GERMAN BOY MUST
 SAVE HIS EARNINGS
Will Not Be Allowed by Gov ernment to Waste Them
 in Living

Berlin, March 15.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press. .)-Compusory sav- ing has been introduced on a small scale in at least one district of Germany. This is revealed in an order issued by the military commander of the district of
 Cassel, famed as the early schooling place of Emperor William.
 The order is aimed at the extravaganza ing high wages in war industries. The order recites that young men in receipt
 of swollen war earnings have in many cases been leading profligate lives and sometimes neglecting to support depend ent relatives In some places, it is ob- served, boys have been seen lighting their
 cigarettes with paper money, which Is issued in denominations as small as 25 cents and 50 cents.
 As this class of youth has not desisted from it's practices after repeated warn- ings, the commanding general decrees that persons under 21 years of age must of their wages as accords with the gravity of the time must adequately support their dependents, and must deposit the | in savings bank their surplus earnings D or they will not be allowed further to collect their wages. Instead, their money will be handed over to a duly appointed trustee, who will withhold such amount 1 as he sees fit for deposit in a savings bank until after the war or until his charge has attained his Fist year.

GOODYEAR MANAGER
 TALKS ON CORD TIRES
Says They Are Best for Electric Driven Vehicles Because of
 Construction

T am often asked how our cord tires are particularly adapted to electric driven vehicles, says J. s. Taylor. branch man. ager of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company.
 'The storage batteries of an electric ve- hicle depreciate with constant rechargine and discharging, and obviously any item which tends to increase the life of the batteries, the mileage on a single charge, and the speed of the car. without exact ing additional current, is of prime inn
 portance So we build our tires to meet these conditions.
 Our cord tires are constructed of hard twisted cords, similar to a fishing line, placed parallel to each other, and thor oughly impregnated with rubber, to pre- vent them from causing friction and gen. erating heat by rubbing against each other. The fabric commonly used in building tires has threads running both ways, like a piece of cloth. But these threads render the fabric harder to bend as the tire flexes along the road, and a large part of the battery charge is used to counteract their effect. Cord con- struction causes the tire to run softly without jar, taking up every shock before
 it can reach the car.
 This special construction increases the
 mileage per battery charge about 90 per
 cent over what would be possible with an
 ordinary fabric tire. To add even more
 to comfort Goodyear cord tires are made larger than others-they contain third
 more air space than ordinary cord tires. This means extra cushioning power-to save you from jars and 1olts, and make your car run smoothly and without vibra- tion. The larger size also adds to the luxurious appearance of your car. With the deep symmetrical blocks-the all weather tread found only on Goodyears nonskid design is obtained which runs as smoothly as a plain tread, thereby adding to the mileage per battery charge. II

INTEREST TO AUTOMOBILE DEALERS AND OWNERS
SHIPMENTS FROM
 OVERLAND FACTORY MORE THAN DOUBLE
First Two Months of Present Year Show Vast Increase Over Same Period Last Year

Shipments of Overlands and Willys- Knight cars for the first two months ot 1916 totaled 276S5 as against 1O.240 for the corresponding months of 1915. That in a measure tells the story of how the To- ledo concern has developed during the past year.
 While it is true that the factory itself has been increased in size by the addi- tion of huge new buildings, it's present fa- cilities are now three times greater than they were at the beginning of 1915" de- clares John N, Willys, president of the company. Yet our shipments show that the demand for Overland cars is fully three times as great as it was a year ago.
 T attribute this partly to the fact that the motor car has become more of an all year-round necessity. People no longer wait for the summer Rlonths >efore pur- chasing They have found the automo- bile to be as useful and practical in cold weather as it is in the balmy days or spring.

Much Ado
From Judge.

