THE BUCK ON THE { ,, :, FEWER ROUTE

In proportion to population Birmingham has one of the most thriving and up-to- date automobile districts in the United States. While there is no automobile manufacturing plant here, numerous shops of all descriptions are at the service of the automobile owner who might wish for any kind of repairs, painting, over hauling or other work done on his car whether it is old or new. speciality is made on auto tops and curtains.
 w. H. Luquire, Jr, runs a plant of this nature. For the past 14 years this pro- gressive automobile man has been build- ing automobile and wagon bodies, doing all sorts of repairing, painting, forging, enameling and oxy-aceteline welding w. H. Luquire, Jr., Is the proprietor of the plant John Luquire, his brother is gen. eral manager Both men are practical ex- perts in their lines and the class of work they turn out is excellent. The building is located on Avenue c between Twen- ty-frst and Twenty streets It is 50 feet wide and 100 feet deep, with two stories.
 A massive elevator is equipped to carry
 
 second floor to be painted and overhauled Numerous machines of the latest type are scattered all over the first floor. These machines are for wood work as well as the working of iron and steel into practi- cal pieces to be used in the structure of all sorts of vehicles. More than 25 men are kept busy the year round. One of the largest wagons ever built in Birmingham is about to be completed in the shops of Luquire. It is a huge proposition and when completed will have a hauling ca pacity of 100000 pounds. Moore & Hand- ley are the owners. The body is IS rect in length and feet wide. The axles are inches square, made of wrought steel The tires on the massive wheels are ono inch thick and three and one-nau 4ne44., wide. The weight of the monster is 5000 pounds. It was built from one end to the other in the shop of Luquire. This con- cern is certainly fully equipped to build anything in the automobile line from horn to body lenders and hood.

NEW SAFETY IDEA

With the idea of promoting safe au- tomobile driving at night, why would it not be feasible to paint the telegraph and telephone poles near to a dangerous curve. bridge or fill, thereby decreasing the danger to motorists?" says Wallace c. Hood, president of the Wallace c. Hood Service bureau, Dime Bank build ing, Detroit.
 ''rhis plan would, I believe, effectively serve to warn the automobile driver of danger and enable him to avoid it.
 My idea would be to paint both the telephone and telegraph poles about 10 feet from the ground and a 5-foot strip This entire strip could be painted white with strong red strip in the center andS say. about 10 poles so painted on each side of the point of danger No doubt, at railroad crossings the railroad officials themselves would be only too glad to cooperate, for the reason that very many crossing are obscure and therefore cannot be readily seen by the mctorist until 1t is too late. This method would save many railroad crossing acci- dents and fatalities and would unques- tionably decrease the number of damage suits brought against the railroad compa- nies by the victims relations"

Father Spends Fortune of
$4,000 in Vain Attempt
to Save Son From Chair

Bellefonte, Pa, Sept. 27.-Harry E.
Filler, the Altoona man who shot and
killed Jacob Blank at Greensburg in
August, 1914. was electrocuted at the
new penitentiary early to-day. The
body was claimed by the young mans
father. H. K. Filler, of Altoona, who
will take IL home for burial.
Filler walked to the electrocution
room and sat down in the chair with
out the least show of fear or trepi-
dation. He made no statement of any
kind. In fact, he did not speak a word
of farewell to the prison officials.
The condemned mans father did not
let up in his attempts to save his son
until last night, when he finally learned
that the Governor would not intervene,
and it is said that he spent a fortune
of $4,000 in his efforts to save him
from the death chair.
