Following the vigorous protests Of citi-

SLOT MACHINES TO
. BE CONFISCATED
CITY Attorney Boyd Holds Them to Be
Illegal-Commission Will Put
Them Under Ban Today

The ghost of slot machines VIII reap
pear again this afternoon when the COM
mission meets. Finding the slot machines
operating and being unwilling to attempt
to license them, the commissioners will
order the machines confiscated. The mat
ter of ascertaining whether the slot ma
chimes are illegal has been left to Cap
tain Boyd, the city attorney, and he will
report this afternoon that the machines
are against the law. The commissioners
will accordingly order them banished
from Birmingham.
The machines have occasioned consid-
erable turmoil in Birmingham and after
being ordered out one time before they

REGULAR SESSION OF
COMMISSION TODAY
MAY Set Date for Final Ac-
ton on Tidewater Fran
chise Application

The ordinance proposed by the Asso-
ciated charities to trim the alleged loan
shark will come up for special consid-
Grafton this afternoon before the commits
sion. The law was drafted by the legal
aid bureau of this city and was pre-
sented to the commission some time ago.
The sponsors for the proposed ordinance
are very anxious to have it enacted and
appeared at the last meeting in large num-
bers.
The commissioners will hear both sides
of the alleged loan shark evil before
adopting the proposed ordinance. No in
dication has been given by the commits
sioners as to their attitude on the mat
ter.
In addition to this question the COM
missioners will take up several other
measures and questions that have been
hanging on the slate for some time. The
Tidewater franchise for 172 blocks in the
city has been recommended by the city
engineer, but no action has been taken.
1t is probable that some date will be set
this afternoon for a final hearing of that
ordinance.

Boudoir Notes

One may try the effect of the new tints
in powder without investing in one OF the
large boxes, for two OF the much talked
of colors are sold in the small pocket
vanity cases. These two tints are the
bistre and the lavender. Despite all the
discussion. bistre is becoming to the bru-
nette with a deep olive coloring, who has
always found even the rachel tint too
white. 1t is likely TO give too ochre
hue to the woman with light skin: she'
on the other hand, can play with the
mauve shade, for 1t loses Its bizarre
features under the glare of the electric
light. 1t Is really remarkable how becom-
ing this queer tone is to certain skins in
the evening To look at it in the box one
would never believe that it could enhance
the beauty of any one, but it seems to
do so nevertheless.
In the small vanity boxes these two
tints sell for the same price as the reGu-
lation shades; that is. 80 cents. In the
large boxes. scented with the amber royal
perfume, the price is 81 80.

SMART HAT OF THE
HOUR is A WHITE ONE
Esnec;allv Effective When Worn with Powdered
Hair-New Couture Necessitated by Some or
the New Hats-Domestic Feather Fantasies

like a remarkably good imitation OF the
bird of paradise is being used to trim
HACK lace hat which will be taken
South next week. Lace hats, by the way
have not lost their standing, though they
are no longer a novelty. Instead OF the
collar of lace, the crown is now of lace,
black or gold, and the brim OF velvet or
taffeta. Light, feathery mounts are used
as trimming, poised at the side and STICK
ing out at all sorts Of impossible angles
Their only rival is the ostrich and "
must be admitted that ostrich is every
day growing in favor.
Since the law insists upon the plumagt
OF domestic birds being used the manu-
facturers are discovering that some really
good effects can be produced. A novelty
that is Just beginning to find resting
place on the late winter hats is WING
of a domestic bird-shaped and clippec
irto the semblance Of triangle. These
are adjusted across the front of the hat.
Another new idea, which has appealed
tremendously to a Partisan modiste VINO
caters largely to the American clientele,
is a wing formed into perfectly sym
metrical fan, with corrugated surface. BY
making the wings double two different
colors may be used, the front side, FOL
instance, rejecting green tone and the
back d bright blue. These fantasies can
be poised al almost any position on the
hat and are thus doubly valuable from
the miliners point OF view.

SLIPPERS CLASSIC.

The tango slippers bark back to the
classic, for the Grecan sandals have been
faithfully copied for the modern tango
enthusiast. These slippers are prettiest
in matelasse. though they can be oousht
In any shade of satin to match or con-
trast with the gown. When the oiacA
satin or matelasse sandals are chosen the
ribbons match the gown in color. The
strasse or cut steel slides and buckles
add tremendously to these slippers
though they are not necessary from the
viewpoint Of the dancer. What is more
important TO her is to procure the low
heeled slipper Here again the tango mas
developed a new fashion. for until the
tango enthusiast demanded the low heels
which the professional dancers always
wear. the manufacturers never thoush'
