Famous Screen Artists Seen at Close Range Prove Delight

For an air of general jollity. warmth, friendliness and good nature. nothing that has ever been given here has ex- celled the delightful luncheon yesterday given by the Chamber of Commerce at the Tutwiler for the galaxy of motion pie ture stars that were in the city. The affair included the stars and number of people representative of interest," along journaistic and artistic lines and city officials and men and women prominent in civic and social organization.
 The motion picture actors reached the Tutwiler at about 1:30. Owing to the warmth and length of their reception at the station they were somewhat delayed from the set breakfast hour. which was to have been at 10 o'clock, with luncheon at 12:30 Accordingly, luncheon was not we'll under way until about 1:3o, which somewhat hastened but in no wise ham pered the merriment of the ceremonies !

TURN ON POWER

We clip the following from the
October 9th issue of the Kalamazoo
Gazette relative to the turning on
of the power at the bort factory
which recently removed from Belding
to Kalamazoo:
Municipal electric power service
the first to be extended from the
city lighting plant to any industry in
Kalamazoo will be opened this after

Pitcher street. With the opening of
the power circuit the bort company

the initial load, $50 horsepower, or
about Ill killowatts of current. There

AGE OF USED
CARS IS VERY
OFTEN CONFUSED
DEALER OFFERS ACCURATE IN
FORMATION TO PURCHASERS
OF USED MOTOR CARS

An unusual service, in view of the
fact that it is intended primarily for
persons who do business with a COM
petitor has been announced by the
johnson Auto Co., Dodge Brothers
dealers in this city. The service is
for the benevt of those who buy used
Dodge Brothers motor cars on the
open market and who are i'm doubt
as to the age and condition of the
car.
ANY man who buys used Dodge
Brothers motor car, if he brings it
to us for inspection, can learn def
nitely when the car was built" said
Mr.. johnson, of the Johnson Auto Co.
while we operate a used car mar
ket ourselves we will gladly give this
information because we feel that a
man who owns Dodge Brothers car
is member of the family, regard
less Of whether he comes in through
the front Or back door, and we owe
him certain definite courtesie,.
sowing to the fact that Dodge
Brothers cars are not built in series
of models and never have shown any
material change in appearance, it Is
often very difficult to determine lust
how old the car is. Therefore it is
easy to make gross misrepresenta-
ton to prospective purchasers. MANY
q man has been told he is buying q
1919 Dodge Brothers car when in re-
atty the car was built three or four
years earlier. INSCRIPTIONS persons
occasionally resort to this practice
deliberately, but very often it is done
through error as persons outside our
i'm -.
way of deciding this important point.
Dodge Brothers have supplied us
with complete records of production,
so that we are enabled, thrugh GER
tain numbers on the car, to tell just
when it was built. Therefore it is APP
parent that nobody is ever deceived
on this point when he buys from our
used car market. 1t is also our policy
to overhaul every car we take in be-
fore putting it back on the market.
We insist on having used cars in good
condition before they are sold. This
not only makes satisfied customers,
but it tends to maintain the good rep
utation of Dodge Brothers motor
cars.
at would pay the public to be more
careful in buying used cars. People
should insist on the accurate infor-
nation they are entitled to when buy
ing. They should, above all, know
just whom they are doing business
with and try to determine whether
their future good will and satisfac-
ton means anything to the person
they are buying from or whether
immediate profit is the sole object
of the deal.
Meanwhile we shall be glad to
help along the cause of better used
cars by giving purchasers the infor-
nation that will enable them to tell
whether they have been honestly
dealt with"

man came to the door. He recon-

Since the exposure Brousseau had

to get back that which seemed slipping
inexorably from his grasp. Consumed
with furious hate of Hilary. he seemed

Brousseau was staggered. II Hilary

had sought vainly In his desk, before
the police. He saw the prison walls
closing about him. And to the great
hate he bore Hilary was added the lust
for liberty.

