Michigan's football prestige was per-
haps never at lower ebb than at the
present time, II the schedule of the
1917 varsity eleven is a criterion. The
only remedy it would seem, to prevent
the Wolverines from dying, In q foot
ball way, from dry rot, is a speedy re-
turn TO the western conference, but
although the students are willing, and
there seems TO be n general disposi-
ton to forget the incidents which led
to the withdrawal from the associa-
ton, those In control appear still to be
proud to submit to the terms. Long
ago Michigan felt that the conference
would cease to prosper without it. Now
the reverse is true, and only the con-
ference can save intercollegiate sport
at Michigan.

By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Anniston, December 29.-(Special) Nothing was left undone to make the Yuletide season one of joy for the boys of the Blue and Gray Every organi- zation of every kind combined in efforts to give their very best in service to cur soldiers during Christmas week.
 There were deep disappointments over furloughs denied. heavy hearts to be cheered.. One soldier remarked "I am sure I will never go into a battle that will require more courage than spending Christmas day away from my wife and three little children
 One young soldier proved veritable hero. Coming from headquarters, gaily singing. a furlough in his hand, full of eager anticipation of a dinner with the folks back home, visions of dances and gaieties, with the young folk of his home town, he met an officer chum with tears of disappointment in his eyes.
 Whats the matter, old chap?' asked the young soldier.
 q am trying to choke down my sorrow over disappointing my wife and little tots at home, he answered. T was granted a furlough, and had wired them l Sr It will be a gloomy Christmas for them with daddy away
 The young soldier halted a second, while he grappled with inward longing. Then he turned back In few moments he came to the officer sayings f'Here is your furlough, my friend. l have no wife anG little children, so I had my furlough made out to you. Go to those little tots and I'll stay here. Tell them you are their Christmas gift from me-.
 There were many wives and mothers who soothed aching hearts. longing for an absent soldier man in work for other mothers sons last week. Mrs. Joseph F. Aderhold is one of Anniston's patriots who has met the supreme test of patriot ism by gladly giving her son, Joseph Aderhoio. to fight for his country. Mrs. Aderhold is giving constant service to the khaki-clad lads of other mothers. She started the custom of writing to the mothers of the Camp Mcclellan boys to assure them that the women of Ala bama would do all within their power for the comfort and pleasure of their, priceless treasures.
 Some lonely soldier is ever being well ccmed and cheered in Mrs. Aderhold's home with generous bit of mothering and little bit of heaven. as the boys invariably term the joys of home life
 Mrs. Aderhold is a loyal member of the Daughters of the American Revou-' tion and the state historian of the Unit ed Daughters of the Confectionery. Her weekly historical articles in the Ala bama papers are highly valued by the daughters.

 Ky ROSALIE HAMPSTEAD HIGGINS
 Montgomery, December 29--tSpe- cial) )--Never in Montgomery's history have as many visitors spent the most joyful day in the year among the cit izcns of the Cradle of the Confeder- acy, when over 5000 strangers were guests of their soldier friends or rel atives at Camp Sheridan for the Christ mas holidays.
 They began arriving several days before Christmas and every train brought scores of them and the Union depot was the scene of many joyful meetings as a mother welcomed her son, whom she had not seen for months, or a soldier welcomed his sweetheart, who came herself as a Christmas gift to remain over for the holidays and in some instances to re- main longer, for there were a num- Der of weddings during the week.
 Of course, the most distinguished visitors were Gov. James Cox of Ohio and his wife, bride of September.
 Socially the week was very gay and Montgomery we'll sustained the repu- tation which it has always enjoyed for true southern hospitality. for there were parties everywhere. Perhaps the most interesting social function was the beautiful dinner given Monday evening by Gov. and Mrs. Charles Hen derson in compliment to Governor and Mrs. Cox.

RED CROSS ASKS
 FOR MORE ROOMS

The Birmingham Red Cross associa- tion has made such great growth that they have outgrown their present headquarters on the Loveman, Joseph 6, Loeb balcony and are needing more space for workrooms and for the manufacturing of hospital garments, such as pajamas, bathrobes, etc. They are, therefore, asking some patriotic persons to supply them with heated rooms either on the ground floor or with elevator service. They do not expect to give up their present quar- ters, but will retain them as a dis tributing headquarters and as place for the making of gauge bandages. They feel assured that big g-hearted. patriotic Birmingham will respond to this appeal in behalf of the army which is winning the war for Uncle Sam

 The New Years herald, Hope, stands waiting on the threshold with his star.
 Grave and strong bright as PhoenlX will the young New Year, out Of the ashes of the old, leap forth to rule the world in triumph.
 He is coming from the country of youth and in his small closed fist is held mys- terious and unknown events of which we long to know.

Why else exists the palmist in her dingy par Tor, or why do men of science inquire os the medium with the crystal globe? All seek to pierce the intangible veil thar hides the days to come This is the great allurement of the mystic New Year. will he be a giver of beautiful gifts! Yes. He will stand like an archer, his culver full of days, and will shoot them with the speed of swift winged arrows. There will be days of labor, of joy, of N tears and rest and love.
 K The year will bring friends and ann bition which all the years have brought, since men toiled or aspired or thought or loved. He will bring the sunshine (which will awaken the buds now dream ing upon every tree, and stir them into Affe and color and fragrance. Just so he will arouse ideas of duty and cour- N age in the hearts of men.

It will De the most tremen- Adous period in the worlds history and the spirit of sacrifice for Uncle Sam, without which the war cannot De won, rSust glow in every heart with divine fife.
 New Years has always been time of feasting and gaiety, many of the ancient customs being very interesting. In the old Dutch times in New York, New Years day has been time for visiting and feasting, which spread to other cities, and finally was carried to such excess that it had to be discontinued in social self-defense.
 
 In Birmingham it has been customary for many years past to celebrate the ar N rival of the New Year With an elaborate and brilliant ball at the Country club. w This year, however, on account of the iNWar. the annual ball on New Years eve Twill be noted for the extreme simplicity of it's observance. There will be no dec orations and no favors will be given. Many soldiers will be present from the nearby camps, besides those who are spending the holidays with relatives and friends, and their uniforms will harmon ize with the bright costumes of Bir- ningham's s lovely young women. And far more attractive than decorations and favors which could be bought will glow the true spirit of patriotism upon this occasion.
