Hic IIl Lillc
 Twenty-four hours after the first announcement of the Hoover dinner to be served for the European Relief council at $100 per plate appeared in the Birmingham papers, 25 of Birmingham's patriotic citi- zens had signified their inten- tion of attending the dinner.
 With this as an indication W. J. Adams, county chairman. and Erskine Ramsay. state chairman for the coun- cil are certain that the attendent crowd at the banquet will be record one Inquiries are coming in from many of the prominent women of Bir- mingham and throughout the state and the chairmen are of the opinion that the women present will be almost equal to the number of men.
 Ministers of Birmingham and Jeffer- son county also will be prominent among those attending the banquet. At the suggestion of V. H. Hanson each congregation in the city and county will be asked to send its pastor as it's guest. The committee leaders believe that all congregations will ac- cept this suggestion and that every church in the county will be repre- scented at the banquet.
 The dinner will be served at the
 Tutwiler hotel. The menu will be
 the same as that served from the
 HnnVpr Kitchens fo the millions Of
 starving children in Europe. The
 food and the service will be do-
 mated by the hotel management
 and thus every cent of every $100
 paid for a place at the banquet
 table will be used to purchase food
 for Europe's hungry ones.

 Carroll building at 2o23 Second avenue, north, fully opened and equipped through the donations of friends of the European relief council, the work of completing the organization that Is to cover all Birmingham and Jefferson county seeking contributions for the relief fund is nearing it's close. Dis trict leaders are busy naming their team captains and as rapidly as the a 70 VI n f,yrp r. ting about selecting members for the teams of 20 workers who will make up their squads.
 Boy Scouts appeared on the scene yesterday and were busy
 running errands and helping in every way they could to facilitate the work. The new Headquarters is n busy place, but Chairman Adams declares it now is quiet compared to the effect 1t will give when the appeal gets properly under way next Monday. WOMEN TO HELP The mother instinct that dominates every woman has drawn two organiza- tions directly into the campaign to raise funds for the European relief council S appeal for money to help save the lives of starving European children.
 Mrs. James Bowron of the state conn., ' ganizations will give the proceeds from luncheons at the Young Women's Chris tian association and Business Womens s club lunch rooms to help swell the fund that Alabama is to raise. The luncheon that is to help the cause will be given on February l.
 The officers of these clubs are quite enthusiastic about the prospects for the success of these luncheons," Mrs. Bow ron declared They are urging all mem ters to attend the luncheon and to bring guests. And they are urging, too, that at this luncheon they eat all they can so that the starving little ones can eat. too. For, you see, the more the luncheon guests eat at this luncheon the more the money that comes in and the more funds there will be to turn into the general sum.
 CONTRIBUTE LOCALLY
 The Literary Digest has completed it's part of the great work of raising funds to save the lives of Europes starving children. With the entire nation either ir the midst of or preparing for the appeal for money to aid these eunfor- tunates, the big national publication has announced that it no longer is accepting donations to this cause and urges all who wish to contribute toward this fund to turn in their subscriptions to local treasurers.
 There is hardly county in any state in the union but has it's organization to raise funds for the 'save life fund" and through these organizations the Lit erary Digest urges that all contributions now be made. This publication was the first to start the. campaign to rob death of his youthful victims on the other side and the amount of money that reached the European relief council through it's columns was enormous.
 The Literary Digest says: Please send no more money direct to The Literary Digest but send all contributions to the state treasurers. No further contribu- tions will be acknowledged in the col- umns of this magazine hereafter. We urge all our readers to give the heartiest possible support to the local organization 1 now in operation and to continue the 1 most generous giving until the great {. fund is completed"
