A SHOW OFF ITSELF

1t is as good as real show to
stand in front of "The Oasis" office
when reports by innings of the World
Series base ball games are displayed
each day. 1t is typical crowd of
fans congregating there each day,
watching the figures as they are dis
played ON the board, and listening to
the reports as they are recited through
megaphone; and they are just as
full of fun as crowd of fans would
be in the grand stand at the game
itself. The quips and quirks that are
given vent are very amusing, exciting
ones risibles constantly.
Just drop around this afternoon
and enjoy the fun.

the governor signed the pension bill, moved indefinite postponement of the health bill. The speaker pro tenn. would rot recognize members who were trying tc make such motions.
 Representative J. Lee Long of Butler demanded the reading of the bill, and it was ordered Tead in full
 The bill fills 46 printed pages. about 20000 words, but the clerk accomplished the wonderful feat of reading it in less than 10 minutes. However, he skipped several pages at a time, to which fact MT. Long called attention, but the pre- siding officer refused to recognize him.
 At the conclusion of the reading the vote was ordered, but Hhis brought a flood of protests. The clerk began the roll call, but everybody was on his feet shouting at the speaker, who for the time being was deaf to all appeals for recognition As the roll call proceeded it vas impossible to hear the response Of the members. Dozens of members talk ing and shouting at the top of their voices all at once, appealing to fellow members to vote down the bill, to stop gag rule, to protect the old Confederate Veterans, and similar appeals drowned cut everything else Finally order was restored and the roll call proceeded.
 When the speaker announced the result MT. Long gave notice that he would file sworn protest against the passage or the bill on the ground that it had not been done as the constitution provides. in that the clerk had not-read the bill in full as he demanded.
 The bill was ordered sent to the sen- ate without engrossment.

HEALTH CODE IS PASSED DBY HOUSE
 AMID SCENES OF
 WILD DISORDER
One of Most Spectacular Fights of Session Occurs When Veterans Call for Defeat of Bill,
 Claiming Slight
By W. J. ROLES

Montgomery, September IT. Special. .)-Amidst scenes of the widest disorder the house of representatives tonight passed the health code by the vote of 42 to 37.
 One of the hardest fights of the ses- sion took place over the bill, the most spectacular one taking place tonight when Confederate veterans and others called upon the house to defeat the bill because of the alleged slight of and in- justice to the old veterans.
 The fight began last Monday when Representative J. c. Wilson of Calhoun offered resolution to the effect that no appropriations would be passed until after the passage and approval of the Confederate pension bill. MT. Wilson stated that the governor had told hinl he would veto the pension bill if passed. Following this statement the pension piii was called and passed and returned to the senate, where it originated. The sem ate refused to concur in house amend ments, but this afternoon adopted con ference committee report recommendlns concurrence.
 When the house convened tonight the stage was set for the health bill flght. It was the unfinished business. Several members who favor the bill, but who de- clared they would not vote for it or any other bill carrying an appropriation until

Do you sometimes feel like you will scream if you do not get relief from the tormenting and terrifying itching and irri- tating burning that makes you feel like your very skin is ablaze?
 Possibly your disorder has not reached the torturing stage as yet, but there are thousands of victims of skin diseases that know too we'll the almost un- endurable pain that comes from eruptions, irritations, pimples, boils, ulcers, eczema, psoryasis, carbuncles and the numerous other forms of tor ment that attack the delicate tissues of the skin.
 The only proper method of treatment for any disease is a remedy that will reach it's source, that will remove its cause and not simply palliate it's symptoms.

Sure Way to Regain
 Robust Bloom of Youth

A smooth. ve1vety-soft skin, with a deli cate peach-like bloom, is one of the Crea- tors most exquisite works. When the first blush of youth is over, this beautiful tint and satiny lustre are rarely seen. How to preserve them - that's the ques- ton. Famous beauty experts abroad long have known that ordinary mercolized wax works wonders in this direction. It actu- ally gives a new surface to the skin. re- storing that marvellous girlish color and soft ness in remarkable manner. An ounce of this wax, procurable at any drug store. will convert a faded, wornout, discolored, freckIed or pimply complexion into one of captivating loveliness in less than two weeks.
 No special skill is necessary in applying mercolized wax it being smcared on at night like cold cream and washed off in the mori.- ing.

 CLOSED SHOP BARRED
 This country will not stand for the closed shop It cannot afford it.

It would be the beginning of industrial decay, and an injustice to the workmen themselves. whI prosper only when industry suc- ceeds
 The open shop will generally be ap- prove by them, for this permits them to engase in any employment whether they are, or are not members of a labo, union.
 It is appropriate to further emphasize what has been sad many times in re- gard to our employees.
 Every one. without exception, must be treated by all others justly and accord ing to merit In accordance with oar established custom, one of our work men, or a number of our workmen from any department, will continue to be re- ceived by the management to consider for adjustment any question presented.

iron, Some even contended that 1t was to remove from the schools of Bir- mingham just such political activity as had occurred in support of the tonnage tax that an elective board would be favored by many. In other words their answer to those opposing the Benners amendment was now that you have got yourself into a political row by engaging in politics on the revenue and educational bills, don't cry politics in an effort to get out of the difficulty"
 AIMED AT DIR. PHILLIPS
 While both the opponents and the adherents of the Benners amendment engaged in much argument and dis cussion about politics" and the good of the gchools,' it is known that one of the chief sources of support for the elective board comes from those who desire to see a change in the position of superintendent of city schools. It is generally recognized that pr. J. H Phillips the present superintendent. will continue to hold his place as long as he desires if the present system of choosing members of the board of edu- cation continues. Many who for va rious reasons desire to see him sup planted by another, favor board elect ed by the vote of the people which fulBHt COuslueT lIlt sclcCtiOH or diiOlASi man.
 While many supporters of the West bill were known to desire change in the head of the schools, 1t is declared now that added opposition has developed in certain circles, due to Dr Phillips support of the revenue bill with its pro- vision for the tonnage tax on coal and iron. While members of the city com mission have taken no part in the fight it is declared that they will not be act i've against the measures to select the board by vote of the people. It is also known that some of the members of the city commission would not view with great dsmay the naming of a new su- perintendent of city schools to supplan, pr. Phillips.
 However, it was universally declared yesterday that the fight for the direct election of a school board should not be construed as a reflection on the rem bers of the present board. Even those most active in behalf of the change did not hesitate to pay tribute to the abil- ity integrity and patriotic service of the present members. The move to change the method of selection was not intend ed as a thrust at the present board as a whole nor any of it's individual mem- bers.
 The fight in Montgomery today is ex- pected to be warm one, and if the measure comes up before the senate to- morrow a hard fight is assured. II is anticipated that a strong lobby against the direct election of the board will be maintained at the capital until the ques- tion is finally settled.
