What They Forget

From the New York Press.
 One would not think that such thing as radium, more precious than gold, more valuable than anything else known to the world, would be lost and forgotten in street car in New York city. Yet a lead flask containing a minute quantity of radium was found in a subway car recently and turned in at the lost prop erty room. Neither would one suppose that man would forget a couple of sticks of dynamite, but somebody left just that much of the explosive on a seat in an elevated car Still more men are SD far forgetful they even have walked off and left live rattlesnakes alone and friendless in the surface cars, to the con sternation and terror of the employees when they discovered them on opening the basket.
 One man left an artificial leg on a sub way train recently How he ever man. aged to get away without attracting the attention of the employees is a mystery. It took him two days to remember where he left it and to call and identify his prop erty. Artificial arms have been over looked many times.

The automobile exposition in connection with the aviation meet at the State Fair grounds has been open three days. It has proven to be the most successful affair ever held in Birmingham of a similar na- tUre. It has brought rich returns to the automobile dealers, merchants and avia- tion promoters. On that account there is a tremendous and unanimous sentiment among automobile men of Birmingham that the exposition be held annually in this city. With less than 15 exhibits, " ith less than say 50 ears represented, the en- tire selling forces of dealers in Blrming- ham have been utterly routed by the wave of buyers and those interested in cars. The people flocl1ed to the exposition dur ing the two good days. and the garages and salesrooms located up town were crowded to the doors with visitors Ev- eryone of them meant money and every one talked business from the jump.
 The automobile dealers in Birmingham have leen drifting along here for several years handling such business as happened by and doing all that was possible in a local way to get trade. However, the suggestion of asshow came with the avia- tion meet and behold it has taken the automobile men off their feet
 During the past few days the dealers say In one voice that the like of automo- bile buying has never before been known in this community. Hubert Drennen of Cadillac fame, L. A. Whitehead of the Highland garage, Judge Dan Greene ct the E M F, E. W. Brownell, Elliott Knight of the Hup and Lozier-in fact. every local dealer says without any les itaiion that the automobile show has opened their eyes as to what may be ac- compllshed by such an affair.
 Show Next Year
 The sentiment cannot be discounted tha4 Birmingham is destined to have an au- tomebile show next year that Will sur IL pass all efforts in the south. It is stated that so very satisfactory will be reports 10 factories whose representatives; came here in doubtful frame of mini that extensive exhibits will be arranged f,r and made at the next automobile sho " to be held in this city.
 The visiting automobile men are unani- nous in saying that Birmingham has shown power for such proposition that IS unriyalled in this section of the country. IL was an amazing revelation u' me local men as well as to the visitors that such scores of men came here and

Wasp, the Famous Marmon Car Which Made Worlds Record Indianapolis Will Exhibition at the Fair Grounds This Week

purchased automobiles and expressed sur prise that the local raarket afforded such an extensive array of automobiles. These were the buyers who went to Atlanta and elsewhere to buy automobiles and never gave Birmingham one thought in refer cree to such a purchase.
 The suggestion about an automobile show for Birmingham, after it has been shown what will be done here, is as follows:
 (a) Have the show in Birmingham not at the fair grounds.
 tb) Arrange large auditorium for the display of cars.
 tc) Induce every maker of automo- piles to show here.
 (d) Arrange the show tastily and not in a barn.
 These suggestions are from some of the leading men in the city who sec a chance, if it is grasped, for Birming- ham automobile dealers 10 get behind a proposition that means prestige for Birmingham, and realize money for the sh howers. It Is stated that the Auto mobile Dealers association of this city, of which Judge Dan Greene is presi- dent will take charge of the proposal for an annual exhibit and will push 1t to finish before many months have passed. It is said that the association will move as unit in the work and that no personal trines will be per mitted to sway the dealers as a whole from arranging a show for Birming- ham which will typify the best and lat est in automobile lines.
 Drennen Talks
 Hubert Drennen, in indorsing the movement, said yesterday:
 The show that has only run three days at the fair grounds, the other days being spoiled by rains has opened my eyes to what may be accomplished here in the way of an automobile show. The meet this week has proven one thing, and that is that Birmingham au- tomobile dealers are together and that they can accomplish the maximum re- suits with show by staying this way. The local show, while limited to a de- gree, has completely swamped the ioca' dealers, l am told. As for our company we have almost been submerged in bus mess by the great number or prospec- live buyers coming here and placing orders and leaving their. names TOT lu- ture negotiations.
 'I hope that the dealers association will have an annual show One that Is held in Birmingham one that every maker will enter and one that can pc arranged in such way that man may wear his Sunday clothes to IL without ruining them The Birmlng- ham show can be made known all over this country. As 1t is we put lte all over Atlanta with the very limited show which is being held' 1 L. A. Whitehead of the Hishlaho

An Arctic Breakfast Food

From the Dawson Correspondent New

 Mining engineers and prospectors along the Peel and Mackenzie rivers. on the Arctic Ocean slope, have discovered a new breakfast food in the Arctic moss abundant there. Thousands of square miles of moss await either consumption by settlers and their pack animals or conservation for future generations by Canadian Pinchots.

