Declaring that the word "service" has been overworked, and that too many motorists have come to regard it as high-sounding nonentity, Fred Fl. Galley, executive secretary of the National Motorists associa- tion, believes it is only fair to the car owner to tell him that service, at least in connection with his au- tomobile club, is just what he makes it.
 "The motorist is practical fell low" said MT. Caler, "and service has never impressed him as any thing to take seriously because it has never been defined so that you can understand it. Somewhere in the back of his head turks the vague idea that service has some thing to do with getting something for nothing. The N. M. A. therefore, feels called upon to show him that there is an important angle to the subject which he has overlooked.
 Every successful automobile club is built upon the idea that it's serv- ice is measured by what it actually gives to it's members, but the reason why most car owners fail to find real service is because they do not give anything in return.
 This does not have to be money. In fact, the dues paid into an auto mobile club are nominal in compari- son with the actual value of what members get in return, and the amount of service which a club can give is not necessarily proportioned to the amount of the individual dues. The thing that counts is the help the motorist gives to his club, the spirit,

JORDAN CAR FREE r RUM BODY NOISE
Body So Made That RattIeS And SqueakS Are Seldom
 Found

The Jordan car is singularly free of the thousand and one body and chassis noises which usually begin to develop in a car after the first several hundred miles of driving.
 The construction of the Jordan body and the manner in which it is installed upon the frame of the car, tend to eliminate the objectionable rattles and squeaks which are so an moving to car owner and which are often, very difficult to locate and silence. Edward s. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car company, has constantly worked to improve this desirable feature of his car.
 One of the first steps the Jordan factory made in their efforts to pro- duce a car which would stay quiet throughout it's normal life, was the development and installation of a non-rattling spring shackle device which not only does away with all noises from the spring, but is auto matic in adjustment as well. As the natural wear occurs in these spring shackles, a spring contained in the shackle itself automatically takes up any side play which might cause a rattle.
 After this spring shackle had proven it's value, the Jordan engineers began working on other troublesome features of design and construction which had hitherto been considered as unavoidable sources of noise. Their efforts have been rewarded with an unusual degree of success. The Jor- dan car of today is famed for it's ability to run great distances under the most adverse conditions with shaking to pieces and becoming noisy. This is a very important quality of any car and should be given serious consideration by every prospective car buyer, as it indicates a. desire on the part of the manu facturer to build honest value into his product.

the boost, the cooperation, the pledge he makes to be a desirable motorist, the information he fur nishes. big conviction that motoring conditions can be improved only by the organized work of car owners themselves, and the publicity he gives this fact.
 Tt is impossible to estimate the number of services which an auto- mobile club can actually give the motorist, but 1t should be evident that the value and the number ot such services are in direct propro- tion to the assistance which each individual member gives his club. His support returns to him, as just one example, in info rmation as to traffic, road and touring conditions throughout the country. Without his loyal support and the co-opera- tion of other motorists who have organized for the same ideals, would not be possible to offer each motor ist such a complete service.
 Service should be measured by what the car owner actually re- ceives from his club in direct bene- fits, but the more important point is that such service is not possible without little effort on the pro- drction side.

PAID HIGH TRIBUTE RICKENBACKER GAR
Motor Authority Says Brake Adjustment Easiest On
 American Car

