AUTOMOBILE GOSSIP
BY JACK BETHEA

The police department of Birming- ham needs an automobile and a com potent chauffeur to be used in making emergency calls for the department and to be used by Chief Bodeker in look ing after the precincts of the city.
 It Is understood that the needs of the department of a machine to be used exclusively for this purpose will be presented to the commissioner having charge of the police department and if possible the purchase of one be made.
 When the enormous size of the city of Birmingham Is considered the need for an automobile, and good one, is easily seen. The city covers 42 square miles. It is impossible for the patrolment to cover all this territory and should some big calamity happen 1t would be practically impossible to concentrate the police of the city in short time. In other words. the city is dependent upon a local concern for ability to get to any place in a hurry. ( This naturally brings up the ques ! aion of expense. It would be surpris-. ing to the average person what the taxicab bill of the police department t Is easily seen. The city covers A amazing. Within a short time an au- tomobile would pay for Itself in bills saved. :;
 The police departments of the large cities all have emergency automobiles and have found them satisfactory. The department of police of Detroit, Mich, uses a Chalmers '.30'' and 1t has done . good work A publication of that city in commenting on the use of the auto- mobile has the following to say: "The automobile in use by the police de- partment has proved very satisfactory and the officers are wondering how they got along before it was bought. The machine is used in making emer- gency calls and has captured several hundred criminals that would have es- capped had not the automobile been ready for instant use. It Is estimated that the machine has run 5000 miles.
 Some DOn's for AutomObilists
 "The Automobile" has published some very witty and very pertinent injunc- tions to automobilists. There Is good deal of philisophy in them and they ere reproduced in part below.
 Don't peel off your coat and crank for an hour to no effect, and then look in the gasoline tank only to see the pol ished bottom of the tank glistening for want of liquid.
 Don't expect the earth out of an au- tomobile; supply some of the intelligence yourself. P $
 Don't put on airs to your neighbors: they do not have to foot the score; that's where you jump off.
 Don't raise the dust in the road par tces from your tires will be a part of that dust.
 Don't take curves like mad Mullah; there may not be vacancy in Heaven just at the right time.
 Don't be rough to a locomotive; bring ' your car to stop; make low bow, and if the "big fellow refuses to notice you, why let him pass. z
 Don't take your lady for spin and show off by speeding; she knows that you are 'the thing" or she wouldn't be on hand.
 Don't stop at ''coaling stations along the roadway; if you must indulge in intoxicants, why don't you wait until the car is safe in the s"roundhouse." q Don't feed your chauffeur on beer and

Down to Mother Earth

'There is an Antaeus in every one of us and in the whole of us which needs the earth" says Henry Demarest Lloyd in his posthumous book. "A grandmo1ier was spreading before the vision of be- loved child a picture of the. beauties or heaven with it's gates of pearl aud Its payements of gold. What said the 'scornful boy. uncartivated, no mud!
 There spoke the real philosopher. We are eartb animals, and we need contact with all the aspects of nature, human nature and other nature. They who feed wholly of white bread and the tenderloin and the sweetness and light of the best people, art sor arts sake, cannot get phosphates enough and soon develop the rickets. The man heard say he liked to eat with the common people once in awhile, the wom- an you heard say that she thought twas her duty to associate with the middle class. confess the approach of extinction. They are losing touch with the source or all personal and social power ....

From Lppincotts Magazine.
 A Philadelphia woman who is fond of animals was waiting at city rail- way station for q belated train.
 In the seat next to her sat a small dog, which evidently belonged to an elaborately dressed woman just beyond.

Wall street is watching with undis- gusted interest every Washington move ment these days. It has not yet become fully reconciled to the idea of an extra session of Congress, but will be in state of mind to stand for the infliction If there is no escape from 1t. It has taken only mild interest in the reciprocity contest and does not as yet fully realize the danger incident to the tariff agita- tion which will be an inevitable feature of a special session.

Elephant Donkey Hike To White House
n burned.

Uncle Joe Cannon and Fred Thomp-
the Coney Island Snowman, recently hit
on the novel notion of an elephant dom
key race, from Luna Park, on the is
land, to the White House, Washington,
which started last Friday night. The ele-
plant, Judy, represents the G. o. p,
and her rival, Jenny H." the Unterri-
fed Democracy. Each wears a drapery
inscribed "1912-To White House or
Bust. The Abernathy kids, Louis on
Judy, and Temple on Jenny II, hold the
ribbons, while their father, Eat EN-
Alive Jack" the famed Oklahoma Mar
shall, leads the way in an automobile.
Two attendants are with Judy, and a
white and red lantern dangle on either
side of her, on the road at night, TO
avert collisions: They reached Perth
Amboy on Sunday and New Brunswick
on Monday night, with Jenny in the lead
but Judy forged. ahead at Princeton on
Tuesday. They will push on to Wash
ington via Philadelphia, Wilmington and

THEMSELVES BEING JUDGES

may do very well as a political
trimmer and ofhce-holder, but he
is flat failure when it comes to
conducting an argument. In the
judgment Of men of reason (for
the Judgment of othess we care
nothing) the Democrat of last
week in attempting to answer our
criticism of the county levy, sim
ply endorsed and emphasized our
contention. With almost childish
Inconsistencies the Democrat
strengthens Our criticism by quot
ing the fact that the first levy of
the last Republican adnrinistra-
ton, that of 1904, jumped the tax
rate to $I.oo. Now, note, please,
that the Republicans had only

TIME TO GET INTERESTED

THE joint primaries are only about six
weeks away. At those primaries must
be made all the nominations of both
parties for the various county Offices to
be hlled this fall. 1t would seem as il
the people should be interesting them
selves as to who will be Indicates TO,
these various positions. We believe this
Whole primary law is cumbersome null
sance; but it is the law Unless canui-
dates announce themselves and enter the
primaries the people cannot nominate
them. Neither ought the people to be
required to make nominations from any
set of men that may come along. Many
OF the offices to be filled this year are
highly important ones anG it would be-
gratifying to see the best type of men
on both sides announcing themselves as
candidates.
