LANE REPLIES TO THE
 REV. A. J. DICKINSON
States Member of Grand Jury h. dorsed His ministration-Some
 Police Problems

Concerning the recent statement of Rev. A. J. Dickinson pastor of the First Bap- tist church, in which it was chaged that Judge Lane. through his supervision ol the police department. had brought the idea of commission government into dis repute. Judge Lane. yesterday afternoon issued the following:
 Yes, l saw his statement and it is on par with lot of other reel0- less and interruptions statements and false conclusions of his. and I will state in this connection that I had occasion to go before the grand jury as a witness. and one of the grand jurors rose tip In the presence of the grand jurors then in session and stated in the hearing of all. that he. in behalf of the grand jury. desired to thank me for the efficient serv- ice l had been rendering in the suppress sion of gambling by placing Captain Re- gan and special squad in his charge, to look after this particular infraction of the law.
 This statement was received with ap- parent favor by all of the grand ju- TOTS present-eertainly none of them made any objection to it.
 Many minimizing people imagine that all police department has 10 do is 10 simply go out and arrest gamblers, with out any proof to sustain the ahasse. Never was there a greater mistake Gam blers have devices. such as electric wires. end parties 10 give signals, etc, so as to thwart the efforts of the policemen to make the arrests and to obtain proof tD sustain thema Efforts have been going on for many months by the police de- partment, under my direction to sttp- press this evil. They have accomplished a great deal, as the records show. having made more than 1000 arrests up to his date during the present year, and this has been done by legitimate means. and not by sending out men to induce people tu commit the crime, and then arrest them. The same efforts are now being put forth that have been utilized up to this time

Efficient Charity

"It gives me pleasure to state that my several years of official connection with the Associated charities in the capacity Of q director has thoroughly convinced me that this organization provides the most efficient, convenient. direct and construe- tive method for the dispensing of charity.
 "The policies of this organization not only eliminate to large degree the op- portunities for fraud and unworthy causes, but it makes possible the maxi mum efficiency with the funds contributed by citizens desiring 10 contribute to charity.
 ''i have known of cases handled by your organization where wise counsel and good advice of your officials have been of much greater and more per manent value than the donation of funds which would have been con tributed under ordinary conditions by individuals without accomplishing any permanent relief
 "1n other words, think the policy of the Associated Charities Is the only practical and constructive channel through which charities can be intel Iigently distributed through the field which your association proposes to cover
 "I of course realize there are many A. ferent fields in lhls city though feel sure all such institutions would do well to cooperate with the Assocjated Charities.
 With best wishes for continued sue cess of the organization, | remain. very respectfully.

Home Face Feeling
 Becomes Popular
0From Fa shion Reporterl

No comple Nion treatment yet discov- cred seems to have become so generally and so Immediately popular as the mer- eolized wax process. Evidently the req son for this is that this method actually gets rid of bad complexion, which can hardly be said of any other. To tenn porarily hide or bleach the defective skin with cosmetics, cannot compare with the effect of literally removing the skin itself. Mercolized wax takes off the offending surface skin in flour-like particles. q little at time, until there s none of it left. The new complexion thus produced exhibits healthy glow and girlish beauty obtainable in no other way. This wax. which you can get at your druggist's is applied at night in the same way you use cold cream. and washed off next morning.
 Here is the only thing know of that actually does remove wrinkles. re- move them quickly. and at trifling cost Powdered saxolite, 1 oz.. dissolve in 1-2 pt witch hazel Use as face bath.

'POSSUM BARBECUE
 AT POWER STATION
Annual Affair Given Last Night Greatly Enjoyed
 by Those Present

The Birmingham Railway, Light & Power Co. power station men held their annual barbecue last night at the power station, corner Nineteenth street and Powell avenue. The affair was a real
 "possum success from start to finish.
 The yearly barbecue was initiated sev- eral years ago by NJ S. Sloan, now assist ant to the president of the power plant. MT Sloan was unable to attend the bar becue last night but his erstwhile com rades did not forget him or his love for 'possum'; for they prepared es- pecially for his epicure and taste a splced baked "possuma that would have made MT. Taft stop grieving over the election, and sent 1t by special messenger to Mir. Sloan's residence.
 An amusing incident of the barbecue , was the fact that D. J O'Brien, chief engineer of the power station came to the barbecue with strong aversion for anything that was in anyway related to '"possum" The facts about the raatter were that MT. O'Brien had never been properly introduced to Billy 'Possum. and a committee of power station men, headed by H. P. Richard saw to it that MT OBrien and Billy 'Possum" got ac- quainted. The pleasure of the meeting was mutual

COMES AFTER FOSTER
Police Chief McNutt States Birming ham Has Not Enough Policemen

Chief of Police c. H. MeNutt of May field. Ky, arrived in Birmingham yes terday afternoon from his home town with requisition papers and warrants for Dick Foster. wanted in Mayfield for high way robbery. Foster was arrested in Birmingham several days ago by City De- tectives Daly and Warren.
 Chief MeNutt spent a pleasant evening yesterday in company with Chief Bode- ker, visiting several places of interest about the city and spending few enjoy able hours aS the Elks home.
 Birmingham is an admirable town,'' said Chief McNutt, and should be com plimented on two things. its excellent fire and police departments. Undoubtedly Chief Bodeker is handicapped by his small force. In town as large as Brming- ham 115 patrolmen seems to be but drop in the bucket in the way of police pro- teetion." Chief McNutt leaves today at noon for his home.
