The New Spark Plug

1iS 4NCW olJdI "A AOS
 To the citizens of Birmingham and vii cinity that own automobiles: We will on June 1 inaugurate S0-day sale of the new and wonderful Fan Flame Spark Plugs as a means of speedy introduce ton of our product. By this means We are touring the south to more fully introduce what is acknowledged py the trade the first real advance in spark ignition for ages, inasmuch as the old spark gaps-point system has at last been eliminated by means of a six 60 point Nicllol fan attached to the elec- trode rolnt. This fan rotates hundreds of times per minute from the compres- sion and explosions when the engine is in milton, which fact makes the new plug self cleaning, as oil deposits that have at all times become corbonized on the cld plugs is thrown off, leaving the sparkling points (six of them instead of one) to produce as many and even more separate fire sparks at the same time. With this multiple sparkling new system the former amount Of gas used is no longer needed, as a leaner mixture only is now requird. which fact alone saves from 20 to 25 per cent of gas with even a better and smoother running motor. Our office and Salesroom is located at 412 North 18th st., where we will make electrical demonstrations for the public daily. Our new Fan Flame Spark Plugs are made in all sizes for every known make of American and European auto mobiles, trucks and tractors, and win be placed on sale at an advance price of S1.15 each, which is the same as other plugs in the market of repute, while the saving in gas will soon pay for them. The early buyers will be entitled to 10 per cent cash discount. Patrons may phone us and one of our salesmen will call.

STORIES ABOUT
VILLA REFUTEO
BANDIT LEADER Is CREDITED
WITH MAGIC POWERS BY
NATIVES

JUAREZ, Mexico, July Fran
cisco Villa promises to be the Robin
Hood for future generations in Mex
leo. Many legends have sprung up
among the natives about The bandit
leader who came out of the Sierra
Madres to join Francisco Madero in
his revolution against General Dial
and later led movements against
Huerta and Carranza. Many of
these stories are pure fiction and
always made Villa grin broadly
when they were told to him. Others
have some foundation of fact.
One of the most popular legends
connected with Villas life is the
one telling of the causes which fore
ed him to assume the role of a
bandit chief. According to this le-
gend he avenged a wrong done his
sister at the hands of an officer of
the old Diaz army and was forced
to lead a brigand's life after that.
AS Villa had no sister this story is
fiction.
Another tale the natives delight
to tell is hat Villa has the power to
change himself into a little dog AMI
bark at the heels of the soldiers
pursuing him. Villa at different
times has been charged with having
as many as six wives 1t the same
time The most he ever had was
! two.
Villa was also said to have been
