More Go-Zip Stations

Filling stations in Birmingham | serving motorists with "Go-ZIp," the new motor fuel, will be doubled within the next 50 days, according to announcement of Robert R. Meyers chairman of the board of directors of the General Oil corporation. With 12 stations now in service, | Mir. Meyer states that at least 25 will be in operation by March 1. The rapid increase in the use of "Go-Zip" among Birmingham automobile own ters Is being widely commented on new development in the automobile industry Is followed with keen in terest, according to MT. Meyer. Directors of the company have been more than pleased with the manner in which "Go-zip" sales have mounted" says MT. Meyer. When the company was organized the directors based the operating plan was quality. Following the discov- cry of the new fuel blend. came months of research work. studying and comparison to bring it to the highest possible point of efficiency. We selected a special grade of per fected gasoline, which when mixed with benzol, develops the cleanest and most powerful fuel on the mar ket. "Go-Zip" starts instanteneously and has 100 per cent combustion and absolutely no dilution of oil in the crank case. I can make this state ment, not only in the light of num- erous testimonials from motorists who have tried "Go-Zip" and are now using 1t exclusively, but from my own personal experience. My home is on Altamont Road at the highest point in the city, and there is the severest strain on a car up that in- cline. "Go-Zip" has always made the test.
 The latest "Go Zip" filling station at Eighth avenue and Twenty-fourth street, north, will be formally opened next Saturday. This station will be operated by Hemlock 62 Battery Service company, with Monk Bar .dolth and c. E. Henderson, who have formed partnership in charge.

MUCH S0-CALLED CARBON 0NLY DUST
Armstrong Says Much Car. bon Is Like A Brick-Is
 Baked Road Dust

An interesting discussion of the appearance of carbon in an automo- bile motor was provoked at a gather past week when group of ex- perienced automobile men happened together. A particularly bad case o1 carbon-choked motor was the sub ject of discussion and the assertion was made that a certain brand of oil had been the cause.
 c. H. Armstrong, sales manager of the motor oils division of the Wolf ford Oil company, was one of the ex- perts present, and advanced an inter- esting theory on the cause of -carbon in motors.
 T am partial, of course, to Woco motor oils and Woco Pep motor fuel, said MT. Armstrong. "and can demon strate for a certainty that they cause less carbon than other fuels and beside that point. What l would like to show Is this fact, that much of the so-called carbon appearing in a motor is after all merely rO4d dust, baked to a hard. abrasive brick by the heat of the engine.
 "Thfs can be forcibly demonstrated to anyone by the air-cleaning de- vice which I have often seen in operation at the Cruse-Crawford salesrooms. By this device all air going into the carburetor is strained of all foreign matter and you would be surprised at the amount of dirt and road dust which this device visibly shuts off from entering tpe motor.
 Road dust cannot but be drawn into the engine on a road trip and this dust Is often baked into hard brick thatis as good an .orasive ss flint. Motorists generally will ne ip- terested in seeing this device ip operation sand will imme diate:y. un- derstand the point am mcking- that all Is not carbon which cai>es in a motor"

Used Car Department
 On Systematic Basis

Mccormack Bros. Motor company is one of the first dealers in the south to put their used car depart ment on systematic basis similar to that on which the new car depart ment Is conducted.
 It has been customary with deal CTS to handle their used cars in al- most any haphazard fashion, with always in line with the actual worth of the used cars they sold. This fact brought about much dissatisfac- tion among the purchasers of their used cars, and much annoyance to the dealers themselves.
 Bill Pape. the well known sales manager at Mccormack Bros, says that his company is able to offer better values than other dealers in used cars because his used car de- partment Is systematized through out. Our used cars are made right before they are ever offered for sale." states MT. Pape. "The prices we ask are lower because our cost for getting car ready to sell is lower. We have a regular channel through which every used car must pass before 1t Is placed on the sales list. This .insures our customer his .nouSJ woAth HI any ol our cars, because they are all in good condi- tion and exactly as represented.
 We know that the public is learn ing that 1t pays to buy a used car from a reliable dealer Many of our customers tell us that they bought their cars from us without looking elsewhere because they have heard so many of our old customers say that we were reliable. We certainly appreciate this confidence and will continue our efforts to give a. fine value in every car we sell"

BALLOON TIRE Is BIC INF MOVEMENT
Pioneered And Developed By Firestone increases Com
 fort Of M0toriSt

