 l The bill will be In the hands of Col. l John w Tomlinson and Roy Mccullough, attorneys for the plaintiff, who have been | her attorneys in the other legal actions | she has started against the Sloss com pany.
 The bill sets out that Mrs Mclaughlin | owns six blocks of real estate directly adjoining the Sloss premises and that up- on her property her residence has been built On the blocks she rents AS houses | she owns, and obnoxious gases, smoke and l other objectionable fumes are waited into | her premises. rendering the same less deF | sirable than If the coke ovens were not | so situated,

 l The suit to be filed this morning by | Attorneys Tomlinson and Mccullough ia the second brought by Mrs Mclaughlin | against the Sloss company. In a former | petition she asked that the street block | aded by the slag pile be opened up as the closed condition rendered her property

T am inclined to believe said John w. Tomlinson yesterday, that Senator Hugh Morrow has the key to the situ- alton for the handling of liquor in Bir- mingham.
 "As I understand it, MT. Morrow has a bill which, if passed, would establish dispensaries in Birmingham, and would license the restaurants and hotels to sell beer under strict regulation.
 "It is great problem. No one wants to see the conditions which were In oper- alton here before prohibition. However, this legislature must give us some refer from the present conditions, and pe- lieve MT. Morrow has the solution. l am anxious to see the senator from Jeff fcrson introduce his bill at the proper time, and I hope it will pass.

THINKS MORROW HOLDS KEY
 TO BIRMINGHAM SITUATION

"There is no question but that we need more revenue to run the government and it is necessary to break up the blind tigers. This course appeals to meas the best solution"
 "The dispensary is my personal choice, . said J. T. Wiley. Ut brings with 1t the revenue for county and city, which is very badly needed, and is the most natural means of breaking up the reign of lawessness which now exists.
 While I would not object to the high licensed saloon with strict regulation, I do feel that at this time the dispensary is opportune. I am most positively op- posed to a reign of saloons in politics, and the general lawless conditions which existed before prohibition

Any Woman Gan
 Have Beautiful Hair
tFrom French Beauty Monthly)


 No woman should use water upon her hair oftener than once in two months" says M. Fournier, the noted scientist. Dry powder only should be used. Moisture causes the hair to lose its color and in time become thin.
 Any woman desiring abundant. lus- trous hair should use dry shampoo every two or three days. Mix four ounces of powdered orris root with four ounces of therox. Sprinkle about a tablespoonful of this mixture upon the head; then brush the powder thorough ly through the hair. This will keep it light and fluffy and beautifully lus- trous. You will soon see new hair starting to grow. This treatment is the only thing that I am sure will pro- duce a growth of hair.
 While plain orris root is used as q dry shampoo by many women, still, nc such results can be obtained as by us. ing the formula have given"

The Golden Egg Goose

''The proposed revenue bill would kill the goose that lays the golden egg, and in my judgment would raise about $2, 100000 additional revenue the first year, and would so destroy values thereafter that for the next three years 1t would bring in less revenue than the present law. It would bear heavily on all classes, and every effort should be put forth to defeat it.'

Examined Revenue Bill

'f have just examined the revenue bill now pending in the house which is mas terpiece of viciousness, containing many very objectionable features, which, if en- acted into law. you'd not only make inn possible the further development of our state, by outside capital, but would drive out money, reduce values and result in widespread disaster. I can hardly believe that the administration desires the pas sage of the bill as introduced, as Gov ernor O'Neal, while candidate and since his election and inauguration, has al- ways expressed sentiments favorable 10 our business and industrial interests. That portion of his admirable message to the legislature which urged retrenchment and economy met with universal approval and being pledged to this policy 1t is diff ficult to conceive of any large new ap- propriations to which the administration is committed without which there would be no necessity for any material increase in revenue, as the states deficit could be readily overcome within four years by in- creased receipts arising from natural growth. The disbursements of the state of Alabama last year amounted to about one-eighth of those of the state of New York, while the assessed values are only ene-sixteenth as great.

Interest in Alabama

"A great deal of interest is being taken just now in Alabama, and in the Birming ham district in particular, and l learned dustrial lines of much importance 70 Birmingham that are now under advise ment. It is remarkable how closely in touch the large financial interests are with what is going on in Alabama, and I found that the expressions of friendli- ness toward capital contained in the AL len resolution recently passed by the leg islature had been favorably received; i; but on the other hand, the statements re- ported in the press to have been made by certain gentlemen claiming authority to speak for the administration that the large increase contemplated in the reve- nues of the state would be squeezed out of the corporations instead of being raised by a small and equitable increase in as- sessments of all property in the state, has created a feeling of genuine alarm, and has given rise to doubt and uncer- tainty as to the good faith and sincerity of the Allen resolut ton. Several im- portant investments are now being held in abeyance, and it is to be hoped that Governor O'Neal will make clear his po- sition toward the business interests of the state in such a way as to demonstrate that he is not under the influence of some of those feputed to be his closests ad- visers, and whose anti-corporation senti- ments are widely known
