The Steel Shipping company, New Or leans, has put in regular Pacific coast sailing. Mobile. I understand, has been doing a lot of pipe shipping to the Pa cific coast.

We already have arrangements with the Steel com pany by which this can be done via New Orletns.''

 Charts will be drawn up at the meeting at the Civic Association today showing why Birmingham is the best place to have the route located from.

This Skin PeeIer All
the Rage in Society

There is a growing tendency among
women of culture and fashion to paw
more attention to hygienic means Of
preserving their charms. The advent
of mercolized wax doubtless has been
largely responsible for this. This re.
markable substance produces complex
ions so natural in appearance, so mag.
netically beautiful. artificial complex.
ions are no longer desired. Instead OF
''doctoring' an offensive skin, the skin
is peeled off. TIE wax peels the skin so
gradually, in such fine particles, no dis
comfort is experienced. The fresh r
younger skin beneath. wholly in cyi.
dence within a week or two, is lily white
satiny soft and smooth. It's not a
patched-over complexion. but a brand
new one. That's why mercolized wax
has become such a rage among society
folk. The wax is put on nights like
cold cream and washed off MORNINGS
