WING Trimmings.

Wing trimmings are ultra-smart and,
oddly enough. at a season when flow
ers might reasonably be expected to
bloom on every hat. One very clever
little novelty is the fan-shaped wing
made Of quilts or feathers in separate
colors or-tones. They come in the al
most endless variations Of berry, blue,
green and yellow shades and are held
together by a support in green breast
feathers resembling a fans hub.
Other wings are dyed in cross
stripes matching those of the fashion
able clan plaids. On a straw hat they
look very smart when worn above o
page cape lined with plaided silk.

Points on
Advertising

Some. DOn'ts When You Do Ad'
Vertise.

The price OF the gun never hits the
bull's eye,
And the bang seldom rattles the
bells.
It's the hand on the trigger that cuts
the real figure.
The aims what amounts-that's what
makes record counts
Are you hitting or just wasting
shells?
Don't forget that the man who writes
your copy IL the man who aims your
policy.
When you stop to reflect what your
0pace costs and that the wrong talk
is just nolse-bang without blH-you
must see the necessity and sanity OF
putting the right man behind the gun.
Don't tolerate an ambition on your
adman's part to indulge in q lurking
desire to be a literary light.
People read his advertising to dis
cover what your buyers have just
brought in from the market and what
you are asking for 20. N. T." They
buy the newspaper for information
and recreation and are satisfied with
the degree Of poetry and persiAage
dished up in It's reading columns.
Don't exangerate. Poetic licenses
are not valid in business prose. The
American people don't want to be
humbugged and the merchant who hg'
ures upon too many fools finds him
self looking into mirror, usually
about half hour after the sheriif has
come to look over the premises.
Don't Initiate. Advertising Is q
special measure garment. Businesses
are not built in ready-made sizes. Copy
which fits somebody else's selling
plans won't fit your store without sag
ging at the chest or riding up at the
collar. Duplicated argument and du-
plicated results are not twins. Your
policy Of publicity must be specially
measured from your policy OF mer-
chandising.
Don't put your advertising In charge
Of an amateur. Let somebody else
stand the expense Of his educational
blunders. Remember you are making
a plea before the bar Of public conf
dence. Your adwriter Is an advocate.
Like bad lawyer, he can lose a good
case by not making the most Of the
facts at hand.
Don't get the "sales" habit. Sales"
are stimulants. When held too often
their effect is weakening. The mer-
chant who continually yells bargain"
is like the old hen who was always
crying fox" When the real article
did come along none of her chicks
believed Il.
Don't use fine print. Make II easy
' for the reader to find out about your
business There are ten million pairs
Of eyeglasses worn I'm America, and
every owner OF them buys something.
And Don't start unless you mean to
stick. The patron saint Of the sue

Record Of the Incubation.

One hundred years ago Ferdinand
VII restored the Inquisltlon in Spain.
The inquisition was designed to punish
heresy and spiritual offenses and had
been established for centuries in vari'
GUS countries OF Europe. In Spain the
sentences OF the inquisitorial courts
were carried out with untold cruelties,
the burning OF the victims at the stake
being one of the commonest forms Of
punishment. One Of Napoleon's first
acts after he had conquered Spain was
to abolish the inquisition. After its
restoration by Ferdinand VII 1t con-
tinued to exist but six years, being
finally abolished by the cortes In 1920.
Historians have reckoned that more
than thirty thousand persons were put
to death and nearly three hundred
thousand otherwise punished during
the 2S6 years that the inquisitiOn exist.

In Making French Knots.

