CONTEMPT CASE IS
 ID BE HEARD TODAY
Waterworks Co.'s Lawyers and City Attorneys to Ar
 gue Before Grubb

Judge w. l. Grubb returned yesterday afternoon from Gadsden where he has been holding district court. This morn- ing at 10 o'clock he will take up the con tempt proceedings brought by the Bir- mingham Waterworks company against the city commissioners and other city of ficials. Briefs and authorities were sub- mitted by Attorney Percy Walker, repre- senting the company, and Capt. Romaine Boyd for himself and city commissioners on Monday morning. Judge Grubb stated at the hearing Saturday that he would review the papers while in Gadsden and would be ready for the arguments this morning.
 The petition asking that the city of ficials be cited for contempt followed the filing of petition for an injunction in the state courts by Earl McLin seeking to re- strain the company from enforcing cer- tain rates. This the petitioners allege was in contempt of the United States court from which restraining order had been issued to prevent the city from en- forcing an ordinance regulating water rates. Capt. Romaine Boyd and M. M. Ullman are named as attorneys in the McLin case.

Best Treatment for
 All Complexion Ills

I'll tell you my panacea for all com plexion troubles. If the skin be colorless, sallow. muddy, over-red if 1t be rough, chapped, blotchy. pimply or freckled there's nothing that will so surely over- come the condition as ordinary mercol- ixed wax. The wax literally takes off q bad complexion--absorbs the dead and near- dead particles of surface skin. so gently. gradually. you experience no fn- convenience at all. A new complexion Is then in evidence, one so clear spotless delicately soft and beautiful you look many years younger. One ounce of this wax. proourable at any drug store, will reJuvenate even the worst complexion. It is smeared on like cold cream before retiring and removed mornings with warm water. The meroolized wax habit is a healthier and more economical ono than the cosmetic habit.
 If the skin be wrinkled or orss.ed. bathe it daily o in s9iTs,oa msde Sx dts. in. half pint witch hazel. This aots immediately, affecting syen the dssp- est wrinkles.-Elsie Desmond, In Beauty E. Mirror.

GERMANS PREDICT
RUSSIAN RETREAT

Berlin, Nov. 24.-All the Berlin
newspapers comment favorably and
very hopefully on the possible out
come Of the fighting in Poland. They
express the opinion that these engage
ments may decide the entire Russian
campaign, If not the outcome of the
war.
The Lokal Anzieger has published
an interview with an officer who
speaks for the military authorities.
He says that in consequence Of the
rolling up of the Russian right wing
by General Won Hindenberg and the
simultaneous attack of the Austrians
on the Russian left general Russian
retreat, with the evacuation of Lem
berg, is only a question Of time.
In their previous attack, this officer
says, the enemy operated in accord
ance with their program, but they have
been forced to give up their war plans
and face an entirely different sitna-
ton. Existing conditions were fore
seen by the German and Austrian
commanders.

CARNEGIE AND HILL
DIFFER ON OUTLOOK

New York, Nov. 2J.-AndreW Car
negie, who is celebrating his seventy.
ninth birthday today, said that the
United States was entering a great
era of national prosperity; that Eu.
rope would have to buy supplies from
the United States and that he agreed
with Charles NJ Schwab's views on
prosperity.
James j. Hill takes a less optimistic
view of conditions. He said that the
business Of the country generally was
depressed. He did not attribute this
so much to fear over the effects OF
the tariff revision as to federal and
state legislation with respect to rail.
roads and corporations in general.
"The foundation Of the business OF
the railroads is the exchange Of COM
modities::" said Mr Hill. When this
is not in progress, as between indi'
viduals, companies and others, the
traffic of the roads must suffer. This
is what is happening now.
"There will be a great demand for
money from Europe for long time,
and as the governments of European
countries will be in urgent need OF
funds they will be willing to pay
higher rates than have prevailed In
this country Naturally, therefore.
borrowers here will be compelled to
pay higher rates. This will impose an
additional burden upon the railroads.

py City Of Mexico.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Plans for
an eleventh hour abandonment OF
Mexico City to the Zapata forces
we're frustrated by General Lucio
Blanco, according to confidential re-
ports received at the state depart

General Carranza ordered the cap

time tearing up the railroads north

the Villa troops. An official report
speaks of three mediated atrocities"
and an intention to leave the capital
to be sacked. The purpose OF this
move was not disclosed.
General Obregon, according to the
official reports, ordered General Blan-

officer Blanco took full command, po-
Iced the city and appointed municipal
officers to avert disorders.
Confidence in Blanco's ability to
arrange for an orderly entry of VII
las troops is felt, it is stated.
