; WOMAN’S CIVIC BOARD GETS RESULTS- H
_COMMITTEE REPORTS ENCOURAGING ^
I
The woman's civic board met at council
chamber, city hall, at 10 o’clock Tuesday
morning, and most gratifying results
were reported by committees.
Through the efforts of this board an
association has been formed by the gro
cers and butchers in Birmingham, known
as "The Pure Food Association,” and al
ready many letters have been received
indorsing the movement.
Mrs. T. O. Sanders, chairman recrea
tion committee, reports through her ef
. forts at Pratt City and the co-operation
of the “Federation of Missions.” they will
1 undertake the work of placing a drinking
fountain on the Pratt City playgrounds
and securing a library at the city hall.
It was suggested that property own
ers be made to drain low vacant lots.
These places soon become breeders oL
mosquitoes and flies, and. therefore bring
disease into the district. We quote one
member of the civic board, who wisely
said: "We think too much of property !
and not enough of people.” I
By MBS. SIDNEY M. I'LLMAN
Mrs. Hard made report of Phelan park
opening next week, date to be announced
later.
A splendid report was made by Mrs. J.
W. B. Chambers of East Birmingham.
Owing to the action taken by her and
the excellent support given her by Streep
Commissioner Gafford, a ditch was
drained on Forty-second street and Tenth
avenue. This has never been done before
so early in the season, July usually being
i the month when these things are attended
to. The consequence being that that sec
! tion surrounding the Cunningham school,
instead of being the most unhealthy spot
in the city, is now entirely free of malaria.
A committee has been appointed to see
the city commissioners about putting fire
escapes on the city hall; the danger lies
in having so many women and children
in the library on the fourth floor.
MUST BE READY TO
CO-OPERATE IN WORK
In a recent pamphlet published by the
Alabama illiteracy commission the fol
lowing words occur:
“No matter how efficient the state and
county commtHsion may be, the campaign
against illiteracy will not succeed unless ii
there is In each neighborhood, not only
a teacher and school trustee, but a num
ber of other public spirited men and
women ready to co-operate and promote
the movement.”
0 Remember the slogan: ‘‘Illiteracy In Ala
bama. Let's remove It.**
WHY WOMEN SHOULD
BUY THE NEWSPAPERS
While passing the Tutwiler a fev
ago I chanced to overhear two lii
hoys having the following co
Lne hoy had just come out
Ing, and was greeted by the other^
"Say Kid, any convention going til
there?" "Xaw. nothing but ladies."
"Ladles," (in a most contemptuous voice), j
"nothing doing: they don't buy papers."
And it's true, the little newsy is the best
judge of his trade. |
Women seldom buy papers, and they
should get the habit! The newspaper is
the open door to civilization. Woman
should be alive to the great civic and !
political happenings, and she will be bet,
ter able to cope with the world and ltl I
big problems.
Tattoo Marks Indelible
“I will be thankful if you can tell
me if there is any way to remove tat
too marks. B. R.”
I have been assured that marks left
by tattooing are absolutely indelible.
They color cuticle and epidermis and
cannot be affected even by digging
into the flesh. If 1 am in error, corres
pondents will let me know what meth
ods may be depended upon to obliterate
the disfigurement.
Code of the Stamp
“Postage stamp code: Upside down
on left corner, 'I love you;’ same corner
crosswise. 'My heart is another's;'
straight up and down, ‘Good by, sweet
heart;’ upside down on right corner,
’Write r.o more;’ in center, at top, ‘Yes.’
opposite at bottom. ‘No;’ on right hand
comer, at right angle, ‘Do you love
me?’ in left hand corner, T hate you;’
top corner, at right, 'I . wish your
friendship;’ bottom corner, at left, ‘I
seek your acquaintance;’ on line with
surname, ‘Accept my love;’ the same
I upside down, same place, ‘I long to see
you;’ in middle, at right hand edge,
Write immediatley.’
“HARRY L. A.”
The above list, written in a beautiful,
clerkly hand, and evidently prepared
with intelligent care, is sent to the
Corner with the request (inclosing
stamps) that it will be forwarded to i
Mildred, whose inquiry as to the sig
nificance of postage stamps when dif
ferently disposed upon envelopes was
published weeks ago. As Mildred was
but one of the many querists whose
efforts had up to date of the arrival
of Harry L. A.’s communication re
mained unanswered, I have taken the
liberty of granting the good we owe
to him to a greater number than he
cnticipated when he took the pains to
make out the list. He will forgive us,
I am sure. Also that Mildred will be
as grateful for the favor done to her
as if nobody shared it. We have had,
first and last, at least 20 requests for
what he has supplied us.
How to Mend Celluloid
“I happened to notice an inquiry in the
Corner as to how to mend celluloid. This
is easily done and requires no cement and
no chemist. Simply wet the broken parts
with amylacetate and when it is partially
dissolved or gummy, paste together and
allow to dry and harden in position for
some hours or a day. The amylacetate is,
in no sense, a cement. It simply dissolves
the celluloid, and the partially dissolved
celluloid is its own cement. The process4
is as simple as uniting two pieces of glue
with a drop of water. Amylacetate Is in
some places known as 'banana oil,’ al
though it is not an oil and is not produced
from bananas, if it does smell like them.
“LEWIS J. K.”
Other readers have sent in recipes for
the cement, which will appear later, as
we can make room. The above is explicit
and bears the mark of the professional
chemist—unless I am mistaken in “inter
nal’’ evidence.
Nice Boys for Adoption
“I saw the notice herewith attached in
your Corner and thinking that possible
we may be of service to the one desiring
a young boy, to whom she would become
a mother, I make bold to write, inasmuch
as we have some nice boys that we can
give out for adoption in our orphange.
Will you please call her attention to this?
“W. P. F.“
The attention of the person to whom you
refer has been directed to your letter, for
which we claim respectful notice on the
part of others to whom it may be useful.
The number of homeless children is alarm
ingly large in our great cities. Homes
worthy of the name were never in so
much demand before.
Makes a Good Sewing Edge
“If any of the Cornerites who crochet
would like to make the pretty little edge
you so often find which has to he made
with a chain first, lengthwise, they will
greatly reduce the trouble of this work
by working the first row of . the edging
into a piece of tape the length required,
just *as if they were working Into the
chain. This makes a good sewing edge
and is much less work and trouble.
“HELPER.”
Our fancy workers will note this kindly
voluntary bit of Information relative to
one branch—and that just now a most
popular line—of their craft. Now, that
we are cut off from the purchase of for
eign laces, the dainty webs formed t>y the
crochet hook take the place of the heavier
laces upon which we have depended in
making up pique and other fabrics for
summer gowns.
Needs an Artificial Leg
"My brother urgently needs an artificial
leg to take the place of his worn out ono.
He wants one for the left foot, but as a
last choice could use a right leg. using
the parts to make It over for the left foot.
We feel certain that there re laid away In
an attic or elsewhere the thing to All the
great need. It must be made to At a leg
cut oft below the knee. L. I.”
I should not dare enter this singular re
quest upon our register but for the rec
ollection of four artlAcial legs secured for
us 4a as many, years In response to ap
plications from friends of the maimed
men. As the brother of the one we have
now before us says, there must -be a dis
used member laid away in some lumber
room which has served Its time and been
discarded for one of a different build, or
because the wearer has passed beyond the
need of it. Let us t

