7NHr celebration of Alabama Day

C7TJHE celebration of Alabama Day
 on December H. is an event of in-
 terest to many throughout the state and Mrs. Idle King sorsby, who sl founder of the Alabama Day, tells most interestingly of her plans for the cele- bration of Alabama centennial, Decem- Der IA, 1919. She says in part:
 The quaint idea of personifying the state and giving real birthday parties. using the large cake and the many sig nificant candles, had its origin in the custom of childhood, and memory fits back to the birthday party when I wore a wreath of golden jessamine blos- sons and 'revepd in the trills of mock ing birds in spring time.
 My first pronounced work in Alabama endeavor was in 1SS6 This brought me in touch with educators and historical and genealogical writers here and else- where. About 1890 more active efforts were made and consistently continued, though met by apathy and discourage ment. In the present frequentcy of an- niversary celebrations it is impossible to appreciate existing conditions when De- cember 14, 1897, I decided to recognize and honor Alabamas birthday by the formation of the Pierian club of East Lake. This was literary organization, having for its motto Purity and Pa- triotism.'
 ''The first formal celebration of Ala bama Day was observed in Birmingham under the auspices of the department of history of the Womans club then in the zenith of it's glory. I was director of this department, and had arranged a programme on Alabama history for the years study. It also chanced I was vice president of the Alabama Historical society. However, when I announced by birthday celebration purpose to friends, many of them smiled and exclaimed Who ever heard of such a thing?' It must be admitted they had just grounds for com ment, for in those days truly none of us had ever heard of a like celebration. enthusiastically continued my preparation for patriotic vocal and instrumental mu- -sie by school children, appropriate decor ations and the great cake with it's many candles, and gently replied, Think how you would feel to be so years old before anyone loved you enough to give you birthday party"
 This first formal celebration was a distinct success. A number of descrip- iNS SiipSt SlNlIlS IllHule QeldllS OI Ine occasion, were enclosed in personal let ters to the governors (and many edu- cators and citizens) of the other states. urging consecutive observance of each states anniversary.
 For almost 20 years I have urged a statewide centennial celebration in De- cember, 1919, with an especially brilliant observance at Birmingham which is probably Alabama's greatest achievement In the first century of her existence as state, but main celebration in Mont gomery.
 Now that the centennial is drawing near, we should feel inspired to greater enthusiasm and activity in honoring Ala bama-'for the time to favour her. yea, the set time is come'
 'The Alabama Birthday Centennial flag resembled the simple state flag enriched with our state history. The white star Tn center represents Montgomery, and the four crimson stars in the white spaces

Reading Zoe Beckleys First Novel, the Title of Which is "A Chance To Live" One Finds Many Distinguishing Features Predominating, Not the
 Least of Which is Originality and Charm

or-on-the life of this daughter of the tencments who had great deal of trou- ble in making enough money to live on; on-on-through the ups and downs, the obstacles and the misery which confront ed her-with only a small contribution now and then from Aunt Meggie" to off set things; on-on-threugh. Annies ex- periences, first in a factory, later as a telephone operator. until finally love comes into the little tenement girls life and Bernie asks her to share with him his lot, which she does; on-on-through their first days of marriage which were very, very happy-until incidents crowd about, which almost cause the couple to drink the bitter dregs of despair, but q vision saves them-a vision which is com mon to both of them and which wonder fully materializes and at last the dawn breaks and like all good story books, they lived happily ever after"
 When I finished reading "A Chance to Live" I had many sensations; one was this: that I am proud to know It's au- thor and call her my friend; because l think she has written very human doc unent: she has written this human doc- ument with unusual understanding, with unusual vision, which shows that besides being the possessor of a mind, big mlnd, she is also the possessor of heart a big heart-and she knows human weak Iiesses, human passions and human sut ferings.
 Truly I congratulate Zoe Beckley upon her first book baby" I consider 1t big. bouncing. healthy, wholesome young ster with good strong legs to stand on; smiling, buoyant, joyous, he reflects his mothers personality and he has inner itedf her sunshiny nature, her originality and her sweetness, her cleverness ana her love for her fellow man.
 He tips the scales at ''ten pounds'- good weight-and, I~predict I for him long and happy life of popularity and usefulness.
 Yes, Zoe Beckley's first 'book-baby' looks like it's mother; it is charm ing expression of her talent and her

