NEW FACTORY MGR.
 FOR FRISCO PLANT
A. c. Leverton, Formerly With Chalmers, Will Be
 New Superintendent

Announcement has been made by Vice President in charge Of Manufacture S. H Humphrey of the Briscoes Motor corpor- ation, of Jackson, Mich, of the appoint ment of A. c. Leverton, formerly gen eral superintendent of the Chalmers com- pany, as factory manager said c. F Hammond, manager of the Flint Motor Car company.
 k "Mr. Leverton is well known in auto mobile manufacturin circles and man who has won a name for himself in the production end.
 Previous to his joining the Chalmer's company, Mr. Leverton was works man. 'ager of the Carter Car company and be- fore that was general superintendent o1 the Brush Runabout company. Tn joining the Briscoe company, MT Leverton is affiliating himself with bunch of his old business colleagues, ir the personages of MT. Frank Briscoe, vice president and general manager of the
 Briscoe company; MT. $. H. Humphrey vice president in charge of manufacture and MT. A. B. Willemin, supervisor o1 purchases Each man of this quartette played an important role in the gala days of the Brush runabout

was buying who did not come out with a final profit. It takes a long-headed, patient man to do this, however, and patience is not one of the redeeming virtues of the American people.
 Some observant financiers, including one of the ablest in the country the Hon. A. Barton Hepburn of New York, think that they see slight halt in the wave of prosperity that we have been enjoying by reason of the war abroad. They fear marked but temporary subsistence of this wave on the conclusion of peace, which may not be far off. Observers also think that in some lines of business promotion of new securities has been overdone and that the mass of 'indigesti- ble securities" as the late J. P. Morgan called them, may prove to be a drug upon the market.
 I note that English papers are inclined to believe that peace may come suddenly and unexpectedly, though not in the near future. Many who recall the bit terness of the contest abroad believe that 1t will prolong the struggle for two or the resources of some of the contending parties are more nearly exhaustd A break down in Austria is first looked for
 The greatest prosperity factor. outside of the crop situation, so far as this coun- try is concerned is the presidential cleo tion. It does not escape observation that as election day approaches the leaders of both political parties are expressing a greater interest in the consideration of business. The voters are making up

South a Nation Builder

From Leslie s.
 An ardent advocate of the south's place in history making is Miss Mildred Lewis Rutherford, historian general of the United Daughters of the Confeder- cay. Before 1860 the country had IS Presidents, Il of whom were southern men. John Fiske, the New England historian whom Miss Rutherford speaks as "so unjust in many ways to the south," nevertheless says that the five men who shaped the American nation were Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Marshall and Hamilton, all but the last named being from the south. The fol- lowing impressive list of southern men and their achievements is given by Miss Rutherford:
 The Father of the Constitution-Madt- son.
 The Father of his Country-wash- ington.
 The Father of the Declaration-Jef- ferson.
 The Father of States Rights-Patrick Henry
 Laurens.
 The Great Expounder of the Consti- tution-John Marshall
 The Supreme Political Thinker of the Age-George Mason. -
 The Great Pacifcator-Henry Clay.
 The Great Nullifer-John c. Cal houn.
 The Pathfinder of the Ocean Matthew Maury.
 The names of Laurens, Mason and Maury may not be very familiar to the average person, but the constructive statesmanship of Washington, Jefferson and Madison, and the interpretation of the constitution in the decisions of Mar shall of Virginia and Fancy of Mary land for 60 years at the head of the supreme court, cannot be excelled in the history of any nation. Five eighths of the men who fought in the Revolu- tion were from the southern colonies, while in the Mexican war two-thirds were fro mthe southern states. It was Thomas Jefferson who added the Louis- ianna purchase to our territory; James Monroe, another southern President, who bought Florida and announced the famous doctrine that has kept the Americas for Americans; Cyrus Mo- Cormick of Virginia. who invented the reaping machine; James Gatling of North Carolina, who invented the gat- ling gun. and Francis Scott Key of Maryland, who wrote "The Star Spangled Banner"

.PEARY STICKS 10
 NORTH POLE STORY
Reiterates Confidence in Ex- istence of Crockerland,
 Which He Claims Seeing

New York, August 26-Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary reiterates his confi- dence in the existence of Crock erland and his belief that he saw it in July, 1906. The admirals statement tele- graphed to the Tribune from his sum- mer place In Maine, was called forth by the fact that Ensign Fitzhugh Green, the naval officer assigned to the MacMillan Crockerland Arctic ex- petition, made no report of whether the expedition found Crockerland in announcing to the navy department his safe arrival at Copenhagen on Au- gust 19.
 After quoting from his original nar- rative of his expedition, the story of his first view of what he believed to be Crockerland Rear Admiral Peary said:
 Tt may be that MacMillan and I were both misled by the nearly per- marent clouds of condensation over persistent lanes of water. Or unusual refraction which occurs in the Arctic regions may have lifted into view land that was in realty well below the horizon and my estimate of the dis tance of Crockerland may have been too moderate It will be well to await the completion of Stefanssons discov- cries before dismissing .Crockerland. .'

