= wETgwoETH COLLEGE NOTES =

With the old members of the fac

ProgressiEe Party, Friday evening.
The teachers assembled in the par
lors of Cooper Hall and from there
went to : the "Y' Hut where they
were served oyster cocktail. From
the 'Y" Hut they returned to Cooper
Hall where they enjoyed delicious
hot chocolate and waters. A lovely
salad course was then served in Miss

by an ice course at DR.. Cooper's
home. While there Aunt .Pattie's'

matheans. The funny-paper idea
was perfectly carried out. The invi-
tations were miniature funny-papers.
The "Y" Hut with its odd decorations
gave an inviting appearance to the
many representatives of the Comic
Section. The guests were delightful
ly entertained by scenes from the
most popular pictures while the

needless to say that the evening was
greatly enjoyed by all present.

THE WORK MUST GO ON.

The Red Cross Roll Call for 1921
will be held throughout the United
States Armistice Day to Thanksgiv-
ing.
Sometime-between those two
dates-you will be asked to pay your
dollar for membership in the world S
greatest organization for the coming
year.
Remember this: The work of the
Red Cross must go on.
The Fourth Red Cross Roll Call
is not drive.
1t is not campaign.
1t is not an effort to raise any spe-
cifie sum. The one dollar dues of
10,O00,O00 people for 1921 are pay
able; and this Roll Call is merely the
organized activity of collection.
The resources of the American
Red Cross represent the Service
Pledges Of American citizens-dol-
lar for dollar.
In hospitals there are thousands
of American boys-ex-service men,
WdIL1IlS W UO CuI0u, VI W w wi ON
enough to return to their homes
The Red Cross is working in every
one of these hospitals, trying to make
the lot of the disabled men little
easier. In every part of the United
States where the Federal Board fol
Vocational Education is training and
re-training disabled men to carr
their living, the Red Cross is work
ing in conjunction, offering the
helping hand. In hundreds of com
mittees, and in thousands of homes
the Home Service Section of the RED
Cross is giving aid to the families Of
service men and ex-service men.
The tremendous work, the worl

must continue to it's completion. Tht
work has got to go on.

LABOR MOBILITY.

A
Some labor leaders do not feel
much interested in inducing work
ers to own their own homes. They
feel that the mechanic needs to be
free at any moment SO that if bet
ter job turns up he can make the
change. Also if man is tied to his
job by owning dwelling they think
he is not so independent In his deal
ings with his employer
Fifty years ago probably two
thirds of the people owned their own
homes. Now the number of factory
workers owning homes is. not pro-
bably over to 5 per cent.
Workmen' that drift around from
place to place rarely get much chance
to rise. They do not get thorough
knowledge of any one business. Those
who own their own homes build up
substantial property representing
a good profit. The advantages OF
labor mobility are rather mythical
and many social workers believe the
cure of unrest is for workingmen to
own their own homes.

COpiah Voters Stop Road by Commits
sioners' Home as Needless.

Hazlehurst, Miss.-Chancellor ".
]. Stricken, of Jackson, came down
and heard the injunction proceedings
wherein the people of District One
prayed for a restraining order from
the court to hold up work on the
Pell road south of Hazlehurst, where
the road commissioners were about to
build a stretch of good gravelled
roads. The complainants some time
ago filed the bill in chancery court,
and the judge yesterday handed down
his decision, in which he sustained
the injunction, and thus the COM
missioners cannot move peg now
until the board of supervisors have
made announcement of other work
to be done. The injunction merely
restrains the Commissioners from
building the Pell road. The petition
ers in their bill alleged that the Pell
road was an unimportant roadway,
and that only two or three families
lived there, and that other consoli-
dated school district roads needed
gravel before this Pell road; they al
legged further that the Pell road was
about to be built merely to accommo-
date one of the road commissioners,
l. N. Ellis, who has served the dis
trict as commissioner for many years.
The court held that the said commits
sieners did not comply with the. laws
of road building in that they did
not advertise properly for bids, and
that they did not let contracts pro-
perly.
