 USEFULNESS
 With this unequaled record of past usefulness, the institution appeals with confidence to every friend of higher learning for liberal financial aid that its educational prosperity and increas- ing popularity may not be frustrated for lack of endowment and equipment
 Tt needs at once to meet it's increas- ing opportunity d half million dollars or new buildings and equipment an immediate increase of 50 per cent in its faculty, and an additional endow- ment of not less than two and d half millions. The present movement for a million dollars of additional endow- ment is therefore but a beginning, and the university feels sure that those who are interested in the production or the educated leadership of America will not allow an institution with such associations. such an amazing rec ord or past achievement, such growing popularity and influence and such bril- liant opportunities of future useful ness, to be crippled in it's great work for lack of working capital"

Great Virginia Institution Is Furnishing Men of Highest Type to Business and Statecraft, and Is Badly Han dcapped for Lack of Adequate Equipment
 in Faculty and Buildings

Handicapped with lack of facilities and equipment. Washington and Lee University is in communication with thinking people throughout the south to adjust the situation.
 In order to erect several buildings, pay the faculty members incomes upon which they can live and hold the great school to it's standard, more endow- ment is necessary.
 Before communicating with the souther states at large, the representa- tive men of the school raised half a million dollars. They need another $500 GOO
 William A. Bell is field secretary for the work. He is In Birmingham now. Mir. Bell says that four men who are discussed for the presidency are Wash ington and Lee graduates, John W Davis, United States ambassador to Great Britain, Miles Poindexter, United States senator from Washington; Rob ert l.. Owens, United States senator from Oklahoma, and Newton D. Baker United States Secretary of War.
 Regardless of the attitude of per- son or party to these gentlemen, the fact remains" says MT. Bell, that their prominence is compliment to their alma mater"
 With Mir. Bell in Birmingham are pr. James Lewis Howe of the Washington Fa I White. librarian of the university.
 Alumni of the university say it is unique in that with one exception, It is the only great educational insttu- nominational affiliation of a financial nature. It was founded by America's first President who gave s50,000 for the nucleus of the endowment. This gum is intact today and it's interest goes 50 support of the university.
 After the war between the states Gen R. F.. Lee became president of the insti- tuition, his work and presence giving 1t it's second great impetus.
 GREATEST ENROLMENT
 Without support from the state or from any individual denomination, Washington and Lee University today finds itself with the greatest enroll ment in it's history. faced with the present terrific cost of existence, and an inadequate endowment.
 In each southern state alumni as- sociations and the friends of the uni versity are working to bring the en- dowment up to living basis.
 At the luncheon given in the South ern Club yesterday the Birmingham and Alabama campaign for more funds was launched.
 Dr. Howe, in addressing the alumni present, in pair. said:
 The university is an old and well established and prosperous factory, which, owing to the demand for it's product. has far outgrown its working capital and must be more adequately financed or face disaster.

INTERNATIONAL ID | HAVE NEW FACTORY

The International motor truck is to be put as soon as possible into greatly ex- tended production. Harvester Company officials have just secured a site for tA> erection of the largest motor truck r'an. m tie world to provide their truck with manufacturing facilities more in keeping with American and world demand.
 Cyrus Mccormick, Jr., who will have charge of the construction, equipment and operation of this new development says:
 The site of the new plant. which will be in addition to Akron works, is sit uated at Fort Wayne, Ind, about three and a half hours ride from Chicago and on the N. Y. c. & St. L., Wabash, Penn sylvania New York Central and Oht Electric railroads. The facilities for In- and distribution were investigated of twenty-eight industrial centers in the United States before the Fort Wayne site was selected. in order to find the very best base for International motor truck extension In word. Fort Wayne was selected for it's strategic situation with respect to the delivery of raw materials from the company's mining and lumber and steel producing properties and from available sources of purchase and with respect to the quick and facle distribu- tion of the finished product.
 Fort Waynes position is favorable geographically and it's railroads and their connections are the most completely sup piled with that special equipment which is needed for delivering International IT otor trucks to the company's dealers and distributors the country over and to the 107 International Harvester branch houses in the United States and Canada.

EXPERIENCES RELATED

Many experiences encountered along the road were related by the officers of the convoy. The trucks were running on scheduled time until Alabama was reached when the delays were encoun- tered Several bridges had to be rebuilt so that the heavy trucks might pass over them in safety. The roads were in bad shape after recent rains, and for that reason the convoy was subjected to many delays.
 Colonel Franklin related many experi- ences of the long journey, and was reas- sured by Ed Johnston that he and his convoy came through Alabama about two years too soon MT Johnson told of the s55, GOO good roads bond issue that had been voted by the people of this state last February, and that good roads soon would be the rule in Alabama. MT Johnston stated that Alabama had voted more money for good roads than any state in the union in comparison to size and means and population.
 Asa Rountree, of the Bankhead high way commission, a Birmingham man, is making the transcontinental trip with the convoy He was one of the speakers at the dinner and afterwards invited the of ficers and guests to his beautiful home on Cliff road, where the remainder of the evening was spent.
 Kelly B. Spencer of the Firestone Ship-by-Truck bureau; Ed Johnston. of the Consolidated Motor Company. and Earl Ford, of the Cruse-Crawford Man ufaeturing Company, formed the special committee in charge of the arrangements.
