Kiwanis International Secretary
By DOLLY DALRYMPLE

of the spirit of their organization. Not a city in which a Kiwanis club is To- cated can help but feel the influence of the organization if the local members have caught the true spirit of the Xii wanis movement.
 kiwanis is militant organization militant in its attitude toward anything which is opposed to the principle of fair play, whether it be in personal, civic, business or social life. Kiwanis has proved itself the friend of every con structive civic movement and the foe of everything destructive
 This is. true of every angle of Xii wanis, MT Cummings said, and since he first of this year, 1919, to the pres- Int time the 100 cities l have visited, as international secretary, the 150e0 miles have travelled, and the 66 Kiwanis clubs I have appeared before all show the splendid spirit of constructive as- sistance in every big and important up- lift movement.
 "Kiwanis, you must know, is only four years old MT. Cummings mentioned.
 Then hundred clubs answered to the roll call. Today there are 136 clubs, with 17,0o0 members, and all representative of lle great progressive spirit of our coun- try.
 'Kiwanis includes largely the men who have not as yet arrived, if I might ex- press it that way; men who haven't yet made their fortunes and are ready to retire, but those who are not forging ahead, making their business regulations. their regulations as men of moral and financial worth and men who are active and alert in the progressive things of the world.
 And just word about Birmingham, if you please,H MT. Cummings begged. "I want to say that I gather impressions of cities very readily visiting as many cities as I do in, my rounds, and Bir- mingham expresses to me very fully the spirit of the new south; it combines the aggressiveness of the east and the west with true southern hospitality. Your Xii wanis club in Birmingham is one of the very best and most typical of all our clubs. Your president Mercer Barnett, is a splendid leader, while Jeff Bailey, the very efficient secretary, and one of the most popular men, if what I hear about him is true, that ever lived in Bir- mingham, together have built up a mag nificent organization here. And let me add that no other club-no other city could have excelled Birmingham in the prepar tions for this great convention and I am glad to pay my respects to our Kiwanis members here, and to thanr them in advance for their kind and gen erous hospitality"

It was real pleasure to me last week to get around and meet my old friends of auto row, as well as the many new fellows in the game now. Taken generally, there is no better class of fellows in any business than those in the old gas wagon game.
 One cry greets every comer how overwhelming on the floor" Deliv- cries are next to nothing and while a few local dealers have been prom ised quick relief there are many over the country who will not get cars. Never in the history of the business has buying been as heavy. It is no longer matter of How much is this carr but rather When can you make delivery"
 Among those fortunates who have cars for immediate delivery I might mention pr Barnes of the Overland Motor Car company, who has received two or three extra cars. Fall business
