SAFES WdNdger fcefteSS MOTOR CGT

Repeated announcements Of new de-
signs and features nave lost much Of
their old power Of attraction. Most
principles Of motor car design have
now been. determined upon. Constant
offers Of improvements weaken CON
hdence' in owners OF older models, and
make them feel that new cars may
soon become Anticipated.
Therefore. you Will find that manu-
facturers who have been conservative
in production and price have been con-
servatlve also IN engineering design.
But conservatism that is based upon
anything less than the nearest possible
approach TO the manufacturers ideal is
shortsighted.
part of their lives IN the motor car
industry, as we'll as motor car owner
whose ownership began with the
earliest models, can trace motor ca
development through several distinct
phases.
After The preliminary engineering
problems had been solved and the prac.
ticatity Of the motor car had beer
proved, came a period in which the
chief objects sought were power and
speed: This was due largely to the
TACT that, as in succeeding periods. mo-
tor car manufacturers were following
the demands o. the public. The motor
car owning public at that time was com.
posed almost exclusively Of men ano
women VINO drove cars for sport. Con.
tests were numerous, and the cars
which had the best contest record we're
almost regardless Of cost, the cars
most in demand.
The next period was characterized
by a demand on the part Of an increas.

AS g matter Of fact, 20 any one who
gives the matter q little thought, the
idea that the motor car can be classed

NIT. Vernon Police Hold
Key to Street Meetings
City's Attorney Says Refusal TO
Permit Socialist Gathering
Was Traffic Ruling

Argument ON the constitutionality
of the Mt. Vernon IN. " ordinance
prohibiting street meetings unless per-
mits are obtained was heard yesterday
by the Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court in Brooklyn The case
went to the higher court on an appeal
from Supreme Court Justice Keogh's
order releasing three persons arrested
under the ordinance on q writ Of ha-
beas corpus.
Emory r. Buckner represented the
city authorities Of Mt. Vernon and Ar
thur Garfield Hays appeared for the
defendants, Thomas r. Doyle, William
G. Chambers and Mrs. Blanche N.Hays,
who were speakers at Socialist street
meeting. Mrs. Hays Is not Socialist,
but went to the meeting to speak be-
cause she believed that the ordinance
is unjust.
Instead OF using the argument made
before Justice Keogh that permit for
the meeting was refused because the
Two men who were to speak were Social
lists, Mr.. Buckner asserted that it lay
within the police power Of the city to
regulate the use of it's streets with a
view to preventing disorder or traffic
congestion. If the defendants believed
that the Mayor had exceeded his power
an refusing permit, he said, they
should have sought writ Of man
damus.
1.-THE Constitution does not say that
the right of free speech and assembly
shall bel abridged unless people have
enough money to hire halls" Mr.. Hays
said. Street meetingsshave been per-
mitted since time immemorial. The de-
NAL OK the permit constituted an ille-
gal discrimination against Socialism"

Now all the time that Boxer, The
runaway little Bear who had started
out 30 see the Great World for him
self, had been losing himself more
and more and getting into more and
more trouble, Mother Bear had been
worrying about him, and she and his
twin sister, Woof-Woof, had been
everywhere but the right place look
ing for him.
~ You remember that Mother Bear
and Woof-Woof had been away from
home when Boxer decided to run
away. When they returned Boxer
had been gone so long that Mother
Bears nose failed to find enough of
his scent to follow. So when she
started to look for him she started in
the wrong direction. Of course, she
had to take Wool Wool with her, and
because Woof-Woof got tired after
while Mother Bear couldn't hunt as
thoroughly as she would have had
she been alone.
AT first Woof- Wool had felt very
badly, indeed, at the loss Of her lit

of all the dreadful things that might
happen to him out in the Great World.
she became very sorrowful. This
was at first. After she had tramped
and trampad behind Mother Bear,
tramped until her feet ached, she be-
came cross. She blamed Boxer, and
quite rightly, for those aching feet.
The more they ached the crossar. she
became, until she tried to make her
self believe that she didn't care what
happened to that needless brother.
II don't care If ever see him

Theft Laid to
Lure of Races
Clerks Accused of Frauds
Said to Have Depended
ON Long Shots i'm Effort
10 Recover Former Losses
Single Bet Cost $1,000
Savings Certificate Books
Stripped and Stuffed With
Paper, Inspector Says

James II. Dunlay, thirty-one years
old, of 2ss West 112th Street, and Ralph
Rosenberg, twenty-eight years old, Of
$40 Whitlock Avenue, the Bronx, post
office clerks, were arraigned before
United States Commissioner Samuel
Hitchcock yesterday charged with en-
bezzling $4,000 by means OF postal
savings certificate frauds. Each was
held in $4,000 bail to await the action
Of the grand jury. James A. Feeney,
postoffice inspector, was the complain
ant.
Dunlay had been in this employ of
the government for thirteen years and
Rosenberg two years. Both were CON
fidential clerks in the postal savings
department at Station I, 232 West 10th
Street. They had charge of the receipts
issued by the postoffice In return for
moneys deposited by citizens, according
to Inspector Feeney.
Methods Alleged in Frauds
These books of certificates are issued
IN bulk to the various stations where
postal savings deposits are received.
The certificates are numbered serially.
The method employed by the accused
men, Feeney charges in his complaint,
was to take a book of certificates that
would not come into use for some
months in the ordinary course Of bust
ness and issue certificates therefrom.
The clerks would then pocket the
money, it is said, and use it to play
the races. The men, said Feeney, began
operations In August, 1920, and con-
tinued until arrested.
Feeney charges he found the books
from which certificates had been taken.
After removal of the certificates the
books had been stuffed with rent re-
ceipts and other papers to give them
the appearance of being filled with un-
issued certificates, he said.
The accused men, according to
Feeney, in their fraudulent operations
handled only certificates that called
for from 500 to $500. Dunlay and Ros-
enberg, when confronted with the evil
dence, it is alleged, confessed their
guilt.
Attempt to Recover Losses
Feeney said the men admitted using
tho money playing long shots at.the
races, hoping to make big enough
haul to make good their populations.
In one case, he said, the two men, who
worked together, issued certificates for
$1,000. and lost it all on a single bet.
Inspector Feney wished it to be
made clear that all losses will be alb
sorbed by the government. The deposit
tors who hold the certificates sent out
by these two men need not fear, as the
money was legally denositod by, ~ -.
with the men, at that time duly author
lied agents of the government to re-
ceive it.
Assistant United States ATTORNEY
Louis D. Schwartz is handling the case
for the government.

A Jury in the Court Of General SEES
sions last night, after less than an hour
Of elaboration, returned q verdict OF
not guilty for Benny Kauff, suspended
cutfelder Of the Giants. He was
charged with grand larceny and crimi-
naily receiving stolen goods.
When the verdict was announced
tears came to Kauff's eyes, and rising
ne thanked the jury in whisper. IL
was learned later that all twelve Jurors
voted for aequittal on the first ballot,
SO far as the grand larceny count in
the Indictment was concerned.
After the announcement of the ver-

room free. AS he reached the corridor
outside he was greeted bx group Of
forty or more friends. He was carried
to 8 waiting automobile amid cheers

burden of being bound by what they
would say upon either the prosecution
or the defense, the court directs that
