NE VI DAIRY PLANT SUNDAY SURF RISE
Hundreds Pay Visit To Milk Distributing Center Of Jeff
 ferSon Dairymen

Hundreds of Birmingham and Jeff ferson county citizens Sunday visited the milky way as represented by the new plant of the Jefferson Dairy company at Twenty eighth street and seventh avenue, north. Surprised ex- pressions were noted on the majority of countenances as the throngs visited the various departments of what is claimed to be the most mod ern milk plant in the south. Open house will be held again from 10 to ? o'clock Monday
 Entering the building, observers passed through the pasteurizing room into the bottle-filling room. There they saw three automatic bottle filters busy, handling 120 bottles per minute. Germproof bottles, filled with pasteurized milk and automati- cally capped with sterilized caps, without coming into contact with hu man hands, bring scientifically handled milk to Birmingham consum- CTS. officers of the company claim. Numerous skylights flood each room with daylight and fresh air, making it practically impossible for bac- teria to be concealed or develop, it was stated.
 Next the spectable of golden mass of butter, 1000 pounds, greeted the eyes Young women, in white dresses. their hands protected by rubber gloves, wrapped one-fourth pound packages. Charlotte rousse, pimento sandwiches, ladyfingers, buttermilk and sweet milk were served to the crowds as they passed through the product room.
 Housewives and restauranteurs were apparently surprised to see the new 6,500-pound per hour cream separator turning out whipped cream on the mezzanine floor.
 As an important factor in sanitary control of all dairy products handled. the laboratory for making butter fat moisture and acid test was then dem onstrated The huge bottle washer and the pasteurizing room, turning out 4,000 gallons of pasteurized milk per hour, were other features appre- cated. Mrs. Pearl Crawford, county home demonstration agent, explained the value of milk as food to the visitors.
 Many expressions were heard as backs were turned on the plant that the Jefferson county dairymen had built a mechanism that was a credit to the city, placing Birmingham ahead of other cities fin the south in insuring pure milk supply.

Suppose Nobody Cared" Slogan For Community Chest Campaign

This appealing slogan-a slogan which effectively presents the com munity's responsibility toward it's unfortunates-has been adopted by the Community Chest directors for the campaign which begins in Bir- mingham December 8, on behalf of some 30 charitable institutions and welfare agencies which gre caring for the needy, the sick, the young and the aged.
 Directors of the Community Chest campaign propose to engrave this slogan on the hearts of the commun- ity before the drive for funds be- gins.
 Every citizen of Birmingham must recognize his share in this com munity responsibility said Carson Adams. chairman of the campaign, Sunday. No one. if he would, can shake 1t. off, can deny the fact that he is his brothers keeper, for just as surely as a stream can rise nc

 This concert offered at popular prices, brings Birmingham to a par ity with cities like St. Louis and Cleveland, where the best singers are presented at low prices under civic patronage. In Cleveland especially are music lovers enabled to see and hear the best the art affords.

higher than it's source. so surely no form of society can progress beyond the limitations which are set by its weakest members.
 Suppose nobody really cared? Do you think that any citizen of Bir- minghsm could remain a good citizen watching the children starve under his very eyes? It is when there is no other way, when there is no one to whom to turn, when nobody cares. that good citizens, normal human be- ings under normal conditions, are led astray from the paths of right living, law and order. Every man, for his own salvation if for no other for hi sown salvation if for no other reason, must be his brothers keeper. This is why the directors of the Com munity Chest campaign which starts December 8, with one drive instead of some 30 drives for 80 institutions, feels confident that Birmingham Is going to prove 1t cares"

