LEES OERTIF1OA TIE SENT TO THE
SENATE

The certificate of election of Blair Lee,
of Maryland, as United States Senator
was presented to the Senate last Friday
by Vice-President Marshall. 1t had been
received from Gov. Goldsborough.
Without discussion, the certificate was
referred to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, of which Senator Kern, of
Indiana. is chairman. No date has been
fixed by Senator Kern for meeting of the
committee.
According to Senator Lees statement of
prediction expenses, filed along with the
certificate Of election, more than half of
the money expended was paid to the United
States Government in the form of postage
for mailing campaign literature. His total
expenses, according to this statement,
amounted to $7072.96, of which $3632, OF
was for postage.
The declaration of the State Board of
Canvassers on the vote cast in the election
was also filed with the certificate, which
was signed by Governor Goldsborough and
the Secretary of State of Maryland.
1t is understood that the question of
when Senator Lee will take his seat will
not come up for discussion in committee
until after the Christmas holidays, by which
time the Administration currency bill is
expected to be out Of the way. The Demo-
Gratis have been DESTROYS of avoiding fight
on the seating of Senator Lee before the
currency legislation is disposed of.
The committee, in deciding Senator Lees
claim to his seat, will have to determine
whether, in the absence of legal machinery
for the direct election of Senators, State
authorities may make use Of the regular
election processes.
Senator Lee did not know that his certi-
cate Of election had been forwarded to the
Senate by Governor Goldsborough until so
informed at his Office in Washington. He
declared that he had no idea when the
matter would come up for discussion in
the Senate Committee.

HUPP SERVICE
CORPS BUSY

AS part of the Hupmobile service"
said Hollis Bush of the Birmingham
Motor company, there is maintained n
corps of mechanical exports who are
continually on the road visiting deal
ers to keep in touch with automobile
owners and initiating dealers into the
improvements and refnements that arc
going into the ear from time to time
These men are also supposed to be
on call for emergencies with which the
dealers service is unable to cope
up to this time we have delivered
all told $4,000 cars, and have hardly
enough calls from owners to keep this
force busy.
'"The answer lies in our method of
inspection, plus. of course, the me-
chanical excellence and thorough
workmanship that go into the Hupmo-
bile,
"The head inspector in our factory
is practically little czar in his own
domain. He is not under the super
vision of the factory department and
his Q. *. or disapproval is absolutely
final. In fact, his job depends finally

GENERAL CAR SHORTAGE
ISM EVIDENCE

"Our old friend, general car shortage,
is with US again and we are finding our
work cut ont for us providing sufficient
transportation for our output of zoe
cars per day said Walter NJ Drennen
Of the Overland company in a recent in
terview.
"lIoweVer, we are evidently better sit
uated In regard to car supplies than
are some other parts of the country,
for Detroit manufacturers have, accord
ing TO newspaper interview, been un-
able to ship their daily quota. Though
we have been very busy getting a suf-
ficient supply of cars for our business
We have never yet delayed a shipm ent
from the Overland factory, and railroad
officials have promised to take care
of us through these busiest months OF
our manufacturing year.
Transportation facilities are a mighty
important item to us, for just now we
are producing 200 Overlands a day aud
have no place around the plant for stor-
ing the cars in case the railroads should
fall down on us. However. we are
keeping our storage tracks at the fac
tory fairly full of freight cars and can
see no immediate danger of being left
in the lurch.
"Since this condition is an annual fall
event it seems to me that there should
be something done to take care of the
freight car situation. OF course the
railroads point out to us that millions
of bushels of wheat and other grain
are being transported at this time of
the year and that coal producers arc
making frantic efforts to move their
product before winter sets, in, but,
nevertheless. there should be cars
enough for everybody. Freight car

cation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission for some time, and I look