The balloon tire, develoved and pioneered by the Firestone Tire and Rubber company. Is considered one of the greatest Improvements in the comfort, safety and economy of motoring since the invention of the pneumatic tire.
 It meets . demand which has existed for a long time with the motoring public-the need of a tire that could be used at low air pres- sure without sacrificing service or economy. That Is what the balloon gum-dipped cord gives.
 Many motorists have run their tires at a pressure lower than the recommended standards, prefertng to sacrifice tire mileage in order to ob- tain greater riding comfort, safety, and car conservation. The new bal loon tire is so designed and con- structed that extremely low air pres sure Is possible without injurihg or lessening the life of the tire.
 volume capacity of the regular tire. Therefore it requires but half as much air pressure to support the same weight. But the real balloon tire Is not merely an oversize cord tire, and should not be confused with such.
 While requiring a greatly en- larged casing to operate under low air pressure, the design and con struction Of the tire throughout re- quired new and original changes. Extreme flexibility of carcass and tread is a necessity.
 The carcass Is of special design, be- ing shaped to distribute the addi- tional flexing action properly in or der to give it the maximum capacity to absorb road shocks and to length en the life and service of the tire rather than to impair it under low air pressure. X
 One of the important changes in design are the thin sidewalks. The flexing action of any tire is local- ixed in the sidewalks. Naturally. under low pressure the fleXing action is greatly increased. Thick, heavy sidewalks construction naturally

But Fascist Row Causes Police
 tgSpirit Him in Taxi

New York, Sept. B.--A welcome more in keeping with his historic attempt at achievement than was ac- corded Lieutenant Antonio Locatelli last night, when he was hurried through side entrance of the Grand Central terminal into a wait- ing taxicab by the police, was plan- ned by welcoming committees today.
 Elaborate ceremonies for greeting the Italian airman, who was wreck cd off Greenland in his attempted flight from Italy to New York. were to have been held in the station with the Italian consul-general and other dignitaries in attendance. Nj
 Public knowledge of the cere- monies attracted a crowd of his compatriots who swarmed about the gates, starting a demonstration which, by the time of his arrival, was expressed in the cries of "Hurrah for Locatelli" and Down with Locatelli and the fascisti!"
 Fifteen policemen saw it was im- possible to combat the crowd of 5000 persons, so with the consent of the consul-general, Locatelli was surrounded by police and pushed into a taxicab.
 A banquet in his honor at the Ritz-Carlton was guarded by special police last night and an escort for him during his stay was arranged here.

 Marvellous Progress

swampscott, Mass, Sept. 1.-Two men who have been blind but who can now see clearly attended the convention of the American Roent- gen Ray society here yesterday to give witness to the hope that a radium treatment has been found to restore lost vision. Dr. Francis H. Williams of Boston, who treated the men, told the convention that he did not yet feel prepared to make any definite announcement as to the possibilities of the cure until he had gathered further evidence of the efficacy of the treatment,
 Dr. Williams discussed general problems In connection with the treatment of the bling and only touched briefly on the cases of tho two men. When one of the phy- sicians asked him to give the con- vention detailed information of his work, he replied that he was not ready to make such statement especially as those two men had not been treated exactly alike. He added that he would make a de- tained report after results were known in other cases now under treatment or observation. He said he was particularly desirous of not arousing any false hopes of cases to make him feel his treatment justi- fled an optimistic report to the society.

Pile Sufferers
Cah You Answer These Questions?

Do you know why ointments do not give you quick and lasting re- lief?
 Why cutting and operations fail :?
 Do you know the cause of piles is internal?
 That there is a stagnation of blood in the lower bowel?
 Do you know that there is a harmless internal tablet remedy dis covered by Dr. Leonhardt and known as HEM-ROID, now sold by Clark & Brainerd Co. and druggists gen. erally. that Is guaranteed?
 HEM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the internal cause by freeing blood circulation in the lower bowel. This simple home treatment has an almost unbelievable record for sure, safe and lasting relief to thousands of pile sick sufferers, and saves the needless pain and expense of an cp' eration. There is no reason why | should not do the same for you.

FRENCH TILL LOCKED
FOR LITTLE ENTENTE
Polish Minister Told Nation Can
Expect No More Loans
From Paris.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
PARIS, August 2S.-The first inti-
nation to the states of the little
entente" that France would no
longer supply them with money was
given on Wednesday. when Count
Skrzynsky. the Polish minister OF
foreign affairs. was told diplomatical-
ly that the French treasury was un-
able to support the allies any longer.
SkrZynsky. who was on his way
to Geneva, stopped in Paris to find
out the intentions of the French
government in regard to the loan
needed to complete the arming of
the Polish army and for works of
national importance. 1t is reliably
reported that members of the French
cabinet, while assuring their visitor
of the very friendly feelings France
has toward the Polish republic, said
the financial position Of France does
not permit her to continue the policy
OF the Poincare government in sup
plying indefinitely the smaller allies
with substantial loans and. while she
certainly would not object to any
arrangements Poland could make in
Paris with private bankers, Frances
treasury cannot see any way of Civ
ing or guaranteeing any foreign
loan.
Premier Herriot stated that this
policy must not be interpreted as an
unfriendly act toward Poland, and he
drew to the Polish minister's atten-
ton that he was applying to Poland
the same treatment that he will ap-
ply henceforth to other states.
