Best wishes and tender love go with them In their new home"
 She continued: "Childless themselves, they have counceled and guided scores of young people of this city by whom they will be always revered."
 One of the girls in little chat with me a few days ago said: Miss Hattie, people are always talking about war and how it is building up our young men who used to stand around on the corners smoking cigarettes. They seem to over look the fact that the tonic effect of the struggle has had good influence upon all classes of society. Many women who, until few months ago, were chiefly in terested in what fashion Paris would evolve for the coming season or just some things equally as unimportant, are now looking forward to sacrifice and to doing personal service to ones own coun- try and countrymen.
 Nowhere has this been more demon strated than right here in Birmingham, as the women are taking serious interest in the material things of life, not be- cause many of them nave to, but because it is part of a general plan for hav- ing everybody do something to help win the war and help bear the burden of those who are really going to win it.
