Charles Miller of the Birmingham News spoke briefly, pledg- l ihg his services to the cause of woman's rights, erd deploring the coming of the picketer from Washington. The publicity committee decided to do all in it's power to put the fact that the Suffrage associa- l ton had no connection with the picketers before the public Miss Worthington pro siGed at the luncheon and graciously suggested that the guests adjourn atsthe body to the liberty loan meeting at the Tutwiler. Mrs Jacobs spoke few words about the liberty loan work and l the meeting adjourned suggested by

 PROTESTS FROM THE STATE EXEC UTIVE BOARD.
 At the annual meeting of the state ex- ecutive board of the Alabama Equal Suf- frage association the following resolution was passed unanimously:
 Whereas, representatives of the wom ans party have announced through the columns of the press their intention of holding meetings and spreading their propaganda in Birmingham and other parts Of Alabama at an early date, and, Whereas. Representatives of the won- ans party come here uninvited by the organized suffragists of the state; there fore,
 Be it Resolved, by the executive board of the Alabama Equal Suffrage associa- tion. That it reaffirms it's loyalty to tile president, and it's unqualified condemna- ton of the course of the woman's party in picketing the White Tonse and ha@- assing the administration, especially at this critical time; and that it expresses great regret that Alabama is to be in- vaded by the pickets; and that it calls upon it's members throughout the state to repudiate the pickets and their actions in every possible way: and that it urges long-suffering public not to visit upon the thousands of peaceful Alabama suf- fragists the acts of a handful of militant interlopers.
 Beside the war work with it's pa culiar strain and stress, the educa- tional side of our city in welfare work is not being forgotten. The business
 women of the city have been strong
 ly backed by the suffragists in re- cent plea for improved working con- ditions Due directly to the activity of
 a suffrage committee almost every
 merchant in the city has been induced
 to provide adequate lunchrooms and
 workrooms for their employees. Be
 sides this an opportunity will be given
 the women who work to make suf- frage headquarters their knitting room
 where those who have little time but
 large desire to help with the war work
 may do so. The club women are being
 educated along the lines of efficiency
 and good citizenship by the semi
 monthly meetings of the association.
 Everywhere the suffragists of Bir-
 mingham have come forward as the
 most progressive and untiring and pa
 triotic group of women in the city.

 even enlarge the welfare and WAT work that their wonderful organiza-
 tion enables them to undertake But
 they need the cooperation of the cit
 izens of Birmingham. The militants are sending speakers to this city un
 der tEe guise of suffrage workers.
 These women. the same ones who took
 the time of war to harass our Presi.
 dent. want to be confused with the rank and file of suffragists. They wan
 the public to believe that all suffrage workers are like themselves It will
 be easy for them to fool the public ifit wants to be fooled. They can hurt 4 our cause more than anything else ay
 breaking down the sympathy and re- spect which the Birmingham Equal Suffra ge association has so richly won after it's years of earnest work. And we are powerless to protect ourselves and our cause from this libel without your help.
 We could stop selling liberty bonds. stop teaching food conservation, stop knitting for the soldiers, leave the working women in the city morgan ized and helpless and fight the pick eters and make the public understand that we don't belong to the little band of misguided women. But our country is at war. It calls us to service. And we like soldiers must answer. leaving thought of self aside. But our cause sof equal rights for women is more necessary to be understood and nour- ished now in a war for democracy than ever before. To hurt it is to hurt the country and us. Will you help us to protect ourselves? You can do this III one way. Remember always that the picketers are not the true suffragists of this country. Refuse to be fooled and play into these persons hands. Let them say what they wish and if 1t is good do not scorn it. But, above all, don't take your wrath out on us!
 'I have given another cornbread recipe this week because want to i'm press the suffragsts with the real necessity of using corn that our allies. who are ignorant of it's use, may have wheat Besides this, corn has a very high nutritive value and when rightly
 
 every one will try these recipes and not be scared off by the fact that they take eggs and milk. Because as a mat ter of fact, cornbread like either of these will take the place of bread and a cereal at breakfast and so really save rather than prove expensive, said Mrs. Long. as she proudly handed in her favorite corbread recipes.
 One cupfull of cornmeal, one cup full of boiled hominy: knead two eggs into the hominy add one teaspoonful of crisco. cotoline or other shortening melted, one pinch of salt, one good I pinch of sugar. Whip this all together. Add cornmeal and cold milk alternate ly to thick consistency like mush. Beat 1t well, bake it and serve Do not let it stand
 The following recipe is recommended highly as the perfection of corn cake if well made and we'll baked:
 Sift into a bowl one quart of corn meal and add a level teaspoon of salt. | not more. Have ready one pint of boil ing milk and mix into the cornmea1. 1 making soft dough. Add one table spoon of crisco cotoline or other short ening,. Beat four eggs (three eggs will do) tiii very light and thick, stir slow i " into the mixture and set aside 10 cool.
 All preparations of cornmeal require much beating and stirring. Have ready TWO or three pans about two inches deep. Grease them we'll and fill to inc 1
