DRAFT OF ALLIED PROPOSALSSENT
 RUSSDELEGATES
French Sign Memorandum With Reservations, While Signature of BeIglans
 Is Withheld
By Associated Press

Genoa, May 2.-The draft of the allied proposals to Russia for the re- construction of that country was sent to the Russian delegation to- night with an amendment offered by the French to the clause relating to restitution or compensation for private property nationalized by Rus sia and with a French reservation declaring that the French delegation withholds its final approval until further instructions are received from Paris.
 The Be gians did not attend the meeting of the subcommission on Russian affairs this afternoon, and the French delegates came late. The memorandum was dispatched without the signature of the Belgians.
 It was rumored that the Fren. Il did not understand that the meeting was fixed for o'clock, but when they arrived at 430 o'clock it was clear they had remained away for further consideration as to whether they would stand by the Belgians. M. Ba-.ere astounded the subcom- mittel by announcing that the French delegation could not approve the memorandum without further dis cussions at Paris. Premier Lloyd George expressed great amazement at this, saying that Nj. Barthou had told him this morning that the mat ter had been settled. NJ Barerre ex- plained that his action was based on messages received from Paris after NJ. Barthou left to confer with Pre- mier Poincare and the French cab inet.
 Await Word From Paris
 Finally. at MT. Lloyd Georges re- quest. M. Barrere consented to pro- pose an amendment to the national fzed property clause and allow the amended draft to be sent to the Rus sian delegation with the French res- ervation setting forth that the French were unable to give formal approval until further word had been received from Paris. after M Barthou had seen Premier Poincaire.
 This leaves the entire draft Tn what is described as very unsatis- factory condition and affords abun- dant opportunity for the Russians to offer objections.
 The French amendment makes the article more drastic and provides that Russia shall give distinct assur- ances regarding the nature of the tenure which foreigners arc to enjoy when their property is returned to them. Nationalized property has been the basis of practically all the diff ferences in the subcommisssion.
 Belgium has stubbornly held out for more definite restoration, and France has taken virtually the same position throughout the negotiations. England, on the other hand, has led the other powers In supporting a policy more nearly in line with bo1- shevik offer to restore merely the use of nationalized property. instead of free hold.

AUGUST BIGGEST
 MONTH FOR PAIGE.

In closing it's August business, the Paige-Detroit Motor Car company reports the biggest months produc- ton in it's history. Shipments of cars total 4.0l5 Paige and Jewetts. This figure exceeds by several hun dred anyfprevious months shipments by this company, and by more than 2,000 the high mark for any month in previous years.
 In making known Paige and Jew cit production figures for August, F. L. Jewett, first vice president. says While our business with the Paige G-S6 line shows a strong and healthy market for the bigger fine cars. the sale of Jewetts, particularly the en- closed models. has far exceeded our most optimistic hopes when we in- troduced the car to the buying public in April of this year.
 This increase of sales may partly be accounted for by loosening of purse strings among those who. last year, forced themselves to be con- tented with a superannuated me { l. but more probably to the new h.gh standard of values set by manufac- turers in 1928, as exemplifled by Jewett quality and price.
 ssWe feel that the 1923 demand for cars is on quite a different basis from the fevered markets of early postwar years. Our September or ders for ears today exceed our Au- gust shipments and are well dis tributed hailinN from all parts of the country.

WOCO THREE C'
 SALES ARE HEAVY
New Wofford Oil Company Crank Case Cleanser
 Making Hit

Although Woco Three C. crank case cleanser, the new preparation recently introduced to Birmingham motorists, has only been placed on sale al the Woco service stations for the past three weeks, 1t is reported by filling station operators that no fabrication necessity has met with such instantaneous response from motordom as this scientific product. Repeat sales have pushed the volume of Woco Three C" to point un- dreamed of when the new product was introduced
 The function of woco Three e. as explained in the free booklet, "A Few Suggestions on the Care of Your Motor" recently Issued by the Wolf ford oil company. Is to thoroughly and efficiently wash out the crau k case without impairing the lubrieat ing quality of the fresh oil that Is poured in. From one to two quarts of the new preparation Is declared to be sufficient to cleanse crank case. whereas as much as a galloi of other agents was formerly used

 The amazing feature of the August business just delivered Is that 1t by no means represents the capacity of the market. Overland and Willys- Knight dealers are still oversold and clamoring for deliveries.
 That the public demand now felt Is the keen and active interest of new car buyers coming into the market daily is made evident by the increas- ing requirements of dealers for closed cars for winter use. Friday a boat load of POO Overland and Willys- Knight cars was shipped to Buffalo

