BEST WAY TO END
 BAD COMPLEXION
Lasting Results Can Now Be Had by Using Fa- nous Black and
 White Creations

When girls and women realize they have become victims of bad complexion they seem to forget all reason and try most 1 anything. 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 complexions 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 con tact 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 a little Black and White Peroxide Cream before you put on your face powder. This will 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.

 Having failed to win a majority of the games they have played in their new stadium the Yankees have come to the conclusion that the big park ia their hoodoo and that a jinX roost. somewhere in It's steel rafters. Ball players, like actors, are likely to be superstitious and to seek in the realm of the fantastic for explana- tion of their failures Once super stition has fastened itself on player or club the task of overcoming 1t Is not a small one.
 One player, recently acquired by the Chicago Americans at any outlay of S100,00O, insists on placing his glove erect with fingers down off third base when he goes off the field. Hardly major leaguer dares to pass in front of an umpire as he steps to or from the plate. That Is regarded as worse than walking under a ladder. For player to have his uniform laundered while his club is enjoying a winning streak Is be- lieved among the diamonds students of the jinx and it's operations to in vite disaster.

New Jersey Governor Attacks Re- publican Administration Policies

TRENTON, N. J., July 4.--If the suggestions being made by President Harding on his Alaskan trip are worth while he should go immediate ly back to Washington, summon an extraordinary session of Congress and have them enacted into law, Governor Silzer declared in a state- ment issued today. But the Pres- dents trip is "a failure" Governor Slzer said, because the republican party and Mir. Harding have failed to carry out promises they made in the last campaign.
 If the President cnnot carry out his program, the governor continued the only remedy is to change the entire administration, put in some one who can accomplish these things.

Making a Well

Generally speaking there a was hardly a boy in the city } who had more abounding \ good health than little Frankie CaXton. < But he was terribly af- a flicted with enlarged ton sils and adenoids. He i suffered frequently from sore throat, and his speech was noticeably "queer." His parents knew he 5 ought to have an opera \ tion. But they had post R poned it from month to month and then from year to year because of the cost. Now they resolved to postpone it no longer. They would borrow the money; have it done at once, and then pay their loan as they could.
 There was just one place where they could borrow on terms that fitted circumstances. That was from Trustees System. There good character and a steady job are security for q
 friendly loan, and there was found the service that made DOS
 sible Frankie Craxton's opera
 tion.

 Celebration
FAIRFIELD BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD Eairfinld Ala InIr

Fairfield folks stayed at home July Fourth, and were parties to the largest affair ever arranged in Fair Held to entertain residents of this city The Fourth of July picnic in the park was a success in every par ttcular and will be remembered as one of the most enjoyable ever staged in this section of the Birming- ham district.
 The celebration was made more at tractive by the presence of Jdge Will liam E. Fort and others who spoke in the afternoon, The celebration was the outcome of suggestion of Mayor Melford Pratt that the citizens be lavishly entertained to persuade them to stay at home. His sugges- ton was fully indorsed by the Ex- change club and later by the Kiwanis club. These two organizations and other civic associations cooperating with the city council. provided the work and the citizens and merchants provided the funds. The city was gaily decorated Wednesday morning and when the festivities started was In a festive mood. The flag raising celebration at the flag pole on Gary avenue at Forty first street was beautiful ceremony in which Boy and Girl Scouts were the chief actors. From that time until 630 the pro- gram continued with new events every 30 minutes. The attractions included a variety of games and con tests in which teams from churches, lodges. school classes and other or ganizations participated. Samuel c. King was in charge of the awarding of prizes. The committee in charge of the celebration which was the only formal one in the Birmingham district, announced Wednesday night that from indications the affair had been greatly enjoyed, the citizens had been given the opportunity of becom- ing better acquainted and that the day had passed without any un- toward incident.

LIQUOR IN ENGLAND

The passage by the House of Com
mons and the House of Lords in Eng
land of Lady Astor's bill prohibiting
| the sale of liquor to those under the
age of IS years naturally brings up
thought of our own liquor law-not
the thought of the Eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution but rather
of the volstead act and the deeds done
in its name and by its assumed au-
thority. The passage of this bill in
England moreover, suggests some
slight trouble that Englishmen may
have with their consciences. If the
law of the land, in England, prohibits
the sale of intoxicating liquor to those
under Is years Of age. it is to be pre-
sumed the makers of the law do not
believe people under Is years should
drink Intoxicating liquor-a perfectly
proper stand. But how will the con-
scientious father feel when, at dinner,
his II 80 year old son sips bit of
the stuff? Should he not forbid him
to thus go against the spirit of the law
of the land?
But the form of this bill shows the
moderation with which the question
is dealt, as we In this country deal
with the tobacco question. There are
laws in many states against selling
tobacco to minors. No violent pro-
tests are heard. Tobacco merchants
obey this law, recognizing its proprie-
ty. No doubt the new law regarding
the sale of lifuor to persons under IL
'years of age--if it becomes law after
approval Of the king-wilI be obeyed
in England in similar way Few will
fail to approve the English move,
tending as it will, to preserve the
mental and physical strength of the
youth of England until such strength
is matured and capable of assuming
the rights and privileges of maturity,
with its attendant liberty and freedom
of action.

JOHNSON, THE AMERICAN

A few words will indicate what is
to be expected from Senator johnson
Hiram, just returned from visit
in Europe and just emerged from his
state of unaccustomed silence. He is
an American and he intends to hold
the flag of the United States aloft-
but only in this country. He will have
none of its strength go to making the
world better of safer or wiser. Anyone
who wants to share with others any
of the strength of that flag or its
spirit Is no friend of his. The flags
power is not great enough to do its
work here at home and at the same
time do anything for any other ma
ton or nations.
Many of us know people just like
that. They may be New Workers, who
are Just New Workers and nothing else
New York where there are easy
pickins" at Forty-Second street and
Broadway They may, even, be New
Englanders who believe that the sun
rises and sets according to the STAN
dards of New England.
Years ago this group of provincial
people was much larger than it is
today. The steam cars, the telegraph
and telephone and the radio, to say
nothing of the automobile, have
changed many of them, but many still
live in the days of the long ago. Pro-
gress means nothing to them unless
il be the extension of Main street. No
greater vision comes to such people
with the broader knowledge and edu-
cation that is coming to the world,
Though their talk may sound big, ="
they are small of heart and under
standing; learned though they be in
way of politics, ignorant are they of
the fact that in stagnation lies death
We. too, are Americans, but humbly
we hope that out of the fullness Of
our strength and increasing breadth
of understanding, we have something
10 give the world.

location of this memorial is deter

city. in addition to their own skill.
have a knowledge Of conditions and
sentiment in the city. Above all this
memorial should be work of art
and it should be a memorial that will
be approved by the people Of the city
who appreciate art in all its fine
points, and art that pleases those
who are not expert enough to tell why
a memorial is beautiful and properly
located. Outside advice and help is
welcome, but New Britain experts
should be consulted. Quite probably
the people of the city will be proud

inclined. as well. will have no just
tause to criticize tas work.
