Lincoln Woman Seeking seventh Dl-
 vorce Just Can't Remember
 Not until Mrs. Clara Craig of Lin coin can furnish the names of her seven husbands can she be assured of a divorce from the seventh one from Judge w. NJ. Morning of the local do- nestle relations court. says the New York World.
 ''How many times have you been married?" the judge asked her.
 Seven times," she replied.
 "Who were your former husbands!'
 Mrs. Craig sat and pOndered for a few minutes.
 '"I don't believe I can remember all of them," she finally replied.
 'I can scarcely blame you," said the judge, when the number runs so high It is asking quite lot, but surely you have some record somewhere that is available"
 Mrs. Craig didn't think she had. She said she was 39 years old and that she married her first husband when she was quite young.
 She is an attractive looking woman employed in a local business establish ment Her complaint against No. 2 was that he would not stay at home and that two months after they were mar ried he left and did not return.
 T cannot decide what to do about it," said the judge. Right now it looks as though I might be able to groom her for a record-breaker."

NEW CHRYSLER SIX
 ISSUES CHALLENGE
New Car Will Be Sold By DOmi-
 nick-Murphy Company

Widespread attention has been di- rected toward the Chrysler ear during theo last few weeks, not only by reason of it's exhibition at the New York show, but also because of the wide publicity given to it in advertise ing and national publications. The ChrysIer will be distributed in Birm- ingham by DOminick-M Murphy Motor company dealers for Maxwell-Cbaimers
 In speaking of the Chrysler Pat" Murphy, calls attention to the chal-' lenge issued by the Chrysler in regard to it's pulling power. This challenge covers lot of territory. It takes in every car and every test hill in the country. It takes in Coon Hollow in Seattle, Twin Peaks in Frisco, Look out Moutain in Denver. Reservoir Hill in Kansas City, Hall street in Portland. or even our own Eula street in Birmingham. It offers to out per form any car you choose on your own hill and promises that the result of the test will be revelation. It summar izes by saying that the Chrysler is a car whose performance carries no quali- fications."
 The Chrysler will be on display in the south for the first time in the At lanta show and will be shown in Birm- ingham immediately thereafter. Domin- ick-Murphy will have a stock on hand about the first of March, or possibly the late part of this month.

CAN SHIFT GEARS

Shifting gears from high to second or second to low at high speeds is so unheard of that it is a decided novelty.
 Recently at speed contests, conducted by the Lincoln Park, Detroit. police de- pertinent. Paige driver defonstrating the car to the officials, shifted from high to second at AS miles an hour. All of the police officials wanted to jump out immediately. They thought the transmission would jump from the car, they said later.
 The shift was nothing unusual for the Paige, according to the engineers, who say that it is one feature which makes the car such a remarkably easy automobile to take on long tours. Go ing down the steepest hill is perfectly safe and accomplished without the least wear on the brake bands as the engine can be made to hold back the car through the manipulation of the gears. tE s,tla s-a sts

BARDOLPH SERVICE

Does Not Expect To Sell Some thing When Call Is Answered

 You may call our phone. Main 62, and know that if you have had a puncture and your tube is worth re- pairing. it will be repaired and you will not be unduly urged to buy tube that you do not really need" asserted Mir. Bardolph.
 A showing of the new balloon tires as built by the General Tire company, has been arranged for this week, the new tires having arrived few days ago. The General company was one of the first to conceive the idea of a tire with low air pressure as being more satisfactory and comfortable, and has for long time built tire which required about half the pressure of the ordinary tire, resulting in much greater comfort, it is reasonable to sup pose, therefore, that the concern that pioneered the idea of low pressure tire. is exceptionally qualified to build balloon tirei'

.STUDEBAKER IS
 SETTING RECORD.
Seventy Per Cent Of Plant Facilities Provided During.
 Last Seven Years

Nineteen twenty-three was a banner year for the automobile industry in both production and sale of cars. Com ing after the year 1922, which showed a remarkable improvement over the off year." 1921, the increase in auto- mobile business during 1923 is even more impressive.
 Studebaker's record in making 1923 its banner year is all the more notable because it followed series of phe- nOmenal sales records. Each year for greatly exceeded those of the previous year.
 Students of statistics will recall the story that 1921 told. In that year the sales of Stakeholder cars were 29.4 per cent greater than in 1920, while the total number of cars sold of all other makes except Ford was 40 per cent less than in 1920 Stated otherwise, Stude- bakers ratio of sales was 129 and the total of other makes 60, as compared with 1920.
 In the year of 1922 Studebaker had the showing of record year, instead of weak year to Slrpass. and plans were laid for q production of 100000 cars. as Compared with 68,643 in 1921. Even with this large increase in pro- duction, at no time was the factory able to supply the demand for Stude baker cars; 110,269 cars were produced and sold during the year 1922, an in crease of 65 per cent over 1921, which. LID to that time, was the greatest year in the history of Studebaker.

