RED CROSS BULLETIN
REPORT DE GLASSES

The following report Of the Red Cross classes for the past year was given by Mrs. George Hughes at the annual meet ing of the chapter:
 During the year four classes have been passed the examination and now hold certificates in the course.
 "The amount of S60 has been turned into the treasury for textbooks and reg istration fees.
 'The purpose of this course is to give women little more technical training in nursing, that they might manage the sick in their own homes and communi- ties, thus releasing the graduate nurse for military service, and should the nurs ing supply be exhausted, then they would be called into military service them selves, to serve as nurses aids On Oc- tober IS we received such a call from the Gulf division, and b women respond ed. Their applica tions were sent in, and some had begun the required months training in the hospitals here. However the signing of the armistice has cancelled the need, but they have promised that their name would be kept on file, and if any further need develops they will be the first considered. Though the war has ended, we are instructed to continue the classes for many reasons.
 Just now we have 30 applicants for a new class, and we are only awaiting the new textbooks, which have been or dered.
 Tn addition to the home care of the sick, we have had two classes in first aid, taught by pr. Dabney and Dr. Kin caid, and have given certaificates to 30 students.
 Tn closing, we wish to express our thanks and appreciation to the Y. w. c A for the use of a room in their building for all of these classes.
 MRS. GEORGE HUGHES,
 Chairman Red Cross Classes.

\ NE of the attractive eevnts of the

 II month is the don bazar, which is W held this week on First avenue in the old Rich store, under the auspices of the Children's hospital.
 The place is most artistically deco rated and much credit is due Mrs. B. M. Allen who was the chairman of the decoration committee.
 The booths are adorned with trellis of smilax and here and there are potted plants against a back ground of dark green velvet, which divides the room in half.
 On one side is placed the housekeep- CTS booth filled with all sorts of good things, which will be appreciated by those who have not had time to can, preserve and pickle or to replenish her pantry for the holidays. when the homes will be filled with soldier boys who are longing for just such home made things
 Further down the aisle is the fancy work booth filled with handkerchiefs, guests towels, bags, baskets and other attractive articles
 One of the most attra ctive booths is the one filled with dollies for the soldiers l1iddies. They are beautifully dressed and greatly admired.
 The doll booth contains every sort of doll from the cheaply clad to those wearing hand made froeks. The dollies of the years ago are attractively dis played in a showcase near the entrance and many stop to get d glimpse ot them as they enter. There is one ot the childhood dolls of Mrs Frank Fowl kes, Mrs. Ernest Hettrick, Miss Ella Hubbard and others.
 The committee of workers of the bazar are most eager ito make success of the bazar as the funds will aid materially with the upkeep of the Childrens hos pital, one of the city's most worthy in- stitutions and the only one of the kind in Alabama.

POLICY IN SPORTS

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. 2.-"Yale
Is doing just right in not trying to
90 ahead with athletics on an elabo-
rate scale" said John Mack, YaIs's
track coach and football trainer. to-
day. People who criticise the ath-
letic officials for their attitude do NOT
understand conditions here. Tho ma
terial Is not here for intercollegiate
events. The university, athletic Of
ncisls are in full sympathy with the
undergraduates and their efforts to
have sports. but the membership of
the university has been cut in two,
and without athletes athletic events
are impossible.
IL have now only four or ave ath-
letes TO compose track team, Il II
were decided to organize one. The
college has given permission to enter
them In the Indoor winter meets, and
am taking them around, but dual
track meets with Princeton and Har-
yard would be impossible, in my esti-
nation"
Mack's statement is the FIRST given
by 9 professional coach or trainer at
the large uniyerslties since they gave
up athletics upon the outbreak of
war. and his Endorsement OF the stand
OF the university officials Is based on
the closest intimacy and observation
OF conditions governing all branches
of sport and material
He has been in general charge or
the preparation OF the athletes IN
every branch OF sport since the war
began, and he has added his senti.
ments to those of the athletic council

war conditions.
His attitude Is a thorough surprise
