MANY yVOLUNTEERT ID DO DEAD LEVEL BEST
Five Hundred Men Attend Meeting of Religion For
 ward Movement

Five hundred men attended the initial meeting in Birmingham yesterday after neon of the Men and Religion Forward Movement, three hundred of which earn estly responded to the call for voun- teers by the Rev. Bob Jones to do their dead level best toward each bringing a man to Christ during the ensuing week.
 After pf'eliminaries D. r. Marbury of the committee of 97 of the national move- ment, spoke of the plans and hopes of the leaders of the movement He recited briefly the meeting some time ago in Sll- yer Bay, Mich, bN men gathered from all parts of the country to discuss the launching of the movement.
 He told of the great interest that was being manifested in the movement all over the country, and that nearly all to whom the subject was preached were in favor of it, and soon became enthu- siastic.
 "One difficulty that is being encoun- ter ed'' said Mir Marbury, lis this; Some pastors, when the subject is first mem tioned. are apprehensve of it, fearing that it is only some other organization to enter the church and render things and matters appertaining to the church more complex, and are, therefore, until relieved of this idea. opposed to the plan.

 An Educational Institution

The Alabama State Fair is an educa- interest to every good citizen of the state. The machinery exhibits are of the very best and show the great progress made by modern machinery.
 The mining and mineral exhibits are of such a character that they not only prove resources of the state.
 The government agricultural experiment station at Auburn will also put in an ex- hibit covering 1924 square feet of space. dollars in educating the farmers to raise better crops and improve their work along all lines. The exhibit of the Auburn ex- pertinent station will be with a view of showing just what the results of improved farm demonstration work means to the farmers of the state. This exhibit will be under the direct supervision of J. F. Dugger, director of the Auburn sta tion. Mr. Dugger Is so well known for his splendid research and practical agri- cultural work that the fact that he will put on this sexhibit is assurance that 1t will be a most splendid one.
 Twelve counties have reserved ample space for magnificent exhibits and every Aabamian who visits the fair should spend several hours in the agricultural hall in examining displays" These ex- hibits will be a practical exploitation of

"We are pre- pairing for the assembling of the largest gathering of persons interested in mining ever held in the world" he said. ""rhe experimental mine 12 miles from Pitts- burg will be actually exploded for the benefit of of those attending on the first day of the meeting.

 much more susceptible to the poisonous atmosphere than a man. large glass cage has been constructed, in which number of canaries and man will be placed Mine gas will be forced into the cage, and as soon as the birds begin falling from their perches, overcome by the foul atmosphere, they will be passed outside and revived with oxygen.

 be used for dust explosion. Men will
 enter the cylinder after the explosion equipped with artificial apparatus for
 breathing A moving picture outfit will be there to get a film for the govern

MUCH INTEREST IN
 BUILDING CONTRACT
Many Outside Contractors Were Here Competing for the Work and
 'e Examining Specifications

E The 15 or 20 contractors from various cities who have been in Birmingham to bid on the 20 story skyscraper or the American Trust and Savings bank re- turned to their homes yesterday with the exception of the successful bidder.
 The contract attracted a great deal of attention from various contracting firms and for several days past the contractors have been in Birmingham watching their chances and learning facts about the erection of the skyscraper.
 The letting of the American Trust con- tract was a matter of unusual interest in Birmingham. A great many citizens discussing the proposition yesterday were unable to recall any large construction here that ever attracted such widespread attention.

Those who are not opposed are indifferent until the matter is more clearly defined to them. Then it Is that the man is carried in the rush by the forward move ment."
 He concluded by urging that more close and careful study of the Bible be made. thus simplifying the work of the movement greatly.
 He was followed by one minute speeches outlining the policy to be pursued by the Birmingham clan of the organiza- ton. Much light was shed upon the movement by the few words spoken by the men who were imbued with the idea of the Men and Religion Forward Move ment.
 The Rev. Bob Jones made one of the most forceful impromptu talks at this meeting that has been the good fortune of those present to hear The main thought in his talk was, Do you know Chf4st was not known as He should be known, accompanying his talk with illus trations greatly clarifying the real mean ing of the sermonette
 At the close of the meeting he called for volunteers among those present Who would promise to do their dead level best" to bring one man to Christ dur ing the next week and received many responses.

Twentieth Street View

Elmer Coats. well known member of the Travellers Protective associations:
 The most interesting Birmingham spot to me is at Capitol park near the Davis monument, where I can see the sweep of Twentieth street up the side of Red moln- tain. The view is not only pretty but in spring. and as seen between the massive proportions of the Brown Marx and Elm pire buildings suggests something of nat ural stage setting for the human events that transpire in the city marts"

How Nature Makes
 New Compilations
From The Family Physician


 It is well known that the human skin Is constantly undergoing a tear ing down and building up process With advancing years or waning vitality this tissue-change lags; the lifeless. soiled surface skin stays on SO long that its owner gets poor comple xion."
 Common sense tells us this dead skin cannot be enlivened or beautified by any cosmetic, lotion or powder. The natural thing to do is to remove the offensive skin-remove the bad complexion. It has been found that ordinary mercolized wax completely absorbs the devitiated skin, in minute particles, so gently, gradually as to cause no inconvnience. Mercolized wax, which any druggist can supply, is put on at night like cold cream, only not rubbed in, and washed off in the morning. If you would have a brilliantly beautiful complexion. just use this simple treatment

In response to the question. What is the most interesting place in Blrmins ham," citizens of the city told Ago. Herald reporters yesterday some interest ing stories. They are as follows:
 Steel Mill
 Frank Smith, last mayor of Elyton, and serving his second term of office at the time of annexation with Birmingham:
 "The most interesting place in Birmlng- ham to me Is the Tennessee company's steel rail mill at Ensley. It is perfect ly wonderful that iron ore and coal ara taken from the mountain and lime rock from the valley right at hand made into iron billets that are put into the mill ana come out rails that are sent all over the world. Of course, 1 think Birming- ham, as a whole is the most interesting place in the world to me, as I can reme.n- Der the time when fish pond, shaded by tall oaks, stood where the Morris hotel is now built-and 1 am not an old man"

Steel Mills

"The steel mills at Ensley are the most interesting things in the city to me-" said J. T. Jackson, a salesman who comes to Birmingham regularly. "The processes of manufacturing steel are of great interest to the spectator, and be- sides that the plant stands for the enor- nous wealth of the industries of the Birmingham district. To see the thou sands of men toling there and to think of the great energy and force that are employed there, it Is most inspiring. It strikes me that every visitor to this city should, if possible, see the steel mills as one of the most interesting places in the city,
