mining, manufacturing, or if we are out for just plain pleasure. So. at this time it behooves every owner of an automobile to fall in line with the proclamation that Governor Henderson will issue, wherein he will aes!gnate the days of August 14 and 15 as good roads days-for the people of Ala bama. ou may have to set out le old rusty spade, the little red turning blow, or shoulder the long since used pick-but il Is real patroslc serNlee that you will render and Sop ought to, by all means, get on the job and stay from sun to sun for this pair of of- ficial days.
 Asa Rountree is pulling all the wires he can work and Asa is some lineman in the good roads game, too, you VIII have to admit it-for he is secretary of everything that tends to improve the tallways of the nation-and he is now proelaiming over 8 states through the governors of those states, using the United States Good Roads association and it's powers to make these two days official and then he has the Alabama Good Roads asso- ciation and the Bankhead Highway association crowding their respective territory for recognition, also.
 sAutomobilists are aware of what good roads have done for Alabama, and they should get in on the going now while it is good, and boost the game, as the government may take over these highways and make reg uglar race tracks of them, so to speak, and then. oh, boy! the joy of riding on rubber, everywhere you go, eat ing ozone instead of smoke and cin- derS.

The extent of the former Czar's own private treasury may be gauged from the fact that he was able at the time of the Japanese war to con- tribute a lump sum of $20,000,000 to the war fund, and it Is estimated that from all sources he has been drawing an income of more than f10,00o,000 a year.

IS good roads, and we want them right now. When I was boy and you were about the same size, if anybody had talked to us about building good roads with bond issues, that is taxing our property to pay the freight, why our daddies would have shouldered the old fiintlock musket and there would have been one of the durndest revo- lutions in Walker county that ever took place-it would have made the doings in foreign lands. where dis sension Is always at white heat, look like a pink tea. But now we are civil ized; we are coming to the point where we must have good roads at any price. and we must pay for them and in- crease the value of our property and lesson the expense of transporting our products to the town or city where we find the market that we want I want to tell you something right now, they talk to me about Andrew Car negie being a philanthropist, why he ain't no philanthropist, he is a piker He has built libraries all over this land of ours with shelves in them as tall as the Washington monument Brussels carpet on the floors knee deep, stair cases of the whitest mar ble resembling what I imagine I will find in heaven, if we ever get good roads and I can quit cussing long enough to arrange to get there-and yet. my fellow citizens, there ain't a volume in all of those thousands and thousands of books bound in every thing from paper to lambskin. that contains a word smaller than Con- stantinople." Tell me he is a philan- thropist? Nav. he aint, and you know ft-the man who builds good roads Is the real philanthropist'
 So, taking Toms version of 1t, sim mering 1t down to bedrock, you will, find he is right-and there is not a single apostle of things gaseous or those drawn by horses or mules, but who will say, Amen! and call for the second spasm.
 GOOD ROADS NEEDED
 Alabama needs good roads wherever there Is bad one, whether it is out on North Twenty-fourth street, where. I live, or in Walker county. We have got to have em if we do busi- ness successfully in the farming game,

"RED. IN TRUE FORM

Red Smith, the big wholeSouled brick dust blonde who has the hap py faculty of liking that mon de plume" he has sailed under ever since he washed his hair one day and failed to dry it-and it rusted on him-is getting to be a regu- lar "buggar" in the Prexy game. He signs checks now with his right hand and takes orders with his left, and never suffers with the cramp In either fin. Red is one of the versatile twirlers of the au- mobile league. and whenever he goes in for a game he works with either hand Before I got hold of the managerial end of the Saund- | CTS Motor company I thought that a good right-hander had every thing and that it was never neces- sary to switch wings, even with the cushions packed but now I find that southpawing Is the real fine point of the game and by combining my stuff I have been able to put the Westcott-that au- tomobile that runs like new sewing machine-on the map in big numbers. The people of Bir- mingham are eating this car up like it, oh boy-I am likely to sell a million of them some day if I keep up this average said Red, when pressed for an inter- view.
 8 MAXWELLS IN ONE DAY
 The Maxwell car has an appeal to the man with economy in his eye from the corner to the pupil, just like you fellows always notice when they walk in and begin to figure on the why's and wherefores of becoming an owner. This five passenger model touring car is as popular as the boy at the club dance with the pocket piece would be in Birmingham right now. 1t Is a moderate priced car and has the Recommending ability of the highbrow wagons.
 We are selling more Maxwell trucks than we can get and it is useless to create demand for something that we cannot fur nish." said Manon DeShazo, of the DeShazo Motor company, local dealers in Maxwells.
 The operating expense of touring car Is no greater than roadster. and it is Just as eco nomical, so even the salesman and doctors are using the touring cars in preference to the roadsters now. The touring car has greater con veniences also and that causes the preference. Last week we deliv- cred IS touring cars and could have sold more if we had had them. The trucks that the Maxwell com pany puts out. a one-ton truck, is equipped with pneumatic or solid tires, and it is getting to be very popular with dairymen and gro- cerymen We now have our first shipment of cavorlets, but on se- dans we are sold ahead" said MT. DeShazo.

NINETY MILES THE LIMIT

MIN Fl MlLES HE LINIl
 Fairview citizens may have been classed by some folks as slow, es- pecially in the days when that part of Birmingham was one of the ''rhu- barbs' of the Magic City, but not now, for two reasons. First, it is now a part and parcel of Birmingham, just the same as Twentieth street In the heart of the city; second it has a sign posted on the main street which swift ly remarks: Speed limit 90 miles an hour"
 Now, this may be interpreted most any way, but it would seem that these long pestered citizens are mak- ing sport of something that they are unable to get the cops to attend to stop the speeders They have just de cided that the best thing to do is to take the situation humorously and allow the speeders to run their course; in fact kidding them along the death route of 90 miles an hour, until final- ly there won't be so many of them to annoy Fairviewers.
