DEFENDS WORK OF
 THE PURIFY SQUAD Chief Eagan Denies That Disorderly House Condi-
 ti0ns Are Bad

Two changes were announced last night at police headquarters in the detective department the shakerup ae- curing among that gFoup of oftieess known as the purity squad, It Is un- derstood that these changes were the result of complaints filed by Mrs, Wil- son Searight, head of the welfare de- partment, in Wednesdays conference with the commission of the city of Bir- mingham.
 Chief Eagan stated last night that officers J. A. Eilard and T, R. Will Hams had been placed in uniform and Policemen T, A. Riley and W. l.. Mitch ell substituted and stated further that this sten had been taken on his own judgment, giving in explanatloil the following statement;
 "offioers Williams and Ellard have both rendered long and valuable rery- ice to tho city and their integrity in my estimation Is beyond question but 1t Is often better to change men from enc department to another, as better ment of the service Is sometimes se- cured in this manner without decided injury to the standing of the indi- yiduals thus transferred.
 Ut Is true that there have been ru- mors in circulation to the effect that disorderly houses were extremely num- erous and were being run wide open in Birmingham without proper police tn- terferepoe, but I wish to deny this charge In unqualified words. There ara fewer disorderly houses in the oity of Birmingham than in any other city Of its size in the United States, and the police of this city are as efficient in expressing vice of this nature as those of any other city. There win all ways, of course, be some complaint in this regard, for evil houses can never be altogether suppressed in any large community. The purity squad of this city has been especially efficient in tbia raUard

TO HAVE COMPLEXION

"A man may admit, with great sophis- tication, that powder and rouge are nee essary aids to beauty" writes the Countess of Wenick, yet deep in his heart he dreams of the woman whose ioveliness needs no artificial touching up Women who appreciate this. who give consideration to the masculine viewpoint avoid using anything that their own.
 Such women in increasing number are acquiring the meroolized wax habit By applying the wax at night as they would cold cream, washing 1t off in the morning, they secure, and maintain, en- tirely natural compilations. Their faces exhibit no evidence of having been 'beautified.' Nothing is added to the old complexion-the latter, instead, is dis carded.

is directly responsible for the btg or der going to foreign concern rather than to Birmingham. Only MT. Jack son did not state as emphatieally as I would the harm being done by tho Underworld Simmons hill.
 "If it had not been for the war in Europe incidents like the Illinois Cen tral order would be plentiful and the situation arising from the democratic tariff act would only he that much more serious.H
 T only have this much to say said James Bowron, president of the Gulf States Steel company, and one af the pioneer developers in the iron and steel industry of the south. Tine AL gonna Illinois Central incident only is another evidence of the rotten folly of the democratic party in passing the Underwood tariff bill.
