MILK CONTROL TO BE FEATURE IN BIG EXHIBIT All Activities Of Health Department Included
 In Display

A comprehensive exhibit showing the activities and accomplishments of the Jefferson county department of health. will be one of the notable fea- lures of the housewives exhibition in the municipal auditorium this week.
 Under direction of Dr. J. D. Dowl- ing, health officer, everything was placed in position Saturday, and health experts will be on hand throughout the week to answer questions and otherwise help visitors to grasp the full signlfl- canoe of the elaborate display.
 Milk and food control, communicable diseases, city and county sanitation, public health nursing, infant welfare and laboratory work will be specially emphasized, Dr. Bowling said.
 The milk control exhibit has been planned with great care, and is expected to be a center of interest, in view ot the recent pure milk fight the depart ment has been waging.
 "The public can see this milk exhlDlt and readily understand why the health department opposed the adoption ot the so-called stabilization ordinance spon- spred by small group of raw. milk dairymen," declared a statement issued at the health office.

OFFICERS ARE OFF :
 FOR JOHN MILTON
Negro Axe-Man To Be Brought
 Back To Birmingham

John Milton, wanted in Birmingham for the axe murder of eight-months-oid Maedron Collins and an assault on the babes mother three months ago near Morris, Ala, is expected to be turned over to Chief Deputy Sheriff Hill and Deputy Sheriff Johnnie Jones sometime Sunday by officials of Ravenna, Ohio.
 Both officials left Birmingham Fri day evening for the Ohio town, armed with necessary papers. Before leaving, they announced that Milton will be brought back to Birmingham, but did not say just when, their plans after leaving Ohio being kept secret in order tp prevent any demonstration against the negro.
 Positive identification of Milton came Friday when Mir. Hill received photo graphs from Ohio, identical in every respect with photographs of Milton, taken while a prisoner in the state nenitentiary.

ROMANCE FADES FROM
SOUTH SEAS WITH JAZZ

PAPEETE, Tahiti, Oct. IL
Moving pictures and radio, jazz
music, motor cars and bobbed hair
have crowded out the old native
customs of Tahiti, and some OF the
romance of the South Seas would ap
pear to be on the wane.
Time was when July IA, the ami
versary of the fall of the Bastile,
was the great native festival Of
these islands. There were singing
and dancing contests among the
native clans, prepared for months
in advance, and the competition for
real excellence was keen. This year
only few small and mediocre COM
panies entered the contests, and in
terest was distinctly lacking. The
principal centers of attraction were
the dancing pavilions. Along the
waterfront where jazz bands led the
jewellers in fox trots to a contin.

And my lord, who had been NOV
