l6 BILLIONS IN LIBERTY LOANS

Three Great Drives Planned to Provide Funds for Fi- nancing War Opera

Washington, August 17.-Tenta.ive plans of the treasury provide for three big Liberty Loan campaigns within the next year. each 10 raise 5000, 900 or hnore, 1t was learned today. The first win De from September B to October 1s, as has been announced the following Is planned for January or February, and Ehe third in May or June. Thus pro- gramrne will be necessary, it is cx- plained. to provide the s1s.ooo, ,ooo, 900 which officials estimate will be required to finance war operations during the year, in addition to the ss,ooo, 900 which may be provided by the new revenue bill now being drafted.
 If government expenses and loans to Ehe allies fall much below the s24, ,ooo, COG .oC0 estimate, the government is expected to try to combine two loans into one big campaign for the largest credit ever sought by any nation. Such a campa gn would be set for some time in the late winter
 Money needs between loan periods will be financed by sale of shoFt-term certifi- cates of indebtedness, as in the past. In addition, the treasury looks for a steady Inflow of money from tax certificates, which banks and corporations probably will buy in billion dollar quantities as a means of virtually paying their taxes in advance.
 Every effort will be made by the treas ury to make the number of loans as few, and the time of financial rest be- tween the campaigns as long, as possi- ble Officials would much rather have only one more big solicitation in addi- ton to the fourth campaign to start late next month, than two before the end of the fiscal year next June 90.
 One particular season in which the treasury wishes to avoid floating popu- lar loans is the Christmas holidays and the following weeks of comparative com mercial inactivity, when there Is danger also of curtailed industrial activity on account of bad weather. Another bad time for loans is the spring planting sea- son, when farmers are busy and business men have less time than usual to devote to campaigning. The third period to be avoided is June, when huge war taxes will have to be paid
 No plans for future Liberty Loans ran be formulated definitely many weeks in advance, owing to the uncertainty of the volume of government expenditures. Consequently, the programme now in the minds of treasury officials is highly tentative. An example of the fluctua- tons of expenditures is the fact that with August more than half gone, the allies have called for only $1 ,0C0.0o0 loan payments, d little more than one-thir1 the usual rate of borrowing.

How to Look and Feel
 Bright in Hot Weather

When depressed by the heat and you want to freshen up for the afternoon or evening, just bathe the face in a lotion made By dissolving an ounce of pure noWdered saxolite in a half pint of witch hazel. You will find this more refreshing than an hours rest. As wrinkle remover the .saxolite lotion is remarkably successful. It's action is almost magical. The deepest furrows, as well as the finest lines whether due to age, illness, weather or larged pores are reduced, flabby skin is
 'sdrawn in,' facial contour is improved wonderfully. The simple ingredients or course can be had at any drug store, and you need not hesitate to try the lotion, as it will not harm any skin in the least-Adv

 Birmingham is recognized as the most advantageously located city in the south for successful manufacturing. the prin- cipal reason being that coal. electric power, gas, wood, etc, can be secured at the minimum cost Coal mines of all kinds. capacity, quality, etc, are prac- tically within the corporate limits. Coal, therefore, moves to the consumer on a switching rate. Electric power, gener- $ated by water from the dams on the Warrior river, insures an ever-ready sup ply, and at the lowest cost.
