 What does she look like?

 It was g daring feat brilliantly exe- cuted, and will go down into history as one of the great naval exploits of she English navy.

PLENTY TO DO YET

Until all of our home coming boys are here the canteen and the home service department will be busy. Now the after care service is being organized to look after the soldiers discharged on account of wounds and not yet able to take their old places in civil life. Very many Red Cross workers are thus needed right here at home in spite of the fact that the fighting is over and our supply of surgical dressings is sufficient for pres ent requirements.
 The wake Of the war will reveal dls- eases and give rise to epidemics in the land of the combat which will call for help from all the unscathe6. The Red Cross is the national humanitarian so- ciety.

icy of the United States railroad ad- ministration, respecting the heavier load ing of freight car equipment, and it will continue to supervise loadings and earn estly appeals for the hearty cooperation of all shippers in order that demands for service may be promptly met.
 Many large shippers, realizing the ad- vantages gained in the past are volun- teering to maintain loading practices es- tablished during the war, regardless of tariff minima. The shippers of the Ala bama mineral district have contributed largely in support of this work and by reason thereof have reaped correspond ingly large benefits
 Our appeal, prior to the issue of rule No. covering food products only, met with a hearty response from the ship pers of all products and the heavier load ing of cars or loading to carrying ca pacity of cars was most beneficial.
 Taking full advantage of the car car rying capacity means more than mere car conservation, it means making one car do the work of two, which minim- izes congestion en route and at ter minals. Meeting the demand for equip ment for a few days, weeks or possibly a month or more should not be allowed to mislead the shipping public. As re- turn to the old methods of light loading in accordance with tariff min:ma will speedily carry us back to car shortage and congestion"

NO CHANGE MADE IN REGULATIONS OF
 LOADING OF CARS
Colonel Hutchens Calls At tention to Rules, Regard less of Action of Food
 Administration

Since the national food administration
 abrogated it's car loading regulations
 about 10 days ago, there has been a noticeable decrease in loadings of food stuffs. This is particularly true of such
 articles as potatoes, the minimum under food regulations being 40,00o pounds. Sew
 eral cars from the northwest received in Birmingham within the last three or four days have fallen under this mini
 mum by several thousand pounds, some
 of them running as low as 35,000 pounds. While the food regulations have been
 rescinded and shippers are free so far
 as that branch of the government is
 concerned to load whatever quantities
 they may see fit into cars, the railroad | administration has made no change in it's loading regulations. Under the en- forcement of the railroad administration rules thousands of cars have been saved
 monthly in the Birmingham district, as compared with car movements prior to government control of the railroads. Col H. E. Hutchens, terminal manager for the Birmingham district, has made every effort possible to secure the max mum loading by local shippers and they ! have responded most literally to his ap
 peals, and co-operated with him in every
 way possible.
 Speaking of this matter yesterday Col onel Hutchens said
 "The public, having been advised through the daily press of the cancel lation, effective December 10. of the trade unit minima of the United States food administration created in rule No. I9 to general license regulations No. l of the food administration and car ser vice section bulletin No. fl, it has oc- cured to me advisable to draw attention of carload shippers through the same channels to this very important subject There has been no change in the pol marriage to Miss Virginia Atwood a few weeks ago at her home in Appomattox.
