MONTGOMERY ROAD
OPEN TO TRAFFIC
ON NEXT SUNDAY
County, With Federal Aid, Has
Spent S200,000-Soon
Ask Bids for Other
Work
BY ETHEL GILLEN

Work on the Montgomery highway
will be completed this week and the
highway opened to the public Sun
day. Statement to this effect was
made yesterday by Claude Rogers,
county highway engineer.
The road, which is five miles in length
from the corporate limits of the city of
Birmingham to the top of Shades noun
tain, will complete all federal aid road
work that is a part of the programme IF
1920.
Work on this road was started several
months ago under the direction of S. r.
Eatson, former county highway engineer
Mr.. Rogers, since he assumed charge of
the road work in the county, March /,
has been pushing the work in an effort
to have it completed before summer. 1t
will cost 100000
BEAUTIFUL DRIVEWAY
This road viii be a beautiful drive
for automobiiists, said Jerry Gwin,
member of the board of revenue of Jeffer-
son county, and i am sure the res
idents of the county will avail themselves
of it. I have often heard of the beau
tiful scenery of North Carolina, but 1
don't think it can beat what is to be
seen in Jefferson county. The natural
beauty of the scenery is remarkable and
all persons who have not travelled over
the route have something in store for
them.
1T is well worth a. trip up the noun
tain and l believe anyone making it will
feel well paid for it. And besides the
view of the city from the top of the
mountain is magnificent and when seen
from there one readily realizes the mag
nitude of the city of Birmingham"
Bids have been advertised for the road
running west from Rosedale to Edgewood
and will be opened June 81, This ROAD
will be constructed of macadam and wit
cost approximately $4,000. 1t will be
known as the Grandview road and will De
five miles in length. This road together
with other projects for which bids have
been asked, is a part of the road pro-
gramme mapped out by the board of rev.
enue for 1921 when members of that body
according to plans already adopted, eX
pect to spend $2,OO0,00 in road work.
The board has asked the federal gov
eminent for, $1000,000 for road work this
year, but as yet has not heard from tn!
request. According to a letter from W.
S. Keller, state highway engineer,
committee has been appointed by the
state highway commission composed OF
himself, A. e. Loder, federal engineer
and S. r. Batson, former county en-
gineer and a member of the state high
way commission, to visit this county and
inspect the type of roads the county
plans to construct with the aid of the fed
eral government and the state. Mr.. KEEL
Ter did not state just when this visit will
be made.

Built on the basis of exploitation e. robbery,
maintained only on the basis of the poverty and
wretchedness of the masses it is quite conceivable
that such society, rotten at it's very foundations
must show symptoms of its disease with every
new development. The politicians, in this matter
as in all others are now busily engaged in throwing
the blame for this condition from one to another
But it is not their fault They are for too small to
be of any consequence in the social currents Their
own corruption lies hidden in the corruption of the
system They are its creatures and as vermin they
must be dealth with.
On every hand the doom of capitalist society
can now be plainly seen. The crash is now not far
off. Civilization, and with it, humanity, are now
facing the supreme crises Only one force can save
us and that is the working class Is it prepared to
take over and run industry? On the answer de-
pends the fate of humanity. Workers, day by day
the capitalist class and its creature, the govern
ment, is growing more impotent. Day by day they
become less powerful to hinder you in your historic
mission. At our peril, do we delay. We must get
control of the job. We must make ourselves cap
able of its management and we must crush with
every means at our command, the slightest opposi-
ton to our rule.
A society controlled by the working class will be
society run On the basis of justice society con-
trolled by the proletariat will be in its essence
stable and peaceful. A society controlled by us
will make life worth while And society controlled
by workers means that the individual will become
normal and healthy instead of the corrupt, sickly,
mentally unbalanced type produced by capitalism

SEE HOW
TOOTH PASTES
INJURE ENAMEL
Here's a Test You Can Try Your.
self-Proves Gritty Dentrifices
Cause Decay. Z

Many dental authorities have been
saying for years that tooth paste and
powders are harsh and harmful to
teeth and gums. Try this test for
yourself and see what they do. Take
a little tooth paste on the tip Of your
finger and rub for G. minute ono your
mahogany table. The little scratches
that remain can be seen with the eye.
In the same way the constant rubbing
of tooth paste and powder on your
teeth causes tiny holes in the enamel,
which is natures protection against
germs. these little places offer the
first loopholes for germs to enter.
Tooth paste and powders are all made
from some gritty abrasive substances
as a base. They also cause a raw,
open gums. which offer another point
of attack for germs. No germ can
can work in unbroken skin. In spite
of the warning of authoritie=, such
tooth troubles pyorrhea, etc, continue
to occur and many ascribe them to
both pastes and powders. Evidently,
there is some truth in it, because py-
orrhea was almost unknown before
these preparations were used.
The safest most antiseptic way 10
care for the teeth is to use a mouth
wash that keeps the mouth thorough
ly antiseptic at all times. Now that
Steroline can be obtained at any drug
this becomes simple. The greatest
germ killing agent known during the
war is the basis of Steroline This is
Dobelps Solution, for fifty years Off
cialIy approved as sure germicide at
physicians conventions. But DobeIrs
Solution is unsuitable for general use
and it's disadvantages are overcome
by SterOline which contains other
ingredients that make it such a de-
light in brushing, and that soothe and
allay inflammation, and cleanse the
teeth. Steroline also stops bleeding
gums.
Tooth pastes and powders cannot
reach more than so per cent of the
surface. The other 40 per cent is de-
caying constantly. Only a liquid an
tiseptic, like Steroline, can get all
through the mouth and cleanse the
hidden surfaces. Start trying Stero-
line today. Lose no time. Go to your
druggist, buy a bottle of Steroline and
avoid further danger to your teeth.
The Crystal Pharmacy recommends
and guarantees Steroline. Large bot
