must stress four things. First, this
will be q big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists of the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any 10 previous years Of their ex-
istence. Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
I'm the second place. this is an OPP
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities OF
which they have been talking for the
past year, but of which they have no
personal knowledge. OF these $4,000
men. only negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad. At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third. this is the time to finish
the job to gather inspiration and in
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out

Fourth, and most important OF all,

which those who are back of il hold.

we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter.

BURGLARS RANSACK DOWNTOWN STORES
 AND GET BIC BOOTY
Yeggmen Active in City and Two Downtown Stores Robbed-Safe of Starr
 Piano Co. Ransacked

Burglars and yeggmen are again in business on a large scale in Birmingham according to reports on file at detective headquarters. Burglars entered the Paris
 ian company-and the Starr Piano com
 pany, adjoining business houses on Third
 avenue, between Eighteenth and Nine
 teenth streets, and goods stolen from
 both houses combined amounted in value
 to over sl100. From the Parisian com

 cracked a safe in the rear Of the Starr
 Plano company Building and obtained
 some jewelry, valuable papers and Liber- tv Bends.
 The burglar alarm installed in the
 Parsan went off about 10 o'clock Sun day night and the Western Union oper- ator notified the officers City detec-
 lives Lee and Heflin first answered the call and were quickly followed by repre- sentatives of Bodeker's detective agency. They searched the places from top to bottom with representatives of the stores. bat that night they found nothing miss ing. and after repairing the holes made in the doors by the thieves, they left the buildings.
 The rear door of the Parisian company was minus panel, it having been kicked
 out apparently according to the officers, from the inside. and it is generally be- lieved that they obtained their entrance
 by the use of a skeleton key. Upon fin ishing their work at the Parisian, the burglars crossed over on the fire escape and onto the roof of the Starr Piano company and entered through second story window

It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast 1t out in the urine: the pores of the skin are also means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly ecold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accommodating and circufat- ing through the system. eventually set sstling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-

MERCURY STARTED
 ORDERLY RETREAT

Fair weather is predicted for today, with a drop in temperature. The mer- cury started orderly retreat with the cessation of rain last night and contin- ues to drop.
 F. C. Horton. local weathermaker, pre- diets temperature of 20 degrees above tonight. If such comes to pass, it is deemed advisable by the weatherman for all early spring chickens, gardens, etc, to crawl back into their shell and await a more congenial time for appearing.
 Those who are in doubt concerning the truthfulness of the weather prophets as- sertion have only to glance at his pre- dicton for last night, which was veri- fled to the letter with much rain and increasing frigidity. ~
 No sooner did the rain stop than the cold wave struck town, per prediction. and the early morning air was rather chilly to early risers and late home corners.

ARMY GAS MASKS NJ GOOD IN MINE
 WORK, SAY EXPERTS
Natural Gas and Coal Dust Will Filter Through-Op- eratives Warned Not
 to Wear Them

That the gas masks used in the army are of no value in coal mines, but rather a menace because of the added sense of false safety they would create, was con- tained in a warning issued by the U. S. bureau of mines, department of the interior. yesterday, and it became known that several mining corporations in this district lad bought army masks in the belief that they would be effective in shines.
 The reason for this lack of efficiency in mines was made clear in the bulletin by D. J. Parker, former Alabama min ing man, but now a mine safety en- gneer of the bureau. He gave as the reason for the failure the fact that these masks are of no value if there is more than or 3 per cent gas in the at mosphere. This is the average amount in battle, but in a mine the gas some times totally excludes the oxygen, mak- ing it plaintly evident that the old mask and respirator must not be discontinued.
 He also explained that these masks are made to neutralize only certain klnos of gases, and that natural gas and coal. dust would probably pass through them unfiltered.
 On account or tn1S preVdieHl iShoioii concerning the efficiency of resplrators and masks the bureau of mines Is lssu- ing a statement concerning them
 Among other things, the statement says that the army gas mask Is by no means the unusual protective appliance that it is popularly believed It does not afford universal protection against all gases nor can it ever be used sa1ey in low oxygen atmosphere. It furnishes no oxygen to the wearer ana can oiiis remove comparatively small percentages of poisonous gas from inhaled ar, usual lY less than 1 or per cent. Hlshel

 Army gas masks can be used around certain of the chemical industries, around smelters and roasters where sui phur fumes are given off and in the in- dustries using chlorine and bleaching powder.
 Ammonia is another gas that will penterate the standard army canister.
 The self-contained oxygen breathing apparatus can never be displaced by the gas mask for use in atmosphere defi- cient in oxygen.

COLOR PSYCHOLOGY
 AID TO HAPPINESS,
 SAYS PAULA SHAY

Girls, your thoughts must be rose col
 ored if you would have happiness and
 success!
 So said the charming star of Every
 woman at her hotel yesterday. Miss
 Paula Shay is deeply interested in the art of color psychology.
 In iris tinted gown, with golden hair
 dressed low and a bowl of pink roses
 on the small table by her side, she seemed. herself the embodiment of some
 lovely tone painting.
 Color is so much a part of my life, :" said this dainty actress, i've have grey
 days and blue days and wonderful days of rose and gold. And each day has a mental coloring it has its counterpart
 in nature. So with our thoughts, we re-
 veal ourselves consciously or uncon-
 sciouly in terms of oolor-rose for hap
 piness and success; yellow. for pettiness and jealousy; violet, for mystic spiritual
 thought the color of inspiration-oh one
 could go on indefinitely she added
 dreamily
 You sec" she said with that vibrant
 quality of voice which haunts all those
 who have seen her as "Everywoman, ' Eff we could visualize all the colors that
 are about us we should be blinded by
 their beauty. The ancient philosophers
  color. and today, perhaps, the French women study more closely the art of color psychology than do others: partic- ularly in relation to dress Color has so much to do with the effect on ones men, tai state that I think if women chose the colors of their gowns with this in view there would be less of nervous troubles.
 With exquisite grace she lifted a rose. Mature has taught us so much of .he influence of color; see, roses are made of laughter and happiness and yet we
 must have the green of the leaves, too, for rest and peace"
 There was something else I wanted to tell you, but I have forgotten it. and that, you sees she added laughingly, was a grey thought. All thoughts unex- pressed are grey, and when we give them life they become rose or blue or gold as it happens
 Miss Shay is. as one might imagine, a poet, and in reading over some charm ing bits of verse, the interviewer found the following verses which seemed to embody so well her philosophy that he asked her permission to use them: MY LOOM OF DAYS Now all my days are being woven From threads of rose and gold All the dull, grey tones of sadness Have vanished since you hold z My pale and weary hands. There were so many dark. drab threads Of faded saffron hues, But now my days are growing reds And brilliant bright green blues Since you hold my hands. Paula Shay

"A Tailor-Made Man"

Only two things are needed by the average American to win success-ampi- ton and a dress suit. That this IS fact is demonstrated in no uncertain way through the medium of Harry James Smiths comedy. "A Tailor-Made Man, which is to be presented at the Jeffer- son theatre for half week, beginning Monday, March 3, with Wednesday matinee. Conan and Harris made the offering, in their usual lavish style, and with a confidence backed by sohd years run in New York city, where the critics were of one accord in declaring it to be the best American play in re- cent years. Just how John Paul Bart, humble ''presser' in a tailor's shop, throws off the drudgery of a flatiron and saunters forth in the big world to make his name and fortune forms the basis of a story that furnishes three hours of splendid amusement.
