planned, will be to release traokage

creased facilities for the movement Of

 the eagerness of these young men ant women as they make their talk a the tables largely an analysis of tn, great food conservation problems. Tn, I question seems to be everybody's ques 1 tion not alone the home makers. We
 must now eat to live and that our al lies may live and not live to eat a.
 many seem to have been doing in tn, l past.
 And speaking of edibles-and every.
 body is these war days, when food ] conservation is one of the most i'm portant subjects of conversation-have you been lucky enough recently to i drop in at Miss Jenny's lunchroom and enjoy some of her real home cook l ing? If you haven't, you really must i do so, because there's nothing like it 1 anywhere. Such home like. comfortable 1 surroundings to begin with; such an air of aristocratic charm and dignity.
 In other words, just Miss Jenny's'' l beautiful personality permeating ev- | cry crevice of the little place and making it an ideal place to spend an
 hour. And you meet such wonderful people at Miss Jenny's lunchroom," too. Why. there are men who have taken lunch at Miss Jenny's" for more years than they'd care to admit: law yers bankers and merchants wlio wouldn't partake of their luncheon anywhere else for anything In the wide world. They've grown used to Miss Jenny's" homemade bread they've grown used to Miss Jenny.s" home made salads; they've grown used to Miss Jenny's" home made pie. In other words, Miss Jenny" has spoiled them to death and they couldn't be satisfied anywhere else. Was there ever anybody like Miss Jenny" any way? She has just stepped out of the frame of an old-fashioned portrait, with her old world manner which she so gracefully adapts to new world ease and her graciousness and charm carry even into the sordid circles of com mercialism an atmosphere which is ir- resistible and appealing.
 Another interesting thing which will be of interest to you as well as Bir- mingham people is that the fire Iaddies the boys in France. There was a won- derful picture of this group recently published a few days ago saying: These fire laddies of Rome, N. r., have found quite 8 deal of time to spare while waiting in their firehouse for blazes to start So all day and all night fire laddies on duty are at their knitting, turning out socks for the American fund for French wounded which installed three knitting ma chimes in the card room of the engine house.

HATTIE HIGHLANDS WRITES ON TOPICS
 OF INTEREST TO BIRMINGHAM WOMEN

RAT DEAR BECKY;
 l NWll You should have been here to
 have attended the suffrage jubilee
 luncheon on Wednesday at the Southern club, for it was apparently a success
 Certes it was, if great concourse oi notable people. men and women, mean anything.
 Amelia Worthington presided most gracefully and every one was in earnest, surely the speakers were.
 Senator Underwood the wonderful diplomat he is) was inclined to please his audience (yet I must tell you he is not for the federal amendment) He made us laugh several times when he told just how near Mrs. Underwood was converted to the federal amendment by Miss Lucy Burns. His sailies raised much merriment, tell you, and were respon- sively received.
 Mrs. Jacobs was in earnest and her talk rang with shafts of sarcasm at those who regarded the traditions of the party as too sacred to break through
 This clever woman was brilliant, our clever townswoman always is-and she was on the right side, too. but as one of the men said to me after it was over, whether she is or not it is always treat to listen to her.
 MT. Huddleston, our congressman, made good talk and gave us much encoul- agement by telling us that he felt sure that now the New York women had the vote the representatives from that state dare not vote against the federal amend ment. Think what they can now do with 36 representatives from one state voting their way
 Mrs. Spencer gave many facts, statist- cal as well as ethical. The luncers were delighted with this speech, and seemed thoroughly entertained when she told in details of the recent parade in New York. All the men told all the women that they had the power to win. the indifferent voter into patriots
 Some one whispered in my ear that these men seemed to know little of the power of passive resistance of their own sex, and we smiled knowingly-we had tried and we knew.
 It is always diverting to me to listen to good men "blarneyingp the unenfran- chised women on these occasions. As one of the girls said they recognize the wholesome interest that we take in pol itics and they also recognize that large portion of their own sex have the vote and won't even walk across the street to use it. Gwen Mir. Huddleston will say this is true)
 They all know, too, that women can help on the straight side of clean politics. yet they keep them out of their right, and yet they ask them to pull wires and make their men (when they have any) do this and that for them.
 Well, to return to the luncheon, it was great meeting, and ali had good time save those who could not get in, for I hear there were many who could not be served on account of the limited space.
 It has been said innumerable times that our people, many of them, fail to realize that we are in state of war and still there are many others who fail to know why we are in the | conflict being waged by so many sep | arate countries. Gradually though the | truth is being realized and perhaps | by To more effectua1 means than the | and meatless days in those places where people are being served | outside their home.

CAMP ACTIVITY COMMITTEE

Those who read Mrs. L. T. Beecher's account of her visit to the base hos pital at Camp Mcclellan at Anniston, where she found the womans touch so badly needed, will be glad to know there is a little band of Birmingham women trying to answer this call. known as the camps activity committed" On Thursday they sent their second box of homemade candy, preserves and other dainties to the sick boys at Camp Me- Clellan. They are perfecting plans to organize all the mothers who have sons enlisted in the army that they may dc a wonderful work in touching g chord or reaching the boy from an angle no other organization is approaching. Aside from cheer and comfort they hope to bring to the sick it will be their aim to help the we'll boy keep himself in tact" A letter, message of love, or kind deed from some mother might reach him in, his loneliest hour and stimulate him to continue in courage for high stand ards. There are. many of our Brming- ham women who have a great desire to do the little things that count so much, and we hope they will cooperate with the camp activity committee in their work of service.
