Y1 R1DAx is "Literary Club" day.

Ty RIDAY is ""Literary Cup day'
 H and woe be unto the hostess A who depends too much upon the students to attend her affairs. Not withstanding the temptation that comes with each invitation for Friday art ernoon, many of them resist and turn not aside from their habitual way so there was a dearth of parties yesteF- day. most of the Birmingham hostesses having learned the habits of the many, and except for the large bridge tea at the Southern club society confined it's activities to the smaller affairs and club meetings.
 Mrs. W. D. Smith had a few friends at luncheon at the Tutwiler as charm ing courtesy to Mrs. J. w. McAlpIne of Mobile, who is visiting Mrs. w. $. Moughon, and there were several other groups whose personnel was equally interesting.
 Then Mrs Warren Lewis. Jr., was one of the hostesses of the day, her guests gathering for a meeting of the Friday Luncheon bridge at 1 o'clock. After the very delightfully."- served luncheon the club members being seat ed about & prettily decorated table, a series of bridge was enjoyed and & silk cachet was given as a consolation. Those who enjoyed the occasion were: Mrs. Carl Bath and the club members who are: Mrs. J. s. Hoskins. Mrs. Isaac Houser, Mrs. L. B. Leftwich Mrs H. NJ Henderson. Mrs. W. E. Hooper, Mrs Edward Burn Erwin. Mrs. D. B. Light ner and the hostess.
 But there is no good reason why Friday night should not be as gay as a week of work or play and everyone makes the best of it. Certainly last night was happy enough. for society was at the skating rink, or at the Lyric, and then Miss Jessie Mae Perkins ap- preaching marriage to Mir. Carl Holz- born has furnished a reason for many delightful affairs. not the least pleas ant being the dinner dance at the Roe buck Springs club given by MT. Julian Dow. The members of the wedding party and few other friends were in- ciuded in the hospitality, which was informally delightful as are all Roe buck Springs parties.
 The Newspaper club was the rem dezvous for another gay crowd, just as the Motor and Country club was Thursday, so the week seems to be ending in quite whirl of social ac- tivity.

 formity with these principles, the ulti mate object of which has always been to confine warfare on sea, and land, to armed forces of belligerents and safe guard as far as possible noncombatants against the horrors of war. But al- though these considerations are of great weight they alone would not un- der present circumstances have de- termined the attitude of the German government. For in answer to the ap- peal by the government of the United States, on behalf of the sacred prin- law, the German government must re- peat once more with all emphasis that it was not the German but the British government which ignored all ac- cepted rules of international law and extended this terrible war to the lives and property of noncombatants, having no regard whatever for the interests and rights of neutrals, and noncom- batants that through this method of warfare have been severely injured.
 PLEADS LF-DEFENSE
 "In self-defence against the illegal conduct of British warfare. while fight ing g. bitter struggle for national exist ence, Germany had to resort to the hard but effective weapon of submarine warfare.
 'As matters stand, the German gov ernment cannot but reiterate regret that the sentiments of humanity which the government of the United States extends with such fervor to the unhappy victims of submarine warfare are not extended with the same warmth of feeling to many millions of women and children, who, ac- cording to the avowed intention of the British government, shall be starved, and who, by sufferings, shall force the vic- torious armies of the central powers into ignominous equalization. The German government, in agreement with the Ger man people, fails to understand this dis

How to Make Club Sandwich

Will you kindly tell me how to pre- pare club sandwich? I should like also to know how to remove an ink stain from g. pink crepe de chine waist. J. M. s.
 Answering your second query first, don't meddle with the ink spot. We can tell you of divers detersives warranted to extract the ink, but of none that are not almost sure to take the body color of the fabric with it. Commit the task to a professional and demand a guarantee, that the pink will not be changed. To make club sandwich toast slices of bread nice brown and while hot spread with butter and put between the slices lettuce leaf, some cold chicken cut in thin slices, a few chopped olives and pickles, some slices of hot, crisp bacon, a layer of salad dressing, another lettuce leaf and the other slice of toast. Many do not toast the bread and think the sand wich more easily eaten when the toast ing is omitted. Others again leave out the chicken, The sandwich is more easily handled when it is not so thick The hot bacon is a distinctive feature Cor respondents are invited to contribute recipes for club sandwiches which they prefer to this-the conventional dish.

