Aunt Sally’s Advice
To Beauty Seekers
W. C. D. says: ‘‘My face is freckled
the year round; nothing I try seems to
help mfich. Is there anything that will
really take off these horrid spots?”
Have you tried the treatment recom
mended to Minnie E.? I’ve known this
to remove very obstinate freckles.
Eliza B.~ asks: “What should I do
for deep lines under my eyes and across
m.v forehead?” Such lines, and all
wrinkles, are best obliterated by bath
ing affected portions in a good as
tringent .and tonic lotion,- which
strengthens and draws in the relaxed
tissue. Here’s a reliable formula: 1 ox.
powdered saxolite, V2 pt. witcli hazel;
mix and use daily until entirely re
lieved.
Minnie E.: The undue redness as well
as the pimples, may easily be removed
by using ordinary mercoltzed wax. Ap
ply nightly like cold cream and erase
mornings with warm water. .Soon
you'll have a beautifully white, clear,
xoft and velvety complexion. Mereol
iz.-d wax, sold by all druggists, is bet
dor than cosmetics for any complex
ion trouble. One ounce suffices for
Moat conditions.—Women'* Ueaim.

The crowds at the big Alabama State
Fair continue to Increase, and the turn
stiles at the big front gates of the ex
hibit grounds last night told the story
in an estimated attendance of 33,000 peo
ple. Perfect order is being kept by the
lair officials. There has been no trouble
of any kind, and today If the same kind
of went her prevails, President B. B. Bur
ton anticipates a crowd of nearly 50,000.
Some of the best races, both motorcycle
ami horse races, were held yesterday that
have ever been witnessed in the state.
In a sensational neck and neck 10-mile
dash the gritty little driver, Goudy. again
defeated the great Balke in the time of
8:29 2-5. This was the run off of the
race which was called off Saturday on
account of Balke’s accident when his
rear tire flew off and his machine was
wrecked. In the regular 10-mile, Class A,
professional motorcycle race, Balke came
back, however, and downed his rival in
the time of 8:24 2-5. The riding of both
Balke and Goudy ever since the fair be
gan is keeping the fair crowds on edge.
The men are old rivals and drive rival
machines, and they stop at nothing to beat
each other.
Frank Drives Prettily
Abe Frank, the millionaire horse owner
of Memphis, did some of the prettiest
driving yesterday ever seen on the local
track. Mr. Frank is a little, good na
tured Irishman, and has many friends in
Birmingham. Owing to a recent acci
dent in Nashville, when ho was thrown
from iiis sulky in a race and seriously
hurt, he has not been driving his horses.
He couldn't stand it any longer, however,
and got into the gamely ester day with his
pacer, Babette S., wiiming the three last
of the four heats in The 2:20 pace very
spectacularly and pulling down the stake
of $1000 in the time of 2:141<*. Mr. Frank
is an adept horseman and he won every
one of his three heats in the home stretch.
On the start off he invariably was found
second or third, and usually remained in
that position until past the third quarter.
Then he seemed to slip up ahead of the
field and nose unuer the wire about a
neck in the lead.
The second race yesterday, the 2:12 trot,
was won by Ben Greger in three straight
heats in the time of 2:13. There w’ere sev
eial horses running against Greger, who
were counted very fast, but he won the
first three heats easily and captured the
purse of $500. The races are delighting the
enormous grandstand crowds, which yes
terday was estimated at 10,000.
Gadsden People Here
Many people from Gadsden were here
yesterday in honor of Gadsden day. The
special train and the autoipobile • train
arrived during the morning, and the Gads
den badge wearers were conspicuous all
during the day. Many Anniston and Cull
man people also were on the grounds as
those towns had a special day yester
day. The baby show attracted much at
tention during the morning, and many
mothers and fathers were on hand with
their heirs, the majority of whom were
crying and making considerable noise. The
judging was completed, however, and the
awards will be announced about Satur
day.
Judge A. F. Hochwalt of Dayton, O.,
arrived yesterday and judging in the dog
show began. It wil^ be completed this
afternoon or tonight, and the dog show
will be closed Thursday, on account of
It being impossible to keep the dogs con
fined for a longer period. The dog show
is the best this year, it is claimed, ever
seen in this part of the country. There
are 105 entries, and they include all breeds
and ages. It is being given under the
auspices of the Birmingham Kennel club.
The only awards that were announced
yesterday were in the mines, minerals
and machinery departments, practically
all the other department judging having
been completed.
Among the exceptionally big events that
nre coming, is the arrival of children’s
day Friday One of the biggest crowds
ever heard of in the south is expected,
ns children’s day last year is well re
membered, there being over 5000 here at
that time.
Another herd of beef cattle is expected
to arrive this morning from Muscogee,
Okla.. and the final awards in that de
partment will probably !>e announced to
morrow night.
Much intet-est is being manifested al
ready in the football game Saturday be
tween Marion college and the Birmingham
high school. Both teams are said to be
in good shape and a very interesting
contest is expected.

