THIS FREEDOM TO BE

The members of the Montevallo Alumnea association and the women of the third district of Federated clubs are working zealously for the sale of A number of tickets for the picture play, Freedom" to be shown at the Temple theater.
 The manager of the theater has giv- en more than 1000 tickets to these women who are working hard to do their bit" for the million dollar drive for Alabama college, to be launched this next week throughout Alabama.
 Mrs. Scale Harris, chairman of the ticket committee has been busy with her committee sending tickets to all the club women in the district, asking that they buy at least one or more as the entire amount will go to the alumnae association to swell their fund for the drive. The tickets for each club have been placed at the public library in the city hall and those wishing more tickets may secure them from Mrs. Rucks, president of the Birmingham Alumnea association, who is chairman of the many recent activities which the former Montevallo students in this city are sponsoring.
 The picture Freedom" is made from the recent book by that name and is we'll known and needs no introduc- ing to the Birmingham readers. Those who heard Dr. Hendricks at the Five Points Methodist church review the book at one of his Sunday night meet ings will feel more keenly than many others the desire to see the picture as Dr. Hendricks made the book seem so real and worthwhile and pointed out the splendid moral side to his listen CTS. Then, too, if such a wonderful preacher felt that the boow was worth giving an evening of his valuable time to review that his congregation might reap the benefit, then surely the pie ture-going public must feel that in bringing the picture to this city it is worth while.
 The tickets must be secured through either Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Bucks or any other club women of the city to be as- sured that the proceeds will go to Ala bama college to develop many more young women along those lines which make better young womanhood for the daughters of our state.

Little Stories For Bedtime
By THORNTON W. suaa Ess

Peter Rabbit Is Mighty Uncomfortable TF ever any one was sorry for having played pranks on other folks, that
 one was Peter Rabbit. am afraid it wasn't quite the right kind of sor- row. You see, he wasn't sorry because of what had happened to Jimmy Skunk and Reddy Fox, but because ef what had happened to himself. There he was, down in the bedroom of Johnny Chuck's old house, smarting and ach- ing all over from the sharp little lances of the yellow jackets; who had driven him down there before he had had a chance to see what had happened to Reddy Fox. That was bad enough, but what troubled Peter more was the thought that he couldn't get out with. out once again facing those hot-tem- pered yellow jackets. You see, their home was right up in the hall of Johnny Chuck's old house. Peter wish ed with all his might that he had known about it before ever he thought of hiding there. z
 But wishes of that kind are about the most useless things in the world. They wouldn't help him now. He had so many aches and smarts that he didn't see how he could stand a single one more, and yet he couldn't see how he was going to get out without re- ceiving several more. All at once he had a comforting thought. He remem- bered that Johnny Chuck usually has back door. If that were the case here he would be all right. He would find out. Cautiously he poked his head out of the snug bedroom. There was the long hall down which he had come.
 And there-yes, sir, there was an- other hall! It must be the back hall. Very carefully Peter crept up it.
 Funny thought he, that l don't see any light ahead of me"
 And then he bumped his nose. Yes, sir, Peter bumped his nose against the end of that haIl. You see, it was an old house, and, like most old houses, | it was rather a tumbledown affair Anyway, the back door had been block ed with a great stone and the walls of the back hall had fallen in. There was no way out there. Sadly Peter backed out of the little bedroom. He would wait until night and perhaps then the yellow jackets would be asleep 
 and he could steal out the front way. Meanwhile he would try to get a nap and forget his aches and pains.
 Hardly had Peter curled up for that nap when he heard a voice. It sounded as if it came from a long way off, but he knew just where it came from. It came from the doorway of that old house. He knew, too, whose voice it was. It was Jimmy Skunk's voice.
 q know where you are, Peter Rab- bit" said the voice. And I know why you are hiding down there. I know, too, how it happened that l was rolled down hill in that barrel. I'm just giving you a little warning, Peter. There are a lot of very angry yellow jackets up here, as you will find out if you try to come out before dark. I'm going away now, but I'm to come back about dark to wait for you. may want to play a little joke on you to pay you back for the one you played on me-"
 This put an end to Peters hope of nap. He shivered as he thought of

