AS far back as the first winter of
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, in
August, 1917, to send a full commits
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least, measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
TINS of the war had fallen is well
portrayed by this photograph of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression Of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

 Dear, there is most pitiful case down stairs. A poor man who has been thrown out of work by the strike came to the door and he had not had bite to eat since yesterday. He has no wife or chil- dren and he was, oh, so hungryl had Sarah give him something to eat in the kitchen and he seemed very thankful"
 T should think he would" exploded Andrew NO doubt he is a first-class yegnan and by this time has the silver located and he and one of his pals will be back for it tonight. Why don't you go down and pack it in basket and give it to him now and save us the trouble Of being awakened in the middle of the night by a man with dark lantern in one hand and gun in the otheri never saw such a softly as you are
 "It is not enough that I have to work my fingers to the bone to get enough food for you and myself, but you must call in all the idle loafers in the city and feed them on the fat of the land.

SOCIALAND CLUB NEWS AND ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN

couraging systematic buying of Thrift and War Savings Stamps.
 From the beginning of the movement to establish thrift in Alabama by buying and selling stamps and by forming the ing organized thrift the Alabama business women have been active. However, now that the plan has become a permanent one, and it is the governments aim that thrift shall be made habit of the Amer ican. people, We business women cannot do too much to assist in the W. $. s. movement. I therefore wish to add my personal word to what Miss Cranmer said and to urge our Alabama business a~~i professional women to follow her advice in taking "a definite responsibility upon themselves in advancing the thrift move ment." l hope that every business woman in the state will become d member of thrift club or society. They have a re- sponsibility as business women of doing all they can for themselves and for the government in making the thrift move ment a success. There it is possible to form societies in offices, stores. or fac tories, I hope that they VIII GO so
 Let's follow the slogan of the Ala bama committee. Buy what you need, save what you should, invest what you can in War Savings Stamps" and en- courage others to do so. Yours sincerely,

M AIS H. E. PEARcE. president of NlIMlt the Alabama Business and Profes- SVS slonal women's association, and chairman of the Business women's thrift and war savings committee. has sent the following letter to the business women of the state:
 Miss Catherine Cranmer, head of Ms souri's War Savings work, in her speech before the joint convention of the wom- en's chamber of commerce, United States. and the National Federation of Business and Professional Women, at St. Louis recently, sounded the keynote of womans success in industrial and economic life,
 Miss Cranmer declared that if women in business are handicapped in business nowadays, it is by lack of capital, think which also handicaps great many men. She declared that if women are to overcome this handicap, it must be done by saving
 There is for women a great source of power in systematic saving
 'sThe object of the thrift movement is to encourage people to save and not to 10 encourage N lSeT SpSiGluS and not to discourage spending; to en- large the independence of the individual, and not to restrict the sane and worth while pleasures of life. The purpose is to take to every child in the schools, to Severy worker in the factory, to every clerk in the store, to every manufacturer, merchant and banker in his business, to every farmer in the field, to every house. wife in the home, the simple principles of how to save. how to spend and how to invest money wisely.
 Miss Cranmer also said that every class of people in the country discovered that in lending their money to the govern ment to win the war safe and profitable investment is accessible to rich and poor alike They discovered how easy it is to save when saving is done systematically
 "The mature business woman," con- tinued Miss Cranmer, ''can do much to make the younger women realize that be- cause they earn money is a good reason why they should spend it wisely and in- vest some part of it safely. It creates a fund for emergencies. With accumu- lated savings a woman who has chosen a profession or business career can take advantage of business opportunities that are open to those who have capital"
 Miss Cranmer asked the women attend ing the convention to take a definite re- sponsbility upon themselves of advanc- ing the national thrift movement en-

For a long time after Mortimer had taken his departure, Jane and Marshall sat without speaking: then with a wan little smile on her face the girl looked up and met the old bookkeepers eyes

Screen Stories Scarce

Nos long ago the motion picture pro-
 ducers awakened to the fact that the
 readily available supply of stories had been depleted. In Everybodys Her bert Corey tells us that old films were pulled out of cubby holes and made over. Pictures that had been forgotten were advertised as revived master
 pieces.
 "ewe have 2ooo old films for sale,' said an agent of one of the earliest producing companies The film is worthless. of course. for it is broken and brittle. But some of the stories are worth doing over Upon examination. one producer determined that in the 2000 ribbons perhaps 900 stories were available for 1 remaking. He made verbal offer of $35,00e for the lot and the agent ac- cepted it. A check was sent, but in the meantime the agent had fallen ill His substitute at the office examined the situation. refused to be bound by i the original agreement, and returned | the check. By hawking the 200o old | film" about the street he managed to get $200.00o in cash for them. An old studio on distant lot was thrown in | by way of good measure"
