E7T1 HE following from the pen of Mrs
 Newman Smith, who was for
 = merly Rosalind Sayre of Mont gomery will be read with interest, as Mrs. Smith is part of the 1s7th infantry, since her husband, Captain Smith, is commanding officer of the machine gun company, which is attached to this or ganization.
 Mrs. Smith says:
 ''The tobacco fund for the Alabama boys now in France wasn't raised It just grew It is blazing a smoky trail up and down and round the state and bids fair to become the pet activity of all whose hearts are following the old Fourth regiment through it's ordeal by fire, yet it sprang from a spark dropped in the course of casual conversation be- tween the colonel's lady and some of her friends.
 Talk centered on the war, as it all ways does these days It dwelt particu- larly on the part the 167th infantry has already begun to play in the strug- gle. The last letters which the now much sought after postman had deliv- cred from over there has read, between the lines, that the training period was at an end, that our boys were ready and eager to tackle the toughest Hun that ever shouldered a gun-that they were going up
 ''In the same letters came word of how remembrances that are constantly going forward to the troops from back home stimulate and maintain the morale 111nr ho a1 ba dri1lc a md a nd orders the most convincing officer can give. Specifically, in answer to an in uu;ry as to what the boys really want and need came this:
 ""Letters, of course, are food for our souls and need of them goes without saying. Everybody who has anybody over here will write and write often if they have half a heart Socks we need, because Napoleon was right when he said that an army was only as good as it's feet and We can't get protection enough for ours when we are buried knee deep in mud and slush and snow, as we have been these past four months
 Tt is true that hardly a man has written home without asking for socks and more socks. They have sweaters a-plenty. they say, some of them ga lore, but there is no such thing as hav- ing enough socks when the march is long and boots freeze stiff and laundry fla cilities are few and far between. if not lacking altogether. Socks, though, come under the dominion of the Red Cross oI the haberdasher, so that item was not stressed in the conversation.

Birmingham Should Be Proud of the Wonderful Work Done By pr. Phillips Dr. Brown and the Board of Education Since the Burning of the High SchcoF
 -ELBERTA STATE CONDUCTOR

Brown ready for use one month to the day when 1t was started. The high school building was burned on Tuesday The following Monday Dr. Brown had his plans practically under headway Tor taking care of the high school girls and boys. The gymnasium is almost com pleted. The swimming pool and other things connected with the school are nearing completion. The lunch hour IS observed by the serving of lunches just as 1t was over at the old high school. There are adjustable shelves arranged, which furnish room for the lunches so be served, and the whole scheme of affairs is running along in apple pie or der, just as it was in the old days of the beloved high school before the fire.
 "The labora tory is in tiptop shape, the rooms being well lighted and large and commodious, said Miss Taylor. The forge shop is promised within the month. The upper floor of the medical dispen- sary has been converted into quarters for mechanical drawings and things of that sort The pianos, string instru- ments. and all sorts of things in that line belonging to the high school were de- stroyed-the string instruments alone being valued at over S500-yet Miss Hand- ley is delightfully."- installed, amidst at tractive surroundings with lovely piano and everything in this department is moving along splendidly."
 "Dr. Brown is so modest that he never acknowledge that he had done anything in the general scheme of re- habilitating and re-establishing condi- tions for the high school Miss Taylor said land that's why I want the good citizens of Birmingham to know just what a magnificent work he has done. Of course, he couldn't have accomplished the splendid things he has without Dr. Phillips and the board of education and the beautiful spirit of loyalty and civic pride that they have shown, and the main point I want to make is the eff cient team work, pr. Phillips, Dr. Brown and the board of education, and what magnificent success it has achieved.
 "When the Alabama Educational asso- citation meets in Birmingham next week, Miss Taylor said, q feel sure that one Of the most interesting sessions ever held vii. be this one, for it will reveal to those $50 ardent educational workers what may be done by team work, deter imitation and loyalty. The present high school accommodations have sprung Aladin-like from the ashes of nothing, and today Birmingham finds her high school pupils and teachers driving on in their accustomed splendid fashion to- ward the education of the coming gene rationS.'

 lin fact, it will be held in Birmingham next week-everybod is asking how Birmingham is going to take care of the $50 delegates who will be present. now that the high school auditorium is no more and for that reason l paid visit to pr. Brown and found out, so l could tell the teachers of Alabama who will be here next week. In the first place, pr. Browns work has been little short of marvellous. He hasn't slept day or night-perhaps two hours sleep occasion ally at night-.but all the time he has been planning and deyising and working out schemes, until today he has the situation practically in command.
 ''Over at the old Medical college" Miss Taylor said, "Dr. Brown has been quar- tered Here he has transformed the old clinic room into schoolrooms. Also at the Southside Baptist church classes have been held, while others have been domiciled at the Paul Hayne school In the meantime, an addition has been made to the Medical college (with b rooms), which has been promised to Dr.

 T don't know whether you've been over to the Southside and seen the work that pr. Phillips, pr. Brown and the board of education are putting through or not" Miss Taylor began, by way of preface, but I have, and, having just few hours more in Birmingham before returning to my duties in Montgomery, decided that I'd come to see you and ask you to tell the people of your city what magnificent achievement stands to the credit of those I have mentioned.
 "Dr Brown, being president of the Alabama Educational association, his work in the rebuilding of the high school appeals to me especially Misss Taylor continued, "because going all over the state, as I do, holding institutes, and with the annual meeting of the Alabama Educational association so near at hand

SECRETARY GRAHAM IS DOING FINE WORK
pv pATRIoTIc PATRICIA

Anniston. March 21.-( Special )-One of the most interesting men at Camp Mcclellan is Secretary Graham, the popular Young Mems Christian asso- citation director. Secretary Graham left a splendid wool business in New York, and at great personal sacrifice, is mobilizing through the Y. NJ C. A. all of his time and energy in means for the up-lift of the splendid assemblage of young manhood gathered at the cantonment.
 Mr. Graham is jolly Scotchman, with a magnetic personality and big heart. He has won many admirers throughout Alabama during his stay at the camp. Arrangements for the en- tertainments given for the diversion of the soldier boys are made through MT. Graham.
 In speaking of the many acts of thoughtfulness shown his boys" MT. Graham, in an interview yesterday said; q have never seen more beau tiful response than have met from the citizens of Birmingham. Every week party from the Magic City lend valuable assistance in furnishing well come diversion to our boys, and l want them to know how deeply our '. M. c. A. appreciate their services"
 MT Graham is quite enthusiastic over having Mir. Robert Lawrence with the boys at camp. The inspiration ar : forded through music is one of our greatest factors for good in every phase of war work said Mir. Graham I'm sure l could never march or fight with spirit without the inspiration Of d bagpipe We fcertainly found the right man for the right place when we discovered Robert Lawrence. It is well worth a trip of many miles to hear the boys sing under his leadership. He has appointed a good musician to instruct and lead each regiment and has ac- complished a wonderful amount during the past two weeks. The Y. M. c A. greatly prize the services offered the boys through the Drama league and through the Music Study club" con cluded MT. Graham, and are most grateful for every token of apprecia- ton shown by individuals to our brave soldier boys
 With one of the most delightful programmes ever presented to Camp Mcclellan, seven attarctive girls with Miss Hattie Morton, principal of the Louie Compton seminary, of Birming- ham, entertained in honor of the 111th field artillery at Y. M. c. A. building 115. The programme rendered to the delight of a crowded house was as fol- lows:
