 Red Cross, Red Cross, have you any 1 wool7
 Yes, ma am, yes ma.am, two rooms full ! Some for mitts and sweaters, Some for mufflers warm,
 And all for our boys in France, to keeI them safe from harm From Rhymes of Red Cross Knitter "
 Knit and the world knits with you, Don't and you don't alone" This Is the motto of the feminine world of Birmingham, at any rate the in- 1 habitants of which are busy knitting for the soldiers, under the direction of the local chapter of the Red Cross. The center of activities is the knitting head quarters at 409 North Twentieth street. There wool is distributed every Tuesday and Friday from 9:30 a. m. to D. m, and the finished garments are received on the same day. Knitting instructors are there every day to teach those who do not know how to knit.
 The object of the knitting activity is to provide Birmingharn's allotment of 12OOO knitted garments before cold weath- CT for our soldiers in the trenches. The severe winters in northern France and Flanders and the wet and dampness in the trenches make extra warm clothing an absolute necessity. The government in the stress of fitting out it's "Sammies'' in uniforms and equipment, finds itself unable to supply the woolen garments and has called on the Red Cross to step into the breach and furnish enough for million men, This Is rather a large order and will tax the time and ability of the women of the United States to fill. But they have never failed their men yet in any emergency, and it is safe to prophecy that no American sol dier will go to the front unprovided with knitted Woolen muffler, sleeveless sweat er wristlets and sox.
 In the Magic City the knitting has progressed admirably. Knitting units have grown up over night, as it were
 
 at the Y. w. c. A. by Miss Ella Polk Hubbard. Mrs. T. l.. Hill has charge of large unit of 100 members at the tele- phone exchange. The Highlands Meth odist women, led by Mrs. R. s. Munger, had more than hundred knitters at their Monday meeting. Miss Whidden of the Tennessee company has organ ized a huge unit among her secretaries and teachers and has promised 800 gar ments.
 Tn spite of all this activity there Is need for yet more workers. Plenty Of wool is on hand and will be given out today at headquarters. Mrs. T. o. Smith, the chairman of knitting, appeals to every woman in Birmingham to set aside for the time being her own work and pleasure and to knit, knit, knit, so that the larger part of Birmingham's share of knitted garments may be sent to the soldiers by October l.
 Come to headquarters today and get your wool and instructions.
 Jack London, son of MT. and Mrs. John M London, will entertain a few friends at his home this evening at dancing party.
