The Home Spirit
(Tuscaloosa News)

'
 In our homes we are supposedly surrounded with the people whom we profess to love best in the world. It is for them that we toll and sacrifice. Their we'll being Is worth more to us than our own. If trouble or illness threatens them our days are darkened and our hearts are heavy. Yet is 1t not true that we often fail to accord them the little courtesies of every day life which we hasten to show the stranger within our gates? Do we give them the few words of kindly appreciation which would mean so much to them? Do we give them the affection which is their right. and which we want for ourselves from them?

Tuscumbia's City Administration

Colbert County Reporter)
 The city of Tuscumbia has one of the best administrations in it's history. Mayor Isbell and his force of officers have done more for the town in material way the last two or three years than had been done in twenty-five. More paving and sidewalks were constructed during the administration of the present mayor than under any other. and the laws of the city and state are being enforced also. There are fewer violations of the lfauor laws here now than in some time. due to the diligent and active methods of the officers. The city also has splendid and accommo- dating city clerk. which makes the transactions had with the city pleasant and satisfactory.

ESSEX COACH
HAS BIG
FIELD
Remarkable Six-cyIinder En-
closed Car That Sells for
Under 81 900.

Never has a motor car been re-
ceived more warmly by the tech.
meal press and by the leading auto
motive experts than the new
Essex" declares Walter Lambert
local Hudson Essex dealer.
This Essex is really something
new--a full sized, six-cylinder car
listing at less than $1,00O--and the
writer's have seen in it that vital
something which means news.
THE comments of these experts
are as interesting to laymen as TO
the industry, for they bear directly
upon the quality and value of the
car itself. They may be compared
with skilled and competent theatrl-
cal criticisms. A few of them from
the leading magazines are as fol-
lows:
Motor: The new Essex is a
type of vehicle long needed in this
country. 1t possesses grace and
beauty and can travel at sustained
useful speeds without passenger dis
comfort. 1t is surprisingly eco
nomical to operate, and does not
cost much to buy. These qualities
combined in a six.cylinder closed
car selling for less than one thou
sand dollars, show what can be
done by an organization that can
work Just a little ahead of the
market and see the public demand
before it actually arrives. Low
maintenance, reliability and dura-
bility are functions OF Design and
material specifications. This ! can
say for the new Essex-it is the
best job that / have seen the Hud'
son engineers produce"

And then with her tiny hands

Frequent ,ides with her

VIHINT IIpS..
The correct method of starting a
car on cold day is by placing
a covering over the radiator and
starting the motor slowly. The
spark should be retarded in order
to warm the engine quickly and
the choke, rather than the &C.
celerator, should be used to boost

Make sure that vacuum tank, gas
line and gas tank are thoroughly
cleaned, for the slightest particles
of water are likely to freeze and

Junior Society
STUDENTS ANNOUNCE INTEN- TON TO ENTER CONTEST

The Prize Essay contest, conducted by the American Chemical society and made possible through the generosity of Mir. and Mrs. Francis P. GarYan, is an educational project. It is de- signed to direct attention to some of the important relations of chemistry, to encourage the requirement of famil- iarity with reference books and other sources of authoritative information, to promot expression of thought and the formulatio of ideas. Contests and those interested with them may gain much information about the applications of chemsitry without the actual study of the science.
 Furthermore, the Prize Essay contest seeks students of exceptional talent and rewards them with scholarship of sub- stantial value. Many educational institu- tions gave scholarships in addition to those originally provided.
 The contest of 1023-1924 proved con- clusively the value of the plan and its results are set forth in the report of the committee, printed as a separate pamphlet. The assistance of all those who generously gave of their time and effort to insure the success of the con- test in greatefully acknowledged.
 Those from Alabama winning prizes in this contest last year were: Misses Evelyn Byrd Barrett, of Ensley, Ana Boyd, of Hackleburg, Helen Jocelyn, of Sheffield, Messers.