Senator Mcclellan Says Com mittee Will Ask McCor-
 mick Bill Passage

NEW ORLEANS, La. Oct. 2S.-The special Senate committee, which has been conducting hearings on the Mc- Cormick deeper waterway bill throughout the Mississippi valley, disbanded here today after making a trip of inspection of the harbor as the guests of the New orleans dock board on the boards steamer Alex andria.
 The committee, composed of Sena- tors Kenneth D. McKeIIar of Ten nessee, Smith W. Brookhart of Iowa and Edwin s. Broussard of Louisiana, concluded the hearings here yes terday.
 The senators displayed great in- terest in the operations of the dock board and especially the municipal cotton warehouses and grain ele- vators.
 Senator McKellar said that the committee was prepared to make a favorable report on the Mccormick bill and that it would ask President Coolidge to urge it's passage in his address to Congress.
 "Of course. I realize we will have a fight in Congress to obtain pas sage of the bill but if we people of  the great middle valley will remain united. as we are now, be just and even generous. if necessary toward one another'ss interests and together make great pull, the dream of the ages will be accomplished and the great Lakes and the gulf will be united in the great prosperity and happiness of our people.
 Tt Is the imperative duty of Con gress to join up the ocean-going merchant marine and our inland waterways, and there Is no better way to do this than by the compile tion of the proposed channel project, and I believe that with the co-ordi- mated effort just mentioned Congress will hold the same view"
 Senators McKellar and Broussard departed for their homes tonight and Senator Brookhart left for Camp Benning, Ga, on official business.

C0URTSHIP, MARRIAGE
By BETTY VINCENT

Dear Miss Vincent: What do you think of youn man like this? Every tine I go out with him he tells me something different about himself. One time he will say he is going to be a lawyer, another time that he wants to be a dentist. He always makes a joke of it, but feel hurt to think he can juggle with my feelings that way. Frequently he says things which cut me to the bone. Do you think I should give him up?
 "WORRIED." Q
 If you are naturally sensitive you will never understand a man like this. Since he worries you, I would adviseAyou to give up his friendship.
 Dear Miss Vincent: I am a girl of 16 and madly in love with a very attractive young nan two years my senior. Every time meet him he says Hello, Miss So and So,' and that worries me immensely because detest being called Miss! Could you advise me how to make him call me by my first name? T. T. T."
 The young man is doing the con ventional thing. If your friendship grows stronger he will call you by your first name then.
 Dear Miss Vincent: A question is troubling my girl friend and me. We are both juniors in high school and good looking, witty and not bashful. However. at the school dances we are not popular and are seldom asked to dance. We would appreciate it If you could throw some light upon this matter R..
 Probably the very fact that you keep together so much makes the young men think you are contented with each others society. Try going into the dances sincly.

what you are like. What your tastes are, whether you, work or keep house and what are your requirements. She needs only tiny bit of en- couragement from you and the best of her services, attention and imagi- nation will be at your disposal.
 A little thing happened to me this year in Indianapolis that I think proves this method must be a trlfle unusual. I had been there nine weeks last year and during that time had gone a few times to a certain counter in department store. A day or two after my arriving In In dianapolis this year I went to the counter and found there the same girl as last. I had chatted with her two or three times but little thought she would remember me. To my great pleasure she immediately welcqSned me back, said she was glad to see me and even remem- bered the brand of article I had pre- ferred the year before.
 In Paris the personal touch be- tween. seller and buyer is impera- tive. One gets very badly treated indeed if one treats the saleswoman as lay figures or automatons.~ Here the purchaser Is sadly spoilt in that respect I think.
 It Counts More Than Money. I must confess. however. that, un- | like her American cousin, the French woman only takes that great interest after she has discovered two things First, that you realize that she Is a personality; second, that you are in- terested and ready to give time and thought to your appearance your self.
 In the opinion of the French woman these two factors are much more important than the number or cost of the dresses you may buy.
 So my first idea is that we should begin by interesting the saleswoman in us and our personalities and thus educate her to study each individual that walks into her store. But as said(and will take up more fully) to do this We must first have dis ttnct ideas ourselves of what we want and should have.

PEOPLE JUDGE BY APPEARANCE MORE
 THAN BY MORALS
"Your beauty berefts me of all words, Only my blood speaks to you in my veins"
 Merchant of Vaniee.

Whether in school, among your chums, in the social set, or even in the business world, 1t is always the ones who are pleasant in the sight of others that have the most friends and get the most attention. Haven't you noticed it? Maybe that very thing is holding you back.
 It is so easy for any boy or girl to make themselves attractive, even with out fine features. A clear skin never fails to draw admiring gazes and un- less you can command them, you have little chance of impressing anyone with that winning way you have.
 All you need to do is to clear your skin each night by rubbing thin film of the Cleansing Cream, which bears the well-known Black and White label, into the pores so it can work out all the accumulation and make them ac- tive so they can radiate the glow of the skin pigment, and thereby make your face your fortune.
 After your first experience with Black and White Cleansing Cream, you will never let single night go by without first using it. It is not "heavy" and does not overload the skin with oils, and leaves the skin smooth and lovely instead of greasy. Most all dealers have it in liberal sizes at 25c and 50c.

