Alabama,s Red cros. Work


 During the Red Cross convention or rather conference, you might say, which is being held in Birmingham said Leigh Carroll, a former Birmingham man, but now of New Orleans, and di- vision manager of the gulf division of the American Red Cross society, Il have been greatly impressed with the splendid work that Alabama has ac- complishcd. m
 "We did not choose Alabama for the first conference on account of it's al- phabetical standing, but on account of the fact that it was the first state to be organized in the gulf division, and the most efficiently organized. From this conference, we mean to dissemi- nate information to other states. taking Ala bama as fair example of what organiza tion can do and is doing. Bring ing together the chapters in each state for conference seems to me fine idea, for in this way the get-together spirit as it were, becomes dominant, and ev- erybody learns something from every body else.
 "The work of the women in Red Cross activities has been wonderful. If it were not for the women there would be no Red Cross they are the ones who do the practical work, making band ages, nursing the sick, caring for the wounded, doing the canteen work, sup plying lunches, meeting trains, or in other words the women do the same line of work in Red Cross that they do in their homes, while the men are trying to take care of the financial end of the game as they do in their every day life. I regard the present confer cree of Red Cross chapters of AlaA bama as a most beneficial and inspir ing feature and one from which much I good is en1anSte' ''

Do BETTER At HOME
THE EQUIVALENT OF THIS IN
NORWEGIAN LED TO LAW
SUIT LAST WEEK.

'Du vii tjeme med at du err JENNIE"
or translated into English, "You can
do better by working at home, was the
basis Of a lengthy lawsuit in circuit
court this week.
The case was that of Mrs. Minnie
Brown VS.. the estate Of the late Will
liam Nelson of Boscobel. Mrs. Brown,
whose maiden name was Minnie Oss,
came to the Nelson home when her
mother married Mr.. Nelson. Upon her
becoming of age she remained to labor
for several years, doing domestic
work in a house Of fourteen rooms and
at times acting as Mr.. Nelson's secre-
tary.
Through her attorneys, Blaine &
Kemp, she asked for pay for IA
weeks, this being from March %, 1912,
when she became Of age, to Dec. %,
1914, when she married. The entire
sum figured at $3.50 per week is $648.
Mrs. Brown successfully proved to
the jury that when she preached the
subject of compensation to her step
father and the latter said in Norwe-
gian that "she could do better by stay
ing at home" he meant compensation
of some sort. AS a result the jury held
on two questions that Mr.. Nelson in
tended to compensate her for services
or at least so indicated by his re-
marks, and that $3.50 per week was
not too much for her labor.

dence. The water broke through some
time Thursday night, and from Friday
until Sunday the water poured from
a large cavity down the street to the
drains.
The break was located and repaired
on Sunday, but this was preceded by
much shutting off and pumping. Gates
were closed beyond the break in five
places, and at Col. Clark's, the jail, the
old Wright house and city hall. This
was necessary to reduce the back
pressure. Then hand pumps came into
use to get the water out. Pumping
went on for a day or more.
A hole was torn in the ground at
the break 31a feet in diameter and
five feet deep. A crack was found in
the main pipe caused probably by
drilling year ago to repair a break
in the side pipe leading to the Schrein-
er home.
