Restaurant Man
 Feeds the Soldiers

" ESTERDAY Charles Pantaze, i 0 one of Birmingham's prominent Greek-American citizens, gave a chicken dinner to the soldiers and of ficers who are stationed in Birming- ham. Operating two of the largest restaurants in the city, MT. Pantaze was able to play the host on lavish scale. Nothing that has been done for the soldiers since they have been in Birmingham has been more enjoyed or more appreciated.
 Yesterday was also Mothers Day and the guardsmen were doubly grate- full to MT. Pantaze for his hospitality, because many of them have deprived themselves of the comforts and pleas ures of home life to do military duty for their country.
 MT. Pantaze has shown his patriot ism in a substantial way and has set good example for other citizens of Birmingham to follow. The National Guardsmen encamped here should be considered the city's guests and treated accordingly. Last week Creek Americans donated a generous supply of cigars, cigarettes and chewing gum to the camp.

WHAT BRYANT MISSED

From the MacOmb GID Journal.
 Miss Ruth Rodgers, who represented Mrs. Arlington, Claudias mother. was upon the stage but a short time, but performed the difficult feat of dying gracefully Her demise was strictly a la Thantopsis and had Bryant himself been present he could have had very little opportunity for adverse criticism.

What 1t Means to Waste

''Simgle Slice of Bread" A@ ONE forceful arguments have g been advanced against the na- tional sin of wastefulness. One of the most striking appeared recently in the Cincinnati Times-Star. There are 20,- 100000 homes in the United States, says this excellent newspaper, and if every one of these homes should waste one slice of bread day, 70OO,- 900 bushels of wheat would be wasted in a year. or the annual product of 470,000 acres.
 In many homes it would considered strict economy to waste no more than one slice of bread day. Hundreds Ad thousands of families, before the ,sent agitation to conserve food Ear started, threw almost as much whi into the garbage can as they con- 11narped.
 of he Times-Star correctly assumes old
 the war "may have incidents that ~ Ne as blessings under Martain dis errse." If it teaches American people, hef
 on parsimony, but common sense
 nomy, which permits full enjoy
 mt of the good things in life with xoow extravaganza and wastefulness, it will confer lasting benefit.
 There were many indications that the American people were in need of a hardening process. The war seems to have come along in time to save ui from ourselves, not alone in the Batter of venial sins, which are of -sser import, but in the larger, spir- Hual sense.

Eaaller Beer Glasses 'AF or Comey Island


 l 0HE old-fashioned man with an old-fashioned beer thirst who --sits Coney Island is apt to have a .~d awakening. A veracious newspa- r correspondent infroms his readers ,ck home that smaller glasses have en found to serve beer in, although Yte small glass was proverbial at ney, and new dispensers have been red who are expert in serving twice as much foam and half as much lr"
 While sympathizing acutely with - frequenters of Coney Island, who I've journeyed thither so often in st years that "hot dogs" and beer Live become necessary to their hap
 ess and peace of mind, dwellers in rs part of the country wonder, nev- | Iheless, how people can criticize the bs.k of the glass, so long as they get the lbeer.
 m drinking centers of the country thsrf are still places where the schobner is large and the collar" not too high for comfort, but they are no lonGor numerous and they are not at 6ll Fashionable.
 However, the decrease in the size of beer glasses at Coney will only af- feet the man who buys glass at lime, instead of bottle, and even he comes prepared to spend his money freely. Not until the glasses have diminished to the size of thimble, will this easy-going individual protest.

English Girls

{ Special to The Times. J


LONDON, England, May o.
England fears cigarets are under
mining the girlhood Of the nation.
Never before has the smoking
evil among shop girls gripped the
country. The practice has become
SO general, persons who were
shocked when they saw woman
smoking look upon this sight daily
with tolerance and even slight
degree OF approval.
Hundreds OF girls working in a
southern aeroplane factory smoke
during the noon hour and the
place in which they do II is the

citation hut!
Tobacco dealers say girl work
ers smoke as many as 200 cigarets
day. Before the war smokers

among women. A physician work
ing near a munitions plant says
he has IA women patients suffer
ing from this trouble.
The result, physicians fear, may
be stunted generation following
the present.
The tobacco habit has brought
more women into the courts. They

about divided in sentiment" he
said. What feeling there is for
Germany does not arise from any
hatred toward the western pow
ers. II Is because of Russia.
Old Enemies.
Russia, you know. is Sweden's
old enemy, and the bitterness to-
ward her has been increased In
the last Is years by the appear
ance of Russian spies In Sweden
and the building Of strategical
railways in Finland, which could
have had no other purpose than
for a war OF aggression against
our nation"
Much Of the apprehension
about Sweden's neutrality in the
war has arisen from Sweden s
trade with Germany. Germany,
having taken possession of the
largest coal mines of France, has
had practical control of the coal
supply of Europe. AS Sweden
PRODUCES very little coal, she has

'FAWCETT
WINSOUT
AS USUAL

Attempts by city councilmen TO
reinstate Chief Deputy City Clerk
Clark Donovan, after his position
had been secretly abolished in an
ordinance slipped through the
council two weeks ago, failed
Wednesday when Commissioner
Gronen voted with Mayor Fawcett
against an ordinance re-establish-
ing the office.
Gronen's vote caused surprise,
as he had intimated to other men,
bers of the council that he consid-
cred the Donovan case political
scheme.
He explained after the council
session that he had voted against
the ordinance because he did not
believe Donovan had treated the
city fairly in accepting work as an
automobile salesman during his
recent 60-day leave of absence.
Donovan resigned at noon We'd
nesday, after learning of the fail
ure of the ordinance to pass. Had
he remained, he would have been
forced to accept position as
stenographer, at $85 month.
1t was limited among members
Of the council that City Clerk
Nickeus might be removed, as a
result of his changing an ordi-
nance without the councils knowl-
edge.
Should he be discharged by the
council, Donovan will be appoint
ed city clerk, 1t was reported.
Only three votes are necessary to
remove the city clerk. although
four votes were required to pass
the ordinance reinstating Dono-
van.
