 A motor car cannot be built to suit every prospective car buyer al though many manufacturers are try ing to accomplish this impossible task, resulting in the production of cars which are poorly suited for any given requirement. Jordan decided long ago that the best service could be rendered the motoring public by building car head and shoulders above the commonplace, even though the cost of such car must neces- sarily be little more.
 There is a very definite place for an honestly built, high-g grade motor car of moderate size and which is economical to operate and maintain. The average American family wants something better than the ordinary car produced in enormous quantities. The Jordan is not common car, it is too good to be common, and it's extreme long life and distinctive per formance and appearance are appre- ciated by people who do not care to pay $3,000 or s4000 for a car, but can never be satisfied with the com monplace. Besides, there are many wealthy people who have been ac- customed to one high grade car who are finding that they can now own two Jordans for about the same to- tai expense they have formerly

CANADA USING ONLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF HER WATER ENERGY

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb 10-Canada' $ waterfalls developed 100000 horse power of electrical energy during 1922. The revenue to manufacturers from this power amounted to s81,6o0,- 900, according tC report issued by the federal water powers branch of the dominion government.
 Ontario. with Niagara Falls as it's chief source of power, led in produc- tion among the provinces with 1,33O,- 900 horsepower, the report shows. Quebec followed closely with 1,100,- 900 horsepower, and British Colum- bia was third, with 310,000. The re- mainder was distributed among Mani- toba, Alberta, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land.
 Despite the high cost of construc- tion, hydrC-power development in- stalled last year totaled 529,000 horsepower. Total capital invested in water-power is estimated at $62o, 65S.731. Horse power development amounts to 337 per 1000 of Canada's s population.
 Demand upon industrial centers for greater pro duction is increasing with the cultivation of new stretches of farm land in the west" the report states. Industrial experts are urg- ing rapid installation of hydro power plants with view to providing ma chinery and other farm supplies at lower cost, and thus stimulate the greater settlement of lands"
 Water power now in use repre- sents little over per cent of Can adds total water power resources, which are estimated by the report at fl. 100000 horse-poWer.

white surplice over it, on the breast of which is red cross.
 Some of the emblems of the order are suggestive of different pur- pose, however. In the ritual sword is carried to symbolize service v spurs are worn to represent "ehival- ry," and loyalty" is expressed by carrying banners.
 The literature of the order states that it aims at forming 'in every ward of each town and in every large village conclave of crusaders, composed of real leaders of public opinion in the locality" Later on they intend ito get crusaders into parliament, on county and local coun cils, in the churches and out of them"
 The initiation of candidates, as re- gards time, place and ceremony closely resembles the Ku KluX Klan.
 When each candidate is initiated he is expected to make a donation of pound or more, there being no limit, to be used by the officials as they see fit.

NEW ENGLISH SECRET SOCIETY IS BLEND OF
 KHAN AND FASCIST

LONDON, Feb. 1o.-A strange se- cret society known as the Order of the Crusader, which seems to blend with an antique ritual certain points of resemblance to the Ku kluX klan and the Facisti of Italy, is springing up in England.
 According to member of the or der, it was founded two years ago. During the last two months it has been conducting an intensive cam paign for membership, and while it refuses to divulge the number of its members, it claims to have them in every section of Great Britain.
 The avowed object of the society is to bring back the spirit of the crusader to everyday life.
 Meetings of the order are held behind closed doors. On ceremonial occasions the members are dressed in a striking garb. Officers wear crimson robes with a large white cross on the left side. and other mem bers adopt black gown with

DANISH STATE |S EXPENSIVE LUXURY BUSINESS MEN SAY
Immediate Reduction of Gov ernment Costs Urged By Chancellor of Exchequer
 to Cut Taxes

