you know that the natives of-of-of-- er--um, what you may call it-where they grow-shoot them with poisoned arrows and that they die slow and painful death, just so that they may be denuded of their beautiful feathers? Do you know that it is only you and other dear women like you who keep these cruel monsters prowling through the woods slaying these beautiful, in- nocent creatures?
 Do you know also that the ostrich plumes you wear have made prisoners of all the ostriches there are in the world? Do you know that where they once went on their happy way, fitting from branch to branch in the forest, that they are now all penned up like convicts and that once month their cruel-hearted owner comes around and pulls their p1umes out by tho roots? Iris said that great tears of pain roll down the checks of the ostrich when these plumes are p1ucked.
 Now, dearie, you know that I do not interfere in your affairs to any ex- tent, but it just breaks my heart to think you would allow yourself to be a party to such cruel things and I want you to proclaim aloud to the world your

 tary of the Birmingham Chapter of the Red Cross:
 The women workers of the Jefferson county chapter of the Red Cross are asked to make up one last allotment of clothing for the suffering people of Ea1ope When this is finished the wo- mans work department O fthe Gulf di- vision will be closed,
 The Red Cross has been making care ful investigations in Europe, and finds there is still need for clothing in the devastated countries, especially in view of the fact that winter is coming.
 The Gulf division has still number of cut garments on hand, and this ma terial will be wasted unless the chap ters are willing to make it up.
 The Birmingham chapter standing at the head of the honor roll will certainly not fail to respond to this one last ap- peal, consumating it's wonderful war work
 The canteen will not disband until ordered mustered out on November 1st. the home service department will con- tinue it's splendid activity as long as it is needed, and surely the women workers will see their work through.

 Mortimer gazed at him for an in- stant, his eyes plainly showing that he had not taken in the full import of the question. His mouth opened and for the space Of few seconds it seemed that he was going to give the old man an answer. Marshall leaned forward. unable to hide the sud- den excitement that flushed his face.
 Again Mortimer regained control of his befuddled faculties. With mo- ticeable effort he brought himself up to normal pitch. and a little frown creased his brow as he gazed into Marshalfs eyes.
