Motor car dealers of Birmingham are beginning to awake to the fact that 1t is really service that counts in the purchase of ear.

 The continuous strike and coal short age are responsible for these conditions according to the minister, who says that apart from the severe traffic re- strictions which have already been en- forced. very far reaching stipulations for the winter are unavoidable and the German coal industry must be put on a new footing. If possible, the use of coal in it's present form, whereby the greater part of the heating units pass up the chimney, must be prohibited by law.
 Owing to the shortage of fuel. Ger man industries it Is said. are also in terferred with, because they are unable to keep promises regarding time of de- livery. Private locomotive enterprises the official declares are doing even worse than the state service. If pos sible, he adds, the waterways must be employed for purposes of transporta- ton.

 On one trip made yesterday after noon the party of five climbed into the comfortable seats and. much like pio- neers in any venture, waited for the worst to happen. No noise was heard, but the car gently started to coast along the street. It was an almost uncanny feeling one had. The motion cf the car produced exactly the same sensation that it would have mad the car started rolling down a. slight in- c1ane No power pulsations were felt

no jerk or lurch-just firm. gentle flow of power that carried the car along without effort but leaves one with the knowledge that an unlimited reserve power is directly at ones fin ger tips.
 The car was stopped absolutely still on the side of the mountain and allowed to begin coasting backwards. At the least touch of the throttle the car began a gentle upward climb. Ac- celeration was simply a matter left to the drivers mind. There was no time during the climb that the car could not gain speed without hesitation.
 Taken all in all, as far as the per formance of the car is concerned, it Is one of the most remarkable that l have ever experienced. The car Is de- signed with an idea of beauty and in fact resembles several of the high class gasoline cars now on the mar ket in outward appearance.

 In the interior of Germany margs- rine has been quoted recently at ( marks per pound whereas 1t formerly cost 2.s0 marks per pound. This is attributed to the fact that large quan- titles have lately been bought abroad at higher prices than formerly owing to the low rate of German exchange. The official rate of exchange for Au- gust at army headquarters is two marks, twenty-two pfennigs for ono franc, giving the mark a value In American money of fraction more than six cents.
