SILVER CAN BE
MADE FOR LESS
THAN CREENBACK

Boston, Mass, Nov. 21.-Use of the
silver dollar in place Of bills will save
the government $1,000,000 a year, as
:stant secretary of the treasury
Charles s. Dewey said yesterday in
an address at the second annual CON
ference of New England banks that
are members of the federal reserve
bank.
To the 54,O00,O00 cart-wheels now in
circulation, the treasury department
desires TO add 5000, 900 in this coun-
try and $4,000, 900 in the insular pos
sessions. He added, since it costs only
one cent to mint silver dollar and 1T
cents to make a 81 bill, Mr.. Dewey ex-
explained that a tremendous saving
could be effected If the plan was ac-
cepted by the public.

This ig the season when dinner and
evening gowns flourish at their best,
and the oldest fashion reporter can
recall no time In the past when fab
rics were so gorgeous and Iovely-and
so simply handled. Everything In the
materials used has sheen or SHIN
mer or the glitter of metallic threads
or jeweI-like spangIes or headings.
Rich metallic and silk brocades, metal
lie lnces and tissues and sheer. silky
materials are united in the gowns that
make this memorable winter In the
history OF fashions.
All the heavier fabrics. the brocades
gold and silver tissues. veivets and
metallic laces are adapted TO the
straightllne gowns ihat hold strong
position In the mode. They are occa-
sionally used alone and simply draped,
More often they are made up with
sheer materials, as georgette or chlf-
fon, as shown in the picture given
here. In the gown front and back
panel OF silk and metal brocnde are
posed over georgette, arranged In
plaits ut each side. Ornamentatlons
OF metallic beads on the shoulders and

CIGARETTE SMOKING
CAUSES DECLINE
OF YOUNG GIRLS

New York, Nov. 19--Dr. Eugene
Liman Fisck, director Of the Life Ex-
tension Insurance, told members of
the American education conference
Wednesday night that the modern
young woman's serene self confidence
in her ability to defy convention and
tradition as to the ethics of living may
be somewhat shaken by the knowl-
edge that she is giving way under the
strain and that she is not as good an
animal as her brother"
The price exacted Of the flapper by
what she considers her freedom, DIR.
Fisk said, is lessening of her years
an inability to get all that should
be obtained from life physically and
spiritually and a general depreciation
of health.
The growth Of the cigarette habit
among young women has led directly
to an increase in the tuberculosis rete,
DR.. Fisk maintained Faulty diet, hte
hours, added to the strain Of CONNER
cial and industrial employment an;
the unfavorable influence of sedentary
business also are factors in the return
inc prevalence Of the disease, he said.
The hope of the modern young wo-
man, he held lies in personal hygiene;
and he maintained that the pub
lie education authorities should be the
leaders In this work.

May Be Shot
rerk at the Moddrell has been SO
conducted that when the time arrives
for an explosive discharge this may be
accomplished without difficulty or
.isnger of running the hole.
As yet shot has never been made
in the Big Lakes oil sands. and it is
quite probable that shot will be made
N the Moddrell to break or shatter
the hard sand, thus opening channels
from q radius of several feet around
the hole. Some interest attaches to
this as it will give better indication
of what may be really expected from
the field. The discovery wells hole is
such that the operators fear to shoot
the sand in it as the we'll might be
damaged beyond saving.

was commenced last May, few days

ROAD CONTRACTS TO BE AWARDED BY BOARD FRIDAY
Work On First Avenue Paving Project Starts %rsat IS nE ,E

Jefferson county Board of Revenue will open about fifteen bids at noon Friday from contractors, setting forth | proposals for construction work on the county's share of the First avenue pay ing project.
 After consideration, two contracts will be let, one for paving from Forty firststo Forty seventh streets and from ] Seventy-first to Eighty-fIfth streets. and another for paving from Forty seventh to Seventy streets.
 aEstibates of the amount of work to De done, the type of paving, and the costs have been made by c. J. Rogers, county highway engineer.
 The contracts for the two shorter stretches will call for widening the present pavement, which was laid sev- eral years ago at considerable ex- pense. The base of this paving is to be- of concrete, and is said5 to be in goods condition. i. Cost is estimated at approximately $50000 for the widen ing and laying of two-inch black top over all. Twenty thousand yards must beflaid, it was said.
 No Base To Paving
 The stretch of. paving from Forty 1 seventh to Seventy y-first streets will re- l quire the greater expenditure, inas- much as no base exists under the pres ent paving. A two-ineh bituminous top was thrown down quickly on the for mer surface of the road to serve as tenn | porary relief until a good pavement could be placed. Three types of top are being considered, all of concrete base. Two different kinds of concrete | base are also to be contained in the proposals, it is understood, one to be i of Magnolia slag cement and the. other of the usual Portland < cement. The three types of top which may be used over either kind of base are the brick, the black bituminous and the solid con crete of. same material as the base.
 4s1s; To Be Eight Inches Thick
 Tn any case, the pavement will be eight inches thick, Mir. Rogers said, 1 Either there will be a six-inch base with two-inch top, or solid eight inch pavement.
 "All of the types under .considera- ton are calculated to give the same quality of service" Mir. Rogers stated. Contracts will be awarded to the low est bidders, as usual" .r |
 The cost of the work between Forty seventh and SeventJfirst, streets is placed at about $125,000 for the 51 900 yards of pavement Five thousand dollars additional will be expended for new water ways and piping.
 The First avenue paving project, un- der considerable for many years, will beopaid for jointly by the county; the city and the Birmingham Electric com ! pany. The city will widen the street where necessary, and pay for aIone- foot curb and the sidewalk. The coun- ty will carry the cost of paving the strips on each side of the street be- tween the car lines and the curb. The Electric company will pave the width of its right of way and IS inches addi- tional on each side of the rails. Brick top will be used by the company it was said. "a
 Work will probably start on First avenue within 80 days, Mir. Rogers de- clared. Contracts will be signed by the county shortly and bonds amounting to about $30,000 will be made by the contractors before construction be- gins.