COPENHAGEN. Denmark, Feb. 10. An insight into Danish finances is to be found in a recent speech in the Rigsdag by the chancellor of the exchequer. He says the situation is by no means enviable, and he calls for immediate reductions in state ex- penditures as preferable to increased taxation.
 The expenditures of Denmark have risen enormously since 1913, accord ing to a Danish economist. Ten years ago the annual total Income of Danish citizens amounted to 775,- 00O.o0O crowns, of which S2,oo0.oO0, or a little more than 10 per cent were paid to the state in taxes. Denmark now confronts a budget Of $50, ,000,- coo crowns, or nearly seven times as much as before the war. Between 1914 and 1921 Denmark had a nation al income of 12,750, 100000 crowns, of which 2,437,000,000, or about 20 per cent, were paid into the national treasury Hence 1t is seen what an expensive luxury the state has be- come.
 Reduce Force
 Denmark must strive hard to get back to normalcy in her expenditure,- a leading Danish business man has said to the correspondent of the As sociated Press. It is no good nibbling at the salary of the individual off, ficial. That merely makes for inef- ficient public servants, and will only reduce expenditures few millions. No, it Is necessary to scrap whole departments, or at Least reduce the number of personnel of one third or one-half of the present number. Cow ernment departments have, in so- called good times, tendency to appointed official creates work for too many officials and more expen- sive street car and railroad fares, gas, electricity, etc., without a cor responding increase in quality of comm odity, or service"
 Another prominent leader in the commercial world was more definite in his policy. He deplored, for in- stance, that the Danish foreign of flee. at a time when other govern ments were cutting down expenses, had increased costs by appointing new ministers and consuls every where. In his opinion 1t was high time for minor states like Denmark to abolish altogether the costly prac- tice of keeping ministers abroad. He suggested merging the present con- sul-general and minister into one person, a kind of high commissioner, who should chiefly look after the business end of the nations inter- ests, leaving political problems to the solution of special delegations.

W0CO PIP BEST FUR C0LD MOTORS
Recent Cold Snap Proved Val ue of Quick Starting Fuel,
 Says Wofford Company

The best boost for woco Pep, say retailers of the Wofford Oil com pany's famous benzol-blend. was tho recent cold weather that motorists experienced, with the consequent starting troubles due to cold motors. The fact that Birmingham car-own- CTS needed but such cold snap to further convince them that Woco Pep is worth five cents more per gallon than gasoline is proven by the comments heard at the Woco pumps while the cold weather was on.
 "A man with a tank of Woco Pep could have peddled 1t all out at about thirty cents per gallon if he had looked for those who were caught by the cold snap with some other fuel in their motors" remarked one filling station man in commenting on the recent freeze. We had any number of motorists drive in and fill up on woco Pep. remarking that they weren't going to wear down their batteries any more trying to start on less quick-firing motor fuel. Some times 1t takes a costly lesson like that to impress motorists with the exceptional high quality the Wolf ford company has maintained in their motor fuel. but 1t was one well learned this time."
 With gasoline having advanced two cents to the Woco Pep price, an even greater increase in the busi- ness of the Woco stations was mo- ticed during the past week. Offi- cials of the Wofford Oil company commented on the fact that their competitors had admitted that the recent cut on gasoline and coupon books had resulted in an increase in their business.
 we need no concessions to in- crease the sales of Woco Pep" de- clared c. H. Armstrong. "The fact that even in the face of the greatly reduced prices being offered by our competitors during the past two months our business has grown steadily is best proof that the pub lie appreciates our efforts to give it high-grade motor fuel at a legitimate price,"

COMMUNISTS FIGH CHURCHES IN RUSSIA

MOSCOW, Feb. 10-An anti religious campaign in towns and vil- lages all over Russia has been i'm augurated by the communist party in connection with the reformation movement in the orthodox church, and the numerous trials of church. men, which are still going on in many districts.
 Religion darkens the mind" is the keynote of most of the speeches and anti-religious lectures. While unof ficial support, and official recogni- ton of the various clerical groups who broke away from the former patriarch, Tikhon, has been afforded by the soviet government, the com munist party expresses itself against any reforms in the church which. 1t says, is trying to adopt sovietism in order to live. It demands the entire liquidation of the church.
 Anti-religi propaganda by lec- lures and otherwise is also being carried on among the Red army re- cruits in barracks.

