C 7 LII drive II. mister" piped
small voice from smaller
young chap one day at the
indianapolis Motor Speedway, when
the qualifying trials were being
staged for the annual 500 mile
jaunts.
The words were spoken to Louis
Chevrolet, the veteran speedster. who
is now in New York exhibiting at the
Commodore Hotel his marvellous new
motor, which he will use In the From
tenac car he is to offer to the public
this year.
Louis, much larger than the aver
age automobile race jockey, was hav-
ing troubles of his own qualifying
his Cornelian, the smallest car ever
appearing in competition at the In
dianapolis track.
So the diminutlve chap, Joe Boyer.
a speeding millionaire from Detroit,
got his first taste of speedway driv-
ing qualifying Chevrolets car and
starting racing career that will
ever be chronicled in racing annals
as sensational and replete with stunts
Of daring.
Boyer was just light enough to
speed the little job around the two
and one-half mile bricked oval in
the necessary time. and then Chevro-
let entered the race.

Make Question Issue
Before Congress.

CHICAGO, Oct. 20. The United
States Railroad Labor Board has at
tackled the living wage" theory
as advanced by labor leaders and
some social workers and economic
authorities, In a scathing majority
opinion. made public today. in sup
port Of the boards recent award of
a wage increase of 2 cents an hour
to 100000 maintenance of way en-
ployes.
The opinion is a rejoinder to the
dissenting opinion filed by labor
member. A. o. Wharton. and states
that Wharton refused to vote for
the cents increase because the
board did not recognize the prin-
ciple of the living wage"
Picks Flaws in Theory.
The board explains that the "liv-
ing wage" It attacks calls for basic
wages for each worker SUFFICIENT to
support a family Of five in comfort,
the family being supposed to con-
sist of husband. wife and three chill
dren under 16 years of age. 1t pro-
ceeds to pick numerous alleged flaws
in this theory.
At the same time the board ad-
mits that a man should get sufficient
wages for him to support himself
and those dependent on him. and de-
clares that the boards wage decis-
ions have always been based upon
this belief.
The board declared that the '1iv-
ing wage" Is a mere well-sounding
phraseology and a fallacy. and states
that the gain of maintenance men I'm
refraining from striking presents a
vivid contrast" to the position OF
the striking shopmen, who. the board
declares. gained no concession as
to any matter upon which they
struck"

The ajority opinion OF the board

tire body of economic theory now

British Sleuth Doubts
Story Told by Mrs. Gibson

NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-Sir Basil
Thompson. recently resigned director
of Scotland Yard, who arrived on the
Cunarder Caronia today. doubts the
truth of the story told by Mrs. Jane
Gibson of New Brunswick. ". j.,
that when she witnessed the killing
of Rector Edward W. Hall and Mrs,
Eleanor S. Mills she recognized Mrs
Hall among the four persons par
ticipating in the tragedy. Sir Basil
in his long career as a criminologist,
has studied crime from every angle.
Sir Basil said his doubt of Mrs.
Gibson's story was based on the fact
that it would be extremely difficult
to distinguish and identify legally
0lother person in the blackness Of
night. even when outlined for a few
seconds in the glare OF an automo-
bile headlight. He instanced MANY

nine DAYS LEFT;
BOTH PARTY CHIEFS

COP. Stresses Economy,
While Democrats Mani
fest Dissatisfaction.

With nine days to go before cleo
lican National Committee, and Cor
dell Hull. of the Democratic National
Committee, are making last-minute
appeals. each tinged with a forecast
of victory.
Chairman Adams, stressing the
issue Of public economy and point
ing to the economies of the Repub-
lican Congress. ventures the sug
gestion that "if this program of
public economy so well begun is to
be continued. it is necessary to elect
a Republican Congress in order to
maintain the cooperation between
the executive and legislative
branches of the government"
Chairman Hull goes so far as TO
predict that "a Democratic victory
nov is assured at the elections. Mo-
vember L. The only question OF
doubt remaining is the extent OF
the victory. Practically every sec
tion of the United States will con-
tribute a share to that victory, and
every class of voter will be largely
represented among the victors."
Neither party chairman will ven
ture, for strategic reasons" an
estimate of the specific States or
Congressional districts expected to
be won or retained.
The Republican party consist
entity practices public economy.
The Republican Congress elected
in 1918 served two years while the
Democrats were in charge OF the
executive agencies of the govern
ment. 1t reduced by $3.50, 900. 900
requests made upon 1t by Demo-
cratic executives for public ap-
propriations. This saving exceeds
the entire amount of money appro-
prfated to run the government this
year" declared Mr.. Adams.
Democratic executives protested
they could not operate the govern
ment on the reduced preparations
allowed them by the Republican
Congress, but the Republican ex-
ecutives who came into control
March 4. 1921, still further reduced
expenditures in the amount of ST.
743,000.000. For the first time of
record the various executive de-
partments of the government have
turned back into the Treasury
money appropriated for their use.
The Democratic appeal declares:
"1f the stay-at-home Republican
vote should be larger than anti
cipated by Democrats. there will be
very substantial Democratic VIC
tory.
IF, on the other hand. the pres
ent tendency of Republicans in re-
volt to support actively the Demo-
cratic ticket is general. as there Is
reason to believe it is, the Demo-
cratic party will register one of the
most sweeping victories 1t has had
in any mid election.
