neg coast defense works and itemizes

structed as against eight built last

auisition of site at Cape Henry for this
purpose. Appropriations of sl,s67,0 900 for
the purchase of other new sites for forts:
81. .000, 900 for ammunition for seacoast

ment which requires a long time to

May Ask Free Passage.
In a later dispatch the correspondent
says it is expected in Athens that
demand will be made for free passage
over Greek territory for the Bull
garian and German forces Which are
pursuing the allied troops.
1t is said unoflcially in Athens that
the Germans, IL they aspire to the en-

Cannot Demand Disarmament.
The Athens newspaper Neon Asty at
tributes the following statement to an
official source:
I'm any event the Bulgarians and
Germans cannot demand the disarma-
ment of the allied forces. Greece can
not and does not wish, to disarm the
allies. German diplomacy. which hither-
to has displayed perspicacity and COM
mon sense, will not demand of Greece
what 1t is impossible to give"
The retreat of the allies, the corre-
spondent adds. is being effected as
rapidly as the transportation of war
materials to the neighborhood of
struction of an intrenched camp is
being carried out rapidly.

Saloniki and Doiran has been left free
for movements of the allied troops.

Lacks Postage for Replies

q am an old crippled invalid-the poor widow of whom you told the other day. I have not walked a step in 12 years. I have received several letters and cards in answer to your appeal in the Corner asking for my address and other particulars. Won't you please pub fish my name and address in the paper : am too poor to supply postage for all the letters I ought to write to the kind women who wish to help me. They could then read the address for themselves and I would not be obliged to write more than once to each one.
 MRS. l.. F.. B."
 My dear friend 1t is not possible to comply with your wish without violat- ing one of the strictest rules of the Corner. Were we to publish one name the door would be thrown wide open to the publication Of 0 thousand. More over, one secret of the success of our work is that whatever is confided to us is 'in trust" Were the names and homes of writers made public we could no longer advise freely or bestow gifts where they are most needed. It is not to be thought of for a minute. An easy way out of the difficulty is for your well wishers and would-be helpers, to get your name and address from us and send to you what they wish, inclosing postage stamps for a single line of acknowledgment. Some friend or neighbor may write this in your name. do not like to think of your suffering for lack of aid we might render.

Each guest was given a tiny chick as a favor. At the conclusion of the game two of the latest books and box of cor respondence cards were awarded as prizes. Little Miss Margaret Turner and Miss Kathryn Turner, sisters of the hostess, presided at the dainty punch table. Other light refreshments were served at a late hour.

DREADFUL PAINS
 GREAT SUFFERING
Was the Lot of This Lady Who Tells the Story of How She
 Recovered Her Health

Dani-, N. c.-Mrs. Thomas Davis, of this pll 2. says; About two years ago, when Vas eighteen years old. was in a bad condition from womanly troubles. I fell off until weighed not more than S5 lbs
 I suffered dreadful pains in my hips, sides and abdomen for about five days out of every month.
 I couldn't sleep at night, and the pains were so dreadful I couldn't lie down, for the blood would seem to rush to my head
 I felt must have some relief for it seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me.
 l had read of what Cardui had done for others, and thought I would try it.
 After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep.
 After using four bottles I was a well woman, I was regular. I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs.; and am able to do all my work without any trouble.
 I certainly recommend Cardui to suf- fering women. for I know it cured me.
 My friends who saw me when l weighed s5 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardui had done for me-"
 Try Cardui.

"Is there some one of our great fam fly who has few church solos he or she would give away2 I am the mother of three small children, and feel that I must earn the many things they need. I am not able to buy them and I must use my one talent, my voice, to the best of my ability. l shall watch the Corner patiently and will pay postage upon parcels that may be sent to me.
 MRS. E. H. P''
 Choir singers and choir leaders will sympathize actively with the brave woman whe will not let her talent rust while she can use it for the good of those she loves. Her address is in our books. So many women give up entirely the practice of music and apparently lose all love for 1t after marriage that her example is refreshing.

Commissioner Geroge fB. Ward has
 become noted throughout the United
 States as having been more instru- mental perhaps than any other southern city official to push the "city beautiful' movement forward and put Birmin gham
 lon the map" in this respect.
 The various "City Beautiful" clubs formed last year at his suggestion
 proved to be tremendous factors in the beautifying of the city, and certainly
 none can gainsay the fact that marked improvement was noted.
 All of us get used to things-seeing them constantly day by day, and our eyes grow dim to what is really needed to further improvements in the line of city beautiful work, as well as other things, so it was my pleasure a few days ago to meet MT. Herman M. owen, the latest florist to join Birminghams S ranks and get fresh view point from his regarding the city beau tiful idea from what might be called a strangers viewpoint.
 MT. Owen has only recently come to Bir-
 mingham, opening a beautiful shop here, which is furnished from the famous green
