More rapidly than most people real ize, the automobile industry is ap- preaching a solution of the used car problem"
 One of the biggest factors in its solu- tion will be an understanding of the problem by. the automobile buying pub lie. This is because any solution means that those who buy automobiles will not get as much for their used cars as they have been accustomed to getting. They will, however, more than make this up in other ways.
 Let's get to the bottom of the sit uation.
 The only reason the used car is a problem to the automobile dealer is because he has been losing money on his used car business. That means he has been paying more for used cars than he can get for them. The public knows this as well as the dealers know it. And the public also knows that no merchant can lose money, on 50 per cent of the goods he handles and stay in business-unless he makes it up in some other way.
 Other ways have been tried-all of them-without success. The price of the new car has been inflated-and the imitation added to the used car allow ance in an attempt to kid" the owner of the used car into thinking that he was getting a high price for it. This is known in trade terms as the trad

BUICK SENSES
 PUBLIC. PULSE  Nearly One Hundred Sold By Drennen In
 May

'"The Buick Motor company, does not always have so important an im- provement as four-wheel brakes to of- fer the public every year, but it de- velops its car in such manner as to anticipate the performance of that car in the hands of the owner," said Don Drennen, vice president Drennen Motor Car company, Buick dealers in Bir- mingham.
 ''This policy by the Buick factory has been boon to Buick dealers all over the country" continued MT. Dren- nen. This is reflected in the steady and insistent demand for Buic kcaPs with their four-wheel brakes and other improvements and refinements, in Bir- mingham. Last month was a banner one in sales of Buick cars with Dren- nen motor company, we sold 9S new Buick cars and 1O5 used cars. These splendid sales make us more appreci8- tive of the confidence the public has

BLUE BIRD WINS

Two Overlands Star In Eighth Annual Econ
 Omy Test

What is probably the most auspiei- ous debut ever scored by a new Willys- Overland model is the wonderful win by the Overland Blue Bird in, the eighth annual 4O0-mile Los Angeles to-Camp CurryY Yosemite economy run on May 17 and IS.
 In addition this car won the trophy in it's own class, an Overland Model 91 won its class cup and a willys- Knight touring car captured the second Sweep- stakes prize, truly remarkable score In a gruelling test conducted sby the Automobile club of Southern Coli ,fornia.
 Using only 13M gallons of gasoline no additional oil and only 14 pints of water, the Blue Bird, piloted by Joe Bozanni, of the Bozanni Motor Car company, Los Angeles City dealers, won the sweepstakes cup with an aver. age of 29.36 miles to the gallon, com pletely out=performing the rest of the field.
 This is the third time that an Over land has won the Sweepstakes honors

Visible Oiling System Sold By Birmingham
 Concern E

The Alabama Ford Fore-Door com pany, 2019 Fourth avenue, has secured distribution for Aker Visible Pressure Oiling System for Ford motors, with Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana as territory.
 This new device has been endorsed by many of the prominent engineers of the country and is highly praised by everyone who sees it.

With the Aker system as equipment, burned out bearing caused by low oil level are eliminated in Ford engines doing away with danger of clogged pipes and damage from steep climbs.
 It is claimed that this system will pay for itself in sixty days thruogh a saving in oil alone as the motor is kept at a uniform temperature.
 It is said that a number of large industries have already equipped Ford fleets with this system and experience splendid results. Its receipts in Bir- mingham was so cordial that the first shipment was soon exhausted, but plentiful supply viii reach here this week. The price is surprisingly req sonable. Mir. Christian or White of Ford Fore-Door company will be glad to explain this new product to any one interested.

