BAPTIST WOMEN OF ANNISTON ACTIVE
i'm CHURCI'S GREAT $75N0NO00 CAMPAIGN
By PATRIOTIC PATRICIA

Admission, October 11-(Special)-T
Baptist women of Admission have en-
tered heart and soul into the task of
SURPRISING Anniston's quota in the
great $75,ooo,oo0 campaign launched by
southern Baptists.
Much of the overwhelming success of
the centennial movement in Admission
was due to the consecrated devotion
and untiring work of the Methodist wo-
men.
Admission, the Brooklyn of the SOUTH"
noted for its beautiful churches and
eonsecrated citizens is ever ready to
meet any duties connected with the
churches Notwithstanding the vast
amounts expended for Liberty bonds
and given in response to appeals in
drive after drive, gifts to missions
have been larger than ever before from
Admission churches, besides the large
amounts donated for additions to the
First Methodist, First Presbyterian
and Parker Memorial edifices. Last
year Parker Memorial led all other
Baptist churches in Alabama in gifts
to benevolences. A permanent good

<he world has ever known. A large
amount of selGshness has been swept
aside, and women will never again be
satisfied with lives of selfishness, ease
mingling the worth while things into
oufsSyes has come to stay. All of the
labor that common suffering called US
to do has been twice blessed, for those
who gave and those who received.
Women more than ever before during
the war clung to the comfort of their
religion and extended its comforts to
others During the days of anxious
waiting, when mothers, fathers and
wives sent their sons and husbands
over seas to join in the perilous strug
gle for liberty, prayer proved the great
est boon for aching hearts. 1t was
constant prayer during the month of
September that his inspired the spirit

women of Admission, who are offering
their services unreservedly for the sue

October has been set aside by the
Baptist as enlistment month for the
campaign. AS DR.. L. r. Scarborough,
the general director of the campaign
says: 1.-THE world war was won by en-
listment' At first sight you may
challenge this statement, but reflec
tion justifies it. There was the en-
listment of the various allied govern
ments. the enlistment of their men,
money, food, home loyalty and endur
ance. Enlistment won the war! So will
it be with any effort and in particular
the Baptist s75, 900 campaign. Dur
ing September there was the enlist
ment of millions of prayers and during
October there must be the enlistment
of millions of our men, women and
children as devoted workers, not only
for the various departments of the local
church, but also for the campaign"

LACKED ALL REAL GREATNESS
Attitude of William HohenzoIIern,
Stripped of Imperial Trappings,
Shows His True Character.

If William Hohenzollern had fallen
from so high to his present state less
obviously as the result of his own
acts, there would be some and even
much reluctance felt for treating him
otherwise than as the victim of cruel
fate. That, however, he is not, and
so deliberate, as well as so serious,
was his offending that he has no claim
for a closing of eyes to his crimes
no right to expect the tenderness Of
consideration he never gave.
The chances are, apparently, that he
will pass the rest of his life, not hap
PLY, indeed, but in a retirement I'M
troubled by the material cares common
to the great majority of mankind, and
it is a source of entirely legitimate
satisfaction to call attention to the
poor figure he cuts, now that he has
been stripped Of his crown, his scep-
ter and his imperial robes.
These, as a matter of fact, were
all that differentiated him from other
folk. In and since his downfall he
has shown nothing of the heroic, moth
ing of the personal courage, of the
willingness to die for cause, that have
marked so many million men in so
many armies, including his own. If
he sincerely believed his right to rule
was divine, it was the most cowardly
form of desertion for him to flee his
country the moment he feared for his
personal safety. By so doing he made
certain and immediate the ruling Of
Germany by somebody with no pre-
tense to divine authorization.
Many another royal villain has dared
to die, standing erect with face to the
foe, but this poor emperor scuttles off
into the unwelcoming Holland, and
leaves his sons and his wife to take
care Of themselves! But it is no
wonder he is most of all afraid Of his
own people. He promised them vic
tory and loot, only to rob them of
the wealth, respect and happiness they
already had in such abundant measure,
and he substituted for it all q crush

Current Heats crucibIe.

Electric furnaces in large and small
sizes which operate by passing the
current through carbon crucible are
now being made by New York COM
pany. In the smaller designs the cru
chile is about one foot long and
shaped like boat with a pouring lip
on the side. The capacity is one to
twenty pounds Of metal, and the tenn
perature ranges from 800 to 5000 de-
grees. The electrodes Of the furnace
are water cooled, and the carbon cru
chile is said to last from twenty-five
to fifty heats, depending on the metal
to be melted.
Another design of furnace is made
by the company along the same gen.
eral lines, except that the metal is
melted by heat radiated by the single
carbon electrode, and the metal lies
in a bed of magnesite. This type is
made fitting or stationary in any ca
pacity.
These furnaces may be used in
small foundries and in shops for melt
ing scrap, filings and other materials.

REMARKABLE CASE OF FEAR
