For the Good of
 the Community

Y AST Saturday, and again Sunday,
 there were large crowds in Capitol park, drawn there on the former occasion to hear one of Alabama's United States senators discuss good roads, and the latter to hear the community singing
 Some years ago three monuments were erected in the park, one to commemorate the deeds of the men who fought for their homes in the Civil war; one to commemor- ate a distinguished citizen of Birmingham who had risen to the top of his profession surgery, and the third, to honor the mem- ory of beloved woman who gave twenty five years of her life to the boys and girls of Birmingham
 The persons whose deeds were thus com- memorated deserved this recognition and the people of Birmingham are to be con- mended for this visible and lasting expres- sion of their appreciation.
 But these statues have been neglected They are dirty and unattractive as they stand today. Boys and girls have been permitted to climb all over them, deposit ing great flakes of mud, defacing and otherwise marring their appearance
 It is bad enough to let the park be lit tered up with papers and other trash, but at least some care should be given the memorials which were intended not only to perpetuate the memories of our heroes and men and women who attained promi- hence in their professions, but to adorn and beautify the park as we'll
 Covered with mud and dirt, scratched and defaced, they are anything but orna- ments.
 It is evident that a care taker for the park, not only Capitol park, but all the others, is badly needed East park, at Twenty fourth street; West park at Seven teenth street, and all the other parks in the city present an equally unkempt appear ance.
 Birmingham people are justly proud of their city, of the beautiful residence dis tricts on the South Highlands Norwood and other sections, but they certainly can not take much pride in their parks as they now are.
 At a time when other cities throughout the country are giving much attention an@ spending large sums of money in the inn provement and beautifying of their parks and public playgrounds, Birmingham should not tolerate further continuance of existing conditions at her parks.

SAGE TEA DANDY
TO DARKEN HAIR
Look years younger! Use the old
time Sage Tea and Sulphur and
nobody will know.

You can turn gray, faded hair
beautifully dark and lustrous almost
over night if you'll get bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com,
pound" at any drug store. Millions
of bottles Of this old famous Sage
Tea Recipe, improved by the addi-
ton of other ingredients, are sold
annually, says a well-known drug
gist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have a surprise
awaiting them, because after one or,
two applications the gray hair van
ishes and your locks become luxu-
riantly dark and beautiful.
This is the age off youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound tonight and you'll be de-
lighted with your dark, handsome
hair and your youthful appearance
within a few days.-Adv.

Luxuriant Tresses Are Not Nece3-
cary for a Smart Couture, Blu.
Those One Has Must Be Exs~
quisitely Arranged.

Do you mind taking off your hat,
at the theater or anywhere else il
public? Or do you feel that You
look so much better with your
hat on" and prefer to wear it when
ever there is the least excuse? If
you do, it is fairly certain that you
do not give all the attention to your
couture that you should.
A good many women would like
TO have prettier hair and more
smarty arranged hair, but do not
know just how to effect a change
for the better in their own trcsses.
They admire, wistfully. the exquis-
itely dressed locks of the woman
who never minds removing her hat.
and they wish they had hair as well
kept and as naturally beautiful as
hers. But they haven't-and that's
all there is about it! Now in nine
cases out of ten they could have
just as attractive hair, and the rea-
son they have not--and always keep
a hat on if possible-is pure lazi-
ness!
A good many women deny this
Indignantly; but it is the truth new
ertheless. There are very few
heads of hair that are so hopeless
that a smart couture is impossible
If one takes the trouble; but un-
less hair is naturally beautiful and
OF good quality, more or less trou-
bic is necessary to keep it in per-
feet order. This trouble the aver
age, busy woman is unwilling to
take. All we'll and good if she can
afford to pay for regular hair-trea
nerts, for shampoos, marcel-wav-
ings and couture arrangements on
special occasions; or for the serv-
ices of competent maid who will
keep the rccalcitrant locks in order.
But the average woman cannot af-
ford these things and any trouble
taken with her hair must be taken
by herself.
How much time do you spend on
your hair? Many a woman spends
substantial sums OH dental work;
visits manicure regularly so that
her hands are always in dainty Son-'
ditioh, and buys creams and cosmet-
les for her complexion; yet gives so
little thought to her hair that an in
vitation to big affair is positively
worrisome, because of that perfect
couture which her grand toilette is
going to demand, and which she
knows she is not going to be able
to achieve.
Wise is she whose locks are al
ways in such perfect condition that
they take the way they should go
on all occasions and cause no spe-
cial worry or misery at time when
one is already worried enough, try

in disposing of the excess quantity.
Study all the pictures of evening
hairdressings, presented today, and
you will see that not one of these
three charming coiffures requires
long and heavy hair. The secret
lies in the quality, not the quantity
of the hair.
To make a smart coiffure--es-
pecially an evening couture which is
more or less waved and curled-thc
hair must be absolutely clean, with
that soft, silky fufiness that only
beautifully clean hair has. The
smart arrangement Eol' is rather
close to the head, revealing its con-
tour, yet covering cars and fore
head. This means soft, manageable
tresses just sufficiently waved to
give the close arrangement a grace
full undulation and proven. any rigid
lines in the silhouette of the head.
Unless your hair is kept all the time
in this clean. soft condition, and is
waved and dressed each day in
something the manner illustrated, it
will not take the lines Of the de-
sired couture upon occasions,
widely separated. You n1ay have it

And have the hair waved the day
before-the-day of your important
evening engagement-not the same
day. BY the second day the waves
are always softer and more natural
looking and adjust themselves bet
ter to a graceful arrangement. Some
women wind chiffon scarf lightly
over the head, or an old face veil,
when going to bed-to keep the
wave from fattening out during
sleep.
Two of the pictures show high
arrangement of the hair, the ends
being made into soft puffs on the
crown while the waves at the front
are drawn loosely over forehead and
ears. The other picture shows the
hair wound around the head, re-
vealing its contour: the ends are
tucked out of sight at the back, and
make the foundation of the couture,
which is slightly elongated at the
crown. The black hair is twisted
high and made into a coil or knot
on the crown; then the waves at
front and sides are drawn entirely
over this knot and the ends tucked
in, and a few she'll or amber pins
hold the couture in place. These
pins are evident in all the pictured
coiffures; they help to hold the
waves against the head and give the
correct silhouette to the hair dress
