TRUMAN MORRISON
ENTERS BUSINESS
Popular Young Business
Man Now Vice President
Quick Service Tire Co.

Truman A. Morrison. well known IN
Birmingham business circles. and for the
past year associated with Crawford's
Quick Tire service as manager of this
department, sewers his connection with
this firm today to enter the tire and ac-
cessory business as partner in the QUICK
Service Tire company. Incorporated, sue
cessors to the Murphy-Jones Auto Sup
ply company, located at the corner Of
Avenue B and Twenty-frst street.
Mr. Morrison leaves behind him an ex-
cellent record OF service having gone
through successfully that period which
every man in the tire business can re-
member, when even the best of tires were
poor enough because of unavoidable war
conditions and again successfully passing
through that period when tires were al
most as hard to get as automobiles have
been for the past three months.
In his new connection Mr.. Morrison will
act in the capacity of vice president and
sales manager In speaking of the changes
and improvements which would be made,
he SAID last nieht, Among other things
1 am a great believer in giving a man
what is promised him. Consequently be-
ginning next Sunday I am going to start
Sunday free tire service with my fleet
of wagons. I am going to sell a man
service on Hood tires and am going TO
back that sale up with service.

going tc be a service car ION the run

going to find the reason why and remedy
it, We have the tires-we have the serv-

THE Amazing Wife" which opened
Yesterday at the Lyric Theater IS that
rare thing, a photoplay which builds
cumulative interest. In too many PIC
lures the interest is episode, rising
and falling as the action quickens ana

drama in which attention is not CEN
tered primarily on the incidents which
are being Immediately portrayed, put
on the end back of those incidents.
That end is in the spectators mlnd
from the first, and the whole narra-
tive builds toward it.
1t is so with THE Amazing Wife.
Once the scene is laid-once Clcely
Osborne takes the decisive step which
instals her as the widow of Lieut.
Ashton. killed in action, when really
she is the widow of another and ig-
noble John Ashton--interest mounts
higher and higher until the final So
lution of the problem is reached.
one danger point has been most
sl1illfully avoided. Lieut.. Ashton re-
turns-the report of his death was
mistake. What happened after TINS
might have been permitted to drlit
into anti-climaX. But Ida May Park,
the director. has seen the danger. the
Jorv is shunted dXpertly on into
new complications that hold interest

Mary MacLaren adds to her reputa-
ton in her portrayal of Cicely, always
nicely sustained. Frank Mayo is her

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-The fourth day of the steel strike was without ma terial influence on the stock market, aside from frequent pauses of the ticker and confusing price changes, which in dicated keener interest in the out come of the labor controversy.
 Traders seemed unable to arrive at any fixed conclusion from the divergent claims of the opposing factions, but the comparative steadiness of the steels and related issues denoted sub stantial support at concessions.
 Oils and tobaccos were eelipsed for 8 time, but American tobacco became the foremost feature of the later deal ings at an extreme advance of 10 points to s03 it's top quotation in six years, while Liggett and Myers and Loriglard tobacco which are named with American in a proposed consolidation or merger, gained almost as much.

desert, was Gilbert visitor yesterday with his auto filled with delicious cling peaches. Induced to tell of his 20-acre orchard planted out on the desert to the east, MT. German stated that he had sold 1,500 boxes of apricots from the place; had found ready market at 8 good price for every bunch of grapes, and that while early peaches did not bear a profit, he now is getting satisfactory returns from his late clings for which there has proven to be ready market.
 His cotton crop he pronounces the best he ever mad, and that is going some when it is remembered that two years ago the cotton from this desert ranch, took every first prize at the state fair from the stalk to the con- pleted bale of cotton.
 Mir. German is sanguine over the probability of securing, by the desert ranches of electricity for power. Op- eration of the pumping plants with fuel oil or "tops~ IS expensive and before the war an attempt was made to secure electric power. but all agi- tation ceased when the nation took on it's big job. Now that the war IS over, the effort will be renewed. At

German with great difficulty, aided by some public spirited citizens of the south side, ob- tained .lecessary legislation that re- moved several difficulties, and now it is believed that with concerted action the desert may soon be provided with power of character and at price that will bring into being productive farms over wide area.
 Incidentally, it may be justly said that John German is the stuff of which pioneers are made. He has had many and serious obstacles to over come in the fashioning of a horne out of cactus and mesquite desert home stead, but he has wrought well and worthily When the great war came this foreign-born patriot went to the draft boards and gave them freely two of his sons, asking only that the third be left at home to attend to the pumping plant and help run the farm A reasonable request and one freely granted.
