Automobile owners should keep a close watch on their automobile for the next few weeks, according to warn- ing issued Saturday by police officials, Records at the police station show that during the past three weeks more au- tomobiles have been stolen than is usual ly the case in two months.
 Comparative records of previous years show that thefts of automobiles increase during November and Decem- her. While the number of thefts have increased, the number of arrests also is on the upgrade and Automobile De- tectiyes Giles and Patterson received letter during the past week from John H. billiard, assistant manager of the Automobile Underwriters Detective bureau, commenting the Birmingham men for their work and placing the facilities of the bureau at the service of the Birmingham police force. This will greatly aid the local detectives, it was stated, as it will make aviable the services of a special agent in practical ly every southern city of important.
 Detectives Giles and Patterson as- sert that their work will be much easier and that autoists will have a greater opportunity of recovering their cars if thefts are reported immediately.
 Its much easier to recover car one hour after it is stolen than it is the next day, they asserted.

 The choir St. John A. NJ. E. church, of which the famous negress was a member, sang her favorite songs. Numbers of her educational associates spoke briefly, all of them urging the colored people of the city, state and nation to follow Carrie Tuggle's ex- ample.8
 When this good friend of ours laid down her burdens, she laid them upon us, and it is squarely up to us to carry on the great work she started and es- tablished on a firm basis," one of the members of the Tuggle institute faculty declared.
 Grand Chancellor Blount, of the col ored Knights of Pythias, told of a con- syersation he had with the dead leader a few days before the end came.
 She Was Happy
 "She told me she was going soon, Blount said, "and her thoughts were of the orphans and students out at the institute. She asked me if the work would be carried forward, and when told her the people of Alabama would not fail, she was happy.
 Mary Jones, colored fraternal leader from Georgia, declared Carrie Tuggle $ name will be a household word in ev- cry colored home from now on." She left the platform and walked in front of the casket to conclude her tribute.
 You were good woman, Carrie, and your works will live on. We will keep your memory green, and we will meet you in Heaven some day, she finished. This dramatic incident brought forth more shouts.
 The funeral sermon was delivered by the Rev.. H. $. Newsome, pastor of St. John church. With great emotion, he reviewed the life of Carrie Tuggie and worked the audience into high pitch of religious fervor, being frequently

ATLANTA. Nov. 9.-AIarcus Lowe Stokes, 9, fiddlin' Georgian cracker,' upset tradition when he was crowned champion of old-time southern fiddlers at the south's annual fiddlin' tourna- ment here Sunday morning.
 The young fiddler outfiddied and outjigged ''fiddlin' John" Carson,c G7, and 50 other aged artists of the hoof and bow at the classic southern hoe down.
 The judges gave the fiddlin' crown to Stokes lirgely on the strength of his endurance. After fiddlin' all day and all night Saturday, John admitted shortly after midnight he was bit tired, but Stokes declared he was just getting 'het up."
 Bear down, brethren,' he shouted about l a. m., as he jigged to the front of the stage and struck off with "Hell's Broke Loose ill. Georgia,' the tune which made "Fiddlin' John" himself famous among radio fans and "Fony- graf" patrons.
 We play till its milkin' time in Gainesville and the cows leave home," he challenged. "I'm just fixin' to get real het up."
 Six thousand feet patted out an ac- compartment for the young Georgia mountaineer, as he spat out the classic southern tunes his grand dad taught him up in the blue-ridge foothills, where niggers and white folks alike dance the breakdown" every Satur- day night until milking times.
 Although the judges made the official awards, it was the immense throng who heard the fiddlers and jigged their tunes who actually determined the win

 Organized civic bodies probabl would find His ideals too high. ] return he would be greeted with u cold shoulder, social ostracism au gentle but effective ridicule.

 ''This great colored woman," he be- gan, was born slave. So was Booker T. Washington. They both accom- plished great things and took their places as leaders of the black race. Now, I pray that some of the negroes of today, who were not slave-born, will be up and doing to emulate these examples.
 'There is no need to preach regu- lar funeral sermon. Carrie Tuggle does not need it. In death she is happy, I know. The need of the hour is for the negroes of Birmingham to profit by her glorious deeds"
 An almost, endless line of automo- piles, filled with white and colored peo- pie, followed the casket to the Tuggle institute, where simple ceremonies pre- ceded the interment. Special services Tn honor of the noted colored woman were held in practically every negro
