"oPEN YOUR EYES"
U. S. Health Service Picture at Opera
House September 8.


U. S. Health Service Picture at Opera
House September 8.
Hailed by medical authorities, edu-
Gators and social workers everywhere
as one of the greatest productions of
the kind ever made, open Your
Eyes" the flaming dramatic thunder
bolt prepared under the supervision
of the United States public health ser
vice as part OF campaign lin behalf
of a clean, nation and a country made
safe for posterity." comes to the
opera house Wednesday, September
3.
In world, the purpose of the film
is to show parents the necessity OF
acquainting their children with all
important facts OF life.
"Open Your Eyes" is a throbbing
drama OF youth, love, disillusionment
suffering and medical quackery. n
is a picture with double purpose
The drama proper is prefaced by a
prologue prominent physician,
who is aiding the government in It's
benefcent work, is shown lecturing
to men of his profession. Portions
of his address are filmed. That par
ent5 should be the first in combating
the evil by talking with their sons
and daughters at the critical stage is
strenuously insisted upon.
Practical lessons are then given by
means OF story The central figures
are two young women, just budding
into won lnhood. The one finds her
mother her confdante, the other is
allowed to investigate the mysteries
of life without any guiding hand to
help her. The result is inevitable.
One girl avoids the pitfalls that trap
the unwary, the othe rlearns her
lesson in the bitter, cruel school of
experience.

COUNTY BOARD ID
 ACT ON SCHOOL TAX Election for Three-Mill School Tax to Be De-
 cided on Today

\ Action upon the petition of the city of Birmingham requesting an election for voting upon a 3-mll school tax for pe- rod of 10 years will be taken at the call
 meeting of the Jefferson county board of education in the courthouse this aft
 ernoon at l o'clock.
 The city board of education has pre-
 pared a petition for the city of Birming-
 ham proposing to submit to the people for vote upon the local 3-mill school tax to take the place of the 3-mill tax voted sometime ago, but declared uncon- stitutional by the supreme court because the period for which it was voted ex- ceeded the time for which the county had previously voted.
 Upon approval by the county board the | petition will be submitted to the board of revenue, asking that an election be called as early as possible to vote upon 1 the tax. It is expected that upon ap- | proval of the board of education that I the board of revenue will give the petition
 a hearing Wednesday.
 l A site for the proposed four to six | room school building to be erected at Cottage Hill will probably be acted upon at the county board of education meet | ing this afternoon. It is probable that
 the board will go to Cottage Hill to in- spect the sites offered.

SUFFRAGE SYSTEM REQUIRES
 NO CHANGE, SAYS LAWYER

There need be no immediate or pros pective revision of the present suffrage system. either by legislation or consti- tutional amendment, upon the ratification of the suffrage amendment. according to a statement issued by James Weatherly, reputed to be one of the ablest constitu- tional lawyers in the state
 The qualifying clauses, as well as the disqualifying clauses, now relating to men will apply equally to women, the statement says, except the single dis qualifications of sex, and the entire mechanism of the present system under which men now vote will be equally avail ble to women.
 These conclusions are based on the de- cisons of the United States supreme court, according to Mir. Weatherly, in terpreting the effect on state suffrage systems on the fifteenth amendment to the federal constitution.

INVESTIGATION OF
 SWITCHING CHARGES
Local Company Alleges Discrimina- ton by the Railroad
 Administration

The hearing of the case of the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry com pany against Walker D. Hines, director general, and various rail carriers of the railroad administration. was opened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the Tut wiler hotel by G. F. Graham of the in terstate commerce commission.
 It is alleged that the defendant lines have discriminated against the United States Gas: Iror and Foundry company in the manner of switching charges at it's plant, and asks that the switching be done at the expense of the railway lines. CT that req sonable allowance be made to the company fer doing such switching with it's own equipment. It is also claimed that the previous actions of the railway ines ir this respect have caused undue discrimination against the company with undue preference to other indus trial enterprises in this city.
 The hearing of the case was expected to last well into today. The United States Cast Iron and Foundry company is rep resented by Wilmer F. Wood of Phi 2, delphia, and Evans Browne of Wash ington, D. C., while the defendant is represented by w. A. Northcutt of Louis vile.

The amendment will be self-executins to the extent of eliminating of it's own force. the disqualification of women, as women, and of automatically applying to women all those affirmative provisions whereby men are admissible to the right of suffrage" the statement says. Must we deny our splendid womanhood the right and the privilege of sharing witt us our burdens and of helping us work out plan of salvation when they apply for their own political enfranchisement and their admission into the fold of de- mocracy?
 "The slow centuries have brought to woman more and more of freedom and of iudividuality-along with the growth ot democracy. Her complete enfranchise- nient is a postulate of democracy. We cannot resist it, if we would, and our very necessities in this land of the south demand tiat we extend to her the rights, privileges and benefits, as well as the burdens of which our state constitution is the organic expression.
