NINEPIN CLUB
 GRACEFULLY PRESENTED

An annual event, looked forward to by the friends and patrons of the Margaret Allen school. is the group of plays given each spring under the direction of Mrs. M H. Ruff. The series opened Friday, March 4. with play given by the de- partment of Mrs. R. G. Rives, composed of the seventh sixth, fifth and fourth grades.
 The play, "The Ninepin Club" was pre- sented in a creditable and pleasing man ner. The stake setting represented the schoolroom of girls boarding school, where a club was holding a lively meet ing. The plot of the play centered around the incident of an unpopular classmate who was not club member. Her popu- larity develops as the play progresses. This part was gracefully played by Flor ence Young. The role of the teacher, who. disguised as an old woman, regu- lates the club, was well acted by Louise Novins. Louise Weakley, as president Of the club. did most effective work. The members, Katherine Massey, Virginia Ad- ans, Margaret Calhoun, Rosa Wilson, Minnie Allen, Clarisso Ragan, Anna Meade and Elizabeth Robinson, did their share to add to the interest and credit of the play.

 I appeal to every member of the di- vision to interest herself in locating and notifying. those entitled to this recogni- tion, and to give wide circulation to the enclosed announcement through your lo- cal and county press.

fcrred to other homes. there being an excess of capacity over inmates in the 10 national homes of over 5000 persons. A bill recently introduced by Senator Works of California, Union veteran, and a noble hearted, patriotic gentleman, provides for the turning over of the Johnson City Home, wnicn mas a ca pacity of 2266 persons, to indigent ex- Confederates, their wives and widows, and transferring the present inmates to other homes.
 At the Savannah convention United Daughters of the Confectionery. Mrs. Cor nelia Branch Stone of Texas, former president general United Daughters of the Confederaley, made a motion, which passed unanimously, substantially as foi- lows:
 That Congress be requested to extend the same aid to the homes of the south ern states as it is now giving to north ern state homes, viz: $l00 per capita. The bill of Senator Works appropriates S3O0,- eco for this purpose as against $1.1oo.000 to the state homes of the north. Mrs. Stone. in her remarks, very properly said We are asking not charity, but justice.' The south has paid her pro rata of nearly s5,O00,0oo000 since the war, for pensions and support of National Union homes and it is but proper that we should have government aid for our indigent, afflicted inen and women. General Estopinal of Louisiana, a Confederate veteran, intro- duced the Works bill in the House. Both he and Senator Works deserve our sincere thanks.
 You are requested to communicate im- mediately with the Alabama senators and the representatives from your district, urging them to do all they can to se- cure prompt and favorable action upon the Works bill.
 The president general of the United Daughters of the Confectionery has affixed her signature indorsing this movement, which calls for the united effort of all United Daughters of the Confederacy chapters. Her indorsement imposes effort on your part as duty.
