Another recent request was from sales agent in Havana. Cuba, asking for terms on a contract for the West h. des. Numerous requests have been received from southern states in which the Wofford oil company is not operating and many middle west ern gasoline dealers have written for terms under which they could handle Woco Pep. One recent request, it is stated, came from as far west as Texas.
 At the present tine, the Wofford Oil company is operating in four southern states, with distributing plants in q cities and towns.

Informal Session Held By Members Of Newly Organ.
 ized State Commission

Members of the Alabama docks commission held their first meeting, an informal conference, at the Tut wiler hotel Saturday, according to George Gordon Crawford, chairman. MT. Crawford said no formal busi- ness was transacted and that the meeting was merely a get-together session. ExGov. Charles Henderson of Troy and F. G. Blair of Tusca- loosa, associate members of the com mission, were present. Several more informal meetings will be held before any formal business is attempted, according to Mir Crawford.
 MT Crawford pointed out that the subject was very broad in it's phase and would require a great deal of thought before any steps could be taken toward construction work or any definite arrangements for ex- pansion of the docks system at Mohile

YALE GLEE CLUB
 ID GIVE CONCERT
Noted Musicians To Appear In Birmingham On De-
 Cember 29

Music lovers are interested in the appearance of the Yale University Glee and Banjo club at the Phillips High school auditorium Saturday evening, December 29.
 The club was organized by the class of 1861 when group of men made a short tour of the White mountains wearing their travelling clothes and appearing at various ho- tels and theatres. Since that year the club has had an unbroken career, and for 4S years has taken the an- nual Christmas trip, touching at one time or another almost every impor- tant city in the United States.
 The club this year is made up of 250 undergraduates picked from large squad of competitors. From these candidates about 100 are chosen and divided into University A, University and Freshmen choruses. These groups are all under the con- trol of the same management but give concerts independent of each other.
 Marshall Bartholomew. also graduate of Yale. has for the last two years acted as director, and has had general charge Gf undergraduate music.
 In the early years of the club the singing consisted mostly of popular music and occasional college tunes. The Glee club Is stated to have created the tradition of undergrad uate singing, for which Yale has been specially known. They are said to have introduced such songs as Sweet and Low" Yale Boating Song" "Serenade," Not Quite" "A Little Knot of Blue" When All the World Is Young" Annie Laurie" and others to the college world. Dur ing the last few years the aim has been to break away somewhat from the light music and to render songs of greater musical and artistic value.
 The Banjo club is more or less an outgrowth of the Glee club and has been in existence for 40 years. For the last three years John N. (Sleepy) Hall, 24, known as one of the best banjo players in the country. has been in charge of the club. MT. Hall plays a banjo number, which, it is stated, always proves one of the fea- lures of the program, drawing re- peated encores.
 The Yale Musical clubs travel in three private cars, leaving New Haven December 20 and remaining on tour until January 5, giving a total of 13 concerts. The cities which will be visited this year are New York, Baltimore, Richmond Norfolk, Savannah, Jacksonville, Birmin gham, Atlanta, New Orleans, Memphis, Louisville, Dayton and Pittsburg. The present club has the reputation of being the best singing chorus in the history of the university and Its con- cert is expected to rank with the best musical performances of the season.

BOYS OF STREETS PLEAD EOR CHANCE
Parade Appeal Touches Many For Contributions To
 Building Campaign

