co-American spirit must be kept alive and in rebuilding devastated France is helping America as much as she IS France. stated the speaker.
 The film, The Heritage of the Des- ert' was shown and impressed the women present in a most favorable manner. The picture was taken from real life and was.t the story of a happy family before the war and depicted the terrible struggle. The home was destroyed when bomb was dropped from German airplane.
 The large number of bombs left by the Boche in the fields of northern France and the danger of these explod- ing and killing persons who come in contact with them was shown when A small boy of the family picked one up and was injured. Throughout the pie ture the work of the American com mittee was noted, and it was through this committee that the family was re- united at the close of the war and their home rebuilt.
 Miss Morgan told of the apprecia- tion of the French people of the things America was doing for them and told story of an old man who had to walk 75 miles to the city of Paris for aid from the American committee. and how dstonlshed he was to see just what America was doing for France
 The meeting was pr esided over by Mrs. w. D. Smith president of the Drama League, who stated that since the Young Women's Christian Association had done such splendid work overseas. she thought it most fitting that Miss Annie Williams, director of the local Young Woman's Christian Association should introduce the speaker. Miss Williams in her usual charming manner told Miss Morgan how glad the women of Bir- mingham were to have the opportunity, of nearing her and she assured her that this city would do it's part in assisting devastated France.
 During the showing of the film, Mrs Paul Earle rendered a musical nro- gramme, which was an addition to the splendid picture
 Miss Morgan left yesterday afternoon at 4:20 o'clock for New Orleans
