Most Shanghai servants are called simply Boy" or "Amah" or "Coolie," but ours chose those names, as distinctive for sery- ants there as James and Bridget are with us.

 Equally enthusiastic about the Bir- mingham Automobile club is MT. Dobbins, the secretary, who in every possible way assists president Davis in the good work that is being done. and to whose energy and pep" much of the success Is due.
 "One ct the things that am do- ing" said MT Dobbins in speaking of the Birmingham Automobile club is making arrangements with Automo- bile clubs in other cities to furnish our club with information on road conditions, hotel accommodations, etc. into and oat of the;' respective cities. in return for whic1 they are to re- ceive from US this information re- garding our city.

 "1f man joins an organization of this sort and then sits back with the Let George do it attitude, he would GO better never to join at all.

 Today there are hundreds of wom- en who drive their own cars. Before the war there were few, but with the training in the motor service" for war work, and the countless wom- en who qualified as drivers, they number almost as many as the men today; certainly far more than they did before the war.
 Women think nothing now of start ing out-just a crowd of women a sort of "Adamless Eden" affair, as it were, to motor from one end of America to another; not a man in sight; the woman herself at the wheel with all her accessories ready in case of "blow-out," a puncture. or any old thing that can happen; or she can mend car as quickly as a man; and if nothing else Is handy she'll take out of her hair one of her perfectly good admirers. namely, a "hairpin''-womans weapon for all things--and fix any trouble that may happen to occur.
 And why can women, as. well as men,, now make automobile journeys with so much ease and. safety? Merely because of the work done by automobile clubs in the matter of good roads. and protection in regard to everything that spells service to motorists" fact which has es- tablished the automobile clubs of America as one of the greatest ad- juncts ever instituted in it's history.

 In a few words it is this. To strive to make conditions better for car owners in Birmingham and Jefferson Der of the automobile clubs of Amer ica the same courtesy.
 In talking with President Davis a few days ago in regard to the activi- ties of the Birmingham Automobile club, he said among other things'
 Perhaps the most important thing that we are now promoting Is the routing of tourists to Florida over the Bee Line our object being to bring into Birmingham at least 200,s coo visitors next winter. We have a very nice tourists camp and las. season we had a great many visitors who stopped here. but with the im- proved conditions of the roads be- tween here and Nashville there is no reason now why the Birmingham Au- tcmobile club cant route thousands of tourists this way.
 ''Ir is estimated that these tourists spend at the rate of sI0 a day while they are in a city," he continued "and you readily see what that would mean to Birmingham. Besides hav- ing an opportunity of visiting the Magic City and seeing the splendid opportunities presented, there is no

"The Birmingham Automobile club is very young in years but very old in the quality of service it offers MT. Dobbins said. From it's first year when MT. Henry N. Dozier wes president, doing valiant service for the club, until the present time when Mir. Davis is making splendid record as president, full of enthus- iasm and genuine interest in making the Birmingham Automobile club magnificent success and valuable asset to Birmingham, the club has been a firm believer in the doctrine of Service to Motorists Every man who values his own car; who has paid out his hard earned money for good automobile, and who wants to preserve it and keep it in good con- Ndition, can invest in no better assur- ance that he can do this, than by en- thusiastically cooperating with the Birmingham Automobile club"

An Ching, elderly grave and full of responsibility. was very partial. to his accustomed way of arranging furniture and of wash ing windows and floors. If left to himself, he would dust odd hooks and corners faithfully. but If I made any formal inspection of his labors, he would invariably slight them--to in- timate that I should not be suspi- cious, as friend explained-a form of logic that I found highly anus ing. Ah Ling, aside from his culi- nary ability, was chiefly interesting because his eyes were really obfiQue as Chinese eyes are supposed to be-, and usually are not, and because his hair really curled-as Chinese hair is supposed. never to do. and does, occasionally.

 Strange as it may seem, many of the greatest advances in civilization have only followed and been made possible through war and unnecessary loss of ~life.
 Rome built her "Appian Way" ir order that her soldiers-her vast army might. with more speed and less difficulty reach the sea-coast and the "Appian Way" Is still in use today.
 Napolean built military roads over the Alps which yet obtain, and were used during the late world conflict.
 War. with its trials and tribula- tions perhaps more than any other one factor in the worlds history has promoted the automobile industry for when General Pershing made his spochal visit to France accompanied by his 100000 "go- get-'cm" dough- boya. and the American made auto mobile did its yoeman work in vari- ous branches of Uncle Sam's service every nation on the face of the earth "sat up and took notice" and again the automobile industry made a !, tremendous step forward.
 But as wonderful as was the auto 3 mobile work lover There" during those years of struggle and despite the many angles of future develop ment which were opened by the auto mobiles accomplishment in the battle xones the biggest thing that has hap pened to America in this regard was done right here at home when the nation began to figure on "goo.i roads and began to organize Auto mobile Clubs" for the protection of the owners of automoblles-those who spent their hard-earned cash for horseless carriages and discarded the old fashioned Teams and wagons for motor trucks and other vehicles of the automobile family.
 I think I can safely set my finger upon the fact that during the late war. more people began to realize the benefits of motorized transpor- tation from both the business and the recreational side than ever before, and automobilf enthusiastis-thoss who love the glodious out-of doors ''Motoring for Motoring's" sake-be- gan to realize that with good roads sxtsnding from Maine to Mexico, from New York to Florida-that the auto nebt1e as . means of transportation