that alarmed her was his way OF en-

came In furtively, and she could hard

She wondered what was portending.
or late he had watched her more keen
ly than ever, and had been more silent.
She slept by starts, and awakened
at dawn to hear a stealthy step out
side her door. In the dim light she
saw her father bending over her bed.
She sat up, stretching out her arms as
If to ward of something. In her con-
fused condition between sleep and
waking she had fancied for a moment
that he held something In his hand
a knife or revolver.
But she saw that he held nothing.

then the darkness closed about her.
The pulIeys creaked. The mainsail

In the wind. The two gafftopsails

down the ladder into the little open
space before the cabin.
Half dazed. he was barely conscious
Of seeing the grinning faces of Pierre

coat was torn from his back. his peck
cts emptied. He waited for the knife
thrust, but only kicks followed. He
was lifted and thrown into the cabin.
The outlaws ran back to assist Du-
pont In getting up the sails. 1t was
not Brousseau's plan to dispatch him
within hearing of the shore.
He heard the sails being hoisted.
and felt the schooner moving from the
wharf. Then he heard a low cry and
saw Madeleine upon her knees before
him.
She bent her face to his, whispering
that she loved him. pleading for for
giveness, and beseeching him to rise.
And Hilary opened his eyes to dis
cover that the vision was reality.
He staggered to his feet and stood
swaying In the middle Of the cabin.
while she kept her arms about him.
He began to remember. He knew
where he was now. Madeleine thrust
the revolver into his hand.

Carrying On

THE refining of petroleum has
been revolutionized during
the past ten years Otherwise
the present use OF antomotiye ma
chinery would be impossible.
In 1910 the average yield of gasoline from
crude was ! percent, while in 1919 this
average had risen to about 70 percent
withoutin airy way, impairing the quality
of the product.
This tremendous advance the direct
result of applying the findings of scientific
workers to the problems of industry, and
in this work the Standard Oil Company
Qndana) has taken leading part.
The chemists and technical experts who
have charge of the manufacturing activ-
tiles of the Standard Oil Company On
diana have been pioneers In the scientific
refining of crude OIL
Their success is attested by the fact that
the Company has been able to produce
an ever-increasing volume OF gasoline
from the petroleum available.
The gasoline problem is important, but
it can and will be solved by individual
initiative, stimulated by fair and reason
able competition.
In the solving of this problem, the in
terests of the Standard Oil Company
Qndana), the manufacturer of automo
tive machinery, and the public
greatly increased production is essential.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
is straining every fibre of its highly special
lied organization to increase the quantity
of gasoline which may be taken from the
crudc-to maintain the high standard of
quality it has always insisted on, and to
do this without disturbing the output of
other useful and necessary refined pro-
ducts of petroleum which it must supply.

GRAIN GRADING LAW
Of NORTH DAKOTA IS
HELD CONSTITUTIONAL
Judge AmidOn Rules Statute
Does Not Conflict With
Federal Enactment.

Fargo, n. d., June 22.-North Dako-
ta's grain grading law was held consti-
tutional and not conflicting with the fed
eral grain statute in a decision handed
down by Judge Charles +. Amidon in
United States district court here Mon
day. dismissing the suit of the Farm
ers Grain company Of Embden, \. D.,
attacking the constitutionality of the
act The measure was enacted by the
Non Partisan league legislature at the
regular session in 1919.
A temporary injunction against the
operation Of the measure granted by
the circuit court at st. Paul in April,
was automatically terminated by the
decision Judge Amidon in his opinion
held that since the hearing on the tenn
porary injunction two of the federal
statutes relied upon by the grain com
pany, one relating to the control and
distribution of food products and the
other the guarantee of wheat prices,
have ceased to be in force and that the
only law to which attention should be
given was the United States grain
standards act. The state law, Judge
Amidon held. is not in conflict with this
measure and is constitutional.
