Liters lure Season Opened.'
An Invitation' from Mrs.' W. I
Pierce that the literature department
be her guests turned the opening
meeting of the department into a de
lightful social affair. Evidences of
peaceful plenty as well' as plentiful
peace were seen in the passing sugar
bowl with the lid off and sandwiches
whose whiteness of - encasing bread
were only to be- equalled by the (pin
ions of the dove herself.
. The chairman, Mrs. Hugh A. Mur
rlll, outlined the year's study before
the department - In addition; to the
work of the committees described in
this column last week a number of
books which are to bo reviewed by
special assignment, at specified times
were mentioned. . A part of the list
Includes: "Historical Backgrounds of
the Great War," Atkins; "The Earth
quake," Arthur Train; "Winged War
fare," W. A. Bishop; "Young Franco
and New America," Lanux; "Khaki,"
Freeman Tllden; "American Women
and the World War." -L.M. darke;
"The Return of the Soldier." R, West;
"The Yellow Dog," H. I. Dodge; "The
Unseen Hosts and Other Plays," Per
clval Wilde. In connection with the
drama section of the program It was
proposed to have character readings
or a full-fledged play would be put on
by club talent In other years many
of the most successful literary depart
ment affairs have been drama presen
tation. Ibsen Rostand, Maeterlinck,
Shaw, of the modern school , and
many older mastfs having been pre

Arbor Say for Spring.
because of the general disturbance
of customary plans and meetings that
have so generaly disorganized the
schedule for autumn, 191S tnfluenta
has Interfered with Arbor day prep
aration that the state forester Mr,
J. 8. Holmes, the North Carolina For
estry association, of which Miss Julia
Thorns, of Asheboro, is president, and
the conservation department of the
North Carolina Federation of Wo
men's clubs. Mrs. vi. H. Jasspon,
Charlotte chairman, the agencies pro
tnoting Arbor day celebration have de-
.-ea to defer the . observance until
March. 1 V . '
Local Plans to VeW.
It had been expected that the
Charlotte observance following out a
suggestion made by the civics de
partment to the city commission
would consist -larger in planting a
sjmmmmmsmmmmmmaasmmi
t:6-;.IlA tT; At" er.t t: v.? ?t
is now I- t i.ore'aead avenue had
bea donated for this honorary
plsaUs- far the - Mecklenburg and
Charlotte men who have fallen for
freedom so recently. Some residents
on Morehead avenue demurred at the
aroDoeed term "Memorial avenue." ro
garding it - as suggestively funereal,.
The residents of another beautiful
section are greatly appealed to by ths
clan and ths name ana nave re
quested the commission to make ths
memorial planting there, which ltis
most likely the commissioners will do.
The Plasa, the beautiful, double road
way, from , the city to the Country
club. Is the avenue referred to. Mr.
H. M. Victor the, veteran Liberty loan,
driver of the county, and Mrs. Ralph
Van, Landtngham, of Red Cross
fame, are residents of the street Mr.
Victor so highly favors ths plan that
ha has sought expression of opinion
from his neighbors and baa made ths
request his enthusiastic report justi
fied that the planting be done. Mrs.
W. H. Jasspon is responsible for pro
moting the idea of memorial planting
throughout the state.
Miss Thorns In Washington.
Miss Julia A. Thorns, of Asheboro,
president of the North Carolina For
estry association, has gone to Wash
ington to again consult her physicians
there, her many -friends .will regret
to know. Last summer she was there
for protracted surgical treatment, but
It la hoped her resent mission is not
of a ff3us nature and her stay will
be short - .' r'A. .-. '-.,.
As usual, Miss Thorns is alert and
keenly interested in her work. She
expects the January'' session of the'
Forestry association, to be held. Rec
lamation and reforestation of burnt
and cut over lands will be made a
doubly Important subject since the
forced depletion of, some of our for
est wealth to meet the needs of can
tonment munitions cities, and ship
yard construction. - ,
- Recently .a; meeting was held In
Georgia to consider the problem. But
Secretary Lane, of 'the department of
Interior, was . unable to furnish the
general gpvernment's program at that
eariy aate. - .
It is expected that : the national
government will afford special oppor
tunlties for serving themselves and
their country in vthls field. State
activities to be successful must neces
sarily be In line with national policy,
much of the work already done be
ing. due to co-operation in funds and
workers with ' the nation's forestry
department. By the first of the year
the reconstruction program will no
doubt be ready for submission to
North Carolina by. Secretary Lane or
his representatives. An interesting
story of recent storms and heavy
rains was that of an army forestry
section out of world communication
In Pisgah' forest, in the lovely land
of the "Pink Beds,"-where in sum
mer the abundant crimson of the In
dian wild flower gave rise to Us garden-like
name of "The Pink Beds."
From time to time we shall learn
what of our freely offered all it has
been necessary to take to bring about
glorious victory. Finances for forest
fire protection law enforcement -will
be the first step In North Carolina's
piogram to be taken by our legisla
ture In New Year session. .
A .Tune Changed. '
The Junior Observer has taken his
readers into abundant confidence
about his anonymous correspondence;
but the group of unknown do not con
fine their letter writing to him. .We
have received many a one but never
acknowledged It in public before,

