An AUTOMOBILE.
OF MANY PARTS
A Weird CongIomeration of
Many Makes and Yet
1t Runs

A curious crowd that gathered in
front of the Hood & Wheeler furnl-
ture store on Saturday examined one
of the strangest automobiles that
ever turned a wheel. 1t was a regu-
lar pot pourri' OF an automobile. Its
chassis was Cole, its body and trans
mission was Buick, its hind end was
Cole axle, it's motor consisted of
two Maxwell four-eylinder engines
hitched tandem-and yet 1t ran. Its
ignition was a Bosch magnetic and its
cooling system home made affair
of a nameless radiator and some two
inch water pipe, and yet it ran. The
wheels didn't match, the tires were
all of different size, the back seat
was upholstered in plush and the
front in leather-still it ran.
This hybrid was Birmingham
prcduct. 1t was made by negro miner
Abner Maddox, of Dolomlte, who, by
the way, was in the recent explosion.
Abner has been employed by the
Woodward Iron company for a num-
Der of years, and says that he assem-
bled the motor car during his odd
moments 1t has taken him more
than six months to accumulate the
different units from the various
scrap heaps and junk yards-still 1t
runs.

ENGLAND To HAVE
IDEAL CHRISTMAS;
THREE HOLIDAYS
YuIetlde Has Been Prosper
GUS, All Merchants of Lon
don Representatives,
to Be Crowded

LONDON, Dec. 2s.-England's
Christmas will be ideal this year. for
1t falls on Monday, thus giving
nearly every one three successive
holidays.
The day after Christmas--boxing
days observed as a holiday as
strictly as Christmas itself. The day
gets it's name from the custom
whereby landowners were expected
to hand out boxes of Christmas gifts
to their tenants, retainers and serv-
ants. Postmen and milkmen. as well
as newspaper carriers, canvassed
their routes religiousiy for annual
tips. while even the patrolmen on the
beat seldom refused a lsrgesse The
postmen now have a union which
this year Opposes tips.
For many of the city workers 1t
factories, shops and offices, there
will really be four days of rest, be-
cause q large proportion of these es-
adjustments closed before lunch to-
day and will not reopen until We'd
nesday afternoon. No newspapers ap-
pear Monday and Tuesday.
YuIetide Prosperous
Tradesmen report that the Yuletide
has been the most prosperous since
long before the war. They give the
iilHeIN llSE III anu lit htI-
eral feeling that England Is on the
verge of better times, as the reasons
for the large volume of trade.
The Christmas spirit has also been
reflected in the large number of Lon
deners who have left for the couu-
try and the continent, and the rail-
way companies have carried more
passengers than In several years. AL
most as astonishing has been the in
flux of country folk who always take
the Christmas season as the occa-
sion for seeing the tights of the city.
These visitors. dressed in their best,
pay their respects to all the hotels,
restaurants and theatres.
The theatres are blocked to capa-
city. Particularly popular are such
perennials as Peter Pan" THE Pri-
waite Secretary" and "Charleys
Aunt"
Contrasting with the holiday
gayety, Is the great number of un-
employed, the greatest, in fact. that
the city has seen in many years

BRITISH NEGLECT
OPPORTUNITIES OF.
BRAZILIAN TRADE.
English Manufacturer Speaks
GIoWingly of Possibilities
of Developing Commerce
With South America

LONDON, Dec. 16.-Brazil has been
overlooked by the British manufac-
turer. according to Sir John E.
Thornycroft, and the American tar
if is aiding American exporters in
that South American republic.
Sir John has just returned from a
trip to Brazil, and speaks glowingly
OF the latent possibilities of the
country. Brazil is virtually as
large as Europe, and yet there are
only about Is or 10 millions of in
habitants. There Is an enormous
wealth in natural resources, and
there are vast areas in southern Bra
iii suitable for stock raising, where
the climatic conditions are good for
Europeans, and which Germans were
exploiting before the war. Then
again, the extent of Brazifs mineral
wealth is often entirely overlooked
at home. 1t has probably the rich
est iron deposits in the world be-
sides diamonds and other precious
stones. which are by no means
worked out"
Sir John expressed the opinion thst
1.-THE manufacturing and engineering
Industries of Great Britain are
doomed unless we can get some sort
of protection for our home markets.
and especially get the exchange put
right besides removing some of the
disabilities we are under as regards
preferential tariffs. Owing to the
American tariff policy the United
States succeeded in getting no few
r1a M
featured goods put on a preferential
tariff basis for Importation into Bra
zil, and this hits the British manu-
facturer."
Great Britain lost ground, Sir
John thought, by not sending naval
commission to Brazil at the end OF
the war. Americans, on the other
hand, took the opportunity to push
forward and are now firmly estab-
lished as Brazil's naval advisers, with
a large staff of American officers.
