who have boys, husband, friends over
 there!
 Of course, we might make house-to-
 house canvass for funds for the shower"
 Mrs. Cabaniss said, we might have pa-
 rades and four minute speakers and all
 that sort of thing, and raise the funds necessity of responding to the eall--
 ment for the Red Cross linen shower
 drive, but we have assiduously avoided
 these methods because of so many other
 drives which of necessity had to use this
 plan We have gone about 1t in an un- ostentatious way, hoping that the good
 people of Birmingham would see the necessity of responding to the call-hee
 the absolute need of these ordinary com modities of life for our soldiers, and thus
 give generously. Many have responded nobly-many have given generously-but it is not enough that a few should carry the burden. There is yet a deficit of $90OO which must be raised before No- vember l. Who will aid us?
 "I have never seen more valiant and splendid work done than that which has chairman of the Red Cross linen shower drive, and her committee. Mrs Hundley has worked unceasngly and she has given her time and her best efforts to the movement. Too much cannot be said in compliment to her and her eo-work- CTS and. in behalf of Mrs. Hundley and the Red Cross linen shower drive, 1t is up to us to make Birminghams s splen- did record one of over the top in this as in every other drive"

''The Usual Linen Shower Visuazes the Happy Bride And Groom But the Red Cross Linen Shower Visuaizes the Poor Suffering Sick Soldier Who Asks Our Aid''
By DOLLY DALRYmpLE
HRC7TlHE usual linen shower visuat
 izes the happy bride and groor

lHHO7TI1E usual linen shower visual
 izes the happy bride and groom and cozy home-the beginning
 of life with all of it's roseate dreams and joys awaiting. but the Red Cross linen shower visualizes far different con dition. The poor. suffering, wounded, sick soldier who asks for aid-perhaps life is nearly over for him and in his 1 last days he craves cleanliness and com fort and something that brings a touch of home to him as he lies in the cheer less hospital-after facing the grimmest warfare, giving up his life for his coun- try"
 Mrs. E. IT. Cabaniss chairman of the executive board of the Red Cross, thus
 emphasized the situation yesterday in speaking of the tremendous necessity for & hearty response to the movement now being conducted for our soldiers under
 the name of the Red Cross linen shower
 drive.
 Mrs. Cabaniss,, ever ready to give her time and talents for any war measure, ever ready to sponsor any movement which will help our soldiers. urges that NAtlllH tllt next leW OdyS the uenclt now existing ill Brmingham's quota for the
 Red Cross linen drive be made up. She feels a tremendous pride in Birmng- hams record for going cover the top in every war drive thus far exploited and she would feel very much hurt if in ths drive Birmingham fell below her average.
 We have tried to avoid going to a certain number of wealthy people who always give so liberally to every war civic or charitable movement" Mrs Cabaniss said because this is a war meas sure which gives everybody an op- portunity to do their bit for their coun- try. Why, if everybody in Birming- ham would give us sl we would not have to ask anybody for g, 8, S4 or 5. Our sister city of Tuscaloosa has sent
 Us & check for s25 through one of it's most prominent clubs saying that they
 had made up their quota and didn't need the money. Can Birmingham sit by and accept aid from an outsider, Birmingham, which has always been so splendidly generous?
 We are 5000 short of our necessary funds for the purchase of 4000 sheets and l5.GO0 towels" Mrs. Cabaniss continued. "Our towel contribution, of course. was interrupted by the influenza epidemic, which caused the schools to be closed 1 and it was to the schools we were look l ing for our towels. The churches were closed for the same reason and the clubs 1 too, and we had hoped to make an ap- | peal through these institutions. So we 1 really have been greatly handicapped and as we have only few days left

G7TJHE following interesting letter from
 a friend tells of a most interest
 ing little stay at Brompton, where they visited the little new movie vil- lage:
 At 6:3O Sunday morning two parties Of young people alighted at Brompton sta- tion One of the young men called out: Are you going to Westons placer" One lady objected to going so soon, suggest ing that all wait at the depot until a reasonable hour, but upon the insistance of the young man all descended upon "Weston's place." where the men made log fire in the big living room fire place and lighted lamps and all made ourselves thoroughly at home until our host and hostess could present them selves. One could not find more de- iightful couple than Mir. and Mrs. Al Westcn, who could so readily put their guests at ease. It was only a few moments till everyone was an old friend. Some took buckets to the springs for water-and wonderful springs they are. too, dozen or more lthia and iron some went to neighbours for fresh butter and milk, some followed MT. Wes- ton on tour of inspection over the hills and valleys where plans are being made to build a film city. Some stayed at the house to prepare a delicious break fast. The visitors met the old time southern hospitality, and upon leaving were escorted to the gate by Mr. Weston, who made picturesque figure as he bade us come up home any time we could run away from Birmingham.
 Mir. Weston, born in Georgia, lived in Texas. and travelled everywhere. Was a lieutenant of rough riders at San Juan, colonel in the Philippine instruction, took up movie" work and has taken pie lures for photo plays over the territory now filled with our boys in khaki, all of which makes him one of the most in- teresting men. His company has just finished War Mothers" the scenes of which were laid in Montgomery and Selma
 The scenery around their home at Brompton is wonderful. The mountain in front of their bungalow, which sits way back from the road on a knoll sur rounded by trees, is the equal of any I saw out west, with the sun shining through the mist on it's red and brown and green. MT. Weston said that he searched for six months before deciding that the spot he selected was the most beautiful The name is the American Photcplay City Co.,, Inc. Their plans are to build a large studio, 35 cottages for the photoplay actresses and their chaperons, which will be connected with the studio by an inclosed promenade, to build an apphitheatre seating 25oo, cov- cred without removing the trees, for Win ter use, sunken garden in which to grow their own necessary flowers and shrubbery walks and bridges, little lake, also an island. The company has do- hated five acres for depot grounds, and 40 acres to the government, on which to build the sanitarium-h
 This will be used for soldiers and sail ors who need new work. They are to be taught every phase of photoplay work.

 TO complete the working arrangemens MT. Crlttenden has named Val J. Nesbit or Birmingham as vice chairman of four-minute men and Mrs. oscar Hund- ley VIII assist In directing the four-min- ute women.
 In turn MT Nesbit has been named chairman of the Red Cross speakers of Alabama. He will work in close CO., operation with the publicity bueau. and with the loyal help and sacrifice of the many hundreds of leading Alabama men will be able to reach every nook and corner of the state with the stories of The Greatest Mother" how she is caring for every mothers boy and how every boy at war can feel sure the greatest mother Is truly being a mother to his own mother.
 MT. Nesbit came to New Orleans and spent several days going over the de- tails of the publicity bureau work, par- ticularly regarding the speakers. His of- fees as chairman of the Alabama Red Cross speakers will be at the Civic asso- ciation, twenty-third floor of the Jeffer- son Bank building Birmingham, and his organization will be in motion at mo- mentS notice.
