WOMEN ON THE JOB

"Let the women do the work and the men can join the army" may not be the exact words of Manager Gilchrist of the Norton Drug company. but in effect that Is what it all means when. you go thirst-quenchfng at NortOn's, for the girls are on the jOb at the fount now.
 You wonder why it is. though you like 1t and can't see why they didn't think of 1t before. But it is this way. The boys want to join the army. Manager Gilchrist said something about their jobs being ready when they came back. At least it was patriotic, and when simmered down meant, "Go to it.'' And they are off. And now we have ladies in the role of heavy thirst clerks and the soda dis penser is learning how to drill with . piece of iron on his should CTS that has not ceased to be heavy yet.
 And can't you see how the wom- en can serve their country while the men go to the frOntf So be patient when you get cherry in your dope-no matter if you did order lime. swig her down and call 1t patriotism, for they will get onto the game fasteF than the man they succeeded did. Watch lem.

CITY IS LIVING WITHIN INCOME Despite Increased Prices Report Is Satisfactory in Comparison With Pre-

The city of Birmingham spent for the first six months of the fiscal year according to the report of the city comptroller to the city commission.
 $993,50S.s5, and received from it's vari- ous sources of revenue $1,1S5 466 50.
 This report covers the months of De- tober November. December, January. February and March, and was com piled at the close of business on March i31, 1917.
 In comparison with like periods in l1915 and 1916, the statement is credi-

BIG STORES AID
 THE COMMUNITY
 SINGING WEEKLY
Employees to Be Trained by Lawrence-Rehearsals to Be Resumed Tomorrow
 at the Tutwiler

The interest being manifested locally in promoting community music is to re- ceive support from five of Birmingham 8 large business establishments.
 The following indorsement was signed up yesterday:
 we, the undersigned merchants of Bir- mingham do hereby heartily indorse the plans for the inaugurating of community music in Capitol park during the coming summer.
 "In order to assist Director Lawrence in preparing the public for participation in the singing of our national airs and folk songs we will set aside a certain time each week when our employees may assemble Win our respective stores and practice the songs and learn the words.
 'LOVEMAN, JOSEPH & LOEB,
 LOUIS SAKS CLOTHING CO,
 "STEELE-SMITH CO,
 "CAHEEN BROTHERS,
 BURGER DRY GOODS CO"
 This indorsement will institute one weekly rehearsal in each of the five stores on the music and words of patriotic airs and folk songs. At a given time during the day all employees of the five stores included in the agreement will assemble in their respective stores for 30 minutes and receive instructions under Robert Lawrence, director of the Community chorus. All customers present at the hour specified and the general public will be invited to participate.
 It is hoped through this medium in a large measure to meet the demand for a thorough knowledge of the words of the national airs These store community singings will be held during the next five weeks up to the time when community singing will commence in Capitol park, the first Sunday in June.
 Another evidence of the popularity of this community movement and of the hearty support it is receiving was pre- sented to MT. Lawrence last week by Fred Shireman, manager of the Tutwiler hotel, who invited the Community chorus to hold it's next rehearsal on the meg zanine of that hostelry.
 All the ladies and gentlemen who are members of any singing organization in Birmingham are invited to attend this rehearsal Monday night at the Tutwiler at o'clock, together with all men and women who might desire to become mem- bers of the Community chorus. No mu- scal knowledge is necessary on the part of the members, the only qualification be- ing that the applicants will be regular and faithful in attendance and do all that they can to promote the interests of music in the community. There are no dues or fees in connection with mem bership in the Birmingham Community chorus, the only expense being few cents for music.

GOOD LUCK TO HOOVER.
Congress passed the food con-
troll bill practically as the Pres
dent and Herbert Hoover wanted
it. An entire month was wasted
in the Senate and that delay will
seriously interfere with Hoover's
plans. He had hoped to begin
operations by July 1st, and, as l
have stated in these letters if he
had been given his way he would
have secured a firm grip on the
nations food supply before the
spectators could have tied up
any considerable portion of it
with contracts.
From the beginning the House
has had faith in Hoover and the
Senate has antagonized him. The
House finally had it's way and com
PEELED the Senate to back down
on every amendment which was
designed to hamper the food ad-
ministrator.
Now it is up to Hoover! Can
he force down the cost of living
without injuring the producer?
He thinks he can and the presi-
dent shares his confidence. The
rest of US can we'll afford to wish
him luck.
He has tackled the biggest job

"A million men-as sound of

I'VE want the soldiers folks
at home to feel that he is going
to stay sound. that he is not go

privilege of striking a blow for
his country. This is not mere
sentiment. 1t is good economy

IF more foodstuff goes into

IF the beer drinking ones are

WOULD INSURE sEAMEN.

Pres. Wilson approves the plan
suggested TO insure the lives of
American seamen during the war.
lie says:
Certainly we would not do
less for the lives of our seamen
without whose services it would
be impossible to keep our mer-
chant fleet upon the high seas,
than we do for property itself,
said the President. THE insur-
snce plan provides not only for
insurance Of the. lives of the men
against the risks Of war upon the
high seas, but also for certain in
IDENTITIES for loss of limb, as
well as compensation during cap
tivity." The total indemnity for
loss of life is to be not less than
81, 500 nor more than $o,Vo
with proportionate pay for loss
of limb.
