He was dean of the school of education in the university.
 The name of Dr. Dresslar is familiar to all educators in America who are in- terested particularly in the subject of school hygiene, school sanitation and bet ter school architecture.

He is member of the Permanent international committee on school hygiene He is the author of "Schol Hygiene" 7" .sAmerican SchOOlhOuSeS'' a nd a number of other valuable works in this special line.

 The Peabody Normal school, of which the new Central Teachers college for the entire south is the successor. has many prominent alumni in the state of Alabama who are greatly interested in the estab- lishment of this new and epoch-makins institution. They are watching all the rapid development with much interest and many of them are contributing gen" erously to help bring it about.

M|L|TANTS MAY COST ENGLAND LARGE SUM
Acts of Vandalism Cause Tourists to Give London
 Wide Berth

London, March 11.-That portion of London which harvests the dollars of American tourists is showing much alarm over the closing of sightseeing shrines, as result of suffragette acts of van- dalism. The manager of hotel, half Of whose guests come from the United States, said the places closed are those which Americans came halfway across the world to see, and that he looks for a heavy loss.
 It also is feared, according to this ho- tel manager, that stories of suffragette outrages have been so painted in the United States that timid tourists will give London wide berth. As the suffra- gettes' bombs usually have been placed at points to which tourists are attracted. the claim is made that fear of eXplo- sions already has caused many Ameri- can women to hasten through London, without making their usual stops at them. The manager of a large tourist agency today said the activities of the suffragettes undoubtedly would lessen the influx of tourists from the continent dur ing the Easter ason.

WILL OAKLEY'S
 STORY BE BELIEVED?

Montgomery. March l.-(Speeial )-Will James G. Oakley's story be believed This is the principal question heard to- night on street corners. in hotel Hobbies and at all places in Montgomery where crowds are gathered.
 Although Oakley was not allowed to tell his whole story this afternoon what he did say indicated very clearly his line of defense. But will the F jurors who are hearing this case believe such a story?
 It is safe to say that the people of Montgomery have grave doubts concern ing Oakley's sincerity. The opinion of nine out of 10 men is that one of Oak ley's experience and large business con- nections would not have trusted the management of his personal affairs into the hands of a clerk, who was at the same time a state official. It is very generally agreed also that Oakley, if honest. would not have converted state funds to his own use on the theory that Lacy would make good the discrepancy by using money turned over to him by
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-03-12

his employer. Oakley may be innocent ot embezzlement, but the opinion pre- vails that he is making a very weak defense. In other words, hardly a man was heard to say tonight that he be- lieved Oakley's story
 And yet. the people throughout the state several days ago, read a statement from Theodore Lacy convicted of embez- zling state funds. to the effect that an- other was being made to suffer Lacy may have referred to oakley, the man whose confidence the defense will attempt to prove Lacy violated. If Lacys story. rather his engmatical statement. is be- lieved, then there may be some grounds for believing that Oakley is telling the truth.
 Time only will probably reveal the true facts in the case. Oakley may be in Tocent but there are few who believe it. There are few who believe that there was not conspiracy between the two to steal the states money.
 Developments of the next 24 hours may reveal many things heretofore unknown. They may lay bare a complete story of the convict department shortage. but it is doubted that these facts will he learned. Time only, it is believed, will reveal the entire story.

MADAME ISE'BELL'S
 BEAUTY LESSON
Lesson XI-Part TX PHYSICAL CULTURE Answers to Correspondents

MABEL1--A wash cloth of Turkish toweling is too rough for any skin and on a delicate skin will have a disas- trous effect. Use a square or soft linen and pass it through boiling water daily. Soiled or soap-caked wash cloths are great pimple breeders Never lose sight of the fact that the skin of the face is more delicate than that of any other part of the body, and that at the same time, 1t is exposed to every change of temperature as well as dirt and dust. Be careful to use always a pure soap and rinse it well off the skin. If the skin is inclined 10 be dry and rough, or to infame easily, dispense with soap entirely and cleanse the skin with a good cleansing cream or cold cream,
 |. A. l.. writes me that her eyebrows are both thin and pale in color and asks me to advise her as to dye. At any druggist you can get a cake of ink called Mascara, either in brown or black, and a small brush with which to apply it. This is not a permanent dye, but will come off with water. l should not advise using a permanent dye on the eyebrows At your age you can count on your eyebrows growing darker with time. Apply yellow vaseline night and morning and brush them with an eyebrow brush. If you cannot obtain this. ask your druggist for baby's tooth brush
 GRACE r. T.-There are many causes for pimples. Dried soap left on the face will clod a sebaceous gland and finally so irritate 1t that d pimple is the result. Indigestion, which infames the blood or impedes it's even circulation. will cause red pimples. For the hard red swell lings you complain of, paint them with colorless iodine soon as they appear This will generally remove the irrita- ton and they will subside; but remem- Der never to touch iodine to broken skin

Lunar Observation
 Prevented by Clouds

Washington, March 11.-Dense snow clouds tonight prevented the astronomers at the naval observatory here from mak- ing accurate observations of the moon S eclipse. Only at intervals when the winds separated the clouds could the astrono- mers train their powerful instruments di- rectly on the partially obscured planet Hope was expressed. however, that the photographs made after the moon had entered the shadow would reveal some points relating to the phenomenon that would be of assistance in correcting lunar tables.
 While "close' observations were im- possible. the great telescopes showed the moon entered the earth's shadow at pre- cisely 941 8-1O o'clock. and was more than nine-tenths obscured before it final ly emerged three hours later.

Nv JOHN NJ. EATON.

The movement for a greater in
d,,strta1 safety in these United States
has in the past year attained a mo-
nentum not hitherto equalled ny any
movement in the commercial world,
The slogan of Safety FIRST Is
rapidly becoming national molto-
individuals. great corporations. labor
organizations. societies, cities. counties
and States are pressing forward in an
organized effort 60 bring about
working day with fewer killed or
manned working men.
The minds of great engineering ana
mechanical geniuses are pe1nE
brought to bear In the solving or
complex problems arising as nat
ural result OF this agitation, white
the great educators are bending their
efforts TO the end that the rising gen
erations shall be properly instructed
to become factors IN this great prop
lem of the conservation of human life
and limb.
Tn the last year Detroit has taken
her Mace in the front rank of pro-
rressive American cities which have
given to this question serious thought,
and in her usual aggressive manner
has forged to the front so far as TO
now be a marked leader in the move
ment. This enviabfe position has
been made possible only by the hearty
spirit of cooperation shown by the
great industries within her borders.
Rivalry Reduces Accidents.
While Detroit has long been IA
yorably known as a city of clean,
well-lighted factories, where human
lie was conserved by all possible
means. there has arisen within the
last few years a good-natured RI
valry among her manufacturers which
has resulted in a campaign for bet
|terment Of working conditions and
reduction of work accidents. which in
turn has brought about condition
OF contentment among workers
cQualled in no other city In the world
In this campaign the great automo-
bile manufacturers have. as in all
other movements affecting the pros
perity and advancement of the city
Ilayed an important part. and while
no one of thema may have done more
| than the other and all have striven
| to bring about as near as possible
| an ideal condition, 1t may be said
! that the Cadillac Motor Car company
| plant, over whose 1000 employees pre-
sides that mechanical genius. Henry
