THRIFT WEEK WILL
 BE OBSERVED HERE

Thrift Week." now established as an annual affair by the Young Mems Christian association, will be observed MoIIomol suIuu!Seq meqSuImIId uE and will continue throughout the week, according to w. S. Stallings, general secretary of the Central Young Mems Christian association. Plans have now been practically completed for the week, and it is expected that this year will be as satisfactory as 1920 in 1m- pressing the people of Birmingham with the necessity for conservatism in the management of their incomes.
 Thrift Week" was first started in 1920 by the national war work council of the Young Mems Christian associa- tion, and the movement was accorded the fullest support and indorsement of business men, churches, civic organiza- tons and other institutions as a direct means of checking the spirit of extrav- agance. The first Thrift Week" proved highly successful and the national or ganization of the Young Mems Chris tian associatio undetermined to con- tinue the observance of Thrift Week" each year.
 "The object of Thrift Week is to en- able people to think straight and act wisely in money matters, earning, spending, saving and investing" said MT. Stallings. During the present week thrift will be talked in the shops and factories, in schools and at many other gatherings of men.
 ''The Young Mems Christian associa- tion promotes thrift programmes throughout the year, but it reaches climax during the present week, and men and women are urged to make budget and keep accurate account of their expenditures, to have a bank ac- count carry life insurance own their own homes, make a will, share with others and pay their bills promptly"

 ID TRAIL KILLERS

Meridian Miss, January 15,-(SpeciaL) The identity of the two men who early yesterday morning forced an entrance into the home of Judge Moody Price, brutally murdering him while in his bed by the side of his wife, his head being fearfully hacked with an ax, is as much a mystery tonight as immediately fol- lowing discovery of the crime by his son-in-law, Robert Yarbrough, who was asleep up stairs when awakened by the screams of Mrs. Price before she was silenced by a blow of the murederers or tainted from fright when her husband was attacked.
 Arrests are expected to follow the de- tention today of two negro women, ac- cording to an announcement by Police Chief Monette. The women are held as material witnesses, the chief said.
 Two white men also were arrested early at York, Ala, both being held as suspects, police announced. York Ala, where the two men were ar rested, is about 30 miles from here. extradition papers today. The men, according to the police, reached York on freight train yesterday just be- fore daylight and attempted to secrete themselves in wood.
 The coroners jury investigation carried on by District Attorney Martin Miller, according to his, statement tonight, re- vealed no evidence that could, in the
 least, be considered a clue on which the authorities can work. Every rumor and report, many having gained currency since the murder, he said had been close fly investigated and the authorities are entirely in the dark.

Leghorn, January 15-Communism and socialism matched forces this afternoon at the session of the Italian socialist congress.

To observers of the proceedings there seemed to be no doubt from the begin ming of the session that there would be fought out in this congress the issue of bolshevism
 Every mention of communism and so- cialism brought cheers or protests from the respective sides
 Signor Bombacci. the president, opened the congress by slletching the history of the socialist party in fighting out preju- dices and in overcoming all obstacles.
 Our work will remain glorious her itage to all,' he said.
 Signor Bombacci then mentioned the name of Dr. Karl Leibnecht, who was killed in Berlin during the disorders of 1919, and whom he characterized as a martyr At the mention of the name there was pandemonium in the hall. The communists raised cries of ''Hurrah for communisml' which enraged the so- cialists, and there ensued fierce battle of words between the various factions throughout the hall. Tn the confusion some of the delegates stood on the benches, gesticulating and shouting until they were exhausted.
 Signor Bombacci finally was able to resume his address, which he concluded with the words: Long live the voices which come io us from the dead. from the prisons, from the exles-in which the proletariat Of all countries unite''
 There was enc test if strength this aft ernoon, though no count was taken of the vote. It came on the raising of hands on a motion by Deputy Misiano, which the congress approved, changing the sixth item on the calendar to the fourth item. This item dealt exclusively with the reports If the third internationale and the action the Italian party intends to take with regard to it.

