceived they will be transmitted to chapter presidents. According to the general J.. D. c. bylaws, article 1, section 3. page 4s7. New Orleans minutes, they shall be

T bet she wouldn't be any hotter in her own kitchen cooking dinner for/20 people than she is right now buckled up in that winter suit in September"
 q know Sally Bugg said plaintively. "A mere man can't realize her position, but she is actually getting more satis- faction out of strutting around in that new winter outfit than the Kaiser is out of the European war;
 You wouldn't admit it for the world" Billy Bunting said seriously to his com- panion, but you women are perfect geese thus to play to the hands of your ene- mics, the dressmakers, the tailors and the shopkeepers. Time was when you had but two seasons to wrestle with the clo nes problem, but now somehow there i season every two or three weeks Why a woman thinks she's disgraced if she wears her straw hat after September 10, no mtater what the weather's like and winter hat after March 15 is worn with an air of apology to the world at large for such defiance"
 But it's such harmless amusement" Sally Bugg insisted.
 'I warrant that the husbands of these silly women who do such things don't think so," Billy Bunting protested. "rhe married men I know tell me that it is serious business, this increase in wom- ens wardrobes.'
 'I thought men were too broadmnded to say such things" Sally Bugg defied.
 '"rhe worst of the whole thing s,'' Billy Bunting informed, that the women don't know what they are missing. They ought, if they wish to please the men, cling to white frocks as long as they can. for a man thinks a woman looks her very pret- tiest in all white-pure and stately as a lily"
 Then o. Henry's story of the girl who was a vision of lace and November vio- let's doesn't appeal to you, eh? asked Sally Bugg.

Canning Small Cucumhers

T send a recipe for canning small cu- cumbers. It is splendid way and have used it for several years: Gather them small and wash well; put into fruit jars and cover with salt water six or eight hours; drain and pour boiling vinegar on them, leave over night. In the morning pour off the vinegar and heat to boiling. Put spices on the pickles and then over all pour the boiling vinegar until the jar is overflowing. Have the rubbers hot and heal. They are ready when needed They are excellent. MRS. A. M. C."
