URGES ACTION ON
 RIDDEN HOTEL SITE.
Writer Points Out Impor- tance of Immediate Ac-
 ceptance by City
To the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 There is tide in the affairs of men
 which,
 Taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"
 Such time has undoubtedly come in the afafirs of this city. I refer to the utilizing of the Roden hotel property for an auditorinum, city hall and public li- brary. It is past comprehension how this opportunity can be turned down at this timel A favorable and prompt (and that means immediate) action by the city com mission and the people on this proposi- tion will result in the following advan- tages to this community:
 1. It will settle the auditorium prob lem, and settle it well. How can we put off this auditorium matter any longer. Birmingham will never become cul- tured and famed city without some place for public speaking and for conventions It is simply sinful not to provide an audi torium at once.
 2. It will be long step toward mak- ing Fifth avenue 8 show street of the city, a street of public buildings and hotels. With the fine looking terminal station at one end and this city hall building at eighteenth street, and the gov- ernment building, and splendid hotels in between, Birmingham can then boast of one beautiful business street. And beauty will be one Of the chief points of the cities of the future.
 3. It will make the present city hall central business property, and very valu- able. This is obvious.
 4. It will provide ample and fireproof quarters for the city officers and the public library.
 b. It will turn present eye-sore into splendid looking structure
 b. It will once more put real estate values in this city on firm and pros porous foundation; it will be the Water- loo of real estate stagnation, and be the beginning of a wonderfun1 era of growt h In this community. Following on the eve of the announcement of work begun or soon to be begun on the Birmingham Motor and Country club speedway, it will turn the tide in favor of the best timer this city ever knew.
 The city commission should not hesi- tate, the people should not hesitate in this matter. Imagine Atlanta with such an opportunity before her. She would hesitate about as long as it takes g. centimeter shell to go 1000 yards. have always heard that if you give a child all 1t wants, that the child grown to man. hood is never able to strike out for him. self, and make his way when the need arises. So. it seems, is Birmingham in quite few ways. Nature has petted her and loaded her with blessings but she dare not make an effort of her own. Sname on such spirit wherever found! CHARLES F. WHITE.

How to Safely
 Peel Your Face

If yov wear an aged. discolored or weather-beaten complexion, the most sensible thing to do is to remove It. rather than patch it over or doctor it with cosmetics. The only way to really remove the complexion-aside rom re, sorting to an expensive and painful surgical operation-is by means or ordi- nary mercolized wax. Spread the wax over the face at night, as you would cold cream; wash it off in the morning This gradually peels off the lifeless and the half-dead outer skin. in minute par the fresh young skin beneath beams forth. Then you have clear, velvety, healthy-hued complexion such as no unnatural method can pos sibly produce. Freckles, blotches, pim- ples-all surface defects due to weather ill-health or the ravages of time, of course disappear with the discarded skin. Ask he druggist for an ounce Of mercolized wax: you won't need more
 If you wear wrinkles or crowsfeet. the best thing to do is to brthe your face in a harmless lotion made by dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite in half pint witch hazel. Nothing else will so surely erase the unwelcome lines.

He aroused the greatest enthu-

The American people, Towne

"Sit down, Charlie, in the back

In any way you may view it,
this bill is unfair. unjust and dan

ing men commit violence, there is
ample remedy at law for such acts.
But to enact a statute which
denies to them the rights which
Judgment dictates to be
proper and necessary, amounts to
an outrage that might very easily
become very real danger to the
industrial peace of the country. To
deny men their natural rights pro-
notes violence. not peace and
quietude. 1t is physical impos-
sibility to clamp down lid upon
a community seething under OPP
preston without causing an explo-
sion.
The Washington legislature did
not investigate or consider this
legislation. The bill was hurriedly
introduced and referred to a hos
tile committee. No member of
the labor movement was permitted
to be heard upon its merits.
1t was rushed through the legis-
tive mill with unseemly haste,
and In a hostile spirit. 1t is the
weapon OF the tyrant, adopted by

The right to picket is essential
to securing an understanding OF
even hearing for many an indus
trial dispute. Cooperation and
unity of action among workers
must be based upon knowledge OF
facts and purposes.
Only by word of mouth or by
some device that appeals immedi-
ately to the eye, or by some adver-
Using agency can workers or
strikers disseminate quickly and
effectively facts and principles in
volved in their contest or the JUS
tice of their demands upon en-
ployers.
This proposed measure, which
denies the workers the right to
maintain. carry or transport on
any sidewalk, street, public. place
or private property any banner
sign, transparency, writing oil
printing, deprives the workers OF
their most effective means of get
ting facts before the public intel.
ligently upon their attitude toward
the strike or lockout.
Employers under the law car
secure publicity for their conten.
tions in an industrial dispute
through newspapers and Other
common agencies which find theil
way into homes and offices OF
of many citizens. Through their
economic power they bar such
agencies to the wage workers.
To deny the wage earners the
right to tell their story by word
of mouth in the streets, public
places is to deny them right
necessary to carry out the pur.
poses of the labor movement.
There can be nothing illegal OF
wrongful in securing hearing fol
the facts in a strike. Therefore
as citizens they have a right to use
streets, sidewalks, public highways
or public places for this Legitimate
activity necessary for furtherine
the welfare of human beings.

TEUTONIC
SMASH ON

(United Press Leased wire.)
LONDON, Oct. 17.-Aiming to
drive a wedge between the Rus
sian and Rumanian armies, the
Austro-Germans have launched a
great new offensive near the
northwestern frontier of Ru-
mania.
Strong Teutonic forces, ac-
cording to Petrograd dispatches.
are attacking the Russian front
south of Bukowina, near the point
where the Russians and Ruma-
mans have Joined hands.
The Austrian and German war
offices announce that the Rus
SLAMS have been driven back at
this point.
Berlin dispatches reported that
the Rumanians are falling back
across their own frontier.
Every indication points to the
beginning of Won Hindenburg's
widely heralded campaign to
crushed Rumania. The Teutonic
attacks have suddenly become
more violent south of Kronstadt,
where General Falkenhayn is try
ing to break through the Predeal
pass.
Southwest of Kronstadt the
Austro-Germans are attacking in
large force and heavy fighting is
going on on Rumanian soil.
