BEAUTY WITHIN YOUR REACH
MOles Or Beauty Spots

II you have a mole or two and
have made up your mind to rid
yourself of them, go to godd ply
stefan or surgeon and try to persuade
him to cut them out. You may not
succeed. IL the mole Is normal, caus-
es no irritation and is not growing
he will probably advise you to leave
it alone.
By no means attempt to remove
the mole yourself. You may have
heard it said that to have a mole,
especially a deep seated mole, cut
out may induce cancer. On the con-
trary, there is no such danger from
this little operation if it is done by
good surgeon. If you have a ten
dency to cancer the danger comes in
applying cosmetics or home remedies.
The irritation caused by such treat
ments would be far more likely to
induce cancerous growth than re-
moval by a surgeons knife.
An old rule for removing fieshy
moles was to tie the offending bit of
skin near the root with a silk or
hair. This ligature stops the circu-
lation in the mole and within few
days it may be rubbed off, leaving
only a small scar. Effectual though
this method may be 1T is to be
strongly condemned.
But why remove your moles at
all?
They are really no mar to beauty,
Indeed, the Arabs did, and still do,
regard them as an additional charm,
and like to describe them as "a
globule of ambergris upon dish of
alabaster."
Besides being regarded actually as
things of beauty-and you will find
this sentiment repeatedly in modern |
French literature as we'll as Arabic
they are often considered signs of
beauty. That is, if a woman pos
sesses moles she is prone to be
beautiful otherwise. /
Anne Boleyn, one of the wives of
Henry VIII, had many small moles,
which were said by contemporary
writer's to be incident of the clearest
The idea was that if
the dark skin celebration was col
iected in moles there would be less
IN the rest of the skin. And not often
happens among dark-skinned races
hat the women whose skin is the
arrest and clearest are marked with
noles.

GARDEN GLORY

When the primitive race was driv'
en- out of it's Garden of Eden, it evil
IDENTIFY went indoors. For genera
ton we have fitted our rooms with
exquisit care, but outside our foul
square walls we permitted mud, ash
es and tin cans to reign in bOlshe-
visit disorder.
Recently however, we have opened
our windows and doors and have
awakened to the charm of the porch
We have stepped that far outside
the house Now the sleeping porch,
the sun parlor and the living porch
are favorite resorts. We should,
however, take a step farther. We
should.
Come out into the garden Maude!
J In sunny Italy, the people are an
outdoor people. Even in the most
cooped-up slums, they live with their
head hanging out of the window,
under the blue skies. The Italian
word villa was not the house, nor the
garden, but referred to a combina-
ton of the two.
In Spain, the house boosted an
open spot in the center, court,
where fountain and greenery and
fresh air and open galleries coaxed
into the open.
A new love is developing in Amer
lea. 1t is striking the cities first
it is the love of a garden. The
cramped spaces in city yards does
not make much concession to the
gardener, but it is marvellous how
tiny formal gardens are proving the
inherent delight of all of us, in little
shut-in green places.
Landscaping can do much any
where. A few shrubs, vine or two,
a fernery, tree, a border OF box,
a hedge of green, bed OF bloom,
a garden bench, perhaps bird-bath
and a bird house, can bring bit OF
Eden to the very doors of most OF us.
Women, in their organization are
awaking to the Joy of gardening.
Planting not for plants sake, but
for loves sake. To train vine over
a doorway will still be symDof OF
home loving.
Think of the stabilizing, serenity
ing, posing influences OF raising
radishes and sweet peas! Picture
the 10y of working with child IN
a garden! Fancy the delight of stroll
ling there at the edge of day TO
noint out the best beloved a new
bud or new plant just peeplng from
the ground! Imagine sitting on the
garden bench in the Moonlight, dream
ing the old dreams and lending the
soul to sweet thoughts.

Roller Skating On City Streets
 Banned By Cloe

OHILDREN who received roller
 skates from Stanta Claus will
 have to watch their step or stride as the case may be, during the next few weeks as Commissioner Cloe has instructed his patrolmen to pear down" on law breakers.
 The city ordinance, Cloe says, pro- hibits skating, both on the sidewalks and street pravements, but he declares himself willing to contenance a con servative amount of the former for the sake of his own childhood days.
 Skating on the street pavement, though, should stop immediately he asserts, "because of the many traffic dangers that surround children. From my own observation l have seen long strings of eight and nine year old tots caught on behind an automobile. A stumble or another machine swing around the corner might result fat ally
 Cloe asks the cooperation of moth- CTS and fathers in keeping children from the streets and will direct his men to warn parents besides caution / ing the child when a juvenile law breaker is found. Two or three warn- ings will merit stricter punishment, he states and although the schedule has not been worked out it will prob ably bring something synonymous to staying after school or some other drastic penalty.

