 When the question was put to her about woman's honesty she didn't take it seriously at first merely considering it as passing observation.

which nearly every woman does because it's her nature to do so; and finally they told me that men always paid their board.
 "I'n say this," she continued, that men have good intentions, but a mans so- called pleasures, his friends, and his idea of what's a good fellow very often leave him stranded, and that is when he feels that all other debts come before his board bill On the other hand, woman will pay her board bill first, and if there's anything left she'll have good time on it. I have my first com plaint yet to make of a.woman plot pay ing her board.
 I've had some amusing experiences with men, she said, smiling. T recall especially one perfectly nice young fel- low who pawned all the books that were let in the wardrobe in his room by his predecessor, who left them with me m lieu of his luggage for his board, which couldn't take when he'd overstayed the time he'd paid for by six months, The outrageous young scamp didn't hesitate to open the wardrobe before I could get to it and get the books which were very valuable and get money on them. That is only one ofsmany instances as far as men boarders are concerned
 "There,' exclaimed to the Mere Man gleefully, "are you satisfied?' "No" he said, "a woman pays her debts because she's coward. It brands her with ignominy to be pointed out as ! one who won't pay what she owes. That the only reason she ever lets any money get loose from her.

 CHRISTMAS MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
 When the final names are recorded,
 the number of new members joining the
 Red Cross this year will be found to
 be only a few thousand less in number than the number joining last year in the
 midst of war.
 The Christmas membership drive of 1918 is therefore one of the most success
 full undertakings of the Jefferson County
 Red Cross chapter.
 Coming as it did immediately after the cessation of war, and encounter1ng the natural diminution of interest in the cause, 1t is a wonderful achievement. The allied armies wound up their great career of usefulness to this district ana
 to their country by an extra amount or work for this cause, and the Red Cross will ever be deeply grateful to every one ! of them.
 | The work of Mir, J. D. Kirkpatrick as chairman was magnificent In spite or | the indifference and lack of interest he | had to encounter, the frightful weather ! conditions and the influenza epidemic.
 he never lost heart, and was only spurred ! to work all the harder to make the kChristmas drive a success. The Jefferson county chapter thanks him sincerely for his splendid work, ana

GRAPHITE INDUSTRY DEMANDS RELIEF FROM CONDITIONS
 --
Producers Appeal to Cone gress to take Action in Their Behalf Following
 After-War Situation

Demanding protection against the inn portation of foreign graphite and relief from the serious condition the ending of-the war brought to that industry, the Graphite Producers association yesterday urged Congress to pass such legislation as will enable them to continue their business and keep out of bankruptcy.
 The officers of the association met at the offices of the Liberty Graphite com pany in the Steiner Bank building to go over the situation to advise with each other as to the measures essential to the continued prosperity of that in- dustry. President George A. Sharpe of Ashland, Secretary A. P. Conklin, and other officials and editorial managers of the Birmingham daily papers were present, the latter called by invitation It was pointed out that in 1916 only about $15o,0O0 were invested in the gra. phite industry in Alabama, which has now grown to over $3,500000, the larger investments being made at the request of the government, and that now that the war is over the government no longer needs that mineral as crucible in the manufacture of guns and munitions, the operators stand to lose their investments.
 Resolutions previously adopted by the association and forwarded to Senator un- derwood and Representative Heflin pro- vide for only temporary relief, the off cials declared, and further Legislation is necessary to the prosperity of this industry.
 It has been stated that Japanese and Ceylon graphite can be sold more sue cessfulIy in this country in competition with the native product, and the officials of the association claim that in view of the fact that shipping is available now for bringing in these foreign products Congress should enact a protective tariff.
 Another meeting will be held at an early date for the purpose of further con- sidering the matter and to prepare data

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, January 1s.-Cables this morning were again lower than due, re- flecting both the declipe here yesterday and the continued easing of the tonnage situation. Our market paid but Nto at tention to the cables. but opened higher with less liquidation in evidence and a batter demand from domestic trade in- terests. Naturally the market was ner- yous and uncertain. but at one time the improvement extended cent a pound from yesterdays low level. A better An- ouiry for export was reported at the lever prices and apparently the specuia- tive long interest has been largely elm mated. The local sentiment is still bear ish. but steadier and somewhat high- or market would seem only natural after SO sharp decline, especially as south ern markets have not as yet made up their minds to follow. Further heavy rains fell in Texas and the winter sea son is in the ground is the best in years This factor has had much to do with the relative easiness in October.-fiub- bard Bros.

