The facilities for vulcanizing and repair ing have been greatly extended and huge business is now being done in retrea ding and working over old tires that would have formerly been thrown away as worthless.

 Company Makes Parts
 With shouts of joy the motorists of Alabama will hail the advent of the w. E. Richardson Machine company into the field. This company is mak- ing parts of every description for every make of car ever made. It is stated that the prices for the work are reasonable and commensurate with the quality of material and work manship used.

 Bradley J. Saunders. "The Truck Man." is still batting around his 1000 per cent in the truck league Several signed orders were on his desk dur ing the week and more coming in. It appears that there is more difficulty in getting the trucks than in finding the buyers. The Selden is being used more extensively every day in this territory as the result of his efforts.

 An unusual increase in sales for the past month is reported by the Southern Tire and Accessory con- pany, distributors of Dreadnaught tires. The company is rapidly ex- banding under the new management "A neighbor with an auto is one of the poor mans rarest bless ings."-Milestones

Shifting

With most cars, particularly those
 equipped with a plate clutch, one may shift from first directly into high n starting with normal load on smooth pavements. The inexperienced driver should not attempt it. but the veteran will find that he can easily gain enough speed in first to make the shift directly into high without difficulty. Do not do it in heavy going or with heavy load.

Tighten Snring Clips

Take care to keep the spring clips tight. Axles break in the center almost invariably because of loose spring clips. Looseness in the clips also makes the springs more likely to squeak. Keeping the springs fabricated not only prevents squeaking but makes the car ride easier and avods breakage.

SPROUL SAYS HE
SACANDIDATE
Not Man of Any Faction, De-
clares Delaware Senator,
in Announcing Ambition

Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 11.-Senator
William C. Sproul, Father of the
Pennsylvania Senate" announced
here last night that he would be a
candidate for Governor. The Sena-
tors announcement came after nu-
merous conferences with Western
PENNSYLVANIA Republican leaders
and when the Senator appeared at
the dinner to Ex-Mayor Armstrong,
he received an ovation.
In announcing his aspirations Sem
ator Sproul said:
II am going to run for Governor.
| am not being urged to run by any
body. | am the candidate of no fac
ton. 1t happens that yesterday / met
Theodore Roosevelt. Perhaps l am
like him. Without waiting to discuss
the situation I will simply say that
| am a candidate for Governor and
will make the run. Governor Brum-
baugh has issued a statement in
which he has discussed the political
situation. l am sure that the Gov
ernor did not have me in mind when
he made that statement"
Senator Sprouts announcement, of
course, was the big feature of the
conference of the day. 1t was made
just before the opening of the dinner
to Joseph G.. Armstrong, the retiring
Mayor of this city. Although Senator
Penrose declined to commit himself
publicly on the question of the Gov
ernorship, it was plain among his
allies that Sproul was the candidate.
Sentiment on the Governorship,
Senator Penrose said, not only has
not "crystalliZed," but that it was not
intended that it should, the purpose
of his visit here, the first he has been
able to make in over a year, was, ne
said to learn the sentiment of the
party leaders to have it expressed
openly and freely, and then to have
the party prepared to go into the
spring primaries to put forth its best
effort.
Admitting he had found some sem
timent in western counties for State
Chairman Crow for the nomination
for Governor, Senator Penrose, an
swering a question put Immediately
afterward. said also he had not yet
been informed that Senator Crow
had reconsidered his declination to
run for Governor made some time
ago. Crow himself laughed away the
talk to-day, but made no state
ment.
Senator Penrose gave the following
as candidates suggested to him in
the conferences: For Governor, w G,
Sproul, State Chairman William c.

