Automobiles? Just 5000
 h hOLdBirnaingham Yesterday
Fly FRANK WILLIS BARNETT.

I did not know there were so many automobiles in Alabama as I saw in Birmingham yesterday. Where did they all come from? Now on an. ordinary day l generally see half dozen or more chauffeurs busy fixing puncture, flat tire, or some broken part, but never a one did I glimpse the whole day of Sat urday
 I asked an automobile man to give me an estimate of the number of cars in town, and he said that he thought he would be we'll within the mark to put the number around 25,000 He told me that there was between 1S,000 and 20,0OO in Birmingham alone and he was sure that there were at least 5000 out of town automobiles here for the day.
 I then asked him to pass on the num- Der of those in the Highland avenue pa rade and he put them al 10000. Now, ' am not ready to challenge his statement, for it seemed to me that it had just rained Fords like frogs besides the scores of other makes. l am sure that l saw some of the vintage of 1900, for everything on wheels was rolling, from the littlest runa bouts to the great powerful trucks.
 I then requested my friend to give me an idea of the worth of the machines which were circling back and forth ladened with soldier boys, girls and hap py parents. He figured bit and valued them in the neighborhood of a million dollars. Now this may be way above or way below the mark, for when man gets above a hundred l just naturally pass out for he is out of my class.

that one of the greatest faults of the

WORLD CAN MAKE 1T.
John Shelton Williams Takes opti-
mistic View Of Financial Situation.

nistio View Of Financial Situation.
Optimism for the future of Europe
and the financial condition of the world
despite. the terrible losses accustomed
by war, was expressed before the ma
tional bank section of the American
Bankers association at st. Louis, last
week by John Shelton Williams, comp
troller of the currency.
"Ninety-eight years ago Europe was
considering us as we now. consider
Europe" Mr.. Williams said. "Of course
the situation was on a small scale as
compared with the present, but areas,
populations and capital then were
small as compared with now. We
owed Europe s32.OOo,oO0 and had no
way to pay it. Balance of trade were
hopelessly against us. Not only our
national and state bonds, but out real
estate mortgages and even sherifs'
warrants were held abroad to secure
our Indebtedness to the banks, mer-
chants and exporters Of England and
France.
"In 1921, the ways and means COM
mittee of the house, in its formal re-
port, quoted approvingly by the then
secretary Of the treasury of'the United
states, gave this brief, dismal sum-
mary of the situation: !
Few examples have occurred OF dis
tress so general and severe as that
which has been exhibited by the United
States"
gentlemen, if we could pay Europe
then and clear up our debts, Europe
can pay us what she owes us now. In
the twenty years between 1S2o ana
| 1910 we reduced our national debt
from SO per capita to 21 cents per
ca pita-the lowest of our history as
people. Yet we have pessimists who
tell us we will not be able to pay our
present debt in a century. What the
people of ninety-eight, ninety ana
eighty-fve years ago did. with the COM
paratively crude and scanty means at
their disposal, we can far more than
do now, although our debt ls' vastly
more per capita than was theirs.
