Foreign Motor Cars
Finding Good Market

Mechanically, few extraordinary nov

Of motor cars, many of them foreign

The exhibitors are finding that there

and in one or two cases, exhibits actu

in order to give immediate delivery to a
customer who made up his mind to buy
and then wanted his automobile right
away. That happened only few hours
ago in the case of one machine that
cost its new purchaser $4,000. In view
of such conditions, the salon folks

by William III. Barr for

the Next Four Years Is
Requested From Harding

Ousting Of all Socialists from public
Office, adoption of the open shop prin-
cple as national policy and the en-
forcement by President Harding
of business administration were de-
manded by William H. Barr, president
of the National Founders Association,
at the organizations twenty-fourth an
nual convention, held yesterday at the
Hotel Astor.
Three hundred manufacturers from
every section of the country applauded
Mr. Barrs attack on the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, which, he asserted,
was raising a fund of millions Of dol
lars "for the purpose of definitely op-
posing the open shop movement" Res
olutions embodying the associations
attitude on labor and government ques-
tions are to be adopted at the closing
session to-day.
Ban on Socialists Urged
Referring to Socialists in office, Mr..
Barr said:
1--WE insist that the departments in
Washington shall remove the parasites
shat have infested them in recent
years, and that none but Americans
shall be placed on guard over the bust
ness OF our country.
1--WE require that Socialists shall be
eliminated from public life and from
public Office We are not merely regis
tering request; we are presenting a
demand. and we are intent on follow
ing it uD until we shall eventually have
in Washington an American admins
tration in the best sense Of the word"
Mr. Barr said the announcement that
the American Federation of Labor is
raising funds to fight the open shop
"iudicatos that the officials Of the fed
Grafton believe that the present public
support accorded the open shop move
ment is distinct menace to radical
closed shop unionism."
The charge that gigantic national
open shop movement, controlled by big
business is contemplated is absurd
and untrue" continued Mr.. Barr.
3.232 Strikes in Year
Mr. Barr pointed cut that last year
witnessed 3.232 strikes. He said: AN
analysis Of , .395 of these. or only about
80 per cert, SHOWS that 3,950,4l1
strikers lost an average OF thirtyfou

a Little Red Spy

That is quite true. People with the
habit of spying on other people, try
ine to find out what they are doing
and all about them, are disliked and
distrusted. Sometimes spying is neces-
saIy in good cause, but it is only
III such q cause, good cause, that
any one who thinks well of himself
or his friends viii ever spy.
One reason mat Sammy Jay isn't
better liked among lis neighbors in

trving to find out the business of his
lseighbors. Peter Rabbit has squite as
ruch curiosity "a any one | know,

his wsbbly little nose into places where
it has no business; he doesn't sneak
about spying.
Now, you remember that Chatterer
the Red Squirrel hal sulked nearly
ell of that fine morning, while Rusty
TIC Fox Squirrel had been hard at
work picking up and storing away the
sat hickory nuts the Merry Little
Freezes had shaken down from the
fusks which Jack Frost had opened
&c night before. And while he sulkcd
thstterer had tried to think Of some
riar by which he could get all of
those fat hickory nuts for himself.
At last an idea had popped into his
head. a dishonest idea. though that
'1dn't trouble Chatterer at all. He
would spy on Rusty and lind out where
he was storing away those fat hickory
nuts. Then, when he could do so
without danger OF being caught, he
would steal all those nuts and put
then in his own Storehouss.
OF course, Cnatterer didn't call it
stealing. He tried to make himself
lelieve that those fat hickory nuts
really belonged to him. He knew bet
tor, but he tried TO believe that He
pretended TO believe that Rusty was
the real thief. and that he, Chatterer
vas simply trying to get what right
fully belonged to him.
SO Chattercr hid in the thick top of
a hemlock tree and watched Rusty. He
Jaw him pick up a fat hickory nut and

Free Speculation
In Film Theaters
Declared a Peril
Catherine Street Tragedy
Discloses Brokers Make
Sales to Men Who Know
Nothing of the Business

Investigation into tho fire panic in
the New Catharne Street Theater. at
76 Catharne Street. in which six chill
dren were killed, disclosed yesterday
as source of danger the activity of
irresponsible theater brokers who sell
small. motion picture theaters to men
with no experience in tho business.
The"motion picture house in which
the panic occurred is said to have
changed hands three times in six
months. Barnett Weinberg and Max
Schwartz, its present owners, said they
bought it from firm Of theater brok-
ers whose names the authorities have
been unable toSfind in any directory
The latest partners in the enterprise
previously had been in the grocery
business.
The history of that ill-fated house,
with its frequent changes of ownership,
is said to fit many Of the hundreds of
small motion picture theaters in the
city. Purchasers Of such houses are
said in many instances to be so ignor-
ant Of. the business in which they de-
sire, to engage that they make no at
tempt to obtain licenses, not knowing
that every new owner must obtain
new license.
The more Ignorant the purchaser
the easier the broker finds him to deal
with, and many of the brokers are said
to have accumulated fortunes by buying
up down -ntthe-heel motion picture
houses and selling them to hopeful
individuals who have cleaned up a
tidy sum in some other field of en-
deavor and desire TO become motion
picture magnates.
1t is said that when the brokers
themselves purchase such house with
the intention of reselling it, they sell
dom bother to seek licenses, feeling
confident that they can dispose Of their
propeyty within a week or two. Rep
resentatives of4the Bureau of Licenses
asserted that it was impossible to de-
tect all such violations of the law.
License inspectors probably have
10000 licenses to inspect in q month"

sioner Of Licenses. THE rule is that
no license Shall be issued unless an in

Mrs. Meyer rejected the terms of this
ultimatum and soon after its submits
sion the couple parted, their two chill
dren remaining with the mother. With

thus severed husband and wife were

cations. Mr.. Meyer sent his wife $35

Mrs. Meyer, in acknowledging re-

With regard to one paragraph in the
ultimatum, which Mrs. Meyer said i'm
piled that she was addicted to drink
she denied that this was true.
She made denial too that her hus-
band had any ground for divorce. As
to the allegation that the man men
toned in Mr.. Meyers suit taught Mrs
Meyer how to run an automobile, she
said her husband would not teach her
although he found time to give another
young woman lessons in driving. JUS

again.
This time Chatterer changed his hid
ing place so as to see behind those
young hemlock trees. Pretty soon
Rusty appeared with fat hickory nut.
He looked this way and that way Then
he hurriedly ran to certain place,
pulled away the leaves on the ground
and put that fat hickory nut down. He
had his back to Chatterer, so that the
latter couldn't see just where he put
that nut. but he saw him pull the dead
leaves back over the place, and that
was enough.
There must be hole down there"
thought Chatterer, "and he is filling
1t. As soon as he disappears III have

filled it. Some day when / know he
isn't about I'll just take those fat

Chatterer snickered softly to him
self as he watched Rusty go for another
nut. The instant Rusty was out of
sight Chatterer whisked down from his
hiding place ard over to the place
where Rusty had hidden that nut.
