SAYS BIRM|NCHAM' REAL Y BACKBONE.
J. E. Duskin Declares Ala bama Realtors Look To
 Magic City

Birmingham is the backbone of the Alabama Real Estate association, ac- cording to J. E. Duskin, Jr., who is president of both the Alabama and the Montgomery association. "We all look to Birmingham as the larg- est town in the state for new ideas as to business" he declared Saturday.
 MT. Duskin is at present engaged in consultations relative to establish ing multiple listing system in Montgomery. In a short time, hc said, the whole state would be per suaded to use multiple listing. MT. Duskin said that J. D. Drake had been persuaded to come to Mont gomery for a while to show them how it was done.
 Real estate boards all over the state are awakening 10 the oppor- tunity which awaits them this year. The reports reveal an encouraging condition. There >are eight active boards in Alabama, the principle ones being In Birmingham, Mobile, Mont gomery, Florence, Gadsden and An niston, said Mr. Duskin.

Home Is Part OF Mans Duty
 To Community, Butler Says
Profit To Owner Is Small Part Of Advantages, Real tor Asserts

A man who does not own home is negl1cting one of the most impor- tant phases of duty towards citizen ship in both his country and the community in which he resides, said F. E. Butler of Butler-Garrett Real Estate and Insurance company.
 Besides the mere profit which a home wisely bought in one of the right parts of town is sure to make 1t is the best means of preserving the family unity and rearing the children in a way to make better men and women of hem.
 C0mbats Divorce.
 Probably it is the most effective means of combating the divorce evil, for when two people have so much in common, it will be harder to sep arate ties and the community will be spared the resulting hardship of hav- ing the children reared without the supervision of two parents.
 "In the added comfort which the possession of g home brings to the family, there will be formed <1ubri- cant which will oftentimes smooth over troubles as nothing else can do.
 Even in the owner himself there is the psychological effect of owning a home. It creates in him a pride Tn himself and in Birmingham; 1t will make a booster out of a knocker.
 "A city of home owning peoples IS always q more stable and prosperous place than any other. Where man buys, where q man makes his home. there is much less likelihood of in- dustrial troubles, and he is sounder citizen.
 Will Build City.
 Birmingham cannot hope to com pete with other large cities until we make it place where man cares to make it his home. We have H. braries, choral clubs, municiple mu- sic, schools, colleges, theatres and art gatherings, and there should be no reason why the people of Birming ham who know these things should not buy now and encourage buying in the newcomers. Imitation is natural thing; a man buys homes where other men have bought.
 "Homes bought enhance the value of property; there are many men to- day who are buying who wish they had bought years ago and realized the profit which follows. Many have bought homes in the past few years who, when they first came here, laughed at the idea.
 Home ownership is the pest means of creating the sense of citl- zenship, of bringing comfort to the family. of rearing the children, ol gaining the proper pride in oneseli and of showing interest in the com munity in which one lives.

HOME SHOR1ACE. |S POINTED OUT Smith Says Preference Now
 Is For Suburban
 Property ''

Building Of homes in Birmingham in spite of all efforts to supply the demand, is still insufficient said Charles l.. Smith of the Realty Sales company.
 There is every indication that the eie n1and of the next 1e months will even exceed that of the past half year of 1923 and this will create a shortage, added Mir. Smith.
 There is a strong tendency to- ward the suburban property, is the belief of MT. Smith. and soon the arteries of Birmingham. will be sire tciIed even further outwards as we'll as building up within.
 The problem of today with the realtors. MT. Smith has found, is not in getting clients. IS in the past, but in finding suitable homes for them. Prom all indica tions he thinks that this year will surpass anything yet done in real estate
 Desirable property is going fast. he says. and those who expect to buy should do so before the rush. which will come in the spring. Soon 1t may be difficult to find desirable homes and home sites, and we'll situated rental property at q reasonable price has long been q. thing of the past.
 With all this in view MT. Smith tr nlSs he is being conservative in de- cI9ring that this year will prove +hc biggest year not only in BirminG- r- n but 7T1 over the country.

in the center of tho ballroom were grouped fifteen or twenty men, who in answering to the roll call by the secretary. gave the names of the older men they were supposed to represent. It was here that the eX- cellence of the work of preparation for the occasion manifested itself in fine style.
 Among the successful impersona- tions, which won marked applause, were the following: Ray Schultz as President Yancey, NJ. c. Jeter as 8. l.. Starke, J. M. P. Otis as M. P. Messer, and W. V. M Robertson, Jr,. as Rob- ert Jemison. Jr. The character sketches were particularly amusing and done in such spirit and wit that laughter filled the ball room.
 Make Sales Success.
 "Howard Parish and F. NJ. Elliott made a brilliant success in demon- strating the successful selling ability of Mir, A. A. Gambill. Now came in delightful innovation injected at this point by trio of singers, consisting of Clyde Nelson, Howard Parish and F. I. Smith. Encore fol- lowed encore expressive of the keen appreciation of their hearers.
 Several jokes were played. one of which brought in full review the true histrionic talent of MT. l. H. Howell.
 Ut was left to Ray Schultz to close the fun of the evening with vigorous hammering with his huge gavel as he declared, despite all protests, that it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon and the meeting was adjourned.
 This brought to close by far the most successful and enjoyable of the annual banquets of the Birmingham Real Estate Board, measured in terms of attendance smoothness of program and general entertainment of all present.

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe improved by
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
ly You dampen sponge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