Editorials For
Women Folks

The attorneys for Mrs. Catherine
Kaber. under arrest in Cleveland in
connection with the death of her
husband, fought hard to keep women
off the jury that will try her.
MY experience has been that
women jurors are more cold-blooded
and merciless than men. They are
less moved than men, by their emo
tions."
Those are the words Of Francis w.
Poulson, Mrs. Kaber's personal at
torney.
Does Mr.. Poulson know women?
Mr.. Poulson does.
Women, lovely feminine folk. who
according to poetical conception,
live by their emotion, have little
emotion. 1t is only the superior
woman whose emotion has any eff
feet upon her life-rather who a
any of that quality to have any eff
feet upon her life. j.
Under a sort of surface sentiment
which weeps over the hastiness of
a goodbye kiss or a half hours
hardness in keeping an engagement,
woman wears an armor of calculat-
ing indifference which spares her
the wear and tear of emotion.
k Not Effective
The ring which some trusting
man puts on her finger at Easter
and kisses both ring and f1nger-she
has no hesitation about taking off
when she goes on her summer vaca-
ton. The while. he is thinking of
that ring and believing that it is
having its part in the building of his
future happiness.
When her wedding ring goes out
Of fashion, she trotsit to the jeweler
and has it remade-little weight has
the promise she made on that first
day to never remove it."
Old Paths
And is it a woman's feet which
keep worn the paths to old trees.
fantastic with the scraggling lines
of initials?
Is it a woman who selects as a
honeymooning place a little wood
land shack, away from the crowds?
Never! New York, Atlantic City.
Chicago, a place to wear her new
clothes. and sport her new husband,
to see and to be seen-that Is her
choice.
Woman is not sentimental; she is
not emotional. Unless she is very big

all of her valuations from a calcu-
latingly personal point Of view.

Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

Fruit cocktails are an appetite
ing way to begin a meal. The tart
ness and GOODNESS is refreshing and
stimulating.
Care should be taken in planning
a meal that has its beginning in a
fruit cocktail not to repeat the same
fruit in the salad or dessert.
The cocktail may be served in
chilled glasses, in grape fruit or
orange shells or halves of canta-
loupe.
Cherry Cocktails
Twelve cherries, l teaspoon chop
ped and blanched almonds, 2 ta-
blespoons raspberry juice. 1 tea
spoon lemon juice. teaspoons
powdered sugar.
Stone and chill cherries. Sprin-
kle with chopped nuts. Mix rasp-
berry and lemon juice with sugar
and let stand till sugar is dissolved.
Pour juice over cherries in chilled
glasses and serve. The juice should
be thoroughly chilled after the SUI
gar dissolves. This recipe makes
one cocktail.
Macedonia of Fruit
Cherries, strawberries, red rasp-
berries, blackberries lemon jelly.
Use any prepared jelly. Use choice
fruit and prepare carefully. If the
fruit is tart add II cup of sugar to
the jelly when preparing it. Put a
layer Of fruit in a mold. Pour over
a little of the jelly, not enough to
float the fruit. When the jelly
begins to "set," add another layer

tinue untnl all is used. Put on ice

Cantaloupe Cocktail
If the melon is scooped out with
a ball cutter and served with the
rest of the fruit in glasses, 1t will go
further than If a half a melon us fill
ed with fruit and served to each
person. Peaches cut in dice, pine
apple banana and shreds of maras-
chino cherries are a good combina-
ton with cantaloupe. Combine the
fruit, sprinkle lightly with sugar

was put into his go-cart, and / was

On the way I encountered Edith.
She burst into an exclamation Of
wonder at Bobbie. Dot had dressed

low looked his best.

Edith exclaimed. Il haven't seen
him for a few weeks, but each time
he gets better looking"
Bobbie obliginly Showed off" to
the extent of a few words. He
seemed to take to Edith.
I'm Just crazy about kiddies,"
Edith conflded to me. She had rev.
er before said anything about this
infatuation OF hers, SO I could mere
ly murmur assent.
"I'd like to borrow him for a

much else to do. don't you think h
would lend him to me?"
"Of course she'll be glad to get
rid Of him." / replied lightly.
mo, I'm in earnest. Don't you
think Dot would let me have him?
I'd take awfully good care OF him."
Dot might consent. but I

"Why not?"
I'm afraid you'd vamp him."
'Then his father would be safe
from my wiles. I should think that
would be an argument In favor of

We walked a few steps in silence.

He'd learn"
1t was her habitual way OF re-
ferring to her husband. She eve
mentioned him except slightingly.
True, it would have been difficult to
picture George as a hero. but I did
not see the necessity of her con-
~tinually belittling him.
1t made me think that she had be-
come so fond of nagging at him that
she could not forego the pleasure
ven when he was put of her sight.
Are you going to play nursemaid

THAT depends upon how Dot
