THE GIRL OF TODAY
 EXPECTS TO MARRY!

If a girl had made a staten1nt like this years ago, she would have been frowned upon, and considered bold, despite the fact that marriage was thought to be the ultimate end of woman at that time. Some few, who happened to be ugly ducklings,'' and never had a chance, quietly and dis creetly faded away. There was no middle course open to them.
 But how different it is with the girl of today! She hopes and expects to 1narry-but, if fate should play her a scurvy trick, and there is no "hope chest" or wedding cake'' in view does she sit down and shed tears over her fate? Not much! She is up and doing, with a heart for any fate.''
 Fortunately. mothers do not mourn fully sigh over their unmarried daugh- ters of today. They are happy when they see the priceless dowry of free dom and independence that has been bestowed upon these fun-loving. sport loving workers who are determined to make the world their playground, as well as their workshop, if need be. And they are going to it, right off the bat, too. Hats off to the girls ] of today!

WAITING AN UNCERTAIN DAY.

There's no economy in putting off buying what you need. If you want what you want when you want it, by the same token you need what you need when you need it. What is the sense of cheating yourself for the sake of fooling your pocketbook? Is there any joy in sleeping under a dingy coverlet because some time in the uncertain future maybe you can buy new one a little cheaper? Is s1 greasy overcoat collar a money -mak- ing proposition for the ordinary man who wears it? Is even a weeks un- happiness for your wife or child from outworn or out-of-style clothes a thin g that when you reflect upon it you do not wish to give some common sense valuation in dollars and cents?
 Isn't it really worth a good deal to have right now that new chair or fresh paint or wall paper you have been grumbling for since ,lo, these many months? Do you want the most important portions of your gar ments mayhap to suddenly and em- barrassingly give way with the natu- ra1 collapse of an ~overstralned hope of another dollar saved?
 Isn't it estimab1e, in coefhcients of the national currency, what the pleas ure may be. at the party this very night, of appearing before the as sembled guests with the niftiest and freshest evening habiliments in the room?
 And very likely the old raincoat leaks. The toothbrush frayed close to the last.
 Of course, if person can't get what he needs he's excusable. but when he can and doesn't hes foolish There's been much talk of a buy CTS strike.' If those who need things and can get them will just sensib1y and reasonably bargaining1y go and get them, there wouldn't be "no such mile.''-Evening Mail.

MORE AUTHORITY IS WANTED BY
 AIR MINISTRY

France Boasts of an air ministry ad- ministered by Pierre F'landiu, who is an enthusiastic flyer and never misses a chance of using an airplane when called away out of Paris on some mis- sion.z But paradoXica1 as it seems, M. Flandin is in reality but a figurehead.
 He is but the subordinate of the min ister for war and the navy He can not pass any contracts with airplane firms without having the approval of his colleagues He cannot man our aerial routes in France without the approval of the minister of public work nor in the colonies without the approval of the responsible minister. No credits are given him for aeronau- tics and his budget is included in that of the minister of war.
 Thus a wide campaign has been started i'll France to insure M- F'landin take whatever measures he considers, of all the necessary authorization to necessary for the welfare of French aviation. It is pointed out here that he could be delegated to watch fly ing interests more closely instead of being commissioned to kickoff at football matches between girl teams.

INTERCHURCH ELEVEN PLAYING BIBB TODAY

The Senior Interchurch Football team left this morning in automobiles for Gen. tervllle where they will play the Ribb county High school eleven this after
 noon. The strong interchurch squad, pi- loted by "Cupid' Powell, is thus break ing into real prep football circles. ;sibb County defeated Simpson High last Sat- 1urday by to 0 score, and were them- selves defeated earlier in the season by the same score by Tuscaloosa High school
 1.-the Five Points team should nose out win today it would erase the only blot on their already enviable record of the season, they having won seven of then. eight games. They lost their return game to the Tuscaloosa High school re- serves by to 0 score on Armistice
 Day, having defeated the same team . week before 20 to 0. A win today would place them on par with Tuscaloosa High and better than most of the High schools of the state.
 Those making the trip were Holder (captain) Pool, Hogue. Cobbs, Harris, Ware. Lynch. Ard, Newton, Lep . ne. McHenry. Maxwell. Homire, Jones and Yielding.

 and stubbs will remain there. 'Nigger'
 Lawley will play end in place of Bill
 Steele, and will cause the Yellow Jack
 cts trouble if he keeps up the work
 that he has been showing in practice
 the past few days. The line is in good condition, and should put up good scrap against the Yellow Jacket sor- wards.
 If Jess Reynolds is not able to play
 Thursday. his place at quarterback will
 be taken by Lahan, who played good game there at the first of the season until he was hurt. If Reynolds does play it will be most likely at left half, and Lahan will be at quarter. If Reynolds does not play half, Buck Streit will hold forth there.

 The Yellow Jackets enter the game
 tomorrow outweighted on the line about five or six pounds. but they claim
 that they will fight the Crimson line to standstiil. The small difference in weight will not make much differ ence in the outcome of the tilt. With these two rivals tearing at each others throats tomorrow morning, U . game should rival the Alabama-A- and NJ. scrap in the evening in the spirit and football knowledge put forth. The Central grdders are determined that they shall break the Yellow Jackets
 string of victories over them, and give them a defeat like that of 1917. The Ensley gridiron warriors are just as
 determined to keep winning over the
 Crimson and keeping their claim to

Jimmy Hood now is in the hospital from injuries received in the Jefferson County game, and there is no chance for him getting in this game. Tess Reynolds is suffering from injuries re- ceived in the Bessemer-T Tiger battle, and there is only slim chanee~eor i'm getting into the Ensley contest Bill Steele is also out with injuries re- ceived in the Tiger clash. and will not be able to play Thanksgiving Day. The line will be practically the sam'
