Ruppin said that about $1,000 on long
national expenditures and in addition
to this amount $1,000. 900 is needed each
year. Half this sum is required for
social work from which no return could
be expected. This S2,5OO,OOO would be
supplied by the Kcren Hayesod. The
! remaining half could he invested in

which would do great good and would
yield about six per cent in Dr. Rup-

sum in revolving fund. suggesting

capital.

WASSONS MOTOR
 CHECK TO MOVE
Last Chance To Have Motor
 Tested This Week

The Wasson Motor Cheek, which was brought to Birmingham by the General Oil corporation, local distributor of Havoline motor oils and has been in service at the Go-Zip filling station Avenue G and sTwenty-fourth street, south, for the past five weeks, will nave on to another city November l, according to announcement of J. Gre gory Johnston, president of the Gen eral Oil corporation Saturday.
 Birmingham automobile owners who have not yet had their cars tested by this revolutionary invention are urged to avail themselves of this final oppor- tunity for a free test which will locate with certain accuracy any defect in the mechanical equipment of the car. The Wasson Motor Check has been of ists. From ten to fifteen cars have been on the check stands daily.
 The purpose of the Wasson Motor Check, is two fold, as described by L. L. Haynes, of the Indian Refining company who has had personal charge of the machine during it's stay in Bir- mingham. First of .all," says MT. Haynes, ''it; will locate with deadly ac- curacy any mechanical defect in a ear, and second it will demonstrate to each car owner in his own car, under the condition that he drives it every day that oil is more than oil-it is power."
 "One interesting test made here was on big Peerless car. The owner had been using Havoline "B", an extra heavy grade of oil. We ran his car on the motor check, adjusted the meas uring device, speeded up the car to fifty miles an hour and watched the power drop off under the brake load when the speed passed forty miles an hour. Here was proof of bad condition for hill climbing. The car was not right, horsepower was being lost some where. But the motor check was on the job and accounted for that loss by catching and measuring the vapor which slipped past the pistons. We drained and refilled the cranckcase with Havoline "A", medium heavy oil, and watched the power step up steadily until at forty miles an hour, it showed gain of ten horse power, and was still going up! A ten horsepower gain by simply changing oil !"
 The owner came in a couple of days later and upon being asked how his car was running, replied: That's the first time I ever got a thrill out of oil. don't have to shift to sec end going up Shades mountain.'"
 Many repair companies in the east are said to be using the Wasson Mo- tor Check to locate trouble of any kind, from wheels out of line to correct timing, and are charging from S1O to $20 for the diagnosis. However, the motoring public of Birmingham has m opportunity now to get the same tests free of charge while the Wasson Motor Check remains in Birmingham. As this motor check is the only one the Indian Refining company has in the south, it will probably be the last visit of this machine to Birmingham. Cars will be examined any time be- tween 8 o'clock in the morning and 9 o'clock in the evening.

occasions this will happen about four times a year-she will pass through the ordeal unscather.
 With such a girl, Queen Mary could not help getting on well. For if there is one thing, more than another, that Queen Mary loves, it is to play the god- mother to. other peoples children. To a stranger, her most frequent question is whether that person has family, and if so, what are the ages thereof. A young girl, impulsive, genuine, and not spoilt by flattery or fashion, would ap- peal at once to Queen Mary's heart. And, besides, the queen is not devoid of common sense. To have adopted to- wards Ishbel a naughty and superior air, would have been to SOW the seeds of a revolution. Ishbel is as much a lady as the Princess Mary, and the queen knows it-as does everyone else.
 Success Is Natural
 Ishbel may be described as steady. If it is her, duty to answer letters, then answered the letters will be. She comes of race to which method is a second nature. If she has. seen less of boys than the average girl in. the United States, this is due, not to her status in society, but to the difference between a country where there is and country where there is not co-education. She is not what the artist would call beauti-

BRITISH HOSTESS
 NOT CINDERELLA
MacD Donalds Daughter Has AL
 ways Known Polite Society

That Ishbel Macdonald, at 21 years old, should be hostess in Downing street is, doubtless, the romance of the Labor government, says the Current Opinion. But no one who is acquainted with the circumstances of this young lady will accept the view that, in any other detail except youth, she is to be regarded as the Cinderella of Scotland. As bachelor, Ramsay Macdonald was poor, but his poverty ceased when he married the niece of Lord Kelvin, set up an apartment in Lincoln's Inn Fields, built a house at Losseemouth in Scotland and established home in north. London. Macdonald has had an income which for many years, the Cool idgeS would have envived, and 1shbel was educated at an axclusive little school where Lord Lytton's' near rela- tives were her companions. The idea that she is unaccustomed to polite so- ciety is absurb. She has never known anything else. For the whole of her girlhood, her father was in parliament and had an income that enabled him to give and receive hospitality. Ishbel has thus grown up in public life; and, as for domesticity, since e~her mothers death, she has been instructed. by Dutch housekeeper, of whose nation it may be said that what they don't know of home is not of domestic knowledge.
 Etiquette is Simple
 Ishbel Macdonald is simply what Americans know as a college girl. If she dresses in a simple, indeed homely fashion, that is characteristic, not of her alleged working" class in society, but of all British intellectuals. The great lady who offered to choose her gowns and teach her department was thus misled by her prejudices. At the British court there is little etiquette that is not merely good manners, and Ishbel, like any other girl of the upper middle class, knows how to behave. The entertaining at Downing street is not in, itself Formidable. There are certain rules as to who shall be invited, and these rules are continued by permanent officials, from one prime minister to another. If you abide by the rules, all is plain sailing. What stirred the dove cotes when "Margot" Asquith was hos tess was, not that she observed the rules, but that she broke them. She sent in an Austrian ambassador to lunch with Maude Allan, the eminent dancer, and held amusing receptions for the display of the latest Parisian cos tunes. If Ishbel Macdonald remem- bers whose arm she Is to accept when she goes into dinner-and on important

WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS EXTRA
 THICK

Last nightI drove through Main street, where the traffic's extra thick; A fat jaywalker strolled across before my car, the nick stepped upon the gas. A thud "Take
 that, you boob,"tI said, As he turned seven somersaults and lit
 upon his head. A roadster backed out from the curb 1; its driver paid no heed To passing cara. used no brakes, but put on extra speed. He bumped a street car off the track,
 tore up block of paving. ,"Just look before you start" quoth I.
 You'll find it quite a saving" A chap hogged half the avenue; took
 his lamp and fender. I smashed a car with no tail light, but
 maybe they can mend her. A speeder, with his bright lights on,
 came flying through the night; '. shot him dead and left him there, and
 chuckled with delight. And yet I go upon my way, still free
 and .unmolested; No warrants out; have no fear that shall be arrested. Those deeds were only in my mind-but

 full. To be frank, she has not made such beauty her aim in life. And she would as soon think of using cosmetics as would most sensible English girls. Ishbel is one of the many millions of young women in that practical land who are unconscious, one way or the other, of personal appearance. Content to be herself, she takes. each day as it comes cheerful, companionable, candid, but kindly. About her, there is reason neither for mystery nor for surprise. Through and through, she is sincere without pretense of pretentiousness- and her success is to be regarded as the inevitable triumph of the obvious in human nature. Just such a success was Mrs. Gladstone in her day, and Mrs. Lloyd George, and Mrs. Balfour. They, like Ishbel, did everything as every thing should be done and nothing for effect.

Indications of gasoline price war are seen in the reduction of 4 cents per gallon in New England and the Atlantic seaboard states.

All of the major companies have made the price cut which is expected to spread out to include other eastern states very soon.
