'SAKS TELLS AID ! CLUB BUSINESS
 BUREAU NEEDED
Urges Movement To Start Birmingham Vigilance
 Organization Soon

A better business bureau for Bir- mingham was strongly advocated be- fore the Birmingham Advertising club Monday by Joe Saks of Saks Clothing company. Mir. Saks was speaker at the weekly luncheon of the Advertising club, held at the Tutwiler hotel.
 While the program topic chosen for the day was direct-by-mail advertising, MT. Saks took accession to depart from that theme in advancing the cause of the proposed better business bureau, which has been discussed by the Ad- vertising club for some time. The func- tion of organization of this type, as fostered by the national association of advertising clubs, is to put an end to fraudulent advertising by exercising constant vigilance.
 The recent conviction of fraudulent oil stock operators in the southwest was due directly to the services of one of the better business bureaus established in connection with the association of advertising clubs, and the record of similar accomplishments by the vigi- lance bureaus is long one.
 The various phases of direct-by-mail advertising were discussed before the club Monday by representatives of Bir- mingham printing houses, letter serv- ice bureaus, engravers and artists.
 The program was as follows: Print. ing, Types and Paper" John c. Hen. ley, Birmingham Publishing company Printing, Use of Color" George N Alsop, \ Alsop Printing company Printing, What Is a Fair Price 9 Robert Trechsel, Alabama Printing company, Letters, Visualizing the Prospect" H. D. Cullen, Direct Ad- vertising service; Illustrations, What Not To Use," Paul Pim, Commercial Art; Printing Plates, Getting the Effect" W. D. Saunders, Alabama En- graving company.

People Judge You By Appearances
'Your beauty berefts me of all words, Only my blood speaks to you in my.

Merchant of Venice.

Merchant Of Venice.
 Whether in school, among your chums, in the social set, or even in the business world, it is always the ones who are pleasant in the sight of others that have the most friends and get the most attention. Haven't you noticed it? Maybe that very thing is holding you back.
 It is so easy for any boy or girl to make themselves attractive, even with out fine features. A clear skin never fails to draw admiring gazes and un- less you can command them, you have little chance of impressing anyone with that winning way you have.
 All you need to do is to clear your skin each night by rubbing thin film of the Cleansing Cream, which bears the well-known Black and White label into the pores so 1t can work out all the accumulation and make them &C., tive so they can radiate the glow of the skin pigment, and thereby make your face your fortune.
 After your first experience with Black and White Cleansing Cream. you will never let single night go by without first using it. It is not "heayy" and does not overload the skin with oils and leaves the skin smooth and lovely instead of greasy. Most all dealers have it in liberal sizes at 25c and 50c.

DICKSON WILL ASK
 BONDS POSTPONED
To Request Commission That School And Library Issue
 Be Deferred Now

l When the city commission meets Tuesday to consider the petition of the library board for q joint school and library bond issue, Commissioner W. E. Dickson will move to defer action until the several committees now preparing school bond recommendations have sub- mitted their reports.
 Mir. Dickson made known his inten- tion after he had been visited by a library delegation headed by J. w. Donnelly. president of the library board. They had urged his support of the proposed joint issue.
 "Tlie library advocates have a strong case" said Mir. Dickson, but I be- lieve it would be best to defer action on their petition until after the school bond committees have reported"
 Other members of the commission indicated they would not oppose a mo- tion to defer action, and it was, there- fore, accepted as practical certainty that the library petition would be laid over for something like two weeks.
 President Donnelly and his associates on the library board are confident they will be successful in their effort to ahve the school and library issues sub- mitted to the voters at the same time. They have been assured of the support of D. E. McLendon, commission presi- dent. and they are hopeful that Com missioners Mary Echols, W. B. Cloe | and W. B. Dickson will support their request. Commissioner W. L. Harrison fayors the submission of school bonds only at this time. Later, he says, he will support a library bond issue.

WALTER MOORE RETURNS Finds Underwood Gaining Strength
 Rapidly i'm East,

'Underwoods strength 7 is literally growing by leaps and bounds" said Walter Moore, national democratic committeeman from Alabama, on his return Monday from business trip to the east. A'
 sThe woes of the republican party have multiplied prodigiously during the last few sensation-crowded weeks. and it is being pretty generally conceded in high places that the republicans cannot win the election. Speculation is running high, accordingly, as to who will be the democratic nominee, and honestly know of no man who stands anything like the chance that Oscar Underwood stands to be nominated-and elected. The solid south will be for Underwood, and the south won't be the only sec tion that is solid for him. He is as strong in the east today as he is in the south, an dreports from all over the country tell of his growing popularity." !"

