 To recount some of the work that has been done by the Linly Heflin unit and for which the Charity Ball will furnish means whereby the splen- did work may be continued, let's begin with the case of the pood widow; she had five young children all dependent upon her poor feeble efforts for a livelihood
 The widowed mother was absolute ly without training of any kind or description; suddenly thrown out on the world for living with absolute ly no qualifications she couldn't command lucrative position be- cause of her lack of ability; and be- sides this she was deeply in debt horrible thing to hang over her head, like the sword of Damocles- besides all the other tragedies con. fronting her.

 As MT. Cradock, the psychoanalyst says to Mrs, Hilary; AS to that. all |ages are dangerous to all people in this dangerous life we live" and as we read Miss Macaulays novel. we live through each of these dangerous ages in turn, not only because the characters are so convincing and pulsing, but because, all taken to- gether they make the sum-woman.
 And as if to symbolize the great involuntary struggle for adjustment, Rose Maccaulay gives us one of the most breath-taking episodes in mod orn fiction, one that almost ends in smash; smash, however, from which emerges happiness for the woman who sees how to steer her course to ia true goal along the route of the minimum danger

Then comes the case of the poor lit- tie mute in the Mercy Home, so pitt ful and so despairlng the unit found this little pitiful child and at once made plans to render help. The little mute was placed in the Mercy Home and just about that time another case quite similar came to mind and the second case Is also being sup ported by the Linly Heflin unit until the patient is old enough to enter the state school at Talladega.
 As if that were not enough, the Linly Heflin unit conducts at the Doll Bazar each year booth" with all sorts of wonderful things, and always registers 100 per cent in its work for this great cause. the Chill dren's Hospital

 "IN OCCUPIED BELGIUM"
 By Robert Wilmington. The, ,Cornhill Publishing Company. Publishers,

 AS the author says in the introduce ton: The reader will find in these pages no accounts of unfortunates lined up against their burning walls before a machine gun; no records of infants with bleeding wrist stumps. It is not a war book in the strict sense of the term. I have merely recorded incidents in the life of a delegate (of the commi ssion for re- lief In Belgium) who spent ten months with the Belgians, proud to have had even . small part in the work of unique organization. the memory of which will last as long as that of the war with which it Is woven, a bright strand in a dark fabric"

 New York, April 15.-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has got us all excited about our ectoplasm, which it seems everyone owns; like fingernails or adehoids. The ectoplasm is matter beaten up with ether'-the kind of ether that holds the stars together or apart, not the kind they give you at the hospital. And everybody's ectoplasm is an exact replica of the body even to the pores of the skin; leaving it pleasantly and painless ly" at death and hanging around thereafter at trance mediums el- bow, all ready to materialize at the proper signal.
 In one way these lectures which the author of Sherlock Holmes" is giving about the proof of life after death constitute great comfort. In another way it's not so good. For ex- ample, the ectoplasm Sherlock Holmes sleuthing around the next world, must be glad that when a body becomes spirit it retains even it's ,,,.

delay might serve to clear the skies. +"

savings to be expected in expenditures
for the next fiscal year and also as to
returns from the foreign debts.
