When one takes note of the beau-
tiful new model cars which are of-
fered for sales and hears the prices
quoted, he realizes that the day has
long since passed when an auto-
mobile was considerea a luxury.
Cars can be bought for a few hun-
dred dollars nowadays which would
have cost thousands of dollars a
few yeans ago. If they could have
been purchased at all. Automobile
manufacturers have continually im-
proved their product and, too, they
have become convinced that the best
way to keep their businesses at the
forefront is to give the customer
a lot for his money. This, it would
seem all manufacturers are doing.
People with small incomes now are
able to own and ride in care such as
onl ythe rich could enjoy a few
years back.

SAARBRUECKEN, Saar Basin
Territory. Jan. 12.—Jewish resi-
dents of the Saar territory said to-
day they had been advised to go
to Germany tonight and return
next week, after the voting t -over
in tomorrows plebiscite
They said they were "advised” to
return with passports stamped
showing they had abstained fron
voting in the plebisclle.
The "advice," the'1 said, came
from the Nazis. Under the condi-
tions mentioned, they said, ther
may escape reprisals if the Saar re-
turns to Germany.
The Jewish population of th"
territory is small amounting to
only one-half and one per cent.
City Commission, after months of
expressed opinion but no definite
action, put their disapproval into
action Friday night by authorizing
the sending of a notice to the Sey-
mour-McIntosh Company that th?
company's approximately 815,00
bill rendered for repairs on the
newest city Diesel engine was flat-
ly refused.
A resolution was intaoduced into
the minutes, embodying a report
from a committee of three com-
mtssioners named to investigate the
breakdown and bill and carrying
unanimous endorsement of the
commission Fault for the 13-
months-old trouble 'was not defin-
itely placed by the resolution, but
it pointed out that at present more

— You lata ahout the Supreme

want to see an industry that’s been
ahsolutely ruined, it's the prise fight
racket
Why this champoln Max Baer has

ing but fight? Such a thing is an-
heard of. Why he even wants to
fight two men in one night Why
the promoters liked to dropped dead
so it looks like Maxie haa Just revo-
tutionized the prize fighting game,
by introducing fighting Yours,

Edward J Reill, urbane chief of
defense for Hauptmann to his trial
for the murder of the kidnaped
Lndbergh infant. said:
"We will prove that Pisch not
only collected the ransom but also
wrote the ransom notes."
Ever since his arrest the Bronx
carpenter has insisted that the *14.-
600 in ransom money found to his
poa—wion was given to him by
Fisch, his former business partner
who died obscurely in Germany
“The state produced evidence of
extortion against Hauptmann," the
defense chief said, “but so tar there
to no evidence of murder."
The burly attorney said the the
defense expects "to prove Haupt,
mann innocent of extortion as well
as murder. He merely received, un-
wittigi some ot the ransom money
from Isador Flach."

Anthony M Hauck Jr. Hunter-
don County prosecutor, said, "the
state to ready to refute any charge,
that Flach had anything to do with
this case We are prepared to break
down completely Hauptmann's ali-
bi involving Pisch as the man from
whom he obtained the ransom
money.”
State's attorneys, discounting the
Injection of Fisch to the tore of
the case, said handwriting authori-
ties have pronounced his script dis-
similar to that of the ransom mis-
sives
Hauck asserted witnesses, would
be produced to show Hauptmann
was spending the ransom money be-
fore he met Fisch Federal Agent
Frank Wilson tegirled yesterdry
that the flrat bill turned up five or
six days after the ransom was paid
April 3, 1933. and Hauck said the
state could prove that Hauptmann
and Fisch did not become acquaint-
ed until August of that year
Another Bill Found
After Agent Wilson testified that
he had no knowledge of any ran-
some money beleng located since
Hauptmann’s arrest another of the
Lindbergh bills was located in Get-

It was paid by Mervin E. Tip-

"When does life begin ” to a ques-
tion that has had much argument,
but It remains unsettled it will be
recalled that Dr. Oster, some tea
years ago, advocated the idea that
men when fifty yuan of age should
be chloroformed but that suggestion
received little support, especially
from those of that age or near it.
Leigh Mitchell Hodges, in the Phil-
adelphia Evening Bulletin, writes as
followfs, and it seems worth repro-
ducing here:
“Someone has written a book on

There is no stated age or period ot
