 MUCH BETTER HUMOR

 I thank you very much for publishing my other letter.
 Our conditions have changed consider ably since I last wrote you.
 A sergeant instructor from the regular army has charge of our kitchen at the present time, consequently the eating Is good and getting better all the time Last Sunday we enjoyed dinner that made us feel kinder like we were at home We had chicken pie, and you can i'm agine how we enjoyed it. Today we all got another shot of Paria typhoid serum And the worst results are a few sore arms. But that will all be well in a day or so.
 We went out for a cross-country ride today. Sergeant Johnston's horse fell but luckily he was not seriously hurt Guess you heard of the contest between Battery A and Battery c yesterday, want to say for the benefit of Battery A that c beat us, but as a whole Battery A was not to fault. One of our best gunners fell down on us, consequently we lost But as we have always beer first in everything else, it didn't hurt SC bad for them to win once in life.

HER SIDE-AND HIS
THE NEW PRIDE
By ZOE BECKLEY

It is a curious thing that ofttimes our greatest satisfaction Is suddenly revealed to us as a most detestable condition. Something overthrows the order and To, we find the new order full of delight and charm. We won der how we could have enjoyed things as they were.
 Exactly this phenomenon had hap pened to Rose Brett. She suddenly found her husband transmogrified from follower to leader, from amiable poodle to intelligent friend.
 After the first shock of surprise was over Rose liked it The bitter part was that another women-two women had worked the change. But Mrs. Brett soon lost sight of this uncom- fortable fact in her new pride in Car ter. It takes your emancipated fe- male to succumb to masculine flat tery. Your amazon to melt at ca resses.
 So novel was it for Rose Brett to be sharply opposed by her husband in matters of business-the realm of her shining success-that it took on the pleasure of a new thrill. So unheard of had it been for Carter Brett to say, dS llt llOW Ollell SdlQ INOSes | shall not sign the check for that sur vey of the hill property you ordered,' or something of the sort that Roses indignation at being crossed was lost in her joy of being bossed.
 There is something in womans na- ture-or is it her education ?-that craves being dominated by stronger force The weak woman clings to the masterful man. The self-reliant woman, it is true. glories in her free dom, yet longs for the masculine mind which can subdue her.
 Rose Brett was too much woman -or too little one. as you choose-to rush to Cora Temple and Wanda Lau- renee and say: Thank you for flirt- ing with my husband, it has walked him up reused him to a sense of his power and importance, made strong ntan of merely amiable one"
 She still had a feeling of something like contempt for Cora, of vague ex- asperation toward David for allowing
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-11-13

himself to be pulled away from her influence by his wife and a cordial dislike for Wanda Laurence.
 It is not recorded what Rose would have felt toward Wanda had the lat ter gone a bit further in the captiva- tion of Carter Brett. Rose was pug zled about Wanda. Was she really only fighting her friends battle? Was she merely a clever and cultured woman of the world, who played with all men for sheer loss of the game yet wanted no one of them for her self? Was she comrade or siren, schooner or friend?
 Rose Brett longed to satisfy her cu- riosity as to these things. She saw them one bright afternoon on the Country club veranda-Cora and David Temple and their charming house guest, Wanda Laurence, laughing and chatting merrily over tea.
 It may have been a fleeting express sion on Cora Temples mobile face. It may have been a bright flash di- rected at David, or only a vagrant fancy fitting through Roses mind. But something suddenly occurred to her.
 What if those two-wanda and David-should find some special har- mony?" said Rose to herself, setting down her own teacup and walking toward the little group. What a. what a pleasant party you're hay ing,' she smiled, looking deep into Wandas eyes It would be inter- esting, she told herself, to watch de- velopments here if developments there should prove to be. And if there werewolf, it would help pay off old scores.
 Yes" answered Wanda lightly, re- turning the look without embareass- ment We were hoping MT. Brett might join us. You're such busy, busy lady we almost never dare hope for you.''
 "Tm afraid he's too busy to come. Carters working like a galley slave on the new hill property" said Rose with the pride of a man in his first automobile. And as she passed on the three at the tea table smiled. "The Two Edged Sword will appear

TRAVELLERS ARE JUBILANT
 OVER AMENDMENT RESULT
Birmingham Post T P Takes Lead in the State For Monthly Increase of Membershp-At General Meeting at Macca
 bee Hall Membership Ring Will Be Awarded
Nv cI,ARENCE e. THoMAsoN

Perhaps no class of people in the state are more jubilant over the pass age of the educational amendment to the constitution than the travelling men, It is quite likely that more hon est effort for it's passage came from the travellers than any other class of men. Travelling over the length and breadth of the state week after week, the traveller has an opportunity to see and know actual conditions better than anyone else.
 Seeing the crying need of more funds for school facilities and coming in contact with illiteracy at every stop. the travellers went out to aid in the passage of the amendment. First, they posted themselves on the measure. as they do on practically all questions of public interest, then they got right down to business. In the hotel Hobbies, at the stations while waiting for trains, sitting on counters in the gem eral mercantile stores and from the ton of goods boxes, these men told the people the need of their votes to pass the measure. Much credit has been given to these men for the work they did and well they deserve it.
 The Birmingham post T. P. A., held enthusiastic meeting in the di- rectors' room of the Chamber of Com merce Saturday night. Not meaning by this that all meetings held by this post are not enthusiastic. This meeting, however had cause to be more enthusiastic than ordinary. for the members were told that during the month of October Alabama ran fourteenth in increased membership out of 37 states and Post took tho lead in the state To be accurate, the Alabama division of the Travellers Protective association added exactly 7e0 new members during the month.
 This is considered one of the best months in the history of the asso- aiation and speaks well for the pro- motors and workers in the associa- tion Determined to beat even last months record the membership has

already reported 56 applications for this month. 8 of which were secured al Gadsden Saturday.
 The states overcome during last month by Alabama are South Carolina, Louisiana and Maryland. Heretofore they have led Alabama.
 The membership ring to be given by the U c. T. for the largest num- ber of applications during their mem bership campaign will be awarded at a general meeting of the association to be held at 7:30 o'clock Saturday night in the Maccabee hall, Much speculation as to who will be the winner has been indulged in. Considerable interest ia attached to this, not from the stand point of value, but from the fact that the race is so close and no one is sure who is in the lead.
 In addition to the awarding of the ring a number of short, snappy speeches will be made which will be followed by a smoker. It is under stood that one of the largest classes of applicants ever received into the association at one time will be initi- ated. It will be regular "goat pa rade," and lots of fun is promised Councillor Grandpa" Kennedy is urg- ing all members to be present and par ticipate in the pleasures of the even ing.
 The Alabama Travellers year book is in the hands of the printers and will be issued to the members this week. The book will be the most at tractive published by the association ard will contain variety of informa ton and association doings that will be of much interest to the members R. K. Kennedy, councillor of the U c. T., spent last week in north Ala bama. visiting Haleyville, Hamilton and other towns According to MT Kennedy the travelling men are doing big business in that section and pros perity is in evidence everywhere. Cot ton is bringing 20 cents and every body is rejoicing, for the boil weevil did not hit this section for damages and the floods had less effect than ir ether parts of the state.

came from a good source, so we are all living in hopes.
 This evening about o'clock the weather turned suddenly cold. The first real cold weather we have experienced.
 Several of us went to the border line between Agua Prieta and Douglas lasE Sunday. The United States guards on this side won't let a soldier in uniform cross over, but we could distinctly sea the Carranza and Villa trenches on the other side
 We are here and We are suffering hard ships, yet some people have the nerve to say that the National Guard only goes on pleasure trips and are used only to protect ''scabs" At the present time We are being used to protect those people that call us "tinhorns." In reality they are too cowardly to enlist, even in the Salvation Army. The national guardsmen as a whole enlisted with the spirit of patriotism to protect our rights as Amer jeans, as well as to protect the knockers of the National Guard Before I close I want to tell you that we have been supplied with our winter clothes and all are doing nicely, no sickness to amount to , anything.

New York, November 12-(SpeciaD-Just opposite the front windows of my apart ment lies Fort Lee, resting peacefully amid the autumnal foliage of the Jersey Palisades, through which its white dweii- ings, red roofs and somewhat ambitious church spires smile good morning" to me across the Hudson soon after every sunlit dawn.
 It is a picturesque little cluster of houses, is Fort Lee. It's base rests al- most upon the wind-lSissed whitecaps of the river itself. and it is framed by the sere and scarlet of November's leaves. Above and behind it rises the protecting precipice of the Palisades, and the won derful blue of the Hudson intensifies it's pictureSqueness.
 The distance-for the river is mile and a half wide at this point-hides from me it's very probable activities and makes it seem inert and peaceful as The De- serted Village serene little settle nlent, accepting with smiling plaeidity the sinful goings-on of its giant neigh bor across the wind blown waterway.
 Its apparent inactivity is accentuated by the movement of the Fudson's chang ing tides; the almost constant passing of great river steamers the gleam and put putting of the fleet of motorboats. and the white winged sailb oats that glide
 past with a daring list to port or star board. Then. too. the gulls that flash to and fro in the sunlight. seeking to sus- tain their own lives through the death of Neptunes scaly subjects add to the contrast between the activities above the Hudson's surface and the seeming still ness upon the Jersey shore
 Seated at one of my windows this nlorn- ing, rapt in the beauty of the scene. there entered to me a little girl, years of age and--oh, no, no--nothing like that at all-the child is visiting some rela- tiyes who live in this building, and has | formed fondness for the Wilson buttons 1 I give her-she also began looking in- 1 tently out of the window.
 | Finally she turned to me with a pecu- ] liar little expression. and said: "Oh, it's
 veal. Look! Autobile! I fought it was l jus painted!
 ! She had, with her keen yonng eyes i discerned an automobile rolling along l the Jersey river road. It looked like 1 il ,toy car, but it had served to prove to | her that the scene upon which we were i both gazing was not mere painting. ''Young lady," I said to her. doubt I less in your broad experience you have heard many people remark that such 1 and such a scene was as pretty as d picture --don't agree with them in fu- ture.

Recital at Athens

Athens, College. November 12-(Spe- cial) Jon Friday evening the people of Athens and Athens college were given a musical treat when Mrs. Edna Crock el-Gussen and Miss Evelyn Egerter of Birmingham appeared before a large audience in joint piano and song re- cital. These ladies are from the Bir- mingham Music Study club and are mak- ing recital tour, and Athens college was fortunate in having this opportunity of hearing them They were enthus- iastically received, being called back each time, and on almost every recall very graciously gave other selections, which were much appreciated, especially since the programme was already a heavy one and taxing upon the artists. Both ladies have good stage presence and are most pleasing in their attitude toward their audience Both are musicians of much native ability which they have cuiti- vated highly.
