NATURE LOVES BRIGHT coLoRs

We see the truth OF this statement
in the yaricolorod flowers, the vivid
sunsets, the birds of brilliant plumage.
But we never see it eXemplified more
attraetivcly than in the person OF a
apleudidly healthy woman. How
does nature pain. this health? Why,
in the rosy checks, the transparent
skin, the smooth req lips Of such Il
woman And she molds il in firm
flesh and rounded contours. The all
ing woman Is deficient in natural
coloring, and she does not even APP
pear to advantage in clothes that
would set off her more attractive

Glenn Outlines Necessity .Of $5, 900, 900 Bond Issue 10
 ImproUe School Systexe

"The principal object for the is- suance of S5,000.00 additional school bonds, in the eyes of the superinten- dent of the city school and the board of education or Birmingham, is to enable those in authority to replace the unsightly stores. tents and tenn porary structures now used to teach the youth and the hope of this city, with modern schools of which the cit izenship of such an unparalleled in dustrial center will feel proud" de- elared Dr. C. B. Glenn yesterday. in an interview with a representative of The Age Herald.
 What is a modern school? It is
 one that should contain an audi torium, lunch room, gymnasium and be equipped with sanitary and healthy ventilating, lighting and seating conditions. it was stated, not a single school building in Birming
 ham contains all three, emphasized .. the superintendent.
 The date has been set. May B. when the citizenship of Birmingham will decide the $7,000.000 bond is I sue, consisting of S5,000.000 for schools, S750,0 600 for library purposes s750.000 for additional park and play ground funds and $500. .000 for an au- ditoriumy the amount of tax neees- sary being F mills for school pur- poses and F for interest and retir- ing bonds,h said Dr. Glenn, and as superintendent of Birmingham s l schools. l expect to exert every eff fort with the other school officials, to present the cold facts and condi- tions as they truly exist"
 Who Will Direct
 As to who will direct the eXpendi- ture of the additional school funds, should the bond issue be approved, Dr. Glenn stated that the following legal requirement. would be observed to the letter:
 All local school moneys raised for the support of public schools by tax ation or otherwise, shall be appor- toned and expended in the district or districts or counties in which the same were raised, and under such rules and regulations as the county or city board of education. as the case may be, may prescribe.
 Personnel of Board
 'I would like for you to list, in this connection, the names of the board of education of Birmingham" con- tinued Dr. Glenn, flor I am like to say that a more capable group of business men and women could not be assembled than: W.

Chairman of Speakers Com-
 mittee Will Use Alabama Power Company Station For
 Sending Speech

Auburn, It's Past, Present and Flu ture" will be the subject of radio address tomorrow night by Frank Dominiek which will be broadcast by the station of the Alabama Power company, locate. at 1921 Powell ave nue.
 MT. Dominick, who is chairman of the speakers bureau of the Greater Auburn campaign in Birmingham, has made a number of speeches dur ing the campaign, but this will be tho first formal address which has been broadcast throughout Alabama and the south during the campaign. Several informal talks on Auburn have been sent out during the tests of the big station of the Alabama Power company.
 "One of the livest organizations as sisting in the Greater Auburn cam paign is the Auburn club consisting of former A. r. l. students, who are now connected with the Alabama Power company. according to Charles F. DeBardeleben. general chairman. This club, which consists of practi- cally 50 engineers, chemists and other former Auburn men, organized at a meeting held in Birmingham March 1 and promised General Chairman DeBardeleben that they would raise or SuBScIlDe 9iV,uuU WnitH Wpulu pc 1 per cent of the goal of S1,000,000
 "Of the 46 Auburn men employed by the company, 30 have already subscribed and the other 16 will do so at an early date, according to in formation we have received" de- clared Mir. DeBardeleben. "The 30 who have already subscribed made up total of $3,022, which is more than $100 per man and additional sums are coming in every few days from these men. This is record which may well be emulated by other alumni of Auburn for l am con vinced that if every Auburn man con tributes as much as he can, with the help we have received from the public that we will be sure to get the $1,000.00o.

of the Bank of Ensley; Mrs. A. W. Bell, #oodiawn, wife of the presi- dent of the Woodlawn bank, and pr. F. P Hogan, prominent Birmingham physician,
 Tn discussing the facts about building conditions among our schools the first important fact to be taken into account is that the total enrolment of pupils at this time is 9,555 as against 22,36S for 1911. or an increase of TT per cent or 171S7. This phenomenal increase has been taken care of by the com pletion of only one school building the Acipco school with six class rooms"
 situation Abnormal
 In 1911, the number of pupils taught by one teacher was, on an average s1, which is about normal but now each teacher has 43 for an average. which means that because small rooms are being necessarily used in every school district, tho number runs as high as 50 to 50 pupils per teacher in 8 great many instances.
 Did you know that of the ss.555 children. who are being taught in Birmingham today, only 15.54S are 
 ings; that 11.599 are being taught in rooms which though intended for classes, are not fit to be in that 12,- 40S are housed in temporary quar- ters; that STA are receiving instruc ton in single sessions daily, and that thousands are being taught in stores, tents and similarly unfit places which a mental as well as a physical hardship on the youth of the city?
 Intend To Visit Schools
 pr. Glenn stated further that he would like for the people who haven't already done so and registered a complaint, to visit the schools in their immediate districts, and view the situation as it really is.
 At the recent meeting of the Ala bama Educational association Jno. T Tigert, United States commissioner of education, made a striking statement which should be the slogan of Bir- mingham. I think, where industrial riches and possibilities abound In such incomparable proportions" de- clared the official. The statement is that: Great cities are not made wealthy by raw materials but by brains, and the south has contributed to the school systems of the eastern and northern cities long enough"
 This concluded pr. Glenn, lis the keynote to the whole situation. if the real truth and application of this statement will be fully appreciated here in Birmingham"

A BIT OF ADVICE

Milk cans have the same relation to wholesale trade as the milk bottles to the retail trade, and 1t is just as important that they be washed immediately after being emptied. Milk dealers have ap- pliances for washington and ster- ilizing cans, but this does not ex- cuse the buyer from rinsing them before they become sour as a re- suit of the multiplication of ba- teria in the film of milk left in the can. Cans that become foul in this way are hard to clean when they arrive at the plant.
 Investigations show that hotels, restaurants, bakeries, and other places which buy milk in whole sale quantities do not always give proper attention to containers. As soon as cans are emptied they are placed on the doorstep or left in a warm room until collected py' the dealer. They return to the plant teeming with bacteria, and the mechanical washers will not always clean and sterilize them thoroughly. They must be soaked, washed by hand with brush, then sent to the machine washer.
 Consumers can help a great deal in making it easier to maintain a safe milk supply. All that is needed is little care at the rigEt time.
