satisfaction with the award of V. Ever

u. & J. CARBURETOR
is SUCCESSFUL
Factory Tests Show Great Economy
in Operation and Installation

The U. & J. Carburetor company with
$4,000 worth of fully paid stock re-
Gently opened a distributing point for
Alabama and Georgia in this city. Mr.
Dan S Martin is the president of the
concern, and Mr. c. c. Macleod Is ire
secretary, treasurer and local repre-
sentative. Mr.. Macleod has a sales
office at South goth street aud a
service station at 315 south 10th street
At present the T. & J. carbLretor is
supplied only for Fords, Maxwells and
Dodges. but plans are under eonsidera-
ton for a y. & ]. carburetor for every
make of automomible. The U. & j.
carburetor is very simple in construc-
ton, it is the only gravity carburetor
made and does not consist of a single
rowing part consequently very little
skill is required in installing and ad-
justing this carburetor.
On tests conducted at the factory in
refrigerating rooms with the tempera-
ture ten degrees below freezing it was
found that with the use of this car
hure tor it was able to start motor with
me very first revolution.
The use of the z. & J. carl uretor
w II cut your gasoline bill in half, says
Mr.. Macleod, it insures you more power,
d more flexible engine, faster pickup
and more speed than any other cartu-
rotor manufactured; this is absolutely
guaranteed. We have letters from
many owners who are very enthusiastic
after the use of the u. & j. ca:buretor
on their automobile.

High Cost of Living
Is Traced Back to
Deffic lent High ways

Washington August 1s.-Legislative
forces are again on the trail of old high
cost of living. These forces are in fun
swing, with the Senate district subeom-
mittee taking the lead at the national
capital
So far. old high cost has his usual
luck in keeping more than tails length
ahead. His pursuers have been unabel
TO get anything on him." that is any
thing they can tie to.
This last chase started a few days ago
when government employees decided they
had reached the limit of endurance in
trying to keep up with ascending food
costs. Their appeals for economic relief
reached Congress with the result that
the hunt for the old william was on
again, and the entire country soon join
ed in the chase. Already the pursuers
are striking the usual conflicting and
diverging trails One scent leads to the
packers, another to the butter and egg
trust, another to this another to that.
In all of the hearings and discussions,
both in public and private, earnest
seekers after the fundamental reasons
which underlie the present causes of I'M
rest, find themselves coming out on the
same old trail, the unimproved road.
1t is the prohteers safe ambush, pro-
tecting as it does a long line of cormor-
ants in the form of unnecessary middle
men who are aided in their nefarious
work by the devious and unreliable
routes to market.
Whatever the remedy proposed, there
Is always the matter of transportation.
Regardless of how many marketing
agencies may be brought into operation,
or how many restrictions may be thrown
around the middIemen, no permanent
solution can be reached until the road
between the producer and consumer is

shortened by types of construction that
win insure a speedy and open thorough
fare to market under all weather con-
ditions. These are facts that are be-
coming more deeply impressed upon
the legislative mind as high cost investi-
cations proceed.
1t is admitted that road building has
been given a tremendous boost during
the past few years. But even with con-
struction under way practically in eV-
cry state, such construction is largely
in patches, and the process of working
out from the neighborhood road to
comprehensive system must necessarily
be slow, too slow in fact to meet the
economic demands of the hour which
are now being so sharply expressed in
the cry for lower prices on food.
Far-sighted members of Congress
have had in mind the need for still
greater development of public roads with
the result that bill for national hlgh-
way system is now pending in the Unit
ed States Senate introduced by Senator
Townsend, chairman of the committee
on post offices and post roads. 1t is
proposed in this measure to create d
nationwide system of highways under
federal control and maintenance en-
bracines not less than two per cent nor
more than FIVE per cent Of the mileage
in actual use in each state. The loca-
ton of the federal lines is to be deter
mined by a federal highway commits
sion after advising with the various
state highway departments.
The national system is planned TO pro-
vide an outlet or a logical and economi-
cal connection with the various state
highway systems, the latter in turn to
be coordinated with county systems.
Thus it is proposed to permanently solve
the highway transportation problem in
| it's relation to living costs by providing

nefarious practices in price juggling on

fact that stabilized living costs will come
only with the construction of modern
roads upon a coordinated county, state

government beginning at once on the
long lines, while the states build the
short lines.

BY JOE TAYLOR.

The way to learn to bat is by batting.
Keep at it. But youngsters are apt to
nave certain faults which no amount of
spractice will eradicate unless they are
pointed out to them.
The chief mistake of most young
batters is a tendency to pull away
from the plate. The reason for this
lis fear of being hit by the ball.
To get rid of this disastrous habit.
take firm stand at the plate, legs
rather wide apart and then get some
one to pitch to you. Make UP your
mind not to give" an inch and You
viii find yourself becoming more con-
adent as your practicing goes on.
Other boys are inclined to be too
confident and this results in care
