IFOUR-MINUTE MEN
 TO EXPOUND THE FOOD PROGRAMME
National Food Administrator Hoover Calls on People to Make Great Voluntary Effort to Con- serve Food

At the request of Herbert Hoover, na- tional food administrator, the four-min-
 ute men of the committee on public in-
 formation will devote the week of De-
 tober 20 to the explanation of the na-
 tional food programme for 1918 and the
 urgent necessity of conservation in every
 way possible.
 The task before the American people is outlined by Mir. Hoover in his let
 ter to the four-minute men as follows. "Our government has pledged +, 7,5O0. .oO0 tons of food to the allies and our own army in France. This is 5,75O.000 more than we shipped last year and our ag- gregate food supply is approximately the sa me-"
 Home cards will be distributed through out the United States and will be hung In the kitchen as a daily appeal to the individual responsibility of 105, COG, GOO in- tellgent people to continue the greatest voluntary effort ever made by q nation to conserve food. This card says: Food saved now will save human lives and the rapidity and completeness of our vic- tory depends directly on the degree of our effort. and that this effort become personal responsibility for everyone | of us."

8 George H. Estes of the Estes Real Es- state and Insurance agency, and one of the best known business men in Bir- mingham, is seriously i'll at his home on the South Highlands. He has been con- fined to his home for about two weeks with pleurisy and complications, but it was not until yesterday that any ap- prehension was felt over his condition
 MT. Estes underwent an operation in New York four or five months ago for an infected lip and jaw, which it was feared at the time would develop into cancer, but when he recovered from that he and his family believed that he was entirely cured.
 MT. Estes is an ardent prohibitionis, and has been very active in Alabama politics for several years. During the last four years he has been secretary of the state democratic executive com mittee.

INFLUENZA HAMPERS
 TELEPHONE SERVICE
People Asked to Aid Gov ernment by Avoiding Un-
 necessary Use of Phones

One hundred and fifteen of our oper- ators are at home sick with influenza," said Chief Operator Mrs. Dickson to an Age-Herald reporter who happened to drop in the telephone office yester- day afternoon. This represents about % per cent of our regular working force and you may readily see how crippled we are to handle the increased volume of business. It takes nearly two months to train these girls. so of course it would help but little to get inexperienced ones."
 Officials of the company are in re- ceipt of an order from Postmaster Gen. eral Burleson asking them to confine extensions and betterments to impera- tive and unavoidable work necessary to meet war requirements and those of es- sential commercial industries. With the present shortage of labor due to influ- erza the company appeals to the public to help in the situation by using the telephones only when absolutely neces. sary.
 According to Mrs. Christensen, chief long distance operator, the office has been swamped with out-of-town calls One reason for the shortage of opera tors,' she said, "is that influenza has scared them off Girls handling Iona distance calls have had so many death calls to answer that fear of influenza may have kept some of them at home.'

WOMEN WORKERS {: TAKE FIELD WITH RENE WE'D V|G0R
Rainbow Division Deter mined to Raise Quota for District in Fourth Li-
 berty Loan Campaign

Notwithstanding the inroads influenza has made among their workers, the woman's committee of the Fourth Liber- ty Loan campaign entered upon the final week of the drive with renewed energy and a determination to hold up their end in the effort to put Jefferson county over. When the roll was called at head- quarters yesterday morning it was found that many of the best workers in the campaign had fallen victims to influenza, or some members of their families were down with 1t, and therefore, they could not report for duty. Their places were not easily filled and as a result short force took the field.
 In spite of all of this, the women made good progress during the day and re- ports at headquarters during the after noon showed fine results. Mrs. Har- rington Heflin. at o'clock, had received reports from booth workers showing bond sales during the day amounting to $32,000, which Mrs. Heflin said would be increased to at least s35.oo0 when all reports were in.
 Mrs. Shell, county chairman, received reports Of subscriptions taken outslde of Birmingham amounting to s192, 750 dur ing the second week of the campaign. Women workers at Adamsville and Gar dendale stated that they had quit work because the men objected.
 1T appreciate the work of the Rainbow division under Mrs w. D. Smith, gen. era1 in command, said Mrs. Solon Jacobs, state chairman; q realize how hard 1t is for them to canvass in Bir- mingham, where their work is house-to- house canvassing. This Is very dIs- couraging form of Liberty Loan work, because day after day the women go to the homes with very little hope of sell ing bonds, or If they do sell, 1t is rare that the denomination is larger than $50 or $100. It takes great many bonds of the smaller denominations to make tho aggregate show up into the hundreds of thousands. which was the record of the Rainbow for the first week of the cam paign."
 Mrs Jacobs Is urging the committees in all counties to put aside everything else this week for the Liberty Loan work. appealing to them to impress upon every- body the urgent necessity of raising the states quota and thereby encouraging and helping the boys in France.

Birmingham citizens can now stand without hitching while Uncle Sam'S aviatOrs play hide and seek in the clouds above. This was demonstrated yesterday morning when six Payne Field bfrdmen fitted about over the Magic City without even causing the traffic to be blocked or women to scream with anxiety. Not that their daring ex- plOits were not appreciated--quite the cOntrary--but local inhabitants are getting "airplane broke" and can view the most death-defying loops in q most nOnchalant manner.
