New Production Mark .
 Made by Nash Company

Oyersold to the extent of 7S0o cars although production is at the highest point ever attained and sales running well past the best prev ious record, Is the remarkable busl- ness condition reported by the Nash Motors Company, kenosha Wlscon- sin. In giving out this statement, F.. H, McCarty, Nash general sales manager, says Nash now occupies what can truthfully be termed an unprecedented business position on several counts. Rarely in any manu- featuring line does an oversold con- dition exist coincident with record breaking output. And even greater sieinificances is vested in this over vhelming demand for the new Nash models due to the fact that it is talk ing place at the season Of the year ordinarily not the most productive In point of sales and at time when the motor car industry as whole IS well below the peak of business.
 An analysis of the source Of thls rising tide of orders flooding the factory reveals another interesting sidelight. The demand is not spotty or confined largely to few tcrri- tories but is springing evenly from all over the United tSates. Partlcu- larly is this surprising in view of the fact that in some districts of the United States important industries which proVide major employment for these regions are working on re- duced time. Yet, even from these districts, the volume of orders is flowing strongly.
 "The truth of if is dealers arc finding it difficult to retain even a few of the various models for show room purposes and for domonstra- tion. In fact, in concluding our ar engagements to honor the record- breaking success Of the now Nash models by holding national Nash Oversod Week from October 5th to 1eth and staging q special exhibition Of the advance six series and special six series. wc found that cars would be available to us for this display only through the fine courtesy of recent purchasers. This situation is rapidly being rcm"dicd by the in orcasing rate Of factory production and we can offer assurance that there will he no unreasonable delay In making deliveries on orders placed promptly. However, 10 in- sure fairness 10 all, Nash dealers generally have adoptod the rotation basis of taking care of customers. --Advt.

JOHNSON
 IS TOBE HANGED
Court Sets April 25. As Day For Execution Of AK Murderer,
 Recently Convicted

Peyton Johnson, negro, convicted of the murder with an ax of John Robert Turner, was sentenced Saturday to be hanged April 25, by Judge H. P. Heflin, who tried the case.
 Johnson's attorney, George Frye. made a plea for a new trial on the ground that Assistant Solicitor J. F. Mccoy had appealed to the prejudice of the\ jury in obtaining his conviction, but Judge Heflin overruled his motion. Notice of appeal was given immediately.
 When. asked if he had anything to say as to why sentence should not be passed on him, Johnson replied in the affirmative, but did not say anything more at that time. It was not until he was about to be. led from the room to his cell in the county jail that he spoke again. tt
 q am not guilty, judge" he said. "They are going to take my life for nothing"
 As he left the room, he lighted a cigarette and puffed at it as he walked unhancuffed beside one of the jail of ficials, down the hall to the elevator. Johnson was the first of three alleged ax murdererS to be tried in connection with the death of Turner, whose body was found with a gash in the head in an alleyway in North Birmingham, January G. 1923.

GRANT SUSPENSION I 7 ON STORAGE RIGHT
Traffic Association After Con-
 tinuation Of Transit Case

The interstate commerce commission has granted a petition for suspension filed by the Birmingham Traffic asso- citation in connection with the proposed cancellation of certain storage in transit arrangements on apples as accorded by the Frisco railroad at Birmingham when destined to points located on the Louisville and Nashville railroad, cham Der officials announced Saturday.
 Under the present arrangements, as published by the Frisco railroad, ap- pies may be stored at Birmingham when coming from western territory and reshipped to points on the Louisville and Nashville railroad based upon the through rate effective at the time of to ultimate destination. plus stoppage charge at Birmingham.
 Had the proposed cancellation of this storage arrangement to Louisville and Nashville points gone into effect, it would have resulted in jobbers and commission merchants at Birmingham being forced to pay combination rates to Louisville and Nashville points when the inbound movement is via the Frisco railroad, which would amount to ma terial increases.
 For instance, the rate from certain Washington points to Montgomery, Ala, would have been increased from $1.50 to SLIT to Selma from $1.5O to $1.6515, and to Pensacola from $1.50 to $1.97a.
 The commission has set this case for hearing before Examiner Worthington at Birmingham under date of April 5.

