The Lure Of The Woods, Music Art And Sports All Occupy Place
 In Social Life

More and more obvious is the development of the spirit of play In the lives of Birmingham people as the city grows older and there are more forms of entertainment than formerly. These days there are so many more ways of one enjoying one self than just to go to a party and tea and talk' or play cards. While these methods of entertainment still exist and are always delightful there are more and an ever more increas- ing, more people who love the out of doors sports. With the advent or the automobile the woods have grown in popularity and either the picnic party-the 'possum hunt or the camp fire supper on the moun- tain are most popular forms Of en- tertainment. The lure of the woods is irresistible for they were never more glorious than now. No wonder the Alabama Art league felt the i'm pulse to call it's members together this week and renew it's activities. No wonder the painters feel tho im- pulse to take up their pallets and brushes for there Is every temptation to try and repeat on canvas the glories of these autumn days.
 "I think ] shall never see a poem
 like a tree
 A tree whose hungry mouth Is prest Against the earth's sweet flowing
 breast:
 tree that looks at God all day
 And lifts her leafy arms to pray A tree that may in summer wear
 A nest of robbins in her hair,
 Upon, whose bosom snow has lain: Who Intimately lives with rain
 Poems are made by fools like ne But only God can make a tree.
 Both the athletic and the art world are awake and every nerve in the bodies of those who love sport are at single with interest in the football games being played throughout the country. Who of us does not love youtl-who of us hasn't the spirit contest in our hearts and who of us is not interested in the outcome of these wonderful games of our boys on the gridron fields from our colleges.

industrial life to live. We are taking new interest in the things that beau tify our souls and elevate our lives beyond just the coal, iron, steel cement, brick, wood and stone-music and art are playing their important parts. Some one has said that music is the strongest pillar of culture, the pass word to society of gentle folk and the front door to the house of life"
 So we are getting away from just what we call the necessities of life" to the necessary IuXuries as music and art.
 Thanksgiving which comes on No vmber 29 this year will perhaps be the most universally and brilliantly observed Thanksgiving Birmingham has ever had. The clubs as usual will all celebrate with splendid Thanks giving balls. The Southern club, Bir mingham's oldest social club, which has since it's inauguration into the world observed Thanks giving by giving brilliant ball has begun plans for this year nounced its opening ball. The splendid organization has also always given beautiful ball to commemorate the season. The fact that their club home burned several years ago has made no difference in the general ob-
 
 the Tutwiler hotel as the place for their annual ball which will be bril- liant and beautiful event taking place as usual the night before Thanks giving.
 Thanksgiving afternoon the foot ball game will be played at Rick wood between University of Alabama and University of Florida and that evening Geraldine Farrar, the idol of the opera and concert stage" will be presented with her concert com pany at the splendid new Masonic auditorium. The football game and the presentation of this renowned artist will bring people to Birmins-. ham from all over this section of Alabama, and several Mississippi and Florida towns.
 So the fall season and the Thanks giving season will go down in his tory along with those before the war" as brilliant and interesting from every angle one wishes to view it.

CADILLAC ENJOYS
LARGEST JANUARY
RUN IN HISTORY
Breadth of Demand Is Indie
alive of General Pros
perity,

Both sales and production during
the month OF January were the larg-
est for any January in Cadillac his
tory, and reports for February indi-
cate even better results, according to
Jay W. Dunivan. manager Of distribu-
ton Of the Cadillac Motor Car Com
pany.
The demand from dealers and dis
tributors is not limited to any one sec
ton" states Mr. Dunivan, but is so
general that it shows a substantial
and permanent gain.
I'm the East, deliveries have been
hampered by unusually severe storms,
but orders are pouring in faster than
ever before at this season of the year.
January, from the standpoint Of
sales. was the best January we ever
experienced, and our production rec
ords for that month tell the same
story. Preliminary reports for the
month of February demonstrate that
it VIII show an even greater percant-
age of gain over every preceding Feb
ruary than was the case with Jan
uary. Distributors are also ordering

Why Auto
Mileage
Is Low

n NGINEERS testing motor
X truck at Waukesha, Wis, report
81 they have discovered why an
auto doesn't give thirty or more miles
to the gallon of gasoline.
Results of their tests have just been
given out at a meeting of the midwest
section of the Society Of Automotive
Engineers. Although they referred
especially to the action of a Patton
truck on city and country runs, it was
pointed out that they could just as
well apply to passenger automobiles.
The reasons for loss in fuel econ
omy, as learned by these tests, reports
James D. Fisher, chief engineer for
the Waukesha firm, are:
l. Lack of proper coordination Of
parts.
,. Wrong gear ratios.
3. Large engine.
I. Wrong type or size of carburetor.
;. Too rich fuel mixture.
6. Large radiators and inefficient
fan locations.
Z. Poor spark plugs and poor ig
milton.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1923-03-03

8. Improper suspension Of the en-
CINE in the frame.
He made this significant innovations
in the test truck:
1. Higher water jacket tempera-
lures.
2. Aluminium pistons.
3. Higher compression.
Originally, the truck made Al miles
to a gallon in city and So miles on
country runs. BY making the changes
suggested, Fisher was able to get 1913
miles to a gallon on city runs and III
on country runs.
Similar results could be obtained
with a passenger auto, said Fisher.

heavily in anticipation Of big spring
movement of cars.
THE shows throughout the coun-
try, our dealers report, have been un-
usually well attended. Sales have
been heavy, and what is even more
important, the buyers attitude is
highly encouraging.
"Our predictions at the close Of
1922 that 1928 would prove the best
year in Cadillac history have been
more than borne out by actual re-
year"
