WOMEN TAKE LEADING PART IN
 WELCOMING THE HEROES BACK HOME
B, PATRIOTIC PATRICIA


 Anniston, May 1o.-(Special.)-The same splendid work which characterized the work of the girls during the war period is in constant evidence in the important work of reconstruction days.
 During the war knowledge that the soul of American womanhood was enlisted in service for them furnished inspira- ton to the soldier boys on the firing line.
 The same women who worked with consecrated devotion and unfailing hero ism for every means by which the army holding the fort at home could aid in the mighty struggle for liberty are now mo bilizing their time, energy and patriot ism for the conduering heroes who are being welcomed back to their beloved home land.
 The desire to secure the means to give the men who have been disabled while fighting for our liberty the vocational training so necessary for their future success proved a great incentive to the splendid army of women who worked so faithfully for the Victory Loan.
 The girls are lending their talents gen. erously to the entertainments given at the war camp community building for returned soldiers and no social event can be complete success without their beauty and charm.
 The girls of Calhoun county are most enthusiastic over the great welcome dem- onstration to be given on May @ in An niston in honor of every Calhoun county soldier and sailor who has been in ser vice Girls from all over the county will serve the bounteous repast which is to be contributed by the housewives of the county for the 600 soldier guests. At tractive maids are to serve on the en- tertainment committee and participate in all of the social features given for the conquering heroes Beautiful patriotic floats are being planned for the spectacu- Jar parade to be given on the gala day to which the girls will lend their aid
 Miss Nell Snow is one of Anniston's popular and lovely girls who rendered valuable aid in the Victory Loan drive and is helping with the plans being made by the Calhoun County League of Welcome. Last week Miss Snow typi- fled Peace" in an impressive, beauti- full tableaux which was one of three planned by MT. William Henry Woods and Miss Carrie Mcclure Knox and presented at the Lyric to bring vivid ly before the people of Anniston the importance of the Victory Loan. The three tableaux, with Mrs. Paul D. Vann as Columbia, Miss Nellie Gallagher as Liberty and Miss Snow as Peace will be used again on large, white floats in the parade on May 29.
 Miss Shows splendid brother, Frank Snow. Jr., honored his town and coun try by being one of the first to mako the supreme sacrifice for liberty When the news came on June 9 that Frank Snow had been killed in battle, Anris- tonians first begun to realize the ter rible tragedy of war and the price that the peace loving people of our home land would be called upon to pay. AL ready it has been proven that Frank Shows life has not been given in vain.

for as he sleeps mid the peoples on Flanders field, his heroic example has inspired the people of his beloved home town to work and sacrifice, uniting them in sweet bands of fellowship with the heroes who kept the faith on bloody battlef1elds. As notes of joy ring out in welcoming home those who return the bells will toll in loving re- membrance of those who died in order to make the home coming of the liv- ing a triumph.

 But there were those who were restive
 under feminine domination, and so one day they demanded that she choose a
