TRIBUTES TO FRIENDS.

The News has received from two
Terrell county girls the following
verse, in which each expresses appre
citation of a friend:
MY FRIEND.
I'm thankful for my friends,
The old ones and the new,
But none OF them can take the place
OF an old friend like you.
I've never seen a friend so dear
To me as you have been,
Pm thankful for the days we have,
For home and parents, too,
Oh! happy are we all
For the days we use to spend
Out in the open air SO dear,
And talks we use to have.

An item of unusual interest to truck operators is found in the announcement that Mccormack Brothers Motor com pany has secured the franchise for the distribution of Republic truck tires, which line includes the famous Republic Stag. &
 In speaking of the new line Roy Kay, manager of the tire department, said that he was exceedingly pleased in get ting the Republic line as he had long been familiar with this truck tire and has been watching it's performance.
 T know of a certain set of Republic truck tires that were put in service here over two and half years ago and they are still giving good service" con- tinued Roy.
 Last year when our firm was talk ing on certain make of tires was in favor of taking on the Republic and so am now gratified that we have them for our customers. Actual ex- perience has proven the superiority of the Republic and I have seen it demon strate its ability to save money for the true koperator through faithful service and long endurance. I cannot too high ly recommend this truck tire and we are proud that the service of a Reliable Institution is behind it. You'll soon see hundreds of them rolling around Birmingham because I know they're right"

were glad to have them," said Mir. Johnston late Saturday. From the comments we have heard since noon to- day, we are more firmly convinced than ever that Go-Zip is increasing in pop ularity by leaps and bounds with Bir- mingham automobile owners. We heard it on every hand. We told our guests, after they had filled their auto tanks with our fuel, to try it up Shades Noun tain. On the homeward journey we ac- tually had several of them stop by and tell us that the performance of their cars was a revelation to them, and that from now on they were using Go-Zip and nothing else"
 Decision of General Oil corporation officials to build the beautiful filling station, which is at once an ornamental feature of the landscape and a practical utility to adtomobilists, followed the heavy increase in travel which has come about with the rapid colonization of the, Shades Valley section, the opening of such new subdivisions in the new Country club district as Club Crest and Crestline Heights. Improvements on the Montgomery highway have also resulted Shades Mountain, it is pointed out.

CARE OF THE
 CARS WIRING By Barney Oldfield

The greater number of cars on the market today use an ignition system which comprises a storage battery, coil, timer-distributer and spark plugs. In addition, the generator comes into play at speeds generally above 15 miles per hour when it directly supplies ignition current.
 In order to function at maximum ef- ficiency, all ignition wiring and cables must be free from insulation breaks, connections must be clean and tight, the breaker points must be properly ad- justed (.O15 to .020 inch), connections at the ammeter must be tight and the battery in good condition. It is sur prising how much ignition difficulty may arise, due to an apparently small matter, as for instance, unevenly worn breaker points. The points must be clean and flat and the gap adjusted very accurately. When the points are not in good order nine times out of ten there is misfiring or weak firing on all cylinders, as the points break for all Where one cylinder is affected it is gen. erally a spark plug, its cable to the dis tributor or the segment inside the dis tributor cap.
 During and after a rainstorm many owners find that misfiring or no firing occurs. Water on the distributor cap, on the cables and spark plug insulaters does all sorts of short cicuiting. In rainy weather if the engine fails to start, the car. owner should dry every part of the ignition system he can get at even removing the cables from the distributor cap and drying the ends Then If the spark plug gaps are closed a trifle firing will be satisfactory.
 Whenever the ignition system is sus- pected or traced as being at fault, the usual method of detecting the faulty cylinder is to short circuit each spark plug with hammer head while the en- zine is running. When no change in running takes place when a plug is shorted that plug is at fault or else the cable supplying the current to the plug It is surprising how much unseen trou. ble may be brought about by faulty spark plugs. After the plugs have been used for a long period they may supply poor ignition, although appearing to be satisfactory.
 The shaft operating the breaker cam is generally supplied with a grase cur or other lubricating connection and this should be given attention once every week.

NEW GO-ZIP STATION
 SNASHES ALL RECORDS
General Oil Corporation Hosts To Thousands Of
 Motorists At New Place Saturday

Beginning early in the afternoon and continuing until we'll on toward mid night, and almost unbroken procession of automobiles wended their way over Red Mountain Saturday to the party given by the General Oil corporation and Auto Inn to celebrate the official opening of the new Go-Zip filling sta tion at Rosedale and the beautiful new refReshment resort at the intersection of the Montgomery highway and Edge wood road.
 One day sales records of Go-Zip went to smash as auto after auto wended it's way through the new filling station, filled up with the popular new motor fuel and received present of five gal Ions of motor oil, souvenirs and an i'm vitation to call next door at Auto Inn for refreshments While soft strains of orchestral music floated out over the valley, guests of the General Oil cor poration danced on the roof garden of Auto Inn or partook of refreshments at the tables set about the artistic pa- vilion.
 George Blinn. Geegory Johnston and other General Oil corporation officials were kept busy receiving the congrat- ulations of their guests, who commented with enthusiasm on the artistic appear ance of both the new Go-Zip station and the refreshment resort which seems destined to prove one of the most pop ular "stopping-off" places in the city for automobilists.
 Viewed from every standpoint the simultaneous opening of the two places was a signal success. The character of the entertainmeM was fully up to the advance notices, and the crowds were larger than anticipated.