From Judge.
 How do you say Thank you"
 There's no how about 1t. just say it."
 Well, say It."
 "'Thank you"
 Just as I thought. The how is the important part"
 Nonsense Explain"
 "I will. When-you are obliged to say thank you in polite and rational
 way, you really say thank down sub
 bass and you up somewhere in G."
 "Is that so? And where do you sing
 it?"
 That way only when a certain em-
 phasis is positively required"
 What for, 'emphasis'?"
 Well, it's necessary on occasion, dependent on whom you thank"
 You said it depended on politeness' "But why forget that even politeness has its little technique? It all depends on the time, the place, and the cir. cumstance." Not altogether clear, but go on.' ''Very well. Make some slight ef- fort to follow me, please, since I am out this morning for your good" "Oh, get ahead.' "Then. We will first take up the point of good form for the phrase in general. It is always to be employed in the courteous sense of T thank you for something. A simple declarative sentence. No vulgar emphasis any where. Bear that in mind. To fix 1t just speak the words in three obvi- ously wrong ways, thus: T thank you; T THANK you;' T thank YOU You perceive the absurdity of utterance un- less in the conversation that has gone before a selection of emphasis is called for. But we are now speaking o1 the single sentence as unrelated tc anything else but the convention o1 courtesy in response to some attention conferred"
 "All that is plain enough. What more?" Did you ever notice the different thank yous' in business-salesmen and saleswomen, for example, on handins you a purchase, or your change ii you are so lost in self-degradation as ever to pay cash for anything?" DO they say thank you? I hadn't | noticed" Sometimes some of them do." Fire away. I suppose they do Ii with how" "Assuredly. Here are some-'-nkeu; -ku;;' -hnks'-" Hold on. You don't insist they shal 1 begin with TIP" Why. no. Thank you is sufficient 1 That alone is susceptible of many more variations than I have indi | cated: 'Thnk'2" "That will do. Your point is badly taken. It's enough if salesladies gt I through the motions. They are not l salaried to spell their words for crank: | like you" Just as you say. But I will not en- i dure the rising, supercilious infection 1 of you as so often spoken" l "Oh. we'll. if that is all. suppose vol
 rest awhile"

TIED" BROWNELL SETS WONDERFUL
 RECORD FOR A DAY
Sells Seventeen Automobiles and Has Signed Contracts to Prove It.
 On Friday, Too

The worlds record for one days sell ing of automobiles has been broken and a Birmingham man is now the proud pos sessor of this record. The stunt is claimed as worlds record because, as far as is known. no one has duplicated the feat accomplished by one of Birmingham s live automobile salesmen.
 The gentleman who performed what many people believe almost the impos- sible is E. W. Brownell, president of the Brownell Automobile company, Ford and Studebaker agents here.
 And the record he made was selling r automobiles-Fords and Studebakers-in one day. He did it all by himself and he has signed contracts safely stored away in his strong box. It was last Fri day when Mr, Brownell accomplished this piece of work. and from now on Ted" says he will certainly think well of Friday-despite the fact that other people are superstitious about the day.

MOURNING TALKS ABOUT SPEEDWAY
 ID BE BUILT HERE
Secretary of Montgomery Dealers Association En- thusiastic Over Project.
 Means Much for State

Interest in the building of the Birming- ham motor speedway around the lake of the Birmingham Motor and Country club is running high among automobile men throughout the state. The members of the Alabama Automobile Dealers asso- citation are enthusiastic over the project and their unqualified support and CO., operation has been evidenced by the nu- merous letters received by the Birmlng- ham Motor Speedway Company from all over the state and some sections of the south.
 George Mourning, secretary of the Moutgomery Automobile Dealers asso- citation, and actively engaged in the sell ing of Hudson automobiles in that city, in speaking of the speedway which VIII be built in Birmingham, said:
 Birmingham is indeed fortunate in having a speedway such as will be built there for the purpose of holding races of international interest. Nothing will tend to rejuvenate automobile sales throughout the south as much as the building of the Birmingham speedway. l am only sorry that Montgomery was not chosen as the city in which a speedway such as is planned for Birmingham, would be built.
 ..There are so many advantages which will be derived for Birmingham that Il is hard to enumerate them. One thing sure is that interest among those who haven't automobiles at the present time will be aroused to the point where they will be anxious to purchase. Accessory manufacturers will undoubtedly see that a great many of the racing cars are equipped with their particular products The points of superiority in these ar ticles are bound to show up in the gruel- ling grind of a 200-mile race at top speed; likewise any claim made by manufac- turer of an accessory of it's exceptionai qualities will be shown up in the true light Tires of all makes will undoubt- edly be used on the different racing cars and their real ability to stand up under the heavy strain can be shown beyond all doubt.
 Nothing can be more interesting than to see a racing car stop at one Of the pits, have tire changed, oil and gaso- line replenished, and the driver off, all within the short period of less than one minute In addition to all these advant- ages. from the standpoint of the automo- bile dealer and spectator, the vast amount of money which will be poured into Blr- mineham through the influx of thousands of tourists will mean prosperous times with big profits for ali those who have anything these people need Birmingham people should certainly come forward and help in every way possible this project which means so much to the entire south land.'

