 THE AGE-HERALD !
Bessemer, Ala, March 4

The presentation of the record made to Mrs. E. M. Owen at a largely attended gathering at the First Meth odist church Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock. Miss Maud Buck presided making the presentation speech, to which Mrs. Owen responded feeling ly, and an interesting program was carried out. The cup was awarded Mrs. Owen by a committee repre- senting several organizations on be- half of G. W. Leggett, the donor.
 Mrs. W. J. Long. a colleague of Mrs. Owen. who has been associated with her in charitable work for 30 years made the principal talk, outlining the early relief work dons by band of 10 women, of whom they were two. This body of women, after sev- eral years of work, organized the United Charities. and as such at- tracted the attention of business men, who supported their work on large scale. Later the organization estab- lished what Is now the Elizabeth Duncan Memorial hospital, and Mrs. Owen has been president for the past 70 years.
 M. J. Brooks, winner of the 1921 loving cup. paid touching tribute to Mrs. Owen, stating that she had earned the title of Mother Owen," by which she is known to hundreds in the district. Rev. W. P. Price paid a tribute to J.. w. Leggett, saying that perhaps MT. Leggett had done more to promote civic righteousness than any other person in the city. He brought out the point that the giving of the loving cup annually was only one of the many benevo- fences offered by MT. Leggett.
 A musical program was carried out by the Methodist choir, under the di- rection of Miss Nellie Adams, vocal solos being given by W. P. Schantuz, Miss Marion Neal. Mrs. l.. R. McGriff, while T. B. Waller offered an organ prelude.

SEEK HEALTH MEASURES


 Sanitary regulations for the smaller municipalities of lower Jefferson county are being sought by the coun- ty board of health. under the direc- tion of V. o. Bishop, inspector for this district, and recently the town of Lipscomb adopted an ordinance re- quiring sanitary pits and closets for {that community. A similar ordinance lis now being considered by the town of Brighton, and 1t Is stated that it will pass the city council at its next meeting
 The new ordinance will require building of sanitary toilets by the property owners and construction of sanitary pits by the town. This will apply largely to tenant houses It Is stated that Brighton will adopt this ordinance as soon as funds can be raised to meet the expense.
 County health officials say it Is urgent that these two towns adopt this law, as in this way all munich palities and mining camps in this district will then be under a uniform law. All the company camps in the district are now operating under the county regulations.

Corsets 1t Must Be,
Old "T unk" DEGREES

Since Tutankhamen brought the
craze for Egyptian styles to its height
there has been in the world OF fashion
another resurrection of lesser ANTIGUA
tv, but of no less interest to women.
Corsets, after being banned by the
hygiensts and abandoned by the style
makers, are coming back
The same hygienists who formerly
condemned it now say it is necessary
support, especially for those girls and
women who indulge in active sports.
The dressmakers, with the producers
of tailor-made gowns in the lead, have
acted on this recommendation, and
their new spring styles are made for
wear with corsets.
The feminine preference appears
still to be for the soft clinging dra-
peries of the chemise frock, but there
is some movement in favor OF the
modes of 1880. Several attractive crea-
tons with close-htting bodices and
curved waists above full gathered
skirts are being shown, and with such
success as to revive hope on the part
of the corset makers.

erence to the Georgia motor vehicle

erence to the Georgia motor vehicle
laws.
"The scope of the law should be
enlarged so that, instead OF covering
simply motor vehicles, the law should
apply to all vehicles. This can be
done by striking out the word motor,
SO that the law will be the Georgia
vehicle law
In addition to this, which IS one OF
the several amendments the depart
ment will ask for, the official maya
zine says the law should require all
vehicles using the public roads at
night to be equipped with warning
lights.
"Our law" it says, permits auto
Pmobiles to operate at speed OF 81
miles an hour, and it is frequently i'm
possible to stop an automobile in time
to avoid a collision with a wagon. For
their own safety as well as the safe
ty of the general public, all vehicles
should be required to carry light at
night, visible from front and rear"
Serious objection is made to the per-

IF SKIN BREAKS
OUT AND ITCHES
APPLY SULPHUR


Just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching. burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says noted skin spe-
cialist This sulphur preparation, made
into a pleasant cold cream, gives such
a quick relief, even to fiery eczema
that nothing has ever been found to
take its place
Because of its commissioning prop
critics, it quickly subdues the itching,
coo1s the irritation and heals the eczema
right up leaving a clear, smooth skin
in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pim-
pies or roughness.
You do not have to wait for improve
ment. 1t quickly shows. You can get
a little jar of Rowles Mentho-Sulphur
at any drug store.

MOTOR VEHICLE LAW
SHOULD BE CHANGED
SAYS HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
MANY DRASTIC REFORMS
ARE ADVOCATED.

The Georgia highway department
has come out strongly for some dras-
tic and sweeping amendments to the
present state motor vehicle law,
which controls use of the public roads
as well as the tax levied for road pur-
poses. The department wants, among
other things, to have the next session
OF the legislature amend the present
law so as to cut out entirely the word
motor and make the law apply to
everything using the roads and, there
fore, to be known as the Georgia
vehicle law"
In the first issue OF the highway
departments official publication, a
magazine called Georgia Highways,
which is just from the press, the de-
partment says:
From time to time progress in
construction work and changes in
types of construction make amend
ments to the existing laws very neces-
sary. Such conditions exist with ref

and other equipment which has on
the wheels cieats and spikes on the
public roads. 1t is pointed out that
this form of equipment does more
damage to the highways than any
other and that "roads should be pro-
tected from damage by such traffic.
The roads are built from taxes on the
general public and it is hardly right
for few operators to do unnecessary
damage"
Under the present law, says the OFF,
cial magazine, saw mill operators are
allowed to use tractors on the public
roads, and with them to draw trailers,
on neither of which state license tags
are required. This the department says
should be corrected.
