TO ALL RED CROSS WORKERS

It will ever be a distinction to have served in the Red Cross army during the war Only through the loyal and patr- otic service of it's members was the Red Cross able to carry on successfully the tremendous task allotted to it. It was the endeavor of many that made this ac- complishment possible, but as always the case, there are few who carried the heavier burden and made the great CT sacrifice. In recognition of such ex ceptional service, national and divisional
 headquarters are to issue certificates
 which will carry with them the right to
 purchase and wear the Red Cross service badge. These certificates will be awarded for a minimum service of 800 hours. If you think that the sum of all the hours of service you have given in all depart
 ments Of the Red Cross is equal to 800 or more hours please communicate at once with the chairman of the unit in which you work. If you worked as amin dividual please secure application blanks for certificates from Red Cross head quarters. Knitting is counted as fol- lows:
 Sweaters, 20 hours: muflers 20 hours;

Although the War Is Over, There Still Remains Some fthe Most Important Work Yet to Be Done And the
 Hundreds of Wounded Soldiers Over There Need
 Our Assistance, Which We Must Cheerfully Give
By DOLLY DALRYMpLE

] 1T|1 NERYBODY has been wondering 1 IT, what women would do for diver
 sion now that the war is over
 so many committees so many activi- l ties so much Red Cross, so much | Young Womens Christian association,
 so much Young Mems Christian asso-
 citation. so much everything. that so
 completely took up all our time and attention that the world was turned upside down and society was changed 1 in the twinkling of an eye from its l former butterfly state to one of real, genuine meaning.
 Everybody said that the slump ! would leave hundreds and thousands of women with folded hands inactive brains and terrible case of inertia, but it just goes to show how mistaken every body is, for even though the Witt the actual fghting-has ended. women are still giving their time and talent to reconstruction work-to welfare worb-to helping those soldiers who have been crippled, maimed and blinded in the great fight they made to save women and children from the iron hand of the Kaiser and from German rule. Not the least of the activities which now obtain and in which women are interested all over America, every city of importance practically being cor raled for the purpose, is the beautiful and humanitarian movement which IS known at "Le Bien Etre du Blesse." Organized and put into practical form by the French women. with Madame Poincare as the honorary president, the movement has spread far and wide and America is cementing her friend- ship for her allied countries by gen erously contributing her talent to this excellent cause. Alabama-Birmingh and various other cties-have fallen into line, so to speak, Organizing and preparing to raise the quota allowed to our state to help wounded soldiers-the conva- lescent soldiers-and in planning some thing to be given for the benefit of the "W elfare of the Wounded' in one of the most unique and delightful af- fairs of the season, has been arranged and Birmingham will have the oppor tunity to show her cooperation next Saturday afternoon when the tea dan- sant" at the Country club will be given for the benefit of Le Bien Etre du Blesse.
 Mrs. Edward H. Cabaniss always public spirited and generous with her talents, mas gfaclouSly accepted tno tchairmanship for the party and this is a complete assurance of its success; in the lexicon of good deeds and chari- table enterprises with which Mrs. Ca baniss has been connected the word failure" does not appear, and the crowning event of her successful chair mansnip of the many things she has sponsored will be the beautiful party next Saturday afternoon

'I declared openly that if we could 1uSt give party-a sort of fluffy-ruffles es'- party like we used to have before the war I'd be glad to undertake it. I mean by that if we could just get Birmingham together once more as in the old days, when there was no sorrow and no suffer- ing, and everybody was light hearted and happy; if the women would don their pretty spring bonnets and frocks. pin a rose coquettishly in the hair. wear an old-fashioned fischu with a Dolly Warden gown-and really look partified'-yes, I declared that if we could just do some thing of that sort I'd be only too glad to do my bit for the affair.
 And everybody is going to adopt the suggestion Mrs. Cabaniss said. The enthusiasm with which everybody is go. ing into the party shows conclusively that people want to get back to old times, normal ways and manners not foolishly but with splendid wonderful sprit-for a splendid wonderful cause and while offering diversion and pleasure at the party we are at the same time re- membering those wonderful soldier men over there who have felt the terrible scourge of war and are helpless to get well unless we help them.
 You see it's like this Mrs. Cabanlss said. 'The hospitals the Red Cross and other organizations furnish the actual requirements for the wounded soldiers. but once they become convalescent and require something outside of the usual run of hospital wares, there is nobody to furnish these things for them.
