CHICKEN TAX IS
 WORRYING CONGRESSMEN

Washington, December 19.-(Special.)- J. Did the Kilby legislature. in order that the state, under the guidance of Gov ernor Kilby, might make good financial showing enact a law which directly or indirectly tax the '.old lady's" chickens?
 Tn other words, will the people of Ala bama hereafter directly or indirectly pay tax for every chicken in excess of a certain number which they might possess ?
 The members of the Alabama delegation are curious to know. For under a sin gular msapprehension certain people in at least nine of the districts of Alabama hold the Alabama members of Congress to blame for the existence of such law.
 To il of the 12 men who represent Ala bama in Congress letters of protest have come-some of protest. others of denun- citation and still others of ridicule The members immediately pleaded their in nocence They state unequivocally that although the republican majorities of the House and Senate are anxious to make a creditable financial showing on the eve of "a presidential year, they would not go so far as to put tax on the chickens of the farm.
 Some. of the members have endeavored to learn the cause of the trouble in Ala bama. In is regarded as probable that the misunderstanding comes from the ex- eHiptlOIS uHueT the income tax laws Of the state. It is understood that the ex- empticns are on goods or property to a value of s150 but that in tabulating such exemptions the value of cows, horses and chickens must be included
 As to whether or not Congress has the right information. any member of the Kilby legislature can state. But the Ala bamians in Congress are anxious that the explanation come forthwith. as the people are riding them for nerrniffinp Q the tax grabbers' to put a premium on chickens.
 If there is such a thing as the Kilby chicken tax it is not very popular. judg- ing, from the facetious letters which have reached Washington

WINTER DRIVING TO
STAY, HSyPP|N SAYS

Winter driving has come to stay,
asserts Joe Kuppin of the Richmond
Tire Service. People who never had
their cars out during the winter be-
fore have been tempted into driving
because of the unparalleled mild
weather, and they are never going to
give it up.
However, winter and spring driving
are mighty hard on tires and the slip
perry, slushy roads of February, March
and April are the hardest driving of
the year from the tire standpoint.
Kupping is going soon to announce
tire which will eliminate the dis
advantages of spring and winter driv-
ing. This tire is SO built that it alb
serbs the shock and side-sway of
slippery turn without skidding all
over the road.
1t has been thoroughly tested in
that hardest driving of all towns,
P1ttsburg, and as a result has been
exclusively adopted by big taxicab
companies there. kuppin is not quite
ready to announce the full facts con-
corning this tire, but will make the
announcement very soon.

LOCAL man SAYS U. s,
TIRES ARE N0N-SKID

Every wise motorist puts chains on
his tires when rain makes the high
ways sHppery-this rule is one rule
of motoring which no one questions
says local dealer who handles Unit
ed States tires.
while there is no substitute for a
chain, some tires are surprisingly
trustworthy in emergencies. A pas
senger in a taXicab demonstrated re-
Gently with the driver, who was trav-
cling at fast rate over a slippery as
phalt pavement.
There is nothing to worry about, y
was the taxi mans response. This
car is equipped with Royal Cords
Then he did some stunts in starting
and turning, and there was no skid
ding
Royal Cords are good in slippery
places for two reasons, Int the first
place they are of cord construction.
That means they are very pliable and
there is an easy play in the tire that
allows more of the tread surface to
roll along the ground. This extra
surface increases the tractive force
and lessons skidding.
s. In the second place there is the
non-skid tread. This figure tread is
not for decorative purpose, but is
scientifically devised to prevent slip
ping in any direction"

Bernstorff Protests
American Movie Film

NEW YORK, March s-Application
was made in Supreme Court here for
an injunction to restrain exhibition
of a moving picture film in which
Countess Won Bernstorff, wife of the
former German ambassador to the
United States, is shown with her hus-
band in dinner scene which bears
a caption reading:
"Bernstorff and his American wife,
who were engaged in murder and other
crimes in the United States"
The injunction was asked in be-
half of Countess Won Bernstorff by
Pauline Lewis, who declared in her
affidavit that the wife of the Ger
man diplomat, who was Jeanne Luck
meyer, daughter of Edward Luck
meyer, New York importer, forfeited
her American citizenship by her mar
riage, but not her loyalty to the
United States, where she was born in
1857"

DODGE IS GOODWILL
GAR, SAYS BETHARD

Good will Is as valuable in the au-
tomobile industry as in any other bust
ness" says Fred Bethard, Of the Beth.
ard Auto Sales company. There Is
what you may call the one-time car,
whose owner will never buy another
if he can help it, and there is the
car whose owner is the most enthusi-
astic salesman.
Desire for such a car spreads al
most without help of a salesman,
making new converts and friends as
it goes. The lucky dealer who Sc
cures the agency for Dodge Brothers,
for instancefi has secured a long
start on his competitors before he
makes move.
People do not buy Dodge Broth
ers' car simply because they want a
car of some sort, or any sort. They
are buying because they want the pre-
else kind of a car which Dodge
Brothers build. They seem to know
that Dodge Brothers idea from the
very first was that if they built the
car right, nothing else mattered much.
People generally know all about
this car, or nearly all, before they call
on a Dodge Brothers dealer.
'They pick out the very points for
which it is noted everywhere. They
know why they want the car-and
they are more eager for it today all
over the country than they have ever
been.
THE production has always been
too small to come anywhere near sat
isfying the demand. 1t is at this mo-
ment, and it probably will be for years
to come. The explanation is ridicu-
lousy simple. The car has never
bred anything but good will

KNIGHT IS VETERAN
OF TANK SERVICE

Perhaps the terrific, racking. crash
Ing progress of British tank over
trenches, trees, or buildings through
to the German lines in one of the
great British tank attacks was the
most severe strain mobile automotive
machinery was ever put to, says G. M.
Davis, of the Davis Overland Auto
Sales company, 1909 East Main street.
1--WE therefore consider 1t a great
compliment that the only official tank
motor, the one which was in use in
every British tank at the end Of the
war, was the knight Silent sleeve
valve motor. More than that, in ev-
cry German tank captured by the
British was found a motor of sleeve
valve design, stolen without credit
by the Germans from the basic design
of the Silent knight.
Drivers and engineers of the tanks
had not time to clean motors, in the
terrific rush of action An ordinary
motor would have died of carbon.
But instead of being a destruction to
the knight, this motor thrives on car
bon, which is one reason why it was
adopted by the British government
for use in the tanks.
The sleeve-valve is the reason for
this. Carbon enters the space be-
tween the sleeves and Is rubbed to a
CLASSY smoothness which in the course
of time absolutely eliminates friction.
Why, this car never reaches it's full
efficiency until it has been run twenty
five or thirty thousand miles; our de-
monstrators would rather demonstrate
with car which has had that ex-
perience than with a new one.
Besides its motor, the distribution
of weight, balance, durability. make
the Willys-Knight absolutely the best
investment you can find on the motor
market TODAY"