.RE-ENACTS COTTON
FUTURE MEASURE
PART OF ANNUAL APPROPRlA-
TON BILL FOR u. S. DEPART
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.

WASHINGTON.-The annual APP
preparation bill for the department
of agriculture just passed by con-
gress contains a re-enactment, effect
i've September /, 1916, of the United
States cotton futures act with few
changes. Section IL of the present
law, which taxes orders sent abroad
for the making of future contracts
on foreign cotton exchanges unless
certain conditions were complied
with, will be omitted.
A new section known as Ga is in
serted in the bill, which provides an
optional contract under which par
ties may, by agreement, without be-
ing subject to tax, contract that un-
der certain specified conditions the
buyer may demand delivery of the
basis grade named in the contract.
Another modification which will be
of interest and assistance to the
trade is the authority conferred on
the secretary Of agriculture IN case
of disputes to include in his findings,
even though only one question be re-
ferred, a complete classification OF
the cotton for the purpose of deliv-
cry on future contracts. Under the
old law the authority of the secretary
was confined to a determination of
the specific question of grade, quail
ity or length of staple referred to
him by the parties. In other words,
if the dispute involved grade only
and the cotton was found to be gin
cut, which is a question of quality,
the secretary had no authority to in
cIude statement as to gin-cut in his
findings.
Government officials in charge of
the matter call especial attention to
the facts that the new act will not
become effective until September 1,
1916, and that the old act of August
10, 1914, will remain in full force
until the beginning of next month.
The rules and regulations of both
the treasury and the agricultural de-
partment, with slight notifications
and additions necessitated by the
changes made in the law, will be re-
issued shortly after approval of the
bill by the president, so that there
will be no disturbance whatsoever to
the trade

PROVIDES INSPECTION
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Bill Alleged to Be Aimed at Catholics
Passes Senate. Spirited Debate
On the Measure.

The Weary bill, which passed the
house, providing for state inspection
through grand juries of all charitable
eleemonsynary and philanthropic in
situations, was passed by the senate
by vote of 80 to 8.
Immediately after the bill was
passed Senator Peacock, of the Four
teenth gave notice of motion to re-
consider and this will have to be dis
posed of before the measure goes to
the governor. Considering the vote
however, it seems doubtful about the
motion to reconsider going through.
Strongly aligned against the measure
were Senators Lawrence of the First,
Way of the Second, Thomas of the
Third and Akin of the Fourth.
Senator Lawrence made specially
emphatic appeal against it on the
ground of unwarranted interference
in religious matters and institutions
and indirect contravention of the
constitutional freedom guaranteed
to religious bodies and organizations.
Senators Pickett of the Eleventh,
Boykin of the Seventeenth and Nc
Crory of the Thirteenth spoke for it.
Several senators declared that it was
aimed directly at the Catholic
church, and that it was an unfair
and unjust piece of legislation.

AN OFFICIAL FLOWER
is ADOPTED FOR GEORGIA
Cherokee Rose Named by Legisla-
ture in Formal Resolution.

Cherokee Rose Named by Legisla-
ture in Formal Resolution.
A resolution introduced by Judge
Spencer R. Atkinson, of Fulton, by
request, designating the Cherokee
rose as the official floral emblem of
the state, was unanimously adopted.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, in many of the states of
the union some flower indigenous to
the soil of the state has been chosen
as an emblem of its sovereignty, and,
Whereas, hitherto the general as
sembly of Georgia has made no such
selection, and,
Whereas, the Cherokee rose hav-
ing its origin among the aborigines
of the northern portion of the state
of Georgia, is indigenous to its soil
and grows with equal luxuriance in
every county of the state; be it there
fore by the house of representatives
of Georgia, the senate concurring,
Resolved, That at the suggestion
and request of the Georgia Fedora
ton of Women's clubs the Cherokee
rose be and the same is hereby adopt
ed as and is declared to be the floral
emblem of the state of Georgia"
