regular work among those who have not been involved in the war. The Sal vation Army is no exception to the rule; people have gone deep down into their pockets and they have given generously for all war purposes, but war or no war, the poor we have always with us, always, and the terrible suffering, that the families of the poor effected by the war have gone through Tn these last months is almost unbelievable-it is real ly pitiable!
 ''The Salvation Army's annual Christ mas dinner-our basket dinner" said Mrs Main, Ifs made through our Christ mas collections-the most prominent being lne pot boiling kettles; exery little nickel and dime and quarter means relief for some poor family; means food and nour- lshment on Christmas Day. We send out our Christmas baskets Christmas Eve to all the poor and the needs, we can possi- bly, supply; and on Christmas Day we have a Christmas tree for the poor chil- dren and every poor child we know of, has a present on that Christmas tree So you can readily see how much money it takes to provide Christmas dinner and Christmas presents for the large number of poor people included in our list. s4 M #s
 My husband" Captain Main," contin- ued Mrs. Main, "has sent out a letter explaining briefly those to be benefited ~ tie Christmas Pot Salvation Army of- fering, and it is just as we'll to quote 1t here; Captain Mays says:

C7Tl HE great civilian and industrial
 army at home is ready for it's in-
 S spection. The review will be held during this week. when the Christmas roll call of the American Red Cross will give every worker in every industrial plant an opportunity to come into the ranks. and show that he or she is behind the men who have been serving the col ors that the gratitude of the Americans who are working to keep the home fires burning" is with the boys who went across and whose work has been so well and so cheerfuHy done
 Each person is requested to sign the roll but once. Your signature and the payment of a dollar makes you a mem- Der. The Red Cross roll call is a drive for members. not funds
 Membership in the American Red Cross means being a partner. to the boys who have gone overseas, means comforts, hos pitals. care, food. It means reclamation Of devastated lands, rebuilding of homes. help for those who have been crippled by the war
 Last year during the membership drive cooperation of the employees in the great industrial plants meant much to the sue cess of the canvass. and this year, when nothing short of universal membership will be satisfactory, it is hoped that the response will be accordingly great.
 Managers of the larger plants have al- ready agreed to help the plans of the committees in charge by allowing Red Cross four-minute men to address the employees at noon hour, and to pass out

literature Which explains the aims and work of the Red Cross Good natured rivalry between the various departments is helping to stimulate interest and each department is working for the 100 per cent banner, which will show that every employe is enrolled.
 In previous years the workers have been asked to buy Red Cross seals at Christmas time and they have responded generously. This year no seals are to be sold, because the funds for the work of the National Tuberculosis association have already been provided by an appro- priation from the Red Cross. The seals will be forwarded this year, to each member who signs for the roll call. and tiny button-the Hove button''-with the blue, border and the bright red cross will show that the name has been en- tered on the lists of the nations back CTS
 The service flags for the industrial plants and department store will show the number enrolled in the plant or store, or the percentage of the entire pay roll which is on the Red Cross membership roll.
 Thursday has been set aside as "Em- ployes Day" and at that time special tribute will be paid to the part workers all over the country are playing in the work of the Red Cross.
 At this time when the nations of Eu- rope are depending so largely upon the efforts of America in their behalf, 1t is particularly fitting for the workers of America-those who know what it means to have a home to return to at night to be sending the message of love to the homeless across the seas.
 Peace will not lessen the work or the responsibility of the Red Cross. There are millions of homeless families, fa- therless children, sick, helpless and the sufferers of the war. The Red Cross ir cooperation with allied agencies, must help by making reconstruction plans providing them with employment, assist ing them to regain as nearly as pos sible the normal home life which was once theirs.
 Schools for the children who were made mental and physical wrecks by the con- stant bombing of their cities, schools where the men who have lost their hands or feet or eyes may learn renumerative trades, canteens where our boys may be able to find comfort until such time as they come back to us-all these will be provided by the dollars which come in for membership.

 Birmingham and vicinity have am ply provided for the needs of our war work through the medium of the unit ed war work fund, and we believe our record of work with the boys in camp here at home and on battle fronts over seas has been such as fully warrants the generous support it has received.
 For the maintenance of our general work here at home and to help us help the helpless, we urgently solicit your liberal donation, that we may be able to continue that high standard of serv- ice which Birmingham's liberal support has made possible.

Captain Halpin comes to Birmingham after 15 months service over there in the very thickest of the fight and he has messages, names and addresses from several Birmingham boys to their loved ones here; Captain Halpin was with Staff Captain of the Gulf divi- sion for several years some six or seven years ago and he is one of the most be- loved Salvationists in the entire army.

 feel about it, but I could scarcely = imagine Christmas without the fla miliaf little tinkling bells and the gaily decorated, pot boiling kettles of the much beloved Salvation Army on every corner during the whirl and rush.
 Just as well try to imagine Christ mas without Santa Claus; without fruit cake; without little children; without love and joy and happiness in our hearts!
 And what a beautiful mission is the Christmas contribution of the Salvation Army. HF'or the poor" the pretty Sa1- vation Army lassie will tell you as she smiles at you from beneath her quaint little bonnet, and your heart warns up to the sweet unselfish cause and you dive down deep into your pocketbook and find some loose change and drop it cheerfully, joyfully, into the little pot boiling kettle for God Ioveth cheerful giver."
 This ahapply Yuletide season there's new face among the Salvationists-a new Capt Mrs. David Main, who is in charge of the Christmas pro- gramme; Staff Captain Mrs. Main is sweet and loyal helpmate to her hus- band Captain Main, who is in charge or the big Gulf division work, with Birming- ham as a center.

Eleven per cent Of the 100000 en-
listed men of the Army subjected to
psychological tests were found to be
qualified mentally to become officers,
while more than 26 per cent Of the men
examined were rated as above average
intelligence. Eighty-three per cent Of
the officers to when theltests were ap-
piled met the required standard Of in
telligence, said statement issued last
night by the War Department. giving
for the first time the data compiled
by the division of psychology of the

That Section.

To prevent further clashes between
sailors and marines and the bootleg
cling element detail Of fifty marines
were scattered through Southwest
Washington early last night and re-
NAMED on duty until daylight this
morning, policing that section as a mill
tary precautton. A trip through the
sections frequented by the bootleggers
last night by a representative Of The
Star showed there were few colored
men or women moving about.
The all-night skirmish in the south
west week ago last night had its NOR
al effect on trouble makers, gunner and
hold-up men. They were apparently
frightened by the manner in which de-
tectives, in fast automobiles, went about
their work armed with repeating rifles.
The record Of the police department
for the week shows that there was not
a single hold-up or gun-play during the
week. The previous week there were
several hoId-ups and more than one

Proposed by War Camp Cor
munity Service.

Arrangements are being completed
by the War Camp Community Service

ever held in Washington. Entertain.
ments of all kinds, including sword

The arrangements for the affair are
in charge Of Edward w. Coffin Of the

it's expected that demonstrations by
the various citizens associations and
community centers will be arranged
