Blanton, Once Opposed to Accept
ance, Declares Personal Study
Has Changed View.

The earliest possible action by the
House in accepting the tract of land
offered by Charles C. Glover for park
purposes was urged at a meeting
of a subcommittee of the House Dis
trict committee today by Represent
ative Thomas L. Blanton, Democrat,
Texas.
Representative Blanton admitted
that he had previously opposed this
gift of Mr.. Glover as move to in
crease land values in that locality.
Since then, however, he has made
personal investigation and finds
that the tract is very valuable
addition to the city park system.
He told the subcommittee that MCS.
Archibald Hopkins has agreed to
give additional parcel of land ex-
tending from the Glover tract to the
river.
Representative Blanton urged that
Immediate action should be taken by
the House on this matter. He offered
motion that the members of the
District committee should wait eN
Speaker Gillett and ask that the bill
be referred from the committee on
public buildings and grounds to the
House District committee, in time
for action at the meeting next We'd
nesday. Representative Rathone of
llnols and Representative Blanton were
instructed to confer with the speaker.

ENGINEER SUPPORTS
FORD SHOALS OFFER
Wants Plant Used Primarily for
Fertilizer and Not Power
Production.

Arguments favoring acceptance of
Henry Fords bid for Muscle Shoals
were resumed by w. G. Waldo, en-
gineer employed by the Tennessee
River Improvement Association, at
today's hearing before the Senate

poses in the southeast and declared
that Muscle Shoals represented only
a small part of the power resources
of the southeastern section and
should not be compared with the
great power available at Niagara
Falls
Reiterating his contention that
Muscle Shoals be used primarily for
fertilizer manufacture and not power
distribution. he told the committee
a decision must first be reached as
to which of the two uses the prop
erty should be put
Under the Ford offer the power at
Muscle Shoals will be employed pri-
marily in the public interest and
primarily under public control" the

AVOID HEAVY CREAMS.
 TO KEEP SKIN CLEAR
"s if all those endearing young charms, That I gaze on today with delight, Should fade with the morrow and pass away
 -Mnopa

Moore

The practice of using heavy cold creams to clean the pores of powder and dust has been the cause of so much dissatisfaction to girls in trying to clean their skin, because they leave it so oily, as they overload it with the heavy oils from which they are made.
 To overcome this objection, yet to make sure that every particle of pow der and dust is worked out of the pores and tiny glands to keep the skin looking clear and always smooth and lovely, cleansing cream bearing the wellknown Black and White trade mark has been introduced here, and judging from the many pleased expres- sions being heard from the many girls and women who are using it, there is no doubt about the satisfaction it is giving.
 Use Black and White Cleansing Cream at night. Then in the morning be sure to wash with Black and White Soap to keep from robbing the skin of the benefits it gets from the oils which Black and White Cleansing Cream leaves in it; then you won't be bothered by your face being too oily, and it will be soft, smooth and lovely. All dealers have it in liberal sizes.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. April r. While campaigns have been lapnched in some states to remove unsightlyBill boards from along public highways, Alabama is apparently only at the be- ginning of the work of adorning the state highways with billboards. Evi- dence of this was brought out before the meeting of the state highway com mission Monday afternoon, when Gray Henderson, Elmore county land owner, appeared before the highway body to voice objection~to having his property '.defaced" with billboards, which he de- clared, are as large as the end of the room the commission was sitting in. Mir. Henderson declared that he had never allowed such advertising rights on his private property, and objected to the billboards on the right of way through his land.
 NJ. S. Whitfield, Montgomery busi- ness man representing the Highways Advertising company of Birmingham, which has a contract for erecting ad- vertising on stat ehighways, appeared to represent his interests. ~
 The Sheory that there are differences of opinion as to what constituted beauty was strengthened by Mir. Whit field. who referred to the advantages ugly, bluffs" 6 quote his exact words. The road in question passes through what has been pronounced by many one of the most beautiful highways in the state from Montgomery to We tumpka. traversing the Elmore county hills, the scenery forming a striking contrast to that of the black belt lands in Montgomery county.
 -.
 Mir. Henderson told the highway body that regardless of what others may like or dislike, he prefers the scen- cry on his property to be unmarred with billboards. Members of the con- mission agreed to take trip to inspect the property involved. Mir. Tender sons attitude on the matter is ex. pected to evoke commendation of these property owners and tourists who ore. fer to view the natural landscape along the states highway system, instead of being continually confronted with bill. board exhorting them to chew Or smoke this or that kind of. tobacco, making prescriptions for the various forms of illness, etc.
