Drennen said; People these days are not impressed by the fact that you merely say you are capable of doing work that is in a class by itself In order to introduce the modern methods of our vulcanizing plant to the general public I have decided to give a service ticket worth $2, in trade to each one who possesses an automobile or tire pur- chased from my concern. With this ticket the purchaser of a tire or machine may actually see the work we are capable of free of charge. In this manner he is able to judge why We claim superior service and workmanship. We not only tell him that we do it, by ,his method hut we actually show him.
 ''The art of repairing tires is not known by the average man. Nevertheless, ther7 is an art to the work that requires the services of skilled artisans. We have em- ployed the men who are capable of do- ing the best of work and to further help them we have installed the most modern machinery"

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Generous Aid Acknowledged
the Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Please accept the thanks of this as- scciation for publicity given our recent statement of needs for our new under taking, the open air school at Green Springs park.
 We have received generous aid from sev- eral individuals, notably splendid dona- tion of labor by MT. J. c. Rails and as- sociates among the union carpenters. The Women's Missionary societies of Avondale have sent a cash donation through Mrs. J. B. Messer. Miss Ida Gelders is interesting her friends for a supply of playing raiment for the girls.
 The undertaking was most heartily in- dorsed by our executive committee and by the annual meeting. We still need gifts to cover the few requisite furnish ings and for the regular expenses on ac- count of the daily milk, eggs. and other food for minimum of 22 children
 Thanking you for wour assistance, yours, GEORGE EAVES, Secretary.

BHAM MOTOR CO. INDICTMENT / ID USERS OF TIRES
Donald Drennen Gives Serv- ice Card Entitling Holder to Two Dollars Worth
 of Work Gratis


 Donald Drennen, president of the Bir- mingham Motor company, is probably one of the most progressive automobile dealers in the business. He has exempli- fled this fact by offering, free ot charge a tire ticket good for $2 in trade for tire repairs to every purchaser of an automobile or tire from his concern. MT. Drennen has recently installed one of the most modern vulcanizing plants in the south. In order to show the pub lie the kind of work he is capable of do- ing, he is willing to give all his patrons s2 worth of work free of charge. He feels sure that those who use up his ticket will be only too glad to return to his plant when it is necessary to have expert tire work done.
 In speaking of this innovation, MT.

STRING OF CHECKS FINALLY CAUSES
 ARREST OF WOMAN
B. M. Allen and $. J. Bowie Among Those Whose Names Were Signed
 Fraudulently

Mrs J. E. Powell, 4610 First avenue, was arrested last night at S:90 o'clock by Chief of Detectives Shirley and De- tective Goldstein on a charge of pass ing bad checks
 It is alleged that Mrs. Powell has passed something like 15 checks, many of which were signed "B. M. Allen and some of which were signed "S. J. Bowie" Several other names were lsed without the Knowledge of their own CTS, and the checks given in exchange for merchandise at practically every department store in the city and sev- eral smaller stores.
 The alleged operations of Mrs. Powell were begun early in March and the checks have been coming into the de- tective department on an average of one or more a week. Two prominent stores were victims on June 8, and it is expected that the arrest may bring to light further victims.
 Chief Shirley said last night that he and GoldStein had been working on the case since early in March, when the first check was brought to the at tention of the department.
 Mrs Powell is the mother of three children and is said to have been in very reduced circumstances.
 Detective Goldstein in speaking of the case, gave former Chief of Police George H. Bodeker full credit for the arrest.
 Chief Bodeker tipped off to where we could locate her. said Gold stein, "and he has been largely in- strumental in working up the evidence upon which the arrest was made"
