 ReDieW

We are much gratified to state that transactions and inquiries received in this office indicate very strong HOME OWNING movement in Birmingham. This idea of owning your own home is not confined to the residential side Merchants and other busl- ness men are buying the stores in which they are locateI. or seeking other locations with the view of ownership and permanent occupancy. The residential home owner and the business home owner" are both wise. They are protecting themselves against the advances in rentals and identify ing themselves with the pros- perity and development of Bir- mingham.
 We regard the home-owning movement as the best evidence that the active real estate mar kets now in evidence rests upon the most substantial of all bases absolute confidence in Bir- iningham. We are cooperating with this movement to the full extent of our ability and re- sources.
 Another evidence of home con- struction is the steady sale of lots in the Country Club District Mountain Terrace. Cliff Road and AAamont Road, which are offer ing on the basis of the cost of equipment made prior to the war. Property of this description is becoming scarce and the prices are making sales almost auto matic. Continued bad weather has checked work on the grounds of the new residences which we have completed. but a few days of sunshine will put these in the market. We continue to in- vite applications as a matter of fairness to the public. although we have already quite waiting list.
 Our Mortgage Loan Department is handling a volume of applica- tions for loans on residential lots. Another indication of home building activities. We have not advanced rates, though we may have to do so at an early date.

$4,000 U. S. DEAD TO
REMAIN IN FRANCE
Graves Registration Service viii Res
pect Wishes Of Next Of

Paris, Aug Representatives of
the American War Department here
estimate that about 60 per cent of the
American soldiers buried in France
will be exhumed and taken back to
their native land. A little more than
II 600 American burials have been
registered by the Graves Registration
Service and about $1,000 Of these are
in France.
Not all Of these soldiers will be re-
turned to American so l. as the United
States War Department proposes to
carry back to America only those re-
quested by their next of kin. This pol
icy will result in leaving in France
those whose next of kin ask that they
be left here and those whose removal
is not requested 1t is understood also
that the unidentified American dead
will be left IN France.
Decision by the Franco.American
Commission that bodies of American
soldiers buried in the zone Of military
operations may be exhumed any me
after September IL next ends long
period Of negotiations between French
and American authorities The French
desired to meet the wishes
of the American nation, but entertain
ed serious doubts as to the adyisabili-
ty of removing the American dead
from the zone of operations this year
owing to labor and transportation di-
dlculties involving the passing Of the
bodies over the railways and highways
at a time when the French population
was in the first stage Of its recovery
from the economic and sentimental
strain of We years of war. The
French Government feared that the
granting of such permission to Ameri-
ca would bring on clamorous agitation
{rom other nations for similar permis
sion and that this would hamper the
rehabilitatio nof, French industrious
conditions.

ESSEX CAR CLIMBS
MANSFIELD IN STORM
Bennington Driver Makes Ascent from
Stowe Side Under Extremely
UnfaVorabIe Conditions

Burlington, Aug. 3.-Mountain climb
ing is now an approved and enjoyable
sport, but mountain climbing by auto
mobile is still in its infancy but coming
fast. AutOmobi mountain climbers
find a fine test Of their cars and of
the skill of their drivers in ascending
the road up the Stowe side of Mt.
Mansfield to the Summit House. So
far this season but sx cars have made
the trip and most of them achieved
their goal after considerable trouble.
In each instance the climb was made
under the most favorable circumstan.
ces so that the Saturday performance
fof q sturdy little Essex car stands out
pretty sharply
This car negotiated the clumb which
is approximately So miles in exact y
IS minutes Just as the car started
up the mountain there occurred a
veritabIe cloudburst so that the road
was quickly transformed INTO "a Quag.
mire IN its softest spots and into a
veritable hill torrent On the steep
grades Right through the torrent
throwing up showers of mud in the
bad places and scattering. the water
Jas it pushed through the rushing
stream the Essex made the entire
trip without chains and without a
single stop TO cool off its eng ne or to
take on water
One must know he character of the
road and its various grades to appre.
ciate the performance. Although con
siderable work has been done upon it
it is still far from perfect in the best
of weather aud in a severe rainstorm
is thing Of terror but nothing daunted
tha Essex rode jauntily up from base
to summit without skip or the
81 ghtest inclination to falter.
The trip from Burlington to the top
of the mountain was made in two
Iand one half hourI although no par.
ticular attempt was made to make a
record run The car was driven by
Earl w. Williams of Bennington and
carried regulation load.
