The Dream Of President
 John Sparrow Comes True

"The Sparrow Advertising Agency, h. corporated," is effective today. And thus the dream of John Sparrow, it's president and founder, has come true
 In 1904 MT. Sparrow, abandoning rer- ortorial and editorial duties, entered the advertising game. His start was ob- scure, If not humble. He worked, ac- cording to his own admission, and to that fact he attributes his success.
 In 1918 Oliver Cox, then secretary of the Rotary club, joined Mr. Sparrow, and this year W. J. Barrett, one of the best known copy writers of the south, became a member of the staff
 W. J. Rushton, one of the best known business men of the city, is treasurer of the company.
 MT. Sparrow states that he has facil- ities to make his firm a recognized standard agency, He expects to make as great a success in the foreign field as he has scored locally.

Face Feeling Habit
 Becoming Fashionable

Women of fashion and refinement seem to have been acquiring the mer- lcoiized wax habit, depending less and less upon cosmetics for their complexion difficulties It does seem lot saner to just peel off the wornout skin when it loses it's youthful color and appearance now that this can be done so easily, safely, painless1y and economically.
 There's no trouble getting merco- Iized wax at any drug store Gan ounce will dol, since it's virtues have become generally known here, and there's no trouble using it-just as you use cold cream, applying at night, washing it off next morning. The wax takes off the old scarf skin, iri tiny flakes, little each day. The new under-skin which gradually appears, is velvety soft and beautifully white, radiant with girlish loveliness. Any surface trouble - like pinples, red or yellow patches, Treclxles, etc, vanish of course with the dis carded cuticle.--Adv.

William l.. Harrison made a run away race of it yesterday for repre- sentative in the legislature in the spe- cial election held to fill the unexpired term of Thomas E. Huey. resigned.
 The vote was very light throughout the county, probably the rghtest vote ever cast in the county. Sixty pre- cincts, scattered throughout the city of Birmingham and the county, cast lit tie over 4000 votes and the other 45 are not expected to increase this be- yond 5000, or about one-third of the total qualified ielectors of the county.
 Very little interest was manifested in the campaign from the beginning and it was almost a foregone conclusion from the start that MT. Harrison, who is prominent in organized labor cir cles, would win.

 James A. Estes of Bessemer carried all of the Bessemer precincts, receiv- ing in the four Bessemer boxes PAS votes to 1SS for MT. Harrison, while he lost Jonesboro, now part of Besse- mer, by 34 to AZ, to MT. Harrison. His total vote in the 50 precincts, however. was only 34S.
 Roy E. Perkins, the fourth candidate, received 45 votes in the 60 precincts, and his total will probably not exceed 100 in the whole county.
 MT. Harrison is organizer of the United Mine Workers of America for the Birmingham district and president of the Alabama Federation of Labor. He has been active in organized labor circles in Alabama for number or years and during the war was mem Der of the executive committee Of the Jefferson County elf-PreserVat1on league, a branch of the United States employment service.
