Want to Make Birmingham Leading City for Auto
 mobile Industry
HANDSOME DISPLAYS
 WILL BE MADE HERE
Downtown SaIesrooms Will Be Kept Open at Night and Cars Will Be Shown at Fair Grounds
 During the Day
By CLYDE W. ENNIS

The most engaging event or the week to automobile companies and to the gem eral automobile public is the automobile show which will be held here this week in connection with the aviation meet under the patronage of the. Business Men s reague All local automobile men have made extensive preparations for the meet which is expected not only to result iu stimulating local pride and interest in the work, but which will have as a finale the sale of numerous cars to visitors The show will be held at the State Fair grounds during the day hours, where att traotve booths have been arranged by practically all of the automobile agen- cies showing brand new cars, with all the gingerbread" features which go to make a good impression upon the prospective buyers.
 The automobile managers have decora- tions at the booths and in every case brand new cars. These will be in charge of expect machinists, who will describe the operations and good points of the va- rious cars to the host of visitors that are expected to make Birmingham a mecca this week.
 It Is stated that the most important feature of the automobile show so far as the local men are concerned is getting Mississippi and Alabama citizens inter- ested in Birmingham as a trading center for all first class cars. It is held here by the automobile agents that Atlanta has been making energetic strides toward formulating the opinion that the only place in the south for the purchase of automobiles is that city The result of that has been in the past for prominent buyers to make for Atlanta when agents are not located in their respective cities and buy from that place.
 At this time Birmingham has on hand every well known automobile from the Hup to the Packard, and deliveries are to be had here quicker and better than in any other city so situated in the south. That fact, as well as other arguments, will be used to get the prospective buy CTS to come to Birmingham rather than Atlanta in the future. It is said work of pioneer nature has been done along this line, and will be added to this week
 In that event it is expected that rich reward will be reaped by local agents. In connection with the show everyone engaged in the automobile trade believes that this week will see the greatest num- Der of buyers here that has ever come to Birmingham. Extra forces have been added to the regular sales agencies to take care of the expected throngs and other propositions worked out to get the buyers here to trade. Every confidence is held in the fact that Birmingham will sell vast/ number. of automobiles this week as a result of the show and the ef forts that have been put forth to get the crowds to this city

ing his sides at us A Russian who had lived much among the Chinese and acquired some knowledge of their Ian guage gave point to this reflection by an anecdote from his own experience.
 T was walking through a country district in China with two Englishmen," he said and for some hours I had listened to their polite patronage of the natives. group of peasants came soemnly down the road
 " You know, they really are jolly queer looking lot said one Englishman, and the other one reflected that it was no wonder little boys in other lands booted at the sight of one-not, of course, that they might not be in their way very good sort.
 The approaching group suddenly broke into song, one man singing a line and the rest joining in after solemn pause of half a minute. They stood aside deferentially as we passed, and then I gathered the purport of their dirge. The soloist was singing lines like this:
 Oh, look at the foreigners coming
 down the road
 And the chorus, after the paIse that gave solemnity to the chant, would in tone;
 "'Oh, aren't they funny?
 Then there would come from the soloist:
 Look at their hideous long noses.'
 And the chorus:
 "'Oh, aren't they funny?'
 "T suppose, said one of the English men. that they're singing a hymn of some sort It sounds like it.
 "TWell, I'm glad we aren't made like that observed the other, while from down the road l caught:
 Did you see their extraordinary big
 feet?
 FAnd the answering chorus: "'Oh, aren't they funny?

CHINESE MARKET FOR CLOTHES
Expansion Caused by Abandonment of
 Native Dress for European Styles

From Consul John Fowler, Chefoo.
 The present political situation has brought about a radical change in all phases of life in China, not the least being that of dress. Native streets hith- erto crowded with blue gowned pedes- trians are rapidly assuming the ap- pearance of a European city. High and low, the Chinese are discarding the gown of silk or cotton for the for eign" style of clothing. If only one tenth of one per cent of the empire s population cast aside the old for the new fashion, there is presented a mar ket for at least 100000 suits of cloth ing, pairs of shoes, collars, shirts, socks, ties, hats. etc. Already the fac tories in Japan are running overtime to supply the demand for caps, the use of which Is an outcome of the queue cutting. The caps in vogue are small visor, brown shoddy or cloth. The sizes would run about the same as those for American youths 16 to 20 years of age. Local tailors are work ing extra hours here turning out cheap suits from low grade cloths. Silk mer- chants in alarm are trying to stem the tide, but without success. Japan so far has the market.

II is expected that Birmingham will be mecca for automobile sales managers and inspectors during the automobile show this week. Indications point unerringly to the fact that great many will be here from Atlanta, Nashville, Detroit, Richmond, New York and elsewhere to get q line upon the success of the show in Birmingham It is believed that the show will gain such success during this week as to encourage the automobile men to put on a show exclusive of any addi- tional attractions.

Attorney Whitman admitted that
the Rockefellers are backing man
operating a pretended disorderly
house in the heart of the white
light district TO get evidence for the

evidence will be used at Beckers

Rockefeller has proved that an
ordinarily disorderly house pays

elaborate houses pay more and the
smaller houses far less. Whitman
declared that white shaving is a
regular trade in the country. and

FRUIT DEALERS

CHARGE CONSPIRACY IN ORDER
TO SHUT OUT FRUIT FROM
EUROPEAN PORTS

WASHINGTON, August S,-Con-
gressman Harrison of New York in
discussing the conference report of
the agriculture appropriation bill in
the house today, charged the Cali
tornia' fruit dealers with having con-
spired with other interests to shut
out the fruit importations at At
lantie reports
he report eliminated the provi-
sion limiting a quarantine against
the Mediterranean fly pest so it
would apply only to the Atlantic
coast
As passed the house bill specif-
ieally exempted the Atlantic coast.
Harrison said the effect of the con-
ference change would be to heighten
the tariff wall to the benefit of
the California fruit interests. Kent
of California and Moore of Pennsyl-
yania denied the amendment would
have this effect Despite Harrison,
the conference bill was reported
unchanged The whole bill now
goes to the president.