nice of her to do it. 1 don't think she is very happy. although she never complains. But she is very nervous and lacks interest in things. Henry is very feeble, constant care. If he dies she will be very wealthy. That is one consolation.
 anxiously mother had planned Elaine's future with Henry; how l had been reprimanded for laughing at her be- cause she was marrying grandpa" Mother had not changed.
 After this letter I thought no more about giving away any of my legacy. I would keep it all. Some day I might need it. Elsa wrote me also that she had put hers away.
 My husband is not a rich man, not as Henry is rich. But I have all l want. I shall keep it so that if the time ever comes when he needs little extra he can have it."
 There was much more. but that was all about the money. It made me feel rather selfish, but did not alter my resolve to keep it all, every penny, for myself.

 There aren't many men like him"
 But it is mine. l am of age. What else could he do:' I knew nothing of law. She might be right. I quickly changed the sub feet. I might say something inadver- tently which she would repeat to Man vile and he might take my bank book away from me.

CHAPTER 82

CHAPTER 62 NT0W something had happened which put all else out of my mind for a day or two. A half-sister of mothers had died and had left each of us girls five thousand dollars. Of course I didn't really need the money. Manville was so rich and generous. But never had I spent a penny without accounting for it. Seldom indeed that 1 spent any at all. save for books, etc. Manville saw to placing my little legacy in the bank and brought me the book with a caption;
 Do not draw a penny of this money, Susan. You have everything you need. Leave it for nest egg
 Nest egg for what?'
 "Oh. for Anna, perhaps. But never mind about that. Do not draw any of it. If you need more than I give you ask me for it, although provide you all you need.'
 And much more than most men would" his aunt interposed.
 took the book and put it away. I cannot describe the feeling I had-the knowledge of that little legacy all my own gave me. had made no promises. As usual Manville had taken it for granted that 1 would obey him. Per haps I would. yet I did not get over the feeling of independence-the first ever had experienced-fo days. I, Susan Hyde, had something of my own ; something no one could prevent me us- ing if I desired. I took out the little thin book many times and looked at my name on the cover and inside. Then below it the date and the deposit of five thousand dollars.
 June was as delighted as I almost.
 Tt is so nice to feel you have an account all your own. Alfred insisted that I have one as soon as we were married. He said he gave it to me for selfish reasons; that it taught woman to be economical, to have it because she saved to make it grow"
 Il never have had penny of my own before
 T know all you say about Manville the same. Your husband is very gen erous. You have lovely home and beautiful clothes, fine material and all that. Because Alfred thinks thing right doesn't make it so for any one but me. you know"
 "I know all 70 usay about Manville is true. But 1, wish 1 were freer tc say what I wanted to; to go and dc as I liked. I am growing very stupid, June. One does not have ideas when never allowed to give them expression doesn't have them very long, anyway. Sometimes I think I will not endure it any longer that will tell Manville and his aunt that I am old enough to be mistress in my own house. Then my courage oozes out and I am as meek as ever"
 You are too meek. Susan. Yet I would not advise you to quarrel with either of them. You will win them over in the end You are so sweetly patient they cant help but love you and reward you some day"
 T wish I could believe that, June. I can't"
 l wondered if I ought not send mother some of my legacy. I wrote and asked and she replied. that her stepsister had also remembered her, so that she and father were very comfortable.
 Elaine almost turned her five thou sand over to us. Of course Henry is so rich she will never need it, but it was