'NEIL TO SPEAK HERE ON
PENSIONS FOR MOTHERS
...
Judge Henry Xeil of Chicago, father of
mothers' pensions, wires The Age-Herald
that lie will reach Birmingham today. He
gave his time and money in a successful
effort to get through the Illinois legisla
ture a bill providing compensation for
mothers. A similar bill has been enacted
into the law of is other northern states.
Judge Neil is endeavoring to stir up
southern sentiment in favor of the pro
paganda which lie represents. He comes
to Birmingham direct from Houlsville. In
a letter received today, he said:
"The system of pensioning good mothers
of dependent children is such a great
success in its operation in Illinois and
other states,” said Judge Xeil this morn
ing, "that it is , revolutionizing methods
or organized charity. The old inhuman,
worn-out method is to take children from
their mothers and send them to institu
tions at an expense,to the taxpayers of
three times what it takes to pay the
mothers to take care of their own chil
dren in their own homes.
"imprisonment is no cure for poverty.
It's too bad to have to send little chil
dren to a penal institution because their
mothers aren't able to take care of them."
The plan which he proposes to follow
in Alabama is as yet unknown.

REALTY MARKET
Hite Made $100 on Wood

Bessemer Property
That the human mind is ever on the
alert for ways to make money and that
Birmingham men never let a good chance
get by them is amply evidenced b.v the
warrantly deeds recorded In the office of
The probate judge daily. In many cases
a man buys a pieJe of property in the
morning and sells it over again it a good
profit In the afternoon of the. same day.
And the ones who resell property within
a week are legion.
Two transfers were filed yesterday
which gives a good illustration. *\\\ J.
Hite bought lot 2. in block 4, in Woodlawn
from A. T. Daffron for $150o. And the
next dead in the list was that of F. L.
Johnson buying lot 2. in Mock 4 in Wood

of $100 all in a day*.

and High Officials of Company
Had No Fart in It—Work
Done Quietly
The employes of the Tennessee Coal,
Iron and Railroad company are evi
dently unanimous in wishing the gov
ernment suit for the dissolution of the
Steel corporation dismissed. A monster
petition addressed to Mr. Underwood
has been signed and forwarded to
Washington.
It is believed that the word “mon
ster" is not an exaggeration, for the
petition was signed by 13,000 nu n. Tin
names of steel workers, blast furnace \
men, oven workers, coal miners, ore !
miners and wage workers of every |
class/ making up the whole, were
signed to the petition.
It is understood that the high offi
cials of tlie Tennessee company had no
part in the movement. The wage work
ers took the initiative and through
committees obtained the signatures.
The work was done within two weeks'
time, and it was done so quietly that
few. if any, men in the business dis
trict of Birmingham knew of it.
A petition With 13,000 names on it
was naturally bulky. It was boxed up
and forwarded to Mr. Underwood by
express. The package weighed JH
pounds.
l’orni of the Petition
The form of tlie petition follows:
"To the Hon. Oscar W. Underwood.
Member of Congress:
"We, the undersigned employes of the
Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
company, a subsidiary of tin* United
States Steel corporation, express our
earnest desire that the United States
Steel corporation shall not be dissolved.
As employes we look upon the part
ing of this subsidiary company from
the Steel corporation as being xe^y
detrimental to out* best interests and
the interests of this district.
"The liberal manner in which tin*
corporation has made expenditures in 1
this district for the improvement of i
the working and living conditions of:
its employes prompts us to urge
through this petition that it be al
lowed to continue operations under
the present organisation and particu
larly do we ask that the Tennessee
j Coal, Iron and Railroad company shall
remain as one of its subsidiaries.
Reasons lor Action
“The precautions taken for our safe
ty while at work; the systematic and
modern methods of providing pure
drinking water supplies, sanitation,
medical services and first aid under
the organized supervision of a health
department; the great improvement In
housing conditions in the company’s
mining camps and other quarters; the
thoughtfulness of the corporation in
providing facilities for education, re
creation and our welfare in general by
the establishment of first class day
schools under competent and organized
supervision with night schools for vo
cational training of employes, the erec
tion of club houses, public buildings,

