THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN
By Raymond Comstock of ''the
 ViuiIantes.


 Americans have above many oth- or characteristics a reputation with other nations for their staying quail ities. Stick-to-it-ive-ness is the term that classes American aggres- sdveness. In or great industries, in the fields of invention, exploration, and construction, we have won by our indomitable stick-to t-ive-nes a reputation that the world expects us to sustain.
 And in this great war for democ- racy, we face the hugest undertak- ing of our life as a nation. The American people from coast to coast chinod in Loyalty at the first call for funds to support their nation in its struggle with the German autocracy. The swamDing over-subscription was & solar-plexus blow to Prussianism. It spelt unity of purpose in a great nation, where German propagandists had declared unity did not exist. Germany gasped-and knew then that the American people, as people in divisible and strong, were in the war.
 But-the first Liberty Loan was only a beginning-was but the val iant clangor of the Liberty Bell call ing us to arise and defend America. A second great loan presumably three billions this time and then a third, a fourth, and more will fol- low. They are the fuel with which America can win this war. And our reputation for stick-to it i've ness is at stake, in the manner of our stand ing behind these loans.
 It is not matter of surging gen. erosity by individuals. Nor is 1t a proposition alone of vast subscrip- ttons by the very wealthy. The Sec ond Liberty Loan, and the third, and each succeeding one must be achieved by the consistent backing of all the citizens. We, each one of us, must face 1t as an individual responsibility. The allowance for Liberty Loan sub- scriptions should be as much an item of the regular family budget during the period of the war, as is the al- lowance, education, rent, or taxes in our homes. For, without systematk. loyal, individual support by all the citizens, the war loans cannot suc- ceed, and we are likely to find our selves without the homes to budget for.
 It matters not how great our con tribution of loved ones, or of per- sonal services; to every citizen Of the United States there is this oth- CT duty which must be faced. Let us plan now, therefore, to meet our obligation in War Loan No. 2. We can class the outlay under Higher Life" or as overhead. Unless we face the war loans as our individual responsibilities, we are likely to see the day when we yearn for both. The whole people of America is called upon to pay this systematic tax as called for, to the perpetuation of their life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

THE MILLION
DOLLAR DOLL
AT Temple Theatre Next Thurs
day, Aug. 23rd.

A decided improvement over the
ordinary musical comedy is The
Million Dollar Doll, Norton & Bunnell's
production, which will be the next big
attraction at the Temple Theatre on
Thursday, Aug. 23rd. This new musical
comedy has a well defined love story
woven through the play and the music
was written especially for and fitted to
the play, rather than dragged into it, as
incidental music, which is SO common
in the general makeup of musical come
dies. "The Million Dollar Doll'' takes
you through many beautiful and novel
scenes. The famous cabaret at the
home of Col. Darlington in New York
City, the trip through the Panama
Csnal on board the big ocean liner, the
now famous "Joy Zone" at the Panama
Exposition and the illumination of the
Tower of Jewels all make scenes OF un-
paralleled splendor. A company OF 40
people in clever dances, tuneful songs,
rousing ensembles and witty dialogue,
make you forget all your troubles and
think that life is worth living again.

Music and Its Trinity.

What we call music is well described
as trinity. The three components are
rhythm, melody and harmony. Rhythm
is to music what the will is to the indi-
vidual The rhythm of music Is Its
physical side, just like the body or
flesh Of the human being Melody In
music parallels the heart (or blood, a
component part of the individual. Har-
mony Is the soul of music just as feel
ing Is the soul Of the human being (also
possessed Of q three fold nature) The
triple elements In music are represent
ed In the history Of the world first by
the drum (rhythm); second, by the Lutte
(melody), and third, by the Tyre (har-
mony). Music lays its first hold on the
human understanding by its rhythm
All men are Influenced by 1t (even saw
ages. And every soldier with or with
out an ear for music) can appreciate
the tap, tap Of drummer boys drum
and can march longer and better for 1t.

Near Maastricht secret subterransan

Near Maastricht a secret subteransan
passage has just again been discovered
In st. Peters mount, which led straight
into Belgium. This must have been
used for months. and immense quanti-
ties must have been smuggled through

Dutch military, but as there are some
10000 passages I'm st. Peters it is quite
likely some Of these may still lead to
Belgium and be known to smugglers.

Red Cross Notes
An Earnest Call for
Red Cross Workers.

Where is our patriotism? Can we
not take time from our duties to look
into the smiling faces of our soldier
boys, then down into their very souls
and realize what they are sacrificing?
Hopes, ambitious lives, they are giving
for our country and the safety of our
homes, and we hesitate to devote few
hours of our day, to their necessities.
We cannot fight with them, but let the
comforts of our Red Cross supplies
us at their side in the
trenches. We should not only "give
till it hurts" but give till we are bene-
fitted by lessened selfishness.
Mothers, if we are not sending our
own sons have we not sufficient breadth
of soul to aid some boy who is sacrific-
ing all? Our Red Cross Chapter cannot
to the urgent calls sent to us
because of lack Of interested workers.
Must we close our rooms and have our
boys call US slackers?
Figuratively we are on our knees
begging you for help in this crisis. But
it is not ours to censure. Your own
conscience must do that.