INTENDS TO INTRODUCE
LIGHTWEIGHT TRICKS

u. +. Dawson of the Commerce Mo-
tor Car company of Detroit. Mich, ar
rived in Birmingham a few days ago
and is contemplating an extended stay
in this wondrous metropolis of the
south Mr. Dawson is introducing III
southern states a lightweight delivery
truck of we'll known efficiency and is
of the opinion after seeing what
progressive city Birmingham is tina,
this city would be an ideal distributing
point for the entire south. He is con-
sidering several applications from local
automobile agencies to handle the ous-
put of the Commerce Motor Car cont
pany.
This is one of the most progressive
cities | have been In for some time"
said Mr.. Dawson, land 1t seems an
ideal place for n distributing point of
the lightweight delivery trucks of the
Commerce Motor Car company of De-
troit, Mich Though have been In Bir-

much impressed with your Magic City,

was discussed. The amount of air in a
tire is just as important as the tire that
contains 1t. Improper initiation renders a
tire susceptible to blow outs, just as
proper initiation prevents this annoyance.
This is the reason:

the object will sink into the tire, forcing
it inward at this one place The thread
comes into actual contact, but its elias
ticity allows it to adapt its shape so that
it usually suffers no injury, unless the
object be sharp and cuts it. But the
effect oil the fabric is more serious. 1t
isn't elastic: it can't stretch; conse-
quently. if the object sinks in far enough
to produce enough strain, il must break.
Naturally that ply of fabric receiving
the greatest strain is the inside one, for

for this reason it is the first to break

INTERESTING GOSSIP OF BIRMINGHAM AUTOMOBILES =

automobiles what manner of man must
he be? \ little bird hath whispered
that he must be enthusiastic to the
point that he can see no other automo-
bile travelling in the streets but the one
he is to sell. To be successful as an
automobile salesman he must honestly
and conscientiously believe that he is
selling the best automobile that money
can build or buy in the whole wide
world.
This enthusiasm ON the part of
salesman must not be forced, but must
be a part of him, and radiate from
every expression of his face and every
movement he makes. The sales
man must have an air of confidence
which is not egotism. You can't four
flush these hard times and get away
with it. The successful salesman must
known his motorear and if salesman
makes the statement that the car he
sells carries a motor which cannot be
bettered in the entire field of manufac-
turing he must be prepared to prove It
There are as many different methods
of selling an automobile as there are
prospective buyers. There are as many
lines of talk various ways of approach
leading to the psychological moment
when the fountain pen signs the order
as there are stars in the heavens. The
good salesman knows all methods in.
stinctively If he has followed the rule
of all successful salesmen-thst is of
learning, studying his motorcar and
knowing that the machine he has to
sell is better than anything in compe-
tition, in quality and in price. Such
confidence in an automobile fortifies
the salesman against argument, abuse,
criticism and the Indifferent attitude of
prospects.
And in Birminghan1-rthe metropolis
of Alabama-surely one of the greatest
automobile distributing centers in the
south, The Age-Herald with it's respect
ed solidarity with the progressive and
thoughtful public of it's locale is the
logical advertising medium of automo-
bile manufacturers planning southern
invasion or of upholding the reputation
of a car already known to the south.
1t is the mecca of all worthy adver-
tisers and the successful salesman de-
vertising columns, and the result is
train-load shipments of automobiles to
the Magic City"

Seldom indeed is any shock violent
enough to break every ply of fabric and
cause an Immediate blow out. Most al
ways it is only the inside ply that Is
fractured at the time. As this isn't ap-
parent the tire usually continues to gf9e
service, but the broken edges of the in
side chafe the other plies. The natural
bending of the tire finally breaks the re~
naming plies and then the tube forces
its way through. resulting in a blow out
This is the first warning the motorist
receives that something is wrong. He did
not know the fabric was broken some
time before. He sees nothing but the inn
mediate conditions, and doesn't realize
that his misfortune is something he could
have prevented IL he had only known
how q
"The reason the inside ply of fabric
broke in the first place, was the result
of improper air pressure. This permitted
the object on the road surface to sink inl
and stretch the fabric at one place TO thel
breaking point. Had the pressure been OH
the proper amount it would not have
been possible for the object to have made
such on impression. The internal air
pressure would have offered the properI
resistance and the shock instead of being
