CheEconomical Quality Car

Chevrolet prices not the lowest the market,
yet Chevrolet economical transportation averages
lowest In cost This average cost considers the pur
chase price, interest investment, depreciation and
all operating and maintenance costs.
detsiled comparison with any other In the low
priced field will convince you that Chevrolet is the
best buy because of its superior quality and because
the purchase price includes full equipment.
More than a million Chevroless are now In use.
Twelve huge plants building them at the
rate of twenty-five hundred pes working day. Nearly
one-half million Chevrolets bought in 1923
far exceeding in number the sales of any other
quality car.
Thus, our statements have the strongest possible

two. His advice should be val

Jack Chesbro has been signed
to coach the pitchers. We don't
know him. He may be gifted
with the teaching knack or may
not. If he is, he should be
valuable. In his days in the big
leagues Chesbro was one Of the
leading hurlers and should know
all the tricks of the trade
Whether he can impart his in
formation is another thing.
Uncle Nick Altrock is not only
a comedian, but he is a clever
teacher, especially for the young
southpaws. The wise ones will pay
strict attention to Nick. The
others don't count, there being
small room in this league for
dumb pitchers.
And don't overlook Mike Mar
tin. The veteran trainer knows a
whole lot about coaching ball
players and the pitchers may
get many a bit of good advice
from Mike.

Only Advice For
Bad Hole

There are golfers gifted with
a disposition which refuses to
be disturbed, no matter what
happens. They make fine medal
players, but not many en-
thusiasts can run up an eight
without a slight disruption of
the temper or without that bad
hole having an influence on
the next. The only way to beat
the bad hole is to plug along,
always with the thought that
the breaks even themselves in
golf and that a long putt or
two will come farther along in
the round, which may help to
square the matter Of the pad

.DUTCHDEHNERT
IS GREATEST
GUARD
Authorities Say Celtic Basket
ball Star Is UnexceIIed in
Position.

Just as Johnny Beckman and
Nat Holman, of the New York
Celtics, are ranked the foremost for
wards in basketball, their teammate,
Henry Dutch Dehnert, leads the list
Of famous guards. He is declared
by some authorities to be the
greatest guard in the games his
tory.
He also holds high place in the
ranking Of forwards, for, like all
the other members Of the world s
champion basketball team, he is at
home in any position.
Dehnert has held opponents
scoreless game after game yet
broken through and scored many
points. An extraordinary reach en-
ables him to turn and back down
to the basket, dribhling until within
shooting distance, then making the
shot without looking at the basket.
He guages the toss by his position
on the floor.
This style Of making field goals
has made Dehnert popular with
spectators who enjoy the spectacu-
lar. He is a colorful performer. In
fact, all the Celtics are. Each has
individual tricks and qualities that
makes him stand out among basket
ball stars.
Pete Barry, Dehnert's mate at
guard, Is reputed to be the fastest
player in the game at coming out of
the corner with ball. This ability
gets him more shots at the rim
than any other Celtic. For a big
man his speed is amazing. Barry
Is over six feet tall and is built in
excellent proportion.
The Celtics will perform against
the Palace Laundry team Friday
night at the Coliseum. A strong ad.

ing's and the Willard, Shoreham,

1C apparently IS unfortunate
for American athletic prestige be-
fore the world that the various

such a year for their more or
less spectacular battle for control.
Their newspaper barking back

Nevertheless and notwithstand-

$350,000 for the American ath-
letes who are to be chosen to
defend the honor of Uncle Sam
against the wolves of Europe. Yes,
wolves, judging from results in
the so-called winter sports.
Any unprejudiced reader Of
events at Chamonix, if given any
knowledge of athletics, must
have laughed outright at some
Of the decisions of the Olympic
judges.
At the same time, the old long
legged guy with the chin whisker
isn't accustomed to quitting. The
tougher the fight, the harder he
fights. Therefore, it is distinctly
up to Americans all to provide
the $350,O00 and send as many
of our athletes to France as pos
sible, give them every oppor-
tunity to make good, and then
to return like Americans should,

Next year about this time the

COL. HORACE HOOD VETERAN EDITOR, DIES AT CAPITAL
Montgomery Man Was Pioneer Exponent Of
 Prohibition
(State Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 30. - Col. Horace Hood, for nearly 40 years editor of The Montgomery Journal, died at his home at 10 :15 o'clock tonight. Colonel Hood had been in i'll health for several years and retired from business when he sold his newspaper property to Frederick I. Thompson and asso- ciates about two years ago.
 Colonel Hood had been an active fig ure in politics for many years. He was appointed sheriff of Montgomery county by former Gov. B. B. Conner in 1909, end elected to the same office in 1910.
 From the first, Colonel Hood was a pioneer exponent of prohibition. Under his direction the Journal declined 10 accept whisky advertisements about 20 years ago. At that time Montgomery had it's full quota of saloons and the liquor business was regarded as legiti- mate.
 He never missed chance to point out the evils of liquor and was leader in the long fight that finally put the saloons out of business.
 Funeral services will be announced Wednesday morning.

Partially Completed Res

The $25,0O0 home of J. R. McWane, president of the McWane Cast Iron Pipe company nearing completion on Strad- ford road, Red mountain, was swept by fire Tuesday night. The loss was cov- cred by insurance.
 The blaze had gained considerable headway when fire companies arrived, and their efforts were given to prevent spread to adjoining residences. The origin of the fire was mystery.
 Thousands of Birminghamisns in all parts of the city could see the blaze from their homes. Hundreds of auto ists went to the fire and traffic jam resulted that greatly inconvenienced the firemen in their work.
 Mir. McWane told The Age-Herald his home would have been completed in another 30 days, at which time he and his family intended to move in. Handsome furniture for the home had been selected, but had not been in- stalled.
 "This fire means that we'll be de- layed in moving" McWane said, but I'm going to start a new home on the same location right away. l do not think the loss was greater than $25,- GOO, as the house was not fully complet- ed, and everything was fully covered by insurance.

ATLANTA, Ga. Dec. 30.-The states comprising the Sixth federal re- serve district have produced during 1924 a much larger proposition of the cotton crop of the United States than in the past two years, while general business conditions iii the district have evidenced greater improvement during the months of November and December, and crops, taken as a whole, have turned out well from the financial standpoint of money return to the farmer, according to the December busi- ness review of the federal reserve bank, issued today.
 Retail trade during November was greater than in October, but still be- low the corresponding month last year.
