BOOST FOR LINCOLN
Creates Favorable Impression for
Many New Features

One Of the much -heralded new cars
Of the year seen at the show is the Lin
coin, the product Of Henry NJ. Leland
and his associates, at Detroit, in the
so, 900 900 Liberty Air Craft factory.
It IL notable for It's mechanical features,
the most conspicuous Of which, perhaps,
is the placing Of the eight cylinders in
grees instead Of the customary ninety
degrees.
The cylinders are 33s inch bore and
5-inch stroke, with 1918 cubic inches
displacement. The crank case is un .
usually deep, three point suspension
being used.

tain it's safety, its freedom. its stand
ing and its favorable acceptance by the
community. Five years ago such sug-
gestions as these were unnecessary.
Today, when each eleventh person owns
car, IL is vitally necessary TO have
drivers recall the days Of chivalry.
Crowded and still more crowded streets
and roads have produced nation wide
problem. whose simplest solution is a
return to the courtesy of the days when
knighthood howered.
The automobile is too vital to the
nation, too much a part of the blood
and bone OF the country's economic life
to have its use curtailed through the
failure Of its users to follow the rules
Of simple courtesy and safety.

Officers Arrest Roy Badgley
In RhOne Machine-COm-

Patrolman Louis Nellie arrested
Roy Badgley, 721 s. Michigan ST.,
for stealing a Ford machine owned
by John e. Rohne. SOS 5. Michigan
St, and brought TO the station with
Badgley a woman who gave her
name as Helen Harris, 613 IL T..
Ohio St, and who was riding In the
stolen machine when it was appre-
hended by Meilke.
At nine O'Clock Thursday night
Rohne reported TO the police that
his car had been stolen from a gar
age in the 100 block Of 5. Michigan
st. A short time afterwards officer
MeiIlle saw the machine race madly
down Sample ST., before any at
temp at It's apprehension was made.
The officer telephoned the headquar-
tiers and the minute motorcycle men
were detailed to spread a net about
the Sample st. section Of the city.
As officer Meilke stepped from
the telephone booth he saw the car
again pass him. this time going AT
n slower speed. Mellke stopped a
Ford car that passed by an instant
later and pressed the driver into
service. They chased the car through
the city at a rapid speed and finally
overlook the stolen Ford when II

The occupants OF the machine
were taken to the station. The girl
was released after she told the
police that she had seen Badgley

IN she went for a ride with him

That Badgley may be responsible
for some Of the many car robberies
that nave been reported of late was
the belief expressed by the police
who have found many reported
stolen cars abandoned in woods near
the city limits. That Badgley would
have "ditched" the machine when
