STREETS DAMAGED BY HEAVY RAINS Rains of Last Two Days Cost City Several Thousand
 Dollars

Washing of unpaved streets, espe ! cially on hillsides, and the weakening of bridge supports. where streams in low ground could not carry away the water fast enough, represents damage amounting to several thousand dollars. resulting from the heavy rains of Monday, Street Commissioner H. r. Burruss announced after a survey of the damage.
 In North Birmingham, the greatest damage in several years was rep>~ted by residents, caused by washing 0 of unpaved streets. Three bridges in Beverly Place, West End. one at Feachtree street, one at Randolph and one at Woodward avenues were great ly weakened by the rush of waters. and repair work was necessary yes- terday. Reinforcement of these bridges will be completed in a day or so.

 Paved streets were damaged only slightly, according to City Engineer Julian Kendrick. few wood blocks swelling. All repairs to paved streets damaged by the rain were completed before noon yesterday, he stated.

UNEMPLOYED COME
 HERE 10 GET JOBS
Birmingham's Activities Draw Hundreds of Work Seekers
 to This City

Unemployment in Birmingham has not changed materially during the past week. conditions marking time, H. E. Oliver. manager of the municipal and federal employment bureau in Che city hall, de- clared.
 The situation in Birmingham is af- fected in degree by the influx of job- hunters from other cities, particularly in the north, who come here because Bir- mingham is an active industrial center. Normally, MT. Oliver says, there is a stream of about 1000 transients who flow into Birmingham from November 1 to the last of February, to escape the rig ors of the northern winter. This winter their numbers have been swollen to about 2500 or 5000, composed of miscel- laneous workers, tradesmen and clerical help.
 As one of their number expressed it., they are merely in the south until the grass begins to grow again. Then they will trek back into the northern indus trial centers, in the hope of again ob- taining their old jobs or something as good or better.
 Condit ms cannot continue in their present Neutral state according to Mir. Oliver. Our industries are sound, and a few orders from a settled Europe will make things hum again, he believes.

BOTH AMENDMENTS
 APPARENTLY LOST; GOOD ROADS CLOSE
Early Returns Indicate Over WheIming Defeat of the Suf- frage Amendment-Indif-
 ference Marks Election

On the face of scattering returns of the election yester- d ay from the precincts throughout Jefferson county the suffrage amendment has been overwhelmingly defeated the vote against the proposi- tion being over four to one, and while the vote on the good roads amendment is close indi- cations are that it will also be defeated.
 From over score or more of boxes heard from tie vote on the suffrage amendment stood at POI for and l,SS4 against On the goods roads amendment Is1i for and s22 against. Many of the boxes were returned to the sheriff with out a report of the vote on the out side and it will take the official can vass to determine the vote cast. The election was marked both by the indifference of the voters generally and of the persons designated as election managers and clerks. In some instances not one of the parties named showed up, and it was late in the day before sub stitutes were provided. and the polls opened.
 Election officials declare that the vote yesterday was one of the lightest on record, and that some boxes, especially in downtown districts, scarcely tenth of the electors registered cast their bal lot Of those who did vote about one third was composed of women.
 Al noon two boxes in Norwood had not been opened, election officers failed to show up and voters in those precincts called NJ. F. Morris, chairman of the board of registrars, to ascertain what they should do. He instructed them to get some voters to serve and 10 open the polls and allow the electors Ill that precinct to vote
 In one of the largest boxes in the city, where 1000 voters are assigned to cast their ballot only los persons voted. In the other box at the courthouse only S5 votes were cast
 Women were in the minority in voting according to election officials at the courthouse, and out of S5 votes only 10 women voted. Other city boxes reported the same apathy as did the supurpan nolling places. while in the rural sec tions there was practically no voting at all
 Never at any one time was there crowd around the polls, as is usually the case in elections, it is stated, and those voting seemed utterly indifferent as 10 the outcome of the election.
 In some of the downtown boxes cleo tion officers stated that the number or men were about equal, and that the wo- men were taking more interest in cast ing their ballots than were the men,

Poicevon1an Puts Taboo
 On Facial Decorations
By CHARLES H. MANDY


 you must have noticed the striking comparison. The painting is a thing or beauty, while the chief points about chromo are it's high color ings and it's general appearance of eheapness. Furthermore, a. chromo Is cheap, cheap in price, cheap in ef- feet, cheap in every detail Little girl, listen: If you must paint don't be a chromo
 Another thing in connection with the excessive use of cosmetics Many young girls addicted to their use have sufficient attractiveness "unadorned" to dispense with them entirely. Whats the odds, little girl. if you have a freckle or two on your dear little nose As rule, freckles bespeak sound health and buoyant vivacl.y. They mean an acquaintance with fresh air and Gods glorious sunshine. with out which men and women, as well as flowers and plants, wither and die. When you begin to fade. grille dear, it will be time enough to resort to camouflage.
 Now, as to Mrs. Newsome's pro- posed washing bee. let me remind you that in the days of the diaphanous skirt, through whose shimmering folds one could plainly discern the more or less graceful contour of a girrs-well, anyway, the color of her garters, Mrs. Wilson Searight, then the city's poiicewoman, took a hand in the mat ter.
 When she saw a girl on the street whose skirt-singular number-was light as gossamer and of such transparency that one could tell whether she wore them long or short. she would call taxi and order the wearer home to put on more clothes. It only took two or three such incl dents to bring about the desired re- suits, and the girls with the trans parent neither garments took to cover.
 Mrs. Newsome IS of the opinion that one or two face washings will have corresponding results.
 In conclusion, girls, do not imagine that Mrs. Newsone is doing this just for meannesS" for that is fur therest from her inclination or de- sire. Like Mrs. Searight. she is a lovabie, big-hearted, motherly woman. and it is because she loves you and has your interest really at heart that she would place the ban on the too highly decorated countenance.
 But she is in earnest about this mat ter, and our advice is, the next time you come downtown, leave your drug store complexion at home, for if you persist in wearing highly colored facial decorations you are liable to have your face washed, whether you will or no,

WANTS REFERRING ON
 HIGHWAY AMENDMENT

The Junior Chamber of Commerce has gone on record as favoring a rehearing of the highway roads amendment by the state supreme court and, in the event the rehearing is not favorable, it urges special session of the legislature to re- submit .the amendment to the people
 The resolutions adopted recite the ac- ton of the people of Alabama in voting overwhelmingly for the roads amend- ment, thus showing their earnestness in the matter. and calls attention to the loss of federal road aid in case the amendment is not upheld or re-eAacted.
 After reciting the reasons for it's po- sition, the resolutions adopted by the junior chamber, read:
 The Junior Chamt&r of Commerce or Birmingham respectfully and urgently requests his excellency, the governor Of Alabama, to take such steps as may to him seem necessary to carry out the policy approved by the voters of the state, and if a rehearing is not granted by the supreme court and the decision re- versed. to call an extraordinary ses- sion of the legislature so as to enable this state to receive the $3,000oOo to which it is entitled, and which will be lost unless action is taken within the next few months
