Dabb, who is with one of the companies on the rifle range was injured in peculiar manner late Saturday night, The lieutenant was engaged in tearing away part of an old building near the range for the pur- pose of securing fuel for the tent fires, when the building took tumble, pin ming him beneath the falling parts. one of his legs was at first thought to De broken, but an examination showed that | it was only badly bruised. It will be several days before he is able to walk, and in the meantime he Is confined at the base hospital under the care of the divisional surgeons.
 Lieut. James Mcfarland of the base hospital staff was painfully burned Sat urday night by the explosion of a auan- | tity of gasoline. Lieutenant Mcfarland is very popular at the base hospitai ana his accident is generally regretted. | Companies A, E and I of the 114th in- I fantry moved last week from their old | quarters to the extreme back end or the l big reservation and the members or these outfits feel like they have gone l as near to Jericho as the law will all low. They will likely be moved back into tnelr oiu qudfteIS III tiic Noi ies', future. The three companies are located east of the railroad tracks on the ex- treme edge of the reservation and dur ing the few days they have been on l their new grounds great improvements have been made. The company streets
 have been nicely cleaned off, the tents
 fixed up to keep out the cold winds, and while the fellows in these outfits are
 lonesome way back over there, they are

Brmnghams Only Postman-Kntter Refutes the General Idea That Man Who Knits Is Effemnate, But Proves That He Gan Knit and Yet Be Wthal Regular Man


 MT. H. F. Jones is one of six other H. E~sJoneses in Birmingham, so he signs his name Howard E. Jones to distinguish him from the others. But he needn't do that anymore because he is now distin- guished by the fact that he is knitting for the soldiers.
 I don't know exactly what effect this story is going to have on other house. holds in Birmingham. feel sure Mrs. Caudle will at once insist upon Mir Cau- dle learning to knit, and whenever she hears of a U-boat outrage or a Zeppelin disaster, she will insist that it would al, be different if MT. Caudle were wiggins a couple of knitting needles But, at any rate, it's good example which this nics MT. Jones has set for the rest of the men, and I predict that those masculine per- sons who have boasted that if the men of this country have to knit our nations s way to victory, we will never get to Pots- dam, will soon be saying, If by knitting we can aid our nation to victory, then every last one of us will get a set of knitting needles and a ball of wool today and before many moons we'll be in Pots- dam with the Germans sitting at our feet holding our yarn, until their arms are So paralyzed that they won't have any more circulation than a country weekly in a township which has been wiped out by an epidemic of yellow fever"

NEWS OF SOCIETY AND
 ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN

1 of Arc. Julia May Drennen Tn the ar nor of the Maid of Orleans and Jose phine Connors and Ida Englehart in the i picturesque peasant dress will make this one Of the most appealing of all the pie lures.
 Intensely interesting to those who
 think of America as the great melting pot of the world is the fact that Mamie Frppi, who will take the part of Italy in "The Latin Sisters is of pure Ital- iant percentage and William Turner, who will pose as John Bull, was born in Liv- erpool. The English tableau in most effective and picturesque, For Your Mother" being the descriptive title. Britannia seated as the central figure is giving the mothers blessing to her kneeling sons, the Canadian soldier, the Australian soldier, and soldiers from other colonies who have rallied to the defense of the mother empire.
 Begium's bread line could hardly be portrayed perfectly by Q group of rosy checked American children, but the tab leau will touch little more vitally the sympathy for the children of all the world.
 Russia, will, of course, be represented by the most remarkable thing that has flashed across the tragic picture of this distracted land, the battalion of death.
 America will naturally be the climax O. all the tableaux-the Goddess of Lib erty being shown as leading the way for the American soldiers and the American sailor at her side.
 What American Women Are Doing for Their Country will. be shown by 20 tiny tots dressed in Red Cross costumes, some of them knitting, some rolling bandages and all eager and intent in their service for America.
 What American Men Are Doing for America" will be portrayed by military drill by boys in all the pride and glory of the soldiers uniform.
 At the close of the programme there will be a regular -before-the-war Christi mas party, with all the joyousness of Christmas decoration, popcorn balls, Santa Claus. and a sparkling Christmas tree In order that hundreds of children may come and have good time the en- trance fee has been reduced to a mini mum. Children from other schools as well as Lakeview are cordially invited to attend.

 "The job of knitting may not be a mans size job,' MT. Jones laughingly told me, "but if my regular job isn't a man s size job, there never was one. Nobody could deny that if they'd see my pack when start out in my rounds. It seems to me, though, that before thes war is over therell be a great many men with big jobs who will gladly during their leis- ure moments do any sort of work they can rather than sit by and see their fel- low men remain in want and discomfort" "
