THE ANGELUS or STRIFE.

There is little town about 60 miles
south of Birmingham, on the Louis
vile and Nashville, called Verbena.
The town is we'll named.
It is redolent of the old-fashioned
southern flower. 1t is peopled by sim
pie farmer folk. Some substantial
citizens of Montgomery county keep
summer homes there.
There are few sounds about the
Mace. An occasional mule team rat
ties down a red clay road drawing an
empty wagon to the general store, or
bumps pleasantly back toward the
Chiffon county hills. Occasionally a
gentle wind causes the leaves OF the
oak trees that shade the town to sign
one of those signs of content that men
breathe after a good meal or good
sermon, or we'll rendered piece OF mu-
sic.
It is as peaceful a place as can be
found in Alabama or any other place.
1t might have been modelled after
Goldsmith's "Sweet Auburn"
But there is new sound there now
It is the Angelus of Strife.
1t calls the people Of Verbena NOT
only to worship, but to deeds.
Every evening at 6 o'clock the bell
of the Verbena church rings. 1t cor
tinues to ring for two minutes, and
while its brazen song is lifted, the pe9-
pie of Verbena stand and pray.
With heads uncovered and bowed
each man, each woman, each child
each saint, and each sinner repeats
these words:
"God bless our President, our sol
diers and the nation, and guide hen
on to victory"
When the sound begins the obserV-
ance of its call is universal. Men hall
in the street; wagons are pulled up or
the road; women rise from their knit
ting or pause in their cookery-fol
they have early suppers in Verbena-
plowman halts his work, and each re-
peats the prayer.
Verbena calls it "The Prayer of the
Bell" and it is said that men who
have never been known to pray befote
answer its call dutifully.-From a Biz
mingham, Ala, paper.

GOVERNMENT NEEDS THOUS- =
ANDS OF WOMEN FOR
WAR WORK

Washington, D. c., May 11,-More
and more, as the war program pro-
crosses, is the government dependent
upon women to perform the tremen-
dously increased volume of work IN
the civil branches. The force of civil
ian employees in Washington, D. G.
increased from 10000 to approximate
" 10000 during the first year Of our
participation in the war Of this in
crease of 10000 more than $4,000 are
women. Women make up the increase
in government Offices and establish
ments outside of washington in less
proportion for the reason thatthe great
est expansion in the field has been IN
the large manufacturing plants OF the
war and navy departments, where
thousands of mechanics and laborers
are employed in shipbuilding and in
manufacturing ordnance and other war
material. Women are not available
for employment in trades positions to
any great extent, but their services
are being utilized in every way that is
practicable.
The United States civil service COM
mission, in calling for women for gov
eminent work of not less than 60 diff
ferent kinds. The list includes stenog-
raphers, typists, bookkeepers, other
clerks of score or more classifications
which require training in some special
or technical line, statisticians, opera
tors of various kinds of calculating
machines, proof readers, law clerks,
welfare executive secretaries, drafts
men Of a dozen kinds, telegraph and
telephone operators, trained nurses,
chemists, physicists, library assistants
inspectors of undergarments, finger
print classifers, and many others.
The commission urges women to
offer their services to the government
at this time of great need. As men
are called to the colors, women must
take their places and keep the machin-
try behind the armed forces moving at
the maximum Of efficiency. Repre-
sentatives of the civil service commits
sion at the post offices in all important
cities are prepared to furnish definite
information and application blanks.