It is much more satisfactory to use
coarse thread in making French knots
because then the cord or thread need
not be wound so many times around
the needle. and, therefore, IL not 30

CITY EMPLOYMENT
 BUREAU IS FORMED
 ID AID THE NEEDY
Only Small Charge Will Be Made to Assist Those Out of Work to Find
 Places

A newly established institution for the aid of the needy Is the City Employment Bureau, which was formally launched into being last week by Dr. H. M. Edmonds. Hugh F. Lattimer and M. ]. agency is to secure work for the un- employed in this district. Only a small charge will be made for the services, which is necessary for the expense of the office. The city commission has in- dorsed the movement heartily.
 Thomas c. Haughton is manager of the bureau, with temporary offices at 452 Hood building. It is the intention of the bureau to investigate the previous record they might better place them. The pub- lie is urged by the incorporators to call upon the bureau for help in the solving of the servant problem or for any kind of work.
 The governing board of the bureau at present is: M. " Joseph, Dr. H. c. Kegley of the Gulf States Presbyterian the Rev. w. N. Clayb-ook of St. Mary's- on-the Highlands church, and the Rev Willis G. Clark. rector of St. Andrew s Episcopal.
 The following letter has been mailed to practically every church in the district and replies are rapidly being received con- veying their willingness to cooperate.
 Dear Brother: Some of us have in- corporated an employment bureau under church auspices.
 "Our aim is to do our part toward help ing the unemployed to secure honorable work.
 "The bureau is to be self-supporting, so that we are not calling on you for any money, and have no such expectation The plan is to charge small per cent of the first months salary of those for whom positions are secured. No regis tration or other fees will be charged and the per cent of salary will be lowered as rapidly as the income will allow Any surplus will be used to help applicants who need not only positions, but money We are sending this letter to every church in the city asking. that a repre- sentative be appointed to make up a large advisory board. This board will probably meet once year. Our idea in asking it Is that we may be in touch with every congregation in the city, securing in this way:
 '1. A means of wide advertisement. Occaslonal announcements in all or many of the churches of Birmingham will acquaint a great number of peo- pie with the fact that they can tele- phone and get work done or work to do
 "2. A basis for sympathetic and in telligent cooperation. A plan of this sort properly worked will mean scores of persons systematically engaged in bringing the unemployed in touch with those who wish to employ. "3. A method of securing the advices Of many men. We need your help and want your council
 Now will you have your governing board appoint or elect such repre-. sentative at their next meeting and report name and address of the one chosen? Yours sincerely, HUGH F. LATIMER, MASON J. DILLARD, HENRY M. EDMONDS, "Trustees"

ANN|STON WOULD HAVE THE GOVERNOR
 CALL EXTRA SESSION
President of Council in In- teryiew Calls on Citizens to Appear Before
 Executive

Anniston, June 6-(Special) )-Capt. A. P. Agee. on various occasions councilman, city attorney and first president of the Anniston city council, gave out thought ful interview here Saturday in which he called upon the people of Anniston to unite In a citizens meeting for the pur- uose of calling on the governor to issue the call for an extra session before the general elections next November.
 Captain Agee's law partner. Judge D. c. Blackwell, is a nominee from Calhoun county for representative in the next as- sembly, and Captain Agee suggests that the members of the legislature be in- structed to work for a higher rate of tax ation for this city, which now enjoys probably the lowest rate of any city in the United States. one-half of l per cent.
 Captain Agee would have the question of the tax raise submitted to the people at the general election in November, and it is for this reason that he would have the governor call the extra session at once. He says:
 ''It is of the greatest concern to Annis- ton. in my opinion. that this be done. The city has not sufficient revenue with which to properly conduct its municipal affairs It is constantly handicapped by the short ness Of fundS. BuSlness ana occupdtons are overtaxed, and property is insuffi- gently taxed for city purposes. There is probably not another city of the size of Anniston in the country where the prop erty tax Is as low as one-half of 1 per cent. It takes nearly all of the money, if not all, derived from the property tax to pay the interest on the outstanding bonded indebtedness, ana after December l, 1914, the rate of interest will be fn- creased to per cent, instead of per Scent as 1t is now.
 "In the constitution of 1901, tax of not exceeding one-half of 1 per cent was allowed to be assessed by municipal cor porations. But the cities of Mobile Bir- mingham. Huntsville, Bessemer. Andalu- sa. Mostgomery. Troy. Attalla. Wood lawn, Brewton, Pratt City, Ensley, Wy lam, Avondale, Decatur, New Decatur and Cullman were all excepted from this general provision in varying degrees. Anniston was one of the few progressive towns in the state which was not allowed to levy a tax of more than one-half of per cent"
