 Something About Her Work For the Fratern1

 of self and others-analytica but
 destructive I want to quote to you wI.s- one of my friends said to me about her;
 Miss Corbett is a big little person, decidedly generous toward things and people, bright and witty, has broad vision is most fearless. She is a wom- an of marked ability and brain capacity. She has real brains, not veneer. She is full of initiative. She has qualities, not mere training. She can analyze not just approximate; she knows how to keep things intact; in short, Miss Corbett is what call real woman with the judg~ ment of man and the heart of tender, understanding, God d-created being
 You know what she has done for The Angeles in its marvellous growth and improvement, but it has not yet attained her dreams. She dreams of a future An gelos so great that this is only the be- ginning-and we await with keen antici- patton the future growth of Kappa Delta as molded by her keen judgment and understanding vision
 In speaking of the Kappa Delta activ- ities and other things pertaining to fra ternity work which the biennial Is pro- noting, Miss Corbett said yesterday;
 "There's one thing about being editor of the fraternity magazine, it keeps one in touch with everything and everybody connected with Kappa Delta Work. re- ceive communications, of course, from every chapter connected with the fra terpity, giving us news of their work and naturally I keep close to the girls who are near and far.
 "I am proud of the fine work Alabama has done Alabama is perfect hotbed of Kappa Deltas; IS girls from Selma alone are in attendance at the conven- tion; quite as many are here from other Alabama cities. large number of dele- gates have made the trip from the east, coming by water to Savannah and then direct to Birmingham. The west sends us a delegate from the most remote or citfes-Spokane; so you see we have "a ther a widespread representation.
 ''Just as modern science has joined the east and west with it's slender wires that carry sound, so Kappa Delta has joined them with it's chain that enlarges into mystic circle that carries friendship, the many links welded by d common pur- pose. On May ,, the circle gained it's twenty first link at Cornell university. On May 19 the circle became as broad as Southern California, and Theta Sigma chapter came into being. So you see that we reckon in big numbers-wde diner nsions-tremendous distances
 Our biennial conventions give us a delightful opportunity of knowing each other and especially to me are they in teresting," Miss Corbett said. since it brings me face to face with many of my correspondents and co-workers whom it is a pleasure to know personally"

Rx DOLLY nALRYMPLE

NELDOM has Birmingham had the N honor of entertaining as many at " tractive girls as are now here in attendance upon the biennial conVentloii of the Kappa-Delta fraternity.
 A glimpse of this big gathering re- veals 125 college girls from every part of the country-from the faraway west to the eastern coast of Maryland, and from faraway New York to sunny Florida.
 There are all kinds of girls-big girls and little girls; tall girls and short girls blonde girls and brunette girls; but ail- college girls-bright, eager, responsive and energetic, and all bred-in- -the-bone Kappa Deltas.
 Among the number none is more pop ular or more charming, more cultured or more clever than Miss Elizabeth Coroett of Jacksonville, Fla, who Is the able editor of The Angeles of the Kappa Delta.
 Miss Corbett is tall and slender, of the blonde type; she is gracious and charm ing. and a. student whose ability is meas ured only by the splendid vitality ahu executive ability Whlch Sne sho"s III iie work, which carries with it many naro- ships and many obstacles.
 Not very long ago l had the pleasure of reading a little sketch of Miss Cor bett from the pen of Miss Jenn Coltrane of Concord, N.

THE HOUSEHOLD EDITED By ANNE RITTENHoUSE
SOME HARVEST DRINKS

Even among those of us who as a life long habit or simply as a war measure'' do not indulge in any of the liquid offer ings of Bacchcus there is a feeling that 1t is almost childish to admit a fond ness for so-called soft drinks. We will admit to 9 liking for ginger ale If it is imported but since imported ginger ale is almost impossible to get nowadays, we either have accepted the domestic sort or drink only water The other bottled drinks such a. root beer, sarsa parilla, lemon pop and the rest we may be for given for refusing. But it really seems as if there ought to be some beverages that would meet with our favor. Per- haps among these old-time harvest drinks with which our hard working yoeman ancestors moistened their parched throats we might be able to find few that ap- peal to us.

OATMEAL WATER

Here is a simple country drink that has prover so refreshing and beneficial that at the time of the Japanese Russian war it was used on the Japanese ships as a beverage while the Russians then permit ted alcoholic drinks. Needless to say, the Japanese showed their shrewdness in their selection. To make it place in a stone jar a cup of oatmeal, a cup of su- gar and the juice and rind of three lem ons Now pour over all three quarts of boiling water and let it stand till cool Strain and place on ice.
 MINT CORDIAL

GERMANY OBTAINING NO FOOD
THROUGH SCANDINAVIA
Investigation Has Proved Reports of
That Nature Are GroundIess.

New York, April ADMINISTRATION
by the Amerfcan-S Fioun-
datfon Of rumors that Germany obtains
a food supply through Scandinavia has
proved ground1ess, according to a re-
port on the subject made public here
tonight.
EARLY In the war" the report states,
'fthe belHgerents demanded guarantees
against re-exports Of goods, consigned
to persons in Scandinavia, and all
three countries have passed laws to
conform. Goods are shipped in tran
sit, principally to Russia, but these
are required to be plainly marked and
do not enter into the import statistics
of Scandinavia.
The supposition that Scandinavia
supplies Germany with food" the re-
port adds, sis founded entirely upon
the figures showing the increase in
American exports during the war.
THE total imports of Sweden from
the United States in 1913 amounted
to 81, ,1O4 sos; in 1916, $51, ,939, ,1S2. In
1919, however, Sweden imported from
Germany alone goods valued at $75,-
S74 $40, Of which $14 ,919, 900 was for
foodstuhs. The imports from Great
Britain amounted to $53, til, $40. It is
obvious that not only these imports
bu likewise the lesser though consid-
erabse amounts from Belgium, France
and Russia have been practically stop
ped. The chief import from Russia
beforre L1e war was grain. That sup
ply Is now stopped because the grain
is needed in Russia

cense and control the operations of all
concerns engaged in the manufacture

Government to Deal in Foodstuffs.
Giving the government power to deal
directly in foodstuffs probably would
make its application unnecessary, Sec
retary Houston declared, as its very
existence would tend to keep condi-
lions normal. He proposed that the
government should have full discretion,
saying it might be wise if an emer-
gency arose to fix prices on a single
commodity.
Market grades and classes for farm
products, Secretary Houston said, is
one of the chief needs of the country
to insure proper conditions in pro-
ducing and marketing farm products
Authority also was asked for the
department to require of transporta-
ton companies preference for the
movement of farm machinery, seeds.

into the processes of food production
Enlargement of Market News Service.
Enlargement of the market news SER
vice of the department, was recon-
mended as a means of insuring equita-
Bile distribution to prevent undue food
shortage in any consuming center and
to provide against wastes due to tenn
porary oversupplies of food in some
communities. The department wishes
to allow the market service division
to assist in obtaining re-routing of
foodstuffs to relieve congestion on
transportation lines.
