Atlanta, January 26.-(Spec.al. )-Busi- ness men, as well as church leaders of all followings are making ready to give the memb ership of the general confer ence of the Methodist Ipiscopal church, south, most successful session at the conference which opens here on May , for it's duadrennial session of some three or four weeks The meeting place is Wesley Memorial church, . building with seating capacity of 25oo, and all the ante and committee rooms that will be needed
 To begin with the hotel men have. in a body. set aside ample rooms for those who will be here, both delegates and visitors. The first will run to about 5oo, the last to fully as many, so that prep- araton for 1000 to l5O0 will be made. Some question having arisen as to the ability of the hotels to do this, wi,h the immense war demands upon them. the managers have combined in def mite statement that there need not be any question along this line,

including the payment of their expenses into Birmingham for this purpose. There are about 25 of these teachers in the county, and they will give their schools the demonstrations and lessons which they learn in the kitchen. We have se- cured from the secretary of the Alabama Coal Operators association assurance of support from that organization. but have not fully developed the plans for giving these demonstrations at the various min ing camps In addition, we are work
 ing on plans for securing volunteer workers from the various districts in the county, so as to carry this practical demonstration of food conservation to every corner of the county
 "ln addition to serving as training school for volunteer workers the kitchen will be open every day for demonstra- tion to any people who may come by and there will always be someone on hand to answer questions and give out recipes and directions for the preparation of these wheat saving breads.
 After the wheat drive is completed fat and meat drive will be started and then vegetable drive and canning dem onstrations. In this way the kitchen will be kept in active service during the whole yeaE"
 Mrs, H. E. Pierce has charge of the local Hoover kitchen, and will direct it's service. Such method of co-opera- ton among the housekeepers of the city and county will necessarily rebound in invaluable service as an economic meas ure, and increasing interest in home mak- ing.
