 THE AGE-HERALD MOptpOmery Ala May 10

Montgomery was host to num- Der of conventions the past week but from social standpoint, the Ala bama Bankers Association con- vention eclipsed them all, for the local bankers begun early in the month to plan for the entertainment of the state bankers and their wives. with the idea of making this the best of all conventions. and thus it proved to be, for several large affairs and many small ones were given for the visitors
 The first real social event of im- portance took place Thursday eve hing when the officers of the Ala bama Bank and Trust company, en- tertained the visiting bankers and their wives at brilliant reception and dance at the Montgomery Coun- try club. At midn ght q plate lunch con was served. This event was of special interest to the new Mont Gomerians who were fortunate to be invited, for the club has recently been remodeled, and is now one of the most attractive places in the city. New hardwood floors have re- gently been laid in the spacious re- ception room and new wicker furnl- ture added. At intervals are to be found lovely floor lamps with pretty shades. and pretty draperies at the windows made attractive settings for the many guests who were seen at the club during the bankers con- vention. Receiving the guests Thurs day evening, were the officers of the Alabama Bank and Trust company and their wives, and a number of Montgomery matrons and maids as sisted in receiving and entertaining, the guests who numbered two hun dred and fifty. Dancing was enjoy ed until a late hour.

 BEAUTY AND HEALTH
By DR. LILLIAN WHITNEY

HELEN B.: Weight reduction to one whose natural inclination is to- ward excess flesh requires more mental discipline than most persons possess. While you envy those who are slender, I doubt whether you would be willing to put yourself on strict regimen. Have you ever tried dry shampoo for excessive oiliness of the scalp? II consists of equal parts of cornmeal and orris root, sifted through the hair close to the scalp; remove after q half hour with clean brushes.
 GoUTY Gout and rheumatism are not by any means the same thing. and, furthermore, your condition Is not rheumatic, but an entirely diff fercnt disease known as arthritis deformans. You may eat almost any foods that you can digest and as- smilate, but I would exclude sugar and acid drinks. Electrical treat ment and thermal baths do more good than drugs.
 ANNA: There is no reason why you should not have the extract made up for your personal use. You can get the rich scent of cloVe in this combinations: Essence of rose 6 ounces; essence of cassia, I ounces; essence of orange flowers. 1 ounces; tincturo of vanilla, ? ounces, oil of clove (Bourbon), 10 drops.
 EVELYN K: I think you live in the section of the country supplied with hard water. This is very bad for the skin. Why not cleanse your face and neck with either cleansing creams or lotions? Camphor water is a very nice cleansing lotion and re- fines the pores of the skin at the same time.
 MAE F.: Camphorated chalk is harmless and refreshing dentifrice. IL should be kept in well-stoppered container. Here is a formula: Pre- cipitated chalk, 9 ounces; orris pow der ounces; camphor. l ounce. Triturate the camphor to powder with T small quantity of alcohol; gradually incorporate the chalk and pass through a sieve. This makes an excellent preparation.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING BOOSTED
MRS. MARY HARRIS
ARMOR HEARD HERE
FAMOUS WOMAN PROHIBI-
ZIONIST MADE FORCEFUL
ADDRESS SUNDAY NIGHT.

Dawson's welcome to Mrs. Mary
Harris Armor on Sunday night was
very gratifying to the friends of this
fearless advocate of law enforcement,
and by all odds her address was one
of the most impressive and significant
ever heard here, compelling the deep
est heart interest and holding the
closest attention of the large audience
for considerably more than an hour,
yet no one showed the least sign of
being tired Mrs. Armor was intro
duced in fitting words by Rev. T. M.
Christian.
Incidents of the speakers recent
trip to New Zealand were graphically
portrayed, her unusually fine descrip-
tive powers adding greatly to the in
tereSt of the story which led up to
the prohibition fight in that far-away
island, where Mrs. Armor did valiant
service. The speech Sunday night was
terrible arraignment of the liquor
interests in their disregard of law and
order and with no uncertain sound
Sne met the CHdIltIlSe OF tnOSe VINO
are seeking to have the Volstead act
repealed. With imprisoned eloquence
Mrs. Armor declared that prohibition
is here and here to stay.
The big thrill came in the prepara-
ton of the masterful address. The
years have added charm to the per-
sonality of this woman of such rare
oratorical gifts, and she is more than
ever before convincing in her argu-
ments. She had visited Dawson on
several occasions but all who heard
her agree that her last speech was by
far the most forecful message that
ever fell from her lips in Dawson.
While in the city Mrs. Armor was
the guest of Col and Mrs. M. J. Yeo-
mans. SheS left on the early train
Monday morning for Colquitt.

REMARKABLE PICTURE
WILL BE SHOWN HERE
MAN Without Country" Appeals to
All Glasses. Auspices of Legion.

An all-star cast will be seen in the
American Legion's film classic, The
Man Without a Country" when it
opens Thursday afternoon, April II,
at the Palace theatre. This remarkable
photoplay will be presented under the
auspices of the Davis-Daniel post OF
the American Legion.
"The Man Without Country" is an
eight-ree1 picture and combines with
the immortal story of this name the
romantic incidents in the nations his
tory from the post revolutionary days
to the beginning of the world war. 1t
is not war picture but rather great
love story of adventure and romance
made piquant with dashes of mystery.
The picture is said to be too big,
too great to attempt a complete de-
soription of it. Every dramatic critic
who has seen it has been lavish in its
praise. One of the New York review
ers said: "No word thus far spoken,
no picture thus far shown contains
so much inspiration for Americans"
The picture is being exhibited
the country under spon-
sorship of the American Legion. Ev-
cry American is called upon to see it,
