PREDICTS 1922 AS
 PROSPERITY YEAR
Big TaICum Powder Head Says He Held Up Business
 by Advertising

Bill Mennen. alias Jim Henry" of the Mennen Chemical company. New ark N. J.. Is in town and brings with him as bouyant message as any master of business who has been to Birmingham in many months,
 His theory of 1922 is that the trend in all business will be gradually up- ward to goal that will mean stabili- zation and normality in industry.
 William G. Msnnen, head of the large talcum powder concern, whose label and name has been a byword with mothers for many years. tells a secret of the Menhen business which if followed out by other con cerns. might have spelled different type of answer for business this year he intimates.
 Plunged Ahead
 Instead of cutting down appropria- tions to meet the exigencies of what looked like bad year, our company plunged" he states.
 We increased our advertising and increased our sales force and did more sidered rather unusual thing for 1921"
 MT. Mennen is one of the foremost advertisers in the country.N He is the personal originator of the Jim Henry sales articles of national ad- Verusing note. He believes in all types of advertising, but favors the daily newspaper in the south due to the fact that it is inherently an ex- cellent medium and because national publications do not reach as saturated a point of circulation in this section as in other parts of the country
 Strikes Sectional Balance
 Our business as between sections was practically the same this year" he continued. Using the Mason Dixie line as a geographical counter we did within $7.000 as much busi- ness in the south as we did in the north. Consider population and con ditions and You will see that this is fine record for the south.
 The sale policy of the Mennen company is different than in most large concerns. We have two sales managers A southern man is in charge of the south, but has all north ern men under him, while a northern man is in charge of the north with all southern men under him. This is not premeditated as to sections. but has just worked out naturally"
 According to Mir Mennen the sale Of most talcum powder Is mostly a matter of personal favoritism for a certain scent, which varies from time Co time just like changes in ideas in other lines.

 Will Not Remarry
 Tumlin remained at his office throughout yesterday and reiterated what he says he told the masked band while they were beating him, that he would die before he would remarry his wife, whom he declared had wrecked his life.
 Flogging of Tumlin is the second whipping to be administered by g band of masked men in Jefferson county within the past few months. Several months ago a band of masked raiders took Mrs. Kate Alexander and a man named Cooley to the outskirts of the city and whipped them, giving them a limited time in which to leave town. Cooley left but the woman did not. Action of the band was flayed by Judge H. P, Heflin in a special charge to the grand jury and an ex- haustive investigation urged A num- ber of witnesses were examined by the jury but no indictments were re- turned and the identity of the masked raiders was never discovered

Grand Jury 10 Investigate
 Whipping of ". F. Tun1lin
 By a Band of Masked Men

Grand jury investigation into the flogging of w. E. Tumlin, Birming- ham attorney, by masked band on Red mountain Tuesday night, will b. begun when the eounty's investigat ing body is organized for the Janu ary term next Monday, according to Solicitor Joseph R. Tate yesterday. Meantime, the solicitor stated, his office will conduct an investigation into the case in an effort to sift the matter to the bottom and arrive at the identity of the masked men who whipped the lawyer, and other facts connected with the affair.
 Although no warrants were sworn out against anyone yesterday in con neetion with the case, Tumlin reiter- ated former statements that he was satisfied of the identity of some of his assailants and would institute criminal proceedings against them as soon as he had secured sufficient evil dence to justify the swearing out of warrants. He declares that he recog- piHeO the NolteS OI aeNSidi ni'Aib boi ' of the band as belonging to the rela- tives of his divorced wife, Mrs. Ella Louise Tumln.
 Conference between Tumlin and Chief of Police F. H. McDuff was held yesterday afternoon and it is stated, that the police department will also conduct thorough probe into the entire matter
 According to Tumlin he was enticed to a lonely spot on the mountain un- der pretense of wanting him to write a will where he was seized by band of masked men and severely beaten with a board or strap until the blood ran from him, after he had first been tied to a tree. His beating followed his refusal to comply with demands of the band that he remarry his wife from whom he was divorced several weeks ago, he says.
 According to the threats of the band as related by the attorney he is to be killed unless he remarrieS his wife by next Sunday. Tumlin stated yes- terday that he has received several mysterious telephone calls from un- identified persons since publication of his statement regarding the affair." He was threatened with death if he related the affair. he said. and be- HeNeS that the persons CdtllIB arc endeavoring to keep track of him by this means.
 Although declaring that he is COD vinced the affair was staged by rela- tives and friends of his divorced wife. Tumlin says he does not believe il was done with her knowledge or con sent as in recent letters since the separation she has expressed herself as being "as happy as the heart could wish.'
 In regard to the petition filed by her brother recently as next friend in which the court is asked to annul the divorce decree between Tumlin and his wife on grounds of her af- legged unsound mental condition. rum lin denies that his former wife is crazy and alleges that she consented to the original decree for divorce, which gave both the right to remarry. He does not believe that his wife. who has been at her fathers home in Georgia since the separation, knows anything about the filing of the peti-

ABlldtlOu or the question Was started when W. L. Harrison, com missioner of public utilities, parks and fairgrounds. made public his plan for reopening the dancing pier.
 Pershing pier, which is one of the largest and best dancing pavilions in the south, was erected at East Lake park at cost of S1S,0J0. 1t Is stated, and during the first season was operated as q municipal dancing hall. However, delegation of church women and ministers. it IS stated, appeared before the commits. sion and protested against the mu- nicipal dance hall, and the former city commission granted the reques, of the delegation and discontinued the operation of 1t.
 According to statements made yes terday afternoon, it is believed that D. l.. McLendon, president of the commissions; w. l.. Harrison, com missioner of public utilities. and Mrs. Mary Echols. commissioner of health and education, will favor the opera tion of the municipal dance hall un- der proper supervision and regula- ton, and Commissioners w. B. Cloe. of public safety, and W. E. Dickson. of public buildings. will oppose it.
 FaNOrS Operation
 When asked what he thought of the proposition, President McLendon said: "I have not given the matter much thought. but if the dance hall Is properly supervised and regulated and jazz music is omitted l will probably favor it. have never danced step in my life and am 8 member of the board of stewards of my church, but I realize that youth cannot be bottled up and must be given wholesome recreation. l can see no harm in permitting dancing at East Lake if it is well supervised, but I insist on proper supervision and regulation at all times"

 According to Roy Dillon, tax as sessor of the county. approximately 1,500 persons have been making their property assessments within the past few days. and this number is expect ed to be considerably increased to- day and tomorrow as the time for de- linquency draws nearer. Eleven clerks in the assessors office are be- ing kept busy throughout the day handling the crowds, he stated, each of the clerks averaging more than 100 persons each day.
 For the purpose of taking care of the late corners, it is stated, the as- sessor's office will be kept open to a late hour Saturday night. Persons who have not yet assessed their property are urged to do so as early as possible today and tomorrow in order that they may not run the risk of being disappointed by waiting until the last minute and then being crowded out by time.
 As fast as persons made their as- sessments yesterday they went to the tax collectors office with their assessment sheets and paid the taxes due them. According to officials at the collectors office, a large num- Der of payments are being received daily in the mails.
 A warning to those contemplating payment by mail not to wait too long before mailing their letters contain ing checks for the amounts due was issued yesterday by James E. flaw kins, tax collector.

The period of delivery and not of mailing Is what will de- termine the matter, he stated.