deserves tin* support of prohibitionists in
that he aided in the enactment of tHe
Wehb anti-shipping hill. TTe adds that
without Mr. Underwood's assistance the
bill could never have become law.
His criticism of the Hobson attack at
Wetumpka and his deductions are con
tained in the following letter:
Editor of The Age-Herald:
There is an old adage that "whom
tin* gods would destroy they lirst
| make mad.” This seems to be strlklng
ly exemplified by the recent utterances
of Congressman Hobson regarding my
esteemed and honored friend, Mr. Un
derwood.
Up to Hie time of Underwood's an
nouncement for the Senate my choice
had leaned strongly to Hobson, largely
because of the local environments and
backing of the other candidate.
Hobson's accusations against Under
wood as the “tool of the whisky in
terests” are so utterly without foun
dation of fact as to convince me that
a man who would he so reckless in ids
aspersions is absolutely unworthy to
occupy the exalted position of United
States senator. I regwet to see that
lust for office has spoiled the force
and usefulness or Ids career. Mr.
Hobson has been on the right side, as
1 view it, so long on all matters per
taining to civic righteousness that l
hate to hoc him besmirch his escutch
eon by mud slinging against a man
whose record is spotless. Aside from this
incident, 1 am for Underwood first,
last and all the time for any office to
which he might aspire, but in order
that my host of prohibition friends
and fellow citizens may not I»p lead
astray by this foul attack of Hob
son, I wish to say that Underwood
has always been a fair and real
friend of temperance. H»* believes in
the cardinal principle of local option
and proved Id* faith by ids vote on
the Webb anti-shipping bill, which tHe
liquor interests maintained a glgunti<
lobby against. Underwood * s pressed
ids conviction that il was the most
genuine kind of local option, that the
federal government should not per
mit ono state to nullify the laws of
another, which had prohibited the sole
of intoxicants. Without Underwood's
support the Webb bill could never have
passed. While 1 do not conceive that
the question of prohibition is an Issue
in this senatorial race, no real friend
of the cause should withhold Ids vote
from Underwood on the false “bug
aboo” raised by Hobson.
There are so many vital matters to
be bandied by the Senate that Ala
bama needs the services of a wise
statesman and tried councillor.
It should be the pride and glory of
all true patriots to honor her Illus
trious son, whose career has placed
Idm upon the pinnft.de of esteem of his
countrymen all over tlds nation with
out. regard to creed or party. Yours
respectfully, JOHN W. HUILEY.

ns TOO QUICK
TO CRY FEE GRABBER
THINKS M'CORMACK
Suggests Giving Sheriff
Free Rein in Dealing With
Petty Criminals
GOOD CITIZENS
DO NOT PAY FEES
Burglar, Vagrant and Others of This
( lass Are Ones Forced to Bay
by Working Out
Sentence
\ lather unique method of stopping
the crime wave was suggested yesterday
by H. Kills Met'ormaek, vice president
and general manager of the Pratt Con
solidated Coal company. In an inter
view he said that if the sheriff was
“turned loose” after vagrants and thugs
without the newspapers yelling “fee
grabber..” for one month, the whole
trouble here would he cured. Mr. McCor
mack said that the taxpayers did not
pay the fees nor did law-abiding citi
zens. He suggested that the one who
paid the ices was the vagrant and thug
who loafed and who was arrested.
“If the sheriff is given a free rein
after vagrants, thieves and murderers
in Birmingham, he can stop tills much
di^eussi-d ciinc- wave." said Mr. McCor
mack. “I tan show Sheriff McAdory
where he can arrest over 1000 thugs,
vagrants and thieves in fess titan h>
day*. They are all over town and do
not work. They have some negro wom
eO from whom they receive food and
(hey do not pretend to work.
“The result is they want money t<»
buy whisky,x gin and poo! with, so they
burglarize houses and shoot up people.
However, if .Ylt-Adory were to start a
! campaign of this sort, he would be crit
icised by some of our alleged leading
citizens and the newspapers. He nutural
ly refrains from inviting these attacks,
which alleged that he is actuated solely
by the fee system. The point l wish
to make, however, is this. The citizens
of tills county do not pay the fees.
Tin* burglar arrested, Lite vagrant called
to turn and others of tills idle class are
tin- ones who arc forced to pay. They
work it out mi the roads.
Give Sheriff Free Rein
'I wish the sheriff would start a cam
paign and arrest every idle negro and
white man in this district. He should
do it and the good people of this com
munity would think lit* was right. Kvery
nine out of Icj rrien who are idle through
election, will he found to have a gun on
Ids person. 'That is an effe live way to
stop these* killings, of which so much
lias been said.
"I am in favor of the fee system ap
plying here to the extent that, our* offi
cers arc- paid a salary and the u amindor
of the fee s being turned into tin- c ounty
treasury. It is ..-ltainly true that some
thing must be done. Birmingham is a
inoeea for crooks and thugs. They come
here with perfect abandon, for they well
know that they will not be bothered as
long as some of our papers and c itizens
have tin ir erroneous ideas about the fee
system.”