The miners then tried it and subsisted chiefly last summer and autumn on the moss The moss hereafter will be the chief arti-. cle of diet on the Arctic slope. Other prospectors learned of the new food with joy and began using it.
 Mir. East has named the new food Moss olyte. If conservationists do not prevent it, it is intended to produce reindeer along the Arctic slope to help consume the great moss supply.

Save AS Per Cent

g per cent of all old-type tires become rim-cut. This is shown by statistics.
 No-Rim-Cut tires wipe out that loss completely.
 Then we make these tires 10 per cent over the rated size. And that oversize, under aver age conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire. mileage.
 You get both these savings in No-Rim-Cut tires. Yet they now cost no more than other standard tires, Don't you think such saving worth while?

Vulcanized into the base of this tire are six fiat bands of l26 braided wires.
 These wires-by making the tire base unstretchable-give us a tire that need not hook to the rim.
 So your removable hanges may be reversed = curved out ward instead of inward. It is done in a moment. Then the rounded side comes next to the tire.

Sixth Season for Lozier Six


 For five years Lozer has been building high powered six-cylinder cars-the most successful ssSixes" ever built. The Lozier six has won more 24-hour races than any other car. Itholds and has held for three years, the worlds 24-hour stock car record.
 The remarkable power, the persistent endur- ance, the brilliant speed of the Lozier written into the history of the great racing classics of America-Vanderbilt cup, International Grand Prize, Elgin National Championship, Fairmount Park, Santa Monica, Indianapolis and Atlanta Speedways, and the famous Brighton Beach 24-hour races.
 Unparalleled performances in these great con- tests, publicly conducted under official sanction and observation, mark the Lozier as the Champion Motor Car of the World" None of these achievements of the Lozier is founded upon private trials or mere assertions s-all were won before hundreds of thousands of Americas motoring enthusiasts-all are officially recorded.

Cadillac Sales Heavy

That the Cadillac agency had been completely swamped during the week and that IT trades had been closed up for Cadillac machines. was a statement of Hubert A. Drennen of the Cadillac company yesterday.
 Mir. Drennen said that business dur ing the week had been the most won derful exposition of what a show did That he had ever ina agined, and that he was for a show every year hereafter. "The prospects visiting Birmingham were in flocks," said he yesterday. "The sales we made number 17 to Sat = urday noon. The fact cannot be dis puted that during the show week ev- cry automobile dealer here has been
 wonderfully benefited. I hope that next year we will have bigger. better show up town where visitors and the best people in the state may come and see what Birmingham has to offer in The automobile line. The show has demonstrated that Birmingham is the logical place for automobile buyers. The automobile dealers association. I am sure. will agree with the opinion expressed that we must simply have smother big show."

1913 LOzier the Greatest

Splendid as have been the Loziers of the past, the 1913, Six-C Cylinder, Type presents distinct and marked advance. It is the greatest motor car ever built by the House of Lozier-and "Men Who Know" will tell you that means the greatest motor car ever built.
 No other car offers such remarkable com- bination of desirable features-features which will not be found combined in any other motor car for several years to come.

 automobile show and aviation meet had attracted widespread attention and his
 visit here had been pleasant as well as profitable.
 Birmingham is a wonderful city, said MT. Weigl, and I am very glad that l had the opportunity of visit ing here. The automobile show has been a wonderful affair and 1 am glad hat it has. l sincerely hope that one will be held every year by the local automobilists."

Over million of these tires have been used on some 100000 cars.
 As result, the demand today is six times larger than two years ago.
 As another result, No-Rim-Cut tires now far out sell any other tire
 For all these users are advising others to adopt this patent tire.

 Lozier Automatic-Level Oiling System is one of the greatest achievements of the Lozier engineers in recent years. High oil level at high speeds-low oil level at low speeds-a smokeless exhaust at all speeds. Valves free from carbon. Perfect fabrication and marvellous efficiency 300 to 400 miles to the gallon.
 Triple Ignition is another forward step in design-learned from our racing experience The 1913 Lozier is fitted with Bosch Double Magneto which gives, when desired, two sparks. simultaneously in each cylinder, providing a remarkable increase in power. This magneto, with the battery, provides three distinct sources ofignition.
 Six-Cylinder Motor of new design-the most powerful ever put in Lozier car. Vibra- tionless at highest speeds, noiseless in action. With cylinders 45sH 5HH-A. L. A. M rating 51 H. P.-this motor actually develops more than 80 brake horse power
