NEGROES PRAISE
 CHEST BENEFITS;
 OFFER SERVICES
Old Folks No Longer De- pendent Upon Street
 Aims, Say Officials

When the the second annual appeal of Greater Birmingham's Community Chest opens on November Is, 1t will find the trees we'll organized, accord ing to plans now being perfected at appeal headquarters, 2020 Fourth ave nue, north, where a number of commit tee meetings were held Friday and prep arations for the campaign were rapidly nearing completion. Telephone connec- tions have been established, the head quarters phone being Hemlock 24OO.
 Representatives of all classes of cit ixens are voluntarily offering their serv- ices for the appeal and among them are also many of the leading negroes ot the city, who, according to President w. Carson Adams of the Community Chest, rendered valuable services on the first appeal of the Community Chest.
 Annie M. Brown, president of the Colored Old Folks home, in long letter to the officers of the Community Chest Friday, expressed her apprecia- tion for what the Community Chest has meant during the past year to this home. The letter, in part, is as fol- lows:
 Burdens Lifted
 '"Those who have heretofore been responsible for operating the home in order to furnish shelter for the aged among us, who were but wards upon the hands of charity, feel that our burdens have been lifted by reason of the fact that we do not have to stand the re- sopnsibility, humiliate ourselves and harass individuals upon the highways, in the churches, secret orders and bus mess houses in order to collect suffl- cient fupds to ha rely sIlpply the neceS- sities of life.
 Heretofore, the Old Folks Home was not able to properly or comfortably house its inmates, to say nothing of their lack of general body comforts, such as food, clothing and heat. The Community Chest replaces with cer- tain assurance the uncertainty of the inmates maintenance and sustenance. It enables us to shelter a greater num- Der of these unfortunates, who are serv- ing indeterminate sentences for no other crime than allowing Father Time to catch them without means of sup port"
 Children Aided
 Equally appreciative is letter from Osceola Brogsdale, president of the Children's Home hospitilal (colored), who writes as follows:
 "The Community Chest has made it possible for our organization to do more effective work, and to place our agency on a firmer business basis. The time and energy used heretofore in raising funds has been used this year in visit ing the homes of defective children and mending and distributing garments to needy ones, thus making it possible for many children to remain in school"

PASTORS APPROVE
 ( O'CLOCK CLOSE
Commend Merchants Who Adopt
 M0ve-Ask Cooperation

The Protestant Pastors association of Birmingham has passed a motion heartily commenting those stores of the city which adopted the 6 o'clock closing hour and ask for the earnest considera- tion of the matter on the part of busi- ness men who have not yet fallen in line with the movement.
 It is pointed out by the pastors that practically. all the industrial plants of the district now pay their employees on either Thursday or Friday and that ample time is allowed for shopping be- fore 6 o'clock on Saturdays. {. Greater attendance on the part of working people at the regular Sunday church services would result from a city wide observance of the hour, it is claimed by the pastors association.

CHECK IS BEGUN
 OF. COUNTY VOTES
Less Than Half Of Boxes Finished Friday
 Night

Consolidation of the Jefferson coun- ty returns from Tuesdays election was begun at the courthouse Friday after noon by Probate Judge J. P. Stiles, Sheriff T. J. Shirley and the clerks of circuit court. Indications are that the task will not be finished before Monday afternoon.
 Less than half of the boxes had been checked up when the tabulating of ficials adjourned Friday evening. It was announced that no totals would be given out until the work is completed.
 The returns thus far tabulated tal- lied closely with the unofficial returns printed in The Age-Herald on Wednes- day and Thursday following the cleo tion. These returns showed that John w. Davis and all other democratic nominees made an unprecedented sweep of the county, that the three county bond issues carried, and that this coun- ty indorsed all seven of the proposed amendments to the state constitution.

Filling The Sandwich

It is claimed that one Lord Sand wich was the first to conceive the idea | of placing slice of boiled ham be- tween two slices of bread. Whoever popularized the sandwich idea was a public benefactor. Since the introduc- tion of the sandwich there have been many departures from the ham as a filler, although it still holds the lead. When making sandwiches, cut the bread thin, trim off the crust and shape as desired. Spread one slice with high grade butter, the other with the filling. Fit the slices together, cut sandwich in two and wrap each sandwich in waxed paper. Following are some tasty sand wich filings:
 Ham And Egg Club Sandwich
 Chop cold boiled ham very fine and rub smooth in a mortar. Pass the yolks of four hard-cooked eggs through sieve and add little mayonnaise dressing. Cut white bread very thin and lightly butter. On one slice spread the ham, then cover with another slice and on that spread the egg mixture with a crisp lettuce leaf between, topped by third slice of lightly buttered bread. Garnish with pickle.
 Ham And Nut Sandwich Mince finely some cold boiled ham and add to it about half the quantity of finely chopped peanuts. For each cup of ham add tablespoon of chopped celery. Mix to a paste with salad dressing and spread on thin slices of lightly buttered white bread and serve on lettuce leaf.
 Hot Ham Sandwich
 Spread thin slices of white bread with chopped cold boiled ham, over same spread little mustard and cover with another slice. Beat an egg and add one-half cup milk and in this mixture dip the sandwich. Garnish with pars- ley and pickle.
 Southern Sandwich Ter On thin slices of buttered whole wheat bread place a lettuce leaf, add thin slices of crisp bacon; spread with a little mustard and put slices together. Garnish with a radish.
 Canned peaches are preferable to use for shortcake as they retain both their color and their firmness better than fresh fruit.
