THE LATEST BEAUTY HINT.

From Leslies.
1t comes from Paris. A society woman
Of the French capital has made won
derful discovery. 1t is a starch bath. A
pound of starch dissolved in a saucepan
full of hot water is poured into the we'll
filed bathtub at blood heat and then the
bath is taken for 20 minutes with all but
the face and hair Immersed The result
is quoting to the nerves. delt6htful
sense of exhilaration, and soothing ef-
feet upon the skin. This bath should be
taken before breakfast or before dressing
for dinner. For the limp or washed-out,
it does what a laundress does to crum-
pied shirt.

"A person stands poor chance OF real
izing the full extent and magnificence OF
Birmingham when it is seen in small
patches said young citizen. When
our buildings and industrial works are
viewed at close range, one is apt to miss
his perspective and look at each building
as though it were alone, and lose sight
of the fact that each rising edifice and
each smoking stack is only a unit in the
development of this growing city. To
fully comprehend the splendor of the city
of Birmingham as whole, it should be
viewed from an eminence such as that af-
forded by the top of the Jefferson County
bank building. The first view from this
aerie certainly confirms the saying that
distance lends enchantment. The Bir-
mingham Newspaper club is indeed fortu-
nate i'm it's selection of this lofty emil
hence as its future home. Here. its MEM
bers. when at leisure, may gain inspira-
ton in contemplating the achievements
of their fellow townsmen."

It will cost the railroads of the east $751;
100000 more a year to operate If they are
their $4,000 trainmen and conductors.
These employees are entitled to an in
crease, no doubt, and the railroads would
be glad to grant it, but the trouble is
they haven't got the money. A small In
crease in freight rates seems the only So
luton.

Cordial Invitation to cen,iles

There seems to be an impression that
the Jewish religious services are con-
fined exclusively to the Hebrew race"
said a prominent member of the Temple
EMANUEL when as a matter of fact
we welcome the people of all denomina-
lions to attend our exercises. Beginning
Friday evening at sunset and coptinu
ing until sunset Saturday we will OBJ
serve the greatest event in the Jewish
calendar the Day of Atonement.' The
doors of our temple. or rather the doors
of the Southside Baptist church, where
we will hold our exercises are always
wide open to the public, and I can assure
the general public that we will welcome
them and appreciate their presence during
this service.
Il am sure I voice the sentiments of
the Jewish citizens OF Birmingham when
say that we are always glad TO have
our Gentle friends with us at all times,
but especially on occasions like the one
Friday night. 10 my mind there Is no
greater indication of the broadness of the
religious people of our city then the fact
that the congregation\ of the southside
Baptist church extended to us the privi-
lege of holding our services in their mag
edifice, and 7 can further assure
them that the courtesy is deeply and sim
cerely appreciated. Again on behalf of
the Jewish people of the city, | extend
an invitation to all denominations, sects
and creeds to attend this service, which
to us is the greatest annual event in
our religious life

IN HOTEL LOBBIES


Birmingham is filling up with visitors
from various sections of Alabama said a
merchant. and by Saturday the crowd
will probably be record breaker.
For many years this city has been
popular with our country friends, and the
larger and more metropolitan it becomes
the greater will be the crowds during the
annual State Fair. Everybody is glad I'd
see the streets full of strangers Fall
shopping has been brisk for several

L might be said that rumors are
rife about a trade and the same ru-
mors have worried Joshua Devore, -
the Giants, worse than the triumph
Of a rival frets a youth in love ana
the senior year of high school at the
same time. The rumor is that josh
will be slipped to Boston for a con-
sideration of some players. And josh
is much set against Boston. So far
he has escaped it. Josh says he
wants TO stay In the big league. This
same bugaboo crops up every once in
a while and disturbs the Devore
peace of mind Josh finally became
so worried over the persistent reports
he asked McGraw about them,
III tell you when you are going
to be traded" replied the New York
boss. Don't let them trade you IA

This was small comfort for Devore.
He does not know any more than he
would let Devore go. but he might
have 1t limited with the idea Of sple-
ing him up in his work. That is an
old trick of managers.

which will bear close watching. 1t
struck me as being a big improve
ment over the team we faced last
year In the exhibition game on our
spring trip, The players have lots Cf
pep and are shot fun Of ambition.
You cannot keep them beaten, which
is a good sign in team. They be-
lieVe they have a chance for the
worlds championship, and everyone
of them knows just how much that
means in cold figures. II is my per
sonal opinion, after playing against
the club. IL will have a grand little
chance Of coping the honors It
would have a much better chance,
however, If the Athletics were not
working in the same league. The
Nationals looked better in the first
game that they won from US than in
the second, which they lost.

FOREIGN GOLF
STARS To PLAY
ON THIS SIDE

a JEW YORK, April Hilary
IN Vardon and Edward Ray, two
Of the leading golfers in Eng
land, win be sent to this country By
Lord Northclffe. OF England, to COM
pete in the open golf championship
in September, according to word re-
ceiyed here yesterday.
Vardon has won the coveted title
In England five times, and Ray Is
now the champion. But there is a
possibility Of neither repeating, in
fact. it may be considered probable,
the reason being that practically the
cream of American and French pro-
fesslonals also will be in competition
this year Then there is George Dun
can the Hanger Hill PRO" who is
regarded by many followers Of the
British game as about due to win
the title. Duncan, however. is SO
busy with exhibitions, which will he
increased by the absence Of Vardon
and Ray, that he has called Off his
prospective American trip in the fall.
Expenses To Be Paid.
It may be, nevertheless, that Dun
can can be induced to further change
his plans in view of the fact that
Nardon and Ray are not only having
their expenses paid by Lord North
cliffe, but are also to be well re-
warded for their services in quest OF
the American championship. II is
said tina. when the generous peer
first suggested to Vardon another
American trip, the famous Briton ex-
pressed no particular enthusiasm and
asked a price for his services which
he considered prohibitive. However,
the wealthy journalist promptly ac-
cepted the terms and Vardon set to
work to have the American dates
changed so as to be convenient.
Duncan May Make Trip.
Under these conditions it was no
difiicult task to convince Ray OF the
desirability OF the American trip
Moreover Ray had never been in this
country and was DESTROYS of coming
over. and II may be that under such
terms Duncan could be induced To
change his plans in the event of his
becoming the champion. Vardon and
Ray are coming here with the stipu-
lation that they use only clubs and
balls Of British manufacture, SO that
If their efforts are attended by sue
cess il win be an all British triumph.
There Is also the requirement that
the two famous golfers must play for
three weeks in America prior to the
open championship, which probably
means that they win be seen in
matches or tournaments before they
appear In the open. Several clubs
are raising purses for either matches
with the best local pros or for open
tournaments to which the cream OF
che talent viii be attracted