Three times day there are spirited
combats with beefsteaks, called half

with bread, called punk" and butter
that Is called grease" and perhaps a
piece Of pie, known as a 'sliver." A

are about thirty on the station, resem-
bles nothing so much as a college din
ing room
Feeding this vast horde Of 10000
hungry boys is no small task, and
their healthy outdoor life demands
that they must be fed, and fed well,
three times a day. According to Chief
Commissary Steward Craver. the blue.
jacket who Is unable to eat his share
at mess has yet to be found. Mr.. Cra-
yer has figured out that the food neces-
sary for single meal on the average
day Is about as follows: Seven thou
sand pounds OF roast chicken, 1000
pounds OF mashed potatoes, 500 quarts
Of gravy, $4,000 radishes, 1900 toma-
toes. 1000 pounds of green peas, 400
gallons of ice cream. 5000 pounds OF
cake, 1000 pounds of milk, 6,O00 loaves
OF bread and about 5000 quarts Of cof-
fee. A simple order of "ham and" for
all hands calls for ,440 dozen OF eggs
and 1900 pounds Of ham.

sports at Great Lakes. Bouts are held
every Thursday afternoon In a ring
pitched In natural amphitheater in a
ravine on the reservation, and thou
sands OF persons from the surrounding
communities attend them.
Competition between the men of the

feel that he Is to be the honor OF his
company. Chief Turret Captain Jack
Kennedy, former champion Of the
north Atlantic feet, Is I'm charge OF
this part of the athletics. Ben Reuben,

however, are the favorite sports of the
men. Almost any Of the daylight
hours you will see sailors engaged I'm
batting and catching balls, while of
at one side others are sparring.
In these days of stress and strife
there is some competition for the title
of "the busiest man." but Captain Mof-
fett's assistants believe that he easily
leads the field. It takes three relays OF
stenographers, called yeomen In the
navy, to keep up with him. He rises
shortly after daybreak and is usually
at his desk until after midnight. Ere
quently II has been necessary for him
to have his luncheon and dinner served
on tray In his Office. He often trans
acts business while going to and from
his home, giving interviews and con-
ferences which he otherwise would
have no time for. As an example OF
the pressure of his business, more than
900 visitors appeared at the station In

.|NGERSOL SPEAKS ON REALTY CONDITIONS Members of National Asso- citation Guest of Local
 Exchange

Real estate conditions throughout the country are booming, according to Tom Ingersol, executive secretary of the Ma tonal Association of Real Estate ex- changes, who was in Birmingham yes- terday, and spoke to the local exchange at it's regular luncheon at the Eillman hotel
 Practically every member of the ex- change was present to hear Mr. Ingersol speak. saHe was introduced by President Bert Throckmorton.
 MT. Ingersol praised the local real estate board for the active work it is doing. He was in Birmingham when the exchange was organized several years ago, he said, and he had watched it's growth with surprise and interest
 ''The Buy Home movement fostered by your board was one of the biggest things that has ever been undertaken by a real estate exchange in the country he said, and you deserve to be congrat- ulated for putting over such big thing"
 Mr. Ingersol urged members of the local body to be prepared to enter the contest for the best oration to be held at the next annual meeting of the na- tional association.

TWILIGHT SLEEP"
 FILM COMING HERE
Famous Maternity Pictures Will Be Shown at Strand
 Theatre Next Week

The Strand will show next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the famous Twi- light Sleep films, visualizing the opera tion and effect of this wonderful discov- cry which startled the world a short while ago.
 These films were produced under the auspices of the Modern Mother league and under the personal direction of Dr, Kurt E. Schlossink of Frieburg, Germany, personal associate of Drs. Cause and kronig of Frieburg, who are the original inventors of the method known as tTwi- light Sleep"
 Commissioner Barber viewed these films at private showing Wednesday night and has approved them.
 Showing will be to women exclusively from 10 o'clock a. m. to o'clock D. m., and from [ o'clock p. m to 10 o'clock p. m., only men will be admitted. Young people under the age of F will not be permitted to attend. so the management of the Strand announces.
 Dr. Arthur H. Rollnck, a celebrated German orator, will lecture on Twilight Sleep before the films are shown. Dr. Rollnick possesses extraordinary ability as a lecturer, it is claimed, and deals with the subject in clear and pleasing manner.

FEBRUARY SHOWS
 P0STOFF|CE GAIN Smyer Says, However, Local Merchants Could Swell
 Total Considerably

Receipts at the local postoffice during last month will show an increase of about $2500 over February last year. AL though the official figures have not been compiled, it is estimated that the re- ceipts for last month will be about $51, ,0O0
 This is considered quite a gain over other months. However. Postma ster R. B. Smyer believes that the gain could be repeated if the merchants would practice their oft repeated text and trade in Birmingham"
 According to MT. Smyer, many of the local merchants who distribute calendars the first of the year sent money for the stamps on to Peoria, H., where the call endars were made, and had them mailed out to Birmingham people, instead of buying the stamps here It is estimated that between $30,000 and $40OO0 a year goes into the earnings of the Peoria postoffice through this practice of Bir- mingham merchants.
 AS the postoffce earnings are consid- the city, it seems that civic pride would make the merchants and corporations in Birmingham buy their stamps at home,' said Mir. Smyer. Until this is done, we cannot occupy the place we should occupy among southern cities. However, we are very much gratified over the steady in crease which has been shown in the post office receipts for many months"

BOARD REVENUE ID MEET COMMISSION County and City Officials to Confer on Phases of the
 Health System

To discuss the various angles of the health situation, the board of revenue and the city commission will meet this morning at 10 o'clock.
 Jere Gwin, president of the board of revenue, advised George B. Ward, head of the commission and proposer of the conference, yesterday afternoon that a conference, at 10 o'clock Friday morning, would be agreed ble. At this session an effort will be made to see if the two boards cannot agree upon straining their revenues to the point where the pro posed health system can be put into ef- feet in Jefferson county.
 George B. Ward has expressed the view that the commissioners are willing to do their part of the work. So far the board of revenue has made no statement
 Holding the opinion that the three bodes-the board of revenue. the city commission and the committee of health
 should forget all past troubles and get together for the sake of the public health, George B. Ward feels that some action will come from the joint confer ence.