URGES NEW ROOF . ON OLD SHINGLES
Berdau TelIs Of Saving Ir Property, Time And
 Al

Of the approximately eighteen mil lion wood-roofed buildings in the Unit ed States. about one-fifth of them, ,ac- cordfng to J.. M. Berdau, general man ager roofing department, Johns-Man- vile, Inc, have roofs that are either totally worn out or sadly in need of repair.
 There's reason for these S, S,600, 900 defective wooden roofs," said Mir. Ber- dau. s.Such high proportion (and you will agree that q fifth is pretty large) is due to the fact that many cases of much-needed roof repair were deferred for several years, because of the war and the resultant high building costs. In meeting the need of home owners who had to make long deferred repairs or repiaeements, new method of roof laying was developed which quickly proved itself to be time-saver, money-saver and a property-saver.
 This method was simply to lay the new roof over the old without going to the trouble and expense to tear away the old shingles. :, At first the process seemed rather radical, in that the usual procedure had always been to rip of the old roof before installing the new. That was the old method, and if you have ever experienced it in the case of your own homo, I am sure you will not forget the experiences.
 "The wreckers mounted up to your roof, tools in hand, and began tearing away the shingles. They fell over the caves of the house onto the shrubbery or lawn, and a fine shower of dust came drifting down into your attic and upper rooms, covering yeur furnish ings and turning your temper--and more likely that of your wife-upside down. And then, possibly flor nature 7 is mighty perverse that way--a rainstorm came up just at the wrong moment and caught you with your roof of.
 When things were finally finished up, you got two bills for the job; one for removing the old roof and one for putting on the new.
 This annoyance and risk and ex- pense, it has been found by actual tests, can be avoided by simply laying as- bestos shingles right over the old roof, fastening them with nails driven through the old shingles into the fur ring strips. Whether it is rag felt, or wooden, or asphalt roof, the new abestos shingles can be laid over it with considerably less expense. The result will be better than if the first roof covering were taken off, because the old shingle roofs form splendid insulation for house and serve to make 1t cooler in summer and warmer in winter. In almost all cases the additional weight of the absestos shingles can be support ed on the roof without extra bracing. Even if the roof timbers are old and weak and some bracing has to be in stalled, the expense, comparatively, is negligible. And when the asbestos shingles are nailed securely on, the Old roofing is held firmly in place and you are done with your roof troubles for all time.'

MARIE LOUISE
 NEWEST CANDY
Sumptuous Shop To Open On Third Avenue Next
 Monday

The spirit of Marie Louise and that lavish French period when she became the second wife of Napoleon, then at the height of his magnificent power, breathes from candy shop bearing her name, at 1907 Third avenue, which will be formally opened Monday.
 Reminiscent of the early Nineteenth century, one can well imagine that amidst the richness of it's decorations, the colorful lights and pulsing activity, the dainty French Empress might easily find herself at home
 The feature of this shop will be in the sale of Marie Louise candies, a new Birmingham product, which, because of their quality, are expected to take a foremost position in the ranks of con- fectionery. Later, the operating com- pany plans to enlarge its field with the ultimate desire of branch stores and a distribution of the candy throughout the south.
 Thi anticipation of future expansion has caused minute confederation of the appointments for the Third avenue nucleus. The result is an artistic beauty seldom attained.
 A color scheme of beige and orange has been tastefully carried cut under the direction of J. Louis Schillinger. Designs on the walls lending a break in the paneled expanses of beige are the work of Miss Louise Cone. The lighting fixtures were supervised by Miss Alice Schaefer.
 While making the production of Marie Louise candies of prime import in the business, the shop will also operate a soft drink parlor in connection, making a speciality of the popular light
