PASSING THE BUCK ALONG
 B, es,1ppns s% THE FEWER ROUTE
By SAM
 GOAIPERS

Automobile TOW is quick getting back to old farm Benzine buggies are begin ming to arrive by the carloads daily and dealers are busy scratching orders. It is expected that several new firms will spread along auto row, some handling automobiles and trucks and some ex- elusive truck dealers. It was just few months back when nearly every show room was empty and today it is almost possible to get cars everywhere.
 Then yet, there may be a shortage of CATS. The Birmingham dealers have only small aIlotments for the next few months and the wild rush for motor cars now win soon clear up all sales rooms re- gardless of the make price of cars. The people want cars and they're going to buy them. The fellow who waits until the last minute to select his car may be kept still waiting. This information was passed along some weeks ago when or ders were piling up for cars before they arrived It is well to make your selection now, even if you don't want the car unti1 later. There is bound to be a short age later and the fellow who gets the benzine buggy fever will suffer.
 AUBURN MECHANIC HERE
 o. c. Roddy, who is graduate of Au- burn university and who has been con nected with the National Motor company for three years, has come to Birmingham and is connected with L. J. Lively Motor Sales company, the local National Veal CT. ME Roddy talks interestingly about the splendid manner in which National motor cars are assembled and he states that this car is one of the greatest ve- hicles on the market today. MT. Roddy is manager of the L. J. Lively Motor Sales company service station, and as- sures every National owner that the most courteous attention and expert serv- ice will be rendered. In New York the National cars are considered one of the luxury cars of comfort and convenience, and its economical uplzeep has forced it to the front as a preference, says MT. Roddy.

To mention the "angle of repose of garbage" would promptly call forth some facetious remarks, but as a matter of fact it is on just this factor that the de- sign of an efficient garbage truck body is based. In other words, garbage which might slide freely from receptacle when the latter is tilted at an angle of 30 degrees might not budge at an angle of 20 degrees. And garbage is something we want to slide-and slide in hurry.
 We are told that this angle of repose of kitchen refuse varies in different cities. On the coast where fish forms a substantial portion of the diet with the
 resultant fishbone refuse the angle is greater than in some of the middle west packing house centers. where there is more grease in the food. Also it varies naturally, with the season.
 To secure an entirely satisfactory gar bage dump body, this angle must be taken into consideration, and in design
 ing such equipment we are prepared to handle it successfully
 It will be noted that the bevel at the

 ONE A DAY Earl Ford of the Cruse-Crawford Man ufacturing company, in closing lip the records for last week stated that six Republic trucks were sold, which has more than met their allotment for the present time this year. Since January h. 1919, 9 trucks have been delivered, some of the big sales falling to Dick Arthur and Chess Bateheler. This firm 1 is well organized and are well able to handle all kinds of transportation prob | Ilems.
 EDWARDS MOTOR co. Sterling Edwards has been doing a marathon for the past week since he has returned to automobile row. First it was running down to the freight depot to I see about several carloads of Chevrolet cars that arrived, and then it was one thing and another. MT. Edwards sold ! out last September, expecting to join the army, but just as Sterling was about | to don the khaki the Huns give up and Sterling was sore, as he was anxious to see how far he could chase the Huns. Mir Edwards has part of his old organ ization and promises all Chevrolet own CTS that the usual Chevrolet service will prevail.
 ESSEX A BEAUTY I
 l Last Thursday was Essex day through out the United States, says w. C., Scott, manager of the Reliance Auto company, distributors for the new Essex motor car. Each dealer was requested to fur nish the number of people who came to I the sales rooms to see this magnificent car and MT. Scott says the aggregate number will run into the hundreds of ! thousands.
 PAIGE TRUCK l One of the new trucks on the market 1 that will revolutionize the truck industry is the new Paige, says Lawrence Penning- 1 ton. It has superior features but found ! in other light trucks and it is expected that hundreds of prospective truck own CTS will want the first of the Birming- ham allotment. Due notice will be made when these trucl1s arrive and full de- scription will be sent by those who re- quest.
 l BETHLEHEM TRUCKS l A. S Hatcher, manager of the Don ohoo Horse and Mule company, has on hand full line of Bethlehem Trucks. These trucks have a remarkable record for low upkeep, says MT. Hatcher, and our demonstration show the efficiency of the mechanical construction.

 Brazil are the 42-centimeter statesmen who they call the big four. Their knowledge
 of the motor car game is of inestimable value and their sales records are said to be great Bill Pape said it is nothing to sell several carloads of motor cars in one week. We know the prospects and we sell 'em good cars
 COLES GOING GOOD The motor car beautiful, the Cole Aero Is has been one of the fastest selling cars I've ever handled stated Mir Trr-

 are safe to say that the Cole has

 TIRE RECORDS J. T. Fenton, manager of the Southern Tire and Accessories company, has many records of long2mileage from Dreadnaught tires. People from Birmingham who have
 made cross-country trips in heavy cars have returned with the same air that was pumped in their tubes at Birming- ham, MT. Fenton is an expert on tires, he knows their good and bad qualities
 and he says that the Dreadnaught is the
 perfection of the tire industry DORTS HERE Have you seen the new Dort cars They are ready for delivery, says B, | Edgar Evans, salesmanager of the Pierce Motor company, and we expect to sell hundreds of them this year at their low price.

GREATEST DANGER
FROM INFLUENZA

The greatest danger from an attack
OF the grip, or influenza, IS after the
acute stage is over when the lowered
vitality makes the system an easy prey
for any germ disease to which it is ex-
posed. The debility resulting fromsn
attack of the grip is so persistent that,
il the blood is not built up and the
strength restored, il may last for
months and years. That this is un-
necessary is shown by the experience of
Mrs. Laura NJ. Van Scoy, who lives at
at No. 201s Thorpe street, Danbury,
Conn. She says:

II. Il. Haviland of the stan of the
New York Times enlisted in the navy
soon after the United States entered
the war. After additional training at
Brest, France, Mr.. Haviland was as
signed TO the destroyer McDousai, on
which he has since served. In recent
letter he gives this description OF his
trip to France and life on the de-
Stroyer
There was constant work for the
destroyer sailors. The ship upon which
am serving was at sea about twenty
six days out of the month of August.
That shows that there was no one play
ing the role of Stacker The success
OF the shipping has been largely due to
the watchfulness and efficiency of the
officers and men OF the destroyers.
