 The automobile men will have a duty to perform.
 They expect to put before the com- mission schedule of licenses which they have prepared and which they consider of an equitable nature.
 The schedule was drawn and ap- proved at a meeting of local automo- ~lle dealers. held in Hubert Drennen's onlce at the Drennen Motor company Friday afternoon. The dealers decided that they couldn't see their way clear to meet the schedule recently prepared by the commission. They don't feel that licenses ranging anywhere from Sl00 to $500 are exactly what they shouls be- And they'll tell the com rolssier so in a nice. friendly sort of way wnen they go before them to- morrow r-orning at II o'clockl
 And that brings to mind something that one of the prominent local deal CTS said abs 1t an automobile dealers associations

There's no use talk ing, organization certainly helps, and there are times when it's about the only way to accomplish the end de- sired, The local dealers should get together and form an organization that would stand for something, one that would be worthy of the high grade dealers we have in Birming ham,"

 ADVANCED POSITION
Lawrence Pennington Talks of Success of the Paige
 Detroit Co.

Starting the new year the seventh season of it's history. with s5.000,000 worth of bona fide orders on it's books, the Paige Detroit Motor Car company stands out as one of the exceptional successes of the industry, according to Lawrence Pennington, local manager of the Paige Detroit Motor company
 "The president of the company Harry M. levitt, accounts for this wonderful growth and development and the popu- larity of the car with the public by the fact that the Paige cars have occupied on numerous occasions an advanced position in the progress of the motor car.
 MT levitt points to certain important and significant features the Paige was first to adopt. The Paige was the first to build into the motor of car in the 5000 class an electric starting and lighting system. It was also the first to offer in this class a car with fore doors, and so on, the multiple disc cork insert clutch. and many other features ''

eminent and public with a surprise
as 'electrifying as his mediatory note
to the belligerents. With the exception
OF the Manchester Guardian and the
Daily News, which are the only papers
in Great Britain that can be classified
as paciflcatory in policy, the press
gives the Presidents utterances an un-
friendly reception and engages in
much speculation over the meaning,
which, it is considered, may be con-
cealed behind certain passages.
Public men interviewed begin with
courteous tribute to hte Presidents
good intentions, and end by support
ing Great Britain's measures. While
the government can not make any
direct reply to a communication from
the President to the United States
Senate, there is certain to be discus

Possible action by the American
Congress on committing the nation to
