 Having willingly met the war taxes levied for specific purpose and hav- ing paid over $5S0,O00, ,000 in five years, the motorist feels that he is en- titled in 1924 to be relieved in part at least from taxes levied in 1918 for purpose which has long since been ac- complshed I
 Major Britton stated that he felt satisfied that Congress would have im- posed the war excise tax on repair partshad Congress fully realized that such d tax is a tax on misfortune. There is no precedent, he stated. for Congress showing disposition to tax the misfortune of it's citizens. Under the provisions of the present law. an automobile owner must pay per cent tax on q repair part of his automobile required to replace one which he had the misfortune to break. He paid the tax on the part when he purchased his car.

CLERK SHOCKED
 BY OFFICE BOY
Get Out He Tells w. H. Van- derbilt, They'll Be Sending
 John D. Next Time

s BOSTON, Jan. 26.-William H. Vanderbilt, son of the late Alfred G. Vanderbilt and heir to $50, ,000, 900, likes the banking business so well that he has determined to learn it from the ground up. To do this he has hired out as office boy to Lee, Higginson & Co.,. State street bankers. In this move he has the full sanction of his bride of last November, the former Emily O,Neil Davies.
 Vanderbilt arrives at the office on the dot, takes his place on the bench with the other boys, answers telephone calls, runs errands and does anything and everything expected of a boy in a big banking house.
 Outside of office hours, However, his social life is in sharp contrast to his job. Upon his departure from work he returns to his home at No. 8 Louisberg Square, Beacon Hill, where he lives with his bride and where he employs butler and five servants. During the evening he is prominent in the social affairs of Boston's younger set. But next morning, promptly when the office opens, he is on hand to hang his hat on the peg and begin work.
 One clerk employed by the banking firm received a shock when he learned the identity of the new office boy"
 Only yesterday he had pressed but ton to summon one of the messengers and upon seeing new face he ex- claimed: 'e
 Hello !! What's your name?
 Vanderbilt" the messenger replied modestly.
 Get out of here" roared the clerk. ''The next time ring suppose they will be sending John D. Rockefeller to wait on me I" q %%J

DODGE BROTHERS
 ESTABLISH MARK
Fact That Over 90 Per Cent Are
 As Significant Past Record

One million cars built and sold in tho first nine years and eleven days of pro- duction. :te
 This is the latest achievement of Dodge Brothers, Detroit, who thereby add another to their long list of not able contributions to the automobile industry.
 It Is a worlds record.
 No other manufacturer, according to official figures shown by Dodge Broth CTS executives in support of their con- tentions, has achieved the one million mark son soon after the completion of his first car.
 Dodge Brothers began production on December 4, 1914. Car No. 1000, ,000 rolled off the final assembly line Decem- Der 13, 1923-9 years and II days later.
 Strong public demand has given a constant impetus to Dodge Brothers production from the very start. At the outset they were oversold-and have been ever since, despite enlargements which have converted factory of some 20 acres of floor space into great in dustrial city employing 10000 men and haVlng IIOOf space or more than OU acres. Only a few months ago a large new assembly plant was placed in op- eration, increasing plant capacity to approximately 1000 cars day and placing Dodge Brothers in better po- sition than ever before to build their share of the huge output scheduled for 1924.
 While factory officials are pleased at the attainment of the one million mark in so brief q period, they attach far greater importance to the fact that more than 90 per cent of the first mill lion cars are still in service.
 This is the point that interests the public, they maintain, for it is em- phatic evidence that quality production has always had preference over quan- tity production in Dodge Brothers works, even when the most heroic measures were being adopted to in

SELLING COURTESY. CONSIDERATION AND
 SERVICE PAYS WELL
How One Birmingham Automobile Dealer Got The Reputation Of Being A Reliable lnstitu-

