BRIDGING A THEOLOGICAL
CHASM

ness of spiritual vision which mark
all the thinking and speaking and
writing of Mary Baker Eddy. she is
able to differentiate between the man,
Jesus, and the Christ, the divine
idea; and thus, to the satisfaction OF
Jew and Gentle alike. she has per
manently bridged for millions, a theo-
logical chasm that had for centuries
yawned menacingly before the eyes
OF the confused and bewildered hu.
manity. Thus has she enabled her fol.
lowers, Jews and Gentiles alike, as she
has written in the tenets OF Christian

TO be admitted. Christian Scientists do
make much, very much OF Mrs. Eddy;

acknowledgements are made, and these
Endorsements are voiced, with some
qualification. Christian Science is all

UNCOMPROMISINGLY FOR THE
TRUTH
Four thousand years OF materialistic
training in the medical calling might
account somewhat for the stubborn
ness with which doctors cling to ma
terra medica; but two thousand years
of training in Christianity, the Found
er of which never used a drug in heal
ing, should have been sufficient, one
would think. to have weaned the
clergy from the pharmacopoeia and de.
pendence upon the prescription tablet.
1t is a deplorable fact that ministers
of the orthodox churches, ordained to
practice the Christian faith, stop far
short of doing so. in that they neglect
or ignore the injunction Of the Master
to his disciples and to all who should
follow in his footsteps to heal the
sick and it lie even more deplorable,
that, failing in the observance and

In dealing with recognized so-called

That is, they do not question the law

laws that determine the rise and fall

GO-ZP E.FTJEL
OF YELLOW CAB

Yellow Cabs operating over hills and
around Birmingham and environs are
averaging approximately IS miles to
the gallon on Go-Zip, according to the
records of the Yellow Cab company.
announced by P. Y. Whitman Satur-
day.
I'VE do not hesitate to state that
mileage records made by Yellow Cabs
operating in Birmingham with Go-Zip
were surprising to u.s." says Mr.. Whit
man. 1--WE have used practically every
gasoline and motor fuel which has been
recommended to us, and none of them
has approached in accomplishment what
GO-Zip has done. In a taxicab bust
ness, motor fuel cost is an important
item. We began using Go-Zip about 60
days after it was put on the market
here, and every month since then our
motor fuel bills have been relatively
lower than in months preceding.
There is another very unusual fea-
ture which commends Go-Zip to us
that is its quick firing power. None
OF our taxis are equipped with self
starters. They are all hand cranked.
Not once, since we began using Go-Zip.
have we found it necessary to prime
one, not once have we had one drowned.
In our Yellow Cab company and Drive
Yourself company we are running about
so cars. All of them now use Go-Zip.
We have had such phenomenal success
with this fuel that we shipped a few
gallons of it recently to Chicago, where
it was tested in the laboratories of the
Yellow Cab company. We received in
return a most favorable report as to
the qualities of the fuel"
Yellow Cabs using Go-Zip in Biz
mingham weigh approximately $500
pounds each. 1t is pointed out that in
the taxicab business there are many
more starts and stops than in the case
of pleasure touring cars and that,
therefore, the relative consumption of
motor fuel per mile is proportionately
higher, - -

FULL SHIFT AT
PEERLESS PLANT
Impetus Given Sales By
New Six Cylinder
Model.

The factory of the Peerless Motor
Car company is working both day and
night shifts in an effort to keep pace
with the increased demand for Peer
less automobiles, both Eight and Skies.
The regular day force. which is
larger than at any time during the
last II months, is working an extra
hour overtime every day, and every Sat
urday afternoon as well.
A night force, which has recently
been added, will probably continue to
operate all summer. according to Peer
less factory officials.
This overtime work in the Peerless
plant is due largely to the added i'm
petus given to Peerless sales by the new
six cylinder Peerless which has won in
slant success everywhere it has been
shown says ID. A. Burke, vice presi-
dent and general manager of the COM
pany.
Il have never known a new car to
be received SO enthusiastically both
by the trade and by the car-buylng
public.
Although the Peerless Six was for
merly presented only week ago, we
have been literally flooded with tele-
grams and letters of congEatulation
These have been followed up by sub.
stantial orders which have forced our
manufacturing facilities to the limit.
This demand comes at time when
orders for the Peerless Eight are ex.
ceedingly satisfactory"

