livering $4,000

When the water gate was lifted
at Mitchell Dam few days ago and
the weight of the Coosa river bore
upon Unit No. l. over $500, 900 pounds
of machinery was set in motion, pro-
viding $4,000 additional hydroelectric
energy for Alabama and, in emer-
gencies, for four other states, Geor-
gia, Tennessee, North and South
Carolina.
Two more units of the same horse
power will start in steps of 80 to
4o days, so that by summer the dam
will be furnishing $4,000 additional
horsepower of hydroelectricity.
The additional power just coming
In was in demand before it began IA
flow, owing to the maximum opera
tons of cotton mills, mines, steel
mills and other Alabama Industries,
as we'll as the increasing demand
for electricity in the homes.
The water wheel in Unit l is OF
the very latest type and was designed
to get the utmost flow of the river.
1t weighs Al tons and has a circum-
ference Of Is feet, 10 inches. Under
full capacity or head" it will utilize
1000 cubic feet of water per min
ute. Each unit Is housed separately,
the river flowing over the top of
the dam between them during high
water.
A crane. capable of lifting ESQ tons,
is used for lifting the gatest which
set the units in motion and for
handling heavy repair parts. Pas
senger elevators make more easily
accessible the different parts to the
men in charge.

ing the case was from the start that
DR.. Bowling had been logged by
dahymen who disapproved of his
methods of controlling the milk sup
ply in the Birmingham district and
were unwilling to abide by sanitary
regulations he placed in effect. The

CHICAGO, March 1.-Two thou
sand police stood guard today over
alleged disorderly houses in Chi
cago. Chief of Police Charles G..
Fitzmorris ordered officers stationed
at the front and rear doors OF
every suspected place.
Three women and five men were.
arrested early in the day in raid

Fitzmorris recently was criticized
by welfare workers, who charged
that vice flourished in what they
called the wickedest city in the
world" His critics were predicting
now. that an outbreak of crimes
would result, with which the re.
mainder of the department would be
unable to cope.
Chief Justice Mckinley, who re-
jected grand jury report ex-
onerating Fitzmorris in its vice in

for another investigation, commented
thus on the new order:
IF the chief sees fit to station

BEST WAY TO END
BAD COMPLEXION
Lasting Results Can Now
Be Had by Using Fam
GUS Black and White
Creations.

When girls and women realize they
have become victims OF a bad COM
pIexion they seem to forget all reason
and try most anything they hear of
which promises relief, without finding
out the one sure and safe way to get rid
of blackheads, pimples, blotches and
rough, unpleasant skin.
Thousands of these girls and women
have learned that simply giving their
com plexion the care it ought to have
regularly by using Black and White
Cleansing Cream to clean out of the
pores every particle of dust, grease and
other injurious things which might come
in contact with the skin during the day
when it is exposed to everything, will
bring back and preserve that lovely.
soft. smooth complexion of earlier years.
Then, when the skin is soothed AFTER
nights rest from the previous days ex-
posture. first use a. little Black and White
Peroxide Cream before you put on your
face powder. This viii hold the powder
on your face so you won't have to keep
putting on more powder. every few min
utes to keep your skin exquisite.
