PAIGE ANNOUNCES
 REDUCED PRICES

The Paige Detroit Motor Car com pany announces a sharp reduction in price for every model in it's line of passenger cars, tha new prices to take effect January ?.
 The current Paige Iiue IS deslgnated as the new series 6-G6 and new series 6-44 open and enclosed models be- ing built on posh chassis. The new series 6-66 seven-passenger touring car has been cut from s2,S75 to $2,195, a drop of $680, and the new series 6-66 seven passenger sedan from $S,SS0 to $3,155. The new series 6-44 fiye-passenger touring car which has been selling at $1,635, is now priced at $f,465, and the new series 6-55 five passenger sedan is cut from S2.570 to $2,245. There are propor- tionate reductions on all other models of the 1922 line.
 This is, of course, not our first cut in prices" says Lawrence Pen nington. president of the Detroit Mo- tor Car company. During the re- cent period of readjustment and liduidation we made several changes in price, dropping the figures as soon as conditions permitted. We have en- deavored to meet the fast changing conditions as quickly as possible and to give the purchaser every advantage of new production costs at the earliest possible moment. Because of the pub lie acceptance of the new Paige models, with our great financial strength and complete facilities, we have been able to plan a large pro duction for 1922. This enables us to offer these low prices while improv- Ing the product. What these changes In price mean to the buyer of today is well illustrated in the nrfce historv of the new series 6-44 five passenger touring car. This model. when it was introduced. sold for $1,965. We have fcut this price on three different ocea- sions, reaching finally the low figure of $1,465 just announced. That is difference of $500, but it by no means tells the complete story. The new series 6-44 five-passenger touring car for 1922 Is by no means the same car that sold originally for $1965. It IS vastly improved car, with a much

Final arrangements for the local amateur and professional races to be held Monday afternoon at o'clock at the State Fair grounds have been made. Much interest Is being shown over the city in the coming events, when practically all of the best anna teurs in Birmingham will compete in the contest.
 Entries are still coming in and several others who have not yet been named have entered their names for a chance at the prizes to be award ed to the winners
 The old kick that has been neoes- sary to put over a real local amateur race seems to be prevalent and gas buggies of many kinds will be on hand tomorrow. Some of Birming- hams speediest racers will furnish enough thrills and speed for those who enjoy auto races, and the B. A. K. A. promises all the different amusements in various contests that have heretofore been named.

Buick Again Announces
 LoWer Price Schedule

In the main news section of to- days AgeHerald there is an an nouncement that will be of interest to motor car owners and of particular interest to prospective Buick owners the Buick has again cut the price.
 Don Drennen, president of the Bir- mingham Motor company. local Buick distributors, says Buick is indeed starting off the New Year right and in a manner of which we highly ap- prove. As soon as I heard of the reduction I wired the factory to in- crease my allotment of Buick cars, for I we'll knew that when these new prices were announced the demand would be stimulated to such an ex
 tent that our present stock and quota

would be insufficient to meet the demand.
 "The automobile industry has been among the first to get back to pre-war price level and the Buick has been among the leaders ia this movement and has benefited greatly in increased sales and prestige there by. The car Buick is building today Is a better value than any car they have ever built. The improvements, refinements and increased service more than offset any difference in price.
 Sudden service and cord tire equipment is included at the new prices. without cost said MT. Dren- nen.

solidity of surface, banking or turns tracks and what is minimum size for auto races ?-X. Answer: There ara many things which go to make a fast track. Some tracks because of good engineering construction are natural ly fast, but if they were not well taken care of they would be slower than other tracks which have not the engineering advantages but have bet ter care. Sometimes a rain or con- stant rains preceding the use of the track works to an advantage rather than a detriment, especially if the condition of the soil Is such that it can be smoothed down by the con stant running of touring car. over same. This is called ironing" a track. The perfect circular track lends itself best to records. There is such a mile track at MarVellton, St. Louis and when the said course is In good shape it is almost sure a rec ord will be set up. This course holds about 10 worlds records. While there are one-fourth and one-third mile tracks, they are not practical for auto use, while the half mile track Is very popular. There is a one-third- mile track at Puyallup, Wash, a eighths mile track at Dallas.

Karachi, India. December 23.-The Ali brothers trial has just ended here after holding the attention of all India for several weeks. By the jury's verdict. the defendants were acquitted of the charge of conspiracy to sedGce British troops, but on the charge of making statements intend ed to cause his majesty's troops to fail in their duty all except one were found guilty and sentenced to two yeSrs' imprisonment.
 The summing up by the judge to the jury took about one hour and 10 minutes. The court emphasized the majesty of the law and declared that the jury must not give a verdict of acquittal through fear of assassina- tion because of threats by Shaukat Ali, one of the defendants.
 The chief argument for the defense was the plea that the accused had acted in accordance with religious precepts, over which civil law had no authority. In reply to a ques- tion by the judge as to whether or not man who committed murder on the ground of his religion ought to be excused from punishment.

The Pace That Kills

In the life of an auto, just as in human life, there is the pace that kills. The motor or component parts of an automobile should not more be abused than an animal should. So- cieties for the prevention of cruelty to motor cars are impracticable, but each auto driver can be a sort of a silent partner in a broad national movement to take care of his auto.
