$500, 900 BeneuoLence Fund Is Very Rapidly MateriaAzing
 Among Southern Presbyterians
Reports From Headquarters Show Great Awakening bama's Manager, Russell C. Booth, Is Commended Splendid Work-Sunday Assignments for
 Presbyterian Church Announced

Reports continue to come into the of flee of Manager of synod, Russel c.
 Booth, for the s3,00Oo0O fund for benevo-
 fences in the Presbyterian churches of the southland. Every indication points
 to a successful completion of the can- vass Sunday, March IT, and the reports being tabulated the following day. Re- ports from the head office in Richmond also show that there is a great awaken
 ing, and it is estimated that where there were 1900 every y-member-canvass churches last year, the number will pass the 2400 mark this year.
 The canvass is wider in it's extent this year than ever before. The ideal is for every member to have a part in the .churchs activity, and special stress is being laid on benevolences of the mis- sionary side of the work. The effort to train boys and girls to give even small amount will train them in directing their interest in the activities of the missions at home and abroad. Never before have the organzations had such a prominent part in the campaign Each organ.za- tion will be expected to pledge definite sum accounted for in their budget for
 the years work. The womans auxil-
 iary, Christian Endeavor and the Sum day school will take prominent parts. Among the first Christian Endeavor so- |ciety to make budget is that of the Third Presbytrian, of which Rev. J. A. Bryan is pastor. This society pledged
 $100 and the junior organization s25. Alabama's apportionment of sloo,Oo0 has been held up as goal, but Manager Booth is hopeful that Alabama, which has been near the bottom in the scale of benevolent giving, may do more than the qouta assigned for her.
 i! The headquarters at Richmond has highly commended the work of the Ala bama managers. and Rev. David Park who has been in the field for six weeks lpresenting the plan to the church. They commend also c. T. Sibley and Charles R. Plosser. the presbyterial managers l who are especially active outside of Bir- i mingham in the churches of North Ala
 bama presbytery, and they are being rewarded for their effort.
 l The Presbyteries of Tuscaloosa, Eas, | Alabama and Mobile are reporting some ! fine results for their effort and expect Ito pass the goal set for the churches o1 these presbyteries. Manager Booth was Icalled to Greensboro last week to present I the plan to church which is without | a pastor.

 The stock battery of an automobile" says Mr. Henley. ifs carefully designed to fill the need of the individual car and it's electrical equipment.
 If the car owner uses extra lights, cigar lighters, trouble finders and ac- cessories of that character, he is really overlooking the battery and will in a short time practically exhaust it. if he depends upon the generator alone to re place the power that he is using.
 ITO prevent battery exhaustion caused by these extras, the battery must be charged at regular intervals at service station or the generator must be read justed to feed power enough to it to take care of the extra load
 Ut is entirely probable that the latter cannot be done, for the generator along with the rest of the electrical equipment, Is designed to fit the normal needs of the car In this case, then. the car owner should not be surprised and grieved when he is called upon to pay for outside charging.
 ITO repeat, the motorist must be very careful in the fitting of his car with elee- trical equipment"

 Hugh L.. Scott, formerly chief of staff.
 today was ordered relieved of his
 command of the Seventy-eighth (na-
 tionaI army) division at Camp Dix,
 N. J., and placed in command of the
 camp itself, which is to be made an
 authorization camp. Brig. Gen. James
 T. Dean has been appointed to tenn
 po1arily command the Seventy-e eighth
 division.
 No official reason for the order was
 assigned. General Scott came to Wash
 ington this week for examination by
 the medical board appointed to deter
 mine the fitness of officers to hold commands on the fighting front in
 France and he understood that he had passed the test. Five other divisional commanders had been relieved of their commands earlier in the week because they failed to pass the physical ex- animation
 The general policy in the war de- pertinent has been not to give fight ing commands to officers who have reached the retirement age, in the be. lief that when an officer has passed G. years he is not qualified for the arduous duties which a command or tHe pdttlei.oHt entails General ScOtl reached retirement age last Septenl.
