Alabanoa Sholus Gainof26.7% Ln Automobiles During 1920
Motor Vehicles Now Number 74637 Giving State Place of Thirty-second in Entire Country-New York and Ohio Still Staging Merry Contest, With
 Pennsylvania Running Third

| One hundred thousand automobiles in
 Alabama this year.
 ! Easing calculations on the percentage of gain in 1919 and 1920, when car regis 1 trations jumped 24.S per cent and 26. per cent, respectively, this figure seems | a conservative estimate of automobile population growth in the state during 1921. | Registration figures just released f l 1920 show that Alabama now has "A, ,637
 motor vehicles as against 5S,S9S in 1913. This figure ranks the state thirty-second
 in the United States in number of cars. l Motor vehicle registra tions for the past | year, obtained from the various states 1 by the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, ] show there are now 9,274920 passenger cars and trucks in use throughout the United States, one for every 11.S persons. This is an increase of 1,670,904, or 2l.g per cent, over December 31. 1919 when there were 7,S04,0l6 motor vehicles regis tered
 The gain during the past year was greater than that of any previous year, and is considered exceptionally remark able by officials of the automotive indus try in view of the adverse business con- ditions throughout the country during the last part of 1920. The largest previous gain was 1,457, ,s99 in 1919.
 B8 TENNESSEEsI IS LAST
 Every state in the union showed a gain during the year. Virginia leading with 5l | per cent, and Tennessee last with 1.4 per cent. The majority of states showed increases ranging from IS to 24 per cent. In a general way, the figures show az ricultural states made better gains than industrial states.
 The race between New York and Ohio for supremacy in the number of motor vehicles has again turned in New York's favor. The midyear registrations last summer showed Ohio leading by S10o0 cars, and it was thought it would main tain it's lead for the entire year. Thousands of New York owners reg istered later however, and the final figures showed New York with $6S2,174 and Ohio with S1S,000
 Pennsylvania strengthened it's hold on third place, advancing from 4S2,1l7 to 5S4. .1S4, while Illinois, it's closest rival, in- creased from 47S. .4S3 to 56S,745 Although California did not show as great a nu- mercal gain this year as the other lead- CTS. it still has fifth place firmly se- cured with 550,69O.
 IOWA WINS OUT
 Iowa again managed to win out in it's tricornered race for sixth place with Texas and Michigan. Last year both tie. the final figures giving Iowa 437, ,265, Texas 431,93S and Michigan 412,690. Whlcs state will be ahead next year is ques- ton. ts&

 People may argue that an automo- bile is not bought because it can aver age better than 60 miles per hour on the speedway for over 50 hours. It is true no owner really expects his car to do that for him He may not even care to know that an Essex crossed America, San Francisco to New York, 3,347 miles, in four days, 13 hours, 4S minutes, or that the type of car he owns holds every local worth while record for hill climbs, interstate runs, etc.
 All such accomplishments are made for one purpose only, and that is to give the public or the prospective owner con- fidence in his car. Regardless of whether man ever wants to exceed 20 miles per hour or not. he stif takes pride in the fact that his automobile can do these things, that the same chassis and same power plant beneath the hood of the

ALICE LAKE AGAIN
ON SILVER SCREEN

llice Lake, beloved little star of the
screen world, will be seen by local
motion picture goers in THE Greater
Claim" the Metro special, Thursday
al the opera house as the feature at
traction.
The appearance of Miss Lake is al
ways an event Of importance, for she
lends to whatever roles she essays,
buoyancy Of youth, wonderful charm,
and a great gift of acting.
In "The Greater Claim adapted
from the Izola Forrester-Mann Page
story, she has the part of Mary Smith,
the Follies beauty, who marries a
wealthy youth, only to find that his
father soon kidnaps him so as to sep
arate them. She furiously annuls the
marriage and proceeds to disgrace the
family name. Shady schemers use
her and her child to get hush money.
The climax comes with big vital Sit
uation, where mother love surges and
where man is called upon to make
a clever move to discover who is real
lv the mother and who the adven-
turess.
"The Greater Claim" was adapted
for the screen by Albert Shelby LIE
Vino and directed by Wesley Ruggles,
under personal supervision of Bayard
Veiller, Director Of Productions. Sid
ney Ullman designed and executed
the art interiors.
The supporting cast includes Jack
Dougherty, Edward Cecil, Dewitt
Jennings, Florence Gilbert and LIE,
more Lynard.

HOUSEHOLD INSECTS
AND PESTS.

Household pests are troublesome,
dangerous, and destructive, therefore,
they call for constant vigilance. They
crawl or fly, hide in dark unexpected
hooks, and often come from filthy
places. They produce SO rapidly
that they are much easier to keep out
than to exterminate after they have
gained a foothold. Eternal vigilance
is the price of preventing pests.
Prevention means to fill up. cracks
and holes, allow no dust to collect or
spilled food to renaain. keep food
tightly covered, use screens or traps,
fill UP stagnant pools, cover rain bar
rels. keep house leaders free from
stagnant water, screen or fumigate
mancre- piles, and use insecticide in
gar bage containers. privies, and ma
nure piles. The cleansst house, how
ever, may gain the unexpected visitor
in the grocery basket, laundry bundle,
or even in the valise when travelling.

WHERE ALL THE PEARL
BUTTONS COME FROM

One frequently must follow long
trail to strange places to find the ori-
gin of the most common conveniences
OF our home, wardrobe. or dinner
table. For example. pearl buttons
are dependent upon preservation of
certain Mississippi river fish.
This economic curiosity is cN-
planned in a communication to the
National Geographic Society by Hugh
NJ. Smith, as follows:
''The perpetuation of the fish sup
ply in the Mississippi and it's tribu-
raries involves a very important in
dustry besides fishing. Investigations
conducted for the bureau of fisheries
wears ago showed an intimate rela-
ton between certain kinds of fishes
and The nussels, which yield valuable

are at the critical period provided
with the special fishes needed for the
attachment Of the young.
The fishes obtained in the rescue
operations are turned into the ponds

are then liberated in the open water
and distribute throughout a wide
stretch of river. Thus two import

DETERMINATION becomes q cure Of
a mere heroic nature and involves
much work. and often the use of
some powerful agent. Methods Of
determination include closing runa-
ways and cracks: use Of powders
fumes poisons and traps.
Closing runaways is accomplished
by using putty plaster Of Paris, wood
en- strips, etc. Putty is the best agent
to use with wood. 1t may be bought
at the paint shop and colored to
match the wood. If the carackS are
not too large, putty will make a good
filling, but very wide cracks had bet

putty on each side of the strip. Mold

Plaster of Paris is also used to fill
cracks: it is bought as Il powder, and
is mixed with water when and as 1t
is needed. 1t hardens almost imme-
diately. 1t can be mixed in an old
cuD or tin cover. or even in a card
board box just as it is to be used and
in such Small quantities as can be
handled quickly. 1t is very white
and may be ceIored to match the rest
of the wall or floor. any cOloring de-
sired may be put in the water before
mixing it with the plaster of Paris
The second. step in determination,
which calls for the use of non-pois-
onous and non-inffamable methods,
is by spreading powder such as borax,
alum. soap powder. or even pepper.
Next to these in strength are pyreth-
rum, Persian insect powder, and bu-
ZACH. a California product. The next
in strength and the last Of the pow
ders to use are strychnine and arse
mic. These should be used with
greatest care and only as last re-
sort, as they are dangerous poisons.
Powder can be sprinkled in cracks
and about shelves or drawers; on
shelves, try to Keep it on the back
