HOUSEWIVES LEAGUE ACTIVITIES

Now that the summer months are past
 and working time has come again, the
 Housewives league has renewed its ac-
 tivities and is carrying forward the
 splendid work begun last winter. Last
 week three big boxes carrying foodstuffs
 weighing 2S2 pounds, were sent by the
 members of the base hospital at An
 niston.
 The meetings which. during the sum
 mer have been held at the w. c. T. U. headquarters, will take place during the coming months at the Chamber of Com merce on the second and fourth Thurs days of every month.
 This will accommodate the large crowd which it is hoped will attend the edu- cational features of the league. MT. Hor nady is soon to speak on 'The Milk Supply of Birmingham" and MT. Hob- bic, state food administrator, has been asked to talk on How to Win the War | in Our Kitchens" MT. Bushfield, the United States market station assistant, has consented to tell of his work here. I The league also hope to have a trained 1 detician give series of lectures. 1 Mrs. Vernon Long has received much deserved recognition for her complete
 understanding of bread making, and many Birmingham housekeepers are in- debted to her for their knowledge of i war bread and cotton seed flour bread. The Housekeepers club of East Lake has l asked Mrs. Long to demonstrate her | breads, and it is such disseminated l knowledge IS this which will conserve foodstuffs and give practical help in our patriotic struggle.
 1 It must not be forgotten that the point most stressed by the government is an
 understanding and able handling by 1 every individual housekeeper of the food supply of her family. It Is no longer a question of whether we care to or not. It has become our duty to look after ! this part of the mighty work and the l Housewives league is endeavoring to open up channels which will facilitate ways and means and create interest i along these lines.

lN h7Y DEAR BECKY: I do believe
 llWll that society is just too busy

lA MlY DEAR BECKY: I do believe U\Vll that society is just too busy AVA these days to notice that the au- tumn season is almost over and that with few exceptions there were no elabo- rate receptions or large affairs that have usually marked this period in other years and which time has always been so alive with frivoities.
 Everyone seems to be so occupied with the big serious things of life which the war has made so necessary both for the young as well as the old, but if you are a bit incredulous as to the splendid work and really hard work by those who never knew before what actual work meant it is simply because you are not aware of what is being done
 There is an old saying: Satan finds mischief for idle hands to do," but just now the old fellow is having, or ought to have, mighty hard task finding idle hands, for in counting over the war ac- tivities of women in Birmingham, one would think that every woman had found a place for her bit. A woman writer in the east recently put the case up to Nthe women very strongly In these words, saying:
 Tt is your time (not your leisure only), your strength to the last dregs (not your surplus energy), your money (not your spare change) that your country asks of you now. In face of the tremendous need for concentrated effort, how any woman can waste an hour in the old time way of wasting leisure hours is a mystery. And yet even now there are thousands of them still doing these things apparently unmindful of the na- tion's hour of peril"
 But my dear even in the midst of wal relief activities numbers of little in formal gaities will creep in unobtru- sively, giving bit of social interest te dull days and evenings.
 There are few debutantes this win ter but no big parties only few whicf are very small and informal.
 It really seems that the younger set t suffering more than any circle with SC many of the young men away. It woule be difficult to find partners to go around even were there any real big affairs
