SOUTHERN HEIGHTS
Continued from page y

kOU4lblIlutu IIONl lJdSS
If you will notice the homes
along the ferry road we think you
will find they compare fuyOrably
with any place ON the island and
we have one home that we believe
has had more money spent on it
just for beautifying. than any
home OH the islands. Beautiful
Flower Acres owned by Mrs. Lara
is one Of the most beautiful places
on the island and is one that and
community would be proud of.
About one mile south Of Flower
Acres is our noted dahIia farm,
owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Sheffield.
There were over three hundred
varieties Of dahliaS grown on this
farm last year. More than four
acres being planted to these beau
tiful flowers. This industry has
even more than a national rcputa-
ton and in the east they have
found the maple leaf dahlia, che
of the many kinds Mr.. and Mrs.
Sheffield have propogared to be a
very beautiful and satisfactory
flower. or course that is only one
Of the many kinds they sell in the
east, but It's colormg is especially
good there. You see the soil is
not very poor where You can grow
dahlias in such profuSion and such
beautiful ones, to say nothing of
the bulbs that are shipped to so
many points. This place is at
least two weeks ahead Of any
place north of it, even quite close
to it. Mr. and Mrs. Sheffield and
their splendid enterprise are
too well known on the island to
need many words, but just rcmem-
Der that their industry is located
on South Heights.
We cannot mention every home
every place all along the south
ferry road has some pleasing fea-
ture and there is quite as good
ground as you will find anywhere.
The trouble in most cases is not
the ground but the people. Just
blowing and planting does not
solve the problem. There should
be a reasonable understanding Of
soils and fertilization and their
cultivation, and then more cult
walton. and | assure you, you can
grow anything that will grow in
this climate. We raise citrons
every year and why won't other
melons of carly kinds do just as
well? We intend to try them any
way. We always raise large va
riety of vegetables and our garden
is always fire, and we are one of
the highest places on the island. |
All around us all kinds of good |
things are growing. Just think
Of large red luscious strawberries |
at Thanksgiving time. You re
member we had them last Novem-
Der.
If you like flowers, as well as
good garden, just keep an eye on
the new place at the corner of the
Shawnee Magnolia Beach road, |
owned by Oscar johnson. Less
than two years since the first seed |
of any kind was Sown. and that |
was such a beauty spot all sum
mer and until latd fall. Good
ground? No better anywhere en-
the islands. And so you will
find it all around.
Look at Mr.. Flowers fine young
cherry orchard and you should
see the fine potatoes and other
Mr.. Flowers raises.
Take a look at the orchards
owned by Mr. Krogh and Mr..
Comstock. These places join and
both are in the chicken business
md doing fine. Building, building

GO-zIP STATIONS
 BEAUTY SPOTS
Eyesores Transformed Into Slightly Places
 Says Johnston

Popularizing the gasoline filling sta. tion---transforming it from a grimy, unsightly community "eyesore," into a beauty spot and asset few years ago was considered almost an impossibility.
 Today this principle has been ex. emplified by the numerous "Go-Zip'' filling station of the General Oil cor. poration, according to it's president, J. Gregory Johnston.
 Mir, Johnston, moreover, points with bride to the record of the General Oil corporation in the past, in establish ing filling stations throughout the city of Birmingham, and having obtained the approval of the property owners adjacent to them.
 People nowdays are coming to real ize that the gas station is the essential as the drug store, the grocery and the butcher shop" MT. Johnston stated. sYet the people who own or reside in a section adjacent to a gas station site usually are extremely suspicious and apprehensive lest the new enter prise mar their property or develop into a nuisance.
 lThey have every reason to be ap- prehensive, because unfortunately many gasoline stations as a rule do not con sider that attractiveness and neatness counts. The average gas station opera tor has merely established his plant and equipment, painted the building a color which, although attracting the eye of the motorist, is in complete discord with the neighborhood sur roundings, and then plastered the prop erty with advertising labels.
 By an act of the legislature, the people have a means of protecting themselves against offensive filling sta tions. This act gives the city govern ment the right to regulate places where gasoline is stored.
 T can recall many instances where building hcnses for filings stations have been revoked, technically on the grounds that it was a menace to the public to store gas at the particular site. But this was not the real reason the city commission acted. The underly- ing motive was that the people residing in the neighborhood were skeptical and believed the new structure ultimately would result in depreciation of their property.
 We believe that the filling station should be neat and clean that it should be standardized and the exterior should be attractive and in complete harmony with the surrounding neighborhoed. Au- tomobile drivers themselves are pleased in driving into such a station where the floors and paving are free from dust, oil and pungent odors, and are far more inclined to patronized such place. Neighbors do not object to filling stations when they are artis- tically constructed, and operated in an efficient, orderly manner.
 'This company will always consider the public in erecting filling stations. as it has in the past, and welcomes earnest suggestions from neighbors as to making their plants an asset to the community"

MOTOR MEN
 | MEET IN SELMA
Automotive Legislation To Receive First
 Consideration

Legislative matters pertaining to the automotive trades of Alabama will have primary consideration at the regular midsummer meeting of the Alabama Automotive Trades Association to be held in Selma, July 21 and p, accord ing to W. B. (Red) Smith, of Bir- mingham, chairman of the associations legislative committee. Among the mat ters to be discussed and acted upon by the body is that of the enforcement of the states certificate of title law which has met with unusually favorable re- sponse from the automobile men where ever enforced.
 The Alabama Autom6tive Trades As sociation during the last two years has been particularly active in legislative matters and has accomplished a great deal in the interest of the individual car owner, according to Mir. Smith. Dur ing the last session of the legislature, the bodys legislative committee was in constant touch with the legislation af- fecting the automobile owners and deal CTS and was influential in securing fa- vorable legislation and in blocking un- favorable legislation. Through an edu- cational campaign the automobile men are attempting to impress upon the vot- CTS of the state the importance of their industry and the standards of practice which their members are attempting to put into force.
 The midsummer meeting in Selma will be featured by the attendance of national figures in the automobile world and by an address by Congress man Lister Hill of Montgomery, who was former attorney for the association and has been very active in Congress on favorable automobile legislation The program committee, under the chairmanship of Jerry Siegel, of Selma is working out a series of interesting and instructive addresses, discussions and exhibits and promises an unusual mating when thn dalppatna assemble.

