i "Building conditions ire peculiar te

means.
the Oetcrnment a properties at Mtifcle
Sheals, Ala., was completed today and
arrangements made bv Its soenxnrs, the
Alabama Power Company, for imme

The offer was tendered by Themas

with its submission the total number of
proposals rccehed by the Government
for its war-acquired properties In Ala
bama was brought te four. The new
offer is expected te be transmitted seen
by Secretary Weeks te Congress, which

The Alabama Power Company pro

The President's voice
heard by the nation
On Armistice Day, President Harding talked te a
crowd gathered at the grave of the Unknown. Soldier,
in the National Cemetery at Arlington. His voice
was heard simultaneously by vast throngs in New
Yerk, Chicago and San Francisce.
In this modern miracle that seemed te knit our
nation into one great family, Exide Batteries played
an important part; for Exides were relied upon te
provide current for the amplifiers that magnified the
President's voice. Exides also supplied the powerte
send the words ever the telephone wires, just as
when you telephone it is an Exide Battery that
carries your voice.
The development of the storage battery and its
place in peace and war has been little else than a
record of the Exide. The original starting and
lighting battery for automobiles was an Exide.
The Exide, made for your car today, has built into
it all the lessens of the past.
The result is a ruggedly efficient battery that you
can depend upon te last a very long time. This
means even something mere te you than the maxi
mum comfort in metering; it means dollars and
cents economy.
