GOOD ROADS DAYS ID BE OBSERVED
 THROUGHOUT STATE
Occasion Offers Opportunity to Assist in Repairing Ex- cessive Damage From
 Floods and Rains

Good roads days will be observed all
 over Alabama today and tomorrow and
 thousands of men and boys throughout
 the state will give their time to inn
 proving the conditions of the highways
 in their communities and throughout
 their counties. The days have been set
 aside for this purpose by enactment of
 the recent legislature after the experi-
 ment had been tried for several years
 with constantly increasing success. In most of the counties and in the several communities throughout the state, the citizens who will work on the roads or otherwise take part in carrying out the spirit of the occasion have been
 properly organized and definite plans
 mapped out for carrying on the work.
 ways all over the state have suffered in the past six weeks on account of the rains and floods. telling results can be easily accomplished in every section of the state in the matter of repairing badly washed roads and in filling holes.
 The unusual demands which have been
 made on the road working forces of the counties since the floods have made 1t impossible to make even the temporary repairs which were needed and it is eX- pected that good roads days will be the occasion for thousands of men to come to the assistance of the authorities in this matter.
 Governor Henderson has issued a strong proclamation showing the advantages which can be secured by the united effort
 on the part of people all over the state for these two days and appealing to all patriotic citizens to take part in this constructive work. Interest in good roads days has grown constantly since the idea was first advanced and practical results of highly valuable nature are looked for today and> tomorrow.

Good Body Polish For Auto.

| For furniture or automobile bodies,
an excellent polish can be made by
thinning down boiled linseed oil with
turpentine, advises the engineering
extension division at Iowa State col
lege. This should be applied sparingly
to the clean surface with cloth and
should be rubbed briskly with soft,
dry cloth or with cotton waste. 1t is
best not to use body polish on the
body Of the Car until the gloss of the
varnish has begun to become dull.
Another polish recommended by one
of the largest manufacturers of motor
cars is made from 1 gallon of turpen-
tine, 31A ounces of citronella oil, 1

When the finish on the car has become

retary Of War Garrison prohibited army
officers from making speeches has been

This fact became known to-day when

~ the Chicago Commercial Club That he
wou,d no, give Rear Admiral Austin NJ.
Knight permission to speak before that
organization on January 10.
The Commercial Club had asked Heef
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske to speak ou'

Wilson as follows.

Secretary Daniels replied:
II have not heard that Anmirai rlsh'

President was referred TO me. 1t is my
| conviction that the expert opinion oi
