Famous Dirt Track Race Star Will Answer Questions in
 Age-HeraId

Larry D. Stone. famous dirt track auto racer and we'll known in Bir- mingham, where he has lived, will conduct a weekly auto lesson and auto question and answer column in The Age-Herald. known as Larry's Lessons
 The preliminary publication of the column starts in the auto section in this edition and the questions and answer will start next week
 Stone broke into the limelight here last year at the Elks' benefit auto races. at which time he broke the state record twice and was big win ner in the events. He was also a big winner at the recent state fair races, winning honors in> Premocar z, the most recent racing addition of the Preston Motors corporation.
 Stone has driven both the Premo- car 10 and Premocar in Birming- ham and set the state record for a mile in 5S seconds in the Blitzen Benz. This record has been equalled by Johnnie Raimey and Bob Robinson.
 It was thought for time that Stone would retire from racing after his injuries at Atlanta this spring, but he drove throughout the 1921 year after his recovery and expects to drive in 1922

NINE TEEN MILLION HORSES AND MULES IN UNITED STATES
Seventeen Million on Farms and Rest in Cities, Says Re- port'of Horse AssoCia-
 ton Secretary
 By Associnted Press

Chicago, December 1O.-Data com piled by the Horse Association of America indicates that there are more than 19.00o, GOO horses and mules in the United States, 17,00o,000 of which are on farms and more than 100000 in cities, according to the annual report of Wayne Dinsmpre, secretary of the association, made here before the annual meeting of the association recently.
 In speaking of the value of horses and mules as compared with auto mobile trucks, MT. Dinsmore said:
 ''As a result of studies, other sur veys made, and definite statements with cost figures furnished to us by firms who own and use 1927 head of horses, we are now in a position to say positively that on hauls within horses working radius, i. e., the distance team can travel h day, horses furnish more economical serv- ice than motorized equipment.
 "On local delivery work, from store to store, or house to house, the evil dence, is overwhelmingly for horse- drawn equipment. Ice companies, coal companies, groceries. bakeries, milk companies. and all others whose business involves frequent stops and delivery work, agree emphatically with the great packing companies whose verdict is. On all hauls under 20 miles per day, the horse is most economical"
 In speaking of horses in the cities. MT. Dinsmore said
 Our investigations in cities dur ing the past year show that com petition will force all cities to de- Velop abundant terminals and team tracks, and this factor will inevit- ably lead to increased horse use. Bos- ton, with many wharves and team tracks, has very few hauls that are not under two miles for the round trip, and Boston moves her enor- nous shipments of wool. leather, fish. vegetables, fruits, etc, at a very low cost. Seventy per cent of her merchandise is horse-drawn, and she enjoys the distinction of having the best lot of horses. on the average, of any city in America
 In showing how the development of the horse helps every section of the country, the report said:
 "The Georgia farmer who buys a team of mules pays over money which finds it's way pto the pocket of a Nebraska farmer, who, in turn, buys clothes made from the cotton raised by the Georgia farmer. Both profit Nebraska cannot produce cotton. and it is more profitable for Georgia to raise cotton than to raise mules. Faulty road building in Pennsyl- vania has reduced the prices of horses in Colorado, for hardsurfaced road ways. without side roads for farm l teams. have forced farmers adjacent i to such highways to keep their teams off the public roads. becaus9 of dan. 1 ger of injury"

The AgeHerald starting with this issue Is inaugurating a series of edu- cational articles on automotive sub jects entitled "Larry's Lessons" They are being conducted by Larry Stone, one of the leading race drivers of the country, and well known as an automotive engineer having been rated as among the 10 leading auto motive genii of the day.
 Racing automobiles. because of their special and delicate mechanism. demand the attention of the best en- gineers and mechanics. Years of ex- perience on the race track, many hours of hard study in the shop and service on hard tests, have taught Larry Stone many lessons which may be of benefit to the readers.
 In each issue stone will answer uestions which will be propounded by readers of the auto section The same may deal with any auto prob lem which confronts any reader or may deal with auto race data and dope.
 The questions may be sent care of Auto Editor, of the paper and ad dressed to Stone. The questions will receive the personal attention of Larry stone, who will make an effort to answer them quickly and intelli- gently.

