ARMED OPPOSITION
 ENDING IN IRELAND
Just How Peace Will Come
 Though, Is Problem

Dublin, April 20 (By the Associated Press)--lt is generally recognized that armed opposition to the Free State is almost at an end. but prospects of permanent peace, some influential persons believe, depend on the man ner in which the resistence is termi- mated.
 To allow it to fizzle out, becoming daily less effective as leader after leader of the irregulars is captured, might, it is feared, involve months of costly spasmodic disturbances and pro- mote in the defeated an enduring bit terness that might find an outlet in assassinations.
 10000 Held Prisoners.
 Such a procedure would also in- volve the detention of more than 10000 prisoners and the consequent disaffection of their friends and rela- tives throughout Ireland. Moreover, until the last vestiges of the opposi- ton are stamped out it would be necessary to mantain the Free State army at strength approaching 50,- coo men, with an annual cost of over f10, 100000 pounds.
 It is universally admitted that the governments terms Of the surrender of all arms cannot be modified, that there can be only one government and one army within the state and that those holding republican opinions must consent to advocate them at the sEallot box.
 Vatican's Envoy.
 The Freeman's Journal argues that any attempt at this stage to convert the visit of Monsignor Luzio, emis- sary of the Holy See into a political mission is bound to fail for there is nothing to arbitrate about between the Irish people and their assailants. Those in arms against the ministers of the Free State know they can have reace any day by behaving as law abiding Irish citizens and conforming to the Catholic principles that pope after pope has laid down for the guidance of the Catholic conscience"
 The government has shown no in- dication of a willingness to make sur render any easier for its opponents and is holding out firmly against ap- peals from it's own friends to release prominent hunger strikers even though they include Miss Nell Ryan, sister-in-law of General Mucahy.

 House Searched.
 Under the decision of Chief of Detectives Ellis w. Hoagland and Chief Post Office Inspector Reuter-, the raiding party obtained search warrant and made "a systematic search of Doering's residence. In the attic in an old suit case the of ficers discovered most of the loot. consisting of some negotiable securi- ties and unsigned notes of the Fed eral Land bank.
 Further search of the house re- vealed a small arsenal. Sawed off shot guns, dynamite fuses, revolvers and automatic guns were taken from hiding places by the officers, who said these were the types of weapons that victims of the robbery told the police the bandits carried.
 According to Inspector Reuter-. whose employees are busy checking up the recovered bonds, all but s3O,000 of the s2,S00,oOO loot taken in the robbery has been recovered.

WANTS TOEXCLUDE CATCH.PENNY TRADE
Chicago Board of Trade RecOs- nizes Only Competent Speculation

Chicago, April 2O,-The Chicago board of trade recognizes the exist ence of two kinds of speculation That of the competent, 1t wants ant encourages: that of the incompetent 1t does not want. according to tho annual report of Robert McDouGal president of the board,
 Speculation by the incompetent l' contrary to the policy of the board, says the report. Care will be eXer' cised by board members to prevent such persons as arc incompetent from speculating. Under the term incom' potent are included all persons in po- sitions of trust, such as cashiers and bookkeepers; all persons financially unable to bear the losses which they risk incurring; all persons lacking in a study and understanding of grain market conditions; all persons whose families or dependents may be in- jured by such speculation.
 Welcomes Competent Speculation.
 The board of trade welcomes speculation from the competent and from them only" the report con tinues. This class includes men with intellectual and financial ability to make speculative investments, and who can, if necessary, bear losses without injury to themselves or oth- CTS.
 The United States supreme court has said that speculation by compe- tent men has value in avoiding or mitigating catastrophes, equalizing prices and providing for periods of want"
 In discussing the subject of short selling. President McDougal says in the report: "Short selling, being an indispensable feature of future trad ing, ought to be defended and ex- plained. It is almost universally ap- proved by economists and practical grain men. The chief benefit to the market of short selling is to put on the brakes against any undue fall or rise in price, thus keeping prices on a more even keel. It is beneficial to all interests to have the big fiuctua- tions thus eliminated, for grain can then be handled at smaller risk, on ohldIiIl iiidl SiHo, Llldt io -iioic u tltC producer and less to the consumer.
 Without short selling there could be no effective future trading and, if short selling should be abandoned, future trading would vanish with it, which would be a costly step back ward"
 Farmers Are Uninformed.
 President McDougal Is of the opinion that farmers are generally either uniformed or misinformed as to the board of trades nature and functions. He says:
 Not one farmer in a thousand knows the fact as established by in- strumentalities of the federal govern ment, that the middleman's toll on grain through the marketing ter minais like the Chicago board of trade are under open and free com petition, lower than on any other agricultural product. Farmers are not our friends, only because they don't know all the facts. Repre-

lieutenant, Austin Stack. inviting him to order the immediate cessation ot hostilities and declaring further mili- tary effort to be futile.
 There are many indications of an excessive detachment in the public mind and of refusal to judge harsh y even the most active enemies of the state. Liam Lynch was known as the principal agent of armed re- sistance and the destruction of prop erty accompanying it, yet his public funeral procession was five miles long and more than 500 motor cars were in line. The thousands of persons who attended the funeral undoubtedly included many supporters of the Free State who thought that Lynch's death was the prelude to peace.

