It's use was experimental. Now 1t is uniformly

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by foreigners to be tns
most beautiful capital Ia the world
One thing for which the See America First
crusaders are working Is to get the idea out OF
the minds of Americans that all sightseeing
must needs be done In the summer vacation
season. There are many classes OF people,
take for instance, the farmers,--who find 1t al
most impossible to leave home in midsummer,
but who could very readily take a trip In the
autumn or winter Efforts are being made to
point out to these people that there is just as
much which can be sten to the best advantage
in winter as there is IN the category OF summer
show places. Indeed, 1t is only at such times
when 1t Is chilly or gnowing in the north and
west that ore may enjoy maximum comfort In
ern California,--all of them districts worthy to
vie with anything in southern France and Italy.
The broad policy of the See America First
movement calls upon It's devotees to not only In
duce people to give New World scenery the pref
erence (and Canada is, of course, tncluded), but
also to do everything In their power to make
travelling In America comfortable and to re-
duce the cost Indeed, the claim that one may
travel more cheaply in Europe than In the
United States is one of the arguments invariably
advanced by people who argue for foreign travel
However, the greatest need OF American tourist
regions is more good hotels,-not necessarily
high-priced fashionable hotels, but good, clean,
neatlyHept hostelries where the traveller who ls
not fnulttmiionaire may obtain wholesome,
well-cooked food and comfortable bed at
price that is not two three times what HE
earnings would be for the days labor II ne
were back home. There has been great i'm.
provem@nt in this direction in late years. but
there IS plenty of room for further betterment
Another need is lines of reasonable priced pub.
lie coaches traversing regions not traversed by
the railroads and which in many instances are
now closed book to people who cannot afford
the luxury of an automobile. Coaches such as
are operated in Yellowstone Park and on Gettys-
burg battlefield might well be introduced in
other scenic or histocic districts.

Gotch as Au,o
 Salesman
Leaves the Wrestling Mat to Go
 Into Business Life

Not every automobile manufacturer can claim a worlds champion athlete for a dealer. In fact, 1t is possible that the Studebaker Corporation Of Detroit stands unique in this respect.
 "The Gotch & Saul Auto Co., is the legend adorning a sign over a fine new building, built for the purpose, in Humboldt, Ia. The Gotch men, tioned is none other than the wrest- ling champion of the world.
 With no more foreign Goliaths to down to be a sedate business men. In addition to his farming interests he has, with the proceeds of his match with Hackenschmidt, erected a gar age and started work as an automO- bile salesman.
 In selecting the line which he is handling, Gotch put various cars through all sorts of tests. He cross examined friends who owned cars, re- garding their experiences. Then he closed his contract for the EMF "30'' and the Flanders "2O'' line.
 I'm going to give my customers more for their dollar than any of my rivals can," said he. ''That system always worked with me when I was wrestling and 1t made me successful. and, if I don't get some more right soon, I'm going to Detroit and put a toe hold on the man who's in charge of that shipping department. He's responsible right now for all the trou- bles I've got.''

Nine Jurors Are
 Expected Now in MCNamara Trial
Especial from United Press.)


 Los Angeles. Nov. 9--With Brewster c. Kenyon, a millionaire oil operator, passed for cause by both sides and the State about ready to accept J. B. Sexton, very wealthy orange grow CT who had previously been passed by the defense, the prospects were that, when the McNamara case was con- tinued today nine seats in the jury box would be filled within the week, and a second exercising of peremptory challenges would be begun. The de- fense still has 15 peremptories and the State eight.
 Kenyon is almost certain to remain permanently. He is. an educated man. former major in the Spanish war and plainly impartial. He told Dar- row he had no great opinion of Gen. eral Otis nor was he impressed with his worth as a citizen, and he told the State his prejudice against Otis would not make him biased against the States case.
 Sexton is also a very prominent citizen but the State is a trifie afraid of him, because, he says, he would not convict on circumstantial evidence unless it were absolute.
 The case has settled into routine and is expected to be monotonous un- til the box is again filled. Darrow and his associates are preparing afff- davits for a change of judge, but are not expected to submit them to the court before the middle of next week.

An Eskimo's DweIIina.

We do not look for any great amount of inventive genius among the Eski- mos. but for years they have employed a rather complete respirator. used in the preparation and taking of vapor bath, as a means of protection from the dense smoke. This Eskimo respi- rator is little basket woven of twist ed strands of fine grass. 1t is placed with it's shallow side against the mouth, and q wooden peg. which arises from the center of the basket, is held between the teeth. For this purpose water is evaporated over 8 big fire in very low hut. which is tightly closed to keep in the heat. In this stifling atmosphere the employ ment of respirator is absolutely nec- essary.-London Globe.

Morgan as a Mathematician.

J. F. Morgan was almost bred 8 mathematician. While at Gottingen Morgan specialized in mathematics. and with the professor of mathemat- ics he would spend long hours at prob lems. Some years ago a number of New Workers who had been at the Gottingen university together held a dinner and invited their old professor of mathematics, who happened to be visiting this country. to be present. The German stood his ground-he gave them his own idea. Looking at MT. Morgan, he said that he was in- deed very glad his old pupil had suc- ceeded so well as banker. But l regret" he went on, that you did not remain at the university. Had you stayed with me you would have been my assistant as long as l lived, and unquestionably at my death you would have been appointed professor of mathematics ip my place."-Metropol- ttan Magazine.

SHERIFF ABRI0lA BAGS
 HIS GAME IN MAN HUNT

Deputy Sheriff Abriola had a busy man hunt last night and early this morning when Frank Carstado, who was under bonds of $500 for his ap- pearance in the Common Pleas court, took French leave of his custodian at the sheriff.s house, last evening, and kept in hiding for five hours. He was finally located in hiding with friends in Madison avenue, and re- arrested by the sheriff and turned over to the police.
 Carstado's bondsman surrendered him yesterday when Sheriff Abriola took him into custody. Abriola was not ready to take the man to jail last evening, for he had not received com mitment papers. So he took Car stado, whom he had known before, to the Abriola home in North Washing ton avenue. Here the prisoner made his escape
