The Bessemer schools will open Tues- day morning after a suspension for the Christmas holidays of ten days The board of education allowed Monday as q holiday in order to permit the teachers to spend Sunday with relatives before re- turning to the city to resume their du- ties. Practically all of the teachers who live out of Bessemer spent their holiday season with relatives at their homes and will return Monday.
 The Christmas season has been one ol continual gayety for the high school boys and girls, who have enjoyed number of parties and informal gatherings since school was out The visit of Santa Claus has served to make the grammar school children happy, and all will re turn to their school duties Tuesday morning after happy vacation Of ten days

Says H Ls Easy Matter
 To Earn $5O,OOO a Year

so easy to do most people don't do 1t. Never break your word. The business world is ever on the lookout for re- liable men.
 Sack yourself from the job that does not make you happy to perform it. No man ever got on if he bemoaned the fate that placed him in that business. You must take chances if you want big prizes. Have faith in yourself or no one else will. The world judges you by what you can and do do, not by what you say you can do.
 The greatest business task in the world" he concluded, lis tn eorganiza- tion and development of the British Empire. Its manager director, David Lloyd George, cinsidering his great ca pacity. energy, vision and decision, is the poorest paid managing director in the world He needs a dozen f10,0O0 a year men to help him. But the state also limits his authority for paying for brains to a few thousand a year. His minister of labor, one of the most com potent men in the kingdom, gets a pal try f200O a year, first-class man on a third class income. The state must learn to pay it's public servants better.
 Director of great corporations need a new point of view also. Throughout the country directors getting fees of $500 a year spend many wasted hours seeing how they ca navoid paying a man f10,000 year to run the business while they waste f10,000 month for the shareholders while they debate the point. Directors of limited liability companies have still much to learn. And so has labor as a whole.

 London, December 6.-Most healthy men and women are potential earners of fl00O0 a year, according to c. F. Highan, member of Parliament. MT Higham recently told members of the Efficiency club how to earn this big income.
 "Ten thousand a year men never write asking for a position,' he de- clared. The secret of how to obtain large incomes is to get others to work out your ideas, to have the courage of your convictions, to be able to say Yes or No on the instant, and to stick to your decision Men who can make up their own minds and make up other peoples minds are so few that only these few get f10,000 a year or more in business"
 Most men and women. he said, wait for opportunity to knock at the door. and when it does they are usually too tired to get up. Opportunities are made. They rarely seek one out. If people want to earn f10.000 they make up their minds to get it and let nothing stand in their way If it is worth hav- ing it is worth fighting for.
 Few f10,000 a year men are really happy men, said the speaker. They have that terrible discomfort that is never satisfied The man who thinki he can earn f10,000 a year should de- eide whfether he really wants it. He will not get it if he does not make up his mind, and one day. when he gets it he will probably regret it. A man should never envy the successful. but emulate them. He should show to his employers an infinite capacity for talk ing pains and be ready for any ques- tion or emergency.
 "Be careful of your personal ap- pearance," he proceeded; Hook prosper ous, act prosperous, be an optimist. Pes simists never get far. Be kind that is a great virtue. Be courteous. It is the cheapest thing in the world, and being

 Though they have changed their dresses at the order of Lanvin and

 fashion pictures show women sitting

 women here don't follow the pictures

 the laughter when she had to be re-

 That is one reason why the chemse frock is absolutely forbidden to retire from London, whatever Paris may say. These English girls with their long waists and their lean hips look their best in clothes that have no definite waist line.

GIRLS COUNCIL

The members of the Girls council are planning for their first celebration in Bessemer Friday evening, which will be staged in the basement of the First Methodist church The council was formed about six months ago under the direction of Mrs. Fred Den son. and the organization has had much influence upon the activity of the girl life of the city.
 The celebration Friday evening will be in the nature of camp fire fes- tivity. except that it will consist of indoor stunts by the girls. Songs, plays and yells will be a part of the programme, and preparations are be- ing made by the members of the coun. ell to entertain about 150 guests Re- treatments will beE served, and all ot those interested in the activity of teen-age girls are invited to be pres- ent.
 Mrs. Denson requests all girls be- tween the ages of 15 and IS to meet her and the council members at the Methodist church Monday afternoon at o'clock, when a rehearsal will be given and plans completed for the cele- bration. request that the girls bring pencil and paper is also made

 these little garments and all sorts of colors are used, especially those which

 The latest in furs is fur cushions. When you cannot get a simple squirrel

 Flowers and fruit and tassels of long twisted variegated silk are used to trim these pillows.

The bright plaid skirts which were so much in evidence in America in No vember are no longer seen here, but a
 few of the newest dresses are made of

 The effect of this bold crossing in

 it is not becoming. There may be but
 a single line visible below the long i coat or across the front of a one piece | dress, and as apparently the garments

 y, in which the vot-
 will be called upon to
 sl.slative amendment permit
 owns and cities to impose an ad-
 -.I tax not to exceed 3 mills on as nsed property for special purposes, is # paramount interest to Mayor E. C. Jones, as he was chairman of the legis- latve compittee of the Municipal league that framed the amendment.
 Mayor Jones spent a great deal of time ir Montgomery while the legislature was in session working for the passage of the amendment, and is one of the strongest advocates of the ratification of the amendment. In speaking of the amend ment Mayor Jones makes the following statement:
 T am informed that some Of the vot- CTS and taxpayers are under the wrong impression as to the effect of the con- stitutional amendment, affecting towns and cities, to be voted on December 29.
 This amendment does not give the city council the right to raise taxes, except by Vote of the people, and then not to ex- ceed mills or 90 cents on the $l00 and such additional tax can only be voted for some special purpose, and Gan be used only for the purpose for which it Is voted by the people. Our present rate is 1 per cent or $1 on the hundred, and under this amendment it cannot in any one year exceed 11a per cent or S1.5O on the hundred.
 "The amendment will be of great bene- fit to the city of Bessemer and every other city or town affected It will give Bessemer the authority to use the , mill tax, which we now levy to take care of our bonds and interest issued in leJ- and prior thereto, to take care of all c;'l bonds and the interest thereon, and re- lieve the general fund of this bs''cen and give us more money for street wcrN and other purposes.
 "We need more money for school pur- poses, we need property for a park, we need better streets, we cannot have these things without money. I ask the people of Bessemer, Birmingham and Jefferson county to vote for this amendment, be- cause it will benefit us and will hurt no one. The people demand that our city governments do things that we do not have money to pay for; give us the moAey and we can do things for you.
