CONGRESS Ma Y TAKE STEPS
TO PREVENT ACTION OF
TROOPS IN GERMANY

Many members OF congress de
clare American troops should be
sent into action only In case a re-
newal OF the world war is threaten
ed. They urge quick Qualification of
the status Of the Americans in Ger
many. The forces Of the other pow
ers are there 10 see that the terms
Of the peace treaty are carried out
but the Americans are there only to
see that the terms Of the armistiCe
are not violated If the Germans re-
fused to carry out the peace terms
the French and British troops might
act. but the Americans should not
participate. il is contended. because
this country has not ratified the
treaty.
on the other hand, IL is argued.
that any failure 10 comply with the
peace terms is a violation Of the
armistice, the terms OF which have
been incorporated into the treaty,
just as Germany on Nov. II, 1918,
agreed that they should be, and that
the treaty would be signed by Ger
many, and the terms carried out. It
Is understood that IL is commended
in administration circles that any
violation of the treaty terms Is a
violation Of the armistice. and that
the United States, still at war with
Germany. cannot with honor. stand
by and see those terms ignored. Sup

same course that the anti-League
senators have pursued with respect
to the United States fulfilling her OBJ
legations, since the armistice was
signed.

KYNE CANNOT GET
 ALONG WITHOUT HIS
 SOLDIER CHAUFFEUR

Peter B. Kyne, whose "Cappy KICKS
 is known to almost all readers of Amer ican magazines, is as devoted to motor ing in real life as he is to writing cap tivating yarns of the sea when the rlc- tion mood is him. His latest mo. toring anecdote. written to an official of the Marmon plant, follows'
 My chauffeur is one of my old sol- ders. He drove me in the army when I was a captain in ts~> .<-th field ar tillery and we have never been able to get along without each other ever since. Going into Yosemite Valley, we picked up an old gentleman at Inspiration Point. His carfhad broken a pinion gear and his son, who was driving, asked us to take the old gentleman down into Yose- mite Valley Going down the grade, the old gentleman looked over my Marmon and finally asked very blandly if 1t was Ford; whereupon my chauffeur mur- mured: Death .or such punishment as a court-martial may inflict'' l didn'. know there was human being who couldn't recognize Ford when he saw it.
 q used my Marmon for a little cross country touring behind my fox-hound pack, which is some use for Marmon. Within the next month I am going out to locate "a big lynx, and when l slay him I will drape him over the hood Of the Marmon, bank the dogs around it and send you some good photographs to refute the statement that the Marmon is only a highway car and cannot stand rough going.

Great plans are being made for the arrive in Birmingham from Atlanta on next Tuesday Motor car dealers are co- operating with the Chamber of Com merce, the Rotary, Kiwanis and Civitan Clubs and the Birmingham Automobts Club, with the one idea of staging a real greeting for the soldier boys It looks as if the motor transport convoy will be shown a real time while here.
 I'm very glad, indeed, to see The Age-Herald waging warfare on the mo- torists who insist upon blinding their brother motorists at night on the streets of Birmingham, said w. Reese Dun woody of the Packard Birmingham Mo tors Company yesterday.
 Its really a disgrace to have the motorists of this city drive through the streets with glaring headlights burning brightly. Many accidents are the direct result of glaring lights The cautious motorist is forced to pull up against the curb and bring his car to a full stop if he hopes to avoid accidents at night. Courtesy of the road? It's a lost art It seems that Birmingham motorists do not care about the other fellow, They l seem to like the idea of binding every t-body else and getting through the easi- est way they can

LETTER BUSTERS
 LONDON TAILORS
Query From California For Clothing Prices to Lord Mayor Starts
 Excitement

London June 15-(By Reciprocal News Service.)-A few days ago the lord mayor received a letter from FL J. Holmes, 1858 N. Wilson avenue, Pasadena, Cal, ask ing for addresses of tailors and for cloth- ing prices
 Addressing the lord mayor, MT. Holmes declared that the American people were "sweating under the yoke of profiteers; that he knew English clothing prices were within reason, and that he could sell scores of suits in his own neighbor- hood, if some good London tailor would get into communication with him.
 The lord mayor referred the letter to the London Chamber of Commerce. which wrote several tailors. These at once posted the letter prominently in their windows. under such headings as: From the Lord Mayor to Us.' As there is a wave of price cutting among the cheaper tailors since member of parliament MT Mallaby- -Deeley opened a large mass production shop to sell tailored suits at less than $25, the letter from California was worked in flamboyant shop fronts to best advantage.
 No doubt London styles will be com monly seen on the streets of Pasadena | this summer.

