BRIGADIER ALBRIGHT

A halo of beautiful hair, flecked with silver. one of the most inter esting faces I've ever looked into, trim. neat figure, in her Salvation Army uniform. the becoming bonnet tied beneath her firm intelligent chin. and you have my impression of the new Salvation Army officer, Brig. C. Josephine Albright, who has recently come to Birmingham to as- sume charge of the work nere in this great organization
 You have only to look into the eyes of the little woman who has 1een put in charge of the Dixie division of the Salvation Army to know that you are going to love her, and to know that she is going to do things for the Salvation Army in the south that will make its work stand put more than ever as one of the greatest pieces of Humanitarian work in the world. Her sweet face, winning smile and at- tractive personality. her friendliness to all, win friends for her every where she goes.
 At the luncheon rendered her at the Tutwiler the other day, every member of the Birmingham advisory board of the Salvation Army fell in love with her, and proved 1t by prom islng their very heartiest help in the work she wants to do here.
 Thoroughly womanly, yet business like in all her dealings, she is in every sense of the word an excep- tionai woman. And this is proven by her record of success in her long career in Salvation Army work. Her rank in the army ia that of briga- dier, so she Is known officially as Brigadier Albright
 At first 1t seems odd to address this thoroughly feminine person by such a military sounding title. but as you know her better you realize that the title is well conferred and that she is thoroughly capable of taking full command of the Dixie di- vision of the army. with its more than 25 posts of the army, It's Gozens of officers in four states. And you know that her officers will give her pnquestioned, though loving, support and obedience.
 Her Life Story
 Her life story is a most interesting one and to one who knows the army and knows that promotion In It's work comes only through merit ana accomplishment, the story itself IS proof that Birmingham is indeed for tunate in having Brigadier Albright sent hero to take charge of the work Her first work with the army, after graduation from the training college at New York. was as statistfcian at national headquarters. Here she rose gradually to the head of the depart ment, where she remained for some time. She was then made private secretary to the then commender Of the army in the United States. From this place she next went to that Of assistant field secretary, where she remained for six years In 1904, she went to the New England province. comprising the New England states, as financial secretary. In 1910, she went to the Ohio-Kentucky province, with headquarters first at Cleveland and later at Pittsburg, where she oc- cupied the dual position of provincial general secretary under Col. Will liam Evans and divisional officer for the Pittsburg division. Here she re- mained until just recently. When she was made provincial general secre- tary, she was the first and only wom- an to hold that position under the Salvation Army.
 On the twelfth of May this year, Brigadier Albright came to Birming- h m to take the place as divisional commander of the Dixie division. comprising the states of Alabama, Tennessee. Mississippi and northwest Florida She Is the first woman ever appointed divisional commander by the Salvation Army in the United States and her friends within and without the army predict for her a well-deserved success in the work. Her many years of successful ex- perience in Salvation Army work, covering as 1t does so large a field 1 and so many branches of the work, have qualified her for the work she
