the careful planning of these com
mittees.
Aided Alpine Boys
Mrs. Robert B. kepley reported
for the committee on cooperation
with cx-service men, stating that hel
committee was "stand- by com
mittee. This committee assisted the
Women 5 Auxiliary of the American
Legion in gathering jams and iel'
lies for the boys at the Alpine san
itarium at Christmas time, and Miss
Cott of the committee was one of
those who took these articles over.
The committee also eooperated with
the samo organization by exhibiting
articles of the Alpine boys handi-
craft at club meeting. The sum
of SlS7 was later realized from their
sale, and orders amounting to al
lnost as much more were later plac-
cd. Calls at the hospital, and as
sistanec in time of sorrow and death
has been given by this committee.
The Ncommittee also, with the as
sistanee of the club, assisted in mat
ters pertaining to the rehabilitation
OF disabled veterans.
The rental committee, as reported
by Mrs. T. H. Getbie, shows the
following receipts from rental of
the club house: Dances, S205.0o.; af-
ternoon and evening parties,
$1,000; Standard Oil Company
meetings, $4,000; Delphian club,
$4,000; rent of cards, $l.00; Chris
tian Science church, $4,000; max
ing total of $s4l.0c realized from

Mesdames 7. II. Gebbic and T..

Paris and Mrs. c. J.. Ritz, showed
remarkable results for the small sum
of $50 given to this committee to
use. Grass was sown, trees plant
ed. window boxes filled with ferns
donated by Mrs Ritz, and the
grounds cared fer. Receipt of athel
and cypress trees donated by the
Twice Told Tales section and of
palms from Mr.. and Mrs. Roger
Summer was acknowledged in this
report.
Reports. cf sections are not repro
dueed here, as they merely include
a summary of activities by these
groups, each of which has been re-
ported at the time of its occurrence.
Reports of Officers are also omitted,
as the work in each case is full

the bylaws of the club
However, it would be quite an
omission to summarize the year S
work and leave out the report of

those closely associated with Mrs.
Jacobs realize the heavy burden

competitive examination for past master of Paisley was announced Mon day, to be held March %. The term of office of R. H. Hickman, appOintee of the late President Wilson will ex- pire June 4. The civil service examin- ation will it is stated be entered by several local republicans. while the democrats are stated to view the ex- aminations as farmality, which would not result in success even if the grades were high.
 MT. Hickman vii stand the ex- imitation, although it is known that Robert Fairley, assistant postmaster will not offer for the place. Appointment of postmaster at Ensley, will, it is believed, be one of keen competition. The office pays $3,200 per annum. ~
 The. first assistant postmaster gen. eral selects the three highest. grades offered and from the three one is re- commended to the president for appoint ment. It was stated few days ago in an announcement from Washing ton that the administration was select ing from the examinations the highest one in line with the present adminis- tration, so that it would appear that Ensley is booked for a republican ap- pointee. It is understood that with the exception of Mir. Fairley who. is an avowed republican. the other employees are democrats. This would indicate that the appointment may be from an entirely new source,

 They conceive the brilliant idea of purchasing book on etiquette, but they fail to notice that the book had been published half century before, and that is contents were hopclessly out-of-date. As result they create quite a sensation at the party.

Rector Resents Musgrove Work Among Ex-Soldiers

Rev. Oscar deWolf Randolph, rector of St. Marys-on-the-High Episco- pal church, chaplain of various bodies of former soldiers, and who served throughout the war, has made public his reply to a communication from Col Bibh Graves, asking ex-soldiers to vote for l.. B. Musgrove in the coming pres idential primary. Mr. Randolph writes ::
 Dear Sir: I assume from the salu- tation of your circular letter that you, too, wore the uniform of the United States in the World war. I happen to differ from you in my views about ad- justed compensation and the commer- cializing of patriotic service. How much less, then, do you suppose I think of your effort to use your service to the country as handle for fooling some of the SO.00O. men of Alabama who served their country well in the war. into serving it poorly HOW, by casting their vote for supposed self-interest rather than vote for man who by his record, ability and character is credit to his state and nation.

SUSPECT THIEVES
 OF FIRING STORE
State Fire Marshal Makes An
 Investigation

State fire authorities have been called upon 10 investigate a blaze origi- hating in the grocery store of A. Bum pas. 1900 First avenue. East Lake, Monday morning at o'clock, after the store was entered by burglars.
 Bremen from Station 19, who an- swered the alarm, found evidence. it is said, that quantities of kerosene had been poured on the shelves and stock of the store. Damage by the fire was estimated at $25 by Capt. $. S. Dooley of Station 19.
 In the opinion of Captain Dooley the fire was evidently the work of anna teurs, who made feeble attempts to open the safe in the store and then, through spite, set fire to the goods. Entrance to the store was gained by smashing the glass in the rear door.

 Mr. Post took the role of Luigi Col fanti, teacher of music; Parks Jones, that of his son; Gerald Firing. that of John Raymond lover of Adelina Won Hagen. pupil of the elder Golfanti, taken by Miss Lucia Lee.
 The three scenes have as their set ting the studio of thc poor, big-souled Golfanti and his artist son. Adelina, distant relative of Luigi. lives with tIien.;
 The play is conored with the scheming of John Raymond to induce Adelina. his eirlhood sweetheart, to give ID her career as singer and marry him. The plot is rather q beautiful, simple enc, with theme that has a genuine and irresistible ap- peal
 It is well buiided. accurately timed and exceptionally fluent.
