 OF THE MEN FOLK
Men Will Give Women Dinner at the Tutwiler and Will Do the Serv-
 ing Themselves

The women members of the Inde- pendent Presbyterian church will be dinner guests of their husbands and brothers and fathers at the Tutwiler hotel Thursday evening. It will be d unique affair in that dinner will be served only to women members of the church and the men will do the serv- ing.
 The women have worked enthusiast ically for the church ever since it was established and have contributed large ly to its success. They have given dinners and other entertainments, mak- ing all preparations and doing all the work without calling on the men for assistance. In return for these en- tertainments, the officers conceived the idea of giving dinner in their honor and in working out the scheme de- cided to do the serving themselves. To perfect the arrangements, they met at the Tutwi1er hotel last night and after formulating their plans. an nounced that J. M. P. Otis would he headwaiter, Hubert Drennen. head dish washer, and c. Mitchell Williamson, water boy. Music will be furnished by special orchestra.

VOLUNTEER WAR
 FUND IS STARTED

A new volunteer war fund has been started by the employees of The Aeg- Herald composing room which will be drawn upon for contributions as the oc- casions arise.
 Under the new plan. 24 members join- ing the fund will contribute certain amount weekly. With these volunteer contributions Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds will be purchased. As new war campaigns arise. amounts will be de- voted by the members and payment from the volunteer fund will be made in Thrift Stamps and Baby Bonds.

In this connection be it said that TX L." has vocabulary of sporting expletives that Hughey Jennings might envy, and that Moley would give his Maryland farm to possess. He can rag the other fellow to the point of insanity, and in the event his own bunch are showing signs of weakness he can call them more kinds of ivory-domed dubs than Heinz has varieties of pickles and in language not be printed except on asbestos paper
 He Is certainly there with the pep, and in the event that our Samnlies ever need "heartening up," which is barely possible, the government could not do better thing than send "I< L." to France, for he would put so much pep and ginger in the boys that at every battle they would make the Kaiser and his picked troops look like bush leag- uers. CThey will do that, anyhow)
 Notwithstanding his promotion to the highest and most responsible position at the Ensley plants. TX. L." is the same warm hearted. likeable fellow he was when in less important jobs and his close personal friends are ever increasing. In conclusion, there is nothing of full some praise in the above statements re- lating to TX. L.." for his many friends will stoutly declare the half has not been told.

THOMPSON'S PLACE
 SERVING MEALS
Restaurant in Class 1 and Closing Incident Has Ap-
 parently Been Forgot
c. E. ABRAMS

Thompsons restaurant on Twentieth
 street. is open for business as Class h restaurant, the controversy between County Food Administrator Frank $. Spain and the company having been satisfactorily adjusted.
 It took only few minutes TOT Vice President S. D. Goldenoerg ana Harry w. Thompson to convince Food Administrator Spain that they were heartily in sympathy with his efforts to conserve wheat and other articles of food and that the company never intended to disregard or d1soDey any of the food regulations.
 John R. Thompson, head of the John tR. Thompson company, MT. Golden berg explained, has been frequent advisor of National Food Administra- tor Herbert Hoover, and has co-oper- ated personally and through his organ lization with the food administration in the movement to save 1oodstuiiS in order that our soldiers in France and the soldiers of the allies may not suffer.
 The restaurant opened early yester- day morning and throughout the day served meals to many of it's old pat
 rons. policeman stood on guard at
 the door but judging from the attl- ftude of the people upon the street, ms presence was entirely unnecessary Ev- erything was quiet and orderly ana
 but for the fact that the crowds Tn the restaurant around meal times were not as large as usual, there was noun ing to indicate that the place had ever been closed.
 The management of the company Is in thorough sympathy with the na- tional and county food administra- tions and will do everything in their power to conserve food and help win the war. John R. Thompson and all of his business associates are loyaiiy snnnorting the government, not only in inc conservation of food, but in every other way in which they can be useful

 Who Is Karl Lands ebe?
 Why, one of the biggest hearted, red dest blooded, 100 per cent Americans that ever hit the city. He Is as true as the steel he manufactures, as full of pep as lawn McGraw, as full of patri- otism as J. Frank Rushton, and as full of fight as 'Parson" Barnwell.

Matthias, and re- gently has succeeded MT. Matthias in that responsible position.
 In his eight years service with the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany at Ensley "K. L." has made won derful success in the several depart ments under his charge and not little of this success is attributed to his per- sonal contact with the men under his charge, and 1t is said he can call by the first name practically every employe of the vast plants at Ensley They are Bill and Jack. and Tom to him.
 Since coming to this district TX. L." has become identified with it's civic af- forces of the allied army in Ensley has led his forces with energy and enthus- iasm and gone over the top in every drive and campaign for war funds and other purposes.
