Birmingham may need this or that 10 bring here diversified industries, but the chief need in acquiring this much coveted goal is Sunday amusements, states ]. II. Doughty. general agent of the Frisco railroad.

SOME THING ROTTEN IN MEDICAL SOCIETY
 THINK MANY SOLONS
Association as Now Con- ducted Has Some Friends But Majority De-
 mand Change

The melodramatic exclamation of the prince of the Danes to the effect that in Denmark there was something rotten. may be applied in the present to the Med ical association of the state of Alabama, of the legislature.
 The associat ton. as it is presently con duoted, has some friends among the law makers. There are others like Dr. F. 1. Tarrant of Birmingham who believe that positive action. though not drastic or ruinous action should be taken But the majority of those interviewed by represen- tatives of The Age Herald agree with Senator Hartwell. Representative Fite of Tuscaloosa. Representative Greene or Dallas. Representative Roberson of St Clair, Representative Thompson of But Ter and various others, that the politics which have controlled the association and directly, as a result, the health depart ment must be eliminated.
 Senator Thomas J. Judge of Jefferson stated yesterday that he would heartily support the bill proposed tor adoption in Alabama by Dr. William c. Gorgas. That bill, as has been explained, would put the election of a health officer in the hands of the delegates attending the conventions of the association rather than in the hands of the 100 self-perpetuating counselors The bill would not restrict the selection Of a health officer to the membership of the college of counselors, but would permit the election of the most famous available sanitaran In the United States.
 Tn matters as important to all the people as health" said Senator Judge yesterday, ''it is necessary that all poll ties be eliminated Alabama has not made strides forward in conserving the health of the state. Alabama has not even kept records of deaths and births to such an extent as to permit it being placed in the registration area On the lace of things. it is foolish to limit the selec- ton of health officer to any 100 men. We should get the most expert sanitarian in America is possible. As l understand it. under the law of the college of coun- selors we could not avail ourselves of the services of Dr. Gorgas or Surgeon Gen eral Blue were they rendered.
 Such conditions must be eliminated Tor the good of the people now and to be.

classes of people stand some chance of securing their amusement and re- taxation during the week and the high est class is permitted 10 play on Sun day because he has an automobile or a country club or something to play with. The slSiled-laborer Is the only man left out of the scheme of things here in Birmingham, the very skilled laborer whom we want to operate our needed small industries and whom we've got to have.
 ''I tell you, it's time the govern mental authorities of this town are waking np to facts The civic organi- zations and railroads are doing all they can under the circumstances. If the city officials are 10 run the city ac- cording to the dictates of moral and religious fadists and refofmers, It $ time for business interests to quit
 Mind you 1 don't wish to belittle the church and the minister in their proper places I'm not advocating vice and corruption, open saloons, gambling houses and such dives. say let have clean. moral, manly Sunday amuse- ments. That's what the modern mo- ton picture show theatre, baseball, vaudeville and things of that sort are, and we'll never be an industrial me- tropolis until we get them
 Many people consider these matters of small importance, but I believe it effects every citizen of Birmingham and the development of the whole dis trict."

To Have Perfect Skin
 Throughout the Summer

These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt. the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoiling effects are best over come by the application of pure mer- colized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the complexion beautifully white and spotless. Discol- ored, freckled and roughened cuticle are actually absorbed by 1t. One ounce Of mercolized wax, obtainable at any drug store is sufficient to completely repo- vate a soiled complexion. It is used like cold cream. allowed to remain on over night. and washed off in the morning.
 As the skin tends to expand in warm weather, causing wrinkles to form, a good .astringcnt lotion should ne used pt. witch hazel. Bathe the face in this during the heat of the day or before going out for theatre CT social affair, t wrinkle eraser.

 Both sides, it Is believed, would he glad were 1t made unnecessary to hold the referendum election Monday. For that election would be extra-legal in that 1t would not come under the head of elections regularly provided for by law. The commissioners take this vsew although they are certain that the peo- pie would overwhelmingly defeat the tiN iNe-eommissioner bill. the demerits of which have been so pitilessly shown up.
 Although the indications are that there will be no election Monday, tho opponents of the five commissioner bill determined to destroy it if given an opportunity. are sleeninR on their arms If plans miscarry, they will flock to the tolls and there register protest against what is construed to be proposed blow to local self government and homo rule.

 One of The Age Heralds correspon- dents has stated in letter tothe edi- tor that he would vote for five com missfoners although he personally favored three. He gave as reason the fact that one of his friends was a candidate for the commission and were there more places to be filed more propitous would be his oppor- tunity to realize his hope.
 This would tend to prove the contention of the opponents of the commissioner plan that the advocates of thAt plan are those who would punish the comms- sioners, those who still adhere to the al dermanic plan, officeseelers and friends Of offioeseekers.
