The impression you make on other people depends more on your complexion than clothes, poise, manner, education and many other things. Most faults are easily over come by a sweet, rosy and clear skir.
 After trying many beauty spe- cisiists and skin treatments to get rid of that rough, muddy" appear anee of her face, without getting any benefit, lady well known here said: T wish l had known about thiss Black and White Cleansing Cream before I started experiment. ing with the expensive treatments of specialists as they call them selves. Why! It surprised me be- yond words the way 1t cleared away that greasy, sticky feeling and dingy look.
 YttAnd have since found that by using the Peroxide Cream first in the morning before l put on my Incense of Flowers Face Powder it keeps my face looking right most all day. I wouldn't use anything else now"
 Your enthusiasm about these widely used beauty creations which bear the well-known Black and White label will be just as great after you once become charmed by their fine texture, excellence, dain- ty perfume and popular low prices. All dealers have them in liberal packages.

ROYAL MLDGETS
 SEE AGE-HERALD
Smallest People Visit Tallest Newspaper Building In The
 Whole South

Twenty-Five wonderful little men and women-vest pocket editions of human ity-came to Birmingham Monday and at once became the center of attraction on downtown streets.
 They are members of Ike Roses troup of Royal Midgets, and they head line this weeks bill at Loew's Bijou.
 None of the midgets is any bigger than a minute and it was easy enough to tuck them into the two automobiles which carried them on a tour of the south's Magic City. It was a triumhp- ant tour which included a formal call on D. B. MeLendon, city commission president, and which reached its eli max with a visit to The Age Herald building.
 Before reaching the city these 9 tiny folks had written The Age Herald that they wanted to go to the top of the worlds tallest newspaper building. Viewed City
 They went, and from the roof they got a splendid view of the city and miles and miles of surrounding ter ritory. J. 0. Stuardi, manager of circulation, escorted them through the entire plant, and when the powerful new presses in the basement were reached some of them wanted to say until the next edi- tion was printed.
 The whole trOup came to the United States a few weeks ago from Europe, where they had played at theatres in London, Paris, Berlin and other cities. Almost every nationality is included in the group. but all of them speak Eng fish fluently.
 Rose now has the little bunch on a countrywide tour, and Atlanta and Bir- mingham were the fisst southern cities visited. They played week in Wash ington and were greeted personally by President Coolidge.
 From atop The Age Herald building. somebody asked the midgets how they liked AmeriGa.
 "Ice Cream Divine"
 Your buildings are too tall and your traffic is too heavy" said Harry Arno, the Junlian Eltinge of the midget world. but your women are beautiful and ice cream sodas are divine"

GOOD MORNING
 DEARIE' PLEASES

Sensational dancing, a beautiful lead ing lady, catchy music, a clever far ceur who plays three roles, and plot that is unusually interesting
 That tells the story of Good Morn ing, Dearie," comedy with music which began three-day stay at the lief ferson theatre Monday night. The whole piece is full of pep and provides two hours of real fun.
 Tho book and lyrics are by Annie Caldwell, and she has woven her plot around the love of rich young aristo- crat for a shop girl. An enterprising seeond-story man is his rival and the action develops a number of tense sit nations.
 Pretty Miss Polly Walker, cast as the, shop, girl, is a wNole show by her self, She sings and dances acceptably and is far above the average as an actress.
 Edward Aliens novelty dances pleased immensely as did those of his little partner, Miss Helen Ward. There were many. other splendid dancers, and some of them introduced the latest things in "toddles" to Birmingham. The cos tunes throughout were gorgeous.
 Then, there is young MT. Lou Pow CTS, the farceur. He starts out as q plain detective. Pretty soon he steps out as a Chink waiter in chop suey place. ands the close of the piece finds him drawing round after round of laughter as an elderly footman for n group of social butterflies. His work Throughout is of high order.
 ssGood Morning, Dearie" does not start off with any too much dash-but ie winds up with a real bang. In fact, itc8eta better in every scene-and there are ase in all.
 Yon'M never get a chance to get sleepy during Good Morning, Dearie." Its good show, well worth seeing.- Fl. T. B.

requires an hour and critics assert that they have something to offer that is both different" and versatile.
 The oldest of the midgets is 42, the youngest 19. They range in height from 27 to fl inches. They're happy, care-free and they declare they're hav- ing a great time seeing America.
 "The only trouble have with them," said Ike Rose, ''is at meal time. When they get hungry they get tired of play ing"
 But from the appearance of the troup none of them has suffered in this re- spect. They're as healthy looking a crew of half-pinters as one would want to see. During their stay at the Bijou they are sure to play daily to capacity houses. The great crowds that gathered about them everywhere they went Mon- day prove this.
 The Interstate Casualty company, of which D. B. Lightner is secretary treasurer, helped entertain the little visitors while they were in the building.