JUST WHAT IS THIS
 USED CAR PROBLEM
By PERCY CHAMBERLAIN

ing allowance''-condemn by legiti- mate manufacturer and dealer alike.
 Then service has. been impaired Through ignorance of used car values or a poor conception of their obligations to the customer, some dealers have de- liberately cut down their gross earn ings by allowing too much for the used car-and made it up by Savings" in other departments of the business. These Savings" have to do with in adequate replacement part stocks, waste full methods of handling business, cheap help, poor equipment, etc.
 Still others, seeing the large gross earning, have lost sight of the net. Selling a $2000 automobile at 20 per cent gross diseount they think they make $4OO and, therefore, can easily give $200 of it to the prospect as an allowance on the used car over and above it's actual worth-and still have $200 left. When they finally figure net on volume-which is the only way net profit can be figured-they find that the business has lost money-and they quietly pass out of the picture, leaving behind as orphans those who have been foolish enough to buy from that kind of a merchant.
 Whatever the reason which influences the individual dealer, the used car has become a problem because it is an article of merchandise which has been bought and sold at a loss.
 But the used ear is not only a prob lem for those who sell automobiles. It is problem for those who buy auto mobiles. The automobile dealer sees the problem because he keeps books. And books show losses. The owner may keep track of his expenses" in connection with operating his automo- bile-and yet not sense that much of his cost, distributed over a year, say, is because the used car is a problem.
 Because of the way used cars have been handled millions of owners of au- tomobiles pay more for their motor cars, maintenance and supplies than they should.
 The used car is not only a problem of loss in the used car sales depart ment. It permeates the entire dealer organization from the standpoint of actual money losses. Going still fur ther, it is responsible for an economic loss running into billions of dollars. It is perpetuating automobiles for which there is no reason for their manufac- ture-and keeping in business hundreds of dealers who should not be in busi- ness at all.
 It is the greatest single factor in re- tarding improvements in service. and business methods in the trade.
 Instead of being a legitimate article of merchandise, filling it's proper place in the scheme of individual transporta. tion, the used car has become a parasite living off the net profit of the dealer and eating into transportation costs of the millions who drive automobile ve- hicles.

remarkable was the total weight of the winning Overland, its poundage of 3,520 being exceeded by only eight cars in the test, thus demonstrating the abil- ,ity to carry weight as well as to op- crate economically. The Blue Birds ton mileage per gallon scored for the Sweepstakes honor position was 49.61.
 Besides winning the Sweepstakes trophy the Blue Bird also captured the honors in it's own class, PA, for cars selling at more than $651 at the fac tory, in which it scored ton mile age of 51.67.
 Willys- Knight Wins Second
 Second prize in the Sweepstakes went to another Willys-O Overland en- try--a Willys-Knight touring car, driv- en by c. E. Kirkham of the Willys- Overland Pacific company. :
 The Willys-Knight registered. 23.53 miles per gallonn, using no water and only two points of oil. It's Sweep stakes score was a ton mileage of 45.53 per gallon of gas. The outstand- ing feature of it's run, however, is it's remarkable cooling efficiency. Despite the fact that the contestants encount- cred the hottest day of the year, with the thermometer registering 1O2 de- grees through the Joaquin Valley, with the likelihood that even this mark was exceeded in the Mohave desert stretch from Palmdale to near the Tehachapi summit, not drop of water had to be added to the Willys-Knight's radiator.
 The third Overland victory was scored by Model 91.. driven by Romo- los Bonaccini, also a member of the Bozanni organiza tion, who drive his mount to a win in class 1, averaging 2S.0S road miles and 42.53 ton miles to the gallon of gasoline.

 At a recent dealers meeting, one thing in particular was brought out which emphasized the wonderful popu- larity of the Nash among buyers of high grade, six and four-cylinder cars. It was learned at this meeting that nine out of every ten prospects buying cars in the Nash price class consider the Nash before buying a car. This is pretty good indication of what the gen. eral public thinks of the Nash"

collapsed and it is understood the
Egyptian government has withdrawn
its offer of new concession to the
countess of Carnarvon, to carry on the

The very map of Ireland is record
of his life. He landed at kirkpatrick

Converting chieftain in County
Down on his own threshing floor, the
place became known as Sabbalpatrick
and Saulpatrick. In Antrim there is
Templepatrick, and also Ballylig-

Croaghpatrick. In East Meath he
founded the Abbey of Domnach-

Patrick's purgatory, in Lelnster st.

rock, and there are dozen st. Pat
rick's wells. There is Downpatrick,
where he died, and Downpatrlck head.
In other lands, too, his name is thus
preserved. He was said to have been
born at Fitzpatrick, In Dumbarton-
shire; he lived at Dalpatrick in Ian

near Inverness; he built churches at
Kirkpatrick in Kirk cudbright, at Kirk

as the Irish shamrock, used by ST.
Patrick in his demonstration of the

where trefoil grows and that herb was
a specific against their bite. But who