JAPANESE GOVERNMENT IS DISPLAYING UTENSILS

TOXIC, Feb. 1o.-An exhibition of the newest, handiest and cheapest kitchen utensils used in America and Europe has been opened in the de- partment of agriculture and com merce building in Tokio. This exhi- bition was sponsored by Miss Inoue of the Tokio Women's university, to show Japanese housewives how to tighten their work. Baroness Shimazu had already opened to the public her kitchen, equipped after American models, while magazines for women devote pages to the explanation of practical methods of household man. agement The Japanese kitchen of old is so rudimentary in it's equip ment that the woman of the middle class finds cooking a very fatiguing task.

COMBAT REDS WITH
 GARDENS IS PLAN OFF MOMENTS FEDERATION

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-Planting of gardens, both flower and vegetable, as a means of combating radical ism and to make a nation beauti- full" has been assured through the efforts of the General Federation of Womens clubs. President Harding and other high government officials have given their official sanction to the movement.
 National Garden Week, as the movement has been named, will be observed during May. although the exact date has not been fixed. W6m- ems clubs in all sections of the United States will cooperate with civic organizations and schools in the planting and cultivation of gardens, and special lectures are contemplated.
 A man or woman with a garden is more cGntented and does not have time to become reactionary, accord- ing to officials supporting the move- ment. It also has an educational value for school children, in that they acquire a knowledge Of botany and love for beauty.
 City officials will be urged to join in the program by enlarging or inn proving civic parks Another phase will be the urging of the preserva- tion of natural beauty spots.
 National economy will be another result 1t was said. Home dwellers, by planting of vegetable gardens, will provide themselves with abun- dant fresh food stuffs, and a contin uation of the movement would tend to increase prosperity as whole.
 Among various agencies sponsoring Garden Week are the deDartment of agriculture; federal commission of education. the National Plant, Flow CT and Fruit Guild; National Con gress of Parent-T Teachers associa- tiCn; National Society for the Preser- vation of Wild Flowers; the Ameri- can Horticultural society, and the National Florists association.

Monday, February F, marks the beginning of the thirteenth year of the Brownell Auto company's busi- ness in Birmingham, during which time the firm has been continuously under one management.
 Although all three of the owners, Ted Brownell Blaine Brownell and Give Richardson are young men, they point with pride to the fact that, with one exception, theirs is the only automobile firm in Birmingham which has been in business for 12 years without a change of manage ment or reorganization of any kind.
 Coming to Birmingham from De- troit in 1911, unknown i'll the south. the Brownells secured the distribu- tion for Ford cars in Alabama. At that time less than a. dozen Model "T'' Ford cars were in use in Bir- mingham and there was only one deal re in the sttae. Four years later, in

found on the one car, And they can do this without sacrificing too much in the way of quality, too.
 It is the policy of the Jordan fac tory to build great value into their cars without paying great deal of attention to the many fancy fix lures and appliances found on some of the even lower priced cars. It is true that these fancy accessories at tract many inexperienced car buyers, but they are costly to install and a factory must cut the quality of it's car in the more important units if it is to install these accessories. Be sides, one doesn't buy car to look at, but rather to use. There is noth- ing sensational or flashy about the Jordan but when it comes to turn ing out the miles with little cost to it's owner there are few cars which can equal it at any price.

In 1917 BrowneH secured the franchise for selling Dodge cars in Birmingham and each year has witnessed sub stantial increase in sales Today registration indicates that there are more licenses for Dodge Brothers cars in Jefferson county than for any other make of car with the exception of the Ford.
 This year marks the seventh year of distribution of Dodge ears and Brownell now also handles the Gra- ham truck which is equipped with Dodge power plant The business of the Brownell Auto company so far in 1923 indicates that this will be the banner year of the concern and that the bueiness founded upon a substantial basis will continue to flourish and increase as the years go by.
