R|VERDALE HOTEL OPEN TO GUESTS
Lookout Mountain Resort Has Made Many Improve
 ments This Year

The Riverdale hotel. on Lookout mountain, near Mentone, Ala, Is now open for summer guests. Riverdale is owned and operated by R. E. and Jocelyn B. Mitchell. MT. Mitchell was formerly physical and educational di- rector of the Y. M. c. A.
 New improvements have been made this year by installing a new water system and over 150 guests can be cared for This has been done at an approximate cost of S1,000. Guests stopping at Riverdale are often sur prised when they see the DeSoto river flowing along on the top of the noun tain. The hotel grounds border on this beautiful stream, and giant oaks from a canopy over the entire grounds. Tennis, hiking, horseback riding, boating and swimming are some of the recreative sports.
 One of the most picturesque places near Riverdale is Jack Biddle's place. Mr. Riddle has installed every modern city convenience and has also shown the wonderful productiYeness of the soil. Birmingham people know of MT. Biddle's great success as a grower of fancy fruits. Following the river 8 little farther south we see the ma jestic DeSoto falls. Here the river takes a plunge of over 100 feet and vertical walls vary from 150 to over 200 feet. The country Is very rough and broken and a human Is seldom seen outside of tourists.
 Other Birmingham people who have attractive summer homes along the river are Ernest Red of the Birming- ham Grain company, Dr. W. T. Berry W. H. Wheeler of Wheeler Business college. ". s. Dobbins and Eli Short ridge.

MOTOR CAR ADDS ELEVEN YEARS
 TO HUMAN LIFE

Eleven years have been added to the average life of the Ameri- can citizen by the general adop- ton of the automobile as a means of transportation.
 In 1903. when only 10,S5o cars were produced, an American might hope to live an average of 37.64 years.
 In 1913, or ten years later when 46l,50O automobiles were built, his life expectancy was 41.01 years.
 In 1922, when 2,2S70 automo- piles were built, his life expec- tancy had increased to 4S.66 years.
 Sunshine, freedom from worry, the open air and the exhilaration of the open road has accomplished this in twenty years time.
 These figures were revealed after an investigation by three prominent physicians in Louisville in an exhibit at the National Health Exposition held during this month.
 That is why Edward s. Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car Company, says that the greatest contribution made to good health and future happiness of the American people is the last reduc- tion of the Ford price.
 It will take one million people away from the congested areas of the city out Into the country, not only for fresh air but to estab- fish homes where tho owner may have a garden and an open space for the development of his chil- dren.

Impirtance Of Grinding Valves

It is not good policy to see how long the valves will hold compress sion without grinding. They should be attended to at least every 2,000 miles, whether the compression Is leaking or not. Especially is this true with the exhaust valves. If they are neglected too long, they become deeply pitted, and then 1t is long job to grind them into good condi- tion again. In fact. if neglected too long, 1t may be necessary to Install new valves.
 Dirty spark plugs cause irregular firing.
 Always carry an extra fan belt in the tool box for an emergency. an ammeter. Always use volt meter.
 To facilitate gear shifting, squirt a little oil on the clutch thrust bear ing.