WHEN CHRISTIANITY BECAME ORGANIZED
The International Sunday School Lesson For January Is
"Jesus Begins His Work."-Mark 112-2o
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS

and hungry young man, worn with
his long vigil of forty foodless days,
the Temptation appeared. There is
no need to apparel him in horns
and hoofs; the devil wears evening
clothes ottener han the rig of red.
A well fed man may not be
tempted by food; but a starving
man may. 1t is amazing how the
elemental wants, food, shelter,
warmth, appeal to even the highest
reason. And Jesus was hungry. So
Satan had him turn the stones into
bread. Now it surely was Gods
will that his Son should be fed
but not in Satan's way. Better hun
ser than dishonor. Allegiance to
evil is too high price to pay for
life.
More subtle was the second on
slaught. When Jesus would not re-
spcnd to a physical allurement, He
was attacked in His faith. These
spiritual temptations are usually
more powerful than those of the
flesh. Prove yourself and God by
casting yourself down from the pin
naclc of the temple; the angels will
bear you up" said the Evil One glib
to quote Scripture. Faith exercised
needlessly and. at sins behest, is
fclly.
The third allurement was to take
a short cut to his dominion and
kingdom by compromising with the
devil. I'll agree to let you have
the world if you will acknowledge
yourself feudatory to me. Let me
be oVerlord and you may be King
OF kings" This was nothing else
than the common temptation to
compromise: "the end justifies -the
means. By the devils program,
Jesus would escape shame and sor-
row and rejection and Calvary. But
He knows that Gods crowns are to
be earned in Gods way, so he cried:
Get thee hence, Satan, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God"
The Hills of Home
Nearly year elapsed between the
temptation of Jesus and His calling
OF the first disciples. Jesus had
turned his face back to Galilee, His
boyhood home. Amid the excite
ment of life in Jerusalem His hu-
man heart often turned longingly
toward the sweet hills over which
he had ranged in boyhood. He
longed for sight of the wild-flow-
ers that he loved, and for the fresh
broezes that blow over Galilee. The
heart of man is hungry for home;
no other spot on earth seems quite
so attractive as that in which he
spent his boyhood.
The big heavy boats of GaliIee-
l have ridden in them, and | have
seen them half filled with fish
could not be handled by one man:
they needed team work. Jesus
called to his service men who were
used to working with men. That IS
first quality for success in organ
lied service. The ability to get
along with fellow workers, and to
help and be helped, neither over
latlns nor undertaking an associate,
is talent which often counts for
more than genius.
What if James and John, with
approved business sagacity, had re-
piled to the invitation of the Mas
ter: Cant you see that it is OBJ
Niously impossible for us to leave

INT Had a Perfectly
Innocent Ancestor

Trinitrotoluene, the trotyl of the
Germans and the INT of the Amer
leans and British, is the most power
full and the most commonly used ex-
plosive of to-day. High explosive
shells are loaded with it. 1t is the
force which makes the torpedo eff
fective, or which endangers subma-
rines when, in depth bombs, it is cX-
ploded in their vicinity. 1t was trim
itrotoluene which caused the recent
disaster in Halifax.
And this substance, holding such
great potential powers of destruction
in its seemingly innocent pale yell
low or white crystals, is a product
of our harmless domestic coal tar.
Or rather it is a grandson, as it We're,
OF coal tar. Toluene, more common
ly known as methyl benzine, is the
base of trinitrotoluene, and toluene
is derived through process of dis
tillation from coal tar.
Toluene contains much hydrogen,
and in the process of manufactur-
ing trinitrotoluene these hydrogen
atoms are replaced by nitro groups.
This process of nitrosubstitution per-
mits many variations in the arrange
ment of the nitro groups, and hence
chemists are able to produce twelve
different trinitrotoluenes, each vary
ing from the others in boiling point,
melting point, solubility, specific
gravity and sensitiveness to detona-
ton.
Trinitrotoluene in its natural state
is in the form of pale yellow or
white crystals, but in loading shells
or bombs these crystals are melted,
and in a fluid state the explosive Is
poured into its case, where 1t Is
sealed under pressure. In the form
most commonly used it's sensitive
ness to detonation is so slight that it
is necessary to use detonator OF
mercury illuminate. Because of this
lack of sensitiveness it is onesof the
safest explosives to handle, but at
the same time it's explosive force, oc-
casioned by the rapid expansion OF
small quantity of the solid into q
greater volume of gas, is greater
than that of any of its cousins, such
as the dynamites and nitroglycerin,