AUTO HAS LIFTED WORLD UP A PEG
Higher Efficiency and Hap piness Are Result of the
 Modern Motor Cars

Though the good old days of the home town silver cornet band are only memories to many of us, there is still many a com munty where the silver cornet band flourishes in all it's splendor. The fellow whose glorious job it is to beat the big drum and the musician whose deep throated horn has to be wound about his body two or three times before he can get into action properly are admired as much today as in the past. Then. too there still exists the orchestra of the home town silver cornet band whose duty it is to furnish music for the old-fash- toned square dance and the waltz. With only little stretch of the imagination the boys and girls of other years can almost hear the "zum-zum of the big bass viol. In the old days the "artists" who per formed on the big drum, the great horn and the bass viol had to solve their own 1 transportation problems. The horse and l buggy or wagon, and street cars, where l they had them, had to furnish the trans l portation or the performers toted their instruments around on their backs. Today the unwieldy drum, the mammoth horn and the big xiol are carried to city dance halls and country picnics in automobiles,
 "The automobile and it's wonderful utility has come into our lives in so many places and ways that it is now common place" says Ernest Lovelady of the l Christian-Lovelady Sales Company. Per haps it is timely to recall that 2,ooo,ooe 1 farmers own motor cars in this country alone. And anyone who has ever seen all the uses to which farmer puts car certainly must wonder why he wants to buy motor truck. Automobiles are used in their daily calls by 100000 doctors tThousands of city and travelling statesmen use motor cars daily in hundreds Of lines

register it's full approval of such pre- cecent. If automobile paper is bad or dangerous for the banks to handle. then by all means the banks should be warned against such credits.
 But we are not so clear as to the pro- vince of the federal bank to pass on the business or the pleasure of the American people. It smacks too much of paternal- ism Admitting the duty of the federal reserve banks to discourage any danger ous inflaj jon of bank credits, it seems that this duty could be performed and sb ould be performed by a general appli- ca ation of the powers of the reserve board, and not by singhng out certain ccmmodi- ties or industries that may appear un- necessary to the board. If the federal re- serve board has any such power, then 1t is a very dangerous power to be lodged in such as splace.
 It may be true that this ruling of the board may be for the best interests of the people on this occasion, but even this fact does not remove the fundamental ob- jection to such power. If the board can damn one industry or commodity, IL can surely favor another.
 If is the public duty of the individual banker to foster and protect the worthy enterprises of his community, but even this is not legal duty, but one that every banker must observe at his own neril and the gain or the less of public pa tronage is the measure of his success or failure.
 But no government board should be en- dowed with authority to regulate or re- strict the business or the pleasure or the American citizen, except by laws and or ders of general application. so long as the citizen pursues his business or ms bleas- ure in a legal manner

AutomofiUe Credits Editorial reproduced Nashville of May 24

The federal reserve bank has issued its warning against the financing of automo- miles that are used for pleasure. The ois- tinction between an automobile used for pleasure and one used for business IS rather hard to define. There is nothing in the appearance or the make of the dif- ferent cars that will serve as a safe basis for discrimination between the motives

MAN WHO BUYS AGAIN
 IS LIFE OF TRADE

Few firms exist on transient business. It is the repeater" the man who finds in the goods his merchant sells, entire satisfaction, who comes back and buys again who is the life of all trade. Re peaters' are tribute to the popularity and worth of a business or product.
 That is why the Cole Motor Car Com pany of Indianapolis is so proud of it's record of "repeaters.'' It is because of the fact that Cole owners when they come to buy a new car, buy Cole Aero-Eights, that the Cole Company has been forced to double it's output and still is unable to meet the demand for it's product.
 There is the case of N. D. Chard Of Newcastle, Ind, MY. Chard recently took delivery of an Aero-Eight roadster It was the seventh Cole car that MT. Chard has purchased. So satisfactory has been the performance of each of these Cole cars that MT. Chard will consider no other make.
