Yesterday Marked Closing Of

The National Automobile Show lived
up to precedent yesterday by drawing
a crowd that cared not whit for the
beating rain storm that forced it to re-
sort TO taxis and private cars to reach
Grand Central Palace. No better evil
dence OF the publics interest in 1921

said, than this wet-footed attendance,
and to -day-Suburban Days expected
to go Dealers Day one better. no mat
ter how unfavorable the weather.
The exposition has provided an eye
opener for the automobile trade as we'll

medium for renewing friendships and
acqualntances that arc realized as in

which has its greatest membership and
maintains it's headquarters in this city.
The general opinion yesterday was
that the annual show has already
broken the buying vacuum which has
afflicted the country's Industries and
proof is seen in the optimism, induced
by sales and lists of prospects" per
vading the Palace.
Patron@ of the exposition figure that
by spending 70 cents for an admission
ticket they can choose their 1921 auto
mobile in a day as against several
days, or possibly weeks, spent at other
times of the year in locking over the
widely separated exhibits of dealers
throughout the city or country. The
show, therefore, is mecca of both
buyers and sellers.
"Many persons came 10 the show
with the impression that there would
be further cuts in the prices of auto
mobiles" remarked manufacturer.
eve have succeeded in demonstrating
to them that this is not likely. We
pointed cut that when production was
reduced overhead went up so that it
more than equalized the reduction
made in labor costs. Until greater pro-
dCction can be made and overhead re-
duced it will rot be possible to lower
prices. The big factor, Of course, is
overhead
As in other years, Dealers Day at

Shuberts Agree
10 Answer Charges
OF Actors Equity

Observation-Disclosures;
Union Members and De.
PENDANT to Discuss Details

Lee Shubert went before the Produc-

Thursday by the Actors Equity As
ISOLATION that the Shuberts had dis
crlminated against union actors in vio-
lAtion of the working contract agreed
to by the Actors Equity and the Pro-
ducing Managers after the strike in
the late summer CT 1919.
The Equity had demanded that the
Shuberts-Lee and j. J.--be expelled
from the Producing Managers Asso-
citation, the president of which is Sam
H. Harris, at this special meeting
which was called yesterday and which
was attended by representative theatri-

following statement was given out over
the signatures Of Frank Gilmore, ex-
ccutive secretary of Equity, and
Arthur Hopkins, representing the man.
ayers:
There was q meeting yesterday of
the officers of the Producing Managers
Association in reference to the charges
brought by the Actors Equity Associa-
ton against the Messrs. Shubert 1t
was agreed by the Messrs. Shubert to
give categorical answer to said
charges and to present same at another
meeting to be held some time next
week, probably Thursday afternoon,

into the matter more in detail
THE committee of Equity will be
made up Of John Emerson, president;
Frank Gilmore, executive secretary;

Dullzell, organizer, and Paul M. Tur-
ner, attorney"
The executive secretary said that
Chorus Equity was not bound by the
working contract of September, 1919,
which provides for arbitration of diff
culties, and that if it were proven that
the Shuberts have been unfair and dis
criminatory, as charged by Equity, a
strike could" be declared.
Lee Shubert declined to make any
statement after the meeting, saying
that anything for publication should
come from Mr.. Gilmore and Mr.. Hop
kins.

Brooklyn Aids Six I'LL
And Hungry Porto Ricans
Family, Suffering from Coal Gas
Poisoning, Gets Medical At
tentiOn and Food in Plenty

A cry Of distress from family Of
six Porto Ricans, made i'll by the I'M
accustomed nauseating odor of coal
gas, brought all the charitable ma
chinery of Brooklyn into play yester-
day afternoon.
When the day was over the mother
and eldest daughter of the family of
Peter Aran, of 1881 Third Avenue,
were in the Kings County Hospital;
men of the Fourth Avenue police sta
tDn; agents of the Charities Depart
ment had investigated, and Lola, the
year-old daughter and only
only member of the family who speaks
English, was holding the door against
more visitors, who kept arriving with
offers of aid, declaring, "everything is
all right"
The family came to this country
from Porto Rico four. months ago to
make their fortune in the land of
factory of wool" until last month,
when he lost his position. The two
oldest daughters are at work, however,
one earning Sl2, and the other SIS a
week.
The excitement began at q o'clock
yesterday morning, when Charles Aran,
seven years old. woke up Morris Engle-
bardt, who lives on the floor above the
Aran family, screaming that his family
was all dying. Mr.. Englebardt found
the Porto Ricans all violently i'll, and
summoned the police.
At first it was believed they were
suffering of ptomaine poisoning, and
the ambulance was called from the
Norwegian Hospital. Later the doctor
diagnosed the case as coal gas poison
ing. There was plenty of food in the
Aran fiat last night, but no one who
wanted to eat it,

