SAUNDERS SYSTEM
 NEW LOWER RATES ATTRACT BUSINESS
Standard Rates Now In Effect In All Branches Of The
 Concern

That the new low rates effective . in the branches of Saunders Drive It Yourself System, are appreciated in
 Birmingham Is shown by the fact
 that the local branch has found 1t
 necessary to purchase dozen new Ford cars for this service. These
 new rates are standard in all the cities served by the Saunders system.
 We believe in passing to the
 customer the benefits of our National
 Ford rental system said John w. Black, manager of the local branch, , and we are able to make these ratss by reason of this standardiza-
 tfor. You will now find the same low rates in every city in the United States served by our system." z
 These new rates are divided into several classes so that rate is pro- svided for every need. There is the standard rate of twelve cents per mile for the touring cars and in ad- dition there are special rates, which sinclut,e fleet rate, commercial rate and long trip rates, whicl. afford discount from the standard rate un- Ader certain conditions.
 : The announcement of these new rates has stimulated business to a marked degree, according to Harris Saunders, who expects a still great ser increase after the rates have be- come generally known to the public.

GREAT LAKES, fll., April 2s.-(By Associated Press. .)-The navy de- .partment has decided to abandon virtually all of it's radio service on the Great Lakes with the exception of the radio-compass stations, and will shortly advertise eight wireless stations for sale. Lack of men and money to operate them led to the d. cision to abandon the plants.
 An inventory of-the material and supplies to be sold Is being prepared by the district communication super --intendent, Lieut. A. G. Berry. pre- paratory to advertising for bids.
 The stations to be abandoned are located at Alpena. Mich.. Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Duluth, Mackinac Island, Milwaukee and Manistique. Mich. Stations at Chicago. Great Lakes and Eagle Harbor will be re- tained, in addition to the radio com pass stations at Detour, Grand Marias and Whitefish Point, Mich.

They were out of work and assured beds and meals, and some warmth, looked mighty good. The governor stood on the jail steps, argued that the jail was crowded to overflowing and re- quested the petitioners to exercise some little patience.

|S UNITED STATES GROWING DUMbER As TIME PASSES?
Chicago Professor Declares Standard of Intelligence
 Is Lower

CHICAGO. April 2e-America, proud of her progress and growing enlightenment, Ia growing dumber and dumber.
 Striking an average of intelli igence among her population of 100,000,00 or in,ore, It appears that this aver age Is becoming lower. and that if something Is net done to boost the intelligent standard. we will become q race of what are referred to as "dumb bells."
 These conclusions are those of Prof. Forrest A. kingsbury, eminent psy- eholosIst of the University of Chi cago. and one of the best qualified authorities for such statements.
 Professor Kingsbury cited data gained from tests conducted on sol diory during the war, the greatest single experiment. of it's kind ever undertaken. He recalled that 1,750,- 900 men at that time were rated by psychological tests, and, making the claim that surprisingly low grade of brain among American men was shown, expressed the belief that an other war at this time would bring tests with results even more sur prlsing.
 The results represent an accurate sample of American adult male popu- lation." Professor Kingsbury de- clared. "Twelve per cent revealed A CT B Superior or very superior) in- telligence, 24 per cent c or D intel ltgence Every dull. border-line or feeble minded)."
 Furnishes Defective.
 The A and B people, the professor explained, predominate among army officers, college trained people, news papermen, professional men and others capable of public leadership, while the and h contingent furnishe s many detectives and dependents, and disproportionate percentage of cer- tain classes of social offenders.
 Multiplying more rapidly than those of higher levels. and transmit ting their defects, either through heredity or bad social environment, to their offspring, they constitute a large and increasing social problem" he continued "Of foreign-born men. those showing the largest percentage of D grade or ltwer-some 50 per cent or more-came from Poland. Russia and Italy, sources of our lare- est recent immigration. Colored troops stand equally low.
 'The highest grades come from England. Holland, Scotland, Germany, Denmark and Canada
 Hence, Kingsbury insisted. since demo cracy deals with ideas and prin- ciples, and general intelligence as measured by tests has to do with capacity for dealing with ideas. there is crying necessity for higher in telligence standards, both for politi- cal leaders and voters.
 Necessity is also shown he said, "nr effective measures which shall prevent any further lowering of the level of American intelligence, either from sources within or without"

different means of transportation will be so spaced, according to their comparative speed. that the finish of all the races will be in San Fran cisco on the same day.
 According to the schedule ar ranged, the first of the ponies and the riders will leave St. Joseph. Mo-, probably on August 20. In pioneer days the route covered by the riders ended in Sacramento, and from that city the mail was brought to San Francisco by Sacramento river boat. In the revival. however, q new relay will start at Sacramento and follow course leading through tho hls- toric country of the Mother Lode into Oakland. and by ferry to the
 lend of the trail."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-04-29

Running in car tracks will cause the tire to wear down on one side just where 1t comes in contact with the edge of tho track. This will al- so cause a flexing motion, which will result in tread separation. due to the fact that an extra hinging motion is developed in the tire,- this result Ing in the friction or cushion being beyond its elastic strength and breaking.

FAITH AS A LODESTAR


1t merely means to stand ahead
of him in the path making the
right road pleasant by q smiling
invitation to travel it, instead o,
getting behind him and trying %

Preaching goodness doesn't
make it half as attractive az li~
ing it pleasantly IL bound to 90.
or course it Is disheartening to
see q fine, promising youth going
about with wanton companions.
But If you make virtue and good
ness as attractive as recklessness
seems to be, what chance have
they against the power of an un-
Outstanding love?
Stop discussing the wild com.
panions with the young man you
want to wean from them. DOM
dignity them by .. word of warn
ing or advice. Ignore them and
their interests, and present you
own finer interests and ideals in
the most attractive light possible.
Sometimes young men are stub
born and contrary enough to
think that they have to prove
that they can touch pitch and
not be defiled. Sometimes a boy
wants to prove to the girl he
loves that he is wiser and
stronger than she.
Act as if you believed IN the
+ young man and didn't for one
moment believe that he could be
weak or foolish end see how he
will respond to faith instead Of
Haunting his weaknesses in. the
face OF doubt.
Stop fearing-and trust him to
go straight. Then he wilt Justify

Of living down to your fears.
