Il Mash goes in painstaking shop practice,
because it bears directly upon the quality
that has earned Mash cars their nation
esteem.
TO make certain that Nash cylinders arc
absolutely true, a stream Of cold water is
circulated through the water jackets as the
barrels are machincd. This prevents heat
being generated by the operation OF machin

and causes the variatons in size which distin-
guish inferior cylinders from Mash cylinders.

MYTHICAL AMERICA

From Adventure Magazine.
 The Spaniards were not the only race to visualize the New World as a wonderland of rich mines and beau tiful cities. Throughout the sixteenth and for the first half of the seven- teenth centuries adventurers of vs- rjous races were fully as credulous.
 AS early as 1700 the belief that the continent was peopled by the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel was asserted.
 Then there was Norumbega, as the Penobscot river in Maine was called. This name also included the mythical kingdom extending from the coast to the head of the Penobscot, with the fabulous city of Norumbega ,o- cated where Bangor now stands. Dwarfs and giants lived there in much splendor and Champlain went to investigate and found the Abnaki wigwams.
 All these various yarns fell in nice- ly with John Laws scheme, popular ly known as "the Mississippi com pany." In the literature and maps booming that enterprise Louisiana was represented as being embarrass- ingly crowded with rich mines.
 Mountains of gold and cities of wondrous loveliness, pearls and pre- cious stones-all these were ever Iust over the horizon. Not until after the French Indian war did the people fully realize that their gold must be won from prairies and the forest. and their cities be built by their own hands.

5.9l7 White Truck
 Fleet Owners Use
 51,811 Motor Trucks

An idea of the big growth of motor truck transportation the last decade Is gleaned from statistics recently compiled by the White company. This company, which Is one of the pioneers in the motor truck industry, has been manufacturing gasoline trucks for about 13 years. but 1t is only in the last six or seven years that produc- tion and use of the motor truck has reached large proportions.
 The first of the year 606 owners were operating 1s.527 White trucks in fleets of 10 or more. This same list of owners 12 years ago were oper- ating the insignificant number of 60 trucks. The great majority, of course, did not use motor trucks in 1910. 4 few operated one or two. There is just one outstanding exception and that Is W. and J. Sloane, the we'll known New York furniture and car pet merchants. This establishment in 1910 was operating 13 Whites. Today this pioneer fleet has grown to 31. The owner of the largest individual fleet on the White list Is the Cult Refining company with HIT trucks. representing an investment of more than s3.0o0, 900. The Gulf Refining company did not operate trucks in 191p. but purchased one the follow ing year. In 1914 the company had S1 trucks in service and since then has added from 100 to 200 trucks to their fleet each year.
 A few of the other large fleet own CTS are the Associated Bell Telephone companies with S06 the Standard Oil company of New York, 649 Union Oil company of California, 534; and the

NEW PEERLESS
 ID BE AN EIGHT

The new Peerless will be an "eight" that much has been admitted at the factory in Cleveland during the last week with reference to the new car which R. H. Collins and his associates will announce to the public the last of next week.
 All during the last several days, writing men, members of the trade and consumers innumerable have be- sieged the factory in vain efforts to beat the other fellow in obtaining the first authoritative description of the widely discussed new car.
 But, MT. Collins answer was al- ways the same-"we are going to tell the public all at once, next week to
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-08-20

be exact"-until one more aggressive interviewer than the rest said:
 "Is the rumor true that you have definitely abandoned the eight-cyl- finder principle in the new models" Then. the storm broke in typical Collins fashion.
 "Rumor-it's silly falsehood from start to finish. Where did you hear it7 Who started it?" he demanded in the same vigorous way in which he always denounces baseless rumor which, because he so frequently does the unexpected thing. has time and again been current about his policies.
 Certainly, we are going to con- tinue the eight-cylinder principle" he added. "Why shouldn't we con- tinue 1t? We haven't found anything which, for the purposes required, can surpass it. When we do find more efficient principle for the type of car we are building we shall certainly adopt 1t. But, the new Peerless Is an eight. You may be sure of that"

Emmet M. Steele. of Adamson Mo- tor company where "service Is a pleasure" has been apointed state membership chairman of the Retati Credit Mems National association for Alabama This work, to be perform ed successfully, should have the CO., operation of all the merchants of the state who do a credit business. We all appreciate the importance of re- liable credit information and it is very important that the state chair man receive the support from the merchants to carry out this syste- matically.
 Mir. Steele Is well known in auto mobile circles here, holding as he does a responsible position with the Adamson Motor company. He is also an experienced credit man, being first vice president of the Associated Retail Credit Men of Birmingham.
 This appointment came to MT. Steele partly In recognition of the splendid work on behalf of the loca. and national associations during the past year.
 The Associated Retail credit Men of Birmingham Is an affiliated branch of the national association and all members of the local are members of the national.
 The National association Is spread ing the gospel of good credit in all parts of the country. It is doing in national way what the local as- sociation Is doing in a local way. It was organized in 1912 by q small group of credit men of some of the bigger stores of the country and has grown to more than 10000 members within a period of 10 years. It was organized to bring together retail credit grantors of the United States; to assist In conducting advertising, pay-up and education campaigns, for the purpose of locating missing and abscondly debtors by system of ex change between cities; to encourage the enactment of laws for the protec- ton of credit grantors both natio D. and state; to compile statistics re- garding credit losses, bad debts, turnover, and of all matters of in- terest to everyone having anything to do with the extension of credit, to improve credit and collection de- partment methods through special committees of credit men in the va rious parts of the country, working out uniform systems and better methods; by state and regional meet ings, and state and national eonyen- tions of credit grantors.
 Never In the history of the coun- try has the necessity been so great for a more thorough cooperation In all matters pertaining to credits. The public recognizes as never before that they are interested not only in credit conditions In a national way but in an international way.
 An active campaign to interest every retail. merchant and profes- sional man In the state of Alabama, will be waged during the next 12 months, and MT. Steele expects to en- list the cooperation of many hun dreds of merchants in every sectoln of the state.

A Lazy Habit

When an automobile is permitted to labor while going up steep hill, the sudden blows of the explosion acting against the resistance of the slow-moving crank-shaft, tend to flatten out the bearings. shortening their life, wearing them out. and making the engine knock long be- fore it should under proper use. Do not crowd the engine to see If it can possibly make the top of the hill without shifting gears.