Mass Of Interesting Sta. /. tistics Dug Up By
 Officials AVERAGE OF $90.34 FOR ALL OF CITIES Richmond Only City Sur veyed With Lower
 School Expense 173 OF EVERY 1000 DAILY ATTENDANTS Encouraging Growth Due To
 Greatly Improved
 Facilities

The cost of education in Birmingham is $5O.O6 per year each child Ill the public schools, while countrywide av- craze among cities of similar size IS S9O.34, according to statistics given out Saturday by W. E. Putnam, director or the research department of the school system.
 This shows" said Director Putnam, "the need for greater financial support of the schools in this city,
 One of the main factors entering into educational costs is the number Of pupils assigned to each teacher, Put nam said, in showing that the average Birmingham teacher has 35 children in daily average attendance, while only two cities in the country-Boston and Scranton-show as many pupils per teacher.
 By comparing Birmingham with rep resentative cities in it's class throughout the country Mir. Putnam has prepared a number of charts which show the fol lowing interesting facts:
 Low School Costs
 Birmingham's school costs are the lowest in the country with the exception of Richmond, Va.
 The length of the school day here is 56 hours, as compared with country wide average of 5.3 hours. The length of the school year here is 177 days, or 991 hours, as against an average over the country of 1S8 days or 1,003 hours.
 The cost of education per 1000 hours here is $76.12, as compared with the country's average of SS9.46.
 IT. cents a day, to give each of the local students their shooling.
 Director Putnam said Birmingham stands near the head of the list in the proportion of it's total population in average daily attendance in the public schools. Here, 173 out of every 1000 Only four cities, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Scranton and New Haven exceed this proportion. The average throughout the United States is 140 school students in each 1000 of popu- lation.
 Attendance Rate High
 Birmingham position near the top of the list in percentage of it's total population in attendance on it's schools is the result of steady growth in this percentage snce 10UO, Olrector Iut- nam said.
 Back in 1890 and 190O," he added, "opdy S.3 per cent of the city's popu- lation was attending school. This in- creased to 11.7 per cent in 1910. to 13S per cent in 1920, and to 16.3 in 1924, based on the estimated present population. The increase in the four years since 1920 has been 2.5 per cent, while it was only 2,1 per cent during the ten years between 1910 and 1920.
 This encouraging growth is due to the greatly improved faci ities, curri- culum and buildings and also to the in' creased holding power of the schools. The percentage of popula tion in school attendance is double what it was in 1890. These figures should cause Bir- mingham citizens to feel proud Of the progress it's school system is making among the cities of the country"

MOTORISTS'C
 PROGRAM READY
Headquarters Established
 At All Twenty-First Street

The new home of the Alabama Motor ists' Association at All Twenty-first street, north, will be open to the pub lie Thursday, January 1, President Paul H. Earle announced Saturday.
 In the meantime, the executive com mittee of the association will meet and complete the organzation of the head quarters staff, which will be headed by a high-powered executive secretary, around whom much of the association's activity during the year ahead will cen ter.
 The headquarters will be-handsomely furnished and will compare favorably with any in the south, according to James Arthur Smith, chairman of the special committee appointed to select headquarters and get the association established in them.
 With the opening of it's new rooms, the association will proceed with the far-reaching program it has-planned for 1925 in the interest of motor car own CTS of Birmingham and Alabama.
 The. good roads committee, headed by Ted Brownell, the legislative com mittee, headed by Frank E. Spain, and the membership committee headed by F. NJ. King, will swing into action this week, their chairmen announced Satur- day. The other standing committees now have reports practically ready for presentation to the membership. New memberships are still being received at rapid rate, according to President Earle.
 "The association goes into the new year with great prospects and with a determination to be of real service" said Mir. Earle. Our plans which have been carefully worked out, contemplate that Birmingham shall have the qwOst efficient motor organization in the whole south. Nothing short of that mark will satisfy us."

COAL PRODUCTION
 FOR 1924 TOTALS. OVER; 19,000,
Records To Show Sub- . stantial Gain Over
 1922
PROGRESS IS MADE
 IN SAFETY WORK
Operators Face New Year Confident Of Business Revival

Coal production in Alabama for 1924 will be about 19,50O,0O0 tons, accord ing to an estimate Saturday by c. H. Nesbitt, chief inspector of mines. While this tonnage is not record-breaker, mine officials and state inspectors are very much pleased with the output.
 Operations for the year were slowed down to a marked extent during the early summer and into the early fall. Since June, however, gradual improve ment was noticeable up to cessation of work Christmas eve. The industry op- erated at a slow pace greater part of the year and it was to be expected that production would be somewhat under the banner year of 1923,' but above 1922.
 The production for 1923 was 20,919.. 3O3 short tons, which was decided increase over 1922, when the output was 1S,757,6S1, much less than the estimated tonnage of 1924. The 1n- crease of 1923 over 1922 was 2,161, ,622, which was considered most favorable showing.
 Inspector Nesbitt said Saturday that accidents this year had consisted most ly of isolated cases of rock falls, minor accidents, roof falling, and the like. The district has been free of mine dis asters," which have visited this section of America from time to time.
 Result Satisfactory.
 "We will produce more coal in 1924 than we did in 1922, but not as much as we did in 1925" said Inspector Nes- bitt in discussing the year! "The mines have been unable to operate as fully as we hope will be the case in 1925, but there has been a satisfactory result just the samea We have, I believe, produced 19, ,5OO,OO6 tons of coal. but we cannot tell exactly until the official figures are sent to this office during the first quarter of 1925. It is safe to say, how ever, that we have exceeded 1922 by a good margin.
 '"The mines have been resuming stead fly since the beginning of cold weather and from now on I believe the situation will make decided progress. We have every reason to think that 1925 will be an exceptionally fine year. All indi' cations point to vast increase Tn the demand for Alabama coal, and we are hopeful of breaking many existing rec ords.
 q attribute some\of the overcoming of serious accidents to company execu- tives leaving nothing unprovided which would make safer their properties, to the careful employees and to the cam paign going ahead in this state among all mine workers, upbuilding safety first practices. Nothing is quite so import ant as educating men that they can re- duce hazard to an astonishing extent by carefulness. Nineteen twenty-four has been, generally speaking, most pro gressive and we are inclined to approach 1925 with every assurance that the year will be one filled with achievement and further progress"
