Just one more week, and then all Ala bama will be headed Birminghamward to attend the great automobile show.
 Just one more week and Birmingham automobile men will be welcoming their guests, and reveling in the extreme pleas ure to be derived from showing the goods one handles under the most convincing and ideal conditions
 For certainly no conditions could be more ideal than those enclosed within the four walls of the auditorium at Fifth avenue and Nineteenth. street. In the first place. the decorations are thing of beauty and joy forever" Flowers are hanging everywhere, and within a few days all the lamps will be hung, the gaily coored lights will be turned on, and the show will be ready.
 It's keeping the office force at head quarters pretty busy answering in- quiries in regard to the show and Ted Brownell, chairman of the show commit tee, says he hardly has time to breathe, a very necessary function to be per formed by the chairman of a committee that's putting on such an automobile show as the one we are going to have. you must admit.
 However of course, he really does take time to breathe, but he hasn't any spare minutes these days, because he's busy all the time telling people about the show or answering letters from people over the state, who want to know just what days will be the best for visiting the show, and of if ha choir a in doesn't mind, because he's thinking of those thousands of people that are com ing to Birmingham, and will be passed inside the auditorium gates and will go away singing the praises of Birmingham and everything therein.
 The programme which was recently an nounced shows that there are to be some ~big nights at the show. But there'll be something doing all the time, and it won't be at all necessary to wait for the "spe- cial days" to have good time
 In addition to the automobile show, the week of March will be marked by the meeting in Birmingham of the State Au- tomobile Dealers association. At the re- cent meeting, the ssociatioAadjo djourned to meet again here during the show, and President Red Smith says that some live subjects are to be discussed.