OUR FRENCH ORPHANS

People are surely listening to the
calls Of every kind now-the calls To-
help, we mean. We are so thankful
that it is so. Say! What a selfish
life we we're leading before the war,
and didn't know It'll Maybe there ar
some vet who have not had theirhearts
touched by any appeal, and do not
yet know the joyous exaltation Of be-
ing a part of the wonderful force for
good in the world today. 0 gracious
Lord in Heaven, forgive such an one
and raise him to his glorious privi-
lege! We must let no call go by I'M
needed now, but help everywhere, ev-
erytime. We must think in terms OF
service, of helpfulness. How our lit-
tie lives are glorified in doing it!
There have been some letters com
ing from France the past week from
tn children we have adopted. There
is the note of sincere gratitude we ex-
pected. Some promised to send Pho
tographs and want a return OF the
courtesy. The situation is full OF ro-
nance, of future great possibilities.
The world is getting acquainted. God
bless the world
As a brilliant man said recently,
we are giving in millions and work
ing with continents these days." No
country can afford to ignore any other
country now forever.
Come on and support Frances or
phans as a part of your contribution
to the uplift of humanity and the
brotherhood of man!
How would you like to have your
children realize in the future that you
refused to do it? What sort OF her
itage will you leave the next genera
ton? The glorious knowledge that
their forefathers responded to every
call in the worlds greatest need, or
that they didn't respond.

Danger turks in the ocean surf, as
1t does in the quiet inland pools,
where bathers disport themselves;
and too much stress cannot be laid
upon the necessity for precaution.
Innocently unaware of their reckless
ness bathers will venture beyond the
safety line, sometimes FORGETTING
their lives by so doing. They find
themselves suddenly facing death
and attempt to summon help. I'm
fortunately it is very difficult to
convey message of DISTRESS

as evidence that the bather is having

KEEPING UP THE HIGHWAYS

An interesting article appeared In
a recent issue of the Manufacturers
record, regarding the highway up
keep in North Carolina. The Tar Heel
State has for many years been lead
er in road construction Pioneer work
was carried on by J. Hyde Pratt OF
the State Department of Agriculture,
who enlisted the prominent men from
all sections of North Carolina, and as
result the last dozen years have
seen a tremendous onward march IN
the building Of permanent highways.
Major Pratt has now enlisted in the
service Of his country, and W. 8.
Falls Is the present head of the State !
Highway Commission of North Caro-
lima, and he has paid special atten-
Ition, not only to the building Of new
highways, but to the upkeep OF those
that have already been constructed.
To quote the Manufacturers Record:
"The system of keeping tab on the
| highways is original. Each Of the
100 counties in the States is given a
number; each highway in each county
has a number, beginning at the north
and then going around like the hours
on clock; each bridge is located and
numbered, and at each mile there is
milepost, duly numbered with the
distance from the county-sea which
in all cases is taken as the base OF
operations. The State is divided into
ten districts, and in each of these
there is a district supervisor, with
his numbered automobile. All the
roads are inspected and all improve
ments must be in accordance with the
approval of the State Highway Com
mission under the terms Of an excel
lent new law of 1917 Mr.. Falls re-
'quires constant supervision and MAIN
'tenance, and his motto is "a stitch in
Time" etc. The best roads are in the
counties where there are regular road
engineers. Thsse are in twenty of
the counties. There Is need for COM
,pulsory system, that is, a requirement
THAT each county shall have a regular
ly trained road engineer"
Definite information of this kind is
of great value here in Florida, where
1.-THE interest in public highways is now
turning more toward the maintenance
of those already built, than toward
the extension of present systems The
trouble in this State has heretofore
been just along this line; that roads
are constructed and then allowed to
shift for themselves. The foolishness
Of such policy is now brought home
to practically every county in the
, State, because of the large eXpendi-
lures now necessary for the improve
ment of permanent highways, which,
after being built, were entirely neg
lected and allowed to stand the stress
and strain of traffic without any eff
fort at upkeep.
Another good feature of the Caro-
lima Highway plan is the thorough
system of marking. Here in Florida
we have State law which is sup
posed to be enforced, but which is
not, whereby strangers can find sat
isfactory directions, no matter where
they are going. In North Carolina
this law is enforced to the letter,
and as a result all State highways
bear the State device, IN. c." in blue
on a white ground. Florida has ac-
complished much in the building Of
roads. Much is yet to be done.