|sl,OOO REWARD
 WOFFORD OFFER
Rumors Against Woco- Pep Set At Rest By
 Guarantee

An offer of $1,0O0 reward to the person who could successfully prove that Woco Pep is injurious to the mo- tor of an automobile has been in ef- feet for four years and has never been claimed, according to officials of the Wofford Oil company, who made this unique guarantee for their benzol-blend motor fuel soon after it was first mar keted.
 When iwoco Pep was first sold in Birmingham, unknowing car dealers, mechanics and the company's competitor immediately spread the rumors that this 'tnew motor fuel" was harmful to the motors of automobiles and thus attempt ed to prejudice car owners against it. G. T. Wofford, president of the com pany and developer of the new motor rfuel, immediately countered with the thousand dollar cash reward to the per son who could prove that Woco Pep was injurious, citing a letter from the service department of the Buick Motor company as testimony that a benzol- gasoline blend could be used in a motor safely. =
 Since Woco Pep has won its enor- nous popularity, many of the rumors have been killed by the actual experi- ence of thousands of motorists, but com petitors to the famous benzol-blend have sometimes spread similar propaganda in their efforts to discredit Woco Pep. These rumors, however, have been proven unfounded and have been shown to be emanating from irresponsible par ties or those who have selfish interests to serve, and Woco Pep sales have in- creased to a remarkable volume wher- ever the Birmingham-made benzol-blend has been introduced.

GEAR NOISE AND WHAT CAUSES IT Some Reliable InfOrma- ton As To How To
 Eliminate

More annoying than any other noise emitted by a car is that produced by the gears in the transmission and rear axle, when something or other is wrong. Normally the gears are fairly quiet when the car is in high gear, but in first and second speed the transmission gears produce a hum.
 It is generally thought that the noise heard comes from vibrat tion to the gear, transmitted to the shaft it is mounted upon and thence to the housing. The basic cause of the vibration is the changing of the load from one tooth to the next Gears with large teeth and n small load from one tooth to the next. Gears with large teeth and a small number of them generally emit a lower note than others with a smaller size tooth.
 The transmission with its spur gears Is a fairly reliable unit and is not so apt to cause growls fom the gearing, though this cannot be said of the rear axle. The latter is generally the cause sSof the bad noise your hear when coast ing. The coast noise is common to ! practically all axle gears because the teeth are finished only on one side. The driving side is the quiet side.
 When we come to causes of unusual gear noises in the transmission we may place worn bearings in first place. This also applies to the axle. Aside from bearing, clipped teeth, dirt on the teeth, gears running out of alignment, warped gears, bent shafts, and housing out of alignment are other causes.
 When, for example, the differential bearings are worn slightly the unit is permitted to shift and so change the pitch line upon which the ring gear runs. This poor mesh produces hum. If the ring gear itself is warped or if the rivets holding it are loose, the gear wabbles and an intermittent gear noise isj jproduced. Tight gears, gears that are too loose, lack of fabrication are common causes of axle gear noises. It is folly for the inexperienced owner to attempt to make q differential or pinion adjustment, for at best it is not an easy job even for the average me- rhanic to get these gears properly set
 All that has been discovered with re- spect to quieting the sliding gear trans- mission can be summed up in q very few words. First, the best possible ac ruracy in the geer teeth and in the distance between the shafts. Second, heavy walled housing. Third, the shortest and stiffest shafts possible and hearings of ample size to ensure rigid ity. Finaly, the use of lubricant that isa heaVy enough to deaden vibration, and fluid enough so that the gears can not cut channels in it and thereby run dry.

 When questioned as to- his opinion of the Republic truck tire, Jim Brennan expressed his enthusiastic approval of the selection and predicted that sales would increase tremendously as soon as it became known that McCormack Brothers were handling the Republic line. In fact the entire personnel of the tire department was highly pleased with the acquisition of the Republic franchise and everyone was confident that big business would follow.

PASS STREET CARS
 AT REDUCED SPEED

The motorist must be extremely care full in passing street cars. Always go slow, sound your horn and be ready to stop instantly, as many persons will try to rush around a street car, not realizing that their view of traffic is obstructed and that they are in imme- diate danger. Always pass vehicles headed in the same direction as the car you are, driving on the left side. Do not wait until you are directly in the rear of a vehicle before beginning to turn out.
