 S ative spirit of Birmingham; all that's necessary is for somebody to start something" and there's always certain to be another to "second the motion"
 Mrs. George F. Harrington. who is actively engaged in the food conserva- ton campaign, said q few days ago that Birmingham could do an original and clever thing by complimenting MT. Herbert c. Hoover. The plan was to in augurate a national Hoover luncheon for business men and women. The idea was that the hotels, cafes. boarding houses, housekeepers and lunch stands would begin at once to serve Hoover lunches, which being interpreted in plain English means, food without beef, pork, wheat or other war com modities.
 Mrs. J. F. Kane, who is the able and efficient manager of the Civic associa- ton cafe-progressive, up-to-date and patriotic-has followed Mrs. Harring- toms suggestion in practical way by inviting the people of Birmingham and vicinity to make the Civic association cafe headduarters for Hoover lunch cons" Formerly the cafe was limited to members of the Civic association; now it is open to everybody.
 Mrs. Kane wants to show the people of this community that palatab1e, good. wholesome food can be arranged on luncheon menu without the war foods, which will appeal to the most fastidi- ous; she wants to show people that just as great a quality of food can be served at Hoover luncheon as other wise at the same time eliminating any thing that Uncle Sam might need for our soldier boys In other words, Mrs. Kane, who has made an unqualified success of the Civic association cafe, Is in a position to cooperate with the national Hoover luncheon idea and start it on it's way"
 Mrs. Kane Is one of Birmirgham's notable examples of successful business women. She is level- l-headed conserva- tive and successful. She is practical and thorough, and since she has assumed the management of the Civic associa- tion cafe, she has increased the pat ronage almost 100 per cent. She serves anywhere from 150 to 300 luncheons day, and almost twice as many dinners on Saturday evening.
 "Of course, you don't have to eat Hoover lunch or dinner unless you want to-" Mrs. Kane said when I was talking with her yesterday. although

The only things that appeal to the ma iority of people are little gatherings of Il few good friends to talk over the latest war news and war interests; even in gay New York, social affairs have been elim- mated to a vast extent and "the Colo nels Lady and Judy O'Grady,'' who 8 year ago were not even in speaking dis tance of each other, now belong to the game knitting clubs. the same tea parties and the same war societies.
 Birmingham promises to belong dis tinctly to this regime this winter. for where knitting for the soldiers cannot be carried on, there society will not be. So the Tutwiler afternoon teas will bring together cotertes of friends who over the teacups will enjoy a bit of social Inter course during the week.
 Tea carts with dainty. delicious tea. coffee and chocolate, sandwiches, cakes and ices, supplied the wants of the par ticipants at the afternoon tea yesterday. while music was an enjoyable feature also.
 Mrs. George Wheeler acted as hostess at the premier tea and In her usual grace ful, cordial manner made the occasion pleasant for those who attended

These are all included in Hoover menus, so that any idea that may have been formed as to the cheapness of food for Hoover luncheons over any other kind is a fairy story And that isn't MT. Hoover's idea of war economy anyway. as I un- derstand it; his idea is to eat as much as we've ever eaten; he doesn't want anybody to go hungry but he does want them to eat fish, oysters, chicken and rye bread and save the meats and dairy products and wheat for the sol- diers."
