HOME
Boy and Sister Run Away From
MotherIess House TO Avoid
Beatings.

at dawn this morning stole Buddy
Klaassen, nine, clutching the hand
Of his twelve-year-old sister,
Gladys. Finding mutual comfort
in each others company, they tip
toed softly away, bent on leaving
the home where, they say, their
daily rations consisted mainly Of
beatings at the hands Of their
stepfather.
Mother In Hospital.
Through Rosslyn's silent streets
they walked as fast al their strength
would permit. They had made up
their minds that they would run
away from the home that had ceased
to be home since three weeks ago
their mother, Mrs. Anna Klaassef1.
was taken to the Georgetown UNI
versity Hospital In delicate condi-
addition to the family, but Mrs.
Klaassen Is stiIl at the hospital.
Il As the two WAyfarers wended
theirpWay to this city they were seen
by an automObiIist, Charles II.
Folliere, Of Mclean, Va. He was
puzzled at the presence Of the two
on tho streets at such an early
hour and stopped to question them.
Buddy, manfu1 and determined,
lost his blase spirit and started 70
cry. Gladys told Folliere q story u
many beatings and Of their de.
termination to run away from them,
They said that since their mother
has been away they have been beat.
en- sometimes three and four times
day.
Folliere brought them to Wash.
ington. What he was to do with
them caused him no little worry.
He ended his connection with the
case when he drove up to the
Third precinct and delivered the
pair to the police.
Police Hear Story.
Policemen are kindly souls, with
al, and soon Buddy and Gladys
having eaten some warm food
were telling their story. They told
everything their childish minds
thought important and they told
enough to warrant an investiga
ton, the police say.
There was no place to keep then
at the Third precinct SO they were
taken to the House Of Detention
where in some measure attendants
are making up for their mothers
absence. Buddy and his sister SAL
they never want to go home. They
would rather stay at the House o.
Detention, where they will not bt
whipped for every thing they do
| Operatives of the Women's Blu
reau will investigate the children'i
story. They will question neighbour
OF the Klaassen's home at RosslyI
to seek Verificaticn of their story
And If 1t all turns out to be tru,
efforts will be made through tn,
courts to have the children takel
away from their stepfather.

supplementary grain ration has been
found to give approximately as good
results in increasing the number of
lambs as the extra good pasture. a
ration of oats alone, or equal parts by
measure Of corn, oats and bran in the
amount of about one-half to three
fourths pound per eve per day, is II
good one to use.
Flushing increases the size of the
lamb crop in two ways-it puts the
ewes in better condition to make sure
of their getting in lamb and it in
creases the proportion Of twin lambs.
Sheep breeders are constantly striving
to increase the proportion of lambs
born to the number of ewes in their
fiocks, but they have in most cases
paid little attention to the condition
of the ewes at breeding time. A little
extra care and attention just as the
breeding season opens will bring re-
suits next spring.

Says Hannun.

The orders already reported on hand

the production of automobiles indicate
more eloquently than anything the in.
dustry itself can say as to it's belief
for a prosperous year in 1928, accord.
ing to George II. Hannum, president
and general manager of the Oakland
Motor Car Company.
In letter to the Koehler-Dean Mo-
tor Company, local Oakland distribu-
tor, Mr.. Hannum points to these reports
as the most basic indication for a large
production Of automobiles for the pres
ent year. He also points to the re-
operating farm market as another of
the outstanding optimistic signs for
1923.
1.-The United States Department of
Commerce reports that the farmers the
coming year will receive approximately
50, 600, 100000 more from their crops
this year than they did last year. This
means that they will have a $1,000
100000 greater purchasing power.
at is not to be concluded from this.
of course, that the farmers will spend
all this money for commodities. Much
of it will go to pay off debts contracted
during the last two years which have
not been so prosperous for them. 1t

INCREASE OF $4,000
IN PRICES OF ALL
LOCOMOBILE CARS
Prices Have Been Too Lou,
Says President in
Statement.

The most radical price revision in
the history of the automobile indus
try in America was made Saturday
when price increases of $1,000 on the
various locomobile models were an
nounced. At the new prices, the Loco
mobile, one of the Oldest automobiles
in this country, takes rank with the
most expensive cars. ..-.
The price increase had been fore
Swallowed By recent announcements of
the company. 1t is in line with the
statement Of the Locomobile president,
W. 9. Durant, that the identity of the
Locomobile as a car of the highest
quality would be preserved by the new
organization. The new car now in
production was in preparation at the
time of reorganization of the company
as Durant enterprise. 1t is built
along the familiar sturdy lines of the
LocOmobile of former years, with re-
finements and improvements for quiet
operation, power and riding and driving
ease.
The Locomobile touring was increased
from $1,000 TO $4,000; four passenger,
$1,000 to $500: limousine. S9150 TO
81 600; coupe limousine, S10.500 to
$11,750: cabriolet, $1,000 to S12,20O !;
sedan. $1,000 to 12,200; chassis,
$4,000 to $4,000.
