INTERESTING GOSSIP OF BIRMINGHAM AUTOMOBLISTS

| servative estimate of the increased value
of farm lands, due directly to the auto
mobile
IA few years ago farm lands which
were located near the railroads were
worth about SIS an acre, where the land
20 miles back could hardly be sold at $40
an acre. With the introduction of the au-
tomobile, however, the latter land was
brought within a few minutes run OF the
railroads and its value has increased tre-
mendously because of this fact The
farmer who owns an automobile and
lives 20 miles from a shipping point is
today as close to the markets of the
world as is the man whose land is within
three or four miles of the railroad The
automobile will make the run to the ship
ping point in less time than horses take
to cover three or four miles.
Besides eliminating distance as 1t has
the automobile has worked another tre-
mendous influence for good in the agricul-
tural districts of the country by demand
Ing good roads It is universally ac-
knowledged that good highways mean in
creased prosperity for the farmer. and
whatever automobiles are owned there
will good roads be found as soon as they
can be built. Many short-sighted people
have claimed that the purchase of an
automobile by farmer is an extrava-
gance I maintain that 1t is one of the
most foresighted economies he ever in
troduoed and think the majority of the
successful farmers If the United States
will agree with me-"

MR.. WESTGARD
WORKING ON NEW ROUTE

Immediately after the finish of the re-
cent 1ndiana-Pac tour, w. o. l.. West
gard, field representative of the Ameri-
can Automobile association. started east
from Los Angeles over a route that will
be by far the longest and In some ways
one of the most important cross-country
lines. 1t will run via Yuma, Phoenix. Ell
Paso, Fort Worth, Dallas. Texarkana,
Little Rock, Memphis, Nashville, Knox
vile. Ashevile. Greensboro, Richmond,
Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
to New York.
It's publication in the spring of 1914 will
provide a transcontnental route that can
be Travelled throughout the year, and of
course would be particularly sought dur
ing the winter months. Very little diff
f1culty has been experienced in framing
up the route, as long stretches of good
natural roads were found in Arizona New
Mexico and Texas. In fact. the one great
problem of the A. A. A. Pathfinder 40
has been to select the lone best way"
from the number of options offered at
several points. notably east of Phoenix.
Exceptional enthusiasm has been shown
along the line of the Southern National
Transcontinental Highway Invariably
Mr.. Westgard has been met at strategic
points by large delegations of motorists
and business men, not only boosting
their own section, but promising. Some
towns and counties have not waited for
official action but have already made lib
eral appropriations for good roads and
substantial bridges.
1t is quite probable that large per-
centage of tourists will go to the Pacific
coast over the Al-Southern Transconti-
mental highway during 1915 For the first
time, the southeastern and gulf coast
states will be placed on a completely
MAPPED cross country line through upper

tion of the general prosperity throughout
the country Is afforded by the constantly
increasing demand for popular priced au-
tomobiles, which according to the Max
well Motor company is conspicuous in
every section OF the country.
Another condition which is looked upon
favorably by the automobile manufac-
turers and affords another convincing
proof of the stability of this business as
one of the big Industries of the future.
is the large number of responsible busi-
ness and professional men who are retir-
ing from various other lines, such as
hardware, dry goods, doctors, etc, to es-
tablsh agencies and enter the selling end
of the automobile business. This would
seem to indicate that the man who has
labored for years trying to establish
home selling groceries or dry goods and
who has observed his neighbor build a
home and a cozy bank account selling au-
tomobles, has at last realized that there
is no line of business insures better re-
turns or a more substantial future for
the same amount of effort
"An interesting and up-to-the- minute
report of the general conditions through
out the country, in SO far as the automo-
bile business Is concerned, is afforded by an
interview with C. r. Redden, sales man
ager of the Maxwell Motor company,
who has just returned from an eight
weeks trip around the country, visiting
all of the distributing branches of the
Maxwell company, and travelling all told
some 5000 miles, holding series of
meetings at their different branches, to
which were invited all of the dealers
throughout that particular section. He
reports having talked to some 1900 deal
ers and seems most enthusiastic over the
outlook for 1914, and says that If all the
companies enjoy at least one-half of the
success now assured the Maxwell COM
pany 1t will prove the banner year in the
industry"

OF INTEREST TO
THE HON. B. B. CONFER

That railroad problems will be solved
some time to come by motor trucks is
the opinion of the Goodyear Tire company
officials and If they are correct Governor
Conner will perhaps find that he is to be
bested by the harmless appearing motor
truck. For Frank Gafford of the Good
year local offices pointed out yesterday
that the truck was encroaching on the
railroads and added
THE future will no doubt see the motor
truck, when operated on first-class high
ways. a means of solving the railroad
situation.
The building of railroads made possi-
bic wide distribution of the population
and an expansion in agricultural produc-
ton The rise In manufacturing tended
to hold great populations within narrow
confines of cities and towns and to at
tract to them increases from the rural
districts.
bringing from distant points the mate
rials of agricultural and mineral produc-
ton are increasing every year.
THE motor truck has demonstrated its
economy and utility and has suggested a
more comprehensive adaptation to the
needs of the country. For instance,
household goods can now be moved from
one town to another with only two hand
1ings instead of four.
There has been comparatively little ef-
fort towards the organization of motor
truck service as a definite and important
part of the transportation system. How
ever when the country is equipped with
the right kind of improved highways, or
ganiZation of this kind will be effected
generally and profitably
1.-THE various truck tires that are built
for speed, the side flange tire for medium
weight trucks, and the solid demountable
and block tires for extra heavy haulage,
will all have greater opportunity of dis
playing their qualities to advantage.
THE motor truck, a ready means of
conveyance between city and country,
may be expected, under the improved
highways movement. to check the migra-
tion of population from farm to town. In
turn 1t will make farm lands more valu-
able, farm life more profitable.
"Secondarily, 1t will tend to draw from
| the town life thousands who heretofore
! have Stunned the country because of its
| comparative insulation. Organization of
motor truck service should naturally
bring about the creation of new centers
| of industry and trade"

