 good way ahead of Mobile in the mum
 ber of members they have secured to date, but that they are also good way behind Atlanta.
 1 Since the campaign opened on Ar mistice Day committees of women have been stationed on all the downtown corners in booths, in the department stores, hotels and in the banks, but still Birmingham will have to hustle to come Iup to its quota before the closing time next Thursday local officials say. A meeting of the Rainbow vet crans was held in the auditorium of the Birmingham Chamber of COm- merce at , o'clock yesterday after
 
 mittees of Rainbow veterans were appointed to aid in the drive.

 has written the following as his ex-
 periences and what he has seen of the
 activities of the American Red Cross; The writer of this article has had special intetyiews with the ex-soldier in training and hos found all vocational men to have received proper care and attention from the Red Cross in all their experiences,' says MT. Davidson. Money spent for the Red Cross hereto fore and hereafter has always and will be spent and donated for a just and righteous cause. Why not donate your , dollar and be assured from the heart that you are doing an honor to yourself, your country and your fellow man. s1BirminEham is on the map over some of her sister cities i'm all her efforts in the drives during the war and reconstruction period. and let LIS keep her on the map by giving time and money to the present Red Cross mission.
 ON THE BATTLEFIELDS '<rhe Red Cross workers were present on the battiefields. on the hospital trains, on the boats and in the hospitals i'll 1 France with the money and energy do- mated by the American people. They stood at the bedside of the wounded sol- diers incapacitated at the front and behind the line expending the money and beautiful smiles for the benefit of the wounded soldier. The Red Cross in the future, will be on the job as they were in the war and reconstruction period, and you should give your money to be put to future use as you have in the past.
 .sIn order to avert tomorrow the suf- fering it mitigated yesterday. the new health service, built around the Red Cross health center, is trying by educa- ton to kep people well rather than to cure the sick thus minimizing the spread of disease and preventing the 750,OO0 un-
 necessary deaths which occur annually from preventable diseases This service already touches 1500a communities"