THE MAKING OF A FAMOUS
 MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Is Prepared For
 Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this successful remedy is made impresses even the casual lookeron with the reli- ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness which attends the making of this great medicine for woman's ills.
 Over $50, ,000 pounds of various herbs are used annually and all have to be gathered at the season of the year when their natural juices and medicinal sub stances are at their best
 The most successful solvents are used to extract the medicinal properties from these herbs.
 Every utensil and tank that comes in contact with the medicine is sterilized and as final precaution in cleanliness the medicine is pasteurized and sealed ip sterile bottles.
 It is the wonderful combination of roots and herbs, together with the skill and care used in it's preparation which has made this famous medicine so successful in the treatment of female ills.
 The letters from women who have been restored to health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound whichswe are continually pub- fishing attest to it's virtue.

If, however the faithful few. who have never stopped working, are leit to dos the wohle, there will be no Christmas furlough for them, as they will have to work without stopping until Jan- uary.

Red Cross Christmas Roll Call of whole American People; membership lists open December 16-23, population the limit.
 Mississippi has challenged Louisiana and Alabama for the honors of the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. Every chapter in Mississippi is Ion it's toes for the race to beat the rival states of the Gulf division, American Red Cross. The goalsis universal membership and the time for the race is December 16 toT 23
 The race, however, began at series of state conferences of Cliff division of ficials with chapter roll call officials in New Orleans, Alexandria, Jackson, Miss, Birmingham and Mobile
 The judges will be the division officials in charge of the Rolf Call, when every American man. woman and child is ex- pected to answer "aye" to the Red Cross summons. In the language of the times, the Roli Call is a campaign foN dollar memberships.
 To help the chapters of their states get flying start, the governors have issued special proclamations setting aside the week of December 16 to 2s for the roll call. The division is sending out the proclamation posters with a liberal sup ply of other posters by artists of national reputation
 In all, it is calculated 25OOO0 posters will be distributed to the chapters ot the Gulf division.
 Overseas speakers-British and French officers and civilians-college professors, journalists, thousands of four minute ,xrefl drive home the call For All Humanity"
 WORKERS NEEDED
 The Red Cross society is an organized army, and all of us, as members. are subject to orders. Certainly none of us are willing to be deserters as long as our work is needed, and that it is needed, we are told by our govefhment. There are not enough supplies in Storage for the near requirements. Shipments have been sent overseas as fast as collected Many many injured soldiers are suffer- ing from running wounds which may have to have dressings for as long as year and a half or two years. Thousands of our defenders will drag out long, weary months in convalescent hospitals, and they must be clothed. Distracted smothers of Hun marked daughters can- not yet command themselves to sit down and sew,s nor will the widowed mothers have time, for they must take the fathers places as providers of shelter and food.
 The price American women have paid or can pay for the protection of peace, is very small compared to what it has cost the women of Europe. Let us then be just with others and exacting with ourselves.
 In view of the situation, Jefferson county chapter ought to triple it's pro- duction of refugee garments. The Gulf division is now three months behind schedule in it's allotment of knitted arti-S cles. We have been honored as one of 10, selected from the 252 chapters of the Gulf division to continue surgical dress ings until April The government is furnishing all materials for these dress ings free.
 We are not weary of well doing, near sighted. nor selfish. are we? If all the women whose names are on the lists of units would really do their Dit imme- diatey. we could finish our allotments

CzECHo- sLovAK SUCCESS.
Caucasus Cities, a Black Sea Port and
Two Warships Captured.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-The cap
ture of Czecho- Slovak forces of several
cities in the Causasusa and Black sea
port, where two Russian warships were
seized and a steamer sunk, is reported
in the Austrian semioflicial newspaper
Reichspost, according to information
received yesterday by the Czeeho-S lo-
wax national council.
The warships guns were turned
against the port of Novorosisk, where
they were seized, the newspaper said
but no details as to the damage done
were given. Cities captured included
Stavropol, Sirjebriakov and Michel
ovka, while it was said that the Czecho
Slovaks operating with Russian white
guards had occupied Syrian.
While no additional information has
been received, officials of the council
said there was nothing improbable IN
the newspaper account as many
Czecho- Slovaks had been held prison
ers by the Russians in the Caucasus
and southern Russia They were in
elined to accept the report as entirely
authentic, since it appeared in semi
official Austrian organ which hereto
fore had been reluctant to admit any
successes by the CzechoSlovaks.
