Tin for Motorists

There seems to be much rivalry be- tween the people of Andalusia and Florala," said Judge Horace c. Wilk- inson, ''and in motoring through the former they will route you through Baker rather than .Florala- This, how ever, is a mistake as the road to Baker is very much worse than that to Flor ala. It took me just exactly two hours longer to go to Baker, even though it was twelve miles shorter.
 The blue books route is through Florala. but when we stopped at An dalusia on our way to Camp Walton. Florida, we were told that the road was impossible and we would be un- able to get through. On this advice we went through Baker. but never again.
 Even if there is rivalry between the two towns. I think it is an injus- tice to motorists to route them through Baker when the other road is much better. There are, at least, six or eight motor parties passing through An dalusa each week en route to Florida If they take the advice and fail to keep to the blue book route once, they will not do so the second time"

Scarcity of Houses,
 Slow Rate of Building

IA M ANY old residences are being AVU razed and garages, filling stations and small stores are going up in their places. We want these things. It means expansion. But it means also an increasing scarcity of dwellings.
 What Birmingham needs above all else is homes anl comfortable tene. ments.
 The present situation keeps prices high and unless men build their owr homes or investors erect houses fol people to live in, the tendency 10 til higher rental values will be greatly in evidence. If several thousand houses were built this fall, every one of them would be occupied at fair prices.
 Birmingham is growing steadily, but the lack of dwellings is a serious handicap to the progress of the city.
 Many persons with sufficient means to build are holding back ex- pecting the price of material and labor to come down. But in view of the active demand for houses. build ing operations should go forward without further delay.
 Every citizen who is now a renter can, at moderate outlay, own his own home. Building lots in the sub- urbs are not high. An attractive site few miles from the courthouse and convenient to a car line can be &C., quired for five hundred to one thou sand dollars. And the beginning of home can be built for very little if his bank account be small. Thus a man may soon have cozy dwelling at little cost.
 Three thousand new. homes are needed right now.l Suburban build ing on moderate scale would 20 a long way to solve the problem. This work should start at once

BOOKS THE BEST FRIENDS Sidney Dark in John o'London's $
 Weekly.
 When once the love of books has come into . mans life hs can never be lonely. he can never be bored, he can never lose his interest in life, he can never be quite unhappy. Books are the friends that never fail, and the men and women that only live in books are the best and the most real friends of all.
 If I were to set down the names of the twenty friends who mean most to me. should find that more than half of them lived in the novels of Dickens and Thackeray. Dumas and Daudet. Wells and Hardy and Meredith
 The happy life is not spent altogether in the world of streets and shops and offices. A large part of it must be lived in the world of imagination. And living with the imaginings of great writers, we. too, learn to dream and the happiest homes in the world arc the castles in the air that we build for ourselves. They are, indeed, the only homes the foundations of which are unshakable. rocks.

Port of Birmingham
 Also a Good Slogan

TN Houston, Texas, the slogan is S "deep water" They think deep water, they work for deep water, they place deep water above all oth- CT things. They have spent seven million dollars to get it, and they are going to issue two million dollars of bonds to improve their wharves.
 When an exposition at Houston was discussed, the business men of that community agreed with one ac- cord that if the cost should in any way interfere with the dock exten- sion plans, the exposition should not be considered.
 This is the type of single-minded devotion to community development that counts for real achievement.
 Deep water lay twenty-seven miles from Houston. Houston appropriated millions to match government money and the Houston ship channel was dug. Now ocean liners drawing twenty-eight feet tie up at Houston docks within two and a half miles of the courthouse.

 This is one of the elements which we considered in deciding to locate a i plant in Birmingham. This is trans portation terminal It is natural point of car assem blaze.
