NEEDS
IMPORTANT NCARS

There is a point. and quite an imror.-
and point, in ccnnec ion with The every
day use of a mo, or car that motorists
generally should take mo considera-

point is how well the motor ear in
question is adapted to the individual
needs of the purchaser from III stand

To illustrate. A man who uses mis-
car entirely or largely within the limits
OF a big city must use it within Ger

his motor car must perform economic

On the other hand, any owner who

AUTOMOBILE CLUB
 GETS NEW OFFICES
Now Located In Chamber Of
 Commerce Building .

Headquarters of the Birmingham Automobile club were removed from the Tutwiler hotel Thursday to the Chamber of Commerce.
 The change was made at the invita- tion of etary-Manager O. l.. Bum of the Chamber of Commrece, in line with his expressed wish that Birming- ham civic organization generally be given quarters under the same roof with the Chamber of Commerce.
 T hope that 1924 will see the cree tion of a new Chamber of Commerce building, where office facilities may be provided free for all luncheon clubs and other civic bodies," said MT. Bum. ''The thing we are aiming for is civic solidarity, and when all organizations that are working for the upbuilding of the city are under common roof, we will have a greater measure of com munity cooperation in all matters for the civic good"
 The Automobile club will occupy the section of the Chamber of Commerce suite formerly used for library. It has been found that large numbers of inquiring tourists who seek informa- tion as to roads come to the Chamber of Commerce for that information, and the location of the Automobile club offices in conjunction with the cen tral civic. organization is expected to he an advantage to all concerned.

ROLLING LIBRARY
 SERVING FARMERS
People Of Jefferson County. Us
 ing Many Books Now Offered

Establishment of school libraries in rural communities has proved to be one of the most important steps ever taken in the way of rural education in Jeff fersOn county E. B. Erwin, assistant superintendent of schools, said Satur- day in commenting on the response re- celved by library officials from the lief ferson county residents.
 A report on the work accomplished since the board of revenue voted to spend $10,000 year for. this purpose last fall has been made by Lloyd Jos selyn, city librarian, and Miss Marian Potts, who has immediate charge of rural libraries. It was shown that books have been placed in several schools and library facilities are being extended to include practically every community ill the county. A specially equipped automobile bus is now de- voted exclusively to hauling books from one part of the county to another.
 Not only the pupils, but the older people as well, are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by these li- braries to read high-class books" Mir, Erwin said. "I have never seen greater enthusiasm than has been shown by the people who are being benefited by these libraries"
 Jefferson county is said to be prae- tically the only county in Alabama and one of the few. in the south to extend library facilities to the most remote sections.

SELMIAN HAS CLAIM Related To Jennings, But Not Enough To Get Fortune

SELMA, Ala, Jan. 31.-(SpeciaD In an interview with Mrs. Sarah Jen- nings Gaddy in regard to probable claim to her share of the immense for tune of the late Edwin B. Jennings of Chicago the following facts were learned:
 In answer to letter of inquiry in regard to the immense estate of the late Edwin B. Jennings of Chicago, Mrs. Sarah Jennings Gaddy. the daughter of Gideon Jennings of Indiana, and granddaughter of Anthony Jen- 1iings of Indiana, later of Georgia, re- ceived a letter from theS Sadministrator of the estate that it was possible that she was distantly related to Edwin E. Jennings and as some members of the family had lived in Northern In- diana but not sufficiently near to be an heir to the estate.
 The administrator stated that there are now living first cousins once re- moved of Edwin B. Jennings and if re- lated at all Mrs. Gaddy's relationship was too remote for inheritance. Mrs. Gaddy has taken no further steps since receiving this letter on January IA. She has her full family tree of her fathers and her grandfather's family and has not yet heard from the Chi cago title and trust company to which she was referred by Cedric Elliott, administrator of the Edwin B. Jen- nings estate.
 Mrs. Gaddy is the wife of J. E. Cad dy, one of the most daring of the de- putty sheriffs of Dallas county.

GULF STATES STEEL EARNINGS INCREASE Reported l .--,c'' IInan Any Year
 III

Gulf Sa ' ce ompany's 1923 net income pf .Sl J1S521, equivalent after prefercrl t,iyidends to S1278 a share on the 112,120 shares of out standing common. was the largest the company has experienced since 1917, says the Wall Street Journal. In 1922 net reported was $95S. POT. or S7,25 a common share, while 1921 showed n -&e;icit of $501 ,916. .,
 During the year pust past Gulf States retired it's entire funded debt, consisting of $140,000 Self-Fluxing Ore and Iron 6s. so that it's present capital stfHefura consists of only S2.0000O0 first ani S60,000 second preferred ahead of the. $11 ,212.000 common dock.
 Working capital at the end of 1922 stood at $3,251 ,549 against $2,201 ,404 a year. previous. Cash on hand year ago was $790.010 and has undoubtedly increased since that time.
 Principal items produced by Gulf States Steel are steel ingots and bil- lets, wire rods and other wife products, some iron ore on it's own properties. In 1922 total output of all products was 1,321.9jS tons against 765, ,523 tons in 1921. While figures for 1923 are not yet available. they ahe expected to exceed those of 1922.
 Common stock pays $4 per share an nually. A continuance of active busi- ness in the steel industry would nat urally be reflected in Gulf States eran- ings and if predictions are borne out the company should be in a position to increase disbursements on its common stock before the end of the year.
