|MONTGOMERY'S MOTOR DIVISION IS
 STRIKING FEATURE QE VWQMgAMS SERVICE
By RosALIE AnMIsTEAD HIGGINS

l By ROSALIE HAMPSTEAD HIGGINS | Montgomery, August 10-(Special) In no city in the country is there stronger motor division of the National League of Woman's Service than in
 Montgomery. and the work accom- plished by these women is nothing short of amazing.
 They have answered to their coun- trys call in a most patriotic manner and but for them much splendid service which has been rendered would have been impossible. Absence from the city of many active workers has compelled those remaining at the post of duty to put forth greater effort, that not only has the regular weekly schedule been carried out but many emergency calls have been answered. Special praise is due those engaged in the exacting work of furnishing transportation for the teachers of the illiterate men at Camp Sheridan. The following letter which was received by each one ex- plains itself: Dear Mrs. Brown At the regular weekly meeting of the war camp community service board at the Exchange hotel, Thursday, July 25. Col onel Clark, commanding officer at Camp Sheridan. and Lieutenant Rhine Ihart representing Taylor Aviation Field were present The patriotic ser tvice performed by the woman's motor disyision in assuming the highly inn portant responsibility of providing trans portation for the volunteer teachers of the illiterate men at Camp Sheridan, inspired the following resolution: "'The war camp community service board deeply appreciates the impor- tant patriotic service rendered by the motor division of the National League 1 for Woman's Service in assuming the transportation of the volunteer women teachers of illiterate enlisted men, and request the executive secretary to per sonally thank every member of the mo- tor division, who has enlisted in this important work. The board feels that illiteracy and ignorance strike right at the heart of our army, and that 1t lis basically important that "our boys" who are fighting for the great cause of democracy on the battlefelds of France be as we'll equipped mentally as they are physically for their stupendous task. Very sincerely,
 WILLIAM TAYLOR ELGAS, Executive Secretary" During the past week 2S teachers have been carried out and back each morning, and despite the early hours, there has been not the slightest word of complaint. The teachers are carried in three groups, leaving the city at 6:30, TAO and $40, and returning at SOS, |10:30 and 11:45 o'clock. Those who
 leave at 6:30 are served with break
 fast at camp. The early drive was
 taken by Miss Blanche Wolff, Mrs. Ellis
 Burnett, Mrs. Leopold Strauss. Mrs. C. U. Beane Mrs. Frank Lockwood. Mrs |J NJ Anderson. Mrs James Salter, Miss

By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA.

Anniston, August 10.--(Special) Few organizations are doing more ef- fective war work than the United Daughter of the Confederacy.
 Every week lovely musicale is ar ranged by the United Daughters of the Confederacy chapter at the Red Circle building, the homes of the members are thrown open constantly to give the boys the much desired joys of home life, and every Thursday is given by the chapter to work in the Red Cross rooms. Patients in wards at the base hospital cared for by the United Daughters of the Confederacy of An niston and Birmingham are the recip- ients of constant acts of sweet thought fulness from these patriotic bands.
 The latest work attempted by the S7aughters is a beautiful memorial work. On one of the prettiest spots on the cantonment lie buried some sol diers who died at the base hospital. boys who were training to offer their lives on the altar of their country Tor our liberty. There were no relatives to claim the bodies of these lonely boys so their graves at Camp Mcclellan will

 and base hospital work, the chapter on Wednesday afternoon gave one of the most enjoyable musicales of the season. Mrs Joseph E. Aderhold one of the states most prominent U. D. C. work CTS. and Mrs. Odis Tombstone, the talented president of the William Hem fy Foriiey, chapter. arranged the pro- gramme. which was rendered at the home of Mrs. Gordon Jones'
 The principal feature of the after noon was the appearance of My. Wilbur Taylor, a reader of note. MT. Taylor is Y M. c.

Taylor thanked the United Daush- ters of the Confederacy chapter and other good women who go out to min ister unto the boys so far from home and mother. He spoke of how moth ering" is ever cherished by the boys and of how such services are appreciat- cd by the soldiers. nurses and doctors. MT. Taylor's talent is used freely for the diversion of the patients in the hospitals and in entertainments, givsn in the Y. M. c. A. huts. He is equally fine in both sublime and ridiculous ss- lections.

COMFORT FORWARDING
 COMMITTEE

 One of the most interesting as we'll as
 forwarding committee,' which is under the auspices of the Christian Science lchurch throughout the United States headquarters being in Boston, at 32S Boylston street.
 Birmingham has a most active branch, which was formed about four weeks ago, ana which is ever filled with eager, tire less workers, doing their bit for suffer- ing humanity. with Mrs. J. F. Fries as
 manager, who gives all her time to this
 work, being at headquarters each day from to 5 o'clock.
 For the past two weeks headquarters have been opened for the duration of
 the war furnishing it completely, and
 the members have brought machines ffo1h theirg own homes, with which they do much of the work
 It is the idea of the organization that all comfort committees work should be kept entirely separate from church ac- tiyties. and that no collection should be taken in the church, no notices read from the desk and the church building should not be used as meeting place or work room of the committee, but that list of the members of the church could be secured and advised of the na- ture of the work and ask them to con- tribute to it's support
 A record of all articles made and sent out is kept and most interesting labels are sewed in each finished garment showing where they are made. All workers are volunteers and all ma- terial used is donated by members of the church or friends and various mer- chants Those merchants contributing to the Birminaham branch are: Caheen, Burger and Pizitz.
 Mrs Fries, who is E1nst enthusiastic worker as well as most capable man. aeer, says that they have made in the past two weeks 24 blouses for boys, z4 blouses for women, 24 Black sateen pima flores for little girls, and have now un- der headway 2i flannel petticoats for

War For Humanity

War, in good cause, is not the
greatest evil which nation can
suffer. War is an ugly thing, but
not the uglist of things; the decay
ed and degraded state of moral and
patriotic feeling which thinks
nothing worth a war is worse.
When people are used as mere
human instruments for firing cam
non or thrusting bayonets, in the
service for the selfish purposes of
a master, such war degrades a peo-
pie. A war to protect other human
beings against tyrannical Unjust
ice; war to give victory to their
own ideas of right and good, and
which is their own war, carried on
for an honest purpose by their free
choice, is often the means of their
regeneration. A man who has
nothing which he is willing to fight
for, nothing which he cares more
about than he does about his per-
sonal safety, is a miserable crea-
ture, who has no chance Of being
free, unless made and kept so by
the exertions Of better men than
himself. AS long as justice and
injustice have not terminated their
ever-renewing fight for ascend
ency in the affairs of mankind,
human beings must be willing,
when need is, to do battle for the
one against the other. = John
Stuart Mill.
This was written a half century
and more ago, but it might have
been written yesterday it applies
so we'll to today's conditions. The
truth is the same yesterday, today
and tomorrow.