lie8 re' it , , c, or o;Heer of a!
civic bouy, c -i rarely attend a public
fathering riil.nut receiving urgent
requests to go tor some corporation,
class, or petty public nuisance; hard
lines if one is to remain wholesomely
cheerful and do a constructive work.
And yet public attention is often all
the remedy required. A good rule is
never to knock unless you are willing
to help mend; never find fault with a
condition for which you have no sug
gested e-emedy, unless it la offered as
a specific problem for specific study.
A rather happy turn was given to a
recent complaint . about dilapidated
street cars on the Elizabeth line. ; A
busy whirl of events made delay in
keeping; a promise to speak, when lo!
a new up-to-date car was put on the
line, while ' fewer people have noted
the comforts of a new street car,. it
is aeugnvui to voice the commenda
tion and appreciation of the commu
nity served; glad we, waited to praise
instead of hastened to complain.
House ' Numbers ' Must Be Sys-
tasnatlsed. - , ,;
The last fling the aldermanlo form
of government did for Charlotte was
to revise ths house numbers in such
a halt finished way that it resulted
in a complete demoralization of any
fixity or assured standard by which
strangers could locate places or even
householders have purchases dellv
ed. " One of the things army folks
havs complained about was this. Ev
erywhere the telephone . directory
kept up to date - Is a standard of
information as to the whereabouts
of the residences of well known citi
zens. The telephone people refused
to undertake a partial revision of
the house number part of their di
rectory; they would revise when -the
city ifed revised their numbering sys
tem and the changes made had as
sumed . sonfe semblance of , perma-
Unency. The result, was . that - groups
of strangers went to homes by tele
phone listing., discharged taxis to
find - themselves : upon inquiry any
where from several blocks to a
few doors removed from their , in
tended destinations. It was com
plicated and made mall delivery hard
and unsatlsfartory. Charlotte has
suffered this for two years in un
usual silent disgust, but the war Is
over, either the city should official
ly number every house In the city
and forbid the maintenance of sev
eral numbers as some have now, or
the old numbers that conform tq
the telephone directory should be re
sumed so a man and his friends
would be sure whether he had moved
two blocks out or one , and a half
mile in or the . old city homesteads
were standing undisturbed ' by war
or peace at the old stands.
Kilmer's .Peacemaker.
Under "People in the Foreground
head the death and literary work
of Joyce Kilmer formed an Inter
esting" discussion at Tuesday's litera
ture meeting. A request was made
for his. last poem, -which Mrs. Kil
mer received after the death of the
distinguished New York guardsman.
It follows: , .. j
The Peacemaker,,
The 'Slave of Liberty.
Upon his will bo , binds a radiant
' . chain. ,.': ..- ..... ...
vFor freedom's sake he is no longer
. free.
It "Is his task, the slave of liberty!
With his own blood to wipe away a

No flags are fair, if freedom's flag

' " City's Gratitude Expressed. .
, As president of the Woman's club
and chairman of the emergency, bed
committee, Mrs. Charles E. Piatt re
ceived a copy of . a resolution - of
thanks adopted by the city commis
sion. . In the letter from Mayor Mc
Ninon, which accompanied the reso
lution, lie eald: "In addition to the
expressions set out In the enclosed
resolution, which was adopted' by our
board today, I want to personally
thank you for your untiring energy
and unselfish devotion to this Im
portant work. ; ,

Special Feature of Victory Sine.
An additional feature of the victory
sing which Mrs. A. C. Orndorff is ar
ranging, ts that at the hour for ths
national, singing all over the country,
4 o'clock, all the local theaters and
moving picture houses at that hour
have the national anthem played, if
possible sung. Patriotic music will be
the thing for programs for that day
whether the music la electrically pro
duced or rendered by an artist. -
It has been estimated that in Great
Britain 20,000,000 pins sre used every
day. t