PASSING THE BUCK ON THE
 ;. NRnps, FEWER ROUTE

The motorists of Birmingham will take some steps this week to perfect an organization to attempt to lower the prevailing gasoline price here. While there has been a great deal of talk in this regard during the past week, no action of a definite nature has been taken.
 Automobile dealers as well as owners are unanimous in protesting against the alleged exorbitant price of 24 cents Der gallon for an inferior grade of gasoline. It is hard for the people of Birmingham to understand why the gasoline companies persist in charging them higher price for gasoline than any other city in the country.
 One of the plans suggested to break the death grip" of the companies on prices is to have the entire automo- bile public make deal with some one concern operating in Birmingham whereby they will buy all gasoline from this one company provided the price is brought down to a reasonable figure. As to the other four companies, the policy in the event this plan is adopted, would be to buy nothing from them at any price.
 One thing is certain, the people of this town are tired of the unfair ad- vantage the oil companies are taking of them by showing unheard of prices down their throats. Action of the right sort will be taken and that will not be long. Until some remedy Is enforced the public will remain in it's present at- titude of contempt for the octupus.
 E. c. Creel, special representative of the Chevrolet, is visiting the Edwards Motor company, local distributors of the Chevrolet. Herbert Baum and A. M. George were among the number of purchasers of Chevrolets last week.
 T. l.. Mangrum of Troy, driving a Chevrolet, arrived in Birmingham yes- terday He averaged 23 miles to a gal lon of gasoline on the trip. And at that the price of gasoline in Troy is not as high as it is in this burg.
 England Watson and Love, Frisco agents at Lincoln, sold IT cars thus far for the month of August. Some record.
 The Flint Motor company will un- load a car of Velies and car of Briscos tomorrow. This organization, under the management of c. P. Ham mond, is fast becoming one of the livest aggregations in the city.
 Chester Alexander, who left the Saunders Motor company to go with the Overland Birmingham company, is back with the Saunders Motor company again. Chester has long been recog- nized for his salesmanship. The Hudson Super Sizes will be in the hands of a capable salesman in Chester Alexan- der.
 Al Watkins and D. R. Minhinnett of the Overland Birmingham company are placing Overlands as fast as deliveries can be received. L. P. Mott is holding his own with this crowd and likewise placing some of the Overlands on the streets.
 Hubert and Donald Drennen are still in Atlantic City. They will not return before the latter half of this week.
 Martin Klyce and Charley Hawley of the Birmingham Motor company con- tinue to remain in high speed, speak ing from an automobf standpoint.
 Ray Bolton and Johnny Tomlin are Ford-ing the streets of this city as fast as cars can be obtained.

STOCK DODGE DOES
 WONDERS IN VALLEY
Death Valley Is Scene for Thrilling Feats Performed
 by Stock Car

Since the country has become familiar with the many thrilling feats of Death Valley Dodge" the famous Dodge Brothers car that traversed Death Val ley descended into the Grand Canyon and made many other exciting trips, there have been many inquiries as to whether this car had been specially built for rough work.
 In order to present an authoritative statement, Dodge Brothers asked o. K Parker, the Los Angeles engineer who drove the car on it's many hazardous journeys, to make declaration on this point.
 In response, MT. Parker said:
 Death Valley Dodge is car No. 474, manufactured by Dodge Brothers It is, and always has been absolutely stock throughout. Not a single change was ever made in the car the only addition to it being that of spotlight for night driving i'll the mountains, and the addi- ton Of rope bumper swung between the front springs to enable the car to mash 1t way through the cactus, mesquite brush and greasewood through which the car is forced, as shown in the motion pictures.
 T will gladly make affidavit to the
 
 that not single break ever occurred in Death Valley Dodge on any of it's trips The drive through eight miles of sand dunes and terrific heat on the floor of Death Valley was probably the most strenuous trip ever recorded in the an- nals Of the western motoring. From that scorching trip below sea level, Death Valley Dodge was sent to the highest point ever reached by automobiles on the Pacific coast, where it successfully ne- gotiated the great Glacial moraine re- zion of the High Sierras over two miles above sea level. After 25OOO miles of driving into and through almost every desert in western America, Death Valley Do6ge was driven last month to the bot tom or Grand Canyon in Arizona. The motion picture camera recorded the car being driven to the edge of the rapids of the Colorado river, where walls of the canyon lowered over mile in precipitous height above the car It was then driven to the highest point on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, 5000 feet above the floor Of the gorge, point never reached before by automobile. The combination of strenuous records held by Death Val ley Dodge represents the toughest mile age of driving ever undertaken in Amer ica. 4xl.Fl.lH
 T believe that these statements will answer your inquiry in such a manner as to satisfy the most curious.
 There is one point however, I see have omitted to mention, and that was the question, how many tires were used on the various trips which the car has made? Death Valley Dodge has now been driven over 24,00O miles and in that period of time has had three sets of tires. We have been fortunate in having but few punctures on our trips, and have had but one blowout that being due to running sharp mesquite stub into one pf the rear tires in making one of our flashes through the desert brush

