NEW FIRM NOW
 HAS STAR TIRE
Standard Rubber Com pany Also Handles
 Mohawk Tires

The Standard Rubber company, which opened for business few days ago at 420 Twentieth street, south, with the Mohawk line of tires, reports a splendid business and now announces the acqui- sition of the Star tire iE addition to the Mohawk line.
 The personnel of the new firm is composed of Carr Mccormack, presi- dent; Solon Jacobs, vice president; R. Fl. Borders, Jr., vice president and Wal lace Harrison, secretary. These men are so well known in the business world that they need no introduction to the Birmingham public and the fact that they are behind the new concern is ample assurance of it's success. Bob" Borders is a tire man of long experi- ence and with splendid record of success in his line. He is in active charge of the Standard Rubber com pany and says that the only '.fly in the ointment" just at the present writ ing is the fact that he is unable to get tires as fast as he is selling them.
 A conveniently located and up-to-date service station has been established at 40 Twentieth street, south, where re- tail sales are taken care of. The Standard does large wholesale busi- ness covering a wide territory.
 Both the Star and Mohawk lines are well known as high-grade standard mer- chandise with a fine reputation for quality and high mileage.

 monly called Woco Pep Hill. That is because thousands of; blends for Woco. Pep have been tested on that hill in actual practice. That is where Mir. Wolf, ford first began his benzol experiments in his own car. That is where he still tests motor fuel. He began to test this Woodward, benzol in every con- ceivable way. He tried it out straight in his motor and also mixed it with, gasoline in varying proportions. He tested for power, for mileage, for start, seeking an, ideal combination that would give the best possible service. He ran motor on the lowest grade fuel possible until it was choked up with carbon, then he began to use his benzol mixture in the motor and found that it cleaned out the motor and it ran as smoothly as a sewing machine. And for two years he continued to experiment.
 It was in the early part of 1918 that the Woodward Iron company was mo- tified that the demand for benzol would soon cease, By this time they knew what Mir. Wofford was doing and were encouraging him in his experiments. Early in March, 1918, the demand for their benzol was cut off and their stor- age began to mount up. They then called for MT. Wofford and told him their story. He told them he was not ready then but that he would attempt to make a market for their benzol. Y,
 It was on March 15, 1918, that Woco Pep Motor Fuel was first sold. A tank truck backed up to the old Copitol Park Garage at Sixth avenue and Twentieth street that morning and pro- ceeded to fill up the storage tank, with the new motor fuel. The station attend | ants stood around with faces long enough to eat oat meal out of a churn. ]. for with every drop that trickled through the hose, they pictured another customer leaving them, Then a big man drove. up, climbed out of his cal and tackled, a sign on the wall of the filling station. It read about like this {: "A New Motor Fuel 1

one of the oldest dairy establishments in Washington. He has brilliant war record, both in the Royal Flying corps and the United States army air service. Whether he proposed two hours after he met her is question about which there is a conflict of testimony; but there seems to be no question that two hours after he proposed he had tucked her into his red roadster and they were off to Baltimore.
 In even less time, apparently, Kitty Radcliffe woke up to the seriousness of what she had done. She insisted on being driven immediately to Washing ton, where she left her new husband literally standing on the front step, while she sent a frantic cable to her father. Then she fled to the country,

their tanks and drove out, and before they had gone six blocks they began to tell others about that new motor fuel, about the kick of its power and the smoothness of sts rum ming. And the business picked mp. .. And thus Woco Pep was born. And since that day the Wofford Oil com pany has sold no motor fuel except Woco Pep.
 The name was, of course, derived from the abbreviation of the Wofford Oil company, (W O Col and the suffix Pep" from the constant calls for that poppy stuff" It was advertised as a benzol-blend motor fuel superior to gasoline. Such challenge to the "big fellows" required lot of nerve.
 And then, of course, the williams be- gan to enter. It seems that hammers were plentiful in that day and they did more knocking than the motors that have no Woco Pep in them. Of course, the gosoline companies dropped their benzol like hot irons. They told the Manufacturers that benzol as motor fuel was nix-or words to that effech. Incidentally, some folks are still being told that, but mostly outside of Bir- mingham.
 But, probably you know the story the romance of Woco Pep-from there 6n. Perhaps you know that of six oil companies doing business in Birming- ham, four of them are putting a little behzol in their gasoline and a fifth has recently contractel, we understand, for substitute 'tanti-knock" ingredient to be sold at premium over gasoline All this is present-day history to you.
 But it might interest you to know that today this Birmingham-made ben sol tis bringing premium that it's manufacturers hardly dared hope for before Woco Pep was introduced as the first benzOl-blend motor fuel commer- cially marketed in America. Every single drop of this benzol is contracted for at premium prices and more could be used if it were produced. But, un- fortunately, benzol will always be a by-product and can never be produced in quantities sufficient to supply the demand. It takes a whole ton of coal to make only two or three gallons of benzol. But the market has been made and benzol manufacturers are happy.
 Maybe it will interest you to know that this Birhingham-made benzol in Woco Pep is being marketed in Missis- sippi, Tennessee, Georgia and through out Alabama; that the storage plant of

