DAIRYMEN AGREE ON REGULATIONS
Amendments To Milk .0rdi- nance Now Have Clear
 Field For Passage

Conferences held Saturday by Dr. J. D. Bowling, health officer, with leading dairyn.en of Birmingham, re- suited In removal of all objections to the proposed amendments to the city's famous milk ordinance, thus clearing the way for final action by the city commission Tuesday.
 The amendments provide for tho classification of milk and grades and for a standard for each; for regular physical examinations for milk cows and for persons milking and handling them. These revislons will provide still further health safeguards, Dr. Dowtng says.
 "Dairymen, months ago, initiated the movement for these amendments" said Dr. Bowling, "and at least 90 per cent of them have co-operated fully with the health department. The leaders have been working on the minority faction, and at conferences Saturday we eliminated all objections without changing the phraseoiogy of the amended ordinance"
 The health official praised Ine at titude of the dairyn.en and declared they were anxious to comply in every way with the regulations.
 The commission Tuesday a,so will take final action on the pure food'' ordinance sponsored by the health de- partment. It was tentatively ap- proved last week. but laid over in order to give City Attorney w. J.. Wynn chance to pass on the le- gality of certain changes. With only minor changes, he has approved the measure, and the accepted view at city hall is that the commission will pass 1t Tuesday without dissenting vote.

 after making a few calculations, told him enough about his inner and outer life to both astound and humiliate him. His every thought trait. tendency, acquired or in- herited, was announced. a clear pie ture of his personality and mind painted, and finally suggestions as to his best field of work.
 The doctor allovei close inspec- ton of his devices and methods, ex- through accurate measurement of known characteristics in person, had at last arrived at what he termed unerring calculation.
 A sphygmometer, much like the mercurial column sphygmometer of the physicians blood pressure test, only forty-six times as sensitive, seems the center of his apparatus. Attached to it are lenses, a split-sec- ond chronometer and a stethescope forty-six times as acute as the or dinary physicians.
 The doctor, with a little hammer. tests the reflextion of his client by striking him just below the knee, he IeSCS HIS HUE uS lO dllOW COIISCllOHS for temporary physical conditions. he glimpses into the emotional complex ity of the client by a flash-light, as it were, and finally puts him through the big test.
 The sphygmometer is attached to the usual left arm, the stethescope is placed over the left arm artery and the client Is told to relax, write a sentence and at the same time to keep account of a certain periodic sound. The rest Is mathematics.
 Just as soon as the doctor can con- vince Birmingham that a clinic for industrial workers, juvenile courts and disabled veterans maintained by a board and by contributions derived from persons able to pay for an analysis of themselves, he will go back to Houston where his own clinic Is daily putting more individuals on the right track.

 The speaker was pr. Julian Pen nington, Houston, Tex, physcholo- gist, one of the small army of pio- neers who have put the science of mind and personality on a practical basis and are telling the world that it is no longer necessary to grope tbout for ones proper medium of expression.

The fact that no additional offers would be made has been published from time to time in the past.
 In not one single instance, from tho opening gun in this campaign, have we altered our announced plan, and nothing has been done which might, in any way, affect the best interest of the club members. The management of this club realizes that the men and women entered in the race as club members are giv- ing their time and energy to the club, which means dollars and cents proposition to them. On a strictly business basis--and on no otber-will the awards be decided. The reputation or wealth of the club member will have nothing whatso- ever to do with the judging of the winners. Every club member will receive the same courteous treat ment, of this fact you may rest as- sufed.
 After the campaign closes next Saturday night. tabulators will as- semble the standing in votes and the club manager will direct a letter to each and every member of the club, advising he or she exactly how many votes they secured during the club.
