' The prices are within the reach- of those with a modest pocket book. The meals are fine, well cooked and appetizingly served. Over one hundred girls have been received as members. The executive committee, of which Miss Mary Worth is chairman, met for supper and a short business meeting auerward on Wednesday evening and received the weekly report of Miss Le ctin, which was accepted as favora ble.

The letter is full of references to the poor people who daily apply to the nurses at the hospitals : for help; and many little touching incidents are recounted, everyday happenings in the lives of these impoverished people, andl to wnom a pair of shoes or an-extra garment is an unexpected luxury, and who are so grateful and who hope for so much through the entry of the Unit ed States into the war. Better Babies Contest. There were twenty-five entries in the Better Babies Contest held at Ma sonboro, practically all of the babies in tne community. The entries includ ed children from six months to five years of age, classification being made according to age. Though nearly ev ery child made an exceedingly good score, the following but one scored over 90: Division 6 to 12 months, inclusive Lucy Cochran, William Julius Farrow. Second division, 13 to. 24 months Dorothy Margaret Farrow, Agnes Mac Rae Peschau, Herbert Edward Steljes. Third division, 25 to 36 months Mary Elizabeth Simmons, Herman Farrow. Fourth division. 37 to 48 months old Lillie Louise Pepper, Joe Raymond Benton. Fifth division, 49 to 60 months Mary Lee Farrar, Samuel Farrow, xJr. The contest was conducted according to rules sent out by the Woman's Home Companion, and diplomas and a medal, also a certificate for each child exam ined. Agnts MacRae Peschau won the medal, making the highest score of any baby examined.. The physicians who kindly gave their services were Drs. Sidbury, Robertson and Bolles.' They were assisted in the examinations by Mrs. Hanna and Miss Cazaux. As chairman of the scoring committee Mrs. J. Van Buren Sidbury gave Ines timable assistance. Sidelights From Red Cross. Friday morning was another busy period for the workers in the Red Cross. The usual large number were present in their places in work rooms of the Murchison building. The needs of the soldiers is being particularly driven home to the women, now that the militia is under orders and mobil ization has begun in earnest. To a thoughtful observer, it was very no ticeable that among the women pres ent, so many would be directly affect ed by the war and so many had sons and relatives who would in all proba bility be on the "firing line" in a short while. Red Cross work is no longer a-vague thing, or supplies for men in another country. Red Cross supplies will now go for the men from America, our own, our very own the loved ones who have been a very part of our ex istence, those who have made life worth living for us. Can any woman doubt her duty from now on? If there are no sons or rela tives in your homt to leave, your neighbors' sons relatives and loved ones need you rhelp and the work of your hands to add to their comfort in the dark days that are to come, when home and all that makes it worth liv ing will be left behind. Will you not join forces and make your influence felt, will you not give of yourself, which is after all the best that you can give, to increase the supplies of the Red Cross, to alleviate the suffer ing and perhaps save the lives of the many who are about to yield up the dearest thing, life itself, in order that liberty may be preserved? Another Organization Added.' Mrs. Cuthbert Martin reported to the woTkers- another chanter organiz ed, and gave an account of her trip and the meeting at Acme last week She was met by a delegation from five adjoining towns, including St. Helena Northwest, on her arrival at Acme, and was the girest of Mr. Herbert Smith upon whose invitation she went to Acme to organize a Red Cross chapter The meeting was held in the Pythian Hall and the speaker of .the evening was Maj. J. W. Little, who was pre sented to the audience by Mr. Smith Services were conducted by the lodge, At the close of the program, Amer lea was sung and the audience turned over to Mrs. Martin for organization The entire number present became members of the Red Cross, making about 75 charter members. They were most enthusiastic, and all that was needed were instructions necessary to begin work. Two donations of $5 were made by Mr. Smith and Mr. Mitchell and other contributions poured in ranging from one to ten dollars. In eluding half of the dues to be retained by the local chapter, they will have a fund of about J150 with which to start work. Samples will be loaned by the Wilmington chapter for them to go by, and work will begin at once. It is not confined to Acme, but it is a neighbor hood or community organization many small villages taking an active part in its affairs. There are now 5,000,000 memjbers in the Red Cross or the unitea states, the number at the beginning of the war being 300,000. In Germany at the beginning of the war there were 1,000.000 members and the efficiency of that organization had much to do with the success of that country in waging war. If the Amer ican Red Cross continues, and it will it will have a great part in wlnmn the war for the Allies. That agitation against the use. of wooden shingles is spreading over the country with more determined inter est since the great Atlanta conflagra tion is evidenced by the fact that only recently the Asheville city commission ers have passed an ordinance prohib iting the use of wooden shingles - in the city, so regulated that within nine RED CROSS NEWS years the city will be : entirely . eliml fiated from the cause that has produced J one of us, who . has undertaken to do 1 It -is one of."thje.' blessed N factions of the Red Cross .to; open- the "hearts of tha people and . . bring frth the generous response in moneys materials and ser vices by whlch'alone the distressed can be succored.'

SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES so many disastrous fires and loss of lives. ." - - When the matter came before the commissioners at Asheville there was strong opposition from the Western Carolina Lumber and Timber Aasnria- Kion, citing that the shingle roof was tne -ppor 'man's roof"; that shingles could be made just as fire-proof as any other material and that Asheville was the hardwood capital of the South from which the city derived the larger, part of its income. In spite of this, evidently led by the great danger of a repetition of the disastrous fires of wither .cities caused from the use of shingle roofs, the commissioners went on record by passing the ordinance that in time, all other leading cities will necessarily pass, it is declared. ine iollowing warning sent out by Order Hot Supper Rolls.

His report, which has' been eagerly awaited in technical Ircles, has just been published for limited free circulation. Its great value consists in the fact that the At lanta conflagration should serve as a warning to hundreds of other Ameri can cities where conflagration condi tions now exist. The report finds that the' Atlanta disaster was essentially a 'shingle roof conflagration of the familiar type; it notes that the fire department ren dered excellent service, although some what handicapped by lack of motor ap paratus, insufficient reserve supply of hose, and. unpaved streets at certain points; It refers to the value of 'high pressures' on the water system, com mends the assistance rendered by mil itary organizations, questions the util ity of the dynamiting of buildings, and records the fact that some of the hose sent from near-by cities could not be used through lack of standardiz ed couplings. The report's greatest emphasis, however, is laid upon bad roofing conditions, which are summed up in the following statement : Effect of Wooden Shingle Roofs. "This conflagration, together with two of the other fires occurring at the same time, emphasizes the ease with which spreading fires may develop in cities where wooden shingle roofs pre dominate, even when the fire depart ment is mainly well equippd and man ned. It illustrates the startling sud denness with which such a fire may i grow into a conflagration under favor able conditions. "For a period of eight hours, the re maining part of the city, Including the business district, was practically with out fire protection. A shift of the wind during the progress of the fire would have resulted in a corresponding change in the path pf devastation, and might have invftlved the business dis trict where the high values of the city exist; for it would have been impossi ble to stop the spread through the shlngle-roof area, which even now ex tends to the edge of that district.' "As already stated, the chief value of such'an analysis consists in the pos sibility of its application to other cit ies. Ten years ago, the United States Geological Survey, after an exhaustive study, made this statement: , " 'The danger of conflagration is present in every city and village of the United States, and with it the possi bility of large loss of life. The most efficient fire department in the coun try is powerless when once a fire gets under considerable headway In a lo cality where bad construction pre vails.' "This statement is largely true to day. A few cities have taken steps to reduce their hazard, but the vast ma jority are heedlessly waiting for Jheir own conflagrations to occur. Confla grations are not necessary evils. They may be avoided by the mere taking of proper precautions. National Board en gineers have made exhaustive surveys of more than three hundred leading American cities, and In each case have worked out plans which, if adopted, would provide for their safety. Their report on San Francisco conditions. published six months before the great conflagration contained tnese woras: . " 'San Francisco has violated all un derwriting traditions and precedents by not burning up.' "Similarly, National Board reports contained specific warnings of the dis asters of Salem, Cheslea, Augusta, At lanta, and many other cities. Special attention was called to Pittsburgh'; most dangerous block eighteen months before the January. 1917, fire which de stroyed it. Five and a half months before the January, 1917, fire in Hart ford, its exact site was specifically pointed out upon the map of the Na tlonal Board report. similar iuini ments have occurred in dozens of oth er cases. They are sure to occur in cnun tless cases in th future, until American municipalities learn to take advantage of the expensive lessons of their stricken sister cities. "No one can tell where the next great conflagration will occur, but it is safe to prophesy that it will take place in a negligent city.

Owing to a lack of Interest, due presumably to the war, the election to have been held on Tuesday, July 31, to vote on a bond issue and special tax for a farm life school for umberland county, has been indefinitely postponed by .request of the county board of education. Only 99 voters registered for the election in Fayetteville, and the town, of course, was counted on to carry the day in the balloting. The war and the camp situation had monopolized the public's attention so completely that it was thought best to call he elecion off, for the present at least. Tli Death of a Hero.
