SHOOTING STARS.

Opinions.

Opinions.
There is no fear of loneliness,
Whatever be your views.
Opinions you may still express
AS freely as you choose.
If you declare the world is fiat
And ghosts are wandering free,
You'll have the Joy of knowing that
Somebody will agree.
If you assert that Science shows
Irreverent lack of sense,
Or that the prophets may disclose
Discrepancies immense,
AS well accepted views you scorn
Abashed you need not be;
Expectant of a state forlorn,
Somebody will agree.
Since no one can be always right
With megaphone or pen,
It's lucky that each error slight
Is\shared by other men.
And each may plainly speak his mind
And strive new light to see.
Our faults companionship will find,
Somebody will agree.

MANY CHANGES
 ON AUTO ROW ] IN FEW YEARS
Races And Contests Once Popular Seen No
 More

One only needs to look backward T little more than a dozen years to real ize how young and yet how lusty IS the automobile industry in Birmlng. ham. In 1911, when Blaine and Ted Brownell opened up in Birmingham first Ford agency, there were only three or four dealers, and when a car was sold it was such an event that the name of the purchaser was published in large type in the newspapers. In fact, in that year only five Ford cars less than a year old were being oper- ated in Birmingham. And now-fully 15,OOO flivvers fit around Birmingham, that most ubiquitous motor car that is always in front of you no matter what kind of an automobile you drive. how fast or how slow you go. There is only one Ford dealer still handling Fords who was handling them back in those days, and that is J. l.. Ross of Eufaula, Ala.
 Business began to pick up when the Brownell lads got in the gaseous game, and from February, 1911, to July. 19l4. these busy boys had established D sub agents in the state of Alabama.
 Back fin those halcyon days they took more interest in automobile contests To- cally--hill climbs, track races, etc. being quite the vogue. In the spring of 1911 someone promoted a hill-climbing contest up the road to Oxmoor on Shaes mountain. This was a very stiff climb and the road was in bad repair. Brownell entered a Ford chassis with a bucket seat on the gasoline tank and this car ran second to the Great South f,,l hnip httil i I Birmingham. Other competitors were Buick Hudson, Chalmers and a White Steamer. Charley Armstrong. now q 'Woco- Pepper" drove his F. M. r. up the hill with four passengers to prove that a loaded car really could pull up the grade. In the spring of 1912 man named Barger promoted an aeroplane meet and automobile race at the fair grounds. He had a dozen planes, and during the meet had several crashes, but no fatalities. Much interest was worked up in the automobile races, and the Brownell boys requested the Ford Motor Company to furnish special gears for their entry. This was refused, so c. W. Richardson designed a special set of rear axle gears ard had them made by W. T. Sanborn & Co.,, of loco motive drive rod steel. A bucket seat and a large gasoline tank were fitted on a Ford roadster chassis. X magneto and a water pump were also installed, ss was also an enormous carbure:or. The walls were ported as il racing motorcycles. The bicycle chain driving the magneto would jump off and the ignition would have to be timed all over again. The motor would not fire un- less the car was doing as much as 30 miles an hour. In spite of these handi- caps, however, this Ford was put around the track in less than 60 seconds. On the first day of the race the Ford en-

 Test

Two hundred and twenty-nine Over land cars of all types-touring cars, coupes, coupe-sedans, sedans and Spad delivery cars-with motors running in- terruptedly during the week of Sep tember 29-October 6, with ignition switches, spedeometers and gasoline tanks tightly sealed and padlocked. GOV. cred. the astounding total of 7,2O6 miles, a distance equal to more than 2O times around the globe, in 2S,547 hours of actual running time. for an average of 27.2s miles per gallon. This is the announcement made by willys.Overland of it's most remark able economy endurance run, staged by its dealer organization.
 Economy runs are not a novelty in the automobile industry. In fact, 1t has become quite the usual thing for an automobile dealer or manufacturer who wishes to stress this feature of his product to stage a continuous cross- country tour, or to attempt seven day run without interruption. But in variably such demonstrations have been made with just one car, usually special ly prepared for the occasion, and in restricted localities.
 Willys- -Overland's feat covered the map of the United States. It required the cooperation. and active participa- tion of practically its entire dealer group. It required Overland cars to cope with all types of roads, weather conditions and drivers. It is estimated that in the course of the weeks test more than 1000 different drivers were at the whels of the cars taking part in the demonstration. In Trinidad, l Colo, the car was placed at the dis posal of lay drivers who were privi- leged to take it to any. point within a radius of 100 miles. Coal camps, the Raton pass, the most difficult roads in the New Mexican Rockies were tra- versed by this car, the only condition imposed on the driver being that he keep the engine running at all times. As Miles Per Gallon Best Score Of the 229 entries in the economy endurance run, veery car but one achieved its objective. Some dealers staged 75-hour tests, others travelled continuously for 100, and still others were driven as far as 1S6 hours in one 1 continuous grind. In Wilkes-Barre the dealer was so well pleased with the performance of his car at the end of his first 100 hours that he immediately started off on another jaunt of similar duration. The one exception was the Allentown, Pa, entry, this car being damaged in it's ninety-fifth hour of running by a head-on collision on the country roads during a heavy fog.
 The best individual performance of the nationwide demonstration was scored by the Bozzani Motors company. Los Angeles, Cal, who averaged 4S miles per gallon over a 2,46S-mile stretch in 100 hours. It was this same organization which last spring again won the Los Angeles-Cam Curry Yosemite economy run with remark l able scores by its two Overland entries.

 Buick racer, the Great Southern 30, two or three others and the home made Ford of the Brownell outfit. Barr, with his Stutz. made the first 30 miles in less than 20 minutes, Norman's Buick, which had tremendous speed, had some tire trouble at the start and kept burning off tires every few miles in his wild efforts to catch the Stutz. Around hte 30-miIe lap the Stutz developed trouble due to the mechanic having accidentally kicked off the ignition wire. Mir. Rich
