made one of the strongest civic factors.
 The automobile game is the coming thing in this country. and the private
 owners should recognize the advantages of working through a common medium for their common good. That is the purpose of the Birmingham Automobile Club"
 In regard to the activities of the club.
 Mir. Estes said: "Of course, the prime purpose of the organization is to be Of benefit to it's members. We keep de-
 scription of each members car and if it is stolen report is sent to other automobile clubs throughout the country,
 who in turn furnish the police depart
 ments of the respective cities with
 copy. This club has been instrumental
 in recovering a nnn1ber of cars during
 the past few months.
 We keep in touch with road condf-
 tions throughout the south and are able
 to give up-to-date information on these
 to our members and others. Of course
 we have the 1920 Blue Books. and by
 these are able to route person to any
 part of the country. Now with the ar rival of summer a large number of Bir-
 mingham folks are planning to make automobile trips to the eastern and wes- tern states and we are routing practi-
 cally all of these.
 RENDERS MANY SERVICES From a strictly local standpoint, the Autom obile Club is always looking to the best interests of automobile owners and renders thousand little services in this respect that the passing public meyer knows about. We also are always striv- ing to have ordinances passed and en- forced that tend to safer and saner driv- ing, and from time to time make recom- mondations to the city commission who are very friendly in receiving these recommendations
 "The big civic feature is that every tourist who passes through Birmingham calls at the office of the Automobile Club and asks for information. Being member of the American Automobile As- socation, this club is obligated to serve members of all other automobile clubs and according to our secretary, 90 pe- cent of the tourists belong to an au- tomobile club in some part of the coun- try. They recognize it's value both at
 home and in stranger places. That is what we want the automobile owners In Birmingham to do."

ONLY 12 PER CENT OF
 ROADS ARE SURFACED

'Only 12 per cent of the roads in Amer lea are improved with some form or sur facing" says M. R. Christian of the Christian-Lovelady Sales Company, local Kissell distributor.
 With over 2,40O,000 miles of public roads in the United States, only 299,oVo miles of them have been surfaced. what is more, the roads are poorest where needed most. Iowa with some of the poorest roads in the country has more motor truck per capita than any other state. Legislation is beginning to realize the importance of motor trucks in the

Automobile Club Planning

least seven thousand of these are in the city of Birmingham. The Birmingham Automobile Club does not accept for membership every person who makes ap- piication; we feel that d machine bear ing the emblem of the club should repre- sent the sane element of automobile drivers and it reflects discredit on the organization to have members who do not observe the rules of the game.
 However, we want every person in

EXAMINE SPRING CLIPS

If any proof be required of the neces- sity of keeping spring clips tight at all times it may be found in the face that neither dealers nor manufacturers will replace a spring that is broken through the center bolt hole-the place where most springs give way observes a con-
 tributor to American Motorist, who goes on to say:
 'Breakage of this nature is taken as evidence that the spring clips were not kept tight. The spring clips are sub- ject to bending in two directions with the result that excessive strains are im- posed at the weakest point which in this case is at the bolt hole. The spring clips should be seated perfectly tight by draw ing the nuts up as close as possible with wrench of such size that there is no question of their being tight. It is well also to bear in mind that even a nut secured by lock washer will ultimately work loose, hence the necessity for look ing over your spring clips now and then. :"

MRS. MARGARET H. LANDSDEN.

Mrs, Margaret H. Lansden, was
born at Lavinia, Carroll county,
Tenn, April 18th, 1856, and died Sept.
End, 1920, in the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. W. L. Noel, in Lexington,
Tenn, where she made her home for
the past two years.
She was the widow Of the late r.
d. Lansden, former sheriff Of Car
roll county, Tenn, and had been
teacher in the Madison county schools
for several years, after which for the
past seven years she had been en-
ployed by the government in Home
Demonstration work.
Mrs. Landsden was a member Of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
Her death was the result of COM
plications of diseases, thought to be
attributed to fall she received on the
streets of Jackson, Tenn, about four
years ago.
Deceased is survived by the follow
ing relatives: Two brothers, M. f.
Heron, Nashville, Tenn, and Tom
Heron, Trezevant, Tenn, one sister,
Mrs. j. B. Townes, of Jackson, Tenn,
three daughters, Miss Opal Lansden,
of Jackson, Tenn, Mrs. J. W. Swink,
Jr., of Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Mrs.
W. L. Noel, Of Lexington, Tenn, and
one son, R. D. Lansden, Of Ardmore,

Will Howard Jones, here with his
bride on their honeymoon trip, went
to Jackson Wednesday to attend the
funeral Of Mr.. D. L. Murrell, former
ly of Jackson, who died in Denver,
Colorado, last Saturday. Mr.. Muir
rell was but 80 years old, was a vic
tim of tuberculosis, and was the head
of the Murrell Lumber Company, Of
Memphis, with which Will Jones is
nection and has risen to a position
of confidence. Perhaps thirty years
ago the Murrell family was well
known in Jackson, the father of D. L.
Murrell having represented this dis
trict in the State Senate.
Just a word in your confidential
eaer: Visit the sick and the afflict-
ed-then others will come to see you
under like circumstances. Otherwise
you will perhaps be disabled and lie
there and wonder why Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith and Jones and Brown do not
visit you-until your mind runs back
to the fact that the aforesaid Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith and Jones and Brown
were confined to their homes and that
YOU DID NOT HAVE TIME TO GO
TO SEE THEM. Then will come to
YOU the fact that others are doing UNI
to you as you did unto them. The
man who says he has not the time to
visit his neighbors either in sickness
or health is a-well, he is economical
in the use of the truth. Better think
of these things.
Congressman T. W. Sims and wife,
who have spent the summer here, left
last Saturday to spend about two
weeks with their elder son, Kent
Sims, who is lawyer and farmer at
Indianola, Miss. After this visit Mr..
Sims and wife will return to Wash
ington, there joining their daughters,
Misses Marie and Enid. The pres
ence in Lexington Of our worthy Con-
gresham and his excellent wife has
been enjoyed by their several friends.
Mr.. Sims is always the same depend
able man that he has been without
variation during his twenty-four
years in Congress. Mrs. Sims is a
splendid woman, truly worth her
weight in gold--and it is to many a
matter Of serious regret that her fu-
turelife can not be so arranged that
she can spend summers here as she
has in the past, condition which we
also fear in connection with Mr.. Sims.
For the full twenty-four years The
Progress has fought for Mr.. Sims,
knowing him to be worthy Of every
effort in his behalf. May Mr.. and
Mrs. Sims have many more years Of
life filled with the best recompense
which they deserve for the good they
have done.

IN SAD AND LOVING MEMORY.

OF my wife, Daisy, who died Aug
ust goth, 1919.
Twelve sad months of time have pass
Since you babe me last goodbye,
And the angels summons called you,
To home beyond the sky.
Life seems so sad and lonely
Without your smiling face,
But God has given you a brighter
home
Than any earthly place.
But when the shades Of night are
falling
And | am sitting all alone,
In my heart there comes longing,
II you only could come home.
Some day-it will come in the future,
When the summons will fall on my
ears,
I shall meet you there in your glory.
Were there is no sadness nor tears.
Oh, how my thoughts do wander
To your grave so cold and deep,
And many a night | lie awake and
think Of you,
When others are asleep.
You are gone but not forgotten,
Nor shall you ever be,
As long as life and memory last,
shall remember thee.
Sadly missed by your husband,
