Christian Church.

The last two Sundays have been
important days in the history of the
church and next Sunday will be still
more important. The pastors theme
will be for the morning service, "The
Survey of the Past and Future Year
After the sermon the church will have
an election of officers for the year
to come. In order that the meeting
may not be held too late the preach
ing services will begin at 1880 o'clock
Therefore, only thirty minutes will be
devoted to the Sunday school. The
Sunday evening theme will be in keep
ing with the topic for the week
prayer. The church will gladly parti-
cipate in the union services for the
week of prayer following. Of course
the children can not come next Sun
day on account of the ban, but why
should not every adult member be
present? Start the new year right
by spending the first Sunday in going
to church. Start in the first Sunday,
get the habit, and come to every ser
vice every Sunday in the year 1920.
Come thou with US and we will do
thee good. H. McSparran, pastor.

There are $35 and $40 and $50 a
week secretaries in this company, and
women executives who have come up
from the ranks and are earning from
$1,000 to $4,000 a year, but they are
women who know how>to spell, who
are trained, efficient and are not
afraid to work-who are, in fact,
rather fond of their work. There are
men in the same company who started
in at anything and for anything they
could get, who are making from $4,000
to $4,000 a year, but they worked
hard to fit themselves for the better
jobs.
When a showdown and shakedown
come it will be the incompetents who
will go hungry first and stay hungry

untitled for work, it is the stay-at-
homes, including mob Of this half
grown, half-baked and wholly incom-
petent labor, thinking in terms of the
undeserved and unearned wages that
they received under stress of condi-
lions that obtained when million
he-men went out to fight, and not the
soldier, who are the reconstruction
problem. With only the normal ex-
ceptions to be found in any large body
of men the soldier is settling right
down to business and keeping an eye
on the would-be disturbers Of the
peace.
The old breed Of Americans were
seasoned oak and hickory. They learn
ed in long hard school, and they
stood up under fire and lasted under
strain. There is big admixture OF
the kiln dried in the present genera
tion and judging by. the experience OF
the employment manager-and it is
fairly typical-the coming generation
runs strongly to sapwood.

These experiences of the employ
ment manager simply indicate the be
ginning of the trail. Follow i
through your neighborhood and into
your own house and you will have
fairly comprehensive idea of the first
and most pressing problems of recon
struction.
Too many youngsters want to begir
at the top, to cut out all the inter
mediate steps; too many grownups
want to make five years profits in
one. The boy wants the good job
without learning the poorer one; ne
demands the wages of skill for his
capital of ignorance. The young girl
wants to be the confidential secretary
of the boss before she has learned how
to spell; she expects to draw down the
pay of experience while still a blund-
ering amateur.
Many young men are slow to marry
because they do not care to share
with anyone, least of all a wife. Many
young women do not care to marry
unless they can start in where their
mothers left off, and have suit
able establishment" They do not
want to work for anyone, least of all
a husband. But what can we expect
so long as their elders, and presum-
betters, set them an exam
pie of grab, of ignoble ambitions, OF
competitive living? Reconstruction
for them must come from above, by
precept and example, from parents
and employers; but the precept that
one hears oftenest is, "Get it while
the getting is good"

The Best Cough Medicine.

When a-druggist finds that his GUS
toners all speak well of a certain pre-
paration, he forms good opinion of
it and when in need of such medi-
cine is almost certain to use it him
self and in his family. This is why
SO many druggists use and recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. J.
B. Jones, well known druggist of
Cubrun, KY, says, 81 have used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in my
family for the past seven years, and
have found it to be the best cough

RED CROSS ACTIVE
IN DISASTER RELIEF

When disaster hits a community
Gre, food, earthquake, explosion, bad
wreck or tornadO-the American Red
Cross can be depended upon TO follow
right at its heels with help for the
stricken people Red Cross relief Is
almost Immediately fOrthcOming-fOod,
clothing, shelter and funds; doctors.
nurses and special workers with long
experience in handling similar trouble
elsewhere.
During the last year, eAIing June 80
there was an average OF four disasters
a month in the United States. One
hundred and fifty communities in
twenty seven states suffered. The
largest and most destructive Of these
were the tidal wave at Corpus Christi,
Texas, and tornadOes in Mississippi.
Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois.
In these events of horror $50 per-
sons were killed, 1,500 were injured,
1900 were made homeless, about 3d.,
600 families needed help. So property
loss was nearly $1000O0,0cS and al
most 81, 0OO000 in relief funds, not in
Guiding emergency supplies was ex
pended.
To the sufferers from all disasters
during the year, the American Red
Cross sent $4,000 worth of sup
plies, 10 Red Cross nurses and seven
special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken, the organization
set up ten relief stations, operated
thirty food canteens and as many
emergency hospitals. One hundred
and twenty-five Red Cross chapters
gave disaster relief service.
If disaster ever strikes this town or
county, the citizens can be absolutely
sure the Red Cross will be right on
hand to help them in every way.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, large proportion Of the 10000,
600 population of the Balkan States
might have starvee or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food. clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations In Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth OF food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion OF Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to help in the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer
itcan tractors and other farming nipple
ments have been sent to the agrtcul-
tural regions where aid has been CIV
en- in blowing the land.
By the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad-
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. By that time, 1t
is believed, the people will have ap-
preached a normal state OF living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped set
up to provide for themselves.

