PASSING THE BUCK" ON
 THE "FLIVVER ROUTE''
By ALLEN J. KREBs, JR.

Gordon l.. Hewson, formerly of San Francisco, now connected with the Saun- ders Motor Car company, is enthusiastic about the south in general and Birmlng ham in particular. q think this is real city, said Hewson, "and I am de- lighted to be among such fine people in a progressive, up-to-date town. I have been fortunate enough to put over several Hudsons since my arrival here and hope to continue the good work in the future"
 Wild Bnr Pape, says that he has succeeded after so long a time to con vince his boss QHubert Drennen) that there is no justice in the continuance of his friends calling him Wild Bill" Bill has forgotten the halyceon days of dark nights. bright lights, and blow outs (speaking steer gearingly) of old, forsooth, he would have his friends and especially the boss to believe. At that, he is a bear when 1t comes to putting them over.
 J. P. Wright of the Birmingham Rec company among the best liked and most successful automobile men in Birming- ham. announces the arrival of two car loads of Rec pleasure cars and trucks. He has had some difficulty recently in getting the shipments from the factory in time to keep up with his sales. He reports a most successful business.
 Joe Anderson, alias 'Jovial Joe, says that he has better right to kick at his factory than any one in the city on ac- count of their inability to supply his demand for more cars. "The Studebaker corporation thought they foresaw the good times. and accordingly prepared to build more cars this year than ever, but it seems that their forecast fell short many cars I have sold and delivered more cars in the last 60 days than any other time for the same length since l have been in business" said Anderson. No wonder he is called "jovial," who wouldn't be the happy guy under the same conditions.
 A sure cure for worry for the time be- ing: Take your gasoline gusher out the First avenue road, pass through West End and continue until you hit the dirt road. You will be so busy trying to keep from breaking your back, wheel, steering gear, or springs that you won't have time to think of anything but your present worries-getting over the road without going nutty from the jars