T notice you are driving 'Hope;' you got good car for your money. MT. Bowden." It was a salesman of Me Cormack Brothers Motor Gar company, Birmingham, Ala, agent for Nash, Peerless and Jordan cars, speaking. 1"I want to thank you for the time you gave me when I was demonstrating the Nash to you" Don't mention it, old man." said Bowden. When the sales man had passed on, Bowden could not help but think: That's real un- usual, that fellow spent several good hours trying to sell me Nash and still he thanks me for the time, even after bought Hope"
 Bowden did not realize that this was one way that the Mccormack company sells the public through its salesmen :; not only selling them the cars that it represents but selling them the courtesy, consideration, service and general re- liability and dependability of the Me Cormack organization. Never knock anything that man already has his money tied up in," is one of Bill Pape's maxims-Pape is the sales manager of this concern, and also part owner.
 Reaching the public through the salesmen and sales organization sounds like a platitude, but there are many ways of working it out and the Me Cormack way has proved successful and is, on analysis, quite different from the average method applied.
 Once each week the entire sales force of this concern is entertained by the company at dinner, given at the best hotels in Birmingham. At these din- ners a regular course of instruction in the selling of automobiles is given by Bill Pape. -...
 Getting across hiseidea on policy for the salesmen as whole is possibly the prime secret of the success of the organization. One of Pape'ss sales talks is as follows:
 .g Neser Hold A Grudge
 When you go out and try to sell prospect and he lies to you and tells you that he is going to buy your car, you still have no reason for holding grudge against that man when he buys another car. I want every man who sells cars for this concern to remember that when he misses sale he is not through with his prospect. He must go back and see that prospect again, thank him for the time he gave you

crease plant capacity to meet the in- creasing demand.
 It is also more important than mere numbers to the automotiye industry as whole, as it is indicative of a con stant betterment of the product, as compared with the early days of expert mentation and unreliability.
 In almost every town in the country, and in many abroad, there are Dodge Brothers cars of 1915 and 1916 produc- tion, with hundreds of thousands of miles to their credit, still giving faith full daily service. Naturally, the peo- pie in these communities know about the cars and point to them as evidence | of a conscientious effort on the part of the manufacturers to build a product more and more worthy of general pub lie acceptance.
 "When you consider the number of cars lost annually through fire and oth- CT forms of accident" said a Dodge Brothers executive who is attending the automobile show, ''this is really a re. markable figure. To have 90 per cent

to show him our car and congratulate him on getting his moneys worth in the car that he did. buy"
 In respect to the organizatio Bill Pape says:
 When you go out to sell cars re- member that you are representing the whole organization of the Mccormack Brothers. Every man in this place of business, from the porter who sweeps the floors to the president of our con- cern, is interes.ed in the appearance and impression you make on the least prospect in your box. Remember that McCormack's does not hold a grudge in the world. We, therefore, expect you to forget any private grudges that you may have. We may have enemies, but we can't help that, and we may as well make the best use of them that we can.
 They are really a great help to us in the long run. If man tries to tear down good business institution by insinuation, mere words, and general +cnssedness, that institution prospers all the more. Remember while you are with us, you are not to knock the goods of any competitor, nor are you to knock any competitor. It is a fact that Mo Cormack's service is the equal of any in Birmingham. Tell your prospect that we give as good service as any one.
 This organization stands or falls on the impression that you men mako when you are about your daily tasks of selling its stocks. If single one of you makes bad impression, it will take the entire sales force more time to correct it. speaking in the aggregate. than, it did to mako 1t. We are not only selling the cars that are on our floor, nor the tires in our rack, nor the service of the repair shop, nor parts, but we are, also. selling Mccormack Brothers Motor Company to the citi- zens of Birmingham.
 Our service is sold to the citizens i; many of them have preference for the cars we sch, but we are selling them more than this, we are selling them the idea that we do business in such way that they can we'll expect us to be in the game ten years from now, possibly twenty-five or fifty years from now i; and that as long as they have anything that we may have sold them, they can expect to get justice and fair dealing, because we will be right on our corner of automobile row to give it to them"

BEWARE OF. TOO .
 RICH A MIXTURE.
G0-Zip Executive Points Out Importance Of Correct Car
 buretor Adjustment

