MUCH INTEREST IS
 SHOWN M NASH SIX
Unusual Demand Predicted For
 New Series

The arrival of the new Nash Special Six, with its attractive body styles, has been the cause of much interest among the motorists of Birmingham. Literally hundreds of prospective purchasers have visited the show rooms of Mccormack Brothers Motor company for the pur- pose of seeing the Special Six cars which have been on display for the last few days.
 The new Nash has been accorded a nationwide welcome and it is predicted that the factory will be unable to snp- ply the demand for the new models even though several large units have re- gently been added to the factory in an- ticipation of the demand for the new cars. Mccormack Brothers report that orders for both the Advanced Six series and the Special Six series are being taken daily and that deliveries are being made as rapidly as possible.
 The fact that the Nash is a proven product of unprecedented merit seems to |figure largely in the public mind. A second valuable consideration is tie ability of the local Nash distributor to render prompt and efficient service to Nash owners. The wise ,motorist has learned that it pays to consider each of the three factors which enter into his purchase and ownership of a car the manufacturer, the car itself, and the dealer who sells the car. When every one has learned through experience to consider these three factors, there will be fewer dissatisfied car owners.

BATHING GIRL STICKERS.

Somewhere, some time, motorist picked up a poster with a bathing girl on it. Probably this was an advertise ment of summer resort. He stuc.: the poster on his windshield and went his way. Somewhere, some time. he passed by nimble mind and the nimble mind saw the bathing girl sticker and had an idea. The nimble mind immediately had printed thousands of the bathing girl stickers and put them on sale wher- ever motorists passed.
 Immediately the roads of the country became processions of bathing girls that adorned the windshields and back windows of countless motor cars. Then some other nimble mind with a greater sense of humor than the first nimble mind devised another bathing girl of great corpulence, instead of the slim grace of the first bathing girl Imedi- ately all the motor cars that hereto fore had been decorated with svelte bathing girls became adorned with bath ing girls of extreme corpulence.
 The season is not yet over and if the bathing girls keep on growing in size it may be necessary to call a special session of the legislature to pass a law to forbid motorists obscuring their 'ASAOh DJ PoSIAAS SllIS III needful to see through.
 The whole bathing girl craze and its spread is typical of present7day Amer ica, where we have become dangerously susceptible to hand-me-down ideas and secondhand ingenuity. Shrewd manip- ulators of public opinion exploit the herd instinct in us. We wear popular opinions exactly as we adorn cars with bathing girls. This is the age of standardized and quantity production, and we are proudest of all of the stand ardized American. The men who start and foster popular fads, either mental or of the more concrete bathing girl type, invariably have something to gain | thereby. Thinking for oneself has become al- most lost art in America. We paste a bathing girl on our mental wind shield and let it go at that. Obscured mental windshields are in the way of becoming national menace.-The Ro- chester Herald.

WORLDS YOUNGEST NATION
But Buriat.Mongol Republic Has Tn,
 Longest Official Name

presume that scarcely one of my readers ever heard of the government under which 1 now found myself, and I am frank to admit that never heard of it before reached Peking; and yet its territories have an area twice as large as South Germany. The population, however, is only 465,000.
 Nor is it surprising that we have not heard of this government before, for it was only founded on August 1, 1923 Probably it is the youngest government in the world.
 In contrast with Peru, China, Sweden and other lands blessed with short, convenient names, the new re- public between Lake Baikal and Dalnii Vostok rejoices in the following appel lation: Buriatsko-M -Mongolskaia Sovets- kaia Sotsialisticheskaia Aytonomnaia Respublika-'Buriat-Mongol Soviet So- cialist Autonomous Republic" In or dinary conversation this is abbreviated to 'Buriatsko- -Mongolskaia Respublika." ,"
 The capital of Verhneudinsk, and the motor that drives its political machin- cry is situated in the government build ing. We went thither, ascended to the second story, and called uopn the first commissar, a Buriat named Erbanov, chairman of the Burukhan, or Buriat- ski Revolutionary Komitet.
 He was an excellent man and what ever he said was clear and plain. First of all he welcomed me to the young country whose first official he was. If he had known the day was to ar rivey he would have sent a delegat tion to meet me. He hoped I would stay until the third of December. On that day the republic would be proclaimed in the presence of the delegates of all the country soviets. He believed I would not regret remaining to witness this historic ceremony.
 Congress would be in session two weeks. The number of delegates is a hundred and fifty. The territory of the republic is divided into nine adjmak or provinces and sixty-one districts, chos- hun. Each district sends two or three representatives to the Congress. The population consists of 60 per cent Blu gether with a small number of Ukrain- ians, Jews and members of other na- tionalities.
 Commissar Erbanov pointed out to me on a large, evcellently excuted map WHcTc IHe UOuHuuTleS lle. 1He IepuU- lie borders on Lake Baikal on the west, Mongolia on the south, the far eastern district of Dalnii Vostok on the east, and Siberian proper on the north. These boundaries had been determined a short time before my visit at meeting in Chita, in the presence of the President of the Tsentralnyi 1spolnitelnyi Komi- tet Soiuza Sovetskitkh Sotsialistiches- kikh Respublik-that is, of the central executive committee of the Federation of Soviet Socialist Republic-under the direction of Comrade Serafimovich.
 The government of the BuriatMon- golian republic consists of Buriats and Russions, presumably in the same pro- portion as the population-that is, 60 per cent to 50 per cent. In general way the state is a member of that federation if republics whose central capital is Moscow and which takes or ders from the Kremln.-Sven Hedin in the Neue Freie Presse (Vienna)

