E1ATTLE HIGHLANDS WRITES ABOUT THE
 INTEREST OF WOMEN TN WAR WORK

, over teacups, will enjoy bit of social intercourse during the week. l heard very charming group of wom- en asking and wonder.n few days ago why they did not have the tea on Satur- day afternoon, as that seems to be day off for us all, even the men and boys that are left.
 One of the young college fellows said to me, "Wel, Miss Hattie, it seems that despite the war we are to have our base ball and some football. too. Games will be played here as well as in the east and west on gray, bleak days, amid flurries that suppressed undercurrent of holiday excitement prevailing"
 The great jubilee luncheon on Wednes- day at the Southern club, which was given by the women of the second liberty loan committee of which Mrs. Prentiss Reed was the inspiration was one of the notable events of the liberty loan week. The speakers were magnificent. MT. Ad- ans gave facts and figures that were simply appalling. The entire subject seems to me so clear that I can not imagine any American woman or man owning the wherewithall to purchase his quota of the loan hesitaing to do so.
 
 Believe me, the women are not the only ones who realize they must or can knit for our dear soldier boys. Now, there is one man, and real man, too, as he is superintendent of large fertili- ger plant of this city, who can knit.
 His name is MT. w. c. Mattison: he is neither old nor young, only about 50 years old, who bought his own yarn and nee dies and completed in the most beautiful manner handsome sweater, which he has presented to the Red Cross. He is a native of Sweden where he learned this splendid art In the most fin shed man. ner while quite a youth. Now, Becky, think this splendid man has set a very fine example for many more who have passed the soldier age.
 I also saw a very beautiful scarf made by an Ensley man, I can't remember his name just now. but the workmanship would have made many of we women ashamed.
 Let me tell you of very interesting event that will take place in the near future. that Is. the wedding of Dean billiard and Ebert Jemison. The en- eagenlent was announced today and while 1t will come as a surprise to many, we had been told many moons ago (by a little bird, of course). The wedd ns of this popular young couple will be quite an event on account of the prominence of both families, efen If 1t is very quiet on account of the war times and the young soldier being on duty.
 Dean is the only daughter of MT. and Mrs. Mason Dillard, and since her debut has been one of the most admired girls n southern society. Ebert Is the young est son of Mir. and Mrs. Robert Jemison, and is one of the finest and most popular boys in Birmingham.
 Will write you again in few days and will try and tell you some news real news. Sincerely,

ders as president of the board. Mrs. Thompson, one of the Wednesday Study clubs brightest and most com petent members, as secretary. repre- sents the club on the library board.
 While not started for that purpose. the Carnegie library will prove to be almost as much of war library as the one situated on the camp grounds. Among the 4000 soldiers at Camp Me- Clellan, there are hundreds of Ameri- ca's most intellectual students, who are looking forward with eager in- terest to having access during their leisure hours Tn town, to the rare vol umes of the Carnegie library. The H. brary promises to be favorite retreat for the influx of soldiers mothers, wives and sweethearts who have poured into the city.
 You see, with the responsibility Of two libraries, Anniston has her hands full. It Is earnestly hoped that the patriotic people of Alabama will lend helping hand by sending larger con- tributions, more books and more mag azines to the men who are volunteer ing their lives in service for us. Camp Mcclellan is not Anniston's camp; 1t belongs to the nation and people in other towns should feel 1t to be their duty to help the soldiers here just as much as If they were encamped in their own towns.
 Having seen the great appreciation shown by the soldier boys of every at tention bestowed upon them, Birming- ham has become almost as interested in soldier welfare as Anniston.
 A happy bunch of boys boarded the train bound for Birmingham Saturday afternoon in response to an invitation from Magic City hostesses. who for a weekend are giving the boys the joy of home life.
 The convaiescents In the base hospital are still talking about that good home made candy sent by the Birmingha m women and perehance wishing for more. By the way, when you come to Anniston. bring along all the magazines you can find. and leave them at the Red Cross workroom for the convalescents

group of men and worse still, some few women, towards whom the others, here assembled would not even glance, great was their disdain of them. The men were asking if they might not 7tlll buy liberty bonds and the new Y. M. c. A. war bonds and the women were vainly calling for knitting and regretting having wasted the soldiers food.
 T was glad that had gotten both Kinds of bonds while I was still in Birmingham and just before I awoke they began separating the crowd and conducting each assemblage to their special torture chamber. where the punishment was made to fit the crime. Above the door of the apartment to which the misguided ones were escort ed was displayed one terrible word. 'slackers'"
 mother whose son is in ono of the camps in the east has recently sent me note about respective value of knitting things whicn may be of in terest to you as one of the knitters. She suggests that tell all my friends In view of the periodical attacks made upon the work of the women doubtless ny env1ous people who cannot learn the art and as usual grudge others what they themselves are unable to enjoy. Any way, this mother approves or the knitting and I am sending you part or the letter from this young soldier on this matter. He says:
 'Apropos of knitted things you spoke of. the sweaters are worn by eNerypody, but more as an undergar- ment. The men wear them under their shirts and undercoats. as they are wonderful for keeping in the heat of the body. They cannot be worn out fhnxr nnt Fegulation. They are also worn at night. Mine has been a great comfort. Up to this time the helmets are very little in evidence, as it has not been showing. but I can imagine what a comfort they would be in winter, and this would apply also to wristlets and mufflers.
 The socks are absolutely indispensable nave worn two pair of government issued cotton socks in the last two days, and both are in holes; while all last year, on the Mexican border. I wore your Knitted socks and there was only one SOCK that went to pieces, and that not badly.
 Keep up knitting the sweaters and socks. They are a real necessity every body else's opinion to the contrary not Withstanding. You may be sure that we all are very grateful for the time, labor, money and love you are putting into that work. And so, ladies, knit! knit! knit"

1t is proposed to make some of this
a part of the university

taught a trade at the same time, ac-
