BOSTON WOOL.

Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Boston, April 9.-Trading in raw wool
was not heavy here today, but prices
continued strong. Much Of the inactiv-
ity here, it is said, is due to the fact
that several big manufacturers have
gone direct TO the growers for wool. The
American Wool Company. for example
is reported to have cleaned up 400 O0O
pounds of Idaho wool at prices ranging
around Ash cents in the grease.

The Germans claim that the evic-

ruthlessness, sthe troops going about
with their rifles and sabres ready for
action and often striking or showing
the inhabitants with them in order to
accelerate the evacuation of the build
ings.

BIRM|NGHAMT TIRES ARE MAKING GOOD.
Wide Distribution For Local Tire In Alabama And
 Nearby States

The manufacture of tires in Bir- rningham has long since passed the experimental stage, and the suc- cess of the Birmingham Cord Is now an assured success, according to number of observers who have kept a watchfuI eye upon the Birming ham Tire and Rubber company and It's products.
 This factory is owned by the Mur- ray Brothers who have gained much experience in the tire business in Birmingham and the establishment of this modern factory is a tribute to the progressiveness of these men who believe in the future of Fir rningham.
 A wide distribution has been se- cured for the Birmingham tires in Birmingham and also in many other Alabama cities and in surrounding territory.
 A splendid business is enjoyed by the Murray Tire company, which Is the distributing organization for the Birmingham tires at Avenue B and Twenty first street, and a number of dealers are handling Birmingham tires throughout the city. In all, about two dozen dealers are found throughout the state, and quite number in adjoining states.
 Carl Murray, who has just re- turned from trip through part of the territory, reports a splendid de- mand for his tires and recommen- 6ations from all users as to the fine mileage and service rendered by the
 Birmingham Cord.

REVIEW IF RACING FOR YEAR IF 1923.
Past Season Has Been Great 0ne-Splendid Work
 By Drivers

The past year has been 6 great one for automobile racing. Speeds went up. new champion was crowned. and the new engines showed that engineering has advanced great deal. Much was learned. Like every other season. we lost some men. Ono of the best pilots on the tracks lost his life during 1928. Just how I do not know, for I cannot un- over driving at fairly low speed. But that is racing. We have list of, brave young mon handling cars that can show 125 miles per hour. The cars represent a big investment In, money for you cannot Just put a racing car together-it must be built from the ground up. Ten thou sand dollars for car is common figure and of this sum the engine ture. Then comes the expense of shipping the car, of tho driver. me chanics, parts tires, gasoline, hotels and 50 on. If the car does not win or if tho car Is wrecked the loss runs into many thousands. At an million dollars worth of racing cars on the track, with the pilots driving for 8 total of s25,oo0 or s5o,oo0.
 This year Eddie Hearne Is the American Automobile association champion. He deserves the cham pionship for his excellent work dur ing the season, but I cannot fall to say a word about the second man to finish-Jimmy Murphy-who I be- neve to be the finest type of racing pilot In the world. He spent his own money to go abroad to race in the Italian race at Monza, then to Spain, then to England. He lost points in the American Automobile association championship events while away, but Murphy was trying to do all he could for the good of the sport, not for the money. He lost money on his trip. Murphy Is a great driver; he has shown that in winning the cham pionship last year and in winning the French Grand Prix three years ago
 Each year the American Automo- bile association, the governing rdc- Ing Louy, awards a certain number of points in certain races which it desigrates as championship events.

NOVEL EXHIBITION. OF NASH CLASSICS.
Mccormack Brothers Show Special CutaWay Showing
 Moving Parts

One of the most interesting ex- h1bits along auto row this week Is the special cut-away Nash chassis being featured on the beautiful sales room floor at Mccormack Brothers Motor company.
 This special Nash chassis is so designed as to show every moving part in the car In actual operation. An electric motor serves to revoIvs the complete Nash motor as though it were actually running under its own power. All the hitherto myster- ious parts about an automobile are to be seen performing their verious functions just as when your car Is running in everyday service.
 It Is remarkable how few motor car owners have any accurate con- ception of what the vital units In their cars really look like and what they do. This is a tribute to modern automotive engineering, as no other piece of machinery will give such constant service without the daily attention of an expert operator However, motor cars efficiency and ] life may be greatly increased by & few simple duties which almost every owner neglects through ignorance.
 It will be we'll worth every motor ists time to spend a few minutes go- ing over the exhibition Nash chassis at Mccormack Brothers. He will not only learn of the many mechanical improvements incorporated In the design of the new. Nash. but he will get an accurate working knowledge of his own car as well.
