business within easy call in Chicago and how Mr.. Gross
succeeded in keeping out OF cell until his pardon

Grossman a pardon, operate to bemuddle the marshal

BENEDICT SCOFFLAW
With Apologies to Barbara
- By Franklin c. Read.


Up from their tryst with Barleycorn,
Staggering forth winter morn,
The "Scoflaw' raided Capitol halls
Shouting their loud IS. o. S." calls.
Beer and Wine!" how they how'd the words,
Those thirsty insoent Scoffaw hordes.
Forty bills with their calls for Booze;
Forty bills (now, which shall we chooseO
Flutter'd up to the Speakers desk
With argument speo;ous and plea grotesque
But when the sessions of Congress done,
Of those forty bills, it had pass'd-not onei
Up old Benedict Scoflaw then,
And hied him forth to a 'rnoonshne" den:
Together they plotted the law to defy,
To faunt in the face of each passer-by.
Their Personal Lberty'-no Blue Laws"
No psychologists" should give them pausel
So most foolhardy of all their crew,
They sought out a quart of their worst Home Brew"
On the front veranda the Hootch they set
To show that to Booze they were loyal yet.
Up the street Cleanup squad"
Seeking the scorners of law to prod
AS glanced their leader to left and right
The bottle of home-brew met his sight.
"Halti' and the squad prepared for
Raid" they shatterd the boed door.
Quick the door crashing down,
Old Scofflaw brandish'd bottle brown.
"Shoot, if you must, this boozc-addlcd head
But spare my bottle of beerr' he said
But they seized old Scofflaw and Bootlegger too,
They demolished the still and they poud the brewt
-sootegger and Scofflaw were hurried away
To prison, to make indefinite stay.
Benedicts work will soon be o'er
Soon shall need DRY raids rIore
For passion and appetite must give way,
And the "bone-dry" laws have stay.
Peace to his ashes! and let tear
Fall, think how he died for beer
Over the haunts where "Hootch- Huns gloat,
Flag of freedom and purity, float!
Peace and order and beauty draw
Round thy symbol of light and law.
Float, by breezes Of Paradise fann'd
A stainless hag DER boozeless land!

and provides space for the present for the entire school without using the au- ditorium for Sunday school purposes. The auditorium is finished in mahog- any and ivory. It will seat 500 people with the entrances and pulpit in the front of the building and has a large choir platform for chorus of sixty.
 Beautiful pews and piano have been installed Special features of the auditorium are the art glass windows. There are 24 small windows and one large window in the center behind the pulpit. Ten of the small windows have been taken as memorial windows by members of the congregation for their departed loved ones, and the large win dow is installed by the congregation in memory of former pastors who have died.
 Much of the success of the building undertaking is attributed to the work of the building committee consisting of H. H. Thomas. chairman; A. o. Goude- lock, secretary; J. s. Arnold, archi- tect and builder; Frank L. Lollar, chairman of finance committee; J. F. McGill, SIT. Clotfelter and R. l.. Dill, pastor. To this list must be added all most the entire congregation, because practically every one of over 700 peo- pie has contributed in some way this year to this work. A total of 5000 in cash has been contributed this year.

 Sea-Worthiness
 An officer of the United States ma rine corps tells the story of a great hur- ricane that lately broke on Honolulu One of the great American liners an chored there in the harbor at the time suddenly steamed up and pointed her prov toward mid-ocean. The landlub- bers were amazed; they wondered why the great ship would undertake to brave the storm Some watched through their glasses at their. windows as the great vessel made for the open sea, fighting heroically to clear the bar. For while, the report states, "she hung like Il lark in the teeth of the storm, and finally cleared. There in the open deep, in a fair fight, she licked the hur- ricane" and rode majestically over the horizon to her destination through stormless waters, under cloudless skies The ships that remained in the harbor were dashed to pieces against each other.
 The One Captain Clearly, the short lesson embraced in the brief passage above, teaches, or ought to teach, that whether it be on the large liners of human action, char tered by constructive cooperation; or whether it be with ''his own little canoe" that every man must individ- ually paddle for himself, there is equal ly available, there is universally avail able, the great captain of all the crafts that sail the sea of life, who is able to hush the; storms and still the waves, and insure a safe arrival into the har- bor where they shall finally drop an chor, and be at peace eternally.

FARVIEW CHURCH WILL OPEN TODAY
Dr. R. L. Dill, Pastor, To Preach Special
 Sermon

Tie new S50,000 Fairview Methodist church will be formally opened at II o'clock Sunday morning with a special sermon by Rev. k. l.. Dill. the pastor, During the afternoon talks will be made by visiting pastors, and laymen and the people will be shown through the church. These services begin at o'clock.
 The church was started March IT. Since work was begun, not day has been lost by the workmen nor stop called for lack of support or other req sons, Dr. Dill said.
 The church is located in the midst of a growing community. Situated or Ensley boulevard just at the intersec' tion of the main highway from West End, it is in position easy of access to many dwellers in the suburban sec tion. The congregation had long been forced to worship in an inadequate frame building.
 The structure is of brick through out and embraces a large well-lighted auditorium and complete educational and social plant. One of the features that will attract the attention of visit ors is the large social hall. This will not only be used for Sunday school pur- poses, but will serve as a general meet ing place for all the social activities of the church. It has a stage in one end and a complete kitchen in the other for the use of the women of the church It is so arranged that it can be easily converted into large banquet hall.
 Each department of the Sunday school has a separate meeting place

Great Caesar


 One day, few years before the Mas ter of the wind and waves was born, g great Italian warrior was in boat witf his staff on the Adriatic sea. There were 90 men at the oars. Caesar was in search of an army that had failed to carry out orders to be on certain front at a given time.
 A high wind began to blow; the waves began to chop and slash about messenger. He arose from his cabin cot pulled his short toga about him and buckling his broad sword on, strode out to the midst of the frenzied oars men. Then rising to his full height and folding his arms dramatically, said "Go forward, Great Caesar is here; his fortune sails with you"
 Naturally enough the presence of the general and these words of naughty self-confidence heartened the crew; ev- cry one, as if a little of Caesars strength had entered into his soul, did his dead level best against the bitter gale that dashed the waves to demon. like fury. But it was of no .use. The ship was all but filled with water and all but sunk. It was forced to turn back. Caesars faith was only pride and boastful self-confidence born of vanity vaunting ambition.
 John Mark, one of the crew that ex. perienced the storm there on the little Sea of GalileeI when a different manner of leader was on board, is telling of a different sort of faith.
 ChildishneSs And ChiId.likeneSS
 One blustry, wintry night in Brook lyn, Henry Ward Beecher was speak ing from this part of Marks story as a text In his peroration the remark able orator used the following illustra- tion: "A child lies in his little bed in some high chamber of an old castle, and hears the tempest growing in the chimney, and the proving thief-winds at the window, and the scream of the spirits in the air The storm rocks the walls and beats upon the roof and he shudders and covers his head, and ex- poets at every burst of thunder that the castle will go crashing to the ground. But down in the room below his father sits unmoved, reading by the fire. Only now and then, when the tempest swells, he raises his spectacles for moment and whispers. God help the poor wretches on the sea tonight. and any .belated traveller caught out in such a storm as this;' and then turns to his book again In the morning the child hardly dares to look out lest the heav- ems and the earth have passed away, but the father only walks into his gar den to see if some old tree has been blown down, or some unprOpped vine has fallen from its trellis.

WHY SONS WATER IS HARD" Calcium In Solution Responsible For
 Much Laundry Trouble.

The laundryman and the housewife, who have to wash clothes and dishes, know well the disadvantages of hard water. The engineer is also cognizant of its drawbacks, and the trouble it brings about not only in boilers as it is being converted into steam, but in va rious industrial processes, particularly in the manufacture of textiles, calico printing, dyeing and finishing textile fabrics, where a soft water is essential to the success of the process.
 Water is hard for natural reasons and when in the course of circum- stances it happens that hard water is encountered and must be used, because there is no other available, there is nothing left to do but use it. Fortu- nately it is possible to remove the hard ness of water by simple chemical means, which can be applied by the housewife and laundryman just as well as by the chemist or engineer in the industrial plant.
 To understand how this can be done, it is necessary to know that there are two forms of hardness of water, tenn porary hardness. and permanent hard ness.
 Temporary hardness is caused by the | presence Tn water or a salt calcium, known as calcium bicargonate. This substance is soluble in water and when [ such water is used in washing clothes, the soap dissolves to form scum in stead of filmy studs as when the water is soft. This film makes it difficult to clean dishes or wash clothes Chemi- cally the explanation is that the cal cium soap, formed between the soluble calcium compound in the water and the soap itself, is insOluble in water and forms a precipitate.
 To remove temporary hardness all that is necessary is to boil the water. The calcium bicarbonate is decomposed to form an insoluble substance, cal cium carbonate, limestone, chalk. This settles to the bottom of the vessel in which the heating is done and the su- pernatant water is quite soft. Now it will yield soap studs with soap and can be used for every purpose that water is inherently soft can be employed Permanent hardness of water cannot be removed by boiling the water. Hence the significance of it's name. A simple chemical process must |, used to de stroy the permanent hardness of the water. The substance that is respon- | sible for the permanent hardness O
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-10-19

water is known as sulfate of calcium. Sometimes sulfate of magnesium (Ep- som salt) is the cause of permanent hardness. Both these substances are soluble in water and when soap comes into contact with such water soap studs are not formed, but thick scum which makes washing clothes with the water very laborious and difficult matter.
 To destroy permanent hardness of water all that is necessary is to add sufficient soda to change the sulfate ot caleium or magnesium into the carbo- nate (which is is insoluble in water and pfeefpitates to the bottom of the tank. Ti1e water is made absolutely soft by this treatment. No matter what the color, name or claimed powers of the water softening agent may be, it Is soda content of the same-and all gen. etaIlR contain soda-that determines its watef-softening powers. - Scientific American.

CITY TO WELCOME
 EVANGELIST TEAM
Group From Meridian To Conduct Three Services
 Today

The Gipsy Smith Eyangelistic Team No. 20. composed of railroad men of Meridian, Miss. is in Birmingham to- day for three services.
 At Il o'clock the team will conduct q service at the Acipco Methodist church At o'clock the members will visit the Sixty-seventh Street Methodist church fer meeting. The day will close with an evening service at North Highlands Methodist church at 7:30 o'clock.
 This team will afford the people of the sections visited an opportunity to see unique religious organization. The hegining of the work dates back to the closing of a Gipsy Smith revival in June, 1923, when the laymen of Me-

ridian organized to conserve and spread the influence of Gipsy Smiths work in their midst.
 From the beginning, the league in- cluded many of the leading business and professional men of the city and num- bered over 400 men, divided into 22 teams. Practically aH the musicians ct Meridian were enlisted in the work.
 The organization is under the direc- ton of l.. H. McRaven, leading in- surance man of Meridian. He takes the various calls for the services of the lay workers and assigns teams to those places asking for help. While the work has been largely done in Lauderdale and surrounding Mississippi counties, several visits have been made before to points in Alabama. This is the second visit to Birmingham.
 There are three teams composed wholly of railroad men and the team coming to Birmingham is one of these. It numbers 40 men, all employed by the Southern railway. The Southern rail. way arranges for the men to come, and while here, they will be entertained in the homes of railroad men. The pastors of the churches visited extend a cordial invitation to all who desire to attend these services.

 36. And leaving the multitude, they take Him with them, even as He was, in the boat. And other boats were with Him.
 37. And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
 3S. And He Himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?
 39. And he awoke, and rebuked the wis, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, land there was great calm.
 40. And He said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
 Al. And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?

 Facts Before Public

The fact about spiritualism will be presented Sunday night at the First Presbyterian church by Dr. Trevor Mordecai, pastor.
 Dr. Mordecai has made special study of claims of mediums and in- vestigators of the supernatural. This study has extended to personal atten- dance at seances to discover what truth lies in reported communications with the dead.
 The sermon Sunday night is one of a series on more or less popular subjects which the new member of Birmingham s ministry is developing. The church has recently resumed Sunday night services Gs part of their downtown mission.

OCTAvIA

Octavia was the daughter of Claudius, Roman Emperor. Her mother was Messalina. She was betrothed to Sill anus, but through the intrigues- of Agrippina, the niece and fourth wife of Claudius, she was married when only fifteen to the Emperor Nero. This wretched tyrant soon divorced her to marry P6ppaea--she who kept the 800 she-asses for her milk bath--who had her banished to Campania. She was recalled by the people, but the vindic- tive Poppaea, resolved on her ruin, caused her again to be banished to an island.
 There she was ordered to kill her self by opening her veins. She died at the age of twenty, and her head was cut off and carried to Augusta Poppaea, that monster of iniquity.
