DEALERS TO TALK
 ON USED CARS.
Problems To Be Discussed At Chicago Automobile Show
 This Month

One of the dealer problems to be dis eussed at the Chicago National Auto Show the latter part of this month will be the used car situation. In fact, .this situation will be given the fullest con sideration, as it is factor in the motor car business which directly concerns every dealer in the. country; and which deserves the, immediate attention of both factories and dealers.
 Various plans for overcoming the used car evil will be explained and con- sidered at the Chicago show, and the meeting for this purpose will be at- tended by dealers representing every part of the United States. The man. ufacturers are as much concerned with the used car problem as the dealers themselves, as they are directly de- pendent for their future factory output upon the way in which the situation is controlled.
 Birmingham dealers will be we'll represented at the Chicago. show, as some member from nearly every local organization will be present. They, like all other dealers, will be keehly interested in the developments concern ing a better way of handling the used Car. In speaking of this. McC Cormack Br6s.

Willard Dealer Says Battery Should
 Get Credit

..s.5s-s... = Get-Credit --S Service can claim part of the credit for the victory of the American cars over the foreign entries in recent au- tOmObile racing, claims Mir. W. E. Ewart, local Willard dealer.
 willard service was on hand to see that the Willard storage batteries in the majority of the American cars in the race gave every bit of help to the CATS. in which they were part of the racing equipmentp Mir. Ewart said.
 Tommy Miiton,s H. c. s. special was eguipped with battery ignition supplied by Willard battery as were the cars of Harry Hartz, Jimmy Murphy and Eddie Hearne.
 Frank Elliott and Cliff Durant had Willard batteries on their cars. Wade Morton drove in his Duesenberg, Will lard, equipped. =
 Last year only one car, in the race was Willard equipped, that of Jimmy Murphy, the winner. This year out of the ten cars that finished within the money seven carried Willard batteries
 The Willard company, having keen realization of the importance of service, maintained a fully equipped Willard service station at the Indianapolis Speedway for some weeks previous to the race, and on Decoration Day care fully trained men were on hand to see that each driver obtained the utmost from the Willard with which his car was, equipped.

MOTOR CAR SELECTED
 FOR TRANSFORMATION
 MACCABEE CONVENTION
Two Thousand Or, More Automobiles Expected To Make Trip In Automobile Caravans" Which
 Will Follow Fixed Schedule
 To WashngtOn
To Washington

DETROIT, Jan.; 20.--The motor car has been selected by The Maccabees, well known international fraternal benefit society, with headquarters at Detroit, as the official transportation to its convention at Washington, D. C.. in July. 1925. "Auomobile Caravans" ill which thousands of members will drive to the eonyention will i. be or ganized. The cars will follow regular caravan routes on fixed schedule, Caravan Day" will be celebrated in each city as the local delegation joins the procession. and Il Caravan Jubi- lee will be held ill Washington. Two thousand or more cars are expected to make the. trip, some. of them coming from the Pacific coast.
 We chose the motor car for our transportation because it best serves our purpose in giving the convention visitors the chance to see the, country at the least expense states A. w.. Frye. The Maccabees' supreme com mander, who originated the Caravan plan. "We believe in travel as means of education and Americaniyation, but travelling from one part of the country to another overnight in Pullman car

We found that four could travel by automobile cheaper than by rail and have more enjoy able trip. Another important consid- eration which influenced our choice, of the automobile is that the convention visitors will have their own transpor- tation facilities at Washington, all ready for the parade, sightseeing about the city, and trips to Mt. Vernon, Get tysburg, Baltimore, Atlantic City and other points of interest without the in evitable confusion and, excessive cost of securing transportation for a, large number. locally" as

 Construction work has begun on q new filling station at Twenty-sixth street and Twenty-ninth avenue. North Birmingham, and plans are under way to. build still another sta ton in Woodlawn.
 Requests to handle Go-Zip were re- ceived at the offices of the General Oil corporation during the past week from half q dobzen states and many towns in Alabama. Go-Zip distributions in Washington, D. C.. were sought by one correspondent, with many other in- Quiries in Mississippi, Georgia, Ten nessee and neighboring states.
 During the past two weeks we have enjoyed the best business since Go-Zip was placed on the market" said Mf. Johnston Saturday. 'The recent cold wave, with its attendant difficulties to many motorists ih starting their en- zines on cold mornings, sold Go-Zip as permanent motor fuel to those who had filled up their tanks with it. We have not had a case called to our at- tention where a motorist using Go-Zip, who exercised reasonable precautions, had trouble starting even on that un- usually cold day. We have even had many automobile owners take the trou- bic to cali the office and tell us that their ears moved eff without the slightest trouble, and to express to us their conviction that our claims for Go-Zip in mo way exceeded its, per

 Chains help prevent skiddins, but once the wheels become locked, they serve only as sled runners and help the sliding. The most effective insur- ance against skidding, in the opinion of Miller tire experts, is careful driv- ing at all times, but especially when preparing to turn corners and to come to stop. At those times, the car should be permitted to slow down gradually, with the gasoline flow shut off. Then when it is necessary to apply the brakes, they should be ap- piled with the clutch still engaged and all braking done in this manner until the car is almost stopped.

MANY USED CARS
Over Three Million Sold During
 Last Year


 ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19.-The aver age selling price of used automobile in 1923 was $S0sO3. Used cars sold from January 1, 1923, to December l. 1923, numbered 3.091, ,440. These fig ures were announced by the National Automobile Dealers association here today. The fourth phase of a na- e1Onal study of the used car business was completed this week. The work has covered two years time.
 A complete and detailed report of this two years. work will be made in the seventh annual convention of the N A. D. A. in Chicago at Hotel La Salle, Tuesday and Wednesday, Jan uary % and 30. This report will be a feature of the used car forum which will occupy most of the second day of the convention.
 The heavy sessthat were sustained by automobile dealers in 1921 and 1922 were, checked in 1923. Executives of the National Automobile Dealers as- sOciation are confident that the $123,- OOO.O0O loss recorded by dealers in 1922 in the sale of used automobiles was only a part, of the acIual loss. The figure quoted represents only the difference between the price which the dealers allowed for the cars taken in trade and the price at,which they later resOld the cars. The figure does not include the cost of reconditiOning, overhead, selling commission and ad- vertising expense.
 The same condition is true of 1923, in which the losses were reduced to $57 ,347 900. Adding the four items of handling-eharge mentioned. and even the losses for 1923 were still enormous. N. A. D. A. executives believe that these losses are clearly the cause of the heavy mortality in the automobile dealer ranks. ss..

PREVENT SKID BY
 CAREFUL DRIVING
Damage To Tires Can Be Re-
 duced By Caution

s During the winter months, with the ground covered so much of the time with snow and ice, the danger of skid ding in automobiles is greatly in- creased. This skidding works hard ship on tires which the motorist can minimize by careful driving.
 Whether it be on an icy pavement or under any other conditions, skid dings works quickly toward the de- struction of tires The rasping to which the tread of the tire is subject ed is very destructive, not only be- cause of the premature wear on the tread but also because of the basic trouble it starts within the casing.
 The side-sliding movement of the tire when skidding wears away enough of the tread to cause a flat spot ill the casing, which, in effect, is similar to a flat wheel" on a railway train and the net result is that every time the wheel revolves thereafter, the tire suffers jolt at that spot. This constant jOlting brings about an un- due strain OH the carcass at that point and eventually results in it's failure to give all of the service which