Commenting on the Rickenbacke CT has aroused world wide interest since It's introduction, Technical Editor four wheel braking system, which Tarantus of Motors states in a recent issue of the magazine that the Rick enbacker brake adjustment is the easiest he has ever seen onta an Amer lean car. Coming from such a high authority in the motor world those of the Rickenbacker organization are highly pleased with the tribute. In Birmingham the word Is especially pleasing to the Garth Motor company, local dealers for the Rickenbacker.
 In explaining his statement Editor Tarantus states:
 Tt has been known ever since the inception of the Rickenbacker com pany that a car with mechanically operated four-wheel brakes was held in readiness for tho market. The first Rickenbacker car designed had such braking system, but it was thought advisable to hold back the design until the public demand would force it into production. This has come about. Since the introduction of the car two years ago further de- velopment in four -wheels brakes has been pissible, so that the system as offered to the public on the current cars, is about as highly perfected as any system could possibly be.
 q have been particularly fortunate in watching closely this particular design from the original layout to the highly perfected unit it Is now and after driving the new Ricken- packer. I am completely satisfied that faultless four-wheel system has. been produced.
 "The Rickenbacker may be had with four wheel brakes at 1885. or with two-wheel brakes at $1,4S5.
 Before going into the advantages of a four-wheel brake system, let me say a word about the performance Of the Rickenbacker with this equip ment, which at the same time will bring out some of the desirable qual- ities of the four-wheel brakes. Driv- ing Captain Rickenbacker's personal car, I held it at about 40 miles per hour on a straight dry road near the factory, then suddenly l applied the brakes with the usual effort. The car eased down so quickly that my self was startled at the results. There was no abrupt stop, but rather very rapid deceleration in no more than half the distance usually required. The same thing was tried at nearly 50 miles per hour with results almost unbelievable. The car just does what you want it to do. It stops quickly with far less pedal pressure. l then tried the car on wet pavement TOT skidding tendencies with the brake pedal damned down hard. At 4O miles with brakes applied quickly the ear went straight forward and the 1Dbael tracks were visible without marks indicating wheel sliding.
 CT is one of the justified boasts
 "Tt is one of the Justified boasts matte equalization the car cannot go into a skid"

Red Top Cabs have been reaping harvest since the announcement of a reduction in rates, according to Henry Jenkins. who says that the public appreciates the saving thus afforded and shows it by liberal pat ronage.
 Since our announcement a few days ago that Red Top Cabs would not be in the Terminal station, a number of patrons have inquired about the new Terminal stand of the Red Top Cabs" said MT. Jenkins. ITO these I explain that for the reason that we concluded the raise in the rental for the Terminal station fran chise as excessive, we gave it up and will hereafter serve Terminal sta tion patrons from right across the street. The saving thus effected will be passed along to the customer. in

EXHIBITION OF
ALABAMA ARTISTS

The annual exhibition of Alabama
artists, sponsored by the Art League,
which opened at the Little Gallery
Wednesday afternoon, April 2, is
| drawing goodly crowds of discrimi
mating lovers of art.
In addition to the canvases on dis
| play, there are three tables of really
worth while ceramics, which show
! excellence of execution and original
| ity of design. The number of adj
miring visitors around these tables
offers strong proof of a revival of
interest in decorated china and pot
terry which affords an almost I'M
limited field for Imagination and
perfection of design.
Mrs. Anna Cole Tarrant shows a
large Satsuma vase, decorated in
lines of old Chinese blue. with many
bright colored flowers used conven-
tionally. which would make a stun
ming base for a lamp. Mrs. Tarrant
also exhibits a fruit bowl of unusual
design.
A graceful oval vase, with brilliant
coloring of red and green enamel,
showing merit and fine technique. is
exhibited by Miss Ethel Lindsay
kultt6 Of Gadsden, and would add
charm and color to the most artistic
home.
Washington, Ga, but now proudly
claimed by Birmingham, is repre-
scented by a dainty lemonade set of
coolest blue, with silver decoration
of perfect lines and even color.
A charming. cake plate in the same
coloring accompanies the set, and
suggests most invitingly-
"A shady porch. wicker chair,
A cooling drink, and you--my fair"
A beautiful electrolier, the exqui-
site work of Miss Sara Neill, has
large silk shade of two colors. which
reflects just the right tone of light
over the enameled base. Miss Neill
also exhibits a Satsuma bowl, with
decoration of butterflies which look
as though painted by Mother Nature
herself, with her most artistic touch.
Annie Southerne Tardy exhibits
breakfast set, which with its I'M
usual grape design of blue and pur-
pie should prove appetizing to the
most fastidious invalid. Miss Tardy
also shows two service plates. Chi
nese design in fierce-looking blue
dragons. and an Egyptian design of
soft reds and browns, done in hard
enamel.