"All We Ask Is Chance" was the motto on the banners borne by the little shavers of the Boys club, as they marched through the business district Saturday morning, proudly keeping step to the music of the Ala bama Boys Industrial school band. No glittering pageantry in that parade, but the eloquent exhibit of the boys themselves; big boys and little boys, but most of them little boys, who work for living, who will have no education save what they can dig out for themselves. but some of whom, if they get that chance they l ask for, may rise, as tha governor of the state of New York did, from the job of humble newsy to place of high position and power. "Who says the boys need help?" grumbled a bluff old travelling sales man, who watched the parade as it passed the Tutwiler, and dug down in his pockets to see what loose money he had on him. If they want a home, little devils, it's more than most of them have-a shome, huh? Where's the man who wants my money?"
 There were others who brought in their contributions to campaign head quarters, 1910 Fourth avenue, in the same state of mind. when the. parade had passed
 The canvassing teams of the Xii wanis club which are asking Birmng- ham business men for $75, ,000 for this cause worked half a day Saturday, and brought the total of donations up | to $20,000. The Kiwanis club has given $25,00o and $75,000 more is needed to create an adequate build ing fund for the boys proposed new home.
 'It's not merely proposed, it's going to be fact" said W. J. Adams. general chairman of the Kiwanis club campaign. What's S75,000, compared to the manhood of posterity The future of one of those boys is worth s75,000, in dollars and cents. You bet we are going to get it!'
 Sidney J. Bowie and Major E. NJ Tutwiler sent in $500 each Saturday morning, and other contributions, from s5 to $100' in size, poured into headquarters.
 Many Small Donations.
 The great number of small dona- tions received is gratifying, in one sense, to the campaigners, for it shows that not merely the wealthy, who can afford it, but the rank and file of the citizens of Birmingham, appreciate the worthiness of the cause, and want to do their bit. Re- gently a man in prison, hearing that the Boys club needed help, sent in little sum of money, with the com ment If there were more Boys clubs. there would be fewer men like me-
 The building material men of Bir- mingham not only are subscribing l liberally to the club fund, but are l pledging donations of building mate rial and hauling service to help in the construction of the new build ing. The committee handling dona- has not yet reported, but it is pre- dicted that when they do. some other committees and some other groups of Birmingham business men are going to feel bangs of Jealousy over the showing made.

WOCO PIP SOUGHT T[[OYD GEORGE IN IN FORE|GN LANDS MIDST IF FIGHT
Jumns Into English Political
 Scramble With Both Feet

LONDON, Nov. 10.-With his old- time vigor restored by his American trip, David Lloyd George sent thrill through both wings of the liberal party today when he started rapid fire election conferences with his lieutenants.
 His political opponents in the con- servative party appeared not to have recovered their senses from the broadside he delivered at Southamp- ton yesterday as the ship on which 7 he returned was docking.
 Since the coalition continued in power by the 1918 election fell to pieces in 1922, the Welsh wizard and the whole of both wings of the liberal party had been laundering
 Lloyd George was said by most of his enemies. and admitted by many of his friends, to have lost his politi- cal grip.
 But today his stand for free trade as opposed to the new protectionist policy of Premier Baldwin won promises of heartiest cooperation from both wings of the liberal party.
 o O O
 Newspapers Back Him.
 The Westminster Gazette and the Daily News, which for years had op- posed him owing to their support of his rival liberal leader, Ex-Prime Minister Herbert Fl. Asquith, today appealed for liberals to bury the hatchet and join hands for the fight.
 The tories were seriously appre- hensive over their prospects in the fight, fearing they had chosen an unpopular issue, there was talk they might try to persuade Premier Bald win to postpone the general election l rumored for next month.

A survey by the Birmingham Motor Trade association of the used car situation in Birmingham the past week show that although the dealers are not over stocked they report that they have ample STOCK to select from and a customer can find 8 car that will suit both his fancy and his purse.
 The country's sCdnd prosperity in- dicates that the public is still in po- sition to buy cars, according to 6. P. Caldwell, secretary of the associa- tion. The preference for the owner- ship of an automobile eclipses every other desire in many homes. There are many contributing factors to this desire. Better highways make the automobile calendar F months in length. Realization of the comfort anywhere and at anytime instead of waiting in the cold for crowded troll ley. is another pleasure.
 Dealers are buying cars at quickly salable figures and in a great num- Der of instances from an owner whose requirements compel him to purchase another model.
 SOME VALUES.
 The following were selected by the used car dsAlers of Birmingham as the best values on their respective floors:
