THRILLS GALORE M
 CHILDREN OF JAZZ
Much Excitement Packed In
 Picture At Capitol

Enough thrills for a full length se- rial are said to be packed into. the Par amount production of Children of Jazz," which will be the feature at the Capitol Theatre today and Saturday. This is asuperb romantic comedy-mel- odrama featuring Theodore Kosloff, Ricardo Cortez, Robert Cain and Ell cen Percy.
 The story opens with the return of, John Weston (Alec Francis) to his home after a prolonged European tour to find his house .given over to jazz by his daughter, Babs. With him is Rich ard. Forestall (Theodore KOsloff) ten tatiyely engaged to marry the. girl, Babs, played by Eileen Percy. But seeing her under the inuence of many mixed drinks and learning that shf has, while in this state, become engaged to two young wasters, he will have none of her.
 Then follow several thrilling cpl sodes in which Basb on lark, induces Clyde Dunbar (RObert Cain) and her sVi With lHuus DuAudi WhNy PVt trayed by Irene Walton, as chaperOne for a spin in his hydrOplane. A storm is brewing, and the plane is forced to land on the water. It runs aground, and the occupants are thrown free, that is, all save Ted, who is wedged be- meath the wreckage. The Dunbars make dash for safety higher mp on the shore, but Babs sticks and finally s,iccepds in freeing Ted This is n gripping scene, for at every moment the hueg waves threaten to wash the pair away.
 Several interesting developments en- sue, among these being the meeting of the people of 1923 with the people of 1850. Forestall attempts to teach Babs that women of the present day are having things too much their own way and need the dominatin gpersonality of a' man of 1850. Imagine jazz girl" like Babs washing dishes and sewing; what could be more prepos- terous?
 There is smashing climax. The pursuit of Forestalls chartered schonO- CT by the hdroplane containing Ted and Dunbar and their drop to the deck of the ship in parachutes, with the ensu- ing battle with mutineers, is thrilling. Then comes the final view of Richard and Babs and the Dunbars standing on the beach of the small island re- united and watching Ted, who in giv- ing up Babs has madd a great renun. citation. He sails from the little harbor into a new life, his jag zdays over, and he is going to make something of him. self.

BIBLE SCHOOLS
 FOR EVERY DAY
Leading Churches Start New
 Plan For Religious Education

Children of the South Highlands s public school, whose parents desire them to do so, will have an opportunity to attend Sunday" school six days a week and receive regular school credit for it, according to recent announce ment of the Sunday school board of religious education Thursday.
 As an experiment the Sunday school council has gained the consent of four of the leading Southside churches and the public school to conduct week day church school one hour each day during the school period. The school will be opened February 4. in a build- ing next door to the South Highlands school. and all children in the district will be eligible, provided they have the written consent of their parents.
 The board of education has indorsed the school and its members have agreed to cooperate with it. The school, how ever, is under the control of the Sunday school council of religious education. The instructor will be paid by the churches fostering the plan.
 The school will be non n-denominational and will have for its object the train- ing of children in the sfundamentals anu ol tuC ShliStiuh iCiiSi It will be maintained by the churches and the community in which it is or ganized. Other churches in the dis trict who wish to come in with the school may do so by expressing such a desire, leaders of the movement stated Thursday.
 At present the school. when started, will be the only one in the city. If the experiment with it proves successful the movement is expected to spread to all parts of Birmingham. Pastors of the churches indorsing the plan were enthused over the idea and were con- fident it would be a success. The chil- dren will not be taught creed, but merely the fundamental principles of religion and love for the teachings of the Bible.
 Each community will have it's govern. ing board, composed of the prominent pastors and laymen of it's churches They will supervise the policy of the school as the board of education super. vises the public schools. This plan of the week day church school has been tried successfully in several of Q the northern cities, it is stated. and back CTS of the school here feel confident that Birmingham will make it sue cess.
 Five hundred children can be ac commodated in the room secured above the Five Points station. They will bt divided into classes similar to the grade. in the schools, each class coming al different periods during the day Miss Elizabeth Duncan has been engaged b, the combined churches to teach the 'firs school. The Southside Baptist, High land Methodist, St. Marys Episcopa and the Independent Presbyterian churches are promoting the project.

You can get the most

 by eating bakings that

 not get the full nutritious
 value of the wheat-nor willyour bakings be as pal atable and easily digested. The same results cannot be had if you use Self Rising Flours, which are improperly packed in porous sacks or bags, thus allowing absorp- ton of moisture from the air. Food authorities and physi- clans agree that bakings that do not raise properlyare badfor health. Such foods are hard to digest and iA time cause stom- ach trouble.
 Mothers who are interested in the proper growth and health of their children (and all mothers are) should never use anything but good brand of plain flour and time-tested leavener such as Calumet-the economy Baking Powder.
 Calumet has more than the ordi- nary leavening strength. It raises every baking to its height of nutri- tious value. It is pure and depend able-do not look for substitute there is none.

HOW ABOUT YOUR
TARIFF TAX"

Some Of the Journals news read
ers will surely recall the dire predic-
lions made by the Democrats when
tile Republicans were framing the
present tariff law: will remember
they told US that foreigners would
not buy OF us as the tariff was so
h&h we could not buy OF them. 1t
WAS wofui prediction that they
then made. The United States was
surely headed for a swift decline.
lIere are some recent facts which
mlght serve them as the string
chewing upon which would hfford
them proof as to the pudding: the
value Of our imports last month was
$2sS.0oo, 900. an increase OF 10000
900 over September 1929. Foreigners
appeared to find a pretty good mar
ket here under the existing tariff.

every year since the war the foreign
or had had to depend less and less on
American goods. he bought from us
last month goods to the value Of
$Aa7,eoe,0o or forty-five and q half
millions more than for September Of
the previous year.
We have seen In all the speeches

Undoubtedly there are many who
think that an American has to pay
much more duty on anything which
he buys from the imports than does
