The manufacture and sale of bleached
-four is prohibited now in Pennsylvania.
Millers claim this is discrimination in
favor of the millers in States where Its
manufacture is permitted.
Bleached flour is sold principaIlv in
the southern states. Where the bleach
ing process is used, ,millers are enabled
to use an inferior grade of grain In the
manufacture of -four.
A draft of the bill which Representa-
tive Franklin proposes introducing has
been submitted to the Federal food com.
mission. number OF milling concerns
In Pennsylvania are said to favor the
passage OF the measure.
Representative Duncan Sinclair. OF
Fayette, plans to introduce a bill to

ENDS ON ISLAND
Police Say Camden Man
Hid From Wife Off
Florida Coast
BROUGHT BACK HOME
Alleged Runaways Family
Compelled to Sell Furni-
ture for Food
BROUGHT BACK HOME

An alleged wife-deserter who had
travelled more than 1000 miles TO avoid
arrest today waR brought back to Cam
den from an island off the coast OF
Florida. He was held to await trial in
the Camden County courts.
He is George f. Stubbs. forty-six
years old. formerly Cf Woodlynne. n.
J. The long trip in search OF the man
was accomplished by Detective Laur-
ence Doran. head of the Camden County
Bureau. Stubbs is said to have eft his
wife and children more than year ago.
In holding the man for trial, Prosecu-
tor Wolverton said:
mo matter where men like this go
or how far they travel, we will bring
them back to suffer the consequences
of their actions. This particularly ap-
plies TO those who desert their children
and leave the little ones unprotected or
without means of support"
Sent Money Home Through Relative
According TO Detective Doran, Stubbs,
after leaving his home at Woodlynne,
sent his wife small remittances from
time to time. These were originally
mailed TO relative, who relayed them
to the wife, Doran said.
After a time the money stopped com
ing Stubbs never wrote to his family.
Mrs. Stubbs for a time did sewing. but
her income was inadequate to meet the
home requirements. and one piece after
another OF her furniture was sold. The
last thing to go was the sewing ma
chine, and thus her only means of earn
ing a living vanished.
When found by Overseers of the Poor
Mrs. Stubbs was living in one small
room with her three children, girl
aged six years, and two boys, one FIVE
years old and the other nineteen months
Traced to Deserted Island
Doran's capture of Stubbs was accom-.
plished under difficulties He trailed tn,
man from place TO place until fnall,
he learned that Stubbs was living in 3
hut on deserted island of the
Florida coast. There are hundreds o.
small islands in the waters there and
no one of the fshtImen who occup,
them seemed to know on which islant
Stubbs was Living.
Doran finally came across one oil,
man who remembered Stubbs. He sait
he had come TO the mainland some TIM
before travelling in an automobile
Doran says Stubs travelled all the wa,
| TO Florida in that machine
The fisherman finally agreed TO TAX
the detective to the island Of Cattiva OIL
which he said Stubbs was living. tn,

Stubs hut was made in a motorboat
! Nine hours were consumed in travelinl
from one island to the other.

Compulsory labor for rich and poor
alike as a method of instilling strong
Americanism into every one was an

pastor. He also urged the exclusion
from public office of all who have not

"A flood of sentimental slush seek

This test, it is believed, has estab- lished new standards of testing and refinement of details to make a car practically perfect mechanically be- fore it goes 10 an owner.
 The history of the development, building and testing of Overland 4 which introduces the new three point spring suspension, covers a period of years. This car is the product of a lecade of progressiveS engineering achievement toward the ideal light weight car: of a years intensive en- slneering experiment and two years actual demonstration and test in all kinds of weather and all sorts of roads
 During the two years of test, Over land was given 250,000 miles oi actual road demonstration. That's ten times around the world before a single car went on the market.
 These tests were of great value to the engineering and the production departments of the Willys Overland company, and, finally, to the man whc

testing ground can be found than in the Rocky mountains.
 Over these roads, Overland was pushed to the utmost. Days were spent in mud, in streams, twisting through rocky defiles, scaling boulder sprinlsled hill and mountain sides- The drivers were amazed night after night with their freedom from fatigue because of the easy riding of the cars due to the wonderful three-point spring suspen- sion. The cars were found in perfect mechanical condition after each exam ination by the engineers. The three point springs had saved the cars, had 1 given a new ease and comfort to the drivers; the balanced light construc ton had conquered the worst of the roads; the power of the car itself had pulled it out of road situations in | which horses were found hoplessly mired and dozens of automobiles wert passed, sunk deep and immovable. 1 While these tests were going on other tests were being made in the
 country within radius of 300 miles oi
 the factory
 l The new three-point suspension springs had done everything the en-
 gineers had hoped for in saving the
 car and introducing an almost uncan-
 ny ease of driving; the all-steel con.
 struction of the car gave fl rugged

 in these tests that the Willys- Over. land company developed the phras,

GOOD BRAKES WILL HELP POLICE
 TO STOP AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS

sity of knowing his brakes-good
 brakes in an emergency oftentimes
 mean the difference between life and
 death, and it is a big mistake for car
 owners to neglect having their brakes
 inspected in order to be sure that the
 brakes can be depended upon in case
 of a serious emergency. The brake lining is often times an important part
 of the brakes to which too little at- tention is given by local car owners, inasmuch as no brakes will work prop erly without the best brake lining available.
