ALABAMA GRAPHITE
 INDUSTRY NOW ON
 PERMANENT BASIS

With the early completion of tn" lew $1S0,o0O plant of the Dixie Com ,olidated Graphite Company at Asr"
 and, in Clay county there will b.
 tight modern plants in operation i- he Alabama graphite field.
 The new plant is to have a capacity
 If 400 tons of ore per diem. The ma-
 .hinery in this plant is the last word
 n the reduction of graphite ore, and
 will turn out about sixteen tons cf the

 Graphite is now selling at II cents
 per pound. The new plant is expect ,d to produce graphite at cents per
 pound.
 The Quenelda Graphite Corporation
 Jf Ashland is already producing the leduced graphite at cents per pounu.
 The Alabama graphite field was the
 center of a lot of speculation ourng
 me war period. when graphite was telling at a high figure owing to the
 Aon importation of Ceylon and other
 xrapnites. As result many mills
 were put up in a hurry and some were badly placed with reference to de- posits. There was also lot or spec alation> pure and simpi~
 Since the war graphite prices hay ing sought lower level. the enter prises of the mushroom ana specula- tfve kind have been abandoned, but che large and well-equipped plants

 the present price of graphite are earn ing considerable profit.

Among the large takers ars she Joseph Dixon Crucible Compan, and the Crucible Steel Company. These .vo alone could absorb the entire out. put of the Alabama graphite field. It is understood that the W. o.

Slx-STATER MOTORISTS
IN EVERY TOWN NOW
Driver Who Hasn't "Toured"
Loses His Caste Among
Automobilists.

Once upon a time, in the dear dim
past. II a motorist ventured eighty
six speedometer miles away from the
portals of his home town there was
mayors committee to welcome his
return, the local Gazette linked his
name with that Of the late Mr.. Boone
and he was somebody.
No difference if his car returned
by fast freight.
He was hero.
Nowadays a motoris who hasn't
driven his car in at least six states
sits in jealous silence in the back of
any self-propelled gathering and re-
solves to bust out at the first oppor-
tune moment on a Iong-distance tour.
The reason is obvious. No one mere
ly drives car any more. He tours, or
he loses caste at the club, and his
Mrs. is pitied every Tuesday before
she arrives for bridge.
But the six staters and even those
who own and use five different VOL
umes of the automobile blue books
aren't satisfied. More and more Of
them are speaking of the coast to
coast trip as "a jaunt-" And Louis
lana licenses aren't as common in
Boston as-well as Massachusetts, Ii
censes are in San Diego.
The long tour is long no longer.
And recognizing this fact, and be-
cause of countless inquiries. the max
ers Of the automobile blue books
have added another totheir eleven
volumes of road guidance-the Trans
continental.
While the minute details of the
other volumes are not included the
tourist may travel where he will oveS
main routes to any prominent point
in America and have complete road
guidance every mile of the way.

No Fear for Ten Years, Says
Motor Age.

There need be no fear Of a gasoline

that there is to be serious shortage
of gasoline that will cause many cars

Occasionally We are beset with ru-
mors that the next generation-or
perhaps the next ten years-will see
the last of our fuel says the article.
"In some cases we have heard that
cars sold today will not outlive their
period of useful life. because the fuel
will not be available to run them
This talk is propaganda, pure and
simple. It is true that as we draw
on our resources we deplete the sup
ply. But depletion has not as yet
been carried to the point of exhaus-
