JAILS CRITICISED BY GRAND JURORS.
Record Amount Of Business Handled By Body During
 Overtime Session

Criticism of the county and city jails as inadequate to meet present needs, high praise for the Hillman hospital as deserving the Class A rating accorded 1t by the American College of Surgeons. commendatiCn of the juvenile court as being in first-class condition in practically every respect, and general approval of conditions found at Trussville and Rosedale convict camps, the county farm and the aImshouse, were lead ing features of the report of the grand jury to Judge H. P. Heflin, made public Wednesday. The report is based upon a session lasting Is days, during which time 921 wit nesses were examined and 279 indict- ments filed.
 Health and general conditions are very good at the Alabama Boys 1n- dustrial school, according to the re- port, which adds that 354 boys were enrolled. It was recommended, how ever, that the per capita appropria- $240 to s300 the difference to be spent in supplying better material with which the boys might work and increase the staff by the em- ployment of additional assistants. A further recomm mendation was that outage po plINAueu AOA NSAS JS9 boys.
 The State Training School for Girls Is housed In modern, well ar ranged buildings. the report adds, and the manner in which they are cared for speaks well for the man agement. However, a shortage of room, 1t is pointed out, pupils being housed in the school laundry and attic. Acquisition of several addi- tional acres of land to supplement the 22 acres now in use is urged. as & wise and much needed step.
 "We find that the management has some trouble on account of the fences which enclose the property being too near the buildings the report continues. With some addi- tional acreage, this condition could be remedied, and the school will profit thereby. Suitable equipment should be installed immediately to provide opportunities for these girls to make preparation to be self-sup- porting and independent after leav- ing the school The problem of the delinquent girl is one of the most serious of the grave problems of to- day and we should give these under privileged girls a square deal.
 Special praise was bestowed upon Mrs. Sarah c. Douglas. superinten- dent, and Miss May Irene McCord assistant superintendent, for their management of the institution.
 Other recommendations were for more adequate protection against fire of court records, more suitable Cffice facilities for the use of the clerk of the criminal court, and the immediate acquisition of site for new county buildings.

.CONF FUSION REIGNS IN AUTO LICENSES WITH ADDE ] FORGE
Three New Clerks Fail To Re- Iieve Steady Stream Of
 Automobile Owners

Three additional clerks authorized by the board of revenue at Tuesdays meeting have been put to work in the probate office to help expedite the handling of applications for auto mobile licenses, but little speeding up of the macnlnery resulted.
 There is still considerable con- fusion among taxpayers regarding the formalities to be gone through in obtaining license tags for their ma chimes, as shown by the long lines in the various offices Wednesday. As cording to Alabama laws, a car owner must first go to the tax assessor office and fill out an assessment blank, and then, armed filth the proper credentials, he must file his application for a license. This was credited Wednesday by an official In Collector Hawkins office with being responsible for mucn of the confusion and delay
 With only about 1000 automobiles licensed during the first three days of the month and total of 30,000 to license, the county authorities are falling behind the schedule which it Is necessary to maintain in order to get the last license issued before the expiration of the time limit on No vember 15. Approximately 500 were licensed Wednesday,
 L. A. Whitstone, chief clerk in the tax assessors office, said Wednesday morning that the machinery of his bureau was moving along smoothly, but added that it must be made to function more rapidly. He reports that there was considerable con fusion among the general public as to- the exact procedure and much waste effort was Inevitable under such circumstances.
 The line of applicants Is frequently held up by the necessity of explain ing and justifying the wisdom of some of the new laws, certain pro visions of which many people find 1t difficult to understand.
 Approximately 500 licenses were issued Wednesday, practically the same as issued Tuesday. Only 200 business licenses have been issued out of total of 6,60O that are to be issued. The time limit for these licenses is November 1, or 15 days be- fore that of automobile licenses.

