we are ready to amuse ourselves.
1t is only people who not used to exercise
who do not like farm work because it makes them
tired.
If one is used to using ones muscles in swim
ming or in playing tennis or basket ball. one
doesn't get tired so easily working in the garden.
Hoeing and raking and wedding are all good ex-
ercise, and it's lots of fun to watch the things
grow. We love it, and so we don't mind 1t.
Two or three time week. after supper, we
walk to the village, about mile away, and some
times besides going there for the mail, we attend
a dance. But mother never permits US to stay up
after 10 o'clock.

for instance. Of knitted wool Wooden bathing
suits are best, because the wool absorbs the
moisture more quickly, and lying in the sun after
good swim, the circulation is kept up by the heat
from the wool which drys very quickly. We wear
little rubber bathing caps, and sometimes no
stockings at all.
When We are gardening we wear overalls,
which are much the best for that kind Of work,
and of course we wear large straw hats to keep
the sun cut of our eyes and usually we wear
sneakers and heavy stockings to protect our feet
and legs from brars and bushes.

report of the workers making this sur vey:
 SUGGESTIONS
 1. That the distribution of food to be supplied children under 5 years of age be intrusted to the American Re ' Cross as well as measures regulating the health and sanitation of the com munities in which they live.
 2. That the distribution of other food ana supplies should be turned over to the Salvation Army for the women and adult children.
 3. That such funds secured In the campaign, to be inaugurated, be in trusted to the care of a special com mittee selected by the members of the Birmingham clearing house under the plan best calculated to secure a wise and economical distribution of these funds
 It is suggested that these funds could be loaned to those in need Of help upon a note bearing low rate of interest (4 or 6 per cent) payable at some convenient time after the borrow CT has had time to accumulate money to make repayment.
 THE BEST WAY
 We believe that a system carefully worked out along this line would not oTly relieve many who are in actual need, but that it will at the same time remove the odium which might be felt by the manly and sensitive worker were it rlaced in the form of charity. We believe a majority of those need ing assistance would prefer some such method rather than accepting aims.
 A. We recommend that all civic or Sanizations jcin with the Chamber Of Commerce and appoint a committee to devise a plan to make a general can vass of the city and county for funds ana supplies.
 ,. Your committee would recommend that all fraternal benevolent and re- l.gious organizations be requested to make thorough and complese canvass of their respective memberships for this cause and when they have done so. transmit or turn over to the cen tral committee the result of their can Vass.
 f 6. That this central committee, con ssting of a member of each organiza- tion taking part in this campaign, be selected to have general supervision or ill matters connected with the collec tion and distribution of funds and sup rifles. Respectfully submitted,
 I. 0. SMITH, Chairman.
