sensational tragedies Of the air.

Sergeant Warner, although one OF the
wings Of his plane was crushed IN the
collision and his plane crashed TO the
ground, miraculously escaped injury.
According to witnesses, Lieutenant
johnson desperately tried to regain con-
troll of his plane after it went into the
fatal spin but without success. As he
neared the ground he could be seen reel
ing for the switch to cut of his sparS
so as to prevent fire after the CRASH
which he saw was coming. This effort
evidently failed as the plane burst into
flames almost upon striking the ground

his right arm to shield his face. Res

for It probably is the most diver gently useful car ever brought out. Its front and rear seats can be easily and quickly adjusted to three diff ferent positions, permitting a tall driver to manipulate foot pedals without cramping of legs. By the same token short driver can ad- just the drivers seat so that he can easily reached the pedals. Rear seat can also be moved forward or back to accommodate the convenience of the passengers.
 The cars most remarkable char acteristic however, is that both front and rear seats and upholstery can be entirely removed and made up into a luxurious bed right in the car, a fea- ture that will prove invaluable to tourists and campers.

SPOT LIGHT ON
 DEALER TODAY

There is fast-growing public consciousness that the secret of sat isfaction in car ownership lies with the local dealer" says P. R. McCor- mack of Mccormack Brothers Motor company.
 The numerous and radical recent changes in automobile design and construction, the tremendous produc- tion of cars, the multiplicity of mod els and the acceleration of the whole industry have thrown sQuarely upon the local dealer responsibility for lo- cal satisfactory automotive trans portation.

EIGHTY PER GENT. NOW CLOSED TYPE
New Brougham Has Taken Puplic Fancy-Many
 Sold Here

Closed car production of the Paige and Jewett plants has shifted from approximately GO per cent of the total to 80 per cent of the total out put in November.
 With the making up of a tentative schedules for the next month comes the information from H. M. Jewett, president, that the new five-passen- ger Jewett brougham was largely responsible for changing the ratio of production.
 "The new brougham,' says MT. Jewett, with it's 31-inch doors and high bake enamel finish, providing lasting luster, has taken the public fancy Every dealer in the Paige and Jewett organization sold out his allotment of brodghams before Octo- Der was half over. An increased number in November has been asked by all This reception of new model is almost without precedent"
 The brougham has been on the market since September 30. At the time it was announced there were many skeptical persons, including dealers in the Jewett organization; who said that it was not possible to build a high bake enamel finish job on a wooden frame.
 When the dealers throughout the United States found that the factory had actually accomplished this seem ingly impossible feat, orders poured in,' states MT. Jewett. "As a result, we are unable to supply the demand until the November schedule of pro- duction starts"

 New Jewett Plant.
 The new Jewett plant last week was reported to have all outside con- structior work completede making it possible for all incoming shipments of machinery to be unloaded at it's doors.
 As the great majority of the equip ment will be entirely new, the work of installing will be considerably ex-' pedited by completion of the receiv- ing tracks and unloading docks. Such machinery as will be brought over from the old Jewett plant will re- quire but few days for installation, according to the plant engineers.
 The four assembly lines, each 1,096 feet long, are just about completed The feeders for the final assembly line, of which there will be 30 in all running from the various depart ments, are all on hand. Ten have been installed.
 These conveyors will be of the latest design and are making possi ble the increasing of the automobile plants efficiency several hundred per cent.

B|G INCREASE IN NASH CAR SALES
Volume Of Business Has Doubled In Past Four
 Months Is Claim

The increase in Nash sales has been a frequent topic of discussion throughout the entire country dur ing recent months. However the remarkable increase in the sale of Nash cars locally has greatly ex- ceeded the percentage of national in crease.
 In speaking of this, Mccormack Brothers Motor company states that the volume of Nash business has in creased in Birmingham more than 100 per cent during the past four months. This is certainly fine tribute to the superior value offered in the Nash car It is also an indi- cation that the public appreciates the splendid service facilities of the local Nash dealer, who has one of of the best equipped parts and serv- ice stations in the entire south.
 With the addition of two new mod e7s to the Nash line-the new six cylinder Victoria and four-cy finder business coupe-McCormacll Broth ere expects to show an even greater increase in Nash sales during the months to come. In fact November promises to be a record breaking month with them as to the number of cars sold, and December will un- doubt dly be still better.

 If for any cause the engine is overheating, the result will be a general increase in noise dut to the thinning out of lubricants by the added temperature. Obviously the wise owner will replenish his water supply and if he finds that the water is plentiful and not excessively heated, he will suspect that the crankcase oil has been diluted by gasoline working down and thinning it out.
