Mrs. Thomas Stobert Chairman
 Christmas Dinner for Veterans

No sweeter or more lovely woman lives in Birmingham than Mrs Thomas T. Stobert, and no woman in this community lends her talents and her energies to worth while things more than she does, and among the many things that she is doing dur ing the busy Christmas holidays Is the work which falls upon her as chairman of the Christmas tree and dinner which the United Daughters of the Confectionery, of which she Is valued member. is giving on De- cember 2s for the United Confeder- ate Veterans of the Birmingham dis trict. Mrs. StobeEt is also first vice president of the Womans Missionary society of Highlands Methodist church.
 In speaking of the Christmas dim ner and Christmas tree for these dearly beloved remaining members of the veterans of a war which is still green in the memory of many, and who number 150 in the Birming ham district, Mrs. Stobert says:
 ''The cooperative Christmas tree and dinner which the United Daugh- ters of the Confederacy will give at the Elks' hall next Wednesday has been a labor of love with everyone of us who hold these dear old veter- ans in such loving affection.
 Tn planning this celebration for our veterans we as Daughters of the Confederacy deem it a privilege as well as a pleasure to serve them at this Yuletide season. Perhaps many are bereft of their loved ones and will feel deeply a keen sense of lone lines at this season.
 We want them to feel that our ef- forts in this entertainment are only expressions of the love we feel for them and their sorrows are our sor- rows. and their joys our joys There are about 150 veterans In Jefferson county, and we expect at leastN 100 to attend our dinner and Christmas tree
 MT. w. H. Maxim has kindly con sented to lead our music with old time songs. We expect to feature the afternoon with dancing. Possibly you may have some idea of the enor- mity of the undertakings of the United Daughters of the Confectionery when I tell you we have organiza- tions in 4S states of the union, with over 100000 women enrolled. Re- gently chapters have been organized in France and Mexico. l believe It is considered one of the largest, if not the largest women's organlza- ton in the United States.
 We feel fortunate in having the national convention of the U. D. C. to meet with us in 1922. We are ex- pecting probably 800 loyal women, who devote their time and energy to this cause. I haven't been quite so enthusiastic about my work that l have been associated with unless 1t was during the World war. when be- ing state representative for the Le Parquet du Soldat association of New York city. I had the pleasure or finding god mothers for the dear ht- tle French orphans, and the joy of receiving these beautiful and appre- clative letters from the mothers of these orphans I have complete record of all the orphans l placed.

SONS OF THE TIGRIs
From The Nations Business.


 Iraq has not got into the vocabu lary of most of us, but it is pretty sure, sooner or later, to become bet ter known in western lands; for 1t Is the name of an Arabic Kingdom which came into existence as one of the results caused by the European war In the region we know as Meso- potamia.
 In such land thoughts center about rivers. It was not unnatural for the new king in September to speak of his people as the sons of the Tigris and the Euphrates and to des- ignate British business mon as tho sons of tho Thames. The occasion was an address presented to the king by the British Chamber of Commerce in Bagdad. Figures of speech are ap- propriate in the east Trade was de- scribed as a large tree with spread ing branches, and there was refer ence to to it's relation to the pillars of peace. The king responded in kind, laying stress upon the ties of covenant between the sons of the Thames and those of the Tigris and EuphrateR
 So ancient A part of the world is clearly entitled to It's figures of speech.

WOOD MONEY. NOT ALCOHOL

From The Nations Business.
 Wood has not occurred to many of us as a substitute for gold, but a Swiss newspaper insists with logic that in many countries the substitu- ton has been made. Recalling the brilliant ante-war guaranteeing of note assets with gold deposits. the Swiss Journal remarks, "In most Eu- ropean countries the paper currency Is now based not upon gold but upon wood. The wood Is changed by busy hands into paper. from which beau tifully colored bank notes are man ufactured. Gaudy certificates, bear ing many ciphers, are the money of today, which Is being turned out
 in floods"
 When one recalls the vast forest resources of Russia, he may begin to wonder how far upward the bii lions of Russian paper money already issued may mount. Some flnancier should suggest to printing press gov ernments the superior advantages of American wampum over wood shaw ings as a handy medium of ex- cnange.
