COMMERCE BODY NOW AFTER WSY
 FORADVERTISING
Senior Organization Is Backing Juniors To
 Get Control

Birmingham Chamber of Commerce will be the first iii the United States to operate great radio broad dcasting sta tion, if plans revealed Friday by Sccre- tary o. l.. Bum do not miscarry.
 "If station 'WSY' has not been dis posed of by June l, the chamber, with the support of the junior chamber, will go after it," Mir. Bum said.
 We would proceed" he continued, ito make it one of the foremost stations in the country, and the advertising bene- fits to the Birmingham district and the state of Alabama would be incalcu- able"
 Need Money
 Right now. Mir. Bum explained, the chamber hasn't the money to take over the station. But in June, when new fiscal year starts, the situation will be different.
 The station probably would be given the official designation "BCC" and in addition to broadcasting daily enter tainment programs would send through the air several times a week the news of industrial development in this dis trfct.
 Junior chamber officials have been trying to find a way to have "WSY" converted into full-fledged station, and they were enthusiastic over Secrc- tary Bunn's announcement that the senior chamber would help push the project across.
 If the chamber got that radio, Bir- mingham would be She best advertised city in the world" Bum declared.

'DR. LYON TALKS
 ON HOLY LAND'
Declares History Does Not Re. veal How Old Jerusalem
 Really Is

Under wise leadership and with due regard for the political, material and religious rights of all other occupants of Palestine, see no reason why the Zionist movement may not achieve all that is best in the dreams of its advo- cates," Dr. David Gordon Lyon of Harvard university told an audience at Temple Emanu-El Friday evening.
 Dr. Lyon, who is ranked as one of the leading authorities on ancient and modern Palestine, has been conducting series of lectures at Howard college on Palestine and the Bible."
 Taking as the subject for his final lecture "The Holy City and the Future of Palestine" the speaker said that it is not known how ancient Jerusalem may be. Excavations now in progress have recovered pottery believed to date to 25OO B. C..
 "The first mention of Jerusalem by name occurs in some Babylonian let ters or dispatches sent from the city about 1400 B. c. to the Pharaoh Amen hotep ", father-in-law of Tutankha- men," Dr. Lyon said.
 At that time Jerusalem was a de- pendent of Egypt. Conditions there were similar to those described in Joshua and Judges. The name is not Hebrew, but probably Canaanite or Babylonian. The city is built on two ridges, strongly defended on three sides by steep slopes and deep valleys. On it's capture by David, about 1000 B. C., it became the Israelite capital, and remained such until destroyed by Neb- uchannezzar in 5S6. Restored under Persian rule, it was always overshad- owed by the great powers, Persia, Greece and Rome. In 70 A. D. Rome destroyed it once more, but rebuilt it in the second century as a heather city"
 Spiritual Greatness
 The lecturer characterized the native rulers as lacking for the most part in commanding abilities, Israels greatness residing not in statecraft but in moral and spiritual leadership.
 Many of the splendid passages were quoted from the prophets and the psalms dealing with the glorious future of the city.
 'The New Testament writers mani fest but little interest in the physical Jerusalem. Soon after their time, how ever, a deep Christian affection for the city arose and still endures," Dr. Lyon said.
 The closing part of the lecture was devoted to Zionism, the worldwide Jewish movement to establish a home land in Palestine. Dr. Lyon explained the rise of the movement, it's present state, the hindrances and the helps to success.
 Many stereopticon views were shown of scenes in Jerusalem and vicinity.

TRAVELLERS BOOST
 FOR CALERA DEPOT Will Elect New Officers At
 Meeting Saturday Afternoon

Special meeting of Birmingham Council No. 172, United Commercial Travellers of America, will be held Sat urday evening at Fraternal hall for the constellation of officers for the coming year. A short business session also will take place.
 Hearty indorsement of a movement to have adequate train sheds erected at Calera for passengers alighting at that station has been given by the local travellers organization.
 Contending that present facilities are wholly inadequate, and passing their re- quest on the fact that Calcra is an important junction point, where large numbers of passengers are forced to wait over for trains, the organization has drafted a letter to the state public srevice commission. The letter asks that steps be taken to provide proper accommodations, and copies of it have been mailed to the Chambers of Com merce at Anniston, Talladega. Syla- cauga and Calera, and to Dr. Palmer, president of the Montevallo school for girls.

