seem so foolish to have the stick of al. umbrella right in the middle, especially when we are wearing a large hat.
 Old colonial records in this country give us some rather interesting infor nation about umbrellas, and we read about belle in Windsor, Conn, who ventured to walk forth on rainy day with an umbrella that had been brought to her from the West Indies. She was looked upon as almost inde- cent. She might as well have danced Jig in her nightcap and to show their disapproval the good neighbors 'thronged about her, balancing large sieves on spoon handles. For to them this new-fangled device looked like nothing in the world but sieve on 9 broom handle.
 As time went on, the actual useful ness of umbrellas was seen, and a dec- ado before the revolution they were by no means unheard of, though in 1797, we are told. there was but one umbrella in all of Cambridge, Mass. and the owner of 1t made a pretty penny renting it out by the hour co cautious persons in rainstorms. The fact that persons of means did not need to go on foot and that persons without means did not generally have clothing so fine that it mattered much whether it was rainsoaked or not, had something to do with the slow recep- ticn of umbrellas. Women carried them considerably sooner than men did-in fact, they were considered ef- feminate At about the time of the revo . lution, advertisements appeared in cer- tain papers making known that a cer- tain umbrella maker would cut out um- brellas for ladies who bought the u1n- brella sticks and forms from him, and then these leisured ones would make their own umbrellas according to di- rections. These first umbrellas were clumsy contrivances, frequently made of heavy oilskin. They compared about as well with . modern, finely made. woman's umbrella, as an old fashioned flintlocl1 does with modern rifle.
 But though umbrellas have inn proved most folk who batter about in the rain feel convinced that they are not the last word and that some day something will be invented, ,--and it would require no genius of an inven- tor to do it, either--that win keep us dry in wet weather more effectively.

665D)E patriotic; use better speech.
 tEN The High school of Birming-
 ~ ham has joined the National Speech league of America and declared a state of war against poor English, and each and every one of us can do cur bit if we only try
 This ringing declaration of war against the use of bad grammar and poor Eng lish comes from clever Miss Marguerite Weaver, the efficient and able teacher of expression and English in the Cen tral High school. Miss Weaver Is one of Birmingham's most accomplished young study of expression and English and has developed not only into a most charming and attractive young woman, but teacher of marked ability and talent. Miss Weaver is at the head of the bet ter speech movement Tn the high school and associated with her is Mrs. Conrad Ohme, the head of the same movement In the Wonian's clubs, Mrs. Roberts, in the Mothers clubs; Miss Claudia Crunp- ton of the Montevallo school, president of the state work while pr. Phillips, Pro- lessor Oieln ana OtH6T .uotbDiS SuuSe~eSAo are also interested and actively engaged in the campaign now being conducted.
 "The Speech League of America" Miss Weaver said, sends out the word that we are expected to show our patriotism just at this time to our language as well as to our country by the use of our own language effectively. This is only an- other form OF patriotism, one which all of us can participate in.'
 Alabama has the opportunity to excel in good speech" Miss Weaver continued, nestled as we are among the foothills free from the invasion of foreign ele- ments Think of New York and her problems of speech Of course, We have the negroes, who have had a great influ- ence upon our speech. Yet with cuitiva- ton and culture we are able to overcome this. Southern voices are unusually sort and pleasant and great educators de- clare that it Is quite possible for the southern voice and speech to become the hest. and since it is within our reach let us make the effort.

''The womens' clubs of the foremost cities have worked along this line for the past few months. Mems clubs are interested, and great results are ex- pected," said Miss Weaver. "The Amer ican speech committee of the Chicago Womans clubs has adopted the following resolution:
 Whereas, far greater efficiency in all walks of life, better voices, better ar ticulation and enunciation are much to be desired, therefore, be 1t
 Resolved. That we indorse the effort of the American speech committee of the Chicago Woman's clubs to raise the standard of American speech
 Birmingham is, as usual, busy in its part of this movement. The school is one of the best newsspreaders in the city and much work can be done and is be- ing done there, said Miss Weaver.

HOW ABOUT UMBRELLAS?
EDITED By ANNE. ]

For less than 200 years have um- brellas been used by mortals here be- Iow--or at least accidental mortals
 And yet when we trip forth on a rainy day, perfectly secure in the feeling that the rain from the clouds above. and the caves around us will not drip on our heads, or spot our clothes. we don't feel that we are doing anything ex
 tremely modern. In fact a good many women look upon umbrellas as ex- tremely antiquated, and would wei. come with the proverbial open arms someone who invented a contraption that would shield us from rain and perhaps might be held in m upright position by means of two pieces that clamped upon our sholders.

NO MORE FRENCH CANDLES
 AND RATION HEATERS

The following circular letter from w. J. Leppert of New Orleans, the director of unior membership of the Red Cross. will be self explanatory and will be of interest to many:
 New Orleans, December 2o.-To Ala bama chapters: Latest instructions con corning junior activities reads: French candles, or ration heaters, cannot be sent to Europe This decision is based on telegram from Major Murphy, reporting the result of investigation in France. They are doubtless useful in the trenches and can be made to advantage by won- en and children in Europe-but not here 5000 miles from the front. The cargo space at the disposal of the Red Cross is so limited that only absolute essential supplies, surgical dressings, food, warm clothes, can be shipped.
 Knowledge of this situation must be given wide publicity, since magazines and movies are still urging the produc- tion of these articles. Supplies already on hand may be distributed by the Red Cross chapters for local use through the charitable organizations. Therefore. in the future please be governed by above expression on the subject of Trench Candles or Ration Heaters. Very re- spectfully, w J. LEPPERT. TRAFFODL.CAMPEk
