 People s Money in One Year
Gives Examples Which He Claims Prove Present Board of Revenue Most Wasteful in County's History and
 Shows How County Is Deprived of Money

Charges that the present board of revenue as a body is the most waste ful in the history of the county. and that if they continue for the next three years the tactics pursued by them during the past 12 months they will have wasted by tho end of their tenure in office $6.O00. 900 of the poo Ples money. were made yesterday by 6. R. Batson, former county highway engineer and member of the state highway commission from Jefferson county.
 Batson charges that the present policy of the board. If pursued to the end of their term, will also result in ehe doors of the Hillman hospital and practically all of the other chArita- ble institutions maintained by the county being closed for lack of funds 70 operate them; the degeneration of the county highways into impossible mudholes and the return of the ooun- ey convicts to the mines.

BALL TO
 ADDRESS AXIS CLUB
 ON HEALTH MATTERS

Why 1t was necessary for the Jeff ferson county board of revenue to re duce the appropriation for health will be explained to members of the Axis club at it's meeting Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the ballroom of the Southern club. D. c. Ball. chairman of the boafd of revenue has consented to appear before this organization and tell the members why the county is poorer this year than it was last.
 Much interest has been manifested in the closing of the isolation hos pital and the proposed closing of the free clinic since the appropriation was reduced to such an extent that the operation of this home was impossi- ble and vigorous protests have been made by the various organizations re- garding this matter.
 In order that the women may learn why the health program as planned cannot be carried out Mfr. Ball has been asked to speak to them and answer any questions they may wish to ask on this subject

Manager for Standard
 Oil States Position
 on Gas Contract

D. H. Bohler, district manager for Alabama of the Standard oil com pany yesterday made the following statement of his company's position on the city oil and gasoline con- tract:
 "The city called for bids for the coming years supply and we sub mitted our bid in accordance with the specifications of the city. All of the bids made showed the same figure per gallon for gasoline. On the oils and lubricants our figures were the lowest by approximately $500. After the bids had been called for fin good faith and bids submitted in good faith it was proposed by one concern to have some kind of test.
 We therefore stood upon our orig inal bid because if the city had wished to attach any kind of special requirements or tests we felt that they should have been included in the first place. We do not consider the proposed test fair or of any vahe to the city In passing upon the bids which have already been submitted

Very keen eyes will go through those pictures and select the photo of the girl they think will screen best. Then sho will be given an actual try-out with the celebrated actor. Lew Cody. right on the stage of the local Alcazar theatre.
 You can imagine what a chance that will be.
 The popular idol will do all in his power to help the young woman selected. and may choose her for one of the five girls he is now selecting to appear in his coming pictures.
 This is one of the best ways in the world to find types" Your pie ture would reveal your suitableness for role much quicker. sometimes, than your actual stage presence. But. Lew Cody Is going to make sure that you are just the right girl to star with him by giving you the addi- tional big chance to make good with him on the local stage next Thurs day. Friday and Saturday.
 Girls all over the world have raved over Lew Cody, because he possesses that thing that all women lament and want to correct: certain indiffer- ence to love that they know he ought not to feel. They get mad at him and love him by turns; but he has done a great deal of good with his plays, and has made the world sit up and take notice of the type" which people do or do not like.
 It will be a great education for any girl to be associated with such an actor. For he has to be extreme ly versatile. and would naturally train his star" to be adept at meet ing mood with mood. Fuzzy Wood ruff, writer whom most everybody knows, says of Cody, as he really is: After having talked with him for the better part of an hour, I'm pretty we'll convinced that Cody is typical of the better days to come for the movies, and that he Is the embodi- ment of the real things of life rather than the little sham things of eX- istence which the movies have been insisting on cramming down the peo- pie willy-nilly for the past two or three years"
 Doesn't that sound good for the future of broadminded, clever pretty or ugly girl who would pc chosen as & presence" in the Cody plays? Cody writes his own scena-

icy. they will have wasted Ss,000, ,000. Already they are asking the people to vote Sl.000,000 worth Of bonds to pay county debts. and unless they change their policy by the end os their present term the people will bo called on to vote bond issues faster than they can be passed"
 Gives Examples
 Batson declared that an example of the wRstefulness of the present board was the expenditure during their first year of ss17,0O0 on tho public roads of the county. This is approximately $400.00O more than was ever spent by any previous board In a single year." he said. What has been done with this mon cyl The roads certainly don't show the result of any such expenditure. Now they are preparing to squan- der s1b0,00o of the peoples money on a lot of new trucks when the state has offered them as good and serv- iceabls trucks free of charge"
 He also asserted that the county could have had $260.0O0 of federal road funds for use in Jefferson coun- ty during the past 12 months If they had made application to the state highway department for such aid. Instead of making application themselves" he said, the board didn't even show the state the courtesy of replying to a letter re- questing them to make such an ap- plication, as far as I know.
 Eau to Get Refunds
 Tn addition to this the board of revenue could have had refunded to them S600,000 spent by the county on @ number of state and federal road Ntyh htNta 900, of which the state and federal government paid half and the county half If the board had shown the proper attitude by making applica- ton at the proper time to the state highway department this $600,000 ex- pended by the county would have been refunded under the laws of 1919 providing for refunding. in the dis erection of the state highway commis- sion, of an amount equal to the amount expended by county on projects. such refund to be made from funds derived from sale of road bonds. This work has been complet- ed several months. and no such ap- pltcation for refund has been made by the board.
 Tn addition" he said. ''there is ths Dunn contract, which will cost the county s100.000 if finally carried out as the board desires. Instead of con- corning themselves with these big amounts. the board strains at gnats and swallows camels by attempting to save money my looping off few thousands in appropriations to worthy charitable institutions neces- sary to the poor of the community and whose appropriations are already cut to the bone.
 "The board, either through action or inaotion, has deprived the people of thls county of the effective use of s1,60o,00O during their first year in office.-

 Get your picture into the contest. You may think you would not screen well. You may think you haven't got a chance.
 But how can you tell until you try? It's not beautiful women Cody Is looking for necessarily. Some plain or ugly actresses are paid a whole lot more than many pretty ones. It's personality that makes an appeal over everything.
