GRAVES IS HERE FOR MEETING TOMORROW
Vanguard of State Com mitteemen Arrive-Sev-
 eral Candidates Here

With the arrival of Bibb Graves of Montgomery, chairman of the state demo- cratic executive committee last night, plans for the meeting of the committee tomorrow assumed definite shape. Reach ing the city at about the same time MT. Graves came were 8 number of other members of the committee and a large contingent of men prominent in state po- litical affairs Among them were noted many probable as well as few declared candidates for public office in the ap- preaching primary.
 The resolutions which will 'point with pride and ''view with commendation" the acts of the Wilson administration have already been prepared and are now in the hands of Frank Lull of Wetumpka.
 In discussing the meeting last night, chairman Graves said: The majority of the members of the committee are under- stood to be in favor of primary for the selection of delegates and all favor President Wilson. The indorsement of the national administration will probably take place by the unani- nous vote of the committee. So far as I can see, the meeting will be in every way harmonious as there is absolutely nothing over which there seems to be any disagreement. Not enough members of the committee have reached the city tonight to make any statement with any degree of certainty, but these facts seem to be agreed on by every one."

 Board of Health

Washington, December 29.-Scientific management systems for speeding up workmen were attacked by Emery R Hayhurst of the Ohio state board oi health today before the American As sociation for Labor legislation. William c. Gorgas, surgeon general of the Uni ted States army, presided at the session
 Benefits derived by workers as a result of speeding is not in proportion to the benefits gained by employers, Dr. Hay hurst said.

THE ULTIMATE GOAL


 While universal service is admittedly the ultimate goal of the administration plan, it was said that resurvey of the military situation of the nation made only few months ago and going into questions of munitions manufacturins facilities and all kindred subjects dis closed such a hopeless state of unpre- paredness that the administration en,- parked at once upon it's campaign to build up the national defense
 In the single item of field artillery it was found that it would take more than three years to produce the guns believed to be necessary for force which could guarantee safety from invasion Lessons from European battlefields have served to treble or even quadruple estimates as to necessary reserve material and to in- crease twofold the proportion of light and heavy guns in any field army.
 War orders have increased the avail able commercial facilities for manufac- ture of war munitions, particularly in the last few months when many new plants have been put into commission Since all these plants are building guns and ammunition to foreign measurements. however, virtually every machine would have to be re-equipped to handle Ameri- can calibres

FINANCIAL BURDEN HEAVY

MT. McKenna thinks" the Times says, that the financial commitments already are as heavy as Great Britain is able to bear MT. Runcimans ob-
 lection is based on the necessity of maintaining our exports regardless of these objections"
 The Times argues that had the Earl of Derby's enlistment scheme been completely successful it's results would have been the same as will be ob-
 tained by compulsion and that the
 question how the men are obtained cannot affect the economic problem.
 Various opinions are advanced con- corning MT. McKenna and MT. Runci- man. While the Times appeared to
 think their opposition is irreconcil- able the Morning Post believes they
 will be won over. The Times says it thinks the labor party will come into line.
 Both the Times and the Daily Mail anticipate that when the matter comes before Parliament much of the oppo- sition will be found to have evapor- ated in deference to the strong public opinion in favor of Premier Asquith's s view.
 The Daily Mail as an indication of the trend of labor in the situation quotes G. H. Roberts. member of Par l liament. a lifelong enemy of compul- sion, as saying: There is something worse than conscription, and that is national defeat"
 The evening newspapers today all concede that the decision of the cabinet
 will favor compulsory service and see little ground for belief that there will be resignations of cabinet ministers
 or for anticipating serious opposition from the country. The Westminster Gazette. which frequently voices min isterial opinion, says:
 '1The only man who would have right to resign in the present circumstances is the man who has conscientious objec- tion to compulsory service in any cir cumstances and who Is willing to face

been expected. The royal influence is also being eXerted, the King having publicly intimated his special desire that all the men who attested under Earl Derby should wear the symbolic armlet issued in connection with the scheme.
 Much will depend upon the attitude of the labor party, which, although strongly opposed to compulsion, may possibly be swayed by MT Henderson, view that the exceptional circum stances justify exceptional means.
 According to the Daily Chronicle the new will be a short measure call ing upon unmarried men between the ages of 19 and 40 years to at test in their age groups within a spe- cified period of time and under the same privileges as the Derby recruits with serious penalties for noncom- pliance.
 According to the Times MT. McKenna bases his opposition to the scheme partly on personal doubt regarding the size of the military forces required oi Great Britain to win the war and partly on Great Britain's financial com mitments, both at home and by way of loans to her allies MT. Runciman the newspaper adds, is concerned tC maintain the volume of trade which he regards as an indispensable factor in the British war equipment.

NO FOR
PLAYERS THIS YEAR
Empire Company's Offer Reject
ed by Presidents of Both
Big Leagues.

1t seems rather certain now that
major league baseball players are not
going to have the opportunity to drive
new automobiles this fall as a result of
being judged the most valuable players
In their leagues. Such a trophy has
been awarded for the last Ave seasons,
one American and one NATIONAL Lacquer
having his name enrolled in basebalrs
hall Of fame each year. Tho award
under which motor cars were awarded
expired last fall. Through the winter
the discussion Of continuation Of the
hall Of fame was carried on, various sug-
gestions being made that the honor roll
so established was too popular and too
worthy to be allowed to end at the
present time.
When at the opening Of the present
season no arrangements were completed,
representations were made to the Em-
pire Automobile Company that Offering
two of its 1916 model cars. which were
announced at that time as trophies,
might be instrumental in continuing the
honor roll.
The offer was made to President John
son. Of the American League, and Presi-
Their replies, however, were to the cf-
feet that the offer could not be accepted.
Whether some substitute in the matter
of a trophy is to be found or whether the
this s1lson Is a question still to be set
tied by the commission. 1t has been
taken out altogether that the most valu-
able players again be selected by a
committee. and let the honor suffice
as reward. or possibly have medals pre-
sented.
I'VE simply made the offer OF cars,
believing that baseball fans in general
were interested in the competition. If It
were trophies that were in debate. we
were willing to do our part in continu-
Ing the hall of fame. We regret that
our offer could not be accepted, but can
appreciate the position Of the major
league presidents in regard to CONNER
cialism Of the game" says c. B. Somers,
Secretary of the Empire Automobile
Company.

Literature on
Goodyear Fortified Tires

A noteworthy contribution to trade
literature is the new booklet on GOOD
year Fortified Tires" that has just
been issued to the trade by the Good
year Tire and Rubber Company. 1t is
primarily n booklet discussing big car
requirements, and is intended to illus-
trate the progress Goodyear has made In
the big car field in the past fe wyears'
by dwelling on the two types OF tires
that exemplify the climax of its work
From the foreword: "These tires are
big, durable and easy riding. They Of
fer you luxury in all the ways tire
can. They are the tires de iuxe-and
they look 1t and prove it on your car.
Both the 1915 type full fabric tire ana
the Goodyear cord tire are illustrated
and described. and the following rea-
sons are given for Goodyear's ability
to produce tires of this quality at prices
lower than the highest:
our policy is, first, to build the best
tire possible regardless of cost. Five
exclusive features prove that. One of
them costs us si50.O00 yearly. Then we
spend on laboratory work 100000 just
to learn how to better tires. But we
have 4 matchless output. We have n
factory with modern equipment. and
we give our users all we save in these
ways. That's why Goodyears under
sell some others"