COMEDY STAR OF THE SCREEN TELLS
 SOME REAL FACTS
"!An the worlds q stage and all the men and women are players"
 Shakespeare.

All of us know that tine audiences on the street and in the home are no less exacting than those of the theatre. The woman, whose skin is flabby and wrinkled, cannot successfully play the desirable part of youth; neither can the girl whose complexion is pimply, blotchy or muddy" looking, win popu- larity or success.
 The one thing, more than any other, which accounts for the freshness and charm of the complexion of stage folk, is the regular use of cleansing cream, which is part of the daily routine win every one on the stage. All stage people are obliged to use 1t, in order to re move makeup from every little crease and the pores.
 T had no idea that so many of the girls are using the Cleansing Cream, as well as the Peroxide Cream, Face Pow der and other toilet necessities which are known as the Black and White Beauty Creations" says Miss Alberta Vaughn, prominent and popular Mack Bennett Comedy star.
 After began to ask some questions I soon learned why. They are so eX- guisitely fine, and the cost is so much less, no one need deny themselves the satisfaction of having q pleasing com plexion."

John Edwards, negro, 1712 Fifteenth street, north, an alleged pickpocket, may be fast on his feet, but he lacks direc- tiOn.
 Edwards was rapidly putting distance between himself and his pursuer, Will Ellis, from whom it was said he had stolen a watch at Fourth avenue and Eighteenth street Friday afternoon, when he ran head-on into H. F.. Badger and J. II. Ball, deputy sheriffs.
 The deputies held Edwards until Ellis, puffing from his sprint, arrived to claim his property, then took the ne- gro to the county jail.

public sometimes regards a fighter. He has employed his lawyer to make pub lie statements for him, and his press agent to prepare the statements for his lawyer. In these statements, he not only defends himself, the oil leases, and the republican administration, but he proceeds viciously against the dem- ocrats, the Investigating committee, and Senator Walsh, the chief inspiration of that committee.
 Doheny is regarded by some observers as more culpable than any other figure brought into the oil investigation scan- dal. And yet he is the most defiant. He is no braver, in personal sense, than Fall or Daugherty. And if the truth is known, he is no more of d fighter.
 He is harder. His hide is thicker His sensibilities, possibly, are dead. And like some other very rich men he de- spises those he thinks members of the rabble. His money gives him perhaps false sense of security. He feels him self all-powerful, and is deceived into believing that he knows, far better than the people, what is best for the people.
 Doheny holds it strange that the public, Knowing that he has many mil lions, would think that he would take crooked path for the acquisition of additional millions.
 The public, however, is aware, it ap- pears, that Doheny discriminates be- tween the possession of money and the acquisition of money, With very rich men the latter is more than a diver sion, a sport. It is passion.

REFUSE FRENCH NAME
TO GERMAN BABY
Little Town in Wurttemberg Split
by Dispute Over Regis
trar's "Whim."

By tile Associated Press.
LUDWIGSBURG, Wurttemberg'
February 9.-This little town, whlch
in it's palmy days was the seat OF the
old kingdom Of Wurttemberg, has
been split in. two by a dispute among
the residents and officials over the
question of "a baby's name. so 1ar as
Ludwigsburg officially Is concerned
there is q little girl baby here VINO
has no first name at all because her
parents insisted upon registering ner
as Margot, This name the town reg
tstrar refused point blank TO accept
on the ground that 1t was OF french
origin and unacceptable to MIN. on
that account.
The mother and father have refused
to change the baby's name merely 70
suit a whim of the registrar, and all
their friends have rallied to support
them in what has been referred to as
Ludwigsburg's warmest town row In
several generations. The parents con-
tend that residents of the free town
of Ludwigsburg may name babies as
they see fit, and that such q personal
matter Is none of the business of the
city fathers or any Of their clerks
who apparently don't know the war
is over"
On the other hand, the registrar has
been upheld in his stand by the bur-
Romaster and the majority of the
town deputies and their political
followers.