BOSS !" GETS HIS"
Sc0rns The Small Graft, And Goes
 After Big Business

After Big Business
 Now. aside from his "slice" of the campaign funds, how does the aprofes- sional city boss make his money?
 The charge that he makes n large part of it by collecting it from the un- derworld and law violators generally, which has so frequently been made and is so generally believed, is not. in my judgment, true. Even in New York it is not true. Certainly it is not true in smaller cities. Where this game is played, it is. in the main, police graft, not political one. and it is an exceedingly rare thing for "a real boss to have been an indirect connection with it. The great ma jority of them are wholly free from it. and have all ways been. says Frant R. Kent in the Worlds Work.
 Where the boss makes his big money is from the business men and the big business interests who want political protection or political favOrs. In ev- cry city these interests seek the boss and employ him. Sometimes he ap- pears on their pay rolls, and some tlHcS uc lS tuCiC uut uocS hot uPpNHi There are ways, too, i'll all the bigger cities by which large corporations man. age financially to compensate the boss for his good will and assistance. Some times they pass him out a tip on the stock market, which he can play to ad- vantage. In New York and Chicago and in some cities of less size, great corporations have on their staff, well paid lawyer whose sole job is to look after their political interests. and who lis picked because of his personal close ness to the boss and his ability to deal with hmi. And in the big cities the boss. too, has his confidential agent or lawyer who represents him in business negotiations with the corporations.
 Obviously these negotiations are of a delicate and diplomatic nature. Both the corporation and the boss are inter ested in keeping them under cover V Both sides watch their step with con siderable care. Neither wants. except in rare cases, to deal directly with the other. Both employ intermediates who can be absolutely trusted and who profit | from the transaction.
 l The head of the corporation puts tht matter in the hands of his lawyer. ant he does not want to know anything about it. He wants no report from the lawyer He studiously avoids hearing any details or names. He gives him no instructions except in a general way and the conversation between them

GOLD IN GOOSE'S CRAW A Norwegian Lad Has An Adventure
 Like A Fairy Tale

LohdOn.-According to a Reuter- dis patch from Bergen, small boy, living at Rogaland. Norway, was recently the hero of an adventure which reads like a fairy story, says Le Petit Parisien.
 The youngster had driven flock of geese to the village pond and was on the point of herding them back to his fathers farm when he noticed a glint of gold in the beak of one of the birds He caught the goose and removed from it's craw a beautiful broach of very curious design. This he took to the conservator of the Stavanger museum who pronounced it an unusually rare and beautiful specimen of the gold smiths art, dating, he declared, from the era of the Vikings

HUDSON-ESSEX AT
 TOP PRODUCTION
Plant At Its Highest Point Dur ing Januafy

We are at the top mark of produc tion. January is not one of the peak months of the year, but this Januar& will see Hudson Essex pro ducing more cars than in any preyi ous months of our history.
 'The production will be approxi- mately twice that of January of last year.
 This is a correct ratio, for in 1924 Hudson Essex will produce twice as many motor cars as in 1923, which was itself record year for volume oi business. This expansion will come about through a great growth both in the Hudson super-six and in the new Essex six, which, in my opinion, will prove the largest selling six-cylinder car in the world"
 This is the message brought to Cleveland by R. J. Schmunk after g study of the Hudson Essex prospects for 1924,
 "The revamped and enlarged Hud son-Essex plant, which makes possi bIe the offering of these fine cars al of the most interesting sights you could imagine The factory covers more acre age than a good sized farm, yet it is not it's size. that chiefly impresses you. Ii is rather the perfect planning of work the minutely systematized organization There is no motor car plant which rep resents a higher efficiency than Hud son--none that have minimized vast, motion to greater degree.
 "In the Hudson factory 90 per cent of the constituent parts which make up Hudson and Essex cars are manu factured and finished. Even such units as axles, clutches and transmissions are produced by Hudson's own working force in it's own plant-not bought outside and assembled. That means only one manufacturing profit

ALL'S WELL SIGN FOR HIGHWAYS NOW SUGGESTED

A suggestion for an "all's we'll sign in case of wreck or breakdown on the highway is made to motorists through the Automobile club of southern California. It is. in effect. that the motorist forced to stop on the highway for repairs or because of accident. display white rag or handkerchief to indicate to passing drivers that no one is injured and no help is needed.
 Many drivers feel the urge to be of assistance when wrecked ma / chine is encountered and frequent ly there is congestion on the high ways, dIe to this worthy sentiment.
 Hence, congestion could be re- lieved in the vicinity of the wreck by the simple expedient of raising white emplem indicating that aid is not desired

DID YOU KNOW

That if your brakes fail when driv in the city one way to stop the car Is to scrape the tires against the curb? Drivers of heavily-loaded horse-drawn vehicles have long used this method of retarding their con veyances when descending hills. Ac- cording to law you should be driving as near the curb as possible, anyway. If you are where you ought to be when trouble comes the curb is a means of braking worth trying.
