THOUSANDS MAY
Die IN IRISH
FAMINE CRISIS
Connemara Farmers Are
Living on Seaweed
tspeoIaI 70 rhe .oaIly w0rksrl

Especial TO The ,Cdily Worker)
DUBLIN, Dec. 9.-The probability
that thousands may die Of starvation
in Ireland as a result of the croI
failure and the industrial panic was
voiced today by many prominent lead
ers in Irish public life. Much criticism
is directed at the Free State govern.
ment, which so far has ignored the
cries for help from the panic stricken
people in the famine area and in the
cities where the industrial proIetariat
are in great distress.
Peasants in Dire Straits.
The people on the west coast of Ire
land usually live in a state Of chronic
poverty. The food staple is the DO
tato, which with fish, bread and tea
is the main article Of diet. The fail
ure Of the potato crop leaves the
peasants in dire straits.
Instead Of solving the problem in
a realistic way, the government sug
gested that the inhabitants in the
famine areas be removed to richer
communities. This plan did not work
however as the people do not want to
leave their own homesteads.
The peasants in Connemara are
now living on seaweed according to
reports reaching the capital. Local
committees and charitable bodies have
completely broken down under the
strain of handling the situation.
Twenty Per Cent Unemployed.
Minister of Industry Michigan, ad.
mits that 20 per cent of the workers
are idle. Former service men are bit
ter in their criticism of the governor.
Those who aided the Free State lack
eys of the British government in
crushing the republicans are now beg
ging on the streets and starving in
garrets. I'VE saved the Free State
from the irregulars" declared one of
them" and now the Free State should
save us from distress"
But the ex-service men Of Ireland
will learn that capitalist governments
do not make virtue of gratitude.
When they are thru with their tools
they leave them on the scrap heap.
Nearly 10000 former soldiers are
voorhees,. know hundreds Of cases
in Dublin where for three days at a
time wives and children have not
tasted food" This statement was
made by an ex-service mems leader.

Beloved Woman Paid nibute By
 Y. WIG. A.

The board of managers of the Houng Women's Christian association held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, September 9, 1924. This was the first meeting, since our be- loved member, Mrs. R, S. Munger, went to the Hevenly home. As the members gathered, each one felt that the atmosphere was charged with the spirit of love and praise. Sincere love for the one who had passed to the great beyond and praise to the giver of every good and perfect gift for the gift of her beautiful life.
 Almost all of the meeting was given over to loving memories of our beloved friend. Some spoke of her as lov- CT of humanity, telling of the great things which she had done for her city her denomination and her friends. Others told of her love and sympathy for those who had ambition and
 genius, but lacking the means by which this genuis could be developed,
 and they told how her glorious heart provided the means. Others told of her influence upon the lives of many of the young people of our city and how she had inspired them to higher and better things. Still others spoke of her unfailing interest in the Young
 Women's Christian association, tell
 ing of her help in the past, when the
 association was struggling for exist ence. Also of the magnificent gifts of the past year.
 A lovely young woman spoke of her as home maker, and recalled the happy days she had spent in her home and said that "the fragrance of her
 influence would finger with her al- ways" Still another spoke of that spirit of modesty which prevailed all she did and said, handing out her love, sympathy and her gracious gifts, just as she would a, cup of cold water to . weary passer-by.
 One and all thanked God for her noble Christian life, and all are look 4dg forward to the time when we shall meet again in that fair land where the
 rainbow never fades and the stars shall be spread out before us like the islands that slumber in the bosom of the ocean.

Get Out Tn e Vote Luncheon
 By yLeague.

