A N Englishman. speaking of the
"A war, remarked that it was almost
worth all the suffering and loss
to see the wonders of which women were
capable, says the Philadelphia Public
Ledger. An American does not require
such severe "eye-opener," for he, as
a rule, is quite ready to admit the capa-
bilities of women; but at the same time
their support of the preparedness
movement has caused quite a good deal
of comment.
We have enjoyed peace and prosperity
for so long that the women seem to have
slipped into the position of pleasant ap-
pendages-useful aids in business or
rather expensive luxuries, according to
the individual mans way of looking on
her. Then came the war abroad and the
rumors of war at home, and the American
women, like their sisters in Europe, rose
at once to the occasion. They were not
used to that kind of work, but in a very
little time they proved that they could
become fitted for it, and with the bust
nesslike common sense of the nation they
methodically set themselves to the task
At first aid'' classes, in camps, at sew
ing cirles and in diet kitchens they were
found working earnestly and consistently
to make themselves of greater value to
their country and to show their practical
patriotism.
With the entraining of the troops for the
border, women naturally have become
more enthusiastic, more anxious to lend
a helping hand; but unfortunately there
are very great number of willing wom-
en- who have not the time or opportunity
to join any of the organizations which
would enable them to begin their practical
training. For such as these L thought it
might be useful and interesting to run

Monday was a happy day at the mo-
bilization camp for the boys of Battery
A and Battery C, the two Birmingham
companies The reason for this happi-
ness was bevy of pretty girls from the
Magic City who came to Montgomery to
present the two batteries with guidons
from two associa tons of that city, says
the Montgomery Advertiser.
The guidon to Battery A, which was the
gift of the Woman's auxiliary of the JEFF
ferson County artillery, was presented by
Miss Margaret Pittman in few well
chosen words as follows.

others say about the Corner. Will some
one tell me how to make cookies with a

Doubly welcome, since it calls for sour
milk in making. Now is the time for
utilizing what is often the consequence
of carelessness or an unexpected change
in the weather AS every experienced
housewife knows, warm, damp weather is
peculiarly unfriendly to the dairy. 1t
sheds tiny ray upon misfortunes of this
sort to reflect that the changed milk
may be made to do yeoman service in the

cies as you and other housemothers have
brought to our attention of late. Your
request of raisin filled cookies is re-
ferred.

Floods Subside

Columbus, Miss, July 25.-After hav-
ing been on a rampage for nearly two
weeks as the result of recent floods, the
Tombigbee and Luxapalila rivers, both
of which flow near Columbus, are again
within their banks, and traffic. which to
large extent has been impeded by the
high waters has been resumed.
A number of important manufacturing
enterprises are located in the territory
which was inundated and these were
necessarily compelled to suspend opera
ton while their plants were surrounded
by water. Now that this water has re-
coded, however, the mills and factories
are preparing to resume operations and
most of them are expected to be running
OIL full time within the next few days.

Making Dolls Clothes

4 have been much interested in read
ing your Corner. We live in the coun-
try and my little daughter is making
dolls clothes. She has dolls, but
haven't enough material for her to sew
with If some of the good people could
send her some pieces of cloth and bits of
lace, etc, we would be happy. l hope to
be able to help some time. ANNA. p.
Our juveniles muster strong. More
dolls clothing is called for. Doubtless
the change of seasons account III part
for the pressure upon our resources. Yet
more apparent is the truth that in vaca-
ton it behooves provident mothers" to
make up toilets for dolles against the
winter, when lessons will take all the
daylight hours. Send to me for the adj
dress of the little daughters mother, who
cannot supply the requisite materials for
the wardrobe.

service closed with the old time
"Rock-Chalk'' yell.
Chancellor Strong set forth in no
uncertain terms the needs of the uni
versfty. Its growth has been contin-
uous, he pointed out, but particularly
rapid in the last few years. The en-
rollment November L of this year was
3,29S, a gain of 494 over last year.
The enrolment has trebled in the last
fifteen years.
Il think, tho, that size by no means
is the only important criterion by
which to judge an institution said
Doctor Strong. THE university has
also gained in the kind of service it
does for the state.
The great increase in the number
crease in facilities. 1t is eight years
since the university has been provided
with a building furnishing test room
facilities. In that time the enroll
ment has increased 1900. The most
serious problem is a more adequate

More than 900 persons attended the
dinner which followed the chapel

present were promised the opportun-
fly of speaking at the reunion next
year.

RESUME CONFERENCE
villa Activities of Week Widen Breach
Between Conferees.

Atlantic City, Y. J., Nov. 1n.-The
Mexican-American Joint commission
ers resumed their efforts here today to
effect settlement of the difficulties
between Mexico and the United States
after n recess of q week. 1t was in
dictated that the American members
were determined to force the confer
ence to an early conclusion.
The Mexican members appeared no
less impatient for an adjustment but
the realization by both sides that Vii
las activities in northern Mexico had
been widely extended since their ad-
journment last week made it appar-
emit that an agreement involving a
withdrawal at an early date of Cen
eral Pershing's troops was improb-
able.
The Mexicans insist that the con-
tinuetion of the embargo on arms and
ammunition is rendering more diff
cult the pursuit of Villa and his army
by the government forces. 1t was in
Dictated that the commissioners would
increase their effort to have this en-
barge lifted and at the same time
urge upon the American commission
ers the advisa bility of ascertaining
from where Villa ammunition is COM
ing with view to cutting it off.

HUGHES SMILING
Not Emblem of Victory, but
That of Good Loser.
Breaks Strain by Attending
Theater With Mrs. Hughes.
BY CARL d. GRoAT

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Nov. 1O.-Charles Evans
Hughes took latest returns today with
complete outward calmness. despite
the terrific strain since Tuesday. He
slept late. At $50 he had not or
dered breakfast sent to his private
dining room at the Hotel Aston. When
he appeared later, he was smiling and
exchanged pleasantries in his old way
with personal and political friends who
called.
The governor, however, plainly
showed the effects of the conflicting
emotions of the past four days. This
and lack of sufficient sleep, together
with the most strenuous campaign
ever made by presidential candidate
| had slightly drawn his features and
his step had not the swing in it that
it had when he started out last July
on his $4,000 miles campaign tour.
Delay Congratulations to Wilson.
Early this forenoon Hughes had
sent no message of congratulation to
President Wilson. This was taken in
some quarters as indicating that he
one or two others, may delay their
usual exchange until the official count
is complete in all close states Will
cox and Hughes have not yet conced-
ed defeat- Another factor in this con-
nectiOn is exactly what action the Re
publican national committee intends
taking in regard to proposed recounts
Hughes attended the theater last
night with Mrs. Hughes and a party
OF friends, to see William Collier in
Nothing But the Truth Mrs.
Hughes apparently forgot all about
the election in her interest in the
show but she showed plainly the eff
fects of the strain.
Governor and Mrs. Hughes walked
the two or three blocks to and from
the theater. Few recognized them on
the streets, but they were accorded an
explosive ovation in the building.
