separated from DR.. Vinson, her sec
ond husband, for sometime. HE
spurned my love-" she said, charging
him with unfaithfulness.
Following the shooting, counsel for
the defense filed special plea OF in
ran'ty in Mrs. Wilson's behalf, alleg-
ing that a disordered mental condition
was responsible for the killing. After

Representative Begg. Republican or

garded ';as the banker" for interna-
tional propositions and. referring more
specifically to the international in
stitute of agriculture at Rome, de-
.clared it had failed to function so
far as agriculture in the United
States was concerned. His motion
to cut the appropriation for the in
stitute from $19.577 to $4,000, was de-
feated after Representative Mondell
of Wyoming majority leader and
others had spoken in defense Of the
institute.
Asserting that an important con-
ference was about to begin at Gem

clined to participate, Representative
Moore said:

to go into conferences that won't

Leland dBliIf-AN1ERICA' S FINEST CAR---LeLand Built

The Lincoln Motor Car is the product of
more than Twenty Years of Development
1t was conceived and brought into being by
group of men who have directed the de-
| sign and manufacture of more high-grdde
motor cars than have ever been produced
under any other single supervision.
The financial resources behind the Lin
coin Car are doubtless the greatest in the
entire industry. It's plant is the most scien-
tifically equipped and the most modern of
all the automobile manufacturing institu-
tions Of the world.
The men who are building the Lincoln
are the same men who first brought into
use the wonderful precision gauges today
found in all high-grade automobile prac-
tice; they were the first to build cars with
standardized parts-cars in which the parts
were thoroughly interchangeable; the cleo
tric starting device, one Of the greatest of
motor car betterments was inaugurated by
| them and they were the first to develop and
produce in large volume the eight-cylinder,
V-type, high-speed engine. These are but
few of their splendid contributions to the
industry.