HOW TO GET THE sALESWoNIAN'S
 HELP

In my last article said I would tell you a few of my theories on how the American woman should go about emancipating herself from the edict of the Parisian with regard to dress. [ offer a few of them here for what they are worth; many may differ with me.
 I believe that the American sales woman in her heart feels just as badly in selling her customer some thing that she knows is unbecoming or unsuitable as the French ven- deuse. Why then does one see her every day offering short stout woman a dress that should only be worn by tall slim girl?
 In my opinion it isn't her fault but ours for three reasons.
 First, the saleswoman in America has discovered that the average buyer who admlres something she shouldn't doesn't want to be told that it Is not the right choice. She much prefers to go happily on her way believing she looks just as the lovely model who showed her the dress, or as the young slim girl she perhaps sees in the same model on the street.
 Second, the saleswoman has also discovered that the slogan every body's wearing this" is the best sel- Ter possible. In other words, the average woman prefers to buy some thing she feels is popular, unbecom- ing though 1t may be, thar something suitable to her looks, but perhaps not the popular choice. Since she has no desire to study her own individual ity, naturally the saleswoman Is not going to try to do 1t for her and in consequence perhaps not make a sale. We seem to have an unhappy predilection for looking just like everyone else. We seem to feel bet ter, more at ease when we know that we are wearing a color we have been told is smart this year, or the exact silhouette that is said to be correct.
 O O O
 Interest BeEets Interest.
 The third reason I feel that the buyer is responsible for conventions and not tho saIeswoman is that we are apt to interest or be interested in the people from whom we buy our dresses. hats, etc This, I think, Is a mistake for both sides, but par ticularly for ours. I happen to be very sensitive to personalities and consequently wherever l go l try to find someone who is sympathetic and make friend of her, someone who will then take an interest in me and who I feel Is my friend when I walk in the store. It may be a girl who sells me my hats or the girl who sells me my perfume. It is all the same and very important.
 Whoever it may be, talk to her; know her and let her know you and

MRS. DON DRENNEN
 RETURNS FROM MOBILE

Brs. Donald Drennen, who spent the last week in Mobile, has re- turned home. Betty Benville says the following of her:
 All have to say is, that If we are any buster socially this week than we were last, we will have to- go all night, cause the visit of Mrs. Don Drennen of Birmingham and the well coming parties to her-two a day, beginning at noon and keeping up until long after midnight; a Bankers dance, dances at the Country club and Battle house: luncheon parties at Dog river and Spring Hill; bridge parties galore and club meetings; weddings and ante-nuptial parties: good pictures at the playhouses and the week ending up with the ever popular play, The Bat" at the Bijou, and such good vaudeville bills at the Lyric that several theatre parties were given-have kept us so on the go, until some one asked, Is this the middle of a gay season or the be- ginning? Because judging from how l feel it ought to be the winding up.
 I guess Mrs. Drennen is glad to be at home to rest up today after. a week Of so many parties, but she can't relax just yet because when she reaches Birmingham she will have to go all over 1t again telling of how she was the same belle she was when she fitted around in so- ciety hero as Annie Moore Provost And her last day was just as busy as her first, for yesterday she and her hostess, Mrs. Alfred Staples, had lunch at the Battle house with Mrs Taylor Peck, who invited Mrs. Austill Pharr to complete the congenial quartet. and then in the afternoon she had a water party given to her on Dr. and Mrs. Marion Inges boat; Mrs. Inge inviting some friends to go out for a boat ride to enjoy the last of Mrs. Drennen's company with her. And no matter what else she may say, she will have to admit that Mobile gave her week of perfect weather, for never did the sun shine brighter or the wind blow softer just enough to fan the roses into cheeks so that the rouge box and cold cream for chaps were entirely un- necessary adjuncts to Milady's beauty.
