The modern public library is a So
cial and civic. as well as educational
center, according to Director Carl H.
Milan of the Birmingham pub1io
library, who addressed the Association
of Social Workers at the Chamber of
Commerce building Thursday afternoon.
The subject of the address was "The
Library as Social Factor"
Almost every activity of the public
library has social bearing" said the
speaker The children's work involves
dealings with the children of the poor
ard of the foreign born many of whom
need the attention of a social worker
The different adult departments must
deal with the parents of these same
children. must be prepared to furnish
simple and practical information that
often comes close to being actual ad-
divce.
"Some of the special features of
library work that illustrates its dis
tinctiy social features are the supply
ing of professional literature to So
cial workers; the providing of easy
books for adults who are learning to
read English, and of books in foreign
languages for those too old to learn
English; cooperating with social sery-
ice organizations; providing a meet
ing place for clubs in the library build

Suggested by Miss Gold
berg, Is Accepted

The advertising committee of the
Chamber of Commerce met yesterday
and decided upon "rhe Fortunate Acct
dent" as the name of the motion pic
ture play made here, by the Paragon
Feature Film company under the aus
piccs of the Chamber of Commerce. The
name was selected from about 300 SUBJ
mitted by the school children of Bir-
mfngham and was suggested by Miss
Florence Goldberg of 9l5 Fiftieth street,
East Birmingham. Miss Goldberg is
High school student.
The film company representatives
headed by o. w. Lamb left yesterday
morning for Montgomery, where it is
possible they will stage play Mr..

not certain as to what his party would
do in Montgemry, as they had an en-
gagement at Atlanta in the very near
future.
The picture made by the company
will be exhibited here the week of
March g. The principals in the play
were Miss Mary Munger, who portrayed
the character of Miss Blackman: Ed

is believed it viii prove to be very
good. The sky was clear every day
and the sunshine was Just enough to
make things right

time to II. and every one who had any
connection with it's production, seemed

How She Discarded
Unsightly Complexion
Mona Morrow in Town TattIer

How often ! exclaimed as beheld my
ugly complexion in the mirror, IF l only
could tear off this old skin!" And, do
you know, I've learned how to do that
very thing? Not to actually remove the
entire skin all of sudden; that would
be too heroic method and painful, too,
! imagine The worn-out outfcle comes
off in such tiny particles. and so grad
ually--requiring about ten days to COM
plete the transformation--it doesn't hurt
q bit. Day by day the beautiful complex
ion underneath comes forth. Marvellous,
No matter how muddy, rough. blotchy
or aged your complexion, you ca n surely
discard it by this simple process Just
get an ounce of ordinary mercolized
wax at your druggists. apply nightly
like cold cream. washing 1T off morn
ings.
My wrinkles got rid of by an equally
simple method. BY dissolving an ounce
of powdered saxolite in a ha1f-pint
witch hazel and bathing my face III the
solution, every line completely disap-
peared. First the finer lines. finally
even the deep crows feet vanished en-
tirely.
