BREAKING OF SEALS WILL NOT BRING ON
 SERIOUS RESULTS
Same Action Is Of Common Occurrence In British
 Ports
By RALPH II. TURNER

LONDON, June 21.-Government of- fcials, disavowing any concurrence with the action of shiping companies in bringing sealed supplies of ship liquor into American ports, concede that American customs officials are within their legal rights If they break the seals and confiscate the liquor.
 The breaking of seals of foreign customs departments is common occurrence in British ports and the British government win therefore not protest the American action.
 There is no likelihood of an Anglo American governmental incident aris- ing from the shippers action. If the ship lines take their case into the courts they will do so on their own initiative and without government backing.
 It is understood that the Acqui- tania will sail for New York Satur- day carrying supply of liquor sealed similarly to that carried by the Olympic Wednesday,.

Exceeding even the most optimistic predictions in vigor and intensity, enthusiasm created by The Age Herald's extraordinary offer of eight automobiles, coupled with Euaran teed cash earnings of from $.5 per week upward to all the energetic mon and women of Birmingham reached a high pitch Thursday. By mail, by telephone and in person, men and women everywhere in the city and suburbs are entering the race for the eight handsome cars and the cash offered with such lib- erality. Everywhere, all over Greater Birmingham. the "50,o club" has become the principal topic ing away free eight automobiles plus the fact that everyone who en- ters is guaranteed full pay for their time has awakened the ambition of every wide-awake man and woman in the city and the response is not only great but immediate.
 More The Merrier..
 The number of members Hooking into the race. for the motor cars and the cash payments makes easier the path of individual ambition and en- ergy. The "50,Oo0 club" campaign operates much as does political campaign-the more members to split the business the more opportu- nifty a really alert entrant in the race has of guaranteeing his or her final success. The subscription or ders obtainaNe are divided among SC many members when there are large numbers entered that not nearly so many are required to win the cars as would otherwise be the case. Everyone seems to realize the importance of an early start and by taking advantage of the early star ter's opportunity offer of 100000 eX- tra credits on each of the first four subscription orders member se- cures. Men and women in almost remains an unsolved mystery as to which sex has the best opportunity for final success.
 Interest shown In Cars.
 Dealers handling the exceptionally good cars selected as awards in the "50,000 club" report a greatly in creased interest in the cars. One look at the Jewett. the Columbia or the Essex or any one of the five Ford touring cars and the spare time effort required for a few weeks tC' secuSe one of them seems a small matter indeed for such great re- wards. The method by which these cars will be distributed by The Age Herald is greatly praised and the fact that no one can do any work at all without receiving full pay for their time Is the dominating feature that interests everyone. One lady, when enrolling herself yesterday said: q don't care so much for car, as I have a pretty good one now, but I could sure use s200 or $500 to mighty good advantage this summer as I want N take a trip to New York and this Is wonderful oppor- tunity for me. as I know I'll earn enough even if l don't get a car to take my trip" And she certainly spoke the truth, for if there is any man or woman in this city who wants to take vacation trip this summer, the 10000 club" opens the

QUIET IN SOMERSET
BUT DRILLING WILL
RESUME SHORTLY
New Rigs to Start Work and
Outlook for Year
1923 Good.

Somerset, Tex, Jan. Gas might be
expected, the Somerset field has been
very quiet for the last two weeks, in
fact since the beginning of the Holt
days. Nearly all rigs operating here
closed down for the wees of Christmas,
and those not closing down for the week
closed down for Christmas day and
New Years day, consequently few wells
have been completed during the last
week.
As an aftermath to this period of
quietness, much drilling will be done
here, according to the belief of most
of the local oil people. Several COM
panies who have ben inactive for the
last year or more are planning drilling
operations within the immediate future.
Possibly rs many as six new rigs will
be running within the next few days.
This, in addition TO the expected drill
ing campaign in the early spring, will
assure the Somerset field much bust
ness and activities for the year of 1923.

latter part of the week and is making
