AUTOMOBILE. DEALERS
.PLANN|N G ANNUAL SHOW
IN CONNECTION WITH
FIRST LIVESTOCK SHOW

Local automobile dealers are making
preparations to hold big show some
time after the first OF the year, and
II has been suggested THAI the show
be held at the same time that the
Southern Oklahoma Livestock asso-
citation is holding their first annual
event March .. 10, IL and IL.
1t Is argued that there will be
great crowd OF prominent farmers and
stock breeders In Ardmore on those
dates to attend the livestock show. and
both could be- held in perfect harmony
as there would be nothing doing at
the livestock show at night. and night
Is the time when an automobile show
is best patronized.
Local dealers have held several meet
lngs recently and some definite steps
will be taken in the immediate future
toward having one Of Ahe best shows
in the history of the organization.
The Ardmorc Auto Dealers have
conducted three very successful shows
In the pai;. and they have always
succeeded In breaking better than
even on their adventure. they usually
have some added feature that attracts
visitors to the night shows and makes
the affair very enjoyable event. In
all probability the automobile show will
be held at Convention Hall where
temporary structure will be erected
for show room.

POLICE A n D PRIVATE
At SEA IN THE
LAST EXPRESS ROBBERY
INVESTIGATORS WORKING on
THEORY THAT STEALING Or
$4,000 DOODLE WAS WORK OF
BOYS on THE INSIDE

Toledo, Ohio, Dec. 21.-The city de-
tectiyes working in conjunction with
investigators for the American Railway
Express company, began today to in
vestigate the possibility that the &c.,
500 robbery at the company's office
here last night was planned from the
inside.
George d. Hartman, local manager
for the express company, furnished
the police with names OF guards who
We're held DIP by six armed men with

to a truck in the rear of the store
room for shipment.
The police spent all Of last night
searching every known hangout for
crooks without making a single ar.
rest. 1t is believed the bandits took
refuge in the vicinity of Point Place,
four miles north of the city, which is
known by police to be hangout
place for safe blowers and gunner.

result, however.
The police base their belief that It
was an inside job on the fact that
something apparently went wrong with
the plans. Less than half an hour be-
fore the robbery another and larger
safe containing more than $4,000
was passed through the same door
and taken 10 the railroad station and
placed on train.
This doubtless was the one the rob
bers were after, the police point out.
The police believe last nights rob-
berry was committed by boys.
During the progress of the holdup
the handkerchief mask worn by one Of
the bandits slipped down. and disclosed
the face of youth not more than
is years old. according TO one OF the
express company guards.
Another curious phase the police
are trying TO solve Is the fact that
not n shot was fired during the pro-
cess OF the holdup of the express COM
pany and transferring the safe to one
Of two automobiles which the bandits
used in escaping.

FURNACE COMETS" CAUSE COMMENT
 IN PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh, Feb. 26-Intense blast furnace activity, combined with low temperatures, has in recent weeks given to the Pittsburgh district some of the most beautiful furnace comets it has eTar seen. But they are gradually losing their brilliancy, and with the approach of spring, scientists say, they will vanish until favorable conditions reappear next winter.
 Furnace Comets are great broad shafts of yellow light which pierce the black background of -murky sky in most spectacular manner. They flash almost without a moments mo- tice, and fade amost as quickly, only to reappear as bright, if not brighter than before. Usually there are two of them, at times rising perpendicular, but oftener cutting the sky like the beam of a Searchight.
 Scientists at the Allegheny Obser- vatory explained the lights by saying that the light from blast furnaces penetrates the atmosphere above the city to a great height, and there being caught by frost crystals send back the reflection in the form of broad bands. For years they have passed almost unnoticed until this year, when, because of the continued oper- ation of large numbers of furnaces, they becaEe much more frequent and much more beautiful.