 The man with a long vision wins In Wall street. This means that the win ner must be student of values. He must be familiar with the factors that make for or against prosperity, for Wall street is the barometer of trade. If the outlook is unfavorable to business, it will be reflected by declining ten dency in the stock market, and when conditions favor prosperity they will be forecasted by rise in the financial barometer.
 have never known one who merely "gambled'' in Wall street, that is. one who bought and sold on the chance of winning or losing, who was ever success ful in the end. He might make money by a lucky chance just as he would at a game of cards or throwing dice, but in the end the odds were against him.
 With very few exceptions I have known of no one who invested in Wall street securities with knowledge of what he

 The bonus. as a method of making the employees a partner, is increasingly popular. Representative Heating of Col orado has introduced a bill in the House of Representatives ito drive the stop watch and bonus and premium sys- tems from the government arsenals and workshops, but the hundreds of thou sands of workmen in scores of compa- l nies who have received bonuses are making no protest against the system. The General Chemical company has dis tributed by this method $3,000, 900 among it's 15,000 employees. The United States Steel corporation has recently set aside S5,000 shares of common stock for employees who may pay for it on tho linstallment plan. A bonus is paid an- nually on shares held by employees more than five years. The General Electric company plans to distribute between in two installments, the first install
 ment to be paid August l on the basis of per cent of individual earnings for a six months period to all those who have been with the company for five years or longer. Alexander Smith 6 Sons of Yonkers N. Y.. give employees who have been with the company 10 years 10 per cent of their salaries, and 5 per cent to those with the company between five and 10 years. The Youngs- town Sheet and Tube company in its sixth annual distribution gave $250,- 000.000 to 50000 employees, this being 5 per cent of the wages for 1915. The New Jersey Zinc company of Allen. town. Pa, distributed the same amount among it's employees as a New Years gift The Botany Worsted Mills at Passaic, N. J.. distributed $3700O to 1400 of its employees, and Forstmann & Huffman of the same place $S0,Ooo among 5000. The John B. Stetson com pany celebrated it's fiftieth anniversary by giving $300,000 to it's 4400 employees The Scovil Manufacturing company of Waterbury, Conn.,. and the Crane com pany of Chicago, each made distribu- tion on the basis of 10 per cent of sal aries for the year. the gift of the lat ter company amounting to $7O0, 900. The Garner Print Works and Bleach- cry in Garnerville. N. r., has intro- |duced a bonus plan completed weekly with a 10 per cent bonus. The unioue feature of this plan Is that the percent age of profit sharing fluctuate. accord ing to the quality and amount of work the hands turn out and the amount of waste that is curtailed. The Calu- met G Hecla Mining company has voted Ia 10 per cent bonus computed monthly for the first six months of the year. Many companies are sharing with their employees the increased profits pro- duced by the European war, the du- Pont Powder company. in addition to higher wages, giving a 20 per cent cash bonus payable monthly.

COnstantinople


 Even as the Indian dream has enthralled England for generations. so the Russian imagination dreamed in noble circles Of the possession of Constantinople ever since Peter the Great, writes H. N. Brailsford of London, in the New Republic.
 '"The programme which has resulted from the blending of these two imperial dreams, the British and the Russian, may find itself in opposition, before the war is over, to the more disinterested pur- poses which the entente entertains. If we concentrate our forces on Turkey and if our gains in Turkey cannot be bar tered away, it is possible that some part of our programme for the settlement or sundry claims of nationality m rurope itself will have to be abandoned
 '.The programme itself suggests some uneasy reflections. What, for example, is it bearing on the future liberties of the Balkan states, two of which i've oy access to the Black sea? What again will come of our aspirations to set up some assured international machinery in Europe, if our faith is not equal to the strain of internationalizing the Straits? The extension of our own empire by the acquisition of Mesopotamia will make one argument the more for the permanence of conscripton. Every conquest won by force of arms Is a foundation for the militarism of the future.
 Worst of all, to my thinking, is the bearing of this partition of Turkey on the future mood of Germany. Fatally she had been led to see in Turkey her predestined economic sphere. Close that sphere to her. and at the same time an- nex her colonies and subject her trade to enhanced tariffs, and you beget .n her temper which will drive her first to arm and then to fight. merely that she may live The satisfaction of these two dreams seems in short to compromise all the more avowable purposes of the war. They promise a programme of vic tory. They proclaim the eclipse of the international ideal.'
