 SCHOOL PROBLEM
State Secretary Calhoun Tt . Visit North Of State 7
 >, Councils

Discussion of the school problems of Birmingham, and the pending legis lation on, immigration featured the meeting of Birmingham council, No. 21, Junior Order United American Me chanics, held last Monday evening, There was a good attendance and much business, was transacted. E,
 The school problem in Birmingham was taken up and viewed in all its phases and severals points cleared up in the minds of the members. The Junior Order, with a record for ardent and intelligent study and support of the American public schools for three quarters of a century, always feels a very close interest ill everything per taining to the public schools and their betterment. e#. The Junior Order is also interested in the immigration question and speaking of this matter, State Scre-- tary E. R. Calhoun said: Many bills pertaining to immigration have been introduced in the present Congress and there is no doubt that some of them have been. presented for the sole pur- pose of defeating any further restric- tion rather than to serve the country s best welfare. All these bills in the lower house of Congress-, of course, were re- ferred to the immigration committee.
 'The committee has reported the Johnson bill, which is the comprehen- sive scientific measure demanded by the situation, but effort will be made to substititute for it other measures, or to amend it by inserting clauses which will take from it its teeth. This will be the opportunity of the politi- clan and it is certain he will avail him. self of it--he can straddle the ques- tion by voting for measures that will offer no real relief. Members of the Junior Order and all friends of just and real restrictive law should by all means write their congressman and senators to vote for the Johnson bill. The bill is known as H. R. 654O." t
 State Secretary E. R. Calhoun will leave Monday to make some visitations to councils in northern part of the states as the representatives of State Councillor T. M. Fullington of Gadsden

LONGER LIFE, LESS REPAIRS
 The factories are putting better ma terials into the cars. The parts are be- ing manufactured more accurately and greater care is being used in inspec- tion and assembly.

New York, Aug. 21.-All the pro-
fessional dancing girls on Broadway
are not on the stage.
Hostesses in public dance halls
make more money than girls of the
.chorus and dancing damsels with
minor parts in musical shows.
Lonesome men from out of town
are the most persistent patrons OF
these dance halls with dimmed lights,
two orchestras and soda fountain
They pay 35 cents to dance three
times with a hostess. The house
retains a dime and gives the rest
to it's regularly employed hostesses.
One girl, attractive and an excep-
tionally supple ballroom dancer, is
dressmaker by day. At night she is
dancing escort of many men. She
is the sole support of her mother
and father, who is paralytic. Her
income averages 500 week.
Many of the waxed-floor perform
ers, stenographers, telephone opera
tors and department store clerks by
day, drive to the dance halls in their
own automobiles. They have one
night off week.
There are male instructors, too
They are tall young men, with
creased hair, nimble feet, and clothes
cut so extremely they are amusing.
Dancing with unescorted ladies is
their nightly duty. One woman, age
estimated between SIS and 60, comes
twice each week. She buys 20 dance
tickets, requests the same instruct
or for the entire evening. Each
night she tips him $40.
A man and his wife, we'll along in
years, are regular patrons. The wife

A hair specialist to whom Mrs.
Jones of Anytown went once in a

treatment for the hair, and one east

Each day ventilate and thoroughly

A tonic may be easily made at

although Mr.. Hamilton was gaining