NEW PEERLESS CARS CAUSE ENTHUSIASM

Congratulations on the New Peer less have been pouring into the of flee of R. II. Collins. president and general manager of the Peerless Motor Car company. in an endless stream ever since the car was in- troduced to the public, more than two weeks ago.
 By telegram. letter and long dis .tance telephone, praise of this latest product of MT. Collins and his asso- ciates is being sent to Peerless headquarters in Cleveland from all sections of the country.
 which is most gratifying to Peerless officials Is the fact that manufac- turers of other makes of cars, as well as their distributors and deal CTS, seem to be wing with the mem bers of the Peerless distributing or ganization and the buying public in their enthusiastic commendation of the beauty, power and all-round per formance of the Collins-built Peer less.
 "I have just had ride in the new Peerless four-passenger touring phaeton," wired one well known au- tomobile builder, "and I want to congratulate you and your engineers on this wonderful product. Your organization. with its record of re- markable successes in the past has excelled itself in the creation of this new line of cars"

WAS BIGGEST MONTH
 FOR OVERLAND

The biggest August in the history of Willys- Overland. Inc, was record ed when the last car cleared the ship ping department out at the big Over land industrial center last Thursday night.
 Fourteen thousand and seven Over land and Wllys-K Knight ears were shipped. The biggest August busi- ness recorded previously was in 1917. when HTS cars were shipped. Au- gust, 1922. deliveries were greater
 That motorists have been seeking a preparation to replace other agents Is evidenced by the instant popu- larity with which the introduction of Woco "Three c" met. It is common knowledge among mechanics that agents formerly used had tendency to remain in the crank cass and dl- lute the fresh oil that was poured in. It is claimed for Woco Three c" that, while 1t is not lubricating oil and should not be used as such. nevertheless It increases the ef- ficiency of the fresh oil rather than diminishing it.

 Just recently Charles e. Davis. president of the club. made, a trip covering about 1000 miles to Camp Walton, over to Gulfport and back to Birmingham. It may be of Interest to those contemplating such a trip to learn of the road conditions as en- countered, and the routes. In going to Camp Walton the most logical route is from Birmingham to Mont gomery. following the Bee Line high way to Ada, where 1t is left, taking the road to Luverne (eight miles of which is quite rough). thence to An dalusia and Lockhart, where a right
 hand turn will be met, taking one through Laurel Hill to Crestview, from which point there is a very fair road to Camp Walton, the distance between the two latter points being about 32 miles. Leaving Camp Wal ton it Is necessary to return to Crest view. There Is a very good road en- countered all way to Pensacola, to I reach which point 1t is necessary to ferry across Escambia bay, the ferry being capable of carrying 10 or 12 cars per trip. Six miles out of Milton
 on this stretch there is new brick
 road, which is a delight to the motor ist and allows him to forget some of
 the bad roads encountered. The run from Pensacola to Fairhope is very easy, where another ferry Is neces- sary to reach Mobile, the ferry leav- 1 ing at 7:30 a. m, 12.50 p. m. and 4:30 | p. m., for which a charge of $4 is
 made on touring cars. The trip across
 the bay consumes about an hour and
 half. Bad stretches are encoun-
 tered between Mobile and Pascagoula
 but of little consequence. At Pasca- gould another short distance ferry
 must be negotiated, from which point 1 there is nice run into Biloxi. From Ocean Springs to Biloxi the trip is unusually picturesque on account of l the built up roads running through
 the marshes and the innumerable
 bridges crossing as many bayous,
 which are all backed up for miles through the marshes.
 Fishing at Biloxi was unusually good, everybody catching their hearts desire.
 | Returning, he left Biloxi at I
 o'clock, finding a good road to Hat
 tiesburg, where the night was spent. Leaving Hattiesburg. few miles out there is a turn to the right to 1 Waynesboro going through Shubuta and Quitman to Meridian, thus avoid- ing construction work between Laurel and Meridian. The next night was spent in Livingston, which is about eight hours run via Gaines
 vile. Eutaw, and Tuscaloosa to Bir- 1 mingham. Leaving Livingston the l McCainesville road should be fol- lowed to detour construction work
 between Livingston and Gainesville,
 from which point a fairly good road
 will be encountered to Tuscaloosa. From Tuscaloosa to Birmingham Is 1 one of our brag roads.
