FOURTH RED CROSS ! ROLL CALL ID START
Jefferson County's Quota of Thirty Thousand Members
 Expected to Be Reached

Everything is in readiness for the opening of the fourth annual Red Cross roll call tomorrow morning, and all committees will be in the field. Many attractive Red Cross posters will be placed in windows, on telegraph posts, and, in fact every available space today and tomorrow by the local Boy Scouts who have agreed to post the city.
 Booths will be stationed ill the de- partment stores, hotel lobbies. office buildings and committee of women will be in charge of them. As Armi- stice Day is a legal holiday, the banks will be closed and all women who have been assigned to booths in the various banks of the city will be stationed at
 the Tutwiler and Motion hotels and the Louisville and Nashville railroad sta- ton.
 Birmingham and Jefferson county's
 quota is S0.000 members and every ef- fort is being made by the committees to maintain the record of this city dur
 ing the war by enrolling more than this number.
 Membership fee is sl, although it is stated that memberships for any
 amount will be issued. With the ex- ception of 50 cents from every mem bership, the remainder of the money se- cured from the membership campaign will be devoted to the work of the Red
 Cross in the county in which it is raised. An extensive peace time pro- gramme has been arranged by this or- ganization.
 Officials of the Red Cross stated that
 this organiza tion is still carrying on
 it's war~'work, as a large number of soldiers wounded on the battlefields of France are still in hospitals and are
 receiving attention daily. On the other hand, they declared that many had been disabled and there were numerous calls
 for assistance from their families which
 the Red Cross was SupnlYing.

RYAN

and musicians as it is given to few laymen to know them. He was per sonally acquainted with hundreds of artists from all parts of the world. In addition to this he knew intimately most of the great actors of the old school.
 Another subject to which he devoted great attention and interest was re- ligion. He was a Roman Catholic and prided himself on his knowledge of the liturgical details and doctrinal tenets of this faith and their relation to other creeds.
 Newspaper men who served under his prime remember him probably best for his accuracy and attention to de- | tails in everything. Many of them have said that there could have been no bet ter man for a young reporter to learn under than MT. Ryan, because he was | so insistent upon accuracy and took 1 such pains with young newspaper men | to point out their mistakes and to en- courage them to become proficient. HAD WONDERFUL MEMORY His long residence in Richmond and Washington, his intimacy with Presi- uent CleVeland and the men associated with his administration, and his wide acquaintance among men and women | who had achieved greatly in their line ] of endeavor, gave MT. Ryan a store of I personal anecdote and information of | very wide range, and his memory was | of such tenacious character that he seemed able to draw upon this great l store at a moments notice.
 1 For the past four or five years his | health had been wretched and for a 1 period of more than a year he never even came to The Age Herald office
 though of course he was always on the pay roll and was regarded as a member of the staff because of his great service ! in past years. He had been constant l sufferer from asthma from early in l fancy.
 ! MT. Ryan. when his health permitted was active in various civic bodies. He was a member of the Southern club and of the Newspaper club. He was in- 1 tense1y interested in all matters per-
 taining to education and was leader | for many years in the promotion of
 music festivals and other music events
 in Birmingham.
 l Though his associates had realized
 for several years that his days of ac- i tive service were over, they will mi ss his presence and mourn his passing.

who is the favorite with the rank

THE ONE SURE WAY.

We Americans have a peculiar
fault.
There are times when we per
nit our wisdom to degenerate in
to foolishness.
For five years we have been toe
busy with prosperity to provide
against the adversely the morrow
may bring.
Millions of people today are re-
ceiving high wages who before
the war had difficulty in earning
three good meals day for them
selves and their families.
Some were wise and steadfastly
refused to be 'stampeded. They
adopted a policy Of systematic
saving, and today are living COM
fortably and have bank books laid
away.
Others, normally keen of intel
lect, succumbed to the shock OF
sudden prosperity and started the
pace. They are still hitting the
high spots.
When work became plentiful
and wages scared into the clouds,
the wise course would have been
to lay aside the surplus and ac-
cumulate good large bank ac-
count. In time they would have
been in comfortable Circumstance
es and receiving an income from
their investments.
But wisdom did not prevail.
The money Ncame easily and in
punches, and it has been going as
it came. 1t is still going, and
probably eight out of every ten
of these people are financially
about where they were five years
ago.
But even now it is not too late
to save.
Work is still plentiful and wag-
es are still high, and any one can

Have you ever noticed the num-
Der of exceptionally bright chill
dren there are in this town? The
teachers Of our public school
could tell many stories Of the out
groupings Of keen intellects that
are observed from day to day.
But they of course are uncom-
municative, as teachers should be
they never make comparisons.
1t is really worth your while to
study your children, and your
neighbors children, and all of the
children in town. Clean lives,
healthy environment and judi
cious training will accomplish
wonderful results.

more satisfactory to the goats if

If every man in this town would
pick up every old paper and piece
of debris on the streets and III the
alleys they would receive the pro-
found gratitude of every woman
in town. Soon there would be no
papers and no rubbish left to pick
up but our women would still be
grateful, even more grateful. And
who in this town isn't game in
the face of such a reward.
