Not III. Death Warrant.

A police magistrate in Paris had q
queer experience not long ago which
began with an interview with an hys-
terical woman. She rushed into his
Office, past the attendant and, inter-
rupting a conversation, threw crum-
pied letter on the officers desk and
with pathetic gesture walled: "Save
him! Save him.
The official thought he had an in
sane person before him, but picked up
the paper, which looked like a letter.
It began in letters larger than the
body of the document: "You must die!
Nothing viii save you! You must der
He has always been a good man,
and the little we owe we can pay at
any time" the woman said between
sobs, "and now there Is conspiracy
against him."
While she was protesting the magis-
trate read the letter and, handing it
back, said: go home to your family

The woman then told the magistrate
she could not read. that neighbor
had read for her. and so many people
were being killed. and she was SO
happy.

"The manufacturer who has par
ticularly desirable product is repaid
many times the cost of the exhibit by
having his line shown to the desirable
public. such as are met every year
at the shows As an educational fac
tor. the public can in one week learn
of the new features, designs and quail
ifications of the various makes which
would otherwise take months, and then
the conlparison would not be fresh in
their minds as is the case where the
cars are placed so that comparisons
are easy.
From the manufacturers point OF
view the shows are valuable in Just as
great proportion as the merit of the
product is greater than that of COM
peitors-for the public is quick TO seek
out those cars of worth and the crowds
that surround some of the booths at

MIR. NORRIS ON
CADILLAC SPARK PLUG

Thomas E. Morris. Jr.. of the Cadil-
lac agency here. said yesterday that
one of the most ingenious features Of
the new Cadillac cars was the applca-
tion of a ring governor which operates
In connection with the spark plug
serving adequately In that important
capacity.
Mr. Morris said:
For years efforts have been made
by ignition experts to devise a mech
anism which would relieve the motor
ear driver of the necessity of constant
attention to the spark lever. Ordi
narily. IL the driver is to get the max
imum results from his engine he must
be constantly shifting the spark lever
to meet varying conditions of travel
speed. hill climb, heavy roads. etc.
The problem has been solved in the
new Cadillac by very ingenious ap-
plication of the ring governor. Its ac-
tion is such that as the speed of the
engine increases. the spark Is auto
matica1ly advanced and is automati-
carry retarded as the engine speed de-
creases. 1t automatically prevents the
damage which may be caused by either
too much or insufficient spark ad-
vance. The driver can set his spark
lever when he starts out and then for
get It."

the lower limbs bruised.
Railway authorities have been COM

crew called the police and the woman
was removed to the Nemeth undertake

resided in this city since then. No
arrangements for the funeral have
been made.
