bOb'S AUTOLAUNDRY
MAKES OPENING
Specializing in Quality and
Service Plus Careful Treat
ment of Car Finish

Much speculation has been afloat
about auto row as to who would be the
first to open a strictly frst-class auto
laundry" The lot seems to have fallen
to Bob Darrell, who is announcing in this
issue the formal opening of "Bob's Auto
Laundry"
His equipment is suitable for his work,
and it appears from the start that the
place has made that this business is one
that has been sadly needed for quite a
time.

FAST CAR NEEDS
FAST BRAKES
Apperson Manager Shows
How Braking Power
Must Match Speed

Have you ever watched a fast boxer
pull his wallop when mixing 1t with
an inferior training partner" The speak,
er was Hewitt Henninger sales manager
of Denegre Car and Truck company
Its one of the best illustrations ] know
of the way the Apperson Eight takes the
risk out of speed. A good boxer has the
speed of his blow so well under control
that he can SLOW a terrific swipe down
to harmlessness in a few inches. The
Apperson Eight actually brakes tosa dead
stop from 40 miles an hour in seconds
40 yards.
This wonderful control enables the
Apperson driver to take liberties with
traffic that would make many sea-
soned car driver gasp with horror But.
as a matter OF fact, he is taking less
risk than the conservative driver of many
a numbering car whose inertia is 100
great to readily control.
Not only in traffic, however, thout7l
in traffic it doubtless finds Its greatest
usefulness, but also in touring there arise
countless situations where quick stop
is necessary, and where knowledge that
he can stop quick keeps the driver cool
and master of the situation. For IN
stance, railroad crossings. No driver likes
to slow down to walk because there
is a railroad track ahead. And as a
matter of fact, few do. The Apperson
driver breezes right along, confident that
in an emergency his car can be damned
down to a dead stop almost instantly.
The same applies to the turn in wind
ing road and hundreds of other ordinary
conditions the tourist meets

STEPHENS SILENT SIX
| ROADSTER BEAUTIFUL
PIECE OF DESIGNING
Remarkable Results Obtained by
Using Soft Flowing Lines Rather
Than Pronounced Lines
or Curves

Possibly one of the most beautiful
roadsters that has ever been exhibited
in Birmingham Is now on display IN
the showrooms of the Cruse-Crawford
Manufacturing company. The particular
car referred to is a Stephens Salient
Six, 1920 model and embodies more i'm
provements than can easily be tabulated
in a column of copy.
Presenting beautiful finish of
khaki brown at the first glance 1t is
easily seen by the other longing looks
that will surety follow that this is
merely a prelude to the surprises that
await From complete dash board
equipment to improved locking devices
on the luggage compartment built in
the rear the appointments are perfect
Not a harsh contrast of colors or
shapes is to be found in the entire job.
When the regular models came in and
were placed on demonstration many
thought that little Improvement from
an artistic standpoint could be made,
but that was before this little heart
breaking roadster arrived. From the
front edge of the bumper to the dying
glow of the tail light the car is me-
chemically and artistically all that could
be desired by even the most discrimi-
mating
This car is not going to be on the
floor long-that is certainty--so those
who are interested had better make
that trip early Monday morning.

Wounded in lis Places
Cadillac Stays on Job

The experience of>Maj. W. P. Wattles.
SD battalion, Geographic corps. Third
army, and his Cadillac car, No. 1884,
seems to prove that it takes something
more destructive than German high ex-
rlosive shell to put Cadillac out of
commission.
In the operations at Arcis lie Pom
sard near the Vesle river, it was neces
sary to drive this car to point within
three kilometers of the front line
trenches. The position was under heavy
fire from the enemy, and while Major
Wattles and his driver were absent from
the car, it fell victim to a high ex-
plosive shell.

Wofford, president of the Wofford OH

that four trips was all he was ever able
to get out of five gallons of ordinary

he always got six.

Dec. 4, 1918.
Dear Sister Esther:
Again l am writing to you what
seems to me useless letter, as can't
get an answer from you or any of the
family. 1t worries me, especially when
l see everybody else getting mail,
while l have not even received a post
card from the U. S. A..
r Am still in the same place l was
when the armistice was signed, in a
little town by the name of Nansard.
It's all battered up-hardly a decent
building left in the whole town. Ny
captain and myself are living in about
the only room that's whole in the
town. It's a room that the Germans
fixed for their officers and it's clean
and dry; have a good fire going also
in German stove left by them in
their hurry to get out.
Just had couple of negroes out of
an engineer regiment who are fixing
up some roads around here, saw me
up some wood. Reminds me of home.
Now, in my last letter I wrote you
that we were going to Germany. That
order has been cancelled and it is now
rumored that we are going to Paris to
parade before President Wilson. Let's
hope it's true, and then home, sweet
home. Home will be a great place
when we get back. l can just taste
some friend spring chicken. But l
haven't even seen a chicken in almost
three months, to say nothing of eating
one. We get pretty good food but
the variety is so small that it gets
tiresome at times, but I always say,
"Well, a few more weeks" and that's
some satisfaction.
So | will close now, with lots of
love to Mama, the kids and Sam.
Your loving brother,

plies, and these are being distributed
to the people. The French government
is endeavoring to obtain some cattle
from Switzerland and horses from the
various armies, which, together with
the meagre supply of agricultural i'm
plements, may enable the population
to get in some portion of next years
crops in such of these areas as are not
too badly destroyed by battle.
! The entire industrial life of the re-
gion has been destroyed by the Ger
mans. There is scarcely single fac
tory that can be operated without a
very large portion of new equipment.
The coal mines are totally destroyed
and the network of railways in this
region has been rendered almost hope
less of reconstruction for many
months.
The German method of destruction
was to bend every single rail by ex-
ploding hand grenade under it, rem
dering it useless for all time. The
Grand Canal du Nord, which connects
this section of France with the Bel
gian canal system and is the natural
entry port for goods for Antwerp or
Rotterdam, was itself practically the
| fighting line for months and is so bad
ly injured that it will take fully a year
for its complete reconstruction.
The relief is based on the allow
! ance of food to the value of about
thirty-five cents per day to the desti-
tute, those having any resources or
employment being required to pay.
The whole extent of destitution is not
yet known, but appears to be fully
! sixty per cent of the people.

"Be it ever so humble, there's no place
like home" This is the holy principle
and sentiment that has made the Am
erican soldier a success. He is fight
ing for an ideal that is found here as
nowhere else.
Months and years of suffering and
rrivation have only worked to in
crease that love for home. And when
the boys are again settled down to the
routine OF civil life we may expect a
new era for the country and the world,
for that inherent loEe of a free coun-
try and loving home will be so in
tensifed and broadened that justice
and liberty in its broadest sense will
always be the guiding influence, the
deciding power.