 She had seen Marian angry before this, but not angry as she was now Yet, it was not this alone that struck terror to the girls timid soul. For the first time since Sumner had confided in her she saw what might be some of the disastrous effects of the raid on De Lisle's and of her silence regarding it.
 Last night and today she had quiet ed occasional qualms of conscience by sophistry. She had reminded herself that she had promised Marian not to talk to Sumner of her dancing. She had also promised Sumner to keep his confidence. Even when Marian's kiss had for an instant moved her to speak a word of warning, she had checked the foolish impulse with the reflection that the affair was none of her business.
 Even now, so self-centered was she that her only concern for her sisters reputation was a fear that a cloud upon it might cast it's sinister shadow on her, Lois Horton. Yes, she had sense enough to see that the results of the 
 First of all Marian would, of course, give up her job. But she would get another. She had to support the fam ily--and she appreciated that Lois could not do it. So, after all, her loss of her situation was not the worst cas- ualty that could happen. The worst would be if she, Lois, had done that which would move the man she loved to disapprove of her. He might even despise her.
 The possibility made her shudder. She flattered herself that she had play ed her cards well. But now, reflecting on Marian's wrathful outburst, she saw what other clear-eyed people might think of a sisters part in this eve ning's happenings.
 Of course other people might know nothing of it. But Harold Sumner would. He was just man and a fair one. Had she lost him forever? She certainly had if he took Marians view of her conduct.
 The only person who could prevent his taking that view was Marian her self.
 She must be brought to pity her little sister" Nothing else would quench the fires of her wrath and les sen her outraged sense of justice.
 All these thoughts coursed through Lois brain as she undressed, put on her nightgown and crawled, shivering. into bed.
 She would never be able to sleep. She knew that. She was too much frightened to close her eyes.
 She started up and crept out into the hall as Mrs. Fishers footstep sound ed on the stairs. A moment later her light tap fell on the door of James Hor- tons room. Would Marian unlock it ?

Twice he started up the long hall, but turned back. He just couldn't stand any more pains. He was mis- erable. Yes, sir, he was miserable and most uncomfortable in both body and mind.

 Meanwhile Jimmy Skunk had gone off chuckling.

DILLIE KERR was an average ID small boy and fishing was his
 -, greatest delight. He liked fish ing tackle better than tops or balls, or roller skates, and he could tell you the difference between the various flies used by fishermen without a moments's hesitation.
 As soon as the creeks in the valley where he lived were free from ice he would sneak his fishing rod out of the back shed and go off fishing. in small boy defiance of man-made rules, regula- tions and the fish and game warden.
 One Saturday morning when Billie had contrived to steal away to a sunlit stream without the knowledge of his family, a fish-hook caught in the palm of his hand. He realized that he could not get it out. He dared not pull at it, for the blood streamed freely already and the sight of it made him giddy.
 A long mile stretched between him and home, but, forgetting his beloved tackle, Billie started home, biting his lips to keep back the pain, afraid to obeyed her by stealing away to fish yet knowing that her "mother-magic" would help him.
 And it did.
 After the first exclamation of dismay, Billie's mother took the grimy, blood. stained little hand in hers and forbore to say, ''I thought I told you not to go fishing without asking permission"
 Billie's eyes were swimming in peni- tent tears and her one desire was to get the cruel barb out of his tender flesh.
 Sit down on that chair, Billie Boy" she said, "and mother will tix it."
 She got the wire-nippers from the tool-chest in the shed, then quickly pushed the hook further through the palm of Billies hand. This hurt dread fully, of course, and made his lip trem- ble and his eyes brim over. But he knew his mother would not hurt him if she could help it.
 Then, with a quick movement of the nippers, Billie's mother cut the pointed barb off the fish-hook and drew the straight end of the hook out. It was the only solution. The more one tries to wriggle a fish-hook out of a wound the more bleeding and injury to the tis- sues ensues.
 Billie's mother at once soaked his small, painful hand in water that was ns warm as he could stand it. Into the water she put few drops of car bolic acid, an excellent ontiseptic in such cases. Then she applied a large dressing of old muslin wrung from warm water, changing it several times during the day until she could see that the wound was clear. After that there was nothing to do but keep dry dress ings on the wound to protect it from dust. These precautions prevented blood poisoning andABillie's hand was better in a few days,

 whatever you choose to term the mastery of the eye over the mind, the color that looks and feels coolest in summer is white. This is an ac- cepted principle among dwellers in trop- ical countries, who put on whie linen, duck and drill as a matter of custom and as a matter of course. It is rec ognized by players of tennis, the hottest game under the sun, who wear white shirts, white socks. white duck or flan- nel trousers, whits belts and white rub ber-soled shoes. White, too, is the pre- ferred color of those who follow the sea, from the humble sailor to the naughty skipper.
 Yet, the practice of wearing white cloth hats at sports and for country and knockabout is not as prevalent as it should be.
