PASSING THE BUCK ON THE
 3, ;. l1Rnns, 5R FEWER ROUTE

.1D) AY BOLTON, who has been one lNN of the mainstays of the sales S1 force of the Brownell Auto Co.,, has signed a contract with the Bramlitt Auto Co.,, distributors of the Scripps- Booth. Bolton will take charge of the sales force tomorrow.
 There are few automobile men in the state who are better known than the f1eet-footed "Raybestors" He has shown an excessive amount of speed in every position he has occupied since he came to Birmingham five years ago. He IS one among many who knows the auto mobile business from the beginning to the end. Ray has number of friends and acQuaintances in the city who will be glad to hear of his new connection. The Bramlitt Auto Co. is distributor of the Scripps-Booth for Alabama and Mississippi
 The Scripps-Booth is an extremely clever and snappy automobile of great ability, The upSeep is low and the price is right Two models are made by these people, four and eight cylinder. That numerous Scripps-Booth machines will be 'buzzlng" about on the streets of Birmingham Tn the near future is the hope of Rays many friends
 Jack Crenshaw, another member of the Brownell Auto Co. sales force, is now with the Birmingham Motor Co. Jack is one of the most versatile and accom- plished statesmen in the city. He has made a unique record in the automobile busl- ress since he first started the game with Fords. From the day he was signed with the Brownell company he commenced to make good. He is still making good.
 Jack is specializing on Dodges and Hup- mobiles. The new model Dodge enclosed models are receiving careful attention from Jack, who has placed several in the hands of satisfied owners recently. Don Drennen is to be congratulated upon his ingenuity in getting the services of Crenshaw, Hawley and Klyce, not to speak of the sales manager, Elston, who is 8 wizard.
 The Brownell Auto Co.,, owing to the slow process of getting enough Fords to deliver to their numerous customers, had to eliminate it's staff of expert salesmen. John Tomlin is still on the job and he cannot be beaten. He is sticking to the job and taking orders for the "hivvers' with the same old persistency. Johnny VI salesmen employed by this live, aggres- sve, wde-awake firm at present. It Is too bad Fords cannot be gotten.
 Ed Crawford has invested a tidy sum oy money in his Ford agency. He has hired several salesmen who promptly went out and got the business. Owing to his inability to get enough Fords to supply the demand, he like Brownell, has been seriously handicapped.
 Ed has one of the most up-to-date and modern shops in the csty. He is waitir for the time to come when he can con sistently sell a man Ford and tell him when 1t can be delivered This has beer had year for the Ford agencies through out the country But they are worth waiting for.
 Hammond. the large person who dis tributes Velies, is doing a great holiday business Five in the past week. And ht can show you the signed orders for every one of them.

ATHLETIC CLUB ID
 PLAY BIRMINGHAM
MethOdists to Play B. A. C. Tuesday Night-Dance
 Follows

Birmingham college will be the oppo- nents of the Birmingham Athletic club on Tuesday night in the clubs gymna- sium due to the fact that the Missouri School of Osteopathy five will not reach Birmingham in time for the game. This announcement was made yesterday by Secretary J. D. Beavins.
 The Athletic club has excellent pros poets for a successful year with five veterans back in harness. Coach Ed Spencer has been working his men hard for the past two weeks and has selected a varsity squad from the best men in the color series.
 The usual dance will follow the game Tuesday night. This added attraction proved big drawing card last year, and it is the desire of Secretary Beavins to continue the policy.
 The Birmingham college five is a good one, and will give the club team a hard scrap Coach Brown has been practic- ing his squad for the past two weeks, and the Methodists will be in excellent shape for the game.
 The next game is with Vanderbilt on January l. Preparations are being made for the game, which promises to be one of the best of the season. Vandy de- feated the club last year by a close score.

How to Clean Your Gun

There are two methods used for clean ing a gun barrel.
 The first is the hot water treatment. but it should only be used if your supply of powder solvent is exhausted and you are far from store.
 Boiling water is an excellent solvent for the harmful ingredients of fouling. When poured down your barrel. it re- moves acids that may be present and carries away the various residues which are obviously more soluble in water than in oil.
 very dirty and inconvenient when carried out on a small scale. and has the objec- tion of not as rule, being available inn mediately after shooting, and unless you are careful to protect your stock and fore end, you may injure these wood parts.
 If possible. you should secure a good lubricant solvent and rust preventive, A small rag well satura ted with an oily. non-corrosive mixture of this sort. pulled through the rifling again and again, will keep your arm in prime condition, if used after each days shooting.
 One very simple and effective way to clean your comparatively new arm is to moisten the interior of the barrel by blowing through and rubbing out with soft rags. The process should be con- tinued until the rags come out perfectly clean--then oil thoroughly.
 All arms should be cleaned within two hours after shooting. No gun should be set aside or placed in the gun rack until thoroughly cleaned.

Tennessee-Sewanee Game Is Off; Tigers
 to Meet Chattanooga

Chattanooga, December f6.-(Speciall Efforts to make a permanency out of the -Sewanee game in Chicago struck another snag in Charleston, and these two old-time rivals will not meet each other next season. While Tennessee was holding out as a member of the Southern Athletic conference at Charles ton Friday morning and refusing to play any school that did not enforce the one year rule Sewanee signed for game with the University of Chattanooga here on November IT, the date that was allotted the Tennessee game
 The Vol eleven went the Tigers one bet ter, however, by hooking up with Auburn for Birmingham on that date, which means, doubtless, a greater financial harvest for the Volunteers.
 It is stated, however, that arrangements will be made after one year to make the game an annual event; Tennessee would not give Sewanee another game here OH account of a desire for some good games at Knoxville.

 Coach Noojin stated that the basket ball squad is rapidly rounding into condition and the team would be a formidable one. Coach Kelley is work ing with his material hard and hopes to produce another winner
 The signing of Coach Kelley for two more years was the cause of much happiness at the university among the students, according to Coach Noojin.

People from all classes of society
have Joined in the manufacture Of
munitions. There is, for example, on
the staff of the ministry of munitions
the daughter of an earl, who worked
for nine months as a lathe hand in a
munition factory. Large numbers of
the best known families have devoted
themselves to work in the canteens
and to other work in connection with
the factories. There is a department
in the ministry which is solely con-
cerned with the provision of canteens
for munitiOn workers, and these can
teens provide meals for 900 people
daily. This enables them to get their
food under decent conditions. Charges
are made to cover the cost.
Interfere With Private Works.
CDR. Addison pointed out that it has
been necessary to interfere arbitrarily
in private industry in order to carry
on the munitions work. Private and
public building has been stopped in
many cases in order to move the labor
elsewhere or to economic material.

Instruments which formerly had been
made by the Germans had been discov-

1t is stated that the heads of the
different departments of the ministry
of munitions are largely directors and
managers of great industries who
have volunteered their services and
have given up the whole Of their pri-
yate work TO labor for the country
without remuneration. As one has
