GREAT AUTO SHOW CLOSESSATURDAY
Exhibitors Expect Record Crowd On Last
 Night

Popular approval of the Dixie Auto mobile show reached it's climax Friday night, when the attendance at the audi torium ran well into four figures.
 Exhibitors are preparing for the final great crowds of the week Saturday aft ernoon and night, for it will be the last chance for late corners to see the $oOO,-- 900 display of new motor models and accessories.
 The complete success of the show and the satisfaction expressed both by ex- hibitors and patrons has led to the decision that the Dixie Automobile show shall be an annual event.
 Official as well as informal praise ot Birmingham's first big automobile show has been offered in abundance during the week. The Junior Chamber of Commerce, Kiwanis club, Real Estate exchange and other organizations for mally went on record as heartily ap- proving the show.
 Officers of the Motor Trade associa- tion are congratulating themselves upon the success of the show, not only from the standpoint of attendance, but also from the standpoint of artistic excel lence of the display. The Southeastern Automobile show in Atlanta, 1t is pointed out, has 'gone over" in the past with a record of 72,000 paid admissions, and this without music, without enter tainment and even without decorations. All three of these features have been employed with fine effect in providing a plasing setting for the Birmingham show, and, in addition, useful souvenirs heve been given away that total in value more than the cost of admission.
 At the final sessions of the show Saturday afternoon and night, Jock Deans, comedian with the Royal Scots, has been requested to sing his song, "Stony Broke in No Mans Land,' which was a favorite with the boys overseas. MT. Dean sang this song to an arriving detachment of American soldiers at Le Havre, and in his audi ence Friday night was Birmingham soldier who had heard him on that occasion. He requested Mir. Deans to sing the war song and the Scottish comedian has added it to his program for Saturday.
 William Nappi, whose orchestra has furnished the official music for the Dixie Automobile show, has been the recipient of many compliments from show visitors for the quality of the music provided.
 The automobile show will remain open until Il o'clock Saturday night, when the 50 new motor models on dis play will begin rolling back to their home showrooms.
