AUTOMOBILES AND TRUCKS

A thousand automobiles and hum dreds of trucks sounded their sirens as they moved about the streets, or where they were parked along the Eutters. Fire crackers, inoffensive explosives Of all kinds were touched off all along the street; blank cartridges were fired from revo1vers In fact, if there Is anything in Birmingham that can pos- sibly make noise and was not in use last night. it was an oversight on the part of the celebrants.

SOLDIERS DISAPPOINTED

Several squads of soldiers boy passing along Twentieth street were cheered as long as they remained in sight and hun dreds of men and women rushed up to shake their hands.
 "Its he'll" said one first lieutenant Here we've been waiting for weeks
 for the order to go over there and be-

 A report circulated that orders had
 come from Washington for all the whistles at the Louisville and Nash vile shops and yards at Boyles to blow at o'clock.

Heavy trucks laden with scores of hu- man beings rolled into the heart of the city and traversed the streets, their oc- cupants yelling and laughing. By 8 o'clock the streets downtown were crowd ed with vehicles of all kinds, from the small flivver. with its o-passenger ca pacity, to the high-powered touring car, carrying it's seven or eight passengers.
 At F o'clock the Louisville and Nash- vile Railroad shop employees at Boyles laid down their tools and, shouting and laughing, started for the city. At Fair field, with the reception of the peace ru- nor. work promptly ceased and a long procession of men and women boarded street cars, trucks, automobiles or foot ed it, in long procession headed for the city.
 CESSATION OF BUSINESS
 Some of the stores closed their doors, and as for the business they did dur ing the balance of the afternoon all the others might just as well have done so. The people were in no mood for shopping; they were happy, rejoicing "Our boys are coming back,'' they yelled to each other. There will be no more bloodshed! Civilization wins! The Hun is done fori"
 Half a dozen boys of 10 or F years ran east on Highland avenue yelling "Extral All about the Kaiser asSa ssinated." Peo- pie rushed out of their homes for sev- eral blocks around to buy papers, only to find out that the boys were not vending papers, but merely perpetrating q little joke on the South Highanders.
 Big trucks packed with human beings oop in oll oyt, of fu from Woodward Iron company's plant, from North Birmingham, Gate City, Pow derly, East Birmingham-the mining dis tricts. All the afternoon and early eve ming every road leading to the city was crowded with vehicles headed cityward. They were decorated with American flsgs and bunting and their occupants had provided themselves with every conceiv- able kind of instrument that would make noise, from the cheap tin whistle to big drum. Some even had robbed their kitchens of tops to tin buckets, using them al cymbals. Little horns, big horns, dinner bells, COW bells, bells and horns of all sizes and kinds, were everywhere making the loudest noise possible.
 BUILDING DECORATED
 Within a few minutes after, the first rumor of the signing of the armistice spread on the streets the business houses and office buildings downtown were pro- fusely decorated with American flags From every window they were unfurled to the breezes.
 As night came on the crowds grew until it was almost impossible to pass along the streets. At Second avenue and Twentieth street, from 6 o'clock until late hour, the congestion of pedestrians and vehicles alike was so great that traf- fic officers gave up in despair their eff

Short Story of the Play.
Tell me the real naming of those
words" said Yvonne to Anatole.
They we're standing before the
fountain in the little French village
where they were born. Yvonne read
as she had read times without num-
ber, the inscription chiseled in the
stone facade of the fount:
Drink ye gladly from the cup of
sacrifice for though it first be bitter,
teh dregs are ever of the sweetest"
Anatole, soon to enter the priest
hood, and Yvonne, also about to ded-
icate her life to the church, were
soon to know better than most peo-
pie in the village the bitterness OF
the cup
The week had barely passed when
young German lieutenant, on fur
Tough, came to the little town and
found shelter for the night with
Yyonne's parents He coveted the
flower of the quaint little home, and
urged Yvonne to go away with him.
For shame to ask me-" cried
Yyonne with disdain But there was
black heart behind the smile on
the villains face.
81 will bide my time, said the sol
dier when I come back it will not
be for you to say, my pretty flower
It will be for me to act" And he
made good his threat
War had suddenly broken out
Eastern France was assailed, and it
was the young lieutenant who led
the troops that over.ran the little
village where Yvonne was now shell
tered in the convent.

Propose to Store Wood.

Mr. Humphreys, of the Chickasha
Milling company, in speaking of the
proposition Of providing for a re
serve supply of wood in case there
should ever be a serious shortage of
coal, said: Il understand there are
several men here who are hunting
work and who have teams. If we
could get these men to cut a supply
of wood we could store it here and
hold it as a reserve supply of fuel III
case the coal supply runs so short
that none could be obtained in time
to meet the demand Although | do
not believe there is any doubt but
that we can keep a supply OF coal
on hand here the greater part of the
time | think it would be we'll to
consider the wood proposition"

KNIT FOR
RED CROSS
(By George Martin United Press

Washington, Jan Its long

Cross told the United Press today
Sister Susie and her we'll known
habit of sewing shirts for soldiers
has been outclassed. The firemen
are fabricating fragments of fabric
for fighters
Chess, checkers, cards and news
papers pail in time The substitution
of motors for horses in many city
fire departments has even relieved
the firemen of the task of currying
and feeding horses.
SO the firemen knit.
One of the first experiments in hav-
ing the firemen knit was in Roches-
ter. N. Y, where George Eastman,
the kodak man and a prominent;
worker in the Rochester Red Cross
chapter. hit upon the idea of enlist
ing firemen in Red Cross work.
Knitting machines were provided
and the men now have competition
as to the length OF time required to
make sock, and also the quantity
that can be turned out in day. The
firemen are very glad to have some
thing to do in their leisure time and
are producing a large number of
socks.
The possibility Of utilizing the leis-
ure time of thousands OF firemen
throughout the country has been sug-
gested to the three thousand chap

to soldiers and sailors will be solic- i
