Tan, Red or Freckled
Skin Is Easily Shed

To free your summer-sciled skin Of its
muddiness. freckles, blotches or tan, the
best thing to do is to free yourself Of the
skin itself. This is easily accomplished by
the use of ordinary mercolized wax, which
can be had at any drug store. Use at night
as you use cold cream, washing It off In
the morning. Immediately the offending sur
face skin begins to come off In fine powder
like particles. Gradually the entire cuticle is
absorbed, without pain or inconvenience. The
second layer Of skin now in evidence pre-
sents a spotless wilderness and sparkling
beauty obtainable in no other way.
II the heat tends to loosen and wrinkle
your skin. there's an effective and harmless
remedy you can readily make at home. Just
let an ounce Of powdered saxolite dissolve in
a half-pint witch hazel and battle your face
in the liquid. This at once tightens the
skin and smooths out the lines, making you
look years Observation-Disclosures

Sculptor Here Who Has Done Much to Spread Fame of
 Alabama Product
FIRST SCULPTURE
 SHOWN AT ST. LOUIS
Story of His First Meeting With AIabamians and Plans for Crea-
 ton of Vulcan for Exposition
By ELLIS c. HoLLUMs

G. Moretti of New York, the d:scoverer of Alabama marble is registered at the Tutwiler, and will be in Birmingham for several days.
 MT Moretti is we'll known to Birming- ham people, as, indeed he is famed in ternationally for his works Of art He is sculptor of more than usual note, and for F years past has been using Alabama white marble exclusively for his productions. He is the designer of "Vul- can," the huge man of iron which rests at the Fair Grounds, symboical of the might of iron and steel, and his works in sculpture have gained for him inter- national recognition.
 MT. Moretti is intensely interested in Alabama marble and it was he who first discovered that the Alagama product was the equal of the Italian product from the mountains of Carrara. He visited Bir- mingham for the first time 12 years ago for the purpose of examining reported outcroppings of marble, and made ad- dresses before the Chamber of Commerce, or what was then the Commercial club, in effort to interest local capital in Quarrying marble he had discovered in what was then known as Marble Valley (noW Talladega Springs)

stitutional government taking the place of the imperial form. He predicted revo luton in Russia with installation of a republican form of government These changes, he admitted, were suggested as possibilities, but certainly there would be reforms in European government The United States, he said, was destined tc become democracy with greater privi- leses to the individual and less privi- leges to wealth and organized combina- tions. In the changes of the future, Sen ator Lewis asserted, the United States would take the lead and the lawyers of America would be the holders of the progressive thought of the world There is no doubt that there will be vast changes not merely in the map of Flu rope, but in the system of government Nor is there any doubt that these changes will have their effect upon America The United States can be safeguarded only by the foresight of it's own statesmen and preparation for it's industrial, as well as its military protection.

LEEM|NG BELIEVES
 IN PREPAREDNESS
Says Congress Ought to
 Pass All Army Increase Bills

George w. Leeming, local represents tive of the United States Rubber com pany, is of the opinion that Congress could not do better by the United States than by passing all pending bills look ing to the strengthening of the army and navy. MT. Leeming says that the preparedness movement is one of the greatest ever started in this country. ard one of the most important.
 And practically the entire country favors the preparedness movement . said MT. Leeming yesterday. "Especial- ly is this true of all men engaged in manufacturing, whether they be manu- lecturers or employees of manufacture CTS. There are more than 000, 600 men engaged in the rubber industry, and I venture the assertion that every man of them is heartily in favor of the army and navy increase bills proposed by the President. And I venture the further assertion that most of this 100000 have written to their various repre- sentatives in the halls of Congress urg- ing them to support the measures pro- posed.
 "It is serious thing for the United States to be unprepared to rerel in- vasion, or, if necessary, to be in posi- tion to assume an aggressive position. Eighty per cent of the raw material used in the manufacture of rut Der is grown in English colonial possessions. If at any time England chose to do so, ar embargo could be declared on rub Der and the American industry would be crippled.
 Many of the rubber manufacturing 3 companies own plantations in rubber producing countries. The company I represent has $20, ,000, 900 plantation in Sumatra. If some foreign power were to take possession of this island our investment would be lost. The com . pany's employees favor preparedness be- cause it means to them a continuance of their right to earn living without tEe fear Of molestation from outsiders. You will find that practically every em : ployed man feels the same way about it."

