Trading Is Light
On Wall Street Today

New York, Jan. 4.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
The course of prices in today's stock
market was variable and trading was
lighter in volume In view of the
known intention og the president to
address congress at 1890 o'clock, it
was natural there should have been
some hesitatiop AS soon a Wall Street
got a diget of what Mr.. Wilson said
on the subject of railroad control, the
industrial and railroad list advanced
a point or so, only to recede and then
advance again The outstanding fea-
ture of the address was, perhaps, the
definite stand of the president against
government control after the war.
Prices at the opening were higher
and in the first hour good demand
for the rails developed. Later thtre
was a general reaction. At midday the
list again yielded and in the early
afternoon rose and fell in waves.
Trading was fairly active in the
last hour.

uled automobile express lines being opened up between different cities throughout the east, but manufacturers are finding it advisable to furnish their salesmen with automobiles in order that they may not be dependent upon un- satisfactory train service.
 The results in all cases where motor vehicles are being tried seem highly sat- isfactory, and it is quite likely that even after the war is over and conditions have again become normal, that great CT appreciation will be had of the desira- bility of automobile communication.
 DRIVEWAYS PERMANENT
 For example, the war has brought about with our firm the necessity for in- sisting that dealers in adjacent terri tory or even territory within several hundred miles, come to the factory and drive what cars they order home them selves instead of having them shipped. This has proved very satisfactory, and, aS even under normal conditions several days could be saved, it is quite likely to be continued right along.
 Another important outcome of the war is the greater consideration auto mobile owners are giving to the gasoline their cars consume for each mile they are run. In the past little thought has been given to this question, but now, with our double needs for gasoline, the issue must be faced. War requirements alone are over 100000 gallons of gaso- line per day, and as the total daily pro- duction in the United States is but G. 849 GOO gallons, the greatest conservation is necessary in order that shortage may not occur"

MILLER TIRE C0. OPENS NEW STORE Roy Kay, We'll Known Tire Man, Is Selected as Manager

At last the auto owners will have the pleasure of going into local store for Miller tires, tubes and free service. The. Miller Tire company has just opened large store at 406 South Twentieth street, where they will carry a large stock or the famous Miller, products The Miller Tires need no introduction in Birming- ham. For the past few years hundreds of motorists have demanded them for the reason that they give uniform satisfac tion The policy of the Miller factory is to make the best regardless of costa precautionary protection to Miller tire users.
 Roy Kay, local manager, states that the Miller service in Birmingham is to be next to none. Every motorist who uses Millers is to be satisfied in every sense of the word. MT. Kay has just returned from the factory and states that his visit has been most instruc- tive one, especially in the manufacture of tires. He tells of the skilled men who build Miller tires by hand and the rigid tests that they undergo constantly to keep up that standard uniformity of the wOrlSmen.
 Even the office boys at the Miller fac- tory are so interested and enthusiastic in the production of tires that they really believe that the factory could not exist without their services, states MT. Kay. They work with an ambition and that ambition IS to produce the service that builds the high quality Miller tires. Mr. Kay extends an invitation to the mo- toristss of Alabama to visit the new store, where every courtesy will be ex- tended

There will be no motor smashups , with General Pershing's army if the experts in Washington can prevent it. Every feature of the trucks and cars that make up part of Uncle Sam's fighting forces abroad are in spected and groomed with minute care before the motors are permitted to leave American shores. There must be no failures at the firing lines, these experts declare, and to make good their words they are giv- ing close attention to car parts or dinarily overlooked by the average car owner and truck driver.
 One of these features relates to brakes. In France, all kinds of traf- fc and roads are expected to be en- countered. Often times the success or failure of a great war move, these experts say, might depend on the failure of the dispatch cars or trans ports moving men or munitions up to the firing lines. One of the most important features of the advance preparation is to see that the brakes of the cars and trucks are the best that can be found. Accordingly, for months, men in the same big build

ing where the Liberty Motor was born have been conducting experi- ments with brakes and brake linings, with the result that many of the war cars now abroad are equipped with thermoid hydraulic compressed brake lining, approved by the war experts which, it is said, will neither grip in wet weather, nor slip in dry weather. This brake lining is also designed to give the greatest length of life and service.
 Government Backs Movement.
 The attention the government is giving to brake lining has started a national movement among motor leaders for national brake inspec- tion campaign, urging car and truck owners to see that their brakes are inspected regularly. The movement has the endorsement of the police authorities in Washington and has teen taken up by the Motor Truck Club of America. It has been ap- proved by traffic officials in leading cities and promises to become as sweeping as the campaign against glaring headlights.
 Brakes, motor experts declare, are of even greater importance than the

J. F. Bowman. vice president and general manager of the Acason Motor Truck company of Detroit is strong ly in favor of movement to bring about the loading of all trucks with merchandise when these trucks are being delivered by roads to dealers and distributors throughout America. Mir Bowman believes that in this way much good will be done in relieving the freight congestion and in saving iwa ste, energy which comes about through driving the trucks through the country without load. There are being established in many parts of America what are known as reload bu- reaus, and these organizations will gather together vast amounts of mer- chandise which may very easily be taken to destination by trucks which ordinarily would travel empty. Ex- penses of delivery of trucks would in this way be brought to very low point. thus saving in the freight sit- uation and also in the expenses of de- livery.

Motorist Should Use
 Pacific Coast Products


 As the war goes on the need for conservation in every direc- tion is constantly increasing. Not only must we conserve food and fuel but we must relieve the railways as much as DOS slble for war needs. One way Tn which this can be effectively done is to use products made at home. President Wilson, him self, has urged us to fuse the products of the local factories" in orderto save locomotives and frleght cars for the war depart ment.
 The Pacific coast produces a large quantity of things which are the equal, if not better than similar goods brought from the East. Among these are many of the products used by motor 1sts. This is particularly true of lubricating oils.
 Government and other ex- perts have long recognized the unsurpassed qualities of the lu- brlcating oils refined from Cali fornla asphalt-base crude.