CLEVELAND SIX
 4-WHEEL BRAKES
Now Optional Equipment With All New
 Models

"When the first 1925 Cleveland-S Six was introduced it was a question in the minds of Cleveland engineers whether the public wanted four-wheel brakes" states Sid Black, vice presi- dent of the company. "Now that thou sands of new models have been shipped it is a foregone conclusion that car buyers favor four-wheel brakes as prac- tically every car leaving the factory carries this equipment, even though 1t is optional at slight extra cost.
 Cleveland Six four-wheel brakes are known as the external contracting type and the front as well as the rear wheel brake drums are Interchangeable. The diameter of the brakes is 14 inches. Like the drums the bands are also external and also interchangeable.
 "EGualiZers are provided between the two front wheel brakes as well as be- tween the two rear brakes. Pressure on the foot brake pedal is carried on the front and rear wheel brakes through the means of a compensator lever or sometimes so-called equalizer bar. Two adjustments can be made on this lever and when connected up as standard, equal pressures will be delivered to the front and rear pairs of brakes. This does not mean, however, that the front wheels can be slid or locked as easily as the rear wheels, owing to the fact that in making a quick stop the weight of the car is thrown forward on to the front wheels. It will, therefore, be seen that under this adjustment the front wheels will not lock as quickly but will continue to roll, thus leav- ing the steering of the vehicle at all times in the hands of the driver. The Cleveland is sold in Birmingham by Interstate Motor company.

 1t did not seem possible to return the way we had come. The newly fallen snow was continually gliding off in .ayalanches. any one of which would have swept us away and the storm ap- peared to have double in strength. So we pushed on to the Col itself which we reached at 9 o'clock and then began to descend by way of the huge Alee Blanche glacier.
 "The blizzard prevented us at most times from seeing more than yard or so in front of us. We had, there fore, to move with the greatest care and all the more so as the fresh snow surface was treacherous and made our progress slow and tiring.
 "Itswas dark long before we reached the valley at the end of the glacier, and by the time we arrived at the ref uge hut of Visanne, in Italy, 1t was just past midnight.
 "We had not had half an hours rest all the way and the last hours of our descent along the glacier had been par

MEN GO UNRECOGNIZED
French and Belgian Premiers Walk
 London Street

There is an interesting thesis for speculation in the fact that the French and Belgian premiers were able to con duct lively discussion while walking the length of Whitehall recently, quite unrecognized by the people in that crowded street At first sight it would De said that, in Whitehall of all places, recognition would be certain. Probably every person they encountered had sene many photographs of them just pre- yiously.
 The failure to recognize them was due probably to certain limitation even in an age of unrestricted photography. The unexpected is the best incOgnito. There was a great deal of truth in the remark of the king of Hanover to the prince consort when the prince demurred to a suggestion for walk through the streets. Pooh, was twice as unpopu- lar as you are and I used to walk about without being noticed"
 Had the two premers driven slowly out of Downing street in an open car they would probably have. been recog- nized, because that would have fitted with expectation. The duke of Yelling con was always recognized because he always rode horse; had he walked it

CROSSED GLACIER IN BLIZZARD Alpine Climbers, Including Two Girls,

A dramatic account of the: recent terrible climb across the Trelatete gla- cier and the 25-hour struggle of lit tie party, including two girls, with one of the worst snowstorms that have ever swept Mount Blanc, is. told by the men who led the party to safety.

There IA of the climbers, in view of the threatening weather, decided to return. Six of us continued the climb. We were roped together in two parties.
 'The weather grew rapidly worse, and it was. in tempest of snow that we struggled up the slope, and at 8 o'clock in the morning reached the frontier ridge at height of 11,500

MATERIALS USED BY FORD MOTOR
 BOUGHT SOUTH
Many Millions Spent For
 Supplies In Southern States

When the average man thinks of the Ford Motor company, he thinks of De troit, Mich, where this company was born. What is not generally known is the wide variety of commodities used In the building of these cars and just what the production of two million cars year means to industry in general. Just what this means to the south IS strikinyly shown by the fact that during the past year, the Ford Motor company purchased in the south materials total ing over $41, ,300,0O0 while the Atlanta branch buys in Atlanta over quarter of a million dollars worth of merchan- disc annually and we presume the other southern branches are on par With this figure.
 Cotton, the staple product of the south, runs second only to steel in value live million dollars worth of woven cot 4on. and three million dollars worth of flaw and waste cotton being purchased during the period mentioned.
 Steel tops the list with figure well over twenty-three million dollars, and other contributions of the sunny south fo this monumental industry range from dulphuric acid to sponges and fire brick.
 These figures take into consideration only materials purchased by the Ford Motor company and does not include raw materials purchased by the com. bany's suppliers to be fabricated and but into assemblies prior to shipping Co the Ford Motor company.
 Below is given an itemized list of the expenditures for 1923 in the south

SHOOTS FIANCE's FATHER.
French Girl. IA, Was Provoked Be cause He Objected to the Marriage.

A girl of 14 is alleged to have shot and killed a man named Chinon at Privas, in the Ardeche department, France, recently, because he refused to allow his boy, 15 years old, to marry her.
 The girls name was Marie Rossignol, and despite her youth she had become engaged to the boy, Louis Chinon. She wished to marry him, but could not do so unless the boys father asked for a legal dispensation on account of their youth. M. Chinon. however, refused and said that both would have to wait until they were old enough to know their own minds.
 When NJ. Chinon was walking in his garden the young girl suddenly ap- peared from behind the shrubbery and levelIing a revolver is alleged to have fired two shots. Mir. Chinon fell dead, one of the bullets having entered his head,