 Mir. Radcliffe took the first and fast est boat, reached Washington just six days after the wedding, and at once joined his daughter at Warrenton. There is said to have been a heart breaking scene between father and daughter, after which Radcliffe had stormy session with Wise, and then em- ployed lawyers. Wise, it was said, did not want to give up his wife.
 Meanwhile Elizabeth Hanna had be- come engaged to Richard Porter David son of Washington and their wedding, a little over a week ago, was a notable event in Washington society. So now what friends want to know is whether Lieutenant Brown is still waiting for Kitty Radcliffe and, if so, whether he will have waited in vain.

RAPID ROMANCE
 COMES TO END Welsh Girl Married After Engagement Of Few
 Hours

The romance of Catherine Radcliffe, daughter of Daniel Radcliffe, Welsh shipping owner, and George T. Wise, American dairyman and aviator, who eloped to Baltimore from Washington last September and were married after an engagement of two or three hours, has ended in Paris, says the New York World.
 A divorce has been granted to Mrs. Wise by the French courts on the ground that marital relations never ex- isted between her and her husband. Speculation now is whether Miss Rad cliffe's engagement to Lieut.. Julian P. Brown, United States marine corps, aid to Gen. Smedley B. Butler, which was so unceremoniously off, will be on again.
 A little more than year ago Kitty" Radcliffe, as her friends called her, 19 years old and charming, reached Wash ington from her home in Cardiff, Wales, to visit friends. She was fond of out door sports, an excellent rider, made friends rapidly and was soon identified with the younger set.
 Among her lntimates were Virginia Selden, one of the prettiest and most
  year, and Mrs. John Buchanan. Kitty Radcliffe often visited Mrs. Buchanan at her country home. at Warrenton, Va, and also her father-in-law, Gen. J. A. Buchanan, at his estate, Ayrshire, Up perville, Va, where he has a fine stable of thoroughbreds and a private training track. He hunted behind the Piedmont fox hounds, attended the big hunt breakfasts and balls and rode in the Virginia horse shows.
 It was while she was a member of house party at Ayrshire that her en- gagement to Lieutenant Brown was an- nounced. It aroused more than usual interest because an understanding, if not an actual engagement, had been supposed to exist between Lieutenant Brown and Miss Elizabeth Hanna, granddaughter of Mark Hanna. Mir. Radcliffe cabled from Cardiff his ap- proval of Kitty's engagement and plans were under way for an early wedding. It is understood that kitty Radcliffe met Wise at party. She was visiting her friend, Miss Selden, and September 21 she left the Selden home, saying she was going to visit Mrs. Buchanan. On the same day, according to accounts at that time George T. Wise of Washing tton, D. C., and Catherine Radcliffe of Cardiff, Wales, were married in Baltimore by a justice of the peace. When news of the elopment leaked out both Miss Selden and Mrs. Buchanan told reporters they had never seen nor heard of Wise in their lives. :. Wise is the son of the late J. A. Wise, whose firm, Wise Brothers, is

AUTOMATIC FOGHoRN

Few people realize the extent to which human life is safeguarded by automatic devices. Among the latest of these is fogaorn valve, controlled by a few strands of human hair. The hairs are stretched across a wooden frame, and the ends are fastened to a series of sensitive springs. When a fog comes up the hairs become moist and expand. This sets the horn in opera tion. After the fog is dissipated, the hairs contract and shut off the horn.- Popular Mechanics.

the Wofford Oil company today holds over three and a half million gallons, the largest independent jobbing plant in the country, right here in Birming- ham. These are but few of the high lights in the story of Woco Pep.
 The details of its battle for recog- nation, the griefs of its competition, the joy of it's conquest, all these mean more to us,. of course, than to you. Suf- flee it to know that the fight has been won and that today a market has been made for Birmingham-made benzol and that the romance of Woco Pep goes on and on, with the public as the audience and the actors, too.
 This, then, is the Romance of Woco Pep.
