 at Camp Mcclellan
By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston, November 15.---( -(Special) Tuesday is "receration day" at Camp Mcclellan, a day that is constantly in- creasing in popularity with those eager to do their bit for the soldiers, and needless to say, day that is antici- pated with greatest pleasure by the l convalescents at the base hospital. "Oh, the monotony," is the cry that resounds throughout the dreary walls Of the hospital. To relieve this monot- ony, the convalescent committee has arranged to bring as many as are able to come into town on Tuesdays to en- joy "a little bit of heaven" as the soldiers term taste of the joy of home life
 Mrs. William J. Kapp, Annistons ef- ficient Red Cross chairman, and Mrs. Coddington Wells. a faithful Red Cross worker, were joint hostesses to 20 con valescents from the hospital Tuesday. cup of hot chocolate, cakes, music and conversation, generous bit Of mo thering" from the hostesses and their assistants brought forth appre- citation from those lonely, sick boys that would stir your very soul.
 During a visit to her daughter Mrs. Charles Bell, Mrs. M. A. Tartt of Liv- ingston, who is also the mother of Mrs. Tunstal1 Perry and Mrs. Darby Brown of Birmingham, woman beloved throughout the state. became intensely interested in ministering to the sick at the base hospital. The boys learned to look forward to her visits, and their faces would light with eager delight whenever this sweet-faced angel of mercy appeared in 6 ward Mrs. Tartt has not forgotten her boys. Every week she sends a generous check to the convalescent committee to be used to provide comfort and cheer for the sick and lonely This week every patient in one of the wards, thanks to Mrs. Tartt's generosity, were provided with games, postcards. orangers and carnations. Instead of forgetting, lab sence makes her heat grow fonder" for this beautiful service to the brave men who are offering their lives in service for us
 In fact. the convalescent committee, Miss Kate Bell, Mrs. s. L. Crook and Mrs. Charles R. Bell, who were ap- pointed by the national council of de- fense to work in cooperation with the Calhoun county hospital relief commit tee are continually receiving offers of help in their work, one of the most popular yet undertaken for the wei fare of the soldiers.

RED CROSS KNITTERS

Thousands of our soldiers and sailors can thank the good women of Birming- ham for having their sweaters and hel- nets completed in time to keep them warm this winter.
 The tireless activities of ninnbly knit ting fingers should not relax for one mo- ment. Thousands of Birmingham women are setting splendid example by com pletely ignoring all social obligations that they might contribute all of their spare time to this noble work for our boys.
 Even though Birmingham has done mo- ply thus far, there is still urgent need for more sweaters and more helmets. Quoting from a letter received by tho local chapter from Mrs. Catherine H. Moberly, director of the women's bureau of the American Red Cross, gulf division, as follows:
 T would urge that you continue knit ting with all possible speed Urge upon your co-workers also that knitted helmets are of the greatest importance. Possibly the greatest comfort of all our knitted articles are the helmets which completely protect the ears and necks of the boys in eastern camps and the sailors already exposed to severe weather"

I also knew the undertaking would not be an easy one, but with the power of my conviction. my willingness to work. and my desire to succeed, felt I would accomplish the mark I aimed at, and I determined that with my experience I would be justified in trying to convert it into veritable advantage.
 ITO the majority of would-be public stenographers, an important considera- tion is the amount of capital required to start this undertaking. Fortunately this does not demand large outlay, for a better and more complete office equip