Monday morning the used car deal CTS are expecting last day rush on reconditioned cars as Christmas gifts for the entire family. They point out that the used car of today Is quite different from the old-time used car that was the last remnant of it's race, and for which parts could seldom be secured or a mechanic found who would undertake to recondition 1t. Resent day cars are practically all standardized and all essential parts can be replaced at a minimum. of eX- pense and time. This gives a used car just the same degree of usefulness as a new car, and it usually can be bought at mere fraction of the price. To one who Is not acquainted with the actual conditions, it would be a real surprise to visit the used car de- partment of some of the Birmingham dealers and see the truly fine used cars that are for sale. Many of these are only a few months old, some have only been used a few weeks, when, due to some whim or financial re- verse, they were turned on the used

 S10O Less

 In general lines and construction the new Hudson sedan very closely resembles the previous car, but 1t sells for $1oo less. An important change has been the adoption of a new style, soft-top roof, which bet ters the appearance of the car. "The interior Is remarkable in every way" said Mir. Pryor. with the extra passenger seats removed there Is an exceptional roominess for the five passengers. The front seat has been set back substantially, which allows more room in the driy- ing compartment and at the wheel.
 "The back seat has been moved slightly forward and the cushions and upholstery have been deepened. With these Improvements, the riding comfort of passengers In both the front and rear seat Is surpassinsly ly pleasant.
 "The new sedan Is of high quality construction throughout. Upholstery and floor rugs are of beautiful green, the former being a long wear ing granite weave cloth. Interior &C., cessories include rear quarter shades, dome light with switch so located that 1t may be reached equally well fl om the front or rear compartment, smoking set, rear vision mirror and other similar Improvements. All doors have the regulation EudAon substantial four-hinge supports, in- suring perfect alignment. Entrance to and exit from the rear are fa- cilitated by wider doors, which also open wider.
 Drum type side lamps at the base of the windshield are standard equipment. Body and body panels are of aluminium construction and are finished in Valentino blue. Chassis parts are black.
 "In offering the new five-passen- ger sedan the Hudson Motor conn pany is maintaining a leadership in this type of car, which 1t has held from the time when sedans were first built. Hudson was the first company In the world to originate and market a sedan.

BALLOON TIRES
 GAIN IN FAVOR
Firestone Company First To Test Out New Large
 Castings

Balloon tires are now coming into the popularity, which Is due them as a meritorious asset to motor car com fort and efficiency.
 Roy Kay manager of the tire de- partment at Mccormack Brothers, announces that the past week has brought about an enormous display of interest in the new type tires. Roy sells the Firestone balloon tire and his company was the first to test out and produce this tire.
 It seems that the balloon tire is destined to become standard factory equipment on many makes of cars In the near future. It is already optional factory equipment on nearly every make of car. Popular demand will force the manufacturers to pro- vide the latest thing in tires for the buyers of their cars as soon as this popular demand has grown to any great extent.
 Roy Kay predicts that the balloon tire will do away with the necessity for installing shock absorbers on a -eaF-and will save the car owner a considerable sum In this way Ger tainly, no one thing contributes so much to long life and riding comfort in a motor car as the balloon tire.

PLANS T0 REDUCE
 USED JAR LOSSES
Three Plans For Solution Of Problem Will Be
 Discussed

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Co-opera steps undertaken by automobile deal CTS to reduce used car losses and solve the. used car problem" prob ably will furnish the most interest ing session of the seventh annual convention of the National Automobile Dealers association, to be held at Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, January 2S- 31. 1924. This meeting is open to all dealers of the United States. Special reduced rates of fare and one-half have been granted by the railroads to members of the association.
 Three plans that have attracted will be discussed The first of these plans, the "Appleby Motormart," will be discussed by James F. Appleby of Detroit Appleby, together with Percy Chamberlain, has formed the Percy Chamberlain Associates. Inc, to pationalize the Appleby plan.
 By the Appleby plan the automobile of the used car as part of his busl- ness. Instead all used car transac- tions are handled by motormart, opera ted by the dealers without profit, where used cars are bought and sold, with a definite price for each used automobile dealt in. This plan was begun in Anaheim, Cal, last March. Is in use in 26 Pacific coast cities and by January 1t Is ex- pected that 50 or more cities in Mich l igan, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa ana Pennsylvania will be operating these markets as a result of the promo tional work of the Chamberlain or ganization.
 The second plan to be discussed will be the Atlanta statistical bu- reau, which has operated throughout the year. This is bureau nam tained by the dealers of Atlanta Tor the apprisal and buying of used cars at definite price in the Atlanta ter ritory. R. H. Martin of Atlanta. pres | ident of the Martin Nash company, will discuss the accomplishment or the Atlanta plan. ,,, The third plan to be presented Will | be the Green Seal Merchandising Plan" developed by the dealers or | Cleveland, O., and which has oeen operating for about six months. k. u. | Schmunk, Hudson Essex distributor | at Cleveland, will present this plan, which has as Its characteristic req
 ture the re-establishing of confl- dence in the used car as an artlcle of merchandise, by standardizlng US mehcanical condition and guarantee ing that the car is In the condition represented when sold under tne Green Seal certification of the dealer association.
 The Appleby plan is the most rad ical departure in automobile mer- chandising that has developed since the introduction of time payments sales. The Appleby plan IS based on the principle that the dealer cannot both buy and sell merchandise com petitively and that inasmuch as ne will always have to buy the used car competitively so long as old auto mobiles are traded in as part pay. ment for new ones. then the dealers only way out Is to quit buying them at all.
