Government control has caused a sud
den drop in the price of hides. Within
the past week the price has declined
from four to five cents pound and
calf skins from ten to twelve cents a

those who know is that the leather
trust is just becoming a trifle alarmed
since the government came along and
did some regulating.

 are two things which it should not be.
 The modern automobile club to be a suc- cess should be a civic organization and IL should be democratic. It should not be social club or a dealers organization, AS such 1t would not be representative or the great mass of automobile owners. These terms and admonitions are capable or modlf1cations. It is possible for suc- cessful motor organization to incorporate some slight features from each of the tabooed sources, but just as soon as the flavor of too much trade promotion or too much sociability becomes evident the club is failing to realize the peculiar and particular opportunity which is pre- sented to motor organizations in Ameri- can. life today.
 Tt seems hardly necessary to call att tention to the opportunity for successful effort on the part of the club as a civic organization. To dwell upon this sub- Ject would be to reflect upon the intel ngence of Birmingham and Alabama mo- torists
 Coming to the second requirement. de- mocracy, we are fond of referring to the fact that the motor car is no longer the toy Of the rich.

eff there is one thing that Birmingham Mutoists need more than another. it is 8 live energetic automobile club, organ ized along the right lines,' said Percy Warner Than, sales manager of the Robert D. Maxwell Co, Studebaker dis tributors, to an Age-Herald representa- tive recently. Not only do Birmingham motorists need this club, but the whole territory adjacent to Birmingham needs 1t, and might say, the entire state.
 At this time, with the approaching good roads meeting, it seems particularly apropos to bring up the question of an automobile club, which, if properly con ducted, can be of untold assistance in the promotion of good roads movements, and above all, maintenance of roads. It is nothing short of national disgrace the way money has been spent on good roads all over the country without thought to systematic maintenance. I recently drove from Detroit to Birmingham by way of Cleveland and Cincinnati and after approximately 10 years spent on the magnificent roads one finds abroad E begin to think that my own country has completely lost its head in the mat ter of modern road building.
 s"The usefulness of a club is oftimes most evidenced in what 1t can do toward good legislation and it seems to me that the automobile legislation in the state of Alabama needs revising. There is room for great improvement in the way cars are regulated in Birmingham.
 Too much care cannot be exercised in the organization of an automobile club It should be a business organization, pure and simple, with secretary. draw
