There are two capacious pockets which are only allowed in this day of conservation of fabric, because the carry ing home of small bundles has become a wartime fashion.

The Kappa Delta Convention, Assembling Girls From
 Be Unique" Says Mrs P. H. Pitts Grand Marshal

the northern and the southern girls to know each other well during the time.
 The biennial convention will last throughout next week." Mrs. Pitts said,
 the finale being a banquet at the Tut wiler Friday evening, which was chosen some months ago as headquarters for the convention. Of course, no one is permit ted to attend the meetings of the fra ternity except the members, but the ban quet is sort of an open meeting, as it were, and the members invite guests for that occasion.
 There are 23 chapters of the Kappa Delta fraternity" Mrs. Pitts said, "Ala- bama having two, one at the university and the other at the Judson The chapter at the university of which was a mem Der, being a graduate of that institution, is one of the oldest of all the chapters. The establishment of other chapters at the well known colleges throughout the south is continuing from year to year and the Kappa Delta is one of the most de- sirable of all the womens organizat tions of this kind, particularly for southern women, as it has such distinctly south ern atmosphere.
 Personally I feel greatly responsible for the convention here" Mrs. Pitts said, for I am proud of Birmingham, and I want the girls who come here from distance to see it at it's best. Our meet ings will all be held at the Tutwi1er, and from next Monday afternoon, when the convention opens, to Saturday, there will be an addition of 125 girls, members of the Kappa Delta, who will be the guests of Birmingham. Every one of these 125 girls from Maine to Florida will take back to their home towns impressions of us, and I hope that they will be favoraoie. It is a wonderful time for the members of the fraternity, this biennial, as it is the only time we have chance to see each other and really promote the frater- nal spirit of our order"

sembling girls from all parts
 of the United States here next week will be uinque It is the first time that Birmingham has had such conven- ton and the northern and western girls are looking forward with a great deal of pleasure to visiting the Magic City.
 Mrs. P. H. Pitts (Minnie Cocke), who is the grand marshal of the convention. and one of the most cultured and highly eo,,- cated of all the college women of this state, made the foregoing statement yes terday just prior to meeting the members of the national council of the Kappa Del ta fraternity. who arrived as an advance guard to the regular members. who will reach Birmingham next Monday.
 Mrs. Pitts is very enthusiastic about the convention and feels that it is going to be big thing for Birmingham. She has enthusiastically promoted the con Yention since it was decided at the last biennial that Birmingham would be the meeting place and with the usual cor diality and hospitality which character lzes southern women she is doing every thing in her power to make the occasion one long to be remembered by the girls who are in attendance
 There's only one thing that regret, Mrs Pitts said in speaking of the con- vention. Tt being the first time that q great many of the girls have ever visited here and having heard so much about the gallantry and chivalry of our southern men, they will find such a scarcity in the ranks of our boys being so broken into by the fact that so many have gone to war Those who remain must make up

SOME OLD IDEAS GONE

When 1 left this merrie village to see for myself what lay south of it and west my first impression was one of wonder as to why people lived in other places. had the native New Workers convic- tion that the country at large was peo- pied with two classes of men and women those temporarily exiled from New York by some sort of business which would soon allow them to return, and those accidentally born elsewhere, who would scramble east at the first glim- mer of opportunity.
 It hardly seemed possible that anyone could want to live far from Broadway, and I wasn't quite sure there would be a hotel in Portland. Ore, or that Chey enne was safe from Indians I felt posi- tive Raleigh N. C., would have to be told the civil war was over I pictured Phoenix, AriZ, as cluster of board shaclSs and water hole in the sage brush desert. And Kansas City as a modest replica of Newark
 Now, l have not applied for a job in Kansas City. Nor have I checked my trunk to Fl Paso, Tex, although there seemed more opportunities to make a living here than any other towns I ex- plored. I am not even shouting "See America First!''
 For while the west can instruct the east in bigness, modernness and the gol- den quality of good fellowship, 1t is as like the east as the youngest and sprightliest in a family of girls resem- bles her older sister. Whether you travel 300 miles or 5000 miles, the starry flag flies over the same sorts of peo- pie.

FOLKS MUCH ALIKE

Barring small differences they talk alike, dress alike, eat alike, think alike, live alike, love alike and play alike. They have the same problems, ambi- tions, viewpoints.
 To be sure, in the south they have negro laborers In place of Italians In the southwest there are Mexicans in- stead. In the west and northwest, Japs and Chinese. In the middle west, Czechs.
 In Savannah you eat terrapin and fried chick. Fl Paso burns you with polenta and tamales. The Pacific SUD- plies crayfish and fine fat crabs. The beer of the beer belt, I am told, is be- yond compare

SCHOOLS ARE REVELATION

I wish Mr. Huyler and Mary Elizabeth and Page and Shaw knew how to fix up an establishment with one-tenth the charm of the Chocolate Shop or the Pig'n Whistle in Los Angeles do wish somebody would tell me why 1t is left to Los Angeles to surpass every other city in the world in the physical beauty or It's retail food marts. Perhaps 1t Is because Los Angeles has 80 many vis- itors. And so many semi-invalids who have to be tempted into eating. And so many residents from all over the world who are hard to please and in sistent upon novelty. Whatever the reason is Los Angeles has achieved the apex of shop attractiveness, from raw meats to jewelry.
 I wish New York would have more clean, white glossy tile buildings and wash their faces up to the second story every three months as Pittsburg does.
 l wish the east had such roads as exist in California, Oregon and Wash ington California lays a 25-foot strip of asphalt in the center of a 40-foot roadbed and shoots these glass smooth highways all over the state from San Diego to Crescent City, from the Pacific ocean to the Nevada line, whenever mountains do not block the way.