met with the same incredulity as to the
 origin of the marble. When dealers be-
 came convinced that the marble was really from Alabama they declared that they did not believe it would ever be possible to quarry such lovely marble in Sufficient quantity to put on the market.

outcrop. He went on many drives and long walks, carrying always hammer
 and chisel to chip off samples. There were several places showing a crude attempt at quarrying, but the quarries were abandoned.
 The only quarry then in operation was near Sylacauga. In the course of his prospecting from Talladega Springs, MT. Moretti reached this quarry. The marble,
 for such MT. Moretti knew it to be, was
 being taken fro mthe ground by means of
 blasting with dynamite, a process show ing complete ignorance of the value of the material and the proper methods of procuring it. MT. Moretti begged the peo- pie not to blast with the dynamite any more for the shocks would shatter not only their own marble but that sur rounding it also. He explained to them something of the nature of marble and how to quarry it. On his return to Bir- mingham from each of his prospecting trips he tested the samples he had col lected and noted where he had taken each.
 trips MT. Moretti decided that the marble must be confined to a long, narrow belt lying across several counties. He then determined to make more thorough and systematic investigation and to get if possible some larger pieces to see if the marble would be of fine enough quality to use for sculpture.
 FIRST SCULPTURED PIECE
 In the meantime the casting of the Vul- can was progressing rapidly. The figure was destined to represent the iron indus tries of Birmingham at the St. Louis ex- position, and was for this reason being cast in the Birmingham foundries. These however, at that time were not equipped for artistic work and Mir. Moretti real ized that a great deal of the artistic value of his beautiful model would be lost through the fitting together and riveting of the vast sections He formed the idea that if it should be possible to carve work of art in the marble that the test of the value of the marble would prove it an important product of the state and therefore it ought to accom- pany the Iron Man" to the exposition He felt that as his Vulcan was too enor- nous to be cast with justice to it's artistic merit he would, in the marble, show the beauty of his artistic conception.
 He was fortunate in securing a block large enough for a bust. He had the block brought to his studio in Brming- ham and carved there his "Head of Christi the first piece of sculpture ever made in the Alabama marble The Head of Christ" in the St. Louis exposition represented a beautiful but unknown re- source or Alabama ana created great sensation. Marble importers again made the accusation that it was Italian mar ble. This tribute to the marble was a great satisfaction to MT. Moretti and. in addition, the Head of Christ" was awarded a silver medal for it's artistic merit. The grace and beauty of the head represented to Mir. Moretti's mind, and to that of others, the lovely, fine character of the marble, and the colossal Vulcan represented the stupendous might of iron
 MT Morett then took samples of the marble to New York and there he was

MEETS BIRMINGHAM MEN

In 1904 committee from Birmin gham visited him in his studio in regard to having him model the statue Vulcan for the St. Louis exposition.
 These gentlemen noticed the samples of marble in the studio and one remarked that in Alabama there was a fine white marble very like the Italian marble.
 Mr. Moretti said, Are you sure you have white marble of the quality of the Italian in your state?''
 Well" he replied, T do not know whether 1t is marble or not but it is A very beautiful white stone''
 On inquiry MT. Moretti learned that the suppose marble was then being used in the manufacture of steel and for making roads. On the completion of the model for the Vulcan, MT. Moretti came to Alabama to carry the model and to be here to inspect the iron castings of the same. This was MT. Morettrs first visit to Alabama and he was so pleasantly impressed that he resolved to remain in- definitely.
 After establishing his studio in Birming- ham he made inquiry concerning the mar ble of which he had heard as told above. He relates a most interesting incident in regard to the marble It seems at the time that the great shaft was to be built in Washington,~the government asked for each state having marble among it's re- sources to send a block to be used in the shaft block was sent from Ala bama and was rejected at first on the accusation that the marble was Italian product. This story aroused MT. Mo- retti's interest still more and he deter mined to investigate the marble possibil- ity. Except for the story he could get little information. No one seemed to know anything about the marble.
 MT. Moretti began his inspection at what was known as Marble valley. in Talladega county. If anyone remembered having seen an outcrop of stone" MT. Morettl learned as nearly as possible the location and went to the place pointed out and broke samples of the material. studied the general lay of the land, and indications were favorable, took notes to return there to dig pits to see he depth of the deposit surrounding the
