 other measures inclnded in the call which were passed were the gasoline inspection bill, requiring state officials to live in Montgomery, better provis- ion for the work of the public service commission, changes in the Blue Sky law, providing for the feeding of pris- oners in the county jails, permitting counties to issue interest bearing war rants for tick eradication and road i'm provement work.
 Two constitutional amendments were submitted to the voters during the ex tra sesion, although not included in the call. One gives the state bond commission authority to issue bonds for road improvement to bear intcrets at six per cent instead of five per. cent, the limit now prescribed. This ( ectioni will be held in February, 1921
 Another amendment submitted to the voters at the next general election pre- |scribes the qualifications of voters and Is intended to prevent the registration of undesirables who may claim their .q iIflcations as a result of the ratifi- Fcatlon of the woman suffrage amend ment.

COST AND SALES PRICE

For the month of August. 1920, the cost of coal was $2.935 per ton and the selling price was $3.275 per ton. The margin was 34 cents per ton. From this margin must be deducted all the items named above. The cost of the coal is made up as follows:
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-10-03

Some of the data gathered was as fol- lows:
 Sipsey coal costs Mir Rushton s5 to which he had to add the freight rate from mine of STA cents. the tonnage tax of cents and the war tax of 3 cents. making it cost him delivered in cars at his yards $s.17 per ton.
 37 CENTS PROFIT
 This coal he sells for s9.50. That leaves him s333 per ton. The cost of handling this coal from car to the yard pile thence loading the wagoS and delivering. including upkeep of stock and wagons, hire of labor and the like amounts to $2.96 per ton. The difference is on the face of it 37 cents per ton net profit.
 As a matter of fact, the August loss was 23 cents per ton on account of unusually heavy expenses in the way of wagon repairs and the like.
 He sells Galloway coal at $9.50. That costs him s plus the freight which Is $103 making the price delivered in cars at his yards $6.03. The handling in yards and delivery to customer cost him S2.96 per ton. The apparent proflt there is A cents per ton.

 His mines are non-union. says Mr. DeBardeleben. and are going to re- main so.

The Real Secret of
 Rejuvenating the Face

She holds the true secret of facial re- juvenation who has learned how to remove the dead skin particles as fast as they ap- pear. It's a secret anyone may possess. The aged, faded, or discolored surface skin may be gradually absorbed. in an entirely safe and rational manner, by the nightly ap- plcation of ordinary mercolized wax. Wltnln week or two the underlying skin, youth full and beautiful to behold. has taken the place of the discarded cuticle: So little of the old skin is absorbed each day there's no inconvenience at all. and no one suspects you are putting Anything on your face. The mercolized wax, procurable at any drug store S(an ounce is sufficient), is applied like cold cream. In the morning it is erased with soap and water. It's the best thing known for freckles. backheads. pim- pies, moth patches, liver spots and fine sur face wrinkles.
 For the deeper wrinkles, excellent recipe is: Powdered saxolite, one ounce. dissolved in one-half pint of witch hazel. Bathing the face in the solution produces quick and wonderful results.--Adv.

 In 1919 the company's coal business entailed loss of s1.S0o; in 1918 there was a net profit of $4,725.
 Gain or loss is largely governed by the amount of business done. For in- stance in March the company made s9S6, but in June it lost $547.
 The companys small profits this year are largely owing to the fact that it has never been able to pile coal on the yards and keep it for higher prices, but has sold from car to consumer at prevailing rates.

 At 11:20 o'clock last night he wan. dered into police headquarters and with the blood streaming over his clothes from two ugly wounds on the back of his head, he told the police officers that he had been robbed. but that he was unable to remember where
 Police officers referred him to tho city detectives department where he had to go over his story again with them. Later he was placed in an auto- mobile and after making a tour of that section of the city around the Terminal station, he picked out the spot where he had been struck down by the rob bers.
 At late hour last night city detec- tive who have been assigned to the case reported that they could find no trace of the highwaymen-

KILL SALARY BILL

KILL SALARY BILL
 Governor Kilby lost another fight later in the evening. He returned to the sen ate the bill increasing the salaries of the tax assessor and collector of Jefferson county with an amendment which elim- mated the referendum feature by which the question of an increase was to be submitted to the voters in the general election in November. The house promptly non-concurred in the amend L. ment, thus killing the bill.
 Other salary bills affecting Jefferson county were retained in the governor z office and are expected to become laws. This means a fight in Jefferson over the question of whether or not the salaries shall be increased
 Few bills were passed by the two houses the last day of the session All important legislation had been disposed of and the closing hours were devoted to action on amendment by one house or the other or the governor.
 The famous dog law, which has been an issue in politics in every county went to the governor with few amend ments during the day after hard fight had been made against the concurrence in tho report of the conference com mittee The conference committee, named after the house had cut the, bill into bits Friday, reached an agreement which gave 10 per cent of the funds to the st1te and retained 25 per cent for the public schools. Other amendments were made which placed some teeth in the law, which has been practically unen- forceabie since it's enactment
