CITY HALL BURNS
 AT COLUMBUS, O.
By Associated Press

Columbus, O., January 12.-Columbus city hall, one of the oldest public build ings in the city, directly across the street from the statehouse, was almost completely destroyed by fire tonight. The second ard third floors of the three- story building were gutted and water and falling debris damaged the first floor so badly that the structure will have to be rebuilt. Nearby business blocks, at first threatened by the flames, were saved, except for slight damage to roofs.
 The blaze started on the third floor m gymnasium from an unknown cause.
 Children playing on the same floor cs- capped in gymnasium costumes and fhe city council, in session in the building, also took nasty adjournment and fled to the streets
 Many valuable records were destroyed it is believed although steel filing cabi- nets were counted on to have preserved some of the most valuable ones.
 Council members, estimating the dam age to the building and contents at s5V' coo, said steps would undoubtedly pc taken at once to rebuild. No insurance was carried on the building( it was satd'

"EARTHBOUND" COMES
 TO ALCAZAR NEXT WEEK

Do you believe in life after death
 Are you a spiritualist--or a material ist? are basic questions in Earth :
 bound"
 As Basil King expresses it in his great photodrama, "Earthbound," the creed of the materialist is No God, no sin no future life-nothing but the survival of the fittest. and every man for himself" Through the lives of three men and a woman he pictures
 the bitter fruitage of this creed, even beyond the veil.
 One of the great scenes. in Basil Kings "Earthbound," which comes to the Alcazar theatre Monday, is on the broad stairway in the lobby of wealthy and exclusive club. Gen. Jack Pershing saw this scene taken when he was at the Goldwyn studio in Gull yer City. Wyndham Standing, as l Nicholas Dcsborough, has ascended al
 most to the top step of the great stair way when another prominent young clubman, and the husband of Daisy I Rittenshaw, confronts him and fires
 wounding him mortally. The great ! body falls headlong to the foot of the
 stairs and the psychic body is visible | immediately after death.

For Good of the
 Community

THERE are two kinds of showdown. 1 The one is where the bottom has dropped out of things and no new bottom is in sight That is the kind preceding dis integration.
 The other is where the machinery is un- impaired, but is crying out for rest and re- furbishing of it's parts for another burst of speed When this kind of showdown of capable industrial and commercial in terests is accompanied by brisk use of the repair tools and the implements of bet torment and improvement, the showdown shall have been of benefit. The craft will make longer and more successful voyages than before the showdown.
 It has certainly been this way in Bir mingham and Alabama. Let's see.
 It began with increase of capital stock by the Birmingham Water Works com- pany the Alabama Home Building and Loan and the Jemison company The first will install $45O,O00 worth of high pressure pumps, boilers and other i'm provements The other will add S3,000,- 900 to it's home building capacity The third is expressing it's growth in building a handsome home of it's own.
 Then came the Empire Coal company, capital S2,500,000, bodying up 50,000 acres of Black Creek coal mines and coal bearing lands in the Empire basin of the upper Warrior It will lay out new min ing towns and has S400,000 to spend in river bank mining development the day work is given to build the lock at Sanders Ferry.
 Start has been made on the Masonic Temple and arrangements perfected for beginning on the auditorium. Founda- tions have been laid for the two high schools, an initial investment of more than S1,OOO,OO0 This is more than S2,00O,0 ,000 of construction aims directly at the per manent expansion of the better part of the community. There is very little to slow down period, during which enterprises like this are set afoot.
 The Continental Gin company is build ing plant of greater capacity than that of the two it already has put together Pretty fair work for time when every thing connected with cotton has been putting up poor mouth But it is confi- dence in the eternal destiny of the human race. It is the same as saying that the Creator allows no earnest and intelligent thing to die aborning.
 The million-dollar postoffice, laps over into 1921 for it's finishing touches That is another sign that the world in Birming ham is going forward to bigger and bet ter things.
 Lehigh Portland Cement company did not buy the 250-acre tract of land at Tar rant City to gaze at Work on the $3,- OOO,OQO factory will start in early spring. The ground is staked off ready for the builders. The Lehigh company knows that it is an age of cement and that Bir- mingham is an ideal place for it's manu- fracture and for it's distribution.
 The $4, 1000, 900 pressed steel car plant is another declaration of Birmingham's s assuredness
 V The Leonard Shoe company did not wait on business to pick up before locat- ing in Birmingham, but came in time to be here when business is brisk.

AN ELASTIC FIGURE

The woman who wants to appear
young must keep her figure not only
slender but elastic also. Plumpness
means maturity, too much fat over the
body destroys all beauty of line and
for slender curves substitutes Jumps
and bulges.
An artist would tell you that the
lines of youth are always flowing lines,
lines that seem to melt into each 9th
er, that give an impression of action
You will see the same principle in a
drawing when you look at badly
done wooden" figure that seems to
live upon the canvas. In the wood
en-" picture the lines are stiff, in the
well done one they are all lines of &C
ton
1t is this same principle of the liv
ing figure that makes one woman look
old and another one young. The young
figure is always elastic. Exercise is
the best way to achieve those lines OF
action and to keep the figure slender
and supple. The best exercises are
those which apply to the waist anc
back, since the mature figure is stiff
here and the young figure elastic.
Standing with the hands above the

head and STOPPING to touch the floor
with the finger tips is a splendid ex-
ervise for keeping the figure young.
particularly for keeping the back
young. Standing with the hands on
the hips and revolving the upper part
of the body without moving the hips
and using the waist as a pivot is splen-
did for reducing flesh on the abdom-

young.
Margie:-Very few girls wear cor
sets at IA years of age and many dc
not wear them at any age. The girl
who stands properly, and dresses in
clothing that is not burden to carry
does not need a corset, unless she is
very stout. Corsets are being more
and more s:mplified in lines, conform
ing to those OF the body and so soften
ed that the wearer is not in a straight
jacket as was thought proper many
years ago. The thing to do, is to put
off the day for wearing corsets as Ions