The Olds Motor Works plans it's

Basically, all Oldsmobile products
have been planned to show and to de-

thaS reason we find Oldsmobile motor
cars comparatively less affected by
fiuctuAtion' in the national automobile
demand.
Olds distributors and dealers are
largely made up of firms which have
built permanent business in their
respective communities. They arc men

at modest price.
This car, both in its appearance and
it's mechanical goodness, quite carries
on the best Oldsmobile traditions for
manufacturing goodness. Its roomi-
ness is an especially attractive feature.

The measure of Tom Watson's abil-
ity as statesman may be taken in
the measure he proposes to introduce
as soon as he takes his seat in the
Senate. He intends, he says, at the
extra session of the sixty-seventh
congress to introduce a bill that will
make Liberty and Victory bonds and
government paper legal tender. Mr..
Watson announces plans for introduc-
ing bills to force the federal reserve
and farm loan banks to lend money
directly to individuals and to require
the secretary of the treasury to is
sue the unissued greenbacks author
lied by a bill signed by President
Lincoln. The total of these author
lied but unused greenbacks, according
to the senator-elect, is 100000, 900.
Watson claims to be not only a stu
dent of history but historian, and
if there is one thing history proves
it is that when a government tries to
make its people take any kind of OBJ
legations at par, the obligations i'm
mediately deteriorate.

In the issue of Jan. of the Palm
Beach Post, Joe Earman sung his
swan song as a newspaper man. He
turns the Post over to d. III. Conk-
ling, who established the paper which
grew into the Post, and who will car
ry it on, doubtless with success. Mr..
Earman's health, or rather lack of it,
caused by overwork, compels him to
take this step. His writings in the
Post will be greatly missed. He has
a style that is unique and inimitable
and the press is a great loser by his
retirement. Altho losing Mr.. Earman
the Post will continue to be a fine
newspaper under the guidance of Mr..
Conkling, who is himself an excellent
writer.

WORTH CULTIVATION

Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Frederitzi. who
have a home and market garden on
the Lake Weir road, have been cult
waiting a vegetable unusual to this
section. Being well acquainted with
it. they expected it to sell rapidly, but
were surprised to find it difficult to
dispose of. as it was stranger to
the people.
Mre. Frederitzi brought a specimen
to the Star the other day, and when
the writer saw it he wondered why
Everybody didn't buy on sight. It
looked at the bottom like very wide
stalk of celery and like a bunch of
lettuce on top. 1t was smooth and
tender all the way thru.
1t was Chinese cabbage (pe tsai),
and possesses the virtues of both cab
bage and lettuce. It is a cool wealth
or plant, and therefore comes in just
fright in the Florida winter. Any per.
SON can make an enjoyable lunch of
the green leaves with no other dress
ing than rinsing with cold water
and from that on it can be made int.
salads or cooked in a dozen satisfac
tory ways.
The writer took his copy of tn
fcabbage to Hunters Cafe, wher
Charles cook boiled it with ham, an,
the Star man and DIR. Smith consum
ed it for dinner. They were not max
ling meal but scientific experimen
land it was eminently satisfactory.

Editor Thorndyke of the Kissim-

Florida contemporaries that they join
his "keep-still" club regarding Cats
after his departure from office. This
suggestion from "Thorn" emanates
from the. idea that Cats will become
q candidate for congress. So far as
the Star is concerned, it had decided
that when Mr. Cats went out of of
fee he would at once become one of
the most ordinary of ordinary citi-
zens and should have no more men,
tion than an ordinary citizen. The
Valley Gazette need have no fear that
he will ever hold office again.