Dear Sir:

Dear Sir:
 My car runs fine when it is pulling hard and has lots of power, but misses when running along on the level or when the engine is not laboring. I have had the carburetor off but could not remedy this trouble.
 I have not been able to run a wire all the way through the slow speed jet. I can run a wire the greater part of the way, but not so that can see it at the air intake jet Cor idling adjustment). One cylinder has weak compression but I believe if this is the trouble, it would cause loss of power.-E. c. M.
 The carburetor jets are so very small you hardly can get wire through them, besides there is % need to, for if you will look through Ene jet you can tell whether or not it is clear. The mis- firing may be caused by fouling of one or more plugs, bad cable insulation, bad distributor contact, cracked porcelain, valve that is not properly seating or second gear, but in low and reverse it seems to work all right.-G. P.
 The clutch bearings are undoubtedly bad air leak in the cylinder head.

WOCO FORD OIL
 KILLS CHATTER
Famous WOffOrd Product Has Many Enthusias-
 tic Boosters

The so-called "chatter" or "shimmy" that often shakes Ford car or truck on starting or stopping has been prac- tically eliminated in the Birmingham district by the useof Woco Chatterless Ford oil, according to Ford owners who have tried out this Wofford product. The oil was specially developed to serve the double purpose of lubricating Ford motors and at the same time eliminating the chatter" and the Woco oil has been so successful in this regard that it has won widespread popularity throughout this territory.
 Woco Chatterless Ford oil was in- troduced in the Birmingham territory by the Wofford company more than q year ago with a crankcase demonstra- tion when Ford crankcases were washed out free with Woco 'gThree O. crank case cleanser and refilled with the oil, the motorist paying only for the fresh oil. The oil has always been sold with the guarantee that it will eliminate the chatter immediately after 20 minutes of operation, or money refunded.
 Since its introduction in Birmingham the Woco Ford oil has been marketed generally throughout the four states in which the company operates and has met with remarkable success. Wher- ever sold the oil bears the full guaran- tee of the makers of Woco-Pep motor fuel.
 Numerous 'anti-chatter" motor oils have been introduced in Birmingham since Woco Chatterless Ford oil appear ed The Wofford product, however, has found a bigger market than probably any single motor oil in this territory.

Dear Sir:
 In order that we may settle an argu- ment 1 am writing you for little au- tomobile information. When does an auto use the most gas when running slow or fast and what is the most eco nomical speed ?-C. R. c. As a general thing the greater the speed the more fuel is consumed, but every car has one speed at which it is most economical. In most makes this is around 25 miles per hour. In others it is 20 and in others over 30 miles per hour. The dealer or factory will be able to tell you the most economical speed of its particular car.
 Dear Mir. oldfield:
 Last week I cleaned the carbon and ground the valves of my car after run ming it 2,900 miles. There is trouble with overheating. All connections and packing are tight and do not leak. The fan belt is o. K. and the timing is cor rect. After pull of about two or three miles up hill the red in the moto- meter goes up to the top and the radi- ator boils. l use about two quarts of water in 50 miles of running. Can you suggest remedy to overcome this con dition ?-J. J. c.
 A clean engine, correctly timed (igni- tion) with no water leaks, would over heat due to an obstruction in the cool I ing system. An imperative pump should be suspected also check the radi- ator bottom tank for sediment
 Dear Sir:
 There is a valve tap or knock in my car. The dealer adjusted the valves, but it did not help matters. I took my car to three different repair men. They examined the valve clearance, wrist pins, main and connecting rod bearings, pis- tons, timing, chain, push rods and cam shaft. The tap appears the loudest when racing little with advanced spark. It cannot be heard so much when the car is in motion. Please tell me what to do.-A. H.
 First let me say that the noise is harmless. I consider it such a slight
 matter as a valve skipping against tn

WILLYSOVERLAND
 SALES HOLD UP
June Proves To Be Big Month In The
 City

The demand for Willys- Knight and Overland cars continues in a most sat isfactory manner, according to Tom Turrentine, sales-manager for Willys- Knight Overland company at 215 Twenty-first street, south.
 During the month of May the Bir- mingham organization sold more cars than did the Atlanta bunch and there by won a hefty pot, much praise and congratulations, and a good dinner at Roebuck club.
 The defeat of Atlanta was so decisive that the Windy City outfit declined to make up a pot for the month of June.
 The month of June, while not 50 pro- ductive of sales as was May, has been very favorable month and sales have held up surprisingly well.

 Mir. Oldfield:
 Why does the clutch grind when it is running idle? When it is pulling in any gear I do not hear it at all. Why does my car have no power after put ting in new rings and taking up the bearings? How high should a valve lift in the cylinder head and how much clearance between the valve stem and the push rod when the valve is closed? My car seems to be very slow in the pickup and will not pull in high or worn or the clutch is running out of alignment. The unit must be disman- tied to get at the exact part causing this trouble.
 The fact that new piston rings alone were installed does not insure full pow CT. If the cylinders are out of round, scored, or worn too large in the ring travel, the new rings will not help a great deal. Power losses are generally due to leaky valves, poor carburetor ad- sjustment, improper ignition timing.
