APPEAL ID WAR
 WORKERS ID JOIN
 DEFENSE COUNCIL
Heads of All War Organiza- tions Join in Appeal in Or der to Coordinate
 State War Work

Montgomery, July N.-(Special )-Heads of all war organizations in Alabama have joined in a public appeal to all war workers in the state to become inter- ested in the organization of county and community councils of defense in all sec tions of the state so war work may be co-ordinated duplication reduced to the minimum and all persons are as- signed to some task which will make the nationA truly a democracy at war
 Lloyd M. Hooper, chairman of the Ala bama council of defense, today an- nounced that this appeal is the starter Of the complete orga nization of the state into community councils.
 Following the reorganization Of the Alabama council of defense early in the year, county organizations have been perfected in all counties and as soon as community councils are organized in the larger communities, towns and cities the government will be able to communicate officially with a person responsible for war work on only few hotYs' notice.
 Field representatives will go into all counties during the next few weeks and will explain the work of the county and community councils. The duties of these councils are so varied the organizations have become the leading war organlza- tions in the states where they have been properly organized. In Alabama the

A BED OF POPPIES

By Pendleton Watson. Somewhere in France there's a mound,
 they say,
 Where the winds of the southland
 blow: And smokelined sunrays waver through A bed where the peoples grow. What memoir marks that unknown spot No monument Of stone: It is but tiny field of hue That the sod may call it's own. A bed of poppies, SO serene.
 Alive amidst the dead. It seems your eyes but watch the sky Where the soul beneath has fled. "A monument so tender, true
 Erected to the brave Where those who made it fingered not To mark the hurried grave. A golden thought, the poets say, Those eyes that nature made. How like the ones now closed for aye, How worth the price he paid Blue eyes of the peoples recall a day When the ones beneath were fair But may the poppies' eyes reflect The soul that once looked from there :?

To be possessed of q head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, vayy and free from dandruff is merely B matter of using little Danderine.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine now-it costs but few cents--all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten minutes there will be an appearance ot abundance. freshness, fluffiness and an incompar- able gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dan iruff or falling hair; but your real sur prise will be after about two weeks use when you will see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp --Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of .dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair-taking one small strand at a time. Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyone who tries this

heads of all war organizations have joined under the banner of the state council and the head of each war work in the state has been made member of the executive committee of the state council. lnathis way the coordination of war activities is being perfected.
 TEXT OF APPEAL
 The appeal of the heads of war organ ization to all war workers, which was signed by F heads of war organizations, fellows: "The undersigned cordially ap- prove the recommendations of the coun- cil of national defense to create in Ala bama county councils and community councils of defense. We are prompted to do so because of the insistence of the President of the United States and the council of national defense.
 President Wilson, in a recent state nent addressed to the state administra- tors and directors of federal activities, says: The creation of community coun- ciis is, in my opinion, making an ad- vance of vital significance, which will build up from the bottom an under standing and unity of purpose and effort which will no doubt have an immediate and decisive effect upon our great un- dertaking It is only by extending or ganization to smaller communities that every citizen of the state can be reached and touched with the inspiration of the common cause

Chauffeur and Nurse

Frcm the Popular Science Monthly
 The French government has adopted for the use of the army sidecar ambu- lance. which, in many respects is su- perior 10 the other, types heretofore used. It is built of light material and is large enough to accommodate but one stretch CT. Windows with removable curtains are provided to enable the patient to lonk out while lying on the cot or stretcher. The cot can also be so arranged that the patient may sit up, An elecs-ic bell con nec.s him with the driver or the motor cycle, who also acts as nurse.
 One conside rable advantage of this .ISe of ambulance is that patients n-ay he trs nsroite in it while sitting cr re- clining and that they can obtain not only all the sunlight and fresh air they desirr, out also an unobstructed view of he country -.which they pass lof- ten way to the rear.

SUFFRAGE NOTES

Miss Emily Miller, reference librarian at the city library, has announced the addition of two new books of interest to suffragists to the shelves of the cen tral library. They are: The Woman Voters Manual" by Forman. and Your Vote and How to Use It." by Brown Suffragists should read these books and prepare for the future, the very near
 future, after the federal amendment passes.
 Laet week the suffragists of Birming-
 ham offered their services to the city
 to seryeAas election officers at Monday S
 election, if they were needed. As it
 transpired. they were not. It was found
 that the law required only one officer
 at each voting place, and enough men were found to fill the places Dr. Bar rett, president of the city commission. and Clerk Scudder Ryall both expressed appreciation of the offer of the suffra- gists.
 The suffrage unit will not meet to- morrow unless q notice appears in the morning paper. It has been postponed again, owing to the failure of materia to arrive from the gulf division head quarters There is every prospect that the unit will start to work again week from tomorrow. and the members are urged to hold themselves in readiness

FOUR OBJECTS

''The council of national defense has recommended the extension of county or ganization by the creation of community councils with four great objects in view; First: Organize the entire community l for war service
 Second: Enlist and maintain the en- thusiastic support of every individual back of the war
 Third: Utilize as fast as possible all existing agencies in the community. Fourth: Centralize and correlate the war work of all organizations in the community.