DOG LICENSES
Payment of License Far Behind, Says COllector-Penalties for Delinquents

Payment of state dog licenses are far behind the record of last year, accord- ing to an announcement made by F. T. Beasley of the circuit court, who has charge of the issuance of the state li- censes. Last year approximately 12.U9 dog, tags were issued. according to the records at the office, but up to the pres ent time only 2.eS2 tags have been sold for male dogs and 1,o57 for females.
 Although all dog licenses were due last year during the month of October, be- coming delinquent on November 1, the time limit has been extended by the state tax commission until the last day or December. On January l, 1921, penalties will go into effect and the price of the licenses will be doubled. which win make them s2.25 for males and s4.25 for females In addition. the dog without 1921 tas is liable to be shot by any deputy sheriff or constable on sight

 ID HAVE FLOOR AT
 ALLIED BANQUET
Reception and Dinner of "Allied Armies" at TutwiIer Tonight. Secret Programme Is
 Arranged

Everyone attending the re- ception and dinner to be given by the allied armies at the Tut wiler tonight is urged to be present at 6 80 o'clock. The hour for the event had been previous ly announced through error at 8:30 o'clock.
 Reservations are coming in rapidly but there are still large number of mem bers of the various branches of the armies who have not made a reservation. It IS announced that tickets can be secured by telephoning Clarence Lloyd at the South eYn club or the secretaries of the Rotary, kiwanis or the Civitan clubs. Members of the labor army or the industrial army are requested to make their reservations with any of the aforementioned. or by telephoning John R. T. Rives. commander of the labor army, or Dr. Percy H. Wood- all, commander of the industrial army.
 To all those whom it is inconvenient to secure their tickets during the day, it is announced that they will be held for them and distributed at the door when they arrive at the ballroom tonight
 Added interest was given the prepara- tions for the reception and dinner by the announcement yesterday that the Bir- mingham post of the American Legion had accepted the invitation of the all lied armies to have a delegation present as the guests of the army. It was stated that 10 members of the legion, accom- panied by ladies, would attend.
 More or less secrecy still is maintained regarding the exact details of the enter tainment programme which the commit tee has worked out. Enough has been given out, however, to let every one know that rare treat is in store for all those who attend. Several novel fea- lures will be presenteds and it is an nounced that some of the stunts" will be highly humorous, as well as decidedly erifying, regarding the life and habits of scme of BirIningham's first citizens"
 The fact that most of the members Of the armies will be accompanied by ladies has added interest to the evening. The musical programme will be an elaborate one with an orchestra as well as puna- Der of vocal selections.
 The contract for the decorations was let Saturday, and they will be put in place during the day. The event promises to be one of the most elaborate and pleas ant functions of it's kind since the days of the war It will be the first real re- union the members of the armies have held since the arnstice was signed.

WIDE PUBLICITY FROM BALLOON RACE Daring Exploit of Naval Con- testants Depicted In Cur
 rent Periodical

Birmingham is still getting wide rdblicity from the recent balloon races which started from here, as is evil denced by 8 picture appearing on the cover of the Scientific American of current issue depicting the spectacu- lar flight of Licutenants Emerson and Sloman of the United States navy after they had cut their basket away in ,r- der to remain in the air.
 The two lieutenants were pilot and aide, respectively, of the navy bal Icon which entered the national bal loon race, which left the North Bir- mingham field September 25.
 The following article in the same issue of the Scientific American tells CT the daring exploit of the naval con- testants:
 The national balloon race. which started from North Birmingham. Ala, on September 25, brought out a spectacular feat which we be- neve gives the lie to the assertion that there is nothing new under the sun.
 One of the competing balloons, manned by l.ieutenants Emerson and Solman of the United States navy in passing over Kentucky, was forced to do good desl O. vertical dadging of thunderstorIns it's maneuvers including twoland- ings. As result so much gas was lost out of the bag that if lacked sufficient lifting power to stay in the race under the usual conditions.
 The two lieutenants met this situation by cutting away the pilots basket, and taking the air again, singing to the balloon rig ging above the concentration ring As if this stunt were not in itself sufficiently perilous, the ingenious ballooners ran into further storms in the Lake Erie region, of such intensity IS to render a final land- ing imperative. In order to effect this landing they had to slit the fabric of the balloon
 They finally came down in an Ohio hay field. after a flight of 37 hours and l minute of which 13 hours was without basket The distance covered from the starting point was 590 miles, and the extraordinary means employed to stay in the race resulted in the capture Of third place by the dar- Ing fmproviSators. It may be re- marked further that the final land- ing was made without injury to the operators or the remaining equipment. We hope that this stunt will not become standard practice, but in any event we fee, that it we'll merits the place that We have given it on the cover this