PLAN EULOGY OF LATE PRESIDENT
Ensley To Hold Appropriate Memorial Service In Honor
 Of Woodrow Wilson
CENSLEY BUREAU@

ENSLEY. Ala, Feb. 4.-A memo rial service in honor of the late Wood row Wilson will be held by the Xii wanis club of Ensley Thursday.
 Ensley musicians will contribute fa- vorite songs of the war President, while a eulogy will be delivered on the different phases of his life by a member of the Ensley club and prom inent citizen from Birmingham. The death of the former President occa- stoned widespread regret in Ensley, and the statement was made that the memorial service by the Kiwanis club was thought most appropriate step.
 The Kiwanis club members, in order to give the memorial just as wide an effect as possible, will each invite a guest. The program committee of the club has tentatively sketched the memo rial service which will prove simple but in keeping with the well known modesty of the late President.
 While no official action has been taken, it was reported Monday that a movement was projected to close all business houses in Ensley during the funeral of Mir. Wilson and to have all church bells tolled. It. is expected that such step will be discussed by the Ensley merchants and business mem Tuesday,

For any one who sees it, Thomas H. Ince's production of Eugene O,Neilrs s powerful stage drama, Anna Christie y cannot fail to hold powerful appeal. This First National picture is now be- ing presented at the Trianon theatre.

 AT THE LYRIC
 All five acts playing at the Lyric this week are of class which will appeal to lovers of good vaudeville. None of them is extraordinary in the strict sense of the word, yet they each have an appeal peculiar to their individual lines.
 Bowman Brothers, listed as The Blue grass Boys, deserve more than ordinary mention. Their blackface offering, con- trary to the general rule, is really funny wholesome fun. They were good enough to answer a couple of encorcs after insistent demands.
 The other acts include Larimer and Hudson in a novelty cycling act some what out of the ordinary; Wilfred Der rick and Lily Dean Hart in "Elopins. '' a good comedy skit; Percy Oakes and Pamela Delure in Pep and Action. living fully up to its name, and Zelda Santley in Little Miss Everybody typical also, of her name.

One of the outstanding figures in world affairs during the late war, and the greatest pianist of all times, Ignace Jan Paderewski, is the object of this sale One of the largest houses in the history of the state is being forecast; the acoustics of the Ma sonic auditorium and the large seating capacity making it possible for the management of the All-Star Con- certs to bring this highest paid of the concert artists to Birmingham.
 The management is requesting those who attend this event to be not later than S;15 o'clock in their seats as late corners not only disturb those who are on time but it is difficult for the artist to begin the program.
 Ordered but unpaid for seats will not be held later than Thursday at noon.

 "I'll do nothing of the sort" shriIled Peter ST. "What do you mean?"
 "I need to work. I've tried other things, but my thoughts always como back to the Hands,"
 "I suppose what you are really limiting at is bigger allowance under a different name," sneered old Peter.
 "No, it isn't that" Peter said simply. Il don't ask for more, or want It. But l do want to feel that on the money handle there's no sweat wrung cut of mems bodies or tears from women's eyes"
 Peter ST. swung violently around in his revolving chair to glare at the young man.
 Well I'm damned!' he ejaculated.
 Peter sincerely hoped not, but felt that silence Was safer than putting his hopes into words.
 q never thought" Peter ST. reflected aloud, abruptly changing his tone, "to hear a son of mlne spout this sort of cheap fol derol, and l never thought that any one of my blood would be weak enough to come crawling and begging to break solemn promise"
 Ut means strength, not weakness, to break some promses-the kind that never himself. ''Td break it without crawling or begging if 1 thought you'd prefer, except that it would be no use. Unless had your permission, I couldn't get taken into the Hands"
 "Wel, you don't get it. see?" retorted the head of the Hands. {
 "Then, father, if that's your last word on the subject" said Petro, rising, 'this means for you and me, where business is concerned, the parting of the ways"
 You're blank idiot!' snarled the old man. q was brought up to believe there was no excuse for breaking promise
 There was Petro's chance to score,, and right or wrong-he took it.
 "Then things have changed since the days when you were being brought up,' he said. Because, you know you promised Ena you would give up going to the store except for important business meetings once or twice a year. And you haven't given it up. You go there nearly every night.
 Peter ST. physically quailed. His great secret was found out! No use to buster Then he gathered himself together and feebly bluffed.
 What do I care whether you know or not? There's no disgrace in looking after my own business, guess! To please Ena, I've made a sort of secret of it, that's all. Who told you? That's what I want to get at. Who stuffed you up to the neck with all that damned nonsense about sweat and tears?' l bet it's the same man who tried to blackmal me with my own son about my going to the Hands nights"
 "It wasn't man who told me" said Peter, it was a woman-or, rather, girl. It was me she was blaming, not you. She thought l was responsible for the wrongs she and other employees suffer from. She didn't know it was secret, your visiting the place She simply mentioned it as a fact"