CHALMERS DEALERS
 WIN GOLD WATCHES
Farmhouse and Newman Show Ability to Write Advertisements for
 Newspapers

Competing with close to 1000 Chal- mers dealers in all sections of the coun- try, W. P. Farmhouse of New Orleans and Harry Newman, Milwaukee dis tributor, have captured the handsome gold watches offered for the best news paper advertisement on the new Chal- mers Six-30, written by dealer.
 At the Chalmers dealers convention held last November, L. A. Van Patten, advertising counsel, announced his be- lief in the automobile dealers ability to place his selling arguments on pa per. As an incentive to action, MT. Van Patten purchased one of Tiffany's finest Swiss watcnes 10 go to the dealer producing the best copy.
 When the contest judges attempted to make decision recently. they came to a deadlock over the "ads'' submitted by MT. Farmhouse and MT. Newman, and the only solution was the purchase of an additional timepiece for MT. New man.
 Hundreds of advertisements were submitted in the competition, many of them far superior to the ordinary run of motor car announcements.

Rheumatism

Walt Mason Tn Judge.
 In winter. when the snow is slushy, and when the rain is wet and cold, the cli- mate soggy soft and mushy, the rheu- natism swats the old.
 The young may view the winter weather without quiver or a quake ana go sleigh-ridlng all together, impervious to pain and ache; the more the wire-edged winds are blowing, the better time the youngsters have; the more the elements are showing, the less they yearn for pills and salve.
 But I no longer am chicken; I'm in the sere and yellow leaf; by weight of years I'm amply stricken, and winter
 brings me only grief. The rheumatism
 in my ankles. and in my large but shape
 ly feet, and there for weeks the anguish
 rankles. and makes me cuss things and
 repeat. My disposition once was sunny
 my heart was free from wrath and guile, and people came and spent their money to see my wide and balmy smile. But since I've had the rheumatism, my cheerful
 smiles have all been canned; you need but mention optimism If you would have a row on hand.
 There is one meager consolation that gives my soul ray of cheer; III all this broad and mighty nation, I am the fore most weatherseer When rneumatism racks my hinges, and doth my bones and sincws strike, can, by studying the
 twinges. tell what the weather VIII be like.
 The governments one-horse forecaster, though paid handsome salaree, would run up against a dire disaster, should he attempt to rival me. His prophecies are harmless fctions, as false as any fairy tale; but people bank on my pre-
 dictions. and all agree they never fall. When pains increasing. to my sorrow, cry, from out of shroud of woe, Well have a rotten day to morrow, with fifty seven kinds of snow" And when my feet are throbbing, aching, with throbbing,
 horizontal pain. I say. 'The clouds are moisture making-tomorrow will be rank with rain.' And when the anguish IS re- tiring, so I can stand upon my feet. l
 say, wen have what we're desiring
 the sunshine-good for men and wheat"

DRENNEN HAS GOOD
 DEMAND FOR WINS
New Truck in Birmingham Territory Finding Favor With the Mer-
 chants Here

The Drennen Motor Car company which recently took over the agency for the Vim truck, reports that the demand for this truck is excellent. The Vim is comparatively a new product in this territory, but within the past two years the manufacturers have made wonderful strides in their mode of distribution and have sold more trucks than any other factory.
 The Vim truck has 1000 pounds ca pacity and is generally used by mer- chants for delivery within 20 or 30- mile radius. It is cheap, as to price, and the upkeep cost is small.

THE MAN WHO DIDN'T FIT IN

lhere's a race of men that don't
tit in,
a race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith
and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the filed and they rove
the wood,
And they climb the mountains
crest;
Theirs is the curst of the gypsy
blood,
And they don't know how to rest.
1t they just went straight they
might go far;
They are strong and brave and
true;
But they are always tired of the
things that are,
And they want the strange and
They say: Gould find my proper
groove,
What deep mark I could make
SO they chop and change and each
fresh move
Is only fresh mistake.
And each forgctS, as he strips
and runs
With a brilliant. fitful pace.
IFS the steady. quiet, p:odding
Who win in life's long race.
And each forgets that youth has
fled.
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day with hope
that's dead.
In the glare of the truth, at last.
He has failed he has missed his
chance
He has done things by half:
Lies been a Jolly joke on him
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha. ha! He is one of the Legion
Lose:
He was never meant to win:
Hes a rolling stone, and it's bred
in the bone:
He's man who won't fit in"