STUDEBAKER AGENCY
CHANGES HANDS

The agency for Studebaker cars hereto
fore held by Judge Dan A. Greene has
been taken over by the Haynes Motor
company, of which T. W. Tway, Walter
Robertson and Thomas Norris Jr, are
the owners. 1t has not been officially an
nounced what the new policy of the com
pany will be here, but 1t is gathered that
an effort will be made to transact a
greater volume of business in this section
for the Studebaker than ever before.
Judge Greene has the Maxwell at this
time. 1t is generally understood that the
Studebaker line was relinquished by
Judge Greene of his own accord. He
made quite a success of the line.
The new agents will devote considerable
time to the new cars as they will also
to the Haynes. the Universal truck and
other lines that are to be secured The
company has rented the former Oakland
garage on South Twentieth street for a
service station of Haynes and other cars
That garage will be opened during the
next few days for that purpose.

MISS LUCE PERKINS
PATHETIC NARRATIVE

In The Age-Herald society column this
week was printed a note from Miss Lucie
Perkins in reference to an automobilist
driving upon her pony and cart on a
country road and thus forever depriving
that young lady of country trips. The
young lady In question is an invalid, and
while summering in the country found
her sweetest joy in cross country trips
In her buggy. An automobilist one day,
unmindful of her to the last degree
scared the horse, caused Miss Perkins
considerable nervousness and now that
young lady is afraid to drive as was her
wont since removing to the country FOR
her health.
This case is one of peculiar pathos and
one that cannot help striking chord of
intense sympathy in the breast of man.
How it was possible for any human to
so utterly disregard the common laws of
decency and manhood as to permit her
to go unattended after soaring her horse
and subjecting the young lady to such
treatment is beyond the mind of any gem
tleman. Miss Perkins is entitled to and
doubtless receives. although she knows it
not, the sympathy of all lovers of fair
play and all believers in a square deal
Had the automobiist been in any sense a

cleanup, has created such unrivalled in

sade The unusual number of accidents
that during the past few days have horri-
fed and saddened citizens of this commu-
nifty is a fear of the past The automo-
bile drivers of Birmingham have made up
their minds to the fact that it will not
be safe to operate their machines with
out caution along the highways of Br-
mingham and are accordingly going slow
The writer of this column from time to
time Is treatedFto the inestimable joy of

every nook and corner has been passed

rious points of this city and at all hours
of the day and night it is possible to OBJ

successful and intestimable service to
this community during the past few days

over Birmingham. Various drivers we'll
understand that motorcycle, riders are
out on the watch and that a chase of
many miles will be pulled off rather than
allow any speeders to get away with
their destructive antics,
Judge Douglass has stood right behind
the policemen and to him is also due
some of the credit for what has been
done. The automobile men have contrib
uted their moral support to the move
ment by instructing their drivers to be
careful and dismissng some of them for
violating the ruling.
Taken by and large the speeding craze
Is well under control in the city and it is
to be hoped that never again will public
sentiment have to be crystalized against
such useless proposition as speeding and
moreover one that is so unessential to
the correct enjoyment of the wonderful
automobile. -

MEL DRENNEN SEES
VALUE OF OVERLAND

In a statement yesterday Walter Mel
vile Drennen of the Overland points out
that during the past few years the auto
mobile has added over two billion dollars
to the farm valuation of this country.
He secures that detailed opinion from
Newman Erb. the railroad executive, who
has made exhaustive study of the
problem. Mr.. Drennen said yesterday:
'If the automobile has, in a manner,
rerplexed the railroads of the country in
lessening their receipts from passenger
traffic. It has benefited them greatly by
opening up hitherto undeveloped terrific
ries and thus increasing freight traffic.
Il have lately had called to my atten-
ton statements made by Newman Erb,
president of the Minneapolis and st. Louis
railroad. and one of the keenest finan-
cial men in the country, in which the
automobile was given due credit for the
good it has accomplished. Mr.. Erb de-
clared that two billion dollars was a con-

may list their cars for second hand
trades has been launched by Thomas E.
Morris, Jr. He has already listed great
many cars and is expected to move a
great volumne OF machines through the
agency of the automobile exchange.
The plan is to charge small listing
fee and a percentage on cars sold. The
plan has been worked out in many larger
cities successfully and 1t is believed that
a great field is open here for such oper-
ations.
