however, is not always applied, ow-
ing to the scatteredness Of the move
ment so that it will be more correct
to consider the local organization as
the basic organizational nucleus of
the o. B. U. The local organizations
are united by joint district councils
with presidium of IL, elected at dis
trict conferences to which every 100
members of the union send one dele
gate.
The secretary of the district council
is appointed by the presidium of
the o. B. U. by agreement with the
district council and is usually selected
from among the workers of the larg-
est industry of the district. In the
vertical direction, the section confer
ences elect a presidium of the section
consisting of nine members. The
work of the section presidium con-
sists largely of directing the econom-
ic struggle, negotiating collective
agreements and carrying on propa-
ganda and agitation in coordination
with the presidium of the o. B. u.
General congresses as well as sec
ton conferences, are held once in
three years. At these meetings one
delegate represents two thousand
good standing members The con-
gress elects the presidium of the o. B.
u, each section being entitled to pro-
portional representation in the presid.
ium.
Financial Arrangement.
The central place of the organiza-
tional schemes of the o. B. u, belong:
to the financial question. But mem
bership dues collected by the Local
organizations go directly to the cen
trail treasury of the o. B. u, where
the entire accountancy and ALLEGATION
of the funds is conferred. The pre-
sidium of the section, which has in
this central treasury its current &C
count, recording all the deposits and
expenditures of the section, receives
from the central treasury all the funds

promise that it was the last of wars

Peace advocates may know some
things, but financiers they pull the
strings. They own the papers, radio,
schools, the colleges are made their
tools. Boy Scouts are trained to think
their way, the editors are in their pay.
In fact, they own all in the town, that
radicals have not nailed down.

AVOID FACE POWDER
CAUSING BIG PORES
"Where both deliberate, the love is
slight;
Who ever loved that loved not at
first sight?"
Shakespeare.

Poor grades of face powder usually
cause the surface of the skin to be-
come rough, and make the pores form
gaping openings in the skin. In other
words, it becomes pitted. Why? Be-
cause they dry out the skin by absorb
ing the natural oils which it must have
to keep it soft and smooth. Real Face
Powder helps the skin retain its natural
oils, has antiseptic tendencies and above
everything else, just enough astringency
to prevent big pores.
The wonderfully fine texture Of the
face powder which bears the Black and
White trade mark proves to the many
new users each year the reason its sale
has grown so tremendously since it was
first perfected five years ago, the fact,
that girls use it year after year in
preference to higher priced face powder
proves further that it satisfies.
The 25c size is the most unusual
value to be had. The SOC size is per-
fumed with the alluring new odor, en-
cense of Flowers" which words can't
describe. Only the tremendous sales
volume of more than two million boxes
year of Black and White Face
Powder makes possible dollar texture
and quality at 25c and SOC.

Exchange Members Approve New

DIR. c. f. Hill Crathern, who has
recently returned from the Near East,
where he spent. several years as an ex-
ecutive in charge of relief work in that
section, addressed the members Of the
Exchange club Monday afternoon at
their weekly meeting at the Tutwiler. :
DR.. Crathern painted a vivid picture
Of the sufferings Of the people there
and of the massacfes which had taken
the lives Of SO many Armenians. He
declared the American relief work is
the only hope of thousands in that
section.
w. M Howe, regional director, sta
toned at Birmingham, paid high tribute
to two members of the Exchange club.
Allen G. Loehr and Oscar de Wolff
Randolph, declaring that their work had
resulted in raising, $50, 600 for the Near
East Relief in Birmingham and this
section.
]. Upon motion of A.. B. Tanner, the
members of the Exchange club adopted a
resolution favoring the erection of a
new court house at the new site recent
ly purchased at Capitol park and agreed
to lend their influence and vote in favor
Of the measure at the coming election.
1t was announced that the next ma
tional Exchange convention would be
held in Nashville in September. Capt.
North Duncan and James Kirkham,
members Of the club, will make the trip
in airplanes and agreed to transport
two other delegates to the meeting as
their guests.

ZONING DISCUSSION.
PROBABLE TUESDAY

Because of the many things the
city commission has been engaged with
during the past week the discussion of
membership in the coming board has
not been pronounced, but the matter
may come up at the meeting of the
commission Tuesday.
Those most prominently mentioned
in connection with the board, it is
said. are j. B. Drake, HI. K. Miner,
j. B. Dryer, John HI. Adams and II.
c. Hillhouse, though many other, names
have been mentioned.
The work of coming Birmingham will
require a sum, it has been announced
by city officials, in the .neighborhood
of $4,000. This will be used in en-
ploying experts and surveying the city.
1t is said to be possible that the
commission may appoint the board SO
preliminary work can b. done and
finance the completion later.
The zoning board, according to the
program, will supervise the survey, call
a mass meeting for discussion, compile
a report and submit it to the city
commission for action.
