SAVE THE CONCRETE

One of the chief causes of crack ing in concrete surfaces is the pres ence of moisture in the surround ing atmosphere. In the warm months this oisture las no detri- mental effect, but in winter time it collects in the tiny pores of the concrete and freezes. The freez- ing action, with it's concurrent ex- pansion. exerts a pressure on the surrounding concrete and causes tiny cracks to appear. These cracks in turn fill with moisture and the chipping action continues until spring comes with it's higher temperature This chipping and cracking of the surface of the con- crete detracts both from the appear ance and the strength of the con- crete.
 A sure way to prevent this de- structive action is to thoroughly coat the surface of the concrete with floor dressing paint This coating preserves the texture and individuality of the concrete and prevents all moisture from penetrat- ing the surface. If new concrete floors are covered with two coats of this paint and recoated at inter- vals of about SIX months the con- crete surface will remain unscarred and without cracks, The uso of this crack preventive" is becoming greater each year and many fac tories use 1t in large amounts.

Why German Peace Is Impossible

From "Russias Mutilation-Germany
 Unmasked," by Frank H. Simonds in
 the American Review of Reviews
 The Russians tried to talk peace with the Germans; they laid aside all old bit- terness; they divested themselves of all traditional national aspirations; they of fered the hand of friendship; they de- mobilized their armies; they deprived themselves of every means of defense. And when they had done this the Rus- sians were ruthlessly robbed and de- spoiled of all that they possessed or could hope to possess. That this was an inevitable consequence of Russia S course majority of the people of Rus sia's allies always believed, but only when the experiment was tried could the truth be incontrovertibly established. 'Ihe Russian revolution laid aside it's weapons to prove that Germany was guiltless of previous and prospective crime and that the German people were Tn control of their government and pre- pared to make peace. Disarmed, the Rus sian revolution was murdered but in it's death and by it's death it revealed to us all exactly what the German purpose was and had been from the beginning Tn so far the Russian course was a sery- ice' expensive as it must prove to all hussia's allies, and above all to Rus sia herself

FRANKLIN PARTS SHIPPED ID FACTORY
 BY PARCEL POST
Special Messengers and Other Devices Used to Get Cars Construct
 ed for Trade

Dealers .n rare fineries, buying their wares from all quarters of the world many times bring their purchases back with them in trunks and cases. This method seems entirely appropriate to the merchandising of expensive and often fragile laoes, silks, etc, but it certainly is unusual to give such distinction to metal automobile parts.
 ' However, such is the case at one auto- mobile factory at least. The Franklin Au- tomobile company manufacturers of the Franklin air-cooled car, almost every day receives trunks and suit cases filled with parts which were made in places many miles from the Franklin factory at Syracuse, N. Y. Transportation diffi- culties due to the war have been felt most keenly by the automobile industry. and every device is used in order to get raw materials and parts with regularity that will maintain steady production of finished cars.
 SPECIAL MESSENGERS
 Take, for example, the manner in which supply of cam shafts is maintained in the Franklin factory. These shafts are made in Muskegon, Mich, two nights ana day s journey from syracuse. Yet, for more than month, express ship ments, twice weekly of these parts have been directed by special messengers who keep in close touch with the packages all the way Because of the fact that ex- press companies have embargoes at times between certain points, these mes sengers nave to transfer the shipments from one express to another wherever necessary.
 During the two nights and a day re- quired for the parts to reach Syracuse, N. Y., this constant attention gives the messengers practically no sleep If these shipments were not fostered in such manner | day at least would be lost at each transfer point as we'll as att the terminals, and interrupted production would likely be the result.
 PARCEL POST
 Shipments by special delivery parcel post are also much used and large uuan- titles of heavy materials are received in that way. One manufacturer of parts was at first much surprised to receive from the Franklin company an order for 55OO pounds or more of malleable iron castings by parcel post special delivery, and telegraphed quite promptly to find out whether some mistake had not been made. By this time, however, it has be- come rather a common occurrences: in fact, one spark plug manufacturer now sends ZOO spark plugs every week in parcel post quantities. The Southern garage is the local Franklin distributor masked and the necessity to abandon peace discussions has been established.

HEARD ABOUT AUTOMOBILES HERE AND THERE

showrooms of the Birmingham Motor company last week. The several new model Hudson Super Sizes which have just been re- ceiye6 are receiving an unusual amount of attention and are creat- ing no little favorable comment among the owners and prospective owners. An exceedingly good weeks sale of Mchclin tires was reported yesterday, attributed part ly to the spring weather now over the country.

 SELDENS POPULAR
 The Selden trucks, emhodying the original Selden patents that for years applied to all aGtomo- piles. are taking well with the Birmingham trade. Bradley J. Saunders, local representative of the Warner Sales company. reports several large users, especially among the lumber camps in south Alabama.

 s. E. Dodge, representative of the Franklin kutoIuop.le company, Syracuse, k. V, for the southern district. has been in this city for several days as the guest of Charles .DeneGrc of tho Southern garage. MT.

The new cars received are both the six-cylinder five passenger cars as we'll as the roadster. The five passenger cars with this company have only been manufactured recently, as the en- tire output has been consumed in the demand for the roadster. These extra cars are expected to arrive within the next few weeks.

RETALIATION ON FOE
Only Law That Will Make Impression

Washington, Oct. 4.-The French
national committee in charge of the
reparation and restoration of war dam
age, a dispatch from France says,
has issued a declaration demanding
that the Allied governments invoke
the law of retaliation against Ger
many.
The declaration says while the law
is repugnant to the nations fighting
for the triumph of justice and liberty
it is the only one that will make an
impression on the German mind. All
governments which participate in the
crusade are asked to resolve to destroy
town for town, village for village,

SUCCEEDS COUNT HERTrNG
PRINCE MAMMALIAN BECOMES
GERMAN CHANCELLOR.
New Cabinet Chief Is Heir to Throne
of the Grand Duchy
Of Baden.

Amsterdam, Oct. 4.-Prince Maxmil-
ian of Baden has been named Ger
man imperial chancellor, according to
the Zeitung Ammittag, of Berlin.
Prince Maximilian is heir to the
throne of the grand duchy Of Baden.
He was born July 10, 1867. For some
years he has been recognized as the
leader of the .Delbrueck group of Ger
man moderates and upon the fall OF
Imperial Chancellor Michaelis he was
put forward as the moderates' candi-
date for the chancellorship. His name,
however, did not go before the emperor
as Prince Macmillan objected for
dynastic reasons.
Move to Overthrow Kaiser.
At that time there were vague ru-
mors concerning Prince Macmillan to
the effect that in moderate circles
there was under. way a movement hav-
ing for its ultimate objective the de-
thronement of Emperor William and
the choice of Prince Maximilian as his
successor. These rumors, however,
were never confirmed, although there
seemed to be some foundation for
them.
In his book, "My Four Years in
Germany" former Ambassador James
w. Gerard paid tribute to Prince
Maximilian and expressed admiration
for him.