 Alabama produces about 70 per cent or the graphite mined in the United States, the industry having grown from very small proportions a few years ago to one of the most important in the state. All of the graphite mines in Alabama arc located in Clay, Coosa and Chiffon coun- ties.

 The Jefferson county chapter of the Red Cross owes a large measure of its strength to members living outside the city of Birmingham. They have worked zealously and steadily. The SpringviHe unit it a shining example. Their regular dependable record is 50 pairs of socks knitted every 10 days and these socks are absolutely perfect, too. Today the captain carried out yarn for 100 pairs. If the county were all Springvilles we could soon dispose of the 5000 pairs yet undone on our old pledge. Units which have proved their ability to turn in pro- duets conforming correctly to directions are no longer limited as to the quantity they may carry on one trip.

ADJUSTMENTS
"Trail of the Lonesome Pine"

As rapid development is demanded in the modern play, Eugene Walter has fate and fortune lay heavy upon the hero in his dramatiZation of John FOX, Jr's~ widely read story, ''The Trail of the Lonesome Pine.' Hale's partner warns him against falling in love with the mountain girl; he is told his friends will not receive her and that her kinsfollS will drive him from the country, perhaps kill him if he breaks June's heart.
 There are lot of comedy touches to tighten June,s particular scenes in the play. June flashes for moment as a modern we'll gowned woman. and the next moment she discards her attire and-fles to the mountain cabin in her homespun. Louise Price portrays June as one of the most lovable stage char acters ever written. The play comes to the Jefferson Friday and Saturday, matinee Saturday, of this week.

At Loew's BijOu

Magicians as a class are among the cleverest performers gracing the stage, many of them in fact devoting as much time to perfecting their flow of humor- ous batter as they do to then feats of legerdemain. Among them all there isl none who surpasses Rosini,, the famous magician and illusionist, who taps the bill at Loews Bi5ou for the last part of this week. This yconsummate artist with the able assistance of two pretty young women, offers an act replete with surprises. He proves once more the truth of the time worn adage, "the hand is quicker than the eye,' and with all his illusions are marvels of beauty and mystery. The entire act bears the trade mark of "class."
 Another good act or the programme that of Billie Baskette and Dan O'Neil offering popular melodies or the past and present Billie Baskette is famous song writer. and has gone into vaude- vile for a very short period.

TAKE OATH ON SACRED BOOKS
Practice In Vogue Today Has Como
Down Through Centuries With
Very Few Changes.

The Christian oath on copy of the
Gospel seems derived from the late
Jewish oath taken holding in the hand
the scrool Of the law Cor the phylac-
teries). a ceremony itself possibly
adapted from the Roman custom. The
usual mode was to lay the hand on
the Gospel, and it was kept up to a
modern date in the oath Of the Uni
versity Of Oxford. The practice of
kissing the book, which became so
we'll established in England, appears
In the Middle Ages. The book was
often laid on the altar, or (after the
manner of ancient Rome) the swear
er laid his hand on the altar itself or
looked toward it, above all, 1t became
customary to touch the relics of saints
on the altar. Other objects, as the
cross. the bishops crozier, etc., were
sworn by. An oath ratified by con-
tact or inspection of a sacred object
was called a corporal or bodily oath,
as distinguished from a merely spo-
ken or written oath. The English
word signifying the sacred object" on
which the oath Is taken is "halidome."
The "halidOme" on which oaths are
sworn In England is copy of the
New Testament. Jews are sworn on
the Old Testament; the sacred books
Of other religions are used in like
manner. a Mohammedan swearing on
the Koran, a Hindu on the Vedas.
