MANY MOTORISTS LIKE
 TO MAKE OWN REPAIRS

Instead of wanting some one to keep his car in shape to run all the while, many motorists take a lot of pride in their ability to make all minor ad- justments, and even to completely over haul his car.
 "A particular quality of car is best for this type of motorist." says Earl Mcclure, of the Mcclure Motor com pany Primarily such owners demand car of light weight that can be operated at a moderate cost. Larger cars have too many fine technical points for the amateur service man.
 "The car for such an owner must be designed and built so that the ordinary man can do his own repairs. It must be accessible to a point where limited working facilities and tools of the pri- vate garage are sufficient.
 And the car must be simple through out. It is perfectly possible for the average motorist to master the theories of motor car design and to handle ad- justments in a sensible way, but 1t is confusing to the worker who is not an expert mechanic to have a lot of com plicated parts.
 Because of the simplicity of design, Dort owners, as a rule, do most of their own work. They find it satisfying and economical. Present rates for garage work make overhauling quite an ex- pense. We are glad that Dort owners are their own service men, for by this means they keep the cars up and get better results"

THOMPSON HEADS
 PARKER CO. HERE'
Former Baron Pitcher Has Charge of Motor Con-
 pany Now

Carl Thompson, the old University of Georgia pitcher and later with the Bir- mingham Barons, and then with At 1anta during the season of 1913, is back in Birmingham, but not as a ball player. He is general manager of the E. R. Parker Motor company. local distributors of the Chandler and Cleveland cars.
 Perhaps you remember Thompson as a pitcher for the BarCns. Carlton Moles- worth turned him loose in 1913 and he went over to Atlanta on the same train with the Barons that night, donned a Cracker uniform and hurled Atlanta to 8 2-1 win over the Barons that day. It's the same boy-now he's in the automobile business
 Thompson started in the motor game with F. R. Parker in Atlanta several years ago. Thompson was handling the retail sales while Parker looked after the territory. Then Mir. Parker bought out the firm they were working for. Since that time, Thompson has had charge Of the retail sales in Atlanta.
 five been here three days" said lAr. Thompson yesterday, "and Pm amazed G the volume of business that the boy $ are doing here. The automobile busine ' in Atlanta at the present time is very quiet; everybody's got the blues But US not that way over nere. Blrmmg- ham is going right along, and I'm tickled to death to be here. I surely like to be where there is business, and Birmingham is that place.
 q haven't had much of an opportunity to get acquainted with my organization as yet, because the boys have been so busy making sales that I've been forced to give all my time and attention to that. Now, don't think that they're sell ing as many as they did several months ago, but they are making sales that | consider phenomenal for this time of year, and with business conditions all over the country as they are. We're dceVE good, solid business and I'm delighted with the outlook.
 Even on 9 cold, rainy day such as to- day, people are coming into the show rooms and looking over the cars. That's 8 good sign. It shows that they are in a buying mood If we can't sell them after we get them in here then that's our lookout"
 At any rate, Thompson is in a new po- siton, new town, has looked it over hastily and has come to the conclusion that he's glad he's here and that there is much business to be gotten.

WORN FLAP WILL CAUSE
 NO END OF TROUBLE

Have you ever had a tire go flat on frosty winter night? It's an incident that spells the beauty of the drive. If 1t happens in the chill of the early morning on @. hunting trip, it's espe- cially aggravating.
 Oftentimes its flap trouble. Motor ists seldom think of the little strip of fabric which fits against the rim and between the beads of the casing and the inner tube, yet it causes no end of trouble when worn out. It is not ex- pensive to replace nor difficult to ad- just.
 A good flap protects against cor rosion, and is the tubes best friend. It should fit evenly around the inside of the tire next to the rim. If caught out of place, it will often cut through the tube, and perhaps through one or more plies of the casing. Omitted altogether, the tube is quickly chafed through against the rim.
 Equipping standard tires with good flaps according to Miller tire service experts, is one of the most essential points in tire conservation.

Watch out for that skid-it's danger ous! You can't expect to avoid acci- |depts during the. winter months unless you exercise care in driving. The pave ments are treacherous. Use just lit- tie common morse sense" regarding speeding and rounding curves and you'll be all right Chains help a lot, but they are not a cure-all by any means. The truck again comes to the rescue.

price reductions possible. This is in evitable. but I can't see how it can happen before next summer, if then. In the meantime, slight savings in pro duction costs will be reflected in in- creasing values in the product. That process has already begun.
 After all, value received, and not price, IS the only thing the wise buyer cares about. He can get that today, if he is just a little wiser than his fel- lows, and he will enjoy something over the man who waits for something that in all probability will not happen

PREDICTS SAME RACE
 ON BY NEXT SPRING

"One can't discuss present conditions in the automobile industry without dis cussing present condi tions in all lines of business,'' says Charles D. Hastings, president and general manager of the
 Hupp Motor Car corporation. Con-
 trary to some peoples belief, the in-
 dustry has not been the victim of
 special circums tances; nor has it been
 affected in ways peculiar to itself
 But the future is not so complicated.
 Business is getting better every day
 in spite of the fact that winter weather
 is upon us. Next month looks even better than this month. Nor can we see anything but improvement as far ahead as we can look. Spring, to my mind is more than likely to bring with it the same old race between demand and supply, with demand far in the lead
 What about prices? No one can foretelI with certainty. Some produc- tion costs are going down. In time, enough of them will have gone down to make appreciable and egitimate iderstood when it is remembered that there are now about 900 cars with S2,0o0.o0o tires-now in use.