Surprising all previous monthly pro-
duction records with a production of
24,091 cars for March, the conspicu-
ously strong position of Willys-Over-

shown to be fully warranted. The COM

ter with total of 6S,481 cars for the
first quarter of this year.
Willys-Overland production for the
first quarter of 1928 was A, 40 cars,
which in itself was very large in
crease over the same period for the
previous year, but this years produc-
ton is an increase of "a per cent over

Only seven manufacturers built more

ST[JDEBAKER CAR
SETS4 RECORDS
Writes A New Page In
History OF Union OF
South Africa

JOHANNESBURG, April 19.--Old
timers of the Boer trek wagon trails
thronged around a mud-daubed automo-
bile, when it drew up at the curb on
main troroughfare in Johannesburg
recently.
The machine, Studebaker L;ght-Six
touring car, had just written new
page in the colorful history Of the
Union of South Africa. Without a
! pause in the motors steady throb, it
had set four records in retraveling the
old settler routes, completely circling
| the union, in less than 100 hours-a
perilous trip that once took weeFs for
the bullock carts.
Made Three Other Records
Not only did the Studebaker estab-
lish new roqnd-trip records around
the union, but it also shattered three
kother records between points along the
course. Notable among these was the
new running time of 35 hours and 81
minutes between this city and Cape
Town. This was distance of 996
miles.
"a standard stock model was driven
out of Johannesburg by Fl. F. Payne,
Fred Scantlebury,i L. o. Bright and w.
B. du Preez., They drove over noun
famous roads, thick with mud, to Cape
Town, then through Port Elizabeth,
East London, Kokstad, Durham and re-
turn. The car made 2,687 mile cir
Gle. ra
Running time from the start here
and return was 90 hours, 46 minutes.
Gasoline consumption averaged 21.6
miles per Imperial gallon. The gasoline
mileage was unusually high, motorists
agreed, considering that an average
speed of 26.75 miles an hour was main
tanned along roads broken by frequent
streams, which compelled fording.
Numerous washouts, due to heavy
rains, forced the car to. travel along
long stretches of hilly, slippery road
way: subjecting the Studebaker and its
drivers to severe test, For this reason
the trip proved one of the most SEN
sational ever staged in South Africa.
The Studebaker is sold in Birming-
ham only by Cruse-C Crawford.

WOODWARD HAS
STABILIZERS NOW
New Line Added-Is Equipment

A new line has been taken on by
Charlie Woodward at Woodward Bat
terry company, this concern having Sc
cured the agency for Watson STABILIZE
ers. This appliance is claimed to be
one of the most effective shock-absorb-
ers on the mraket and is found on such
cars as Packard, Franklin, Cunning
ham, Dusenberg, Brewster and other
high priced cars, but that are made
for any ear and may be secured now
from Woodward Battery company. The
Stabilizer claims to give comfort, econ

even for the small car and Woodward
only asks trial of a set of Stabillz-
ers, for he feels that such a trial will

One Of the factors retarding road
development is lack of appreciation OF
the modern science of highway build
ing and using.
We know too many things about
roads which are not so!
Many of our highway ideas are TWEEN
ty years behind the times We haven't
caught up with the engineer.
For instance, "aH roads wear out.
The enormous money invested in them
is thus a capital loss
Roads do not wear out. The sur
face of a good road wears, of course.
So does the roof Of a house. But re,
placing the house roof doesn't mean
that the rest of the house isn't goodj
The surface of road is its roof. If
it wears out it must be replaced. But
that doesn't mean that the right of
way, the grade, foundation, and all the
material is any less valuable than at
first.
Trucks destroy roads. Therefore
trucks should pay for roads! That, too
is fallacy. A truck no more destroys
a road, when truck and road fit, than
baby carriage destroys a garden
path 1t is lack of maintenance which
destroys roads, it is allowing too light
IA road to be built for the traffic it
will bear, which destroys roads; it is
failure to enact wide tire and maxi
mum load laws which destroy roads.
There isn't money enough to pay fol
national highways. We will all be
bankrupt! More fallacy. There are
fourteen million motor cars in the
United States. If they are worth on
an average of $500 each (Which is an
UNDERESTIMATE they represent an in.
