G7T1HE following interesting marriage
 was an event of Tuesday in Tus-
 q caloosa and a lovely Birmingham girl rendered the music for the occa- sion;
 One of the most Interesting events of the Yuletide was the marriage of Miss Laura Adelle kyle, daughter of MT and Mrs. w.~C.skyle. and MT. B. P. Cooper. which was quietly solemnized Tuesday at high noon in the home of the brides parents.
 Miss va1la McCool of Birmingham rem dered programme of delightful nuptial music, merging into the familiar tones of Mendelssohn's wedding march as MT. Cooper and Miss Kyle entered unattend- ed, pr. Faust, presiding elder of this district, speaking the sacred words which made these happy young folk man and wife.
 This young bride, radiant and happy. was beautiful in her smart tailleur built of silver taupe broadcloth trimmed with Hudson seal, this color proving most be- coming to her exquisite brunette coloring, and all accessories were in silver grey to harmonze. The real bridal touch was given Miss Kyle's attire in the gorgeous bouquet of sweetheart roses, orchids and valley lilies which was fashioned into shower.
 Mir. and Mrs. Cooper left immediately after their wedding for a trip to New Orleans, Mobile and other points of in- terest in the south, returning the first of January to the Hotel McLester where they will be at home

TIT would seem as if there were not
 II enough girls in the world to supply the demand made by the Y. M. c. A., the Red Cross. the Salvation Army and all the other organizations now doing war work both in this country and "Over There.'
 No sooner do.I get through writing an article about the Red Cross than up comes the Y. M. c. A., calling for work CTS; no sooner does that happen than the other organizations make demands, and so it goes, world without end; Amenl There's one good thing about it all, if you want to do war work and you don't happen to fit the Red Cross requirements, if you are not the correct weight and height and style and all, you've got still other chances, for there's the Y. M. c. A., which takes a different model; and still if neither suits, why there's the Salvation Army, and if you can make doughnuts and pies like mother used to make" there you are-landed safe and sound for overseas duty.
 After all they are not so very differ. ent, really-the kind of girls they ara calling for-the main distinction between them being, say, for instance, the Red Cross and the Y. M. c. A. requirements are that in the case of the "" you must be able to help entertain the sol diers, while with the Red Cross you must be able to help the soldier after he's been wounded.
 Anybody almost with average intelli-
 
 gence, poise, dignity and a degree of stickability can get into war work of some kind or other. There's absolutely no limit to the demand still being made now for girls, girls. girls and then more girls; and with peace lowering over us the need does not diminish but the need for workers in the canteens, the huts ans all sorts of other things is almost as great as ever, for war does not auto matically stop on the declaration of peace; it takes days and days to demobilize an

femininity to make a home out of the rlost desolate canteen behind the lines
 She must have enough dignity to be self-sufficient in whatever conditions she may find herself and enough sweetness and cheerfulness to put up with all kinds of unpleasantness and difficulties. She must always be ready to make the best of things, and, above all, she must have unbounded health-not simply freedom from illness, but the buoyancy and re- serve that comes from a splendid phy- sique.
 "Of course this is hard to find in one girl, but we want as many of these qualities as we can. Tt is awfulIy hard to describe the kind of girl, but you know her when you see her
 She is as often found in the smaller town as the big city, but she must have a certain poise and assurance that are only found in girls who have either trav- eled or are accustomed to looking after themselves. She may be anywhere be- tw cen 25 and B and she is more often college girl The college girl seems to have certain adaptability that is most useful Not that that is always true, for we often find it among girls who have not gone to college.
 "Canteen work is much like life-any- thing you can do you can find place for. French is very useful, Of course. put II IS not absolutely essential An ear for nlu- sic and an ability to play rag on the piano do much to transform hut into a cheerful place. Interior decorating, cooking, reading aloud, playing games any of these things have their use. At the same time the candidate must realize that entertainment does not take up all her time, and she must thoroughly un- derstand that the physical conditions are most trying. Lack of proper food and lack of fuel make a serious drain on any constitution.
 '"Then, too, she may have to stand on her feet all day, serving the soldiers, or she may have to lift heavy trays or drive trucks back and forth for provi- sions. Thus motor driving and knowl- edge of a car are good things to have And while the girl may be stationed in a post where there is nothing to do but entertain, she must be willing to take the chance of hardships"