Pleasure for the Giver
"Will you please send me the address

White Cake
Earlier in the week we promised the
appearance of the tested and approved for
mula for white cake that accompanied a
contribution upon a different subject.
This is the fulfillment of the pledge:
One-half cup butter (scant), one and
> one-half cups of granulated suflhr, one
rup of cold water, three even cups of cake
flour, two rounded teaspoons of baking
powder, whites of four eggs, half tea
spoon almond, and half teaspoon of va
nilla extract. First sift flour and baking
powder together on a clean sheet of paper,
('ream butter and sugar: add all the water
and flavoring, beating it in carefully. Add
all the flour in the same careful manner.
Beat the whites and fold in. Bake in a i
14-ineh square pan. ]ce with milk mois
tened with powdered sugar, to every cup
cf which Is added one-quarter teaspoon ij
of almond extract and one tablespoon of
melted butter. M. L. C." ;
The practical housewife will agree with
me that the recipe is worth waiting for. '
Thanks are due the member for the pains,
she haB taken to tell the novice how to
put the ingredients together, a matter
that is often overlooked by experienced
cooks in training beginners.

Five Little Children j
"Please send me the address of the
reader who has a baby buggy to dispose
of. I have five little children, the young
est a few weeks old. and we have no way
of getting a buggy, so ask you to help us
out. MRS. W. P."
The solitary request for a baby buggy
which we admit per week Is today for
the youngest olive plant of a crowded
nursery. Read the overburdened mother's
brief petition, and bethink yourself of an
empty go-cart gathering duet In woodshed
or attic. It Is barbarous to keep a baby
indoors at this season, and more cruel to
force the mother to carry him abroad.
