| 1TS1vEN if Birmingham hasn't a real 1 GI "cantonment" we are going to be ~ introduced to one Saturday (to- bazaar opens at the Hotel Hillman, for then a miniature reproduction of one of the great army camps will be shown; | in other words, the big ballroom of the l big FIillman hotel has been transformed | into a cantonment-tents, streets and barracks tucked away among towering
 trees, swinging vines and dense forests will be the mise-en-scene of the big suffrage bazaar which opens tomorrow morning, and to which all of Birming- ham is cordially invited.
 For weeks and weeks the Birmingham Equal Suffrage association headquarters has been the busiest place in this city; everybody has been at work doing "her bit" for the bazaar making the most wonderful things-baskets, lamp shades, dolls, knitting sweaters, helmets and mitts for the soldiers, getting together pantry commodities, preserves, pickles, 1ellies-in fact, there isn't anything that you want that you won't be able to find at the suffrage bazar
 Organization" which is the watch
 
 cient work which has been accomplished and every department is complete and everything is in readiness for the phemier tomorrow.
 For the past few months. since June, in fact, we have practically suspended all suffrage propaganda Mrs. Jacobs said yesterday in speaking of the bazar, ''and we have turned our entire atten- ton to war work; the suffragists had charge of the registration of men; the suffragists have gone out into the re mote districts and have done educa- tional work on war lines; the suffragists have taken an active part in all war parades, always furnishing our own ban ners and devices, all of which has cost quite a bit of money so our bazar IS held largely to reimburse us for what we have already spent, and more largely to help us to continue our work for pa triotic service"
 We have planned our suffrage bazaar along educational lines as well as pa triotic lines, and we have also endeav- ored to make it practical as well as beautiful}' Mrs. Jacobs continued. For instance tomorrow afternoon Mrs. H. Ii. Shell will conduct a class in parliamen- tary law; anyone wishing to enjoy an hours work under her able direction can do so during a visit to the bazaar. We are going to have very unique
 
 ing 50 tried and true Hoover dishes, neatly compiled and attractively bound, to help the housewife during these days of food conservation. We are going to have a sale tomorrow also of wheatless breads cakes and other edibles which the busy housewife may purchase for her Sunday dinner. Along all lines we are trying to educate people up to the present standard of conservation. There are lamp shades, for instance, on sale as dainty and as Frenchy as could be found, which have been donated by young woman who made these lovely things out of her wedding veil and orange blossoms. Speaking of economy and making pretty things out Of dis carded finery,, there is an example An other contribution is about 50 dolls, which a clever woman has made out of discarded silk stockings; they are really very unique.
 q think the movie fans of Birming- ham will be interested in our movie ex- hibit," Mrs. Jacobs said. "We will have on sale the autographed photographs Of many of the greatest favorites in film dom, sent to us directly from the stars themselves, who were most generous in response to our request