BRITISH LABOR ID SUPPORT LEAGUE
Hearty Co-Operation Prom ised by Secretary of Ma tional Union of Rail-
 way Men

London December 27-In letter written to Lord Robert Cecil, who vii! be the British representative in charge of all questions affecting the proposed league of nations at the peace con- ference, J. H. Thomas, secretary of the national union of railway men, de- clared that no section of the people ln this country would give more hearty cooperation and support in his efforts to establish league of nations than those in the labor movement.
 In. reply. Lord Robert pointed out that such league would be more than an agency for preventing war. II problem of the reduction of arma- ment it must protect smaller states, it must safeguard the races that are vet unable to protect themselves and it must act as the guardian of places Of international importance Products essential to the welfare and prosperity of mankind, he declared. must be made available for all
 Lord Robert said, that such a league must revise obsolete treaties, and, in his opinion. regulate traffic by air and sea, sanitation and even labor con- ditions. He added:
 For this policy to be successfully lnaugurated. we. shall require not an. ordinary peace treaty, but a settlement every line of which Is inspired by the league of nations spirit That is no light undertaking. but one thing is cer tain. namely, if the British people show they are in earnest npressing forward this reform, they will carry 1t through as they have carried many another scheme for the freedom and improvement of mankind

that same feeling for my people, for the people of the United States.
 For you. and I, sir-temporarily- embody the spirit of two great na tions. and whatever strength I have, and whatever authority, possess it only so long and so far as I express the spirit and purpose of the American people.
 Every influence that the American people have over the affairs of the world is measured by their sympathy with tha aspirations of free men everywhere.
 LOVE FREEDOM
 America does love freedom and l believe that she loves freedom unselfish- ly. But if she does not, she will not and cannot help the influence to which she justly aspres.
 q haze had the privilege, Sir, of con ferring with the leaders of France and Italy, and I am glad to say that have the same conception that they. have of the significance and scope of the duty on which we have met.
 We have used great words; all of us have used the great words right anG justice. and now we are to prove whether or not we understand these words, and how they are to be applied to the par ticular settlements which must conclude this war.
 And we must not only understand them, but we must have the courage to act upon our understanding
 Yet. after I have uttered the word courage it comes into my mind that it would take more courage to resist the great moral tide now running in the world than to yield to it, than to obey it.
 There is great tide running in the hearts of men. The hearts of the men have never beaten so singularly in unison. Men have never before been |so conscious of their brotherhood Men have never before realized how little difference there was between right and justice in one latitude and in another under one sovereignty and under an- other.
 RIGHT TO CONTROL
 And it will be our high privilege I believe sir, not only to apply the moral judgment of the world to the particular settlements which we shall attempt. but also to organize the moral force of the world to preserve those settlements, to steady the forces of mankind and to make the right and the justice to which great nations like our own have devoted themselves, the pre- dominant and controlling force of the world.
 There is something inspiring in knowing that this is the errand that we have come on. Nothing less than this would have Justified me in leav- ing the important tasks which fall upon me upon the other side of tho sea-nothing but the consciousness that nothing else compares with this in dignity and importance.
 Therefore, it is the more delightful to find myself in the company of a body of men united in ideal and pur pose and to feel that I am privileged to unite my thoughts with yours in carrying forward these standards which We are so proud to hold so high and to defend.
 May I not, sir, with feeling of profound sincerity and friendship and sympathy, propose your health and the health of the Queen and the prosperity of Great Britain?"
