tion asks us to help in the matter of the liberty loans, the war saving stamps and the baby bonds. We are asked to pay the income tax, the payment of which is necessary, a patriotic duty, a privilege. The recent order of MT. Gar field was call to us to 'tarry by the stuff The storm of protest that arose because of this order showed failure to appreciate the importance of our work at home If the strong young men of our country are willing to die for this na- tion. and for the cause of freedom, cer- tainly we should be willing to make any sacrifice that may be necessary for the coming of victory to our arms. Much of the protest looks like cheap business and cheaper politics. The editorial in the Birmingham News of January IT was unfortunate, to say the least. Quite diff ferent was the strong editorial in The Age-H Herald. entitled, Stand by the Gov ernment,' and the equally strong edito- rial in the Ledger. entitled "A Test of Confidence in the Administration
 'The service we are asked to render is heroic service. .. Shall we not do 1t gladly?
 May God bless and keep the soldier boys who have gone forth to the battle, and may He help us who 'tarry by the stuff to know that ours also is an ur- gent duty and a glorious privilege"

The attractive fall decorations in the Robert D. Maxwell company Stu debaker salesroom on First avenue have given way to a unique as well as timely and interesting display of the flags of the nations now at war, that is. the nations at war against Germany and her allies.
 The interior of the handsome sales room lends itself particularly to a decorative scheme of this character and the firm has made the most of the opportunity. As stanch adherents of the Made in Birmingham" slogan they looked about for flagmaker and found one in short order. Of the 2S flags in use 24 were made in the city.
 In the front of the salesroom the place of honor is given to Old Glory, and next to it a Confederate banner. Over the fireplace is a handsome silk American flag, the property of the Birmingham Grand Army of the Re- public, and in the rear of the sales-

 To-day, % years later, the automobile is so closely interwoven into the fabric of our daily lives that it is hard to un- derstand how we ever got along with out it.
 REVOLUTIONIZED DAILY LIFE
 Few of us realize the extent to which the automobile has brought about changes in our whole system of com mercial and industrial activity. Why, we could do without the telephone al- most as we'll as we could go back to de- pendence on the horse and buggy.
 ''The world is always slow to utilize a new idea to it's fullest possibilities The telephone had been a success for some years before it's true value to busi- ness was realized. Today a business man thinks nothing of carrying on a business conversation over a wire 500 or 1000 miles long.
 The development of the automobile has been surprisingly rapid, but the world has not yet begun to utilize it as it will be utilized in the future. Every phase of its practical usefulness will be doubled. It will play an even more im- portant part in business than it plays today.

As result of the recent heavy snow fall throughout the north, the Goodyear Tire and Rubber company of Akron, O., found the highways between the factory and the balloon field. about 10 miles distant, impossible for motor transpor- tation.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-growing all over the scalp.
 A little Danderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair No differ ence how dull, faded, brittle and scrag- gy, just moisten cloth with Dandcrine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incompar- able lustre. softness and luxuriance.
 Get small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine for a few cents at any drug store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that 1t has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that's all--you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try little Dand- erine.

 "If politician is immoral, he will wink at sin He will conspire with lawbreakers and combine with triclSsters and become a most dangerous agent.
 "If commissioner is a gambler and a thinker he'll shoot craps with his em- ployes on the top floor and he'll visit places of disorder. If he's thinker he'll divide up confiscated liquor, pass out quart bottles among his friends in the basement and make out like it was stolen.

 BUSINESS FIGURING"
 Tn one use alone-that of enabling salesmen to get around over their terri tory quickly-the automobile is of in estimable value to business. Even in covering large territories it is a wonder full time- saver and increaser of product iveness. Some of the country's largest manufacturing concerns furnish an auto mobile for every one of their salesmen. One big company has between 800 and 600 cars covering the country. They have found that the automobile greatly in- creases the salesman's earning power. and they would not think of going back to the old way of covering the territory by train.
 ''The changes which the automobile has brought about in rural life are equally important. It has brought the city to the country, and the country to the city. Before its advent the farmer hitched up and went to town once a week. Now he thinks nothing of running to town at any time. If his blow, tractor or binde. breaks down, he can jump in his car and run in to the dealers and be quickly back in the field with the needed re- pairs"
