 When appraised that it was possible that municipal authorities of Birming- ham. might not hail with delight the transferrence of the medical college to Birmingham, Dr. Denny said.
 There are other places. This is the first thought which suggests itself There is Tuscaloosa, for instance"
 He did not add, however, that he would bend his emery towards acquir- ing the medical unit for the city of the university. When asked if he did not thing that all that remained to be done was to wage through Dr. E. P. Hogan legislative battle for the medical col lege's transference. the president de- clared that he would not discuss that phase of the situation.

LESSON IN SCIENTIFIC
 COMPLEXION RENEWING

Everyone has beautiful skin under meath the one exposed to view Bear that in mind and 1t will be easier to understand the correct principle in ac- Quiring lovely complexion. Nature is constantly shedding the top skin in f1aky particles like dandruff, only much omaller in size. In abnormal conditions. or In advancing age, these particles are not shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The longer they remain the more eotled or faded they become-that's the immediate cause of a bad complexion ?
 It has been discovered that ordinary mercOlized wax, to be had at any drug store, will absorb these worn-out par ticles. The absorption, while hnstening enough to cause no inconvenience. Tn a week or two the trnnsforrration is com plete. The fresh, healthy -hued, youth- 3ul uude rslSin is then wholly in evil dence. You who are not satisfied with your complexion should get an ounce ment. Use. the wax nightly. like cold eroAms washing 1t off morninGs.

 Senator Moody was of the opinion that the situation WAS getting clearer and that before the fall crop was fully mar keted there will have been arranged a scheme of financing which will fully take care of the farming interests
 Mir. Jackson said the meeting in Mont gomery this morning would be routine one, at which some of the necessary de- tails of the situation in this state would be attended.

The present roofs are in had condition and will soon have to be replaced with new ones and as they are replaced they must be made ffreprOOf. The building conditions Of the city. as MT.

 Gross Negligence
 Gross I1egl gence in my opinion. is the cause of the big fire losses of this city" said NJ. P. Messer of the Mes ser Real Estate and Insurance com- pany. Fires are just like disease; they
 
 fires in my estimation, are signs of bad housekeeping. If people would watch their stoves and furnaces and lighting apparatus the same as they watch their pocketbooks from thieves there would net be a big fire loss. It is largely relessness. The public doesn't seem to care.
 "The building laws of the city 1t ap- pears are very good and are enforced. attribute the fires largely to the dis interest of property owners, the fires being crused by careless and ineffi- cient employees and servants left in charge of pi crnises. Both residence and store owners are responsible on this score. l believe.
 of course. the fire department is not large cneugn for the area Of the city. It is simply impossible for it to cover the territory. The department believe. is efficient and we'll equipped, what there is of 1t. but there isn't enough"

THEN. and......NOW

Sixty years ago today the United scientific expedition for exploring and charting the Southern Seas. The squadron of five vessels and a store ship set sail from Norfolk, Va. Its chief, Commander Charles Wilkes. was aboard the flagship, the Vincen- nes, which was to carry him around the earth during the next four years. ledsureIy journey in which he stop he sailed norff1Ward along the coast of California at the time when it was under Spanish rule. He continued onward to the present states of Ore gon and Washington. He arrived in Honolulu at the time when the Ha- Waiian Islands were about to fall in to the hands of the Frencf-but Wilkes made it so evident that the United States would tolerate no such event that Hawaii remained an Ann erican appanage. In Samoa he drew up a treaty with the tribal chief thai gave to the United States one of ifs most valuable naval coaIing stations He displayed such force in the Phil ippines that its influence remained ef- fective to the day when the Amea.- jeans came to occupy it a half cen tury later. Upon his return he an nOunced that he had discovered a new continent in the Antarctic re- giOns which he gave the name of Wilkes Land. His claim was heraId ed with ridicuIe and it became a suF- ject of bitter controversy.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1914-08-17

Today practically all the worlds seas have been charted; but about 7,- 100000 square miles, OF one-eighth of the total land surface of the earth, are still unknown to the white man. The great American explorer stands vindicated and the Antarctic contin- ent is an established fact. Explorers have not only proved that there is a Wilkes Land but have discovered the South Pole The examples set by Wilkes in the Antarctic has been emu lated in the Arctic and today the North Pole is also an established fact. Today. also, the Pacific ocean is great highway of commerce and its travel is based upon the accurate knowledge gathered by Wilkes. Every ship finding its way through the un- lighted mazes of the South Sea is guided by the surveys of the United has become known historically. The United States still has an unexcelIed naval station in the mfd-Paeific which is due to the bIue-paper treaty with it's quiH-penned agreement drawn up by Wilkes and the barbar- ian chief because of the decisive ac- ton of the American explorer, Ha- waii today is an American territory and not French possession. The South Sea island natives remember 'tthe American as they called Wilkes, to this day. According to thesr myths he taught them hospi- tality which they practice today by sending the fairest of their maidens to greet the stranger with yaIns and bamboo tubes of water.
