may be conferred upon women in the
service Of the army.
To date. no measures have been ia
ken to make similar provision for the
navy, but this will undoubtedly fol-
low. AS it Is, the only war medal
open to the American sailor or naval
officer Is the Congressional Medal of
Honor. This places the marines in
strangely anomalous position with
respect to honors. While at sea, the
marines are under the navy and are
subject TO the rules regarding war
medals obtaining in the navy. But
the marines now in France are under
the army and are technically entitled
to receive any of the new army deco
rations.
There can be no doubt that the
institution of new medals by Presi-
dent Wilson will have beneficial eff
feet upon the morale of the Ameri-
can troops in France. Acts of hero
ism-of which we have already had
more than one instance-deserve rec
ognition, and from the military stand
point such recognition serves better
than anything else as stimulus and
incentive to all the troops. News Of
the presidents action is said to have
been received with the greatest en-
thusiasm by our men now serving in
France.
For Extraordinary Heroism.
The Distinguished Service Cross Is
to be a bronze cross with ribbon. 1t
will be awarded by the president. or
by General Pershing. to any person
who. while serving in any capacity
with the army. shall hereafter dis
tinguish himself or herself. or who.
since April 6. 1917, has distinguished
himself or herself by extraordinary
heroiSm in connection with military
operations against an armed enemy
of the United States or under circum-
stances which do not justify the award
Of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Distinguished Service Medal
will also be of bronze with ribbon.
and will be awarded by the president
to any person who, while serving in
any capacity in the army. shall here
after distinguish himself or herself or
who. since April 6 last. has distin-
guished himself or herself, by excep-
tionally meritOriOus service to the gov
eminent in duty of great RESPONSE
bility in time of war in connection
with military operations against an
armed enemy of the United States.
Thus it will be seen that to win the
n. S. c. it will be almost necessary
for man to see service in France.
while the Distinguished Service Medal
may be won by man whose duties
in the army are confined to this side
of the water.

"Ever-ready" is the watchword of s. J. McMorris. who has just joined the Alabama Storage Battery company in the capacity of vice president and gem eral manager. He probably knows more about the ins and outs of the Eveready line than any other man in the south today, having for the past three years sold these batteries, and was located for the four years prior to that time with the Santa Fe Rail- way company at Chicago, being in charge of the storage battery depart ment.
 MT. McMorris is stranger in Bir- mingham. or more properly 8 new ar rival and is at present not we'll ac- quainted, but expects this to soon be remedied as the large number of GUS toners of the Alabama Storage Bat tery company will give him an in- troduction to a large part of the driv- ers-and owners.
 The Alabama Storage Battery com pany is the state distributor for the Eveready batteries. MT. McMorris ex- pressed his pleasure in being able to locate in Birmingham yesterday. and stated that he was already impatient over the delay in getting a suitable residence that he might bring his fam fly also.

HEARD ABOUT AUTOMOBILES HERE AND THERE
Starting

From Milestones
 If the motor fails to start after it has been standing long on cold night try opening the throttle wide and turn ing the motor over a few times with the spark off, thus sucking a good charge into each of the cylinders. Then switch on the spark and the motor should start at the first turn. One cure for a cold mo- tor that is not known to every beginner
 is to pour a pail of boiling water over the intake maniford and carburetor. This warns up the present-day low grade gas oline so that it vaporizes readily.
 Many beginners make the mistake of using the choker whether the motor is cold or not. If the motor has not yer cooled down from the previous running
 it i; usually not necessary to use the choker with a hot motor is likely to chok&r with hot motor is likely to flooG the cylinders and prevent starting. If this has been done, open up the pet cocks and turn the motor over few times with the throttle closed to clear the cylinders. Then close them and start with the choker in normal running positior.

WHY FARMERS CAN'T DO WITHOUT AUTOS
Head of Minute Man" Com pany Tells of Changes
 Effected by Auto

sIt is natural, when you study
 the situation, that the farmers
 should now be buying half the nu-
 tOmobiIes on the market. Aside
 from the fact that the farmer has
 had year ot exceptional prosper
 ity, the distance he travels makes
 it m economic necessity. Almost
 every time he goes anywhere he
 saves time that is an asset to his
 business The possession of m
 automobile enables him to reduce
 the number of horses sufficiently
 to pay for the gasoline he uses.'
 News Item.
 The foregoing tribute to the utility of the automobile, from the standpoint of the farmer, which was published in a New York newspaper, only gives a hint as to the desirability of the motor car on the farm, according to Frank B. Ansted, head of the Lexington Motor company.
 "While the news item lays stress on the saving of time in trayel' says An sted it tells nothing about the rural educational advantages made possible by the advent of the automobile; about the intermingling socially of residents of widely separated communities; about the wholesome effect that popularity of mo- tor vehicles has had on road improve ment; about the closer relations estab- lished between town residents and farm residents, and so on.
 "Of course time-saving in travel back and forth is one of the greatest of the many advantages of the farmers car. As far back as January l, 1915, there were 559, ,730 motor cars in operation Ill Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ne braska, Missouri, North Dakota, south Dakota and Oklahoma-all great farming states. Of this total one-half of the cars were owned by farmers, and an even greater ratio prevails today. In those nine states, three years ago, the farmers were spending over $2o0,000 a day for new cars. They had begun to realize what the motor car means to clViilza- l ton and how much more 1t means to the farmer than anyone else How it means material help. How it means the end o' rural monotony How, in fact, an en' l tire change in the farmers outlook or i life. his environment, and his health has been accomplished.
 1 And ever since the great rush hegaI among the farmers for automobiles th' demand has been gaining momentum ol 1 a tremendous scale. It is safe to predlc l that with the responsibilities Of war pro l gramme largely resting on the shoulder' l of the farmers, they will have to straiI their efficiency to the limit Conse ouently, the rural demand for cars thl year is going to break even the higi records of the past"
