AID TO HILLMAN
Tempory Means Devised
To Help Congestion
At Institution

Physicians and other officials con-
neeted with several Birmingham hOspi-
tails have expressed a willingness to CO.
operate as far as possible with county
officials in relieving the congestion at
Hillman hospital by distributing pa
tents among the other institutions of
the city, in accordance with suggestions
contained in letter to the board of
revenue from DIR. William G. Gewin of
the Birmingham General hospital.
Willing TIC Help
After calling attention to the fact
that there are a dozen hospitals in the
city of Birmingham, DIR. Gewin sug-
gested in his letter, which was read at
Fridays meeting of the board, that
patients could be cared for at the Bir-
mingham General hospital at a cost OF
approximately S12 per patient per
week, or So less than the expense OF
caring for them at Hillman. He sug.
gested that the board get in touch with
the heads of these other institutions
and ascertain whether a similar ar
rangement could be made.
Indications Friday, however, were
that the plan of DIR. Gewin probably
would be resorted to only as an emer-
gency measure and would in no way
interfere with the announced purpose
of the board to spend from $3.50, 900 to
$500, 900 on new building for Hillman
hospital. Immediately after the letter
was read and ordered filed, the board
voted unanimously to authorize H. B.
Wheelock, county architect, to go ahead
with the drawing of preliminary plans
for the new structure, with the under
standing, however, that he would not
receive any compensation unless used.

ALLURING DOOR OF
new PERFUME GIVES
GIRLS MORE CHARM
"But all things about her are drawn
From Maytime and the dewy dawn"
Wordsworth.

The delicate and alluring fragrance
which seems to be almost a part Of
most women, has an appeal all its own
which makes their appearance and
company SO pleasing. That delicate
perfume seems to pervade their hair
their skin, the very air they breathe
You fairly drink in the intoxicating
and dazzling charm Of such women.
If you look for the reason why this
fragrance seems so personal, so in
finite and SO natural, you will inva-
riably find it is the perfume Of their
favorite toilet necessities, which bear
the well-known Black and White trade
mark.
Never before has such tremendous
approval been given by the girls and
women Of this country to any new
creation as they are heaping on the un.
usually dainty and delicate odor known
and expressed best by the enhancing
term, Incense Of Flowers"
That it is unusual is best proven by
the tremendous sale of 50-cent Face
Powder, and the Dissent Talcum
Powder, which bear the famous Black
and White label. Incense OF Flowers
perfume is blended with their ex.
quisite texture, forming what is fast
being realized by girls and women as
the height of excellence in body sachet
and complexion finish.

CIVIC CHAMBER
TO GET OPTIONS
Veil OF Secrecy Shrouds
Location OF Sites For
I'd. New Home

Options ON three downtown sites
under consideration for the new home
of the Chamber of Commerce will be
obtained early next week, o. l.. Bum,
secretary and manager, announced
Friday.
"None of these sites is more than
four blocks from the Age-Herald build
ing" he said. 1.-TWO of them are i'm
proved with buildings that would ex-
actly suit our needs. If the third site
were purchased we would have to
build our new home
Approximately $4,000 will be
available for the requirement of new
headquarters for the chamber, Bum
said, and the present building will be
vacated October 1.
1--WE are too crowded here" said
Bum, land must have a building of
our own in order to properly handle
the rapidly increasing volume of bust
ness. The directors are thoroughly
sold on the idea and quick action will
be taken"
Mr.. Bum guarded the exact loca-
tons of the proposed new sites, de-
ciaring their announcement at this
time probably would cause property
values in the adjoining vicinities to
jump.
las soon as / get the options signed,
all details of our plan to move into n
new home October 1 will be given the
public" he declared.
Conferences between chamber Of
ficials and the owners of the proposed
sites were held Friday afternoon, and

George L. Frank, president Of the
Firemen's Association of Chicago.
said yesterday that the prospects of
the fremen of Chicago getting a
raise of $500 a year from the city

The firemen presented to the city
council at their last meeting a pc
tition containing 100000 names ask
ing for a raise at once.
At the present time firemen are
working for wages ranging from
Sl,64O year to $4,000 year. They
work for "a hours and are off duty

BRITISH WHITE
GUARDS ORGANIZE
AGAINST LABOR
Out in the Open as
Workers Rule Threatens

LONDON, Feb. I5.-British aris-

met last night at the famous Cecil
Hotel, in black shirts to sound a
warning against the possibility of
British labor expecting to gain power
by peaceful methods.
From all over the British Isles
came delegates of the Fascist to
the first open function held under
the auspices Of the English section
of the Fascist. Mussolini's agents
were there in great number, headed
by the Italian ambassador. The
leading Italian families were repre-
scented.
The British Fascist admit that
there is no danger Of the present
British Labor Party endangering cap
italist rule at present but Should they
gain a majority, the Black Shirt bril-
gade would go into action and es-
tablish an open dictatorship. The
moth-eaten constitutional tradition Of
peaceful transition will be given
rude jolt by the British 100 per
centers.
