EFFICIENT MANHOOD

'.Efficient Manhood and the Sex Prob lem was the subject of the address of Dr. Winfield Scott Hall of Northwestern University. Chicago. at 3:30 o'clock yes terday afternoon at the Alcazar theatre. The address was made under the aus pces of the Young Mems Christian asso- citation, and was the first of a series that will be made in Birmingham each Sunday afternoon.
 Dr. Halls address was for men only and he spoke for over an l, ir in an in- terestine and instructive manner. He told of the different stages in the life of the young boy and the importance of the growing boy being informed on the great questions of life.
 "The American public received a great blow about two years ago when army physicians informed them that only 70 per cent of the American boys were fit to fight" said pr. Hall
 About one-sixth of this 90 per cent who were not fit to fight had venereal diseases of some kind. And nearly every one of these boys had given as an ex- cuse that he did not know he was af- fected.
 From the time a boy is l4 years old until he is IT is a period known as the physical development of the body. To properly take care of himself during this period the growing boy should be given instructions by his father or the family physician"

MORE OPPOSITION T0P|TTSbURGPL New Element Enters Campaign Against Plus Plan on Steel
 Products

A new element has entered the cam paign directed against the Pittsburg plus price on steel products. According to the Iron Age, the leading exponent of the iron and steel trades, the governing board of the National Association of Purchasing Agents has joined the ranks of those fighting the Pittsburg plus base.
 At the Detroit session of this body last week a resolution was adopted declaring that the Pittsburg base was primarily incorrect and uneconomic." The resolution will be presented to the federal trade commission at it's hearing in Washington by W. L. Chandler, president of the asso- ciation, representing the Dodge Sales and Engineering company of Mishawaka Wis; F. J. Arthurs of the Larkin com- pany, Buffalo, and others,
 The National Association of Purchasing Agents was organibzed in 1916 in New York with 50 members. It now has 4,000 members with s branches, and new mem bers are joining at the rate of 50 per week. About 75 per cent of the firms rep resented are in the iron and metals in- dustry and the rest are manufacturers of textiles, chemicals, together with the larger distributors of manufactured pro- ducts.

TAX PAYERS ARE
 PROMPT THIS YEAR

Taxes on real and personal property for 1920 have been paid by 10127 persons, ac- ccrdng to records at the office of James F. Hawkins. tax collector.
 This is considered an excellent record as only 1900 had paid during the same period last year, the majority of property owners waiting until the month of De- cember before paying taxes. There aro 34i000 taxpayers in Jefferson county and the number receiving receipts up to tho present time is nearly one-third of tho total number.
 We attribute the splendid showing this year tG the cards which were mailed to all taxpayers showing the amount Of taxes due and the increase if there was one" said Mir. Hawkins This is the first time that cards have been sent out and large number of persons receiving the card immediately came in and paid their taxes. as all that was needed was Just q reminder.
 We are prging everyone who can pos sibly do so to come in as early as pos- sble to assess their property and pay their taxes in order to avoid the ruao and congestion of the last few weeks"
 All taxes become delinquent on January l, after which a penalty will be added to the taxes.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 LECTURE AT STRAND

Paul Stark Seeley. c. S. B.. of Portland. Ore. delivered an interesting lecture on Christian Science at the Strand theatre yesterday afternoon. The lecture was well attended and special music was fur nished for the occasion.
 The speaker was introduced by Will liam T. Giles. first reader of the See end church of Birmingham. MT. Seelev spoke in part as follows,
 The fact is as the Bible makes very plain that the one true and enduring man. Gods man. is as stated in the first chapter of Genesis made in the likeness of God. that is he has the character and nature of God, and why should this not be so? Does not a cause produce an ef- feet like itself? Jesus made it plain that this is the fact when He said, 'l and My Father are one'' (John l030), one, that is. in quality and nature. Often He referred to the Father which dwelt in Him. .n other words the mind of good or God which was his consciousness.
 Man is predestined to be the living witness or evidence of God, His express sion and consciousness, even as the sun beam is ever the witness and evidence of the presence of the sun Gods one agency of expression is the spiritual universe and spiritual man.
 "Christian Science not only presents tho true concept or man, put SHOWS that IL ID attainable in some considerable measure right here and right now. It shows that fin each and everyone of us, and there Is no exception, no, not one, there IS a natural ability and competency to mental ly work our way out of the wilderness of material beliefs out of the net or material selfhood into our natural unity and agreement with, ever present good mind the consciousness which is God, our real life and being. The process Is wholly mental. as Paul indicated when he said, Be ye transformed by the re- newing of your mind (Romans 12:2).
 "Oniy 40 years ago the first Christian Science church was organized in Boston. Since then nearly 1,S00 organizations have been formed throughout the world, Chrls- tian Science is offering to the world today a volume of testimony as to the efficacy of it's healing work unexcelled in the history of therapeutic systems. From business men, educators. lawyers, judges, phvsicians ministers and men and Wom- en of all trades and classes 1t is offering evidence of health and happiness restored to the individual"
