Soapstone Electric Irons

All electric irons are old-fashioned and current consumers unless soap stone heating elements are used.
 Old-fashioned electric irons are composed of many parts and spend most of the time in the repair shop.
 Soapstone electric irons have fewer parts than you can imagine, one piece heating element, base and a cap and handle. Absolutely nothing to get out of fix. Repairs are elim- mated.
 d-fashiCned electric irons sell for s1.9S, $525 and s750 from the cheapest to the highest, the con struction is the same. The extra electric current consumed and re- pairs necessary will pay for several soapstone electric irons.
 Even if your old-fashioned electric iron Is new, it will pay you to dis card It and buy a soapstone electric iron.

 MOBILE, Ala, Nov. 5.-(Special Leased Wire )-Acting under a new Mobile county juvenile court com mission law, Judge Frank Coffin of the court announced the appointment of new officers of the court, includ- ing a clerk, which position was cre- ated by the new bill. The clerk is Richard H. Coffin, formerly connect ed with the naval radio station as Mobile; Mrs. E. L. St. Clair, chief pro- bation officer; w. II. McCauley, war rant officer, and Sadie B. Jenkins, colored probation officer. Under the terms of the new bill the county and city commissions will immediately appoint three persons to serve on the new juvenile court commission. These six members will then elect the seventh member and chairman. Mem bers of the Mobile County League of Women Voters declare the new law is unconstitutional on the ground that it was changed and al- tered from the original bill. Among the changes in the measure as passed is that of giving a right of appeal with a trial by jury in the circuit court. Under the old bill, the old right of appeal was allowed but was heard before only one of the judges of the circuit court.