YOUNG ORATORS CAN MAINTAIN
 STATES H0NORS
Opportunity Presented To Be Greatest In The
 United States

The National Oratorical Contest, which The Age-Herald is sponsoring in Alabama, offers a golden opportunity to high school students of Alabama to win national recognition for them selves, and receive a college education and cash prizes free.
 Never, in the history of the United States, and of public education, has there been such tremendous offering made through the press. Also, no move ment of like magnitude has ever been set in motion to raise the standard of American citizenship, as is undertaken in this great endeavor. The National Oratorical Contest will create knowl- , edge of, increased interest in,; and re- spect for the constitution that will sur pass any patriotic movement that has ever been attempted anywhere.
 With the number of newspapers sponsoring this contest exceeding 250, and each newspaper being recognized leader in its respecttSes territory, this contest among the htghs schools of the United States is w4kening more in- terest, and more intenliye study of that great document, the constitution, laid sible endeavor that might be attempted.
 
 sheyism, making gradual inroads on American citizenship, n thorough fun damental understanding of the basic principles of our great government is positively essential, not only among the coming generations, but also among the present generation.
 Zenith Of Honor
 The zenith of honor that it is possible to award to high school student in the United States will be attained by the student who wins the first prize in the grand final meet in Washington, June 6. The seven contestants from the seven major zones of the United States will, on this date, deliver their oration on the constitution before the Presi- dent of the greatest government in the world, personages of national and inter- national repute, and will be judged by the highest tribunal the government af- lords, the supreme court bench. Can fathers and mothers, rschool boards and principals, visualize this great honor? The Age-Herald feels that the champion orator of the high schools of the United States is in Alabama. Some of tile greatest orators the world has ever known were southerners, and Alabama ranks high in production. The south constitutes one of the seven major zones in the United States, and it rests upon the students of this state to maintain and jealously guard, the rec ord of southern oratory. The Age Herald does not believe that the pres- ent students of Alabama high schools, the parents of these students, nor the governors of the schools that they at- tend, will allow the traditions handed down to pass on into other hands.

Dental science has discovered two film eombatants. One disin. tegrates the film at all stages of formation. One removes it witl- out harmful securing.
 Many tests which have been made prove these methods effec. tive. A new-type tooth paste has been created to apply them daily. The name is Pepsodent.
 Leading dentists everywhere be. gan to advise it. Today, all the world over. Pepsodent is supplant- ing the tooth pastes of the past. The results are conspicuous
 Pepsodent does other things that old methods never do. It multi- plies the alkalinity of the saliva, which is there to neutralize mouth acids. It multipies the starch di- gestant in saliva, which is there to digest starch deposits on teeth.
 These combined effects bring remarkable results:

In every circle nowadays you see countless teeth which glisten- teeth which once were dim. They give multiplied attraction, both to men and women.
 They indicate clearly that a change has come in methods of teeth cleaning. Millions are daily fighting film. Let this test show you what it means to you and yours.
 No pretty teeth with
 dingy film
 Your teeth are coated with a film -t that viscous film you feel. Despite your brushing, much of it clings and stays.
 Soon that film discolors, forming dingy coats. That is how teeth lose their beauty.
 Film also holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay. Germs breed by millions in it. They, with tar tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea. That is why so few escape tooth

MAYOR WANTS PERMANENT
 REPAIRS AT R, R. CROSSINGS
If Legal He Will Have Work Done and Send Bill To "New
 Haven" Road

Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa sent letter today to the public utilities commis. sion asking information as to the re- pair of railroad crossovers on city streets and inquiring as to the pro. priety of repairs by city forces charg- ed to the "New Haven" road.
 There are seven streets in this city which are crossed by railroad trains and in almost every instance there are complaints each week against the conditions of the highway between the rails. This is particularly true of Main and Elm streets. The "New Haven road occasionally makes re- pairs by filling in with amesite, but the mayor believes something in the nature of permanent pavement should be placed at each crossover.
 If the P. U. c. advises the mayor that work done at these points may be billed to the railroad, he will instruct the board of public works to proceed with repairs.
