OSCAR TURNER is
BACK FROM THE EAST
Stops Over in Washington and Says
Underwood Is Looming Bigger
Every Day

Oscar C. Turner is back from a two
weeks trip in the east and on his way
home he stopped one day in Washing
ton.
THE business outlook Is excellent in
spite of sporadic efforts being made by
some opponents of the democratic ad-
ministration to stir up trouble and cause
the party embarrassment. Underwood
gets bigger in the eyes of the people every
day. My business caused me to see a
number of the manufacturers who are
now in Washington looking after their
tariff interests.
without exception they have the high
est regard and respect for Mr.. Under
wood One of them told me how nicely
the ways and means chairman had treat
ed them and listened to their arguments
But this man added, the only trouble
is we can't stay with him too long or
he is liable to convince us we are wrong.
zone hears considerable war talk, but
I do not think it is taken very seriously.
The only possible thing that could bring
on war is for the Japs to realize that
they have everything to gain and nothing
to lose. They have so many people to
take care of that they can't feed them
and war might be a means of stopping
a lot of open revolt at home. But no
one seems to anticipate real trouble

Contempt OF
DANCER

Tn a recent magazine article DR..
Woods Hutchinson says, scratches
nricks and insect bites should be
treated with anything but contempt"
And in this jesting manner he makes
a most serious statement
Some germ or other is responsible
for most forms of malignant diseases.
These germs enter our systems through
lust such insignificant avenues as are
afforded by insect bites. cuts or
scratches To disregard the possible
evil which might result from these
s,ipbt causes is foolhardy In the ex-
treme.
And because you have escaped the
rayages of germ disease up to now,
don,t imagine you are exempt from it.
you have been lucky, that's all.
Don't trust to luck. Nip trouble in
the bud by destroying the germ. The
daily use of a Peroxide antiseptic as a
mouth wash or douche, or applied To-
cally to cuts scratches or insect bites,
will do this promptly and effectively.
The best antiseptic to use Is LIS
TOGEN. 1t goes farther than Peroxide
of HYDROGEN by uniting with that most
efficient germ destroyer the remedial
and antiseptic properties of Thymol,
Menthol and Eucalyptol.
These valuable elements take up the
work where Peroxide Of Hydrogen
leaves off and with their help L1STO-
GEN not only destroys the germ. but in
some degree repairs the damage that
has been done.
Ask your druggist for LISTOGEN.
You will delight in the purifying, re-
freshing sensation that 1t gives. 26

LETTERS TO EDITOR
How TO See Birmingham

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
First day: Fer the benefit of the Wis
itors and strangers coming to our city
l thought to give them a memorandum
and guide TO assist them in sightseeing.
Look first at 1dlewild and Glen Iris on the
Southside There you will see costly and
handsome homes with circling drive ways.
lawns, esplanades, trees and flowers.
Leaving these places of wonderful beauty
take the mountain road. This highway
Is elevated in places of great height,
sloping deeply down to the valley where
the Highlanders can look down into the
yards and see the Italian gardens of the
lowlanders, but cannot see their cheerful
faces nor hear their sprightly prattle
Along this mountainway might be a good
place to forget cares and induce a state
of dreamy Incidence, but that would be
out of place as all classes here are doing
their part in life. Enquire for Atamont
road. This takes you to Mountain Ter
race; the neighborhood is so enchanting
leave you to draw the picture. Return
ing by way of Cliff road you pass the
Country club, the golf links and Lakeview
Park entering Highland avenue. which
is our boast and pride. Follow this
smooth road to Five Points, going slowly
that you may see the homes and well
kept lawns. Reaching the Points ride
up and down the other four thorough
fares each leading into this divergent
plat of ground
Second day: Retrace your steps to the
points then circle around and you VIII
be convinced that the living God Is not
forgotten. Go down Twentieth street
into the downtown district and there
you will see bordering on the business
neighborhood many houses of worship and
school buildings for the training of the
young.
Third day: Spend this in looking at
the great buildings of many kinds that
are in course of erection.
Fourth day: Look at North Highlands
and inviting Norwood. which Is destined
in the near future to rival the South

is UP In FRANCE


Paris, May 19.-The gambling question
again came up in the chamber of depu-
ties today. After a lengthy discussion
an amendment to the gambling law of
1907 proposed by M. Georges Berry was
adopted by vote of 454 to So This pro-
vides for suppression of gambling casinos
in university towns or within 81 miles of
Paris.
The Enghien casino, near Paris, against
which many allegations have been made
Will come under this prohibition This
was one of the resorts referred to by
Vlcomte Gustave de Kerguezec in the
chamber when he charged that many dep

ling In public places and that these
places enjoyed protection. The chamber
rejected motion for an investigation
by a parliamentary committee of the
Enghien casino, deciding to leave the mat
ter in the hands of judicial authorities.

Protests Against Garbage Dump

To the Editor of The Age-Herald
l Just want enough space in your
columns to call attention to a remark
able condition, for civilized community.
Which exists on the Gate City and Boyles
car line between Thirtieth and Thirty
third street
Ihis section is being used as a dump
ing ground for the refuse and filth of the
city and this rubbish is dumped within
30 feet of the car line on either side When
the line of foul stuff only extended a
block on one side of the car line the pas
sensers would just hold their breath and
get along very well, but after it was ex-
tended three blocks very few of the pas
sengers could hold their breath that long
as a stop at a railroad orossing gave
a very severe test to q@e's lungs 1t
didn't make so much e ference while
only one side of the cal line was being
used for this obnoxious matter as good
breath of air would float through the car
occasionally when the wind was right,
but since both sides are being used there
is no chance to dodge it.
Several thousand passengers pass
through this rank atmosphere daily. with
windows open during warm weather and
the siekening odor of rotten cabbage.
spoiled potatoes, decaying fruits and
vegetables of great city pervades the
atmosphere and greets one on his way
to his sumptuous repast after a hard

culated to be conducive to a keen appetite
nor to add a relish for the most savory
nlorsels
A glue factory would be as rose
eeranium when compared to the rankness
in this vicinity.
This would not be allowed on a small
country road travelled by a dozen people
a day.
l believe damages could be obtained
from the operat tors of this car line for
carrying their passengers through such a
putrefying mass of i'll smelling rubbish,
and that the owners of the property on
which hundreds of loads of decomposed
vegetable and animal matter are dumped
could be prosecuted for maintaining a
public nuisance, and that the city authori-
ties who have supervision of such mat
ters could be exiled to private life on
general principles.

ton of justice, but will, with several thou
sand others who ride Gate City or Boyles
cars, insist on immediate relief
