MRS. TAYLOR AND
 THE FRENCH SOLDIERS

One of the interesting features of the visit of the French legation recently was the meeting of one of the soldiers and Mrs w. D. Taylor of Bessemer, chairman of the French orphans fund. who has turned in over 5000 to the treasurer of the fund.- Col. T. o. smith. When Mrs. Taylor met them she found so few of them were able to speak Eng fish and she very little French, so at first they had quite a time trying to talk, but at last she found one tall, sturdy fellow whom she could talk to and tell what they had done in Bessemer for the poor little kiddies of far away France. When she told this brave sol dier that the little town alone had sent already more than $500O, his great big eyes opened wide and said: "Oh, You Americans certainly are wonderful, and the American money will bring much cheer and happiness to our poor and un- fortunate orphans who are absolutely In want" Mrs. Taylor asked him to sign his name in English for her. that she might some day write to him and tell him more of the good work going on here for his people. and he wrote Just plain "Jas. Brown, First Class Private, French Legion, Lyons, France" And his parting words II shall write to Mrs. Taylor."

G1TlHERE can be no longer any ques-
 tion that we are in to win the
 war; one of the many surprising things that makes us all feel this way about it is the way we take our trou- bles these days, just pack them up in our, old kit bags and smile-smile, !" to quote the little song that we all know SD well.
 What made me think of this was the way things looked yesterday; here were we confronted with a new misery--it would seem as if the war would be enough--but here comes General Inffl- enza" at the head of his forces march, ing right into our midst, starting an of fensive and soaring us into atoms; schools closed theatres closed, movies closed-everything closed it would seem but there were things still wide open, hearts still valiant and women still ready to> brave anything, and what I'm lead- ing up to is, that in spite of all this sick ness and sorrow the splendid women at the head of the Red Cross linen shower went bravely on with their work. the Flying Squadron" going from door to door, collecting materials for those who have suffered more bodily ailments and inconveniences and misery than we could ever have to bear.
 One of the busiest of these busy wom- en working with might and main for the success of the Red Cross linen show CT was Mrs. Oscar R. Hundley, the ef- ficient federal chairman and in chatting with her about the cooperation and en- couragement the drive is receiving she said:
 To those who have not been so for tunate as to have 2 part in the Red Cross linen shower, let me say that there is yet time for every woman to do her bit. Newsores old stand in Third ave nue is busy, bustling place now with It's new tenants receiving and counting the linen gifts that come in for the Red Cross linen shower. Have you ever tried to visualize 15,000 towels? Well, try, and you will find it just ,as difficult as to imagine 4000 sheets; but that is what we have been called on to furnish and by next Tuesday we shall have received that many articles, and having had them all iaundered and packed they will be ready for shipment
 The Birmingham chapter was called upon for 4000 sheets 64x1O2 inches" said Mrs. Hundley, with hem of ? inches at one end and a 1-inch hem at the other and for 15,000 towels, 18x30 inches in size We have in many instances had the ma terial given to us, and some units have sent in money, and we are using this to great advantage, since we can buy in large quantities, much better than by purchasing one or. two sheets at time. Yesterday the headquarters committee, of which Mrs. Thomas w. O'Byrne is the splendid chairman, could scarcely be seen for the piles of sheets that were being torn from the bolts of domestic purchased in this way. Five hundred were torn and folded ready for the Red Cross units who are coming to our rescue in this emergency. We shall appreciate assist ance from all Red Cross units that hem sheets for us until our last one is fin-

REFUGEE COLLECTION

The Red Cross desires to thank Mrs Charles Denegre and her splendid com mittee of ladies for the fine work they did last week in receiving, sorting ana packing the clothing donated to the Belgian refugees. The chapter also wishes to thank the gentlemen who nailed up, marked and shipped the boxes on schedule time. The public responded most generously, and sent quantity Of good, warm garments for men, women and children, and numbers of shoes in good condition Fifty-seven boxes, some of them huge, were sent to Newark, N J., to be shipped abroad. All of the choicest articles, especially those for children, were packed in two separate boxes, known as The Queens boxes" and sent to Mrs George Denegre in New Orleans to be sent as a Christmas present to the Queen of Belgium.
 The Ensley collection was beautifully handled, being in charge of Mrs. Joseph Smith. Seventeen boxes. in which every article had been counted and weighed, were sent to Newark, and one especial box to New Orleans for the queen The Bessemer collection, in charge of Mrs. George Waller, was brought into Bir- mingham and packed. It was from Bes- semer that the beautiful layettes came which were sent to the queen.
 The Birmingham Red Cross can count the Belgian relief collection as a per- feet success, and the executive board de- sires to thank the public for it's great generosity, and every one who took part
 in the drive for their efficient work.