It is a pity that every woman, and every man, too, for that matter, did not attend the "Get-out-the-vote' luncheon yesterday, given at the Tut .wiler by the Jefferson County League of Women Voters.
 Practically every organization, civic, religious and literary, in Bir- mingham, number from clubs over Alabama and from a number of other states, were represented.
 Mrs. Brenton Fisk, president of the state League of Women Voters, pre- sided and presented plans for getting out the vote. She introduced Miss Adele Clark of Richmond, Va, chair man of the Virginia League of Wom- en Voters, who made a strong appeal to the women and men to use their every effort to get people to vote on the national election day, November 4. Miss Clark, who is an interesting per fsonage, was former Alabamian, be- ing born in Montgomery, Ala, and is an artist by profession, student of Henri and Chase. She was the first secretary of the Equal Suffrage league of Virginia and the first president of the Virginia League of Women Voters. AAAoo SidAh Wdo uppOlHtCu Oy thC 6ONN ernor of Virginia on the commission on simplification of state and local government in 1922 and was elected by the commission as its secretary.
 The .l"Woman Citizen" says of Miss Clark: Somebody has called her a statesman with a BurneNJones pro- file,' and perhaps the description is as good as any that can be given of an exceptionally gifted woman, who emI bodies in mind and manner the best traditions of the old south
 The round table discussion on How to get out the votes" afforded a great deal of interest and many intelligent and appropriate suggestions were made, on getting the women as well as the men to go to the polls in the November election and cast their votes.
 Others of prominence who were present at the luncheon were Mrs. Charles Bricken of Montgomery, vice president and former president of the league; Mrs. J. sH. Wiles of Besse- mer. with a delega tion from that or ganization Miss Zola LaForge of Montgomery and Mrs. Emmett Hild- reth and Miss Jeffries Heinrich, Miss Mollie Dowd, Mrs. J. D. McNeil, Mrs. Neal Wallace, Mrs. Solon Jacobs, Mrs. Heinrich, Mrs. Angus Taylor, Mrs. w. l.. Murdock, Miss Annie Williams, Miss Virginia B. Handley, Mrs. H. E. Pearce, Mrs. W. H. lief fries, Dr. and Mrs. Henry M. Ed monds, MT. Jack Bowron, Mr. George Huddleston, MT. O. b. Streit, Judge Hugo Black, Mrs. c. H. Ohme, R. c. Gladden., Mir. Edgar Bowron, Dr. Nor ris Newfield and number of others.
 To Mrs. W. D. Nesbitt, who was hos tess for the luncheon, Is due a great deal of the credit for the success of the affair yesterday.

Answer: Certainly you are not engaged to the man. Before a wom- an is engaged to a man he has to make her a definite open-and-shut matrimonial proposition, and this man has never asked you to be his wife.
 I should say he was trifler, and that he merely wanted some woman who would love him and flatter him, and entertain him, and whom he could monopolize without bur dening himself with her support or having to stand for any of the re- strictions of married life.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-18

Answer: I think that your sweet heart is very level-headed young person, Joseph, and that she is making no mistake in choosing you. I think that any girl who gets husband who admires her, and looks up to her, and considers her happiness before his own, is getting the very best bargain that is the the matrimonial market and that Lady Luck is her twin sister, for most men in these days seem to think that they confer a favor on a woman by marrying her, and that she should be down on her knees in gratitude to them ever after.

 To cool the oven while baking keep the door shut, put in the dam. per of the oven flue, and if the oven is still too hot, remove one of the rings of the hot plate. This will red''"e the temperature quickly without hitting cold air to the oven.
 Dark rooms bring depression of spirits, imparting sense of eonfine- ment, of isolation, of powerlessness, which is chilling to energy and vigor; but in light is good cheer. Even in a gloomy house, where walls and furni- ture are dingy and brown, you have but to take down the heavy cur tains, open the windows, let light stream in, and gloom vanishes and care and sadness flee.
 To remove mildew from clothes mix equal parts of soft soap with powdered starch, half as much com mon salt and the juice of half lem on. Spread the mixture over the mildew spots and then lay the article on the grass day and night until the sta incomes out.

But women look into a mans soul, and if that is beautiful it doesn't make any difference to them whether he looks like sheik or has won the ugly mans medal. Nor do they care, if he is intelli- gent and interesting, whether he has got vanished hair or head as bald as an egg. As for keep ing the girls love after marriage, that is a chance that every man takes on the one they marry. But it isn't hard to retain a wife's af- lection. Just be good to her and keep burning incense at her shrine and you can't lose her.