Daily the Ger man press publishes aggressive dis courses attacking the territorial. military and financial clauses of the treaty. Some of our good friends call us nervous They are wrong. We are not nervous, but we are not blind or deaf, either.
 France Is as anxious as any power to arrive at the government of the world through peace treaties. but she sees in Germany's present frame. of mind the principal obstacle to such a course.

 ervations made on December 13 by the United States. The view widely taken here is that it is not the words of the text but the good will and faith of the signatories that consti- tute the chief value of such agree ments.
 France unreservedly approves the spirit behind this treaty. Perhaps because of her long sufferings, cer- tainly because of her complex his tory, France believed in frank mu tual explanations between nations. As for formal texts. the happenings of the past two years have rendered her skeptical of them. France asks only for assurance, and is therefore pleased to see a center of important trade routes and international com munications made the subject of frank, open explanations
 Great American Victory
 Evidently the conferees rad to avoid certain essential difficulties. It is the law of these conferences that they must succeed quickly or not succeed at all. Yet the sincere deter imitation to arrive at really i'm portant decisions was evident One of them was the dissolution of the Anglo Japanese alliance. This was a splendid victory for American diplomacy, a victory that will be- come definitive so soon as the causes for the present groupings of powers shall disappear.
 Whether American adversaries of the Versailles treaty like it or not, the new pact is a return toward the international solidarity which the Senate so emphatically rejected in 1919. MT. Borah has not been slow in making his complaint as a conse- quence. But this time Mir. Lodge is a party to the contract. It is true that the new agreement contains no impertives and does not commit the signers to anything very tremendous. and this fact permits so notorious an adversary of Wilsonian "entangle- ments" as MT. Lodge to sign it. But

 Paris, December 17-Inclusion of France in the four-power treaty agreement concerning the Pacific islands is, of course, welcome news here, but French opinion does not attach to it the exceptional impor- tance that seems to be attributed to it in the United States. This diff ference, which is one of degree only, is quite natural, for Frenchman thinks of the great importance of the French possessions in IndoC Chi na, and holds that it would have only-United States, Great Britain and Japan-without consulting France and obtain higher adhesion.

LARRY D. STONE By Bill Breitenstein

Before the readers of the Larry's Lessons column hear the auto words of wisdom from Larry D. Stone him self it will be well. to say word about Stone and tell just how and why he is qualified to teach lessons and answer the auto queries which he will do from week to week.
 Stone in his day has been an fndes pendent race driver. an A. A. A. race driver and licensed pilot in the In ternational Motor Contests associa- tion, the latter being the governins body of practically all the dirt track races in America.
 Much of Stones practical experi ence, which has made him such q figure among auto engineers, is due to his early training with the Knox and Alec firms in the days when cars of that make were popular. As testing engineer Stone had many experiences that were both exciting and instructive. His participation in various "hill-climbs" of more or less ancient auto history. was always a leading feature.
 Had Wide Experience
 Stone has piloted or superintended the driving of many cars on long, hard grinds, which were part of fac tory tests. He has been the skip per of trial trains through the desert sands of Nevada, along the preeipi- tous slopes of southwestern Montana in the Big Hole country; had charge of one of the first army truck trains sent into Mexico in the Villa pur- suit and for a time was in charge of travelling mission, in which com. plete miniature church was. taken from place to place on wheels
 According to Stone, his chief diet at that time was raw 'billy-goatH meat.
 Was Aviation Inspector
 During the war Stone served as an official inspector of airplane engines and was sent from one to another ot the leading factories where the Lib erty motors were being built. Sew eral years before he had retired from the auto racing game, but when tho war was over Stone re-entered the racing game and was quite a promi- nent figure in the 1919 dirt-traek races Among some of the big events in which he participated W ~e the auto races at the Iowa Sta0e Fair at Des Moines, the Wisconsin State Fair at Milwaukee,; the Labor Day Derby at Quincy; the Wichita Inter national Sweepstakes and the Dallas American Legion races. During practically the entire 1919 season he drove the famous Minerva race car and in one instance, at Burlington, Iowa. narrowly escaped death when he went over 20-foot banked-up turn, through three fences and land ed in pickle field. This was att tributed to unnecessary recklessness and Stone drew down a three months suspension and had his racing license revoked for 90 days. But Stone still followed the race game.
 In 1920 Stone gained his greatest fame as a race driver. He started the season with a Peugot mount. which did not meet his idea of speed possibilities, and later transferred to Deusenberg &. with which he estao- | lished many records Stone raced l from Toledo to Portland, Ore, and | from British Columbia to Mobile m | that year. winding up his sensational racing season at Birmingham as a | Premocar driver, after selling his

AGAINST THE LAW TO
DISCHARGE FIREWORKS S

1t would be we'll for the people of
Monet to know that it is strictly
against the law for anyone to dis
charge fireworks of any kind in the
city, only on proper occasions.
On Tuesday evening a crowd Of
small boys were shooting fire crackers
in the business section of town, and
were taken in charge by the Mayor,
and were taken to his office where he
read to them a part of the City Ordin-
ance prohibiting discharging fire
works only on lawful occasions such as
the Fourth of July.
Following is an extract from the
City Ordinance concerning the matter:
1T is strictly against the law to dis
charge fire crackers, Roman candles
kindle or light bon fires or to make
any other kind of illumination between
sunrise and sunset, except on proper
occasions, without the permission
from the Mayor"
Mr.. Chapel has notified the off
GERS that any one caught shooting
firecrackers should be punished to the
extent Of the law.
All persons that have been or feel
like indulging in this kind of pastime
should be governed by the law.