Don't feed your car to rich mix ture." s<
 This advice is given motorists by J. Gregory Johnston, president of the General Oil corporation, who has been intimately identified with the motor fuel business in Birmingham and else where for the past eighteen years.
 "An automobiles diet is fully as i'm portant to its successful performance, as the diet of human to his digestive system" Mir. Johnston points out. Eff ty per cent of the cars running on the streets of Birmingham today have improperly adjusted carburetors and are not realizing the fullest measure of their potential efficiency. When we eat rich food too frequently, we de- velop digestive ailments. If we feed a mixture, the motor clogs, an exces- in the motor, dilutes the oil in the crank case, which causes waste and wear and tear on the motor"
 Motorists who use Go-Zip, the new motor fuel which officers of the com pany assert has been designed to pro- duce less condemnation than other liquid motor fuels, may avail them selves of the free service offered by the Birmingham Taxicab company, TIP North Nineteenth street, where expert mechanics are adjusting many carbu- retors to obtain for car owners 100 per cent power efficiency.
 Go-Zip sales reflected a marked in- crease in Birmingham during the past week, following the organization of the General Oil corporations sales force under the. personal direction of George Blinn, vice president of the company. In spite of numerous re- quests for Go-Zip agencies in other Alabama cities and neighboring states the officers of the company are ad, herring rigidly to their announced in. tention of proving Go-Zip to the auto. mobile trade in the Birmingham dis. trict before expanding into other states
 Work is progressing rapidly on the new units of the Go-Zip plant at 3300 Avenue E, where several large storage tanks, built on a concrete base are being erected. Additional improve ments in the factory are also in prog. reSs.

A smashing frontal attack on the re tention in 1924 of the war excise tax of per cent on motor vehicles, tires. ac- eessories and repair parts imposed in 1918 was made before the ways and means committee of the House of Rep resentatiyes on Thursday by Mai. Roy E. Britt0n of St. Louis. chairman of the legislative board of the American Automobile association. '5~t
 After presenting his, argument that this tax is discriminatory, nuisance tax as far as accessories are concerned and tax on misfortune in the case Of the tax paid on repair parts, Ma jor Britton pointed out that the automo- bile owner is the most taxed individ- ual both as to the number and variety of. special and general taxes imposed upou him by the federal, state, county and municipal taxing units. The au- tomobiIe owner residing in the city often pays as many as seven kinds of taxes in addition to the four levied on him by the federal government when ever he purchases q car. tire, accessory or repair part, according to Major Britton The following classes of taxes were listed as an example of the extent to which the motorist is made to pay by the various taxing units.
 l. State license foes.
 2. City license fees.
 8. State gasoline tax Gin 38 states.)
 4. State personal property tax.
 5. City personal property tax.
 G. State or city drivers license.
 [. State title registration fees.
 In some instances the counties add three more taxes by duplicating the li- cense, gasoline and personal property tax.
 In calling the excise war tax on mo- tor vehicles, tires, accessories and re- pair parts discriminatory, Major Brit ton stated that no other class of citi- zen pays so many taxes on one ar ticle of use as the motorists. 'The au- tomobile is an essential instrument of commerce, furnishing transportation for human beings and commodities and daily enters into every phase of the economic, commercial and social life of majority of our population said Major Britton. Not only does it meet the present day necessity for individ- ual transportation but it brings to the owner, his family and friends, services, conveniences and pleasures not possi-

mer camps in the national forests has been enormous in recent years since the government has approved of this method of vacationine and actually gives assistance to campers in estab- fishing homes.
 The Angeles forest in southern Cali fornia proved the most popular, with 1871 ,000 visitors. These figures do not include the visitors to the four national parks and five large monu- ments in California, which were viewed by more than 250,0O0 persons during 1923.
 While the automobile is credited with making possible these outings in the national forests, the increase in visitors has been greater than the en- larged use of automobiles. Hence, credit must be given to the govern ment as host for the growing popu- larity of these primeyal west coast forests.

CHAPLIN DEFENDS
 EDNA PURVIANCE
Charlie Chaplin Defends Wit
 ness To Dimes Shooting

HOLLYWOOD, Gal, Jan. 26.-An appeal for flair play" on behalf of Edna Purviance came Wednesday from Charles Chaplin, who has directed most of her recent pictures.
 Chaplin cited a number of letters he has received from pastors branding his personally directed picture, "A Woman of Paris" as unfit to be seen by their congregations, merely because Miss Purviance is a member of the east
 Thus very fine actress finds her self faced with unemployment" said Chaplin, who stands to lose heavily if the picture is ostracised.
 This is a heavy price to pay for chancing to be present when one man shoots another over a matter one knows nothing about, and in which one is not directly concerned" Chaplin con- cluded.