ARTISTS TO SEEK
 1923 SCHOOL r FUNDS
Educational Board Holds A Meeting Here To Discuss
 Next Years Finances

Discussions Wednesday of the edus oatlonal board of the Southern Bap- tist convention, which went into ses- sion at the First Baptist church Wednesday, covered recommenda- tions to be made to the next South ern Baptist convention which meets in Atlanta next May, regarding money to be allotted to Baptist edu- cation of the south in the next cam paign to be staged after the S75, 00,- 900 campaign is over.
 The entire morning session was given over to discussions of the ap- propriations which will be asked for the 119 Southern Baptist colleges, by prominent Baptists representing IS southern states. The educational board will likely ask for practically the same amount allotted to religi- ous education in the last campaign, according to pr. A. R. Bond, edi- torial secretary.
 The quota for Alabama's three colleges, Howard. Judson and New ton, amounted to $S91,O00 in the s75,- 000,000 campaign. It was stated these schools have not received this amount, owing to the fact that many pledges have not been paid. It is expected these colleges will ask for more for the next five years.
 Arrangements for the plan of the new campaign will be worked out when the convention meets in At lanta. The new campaign will be launched following the terminus of the present campaign which is De- cember 1925. Many believe the new campaign will not be for a certain amount. but will be 8 campaign of proportionate and systematic giving.

READ WILL CONFE FER ON DRY S|TUAT| |ON
Temporary Director Leaves Friday For Discussion With
 Commissioner Haynes

Edgar N. Read, temporary prohibi- tion director for Alabama, will leave Friday afternoon for Washington, where he will have a conference with Director of Prohibition Roy B.. Haynes relative to the prohibition situation in Alabama. This is be- lieved to be the first move of the department for the placing of corps of agents in the state and the recu- peration of the directors office since the shake-up last summer. when the assistant director and four of the agents were indicted by the federal grand jury in September for in- Judgements of the prohibition law.
 MT. Read stated Wednesday morn ing the conference would. bear only on the agents working in the de- partment. He stated. however. that the directorship might come up.
 MT Read will remain in Washing ton for a week to visit with his family.
 Delays in the reorganization of the Alabama department have been caused through the death of former President Warren G. Harding, and the sickness of Commissioner Haynes, he stated.
 During the past few months sev- eral appointments have been made to the prohibition field force. MT. Read has maintained secret methods in the appointment, not permitting any of the appointees' names reach ing the public. He stated his reason for this was that the men can work to a better advantage when their names are not known.
 Several applicants for the position of director have also come through the directors office. Several others have been mailed direct to Wash ington

BLACKHEADS SHOW YOU ARE CARELESS
Tremendous Use of the Fa- nous Black and White Beauty Creations Is
 Proving This More
 and More Every Day

Not so long ago renowned au- thority on the care of the complex ion said: Show me a person who has ugly blackheads in their face and neck, and I will show you one who is either not giving their skin any attention and care at all, or is careless in not using the one sure and easiest way to keep these complexion ruiners away"
 How true this is Women and girls especially will try to hide blackheads instead of getting rid of them, and it is really so easy to do 1t there is no excuse for anyone being humiliated by going along the street showing that they do not give their skin the proper care.
 Just take a few seconds every night and first clean the face with Black and White Cleansing Cream; then, after wiping this off with a towel, apply film of Cold Cream to be absorbed by the skin to supply the oils which the wind and weather have beaten out during the days ex- posture.
 This makes your skin live, active, and blackheads literally wash out after you do this one or two nights because they are softened and forced out by the fine ingredients rsed in making the Black and White Beauty Creations You will be so delighted with the way these Creations make and keep your skin clear, rosy and charming that you won't let night go by without giving your face these few seconds of attention.

VETERANS ARE WARNED TO PAY TAX TO VOTE
Morris Points Out Election Later
 Will Decide Exemption Plan

Attention was called Wednesday morning by M D. Morris, chairman of the board of registrars, to mis- taken idea regarding the exemption of veterans of the World war from the poll tax. Mir. Morris pointed out that former service men were not exempt from poll taxes for the year 1923 and that they will be required to pay before they are entitled 10 vote.
 The act exempting them provided for exemption only up to 1923, he said. There is to be an election later to extend the exemption indefinitely. Mir. Morris pointed out that failure to pay the 1923 tax will prevent them from voting on this extension.
 The law provides that all poll taxes must be paid before February 1, 1924.
