FIGHT AGAINST FAT IS NOW ON FULL SWING

The great day has arrived. The fat reducing contest is on. Miss Viv- ian Daniels. representative of the Wallace Institute of Chicago, reached Birmingham Monday and plunged im- mediately into the work of removing surplus padding from the frame work of those who have entered the reducing classes Of The Age-Herald and Loveman. Joseph &. Loeb's being held on the third floor of the department store.
 What happened during the first day is dark secret to all except those who were present. Men were barred and women who did not have sufficient nerve to enter the classes might as well be men for all the chance they have seeing their over stuffed sisters perform.
 When Miss Daniels came smiling from her classes at 3 o'clock Mon day afternoon she seemed we'll pleas ed with the showing made by Bir- mngham's obese. She was little disappointed, however, that some who had registered had lost their nerve and failed to show up at class time.
 Miss Daniels is a piquant looking miss who demonstrates the value of the Wallace system if she ever need ed it. And on this subject she has something tC say.
 Don't call me a 'bobbed haired coach as one paper did" she plead ed. I'm not a coach-1'm demon strator."
 Speaking of demonstrations brings out something else she is going to do as well as instruct candidates in 4. l4 IT,,1 lace method. At 3:30 o'clock Tues day afternoon she will give a public demonstration on the seventh floor of Loveman's.

r BENCH CA USE D' ESSEN D|SORDE ERS.
 GE RMANS ASSERT.
Claim Expulsion of Security Police Responsible for Riots - American Coal
 Shipped to Germany


 DCESSELDORF, March 5.-(By As sociated Press. )-The Germans hold the Ruhr allies indirectly responsible for the disorders in Essen early yes terday when several hundred patrons of a large cabaret were robbed ot their cash by 15 or 20 armed men. Armed mobs, said to be unemployed, caused disturbances in various parts of the city by footing food stores.
 The expulsion of the security police. the Germans say, has left the city practically without protection and the marauders took advantage of this situation. The municipal police force which is to replace the secur- ity police is not yet completely or ganized.
 Sunday mornings disorders brought home to the allies the fact that un- employment in parts of the Ruhr IS increasing, especially in view of the vacations given to the mine workers. Meanwhile. the production of coal, it is expected, will be reduced to 15 or 20 per cent of the pre-occupation output.

 Foot Slips.
 When he reached the tenth floor his foot slipped. Down he plunged From the crowd rose a groan that grew like the moaning of the wind.
 Falling close to the wall, he crashed onto the balcony. His body was deflected out into the street.
 Young, who was 25 years old and lived in this city, had engaged in stunts for several years. His card proclaimed him "America's unique and original steepleja jack" He had performed many times for the Red Cross and many times had scaled Broadway buildings. He leaves widow and a son 8 years old.
 The sign which Young bore on his back at first was taken to indicate that his climb was intended to ad- vertise the Safety Last Society,""
 In his pocket, however, was found a contract with a motion picture con- cern and from another source it was that a new picture soon to be made would feature a human fly stunt.
 The fact that large battery of movie cameras recorded Young's tragic adventure raised question as to the probable course of some producers who might desire to re- lease news films. At the office of the Motion Picture Producers and of America. it was stated that office could not attempt to censor the actions of any theatre manager, nor could there be any pro- hibition from showing the details of the affair. It was said that strong reliance was placed on the good taste of producers and managers. precluding any possibility of scenes of a morbid nature being shown any where.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY TROUBLE AND NEVER
 SUSPECT IT
Applicants for Insurance
 Often Rejected

Judging from reports from drug gists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very suc- cessful in overcoming these condi- tions. The mild and healing in fluence of pr. kilmer's Swamp Root is soon realized. It stands the high est for it's remarkable record of sue cess.
 An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Com panies. in an interview of the sub ject. made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many appli- cants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so commoo to the American people, and the large majority of those whose ap- plications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. pr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes. medium and large.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,. Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writ ing be sure and mention this paper Adv.

 THE AGE-sIERALD

ESessemer Ala, March q
 The twenty fourth annual report or the United States Cast Iron Pipe and Foundry company, ending December 21, 1922, has just been submitted by the president. L. R. LeMoine, and among other items of particular in- terest to this district he has the fol- lowing to say:
 As for the eompany's chief pro- duct, cast iron pipe, the year 1923 opens with heavy bookings. If the demand continues throughout the year, earnings should be affected fla vorably. provided labor. fuel and transportation conditions are not more unsettled. The works are now well supplied with orders but unable to operate fully on account of labor shortages"
 This official confirmed reports which have been attracting attention here for some time to the effect that pipe orders on hand would as sure many months continued opera tion of the Bessemer plant of this company. Regarding the improved DeLavaud process in making pipes of which the company owns the sole rights, the report says:
 'The first commercial unit, con- SlSAlHS ol luur machines TOT pFOQuC- ing the DeI.avaud pipe, was installed at the Birmingham, Ala, works Gn- cluding the Bessemer plan) last Au- gust. Since October thls unit has been operating so successfully that additional installation of five more -machines was ordered at the Janu- ary meeting of the board. The de- mand for DeLavaud pipes had largely exceeded these facilities in spite of the fact that no special effort was made to press it's sale. Owing to the demand for this pipe we expect to augment the companys facilities for it's production. At the moment 10machine unit has been ordered for our Burlington, N. J., works, while another such unit will be in stalled at or near Addyston, Ono, so that in due course the company will be producing this pipe at three centers."
 The company has attracted wide attention by its use of the DeLavaud process of centrifugal pipe making at Bessemer and Birmingham. Re- gently a moving picture was exhibit ed in tais district for the benefit of the employees and users of pipes showing this method in detail. The plants of this district were chosen to exploit this method and now that 1t has proved so successfully all other plants of this company are to install this process.
 The report also touches on the con- dition of the market for sugar housS machinery and chemical equipment stating: owing to the placing of the
