BOY LIVES TWO MONTHS
 WITH SPINAL CORD CUT

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, April 13.- Mitchell Choteau, wealthy Osage h. dian youth, fooled the doctors. When Choteau was brought into local hos pital, suffering from broken back, which he had received when his au- tomobile turned turtle earlier in the evening, physicians declared the youth would die before morning. Choteau was removed to his home recently, where he died. He had fingered more than two months and half with severed spinal cord, despite physl- clans predictions that the end would be matter of but a few hours.

TODAY Legal question whether wife has vested rights in husbands estate and it's effect on income tax, now being considered in California courts, writes William G. Gayce, Los Angeles.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-04-13

LOS ANGELES, April 13.-One of the most important legal questions ever to arise in California, and which has attracted the interest and atten- tion of residents and barristers alike, is that of a wifes right to legal title of community property under the ex- isting State laws.
 A recent decision of Federal District Judge Rudkin, affirmed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, was to the effect that wife has vested right in the community property and, pursuant to the decision, it has been held by many prominent attorneys throughout the State, and officials, that only the husbands interest in such property, in the event of his death, is subject to the Federal estate tax Judge Rudkin's decision is now pending before the United State Su- preme Court on writ of certiorari proceedings.

"In such a contingency any person in California who has filed return paying a tax on the entire community property income would be permitted to make a separate return of net in- come for husband and wife, and would also be entitled to refund under the following conditions:
 "The United States Treasury de- cision 3,146 provides that claim for credit or refund must be filed within five years from the date the original return was due. Another Treasury de- cision, No. 2,65O, extended the time for filing 1917 returns of net income until April, 1918, and the Commission or Internal Revenue has been quoted as saying that blanket extension was granted by which claims for returns under still another Treasury decision was extended to April l, 1923"

Incidentally, the same problem or determining the wife's right or ln- terest in so-called community property is pending before the California Su- preme Court in the case of Roberts against Wehmeyer. It has been stat ed through reliable sources that, should the State Supreme Court de- eide favorably to vested right in the wife, the United States Government will abandon it's appeal motion to the highest court in the country III the case of Blum against former Collect or of Internal Revenue Wardell. of San Francisco.
 It has been pointed out that fav- orable decision by either or both State and Federal courts would have an i'm portant bearing on the matter of re- funds on Federal taxes, and that those income tax payers who are interested | in the pending litigation should pro- 1 tect themselves against the statute of l limitations barring them from apply |
 ing for refunds.
 1 Attorney Claude l. Parker, formerly l Collector of Internal Revenue in the
 Los Angeles district, who has filed
 an elaborate brief in the State Su-
 preme Court in the Roberts-Wehmey- CT litigation, said recently in an in l tervieW:
 q hope the California Supreme
 Court justices will hand down fav-
 orable decision, holding that the wife
 has a vested right in the community
 property in this State. I believe the
 wife possesses the right, and have
 done all possible in argument to the
 court to make it clear. If such is the
 ruling of the court, I believe the Unit
 United States Governments appeal ID
 the Blum vs. Wardell case, now before
 the United States Supreme Court, will
 be withdrawn.

Actor Makes Good as Ford Executive

Al q boy, Ed A. Brown, service
manager of the Ford Motor Company
branch in Houston, played with paints
and actors makeup material, never
dreaming he would ever become a pro-
fessional actor. In 1913, when he was
transportation manager for a large
real estate concern, Brown was sent
to Los Angeles to superintend the
opening of a new residential sub-di-
vision. This job was quickly COM
pleted and soon he was looking around
for a new connection.
"Why not 60 into the movies" ask
ed a motion pictures acquaintance,
who had known of Browns experience
with paints and stage makeup when a
boy. The idea did not seem bad
one. and before long the erstwhile real
estate man was a full-fledged motion
picture actor. For several years
Brown played character parts with
great degree of success. In 1917 he
left the movies to organize COM
|pany under government supervision to
| play for the soldiers. He was sched-
| uled to 60. across with this company,
but the signing OF the armistice made
| this impossible. - ~. e
ASdln sDrOWu lett the lurc VI q uusi-
mess career. Drifting into Houston,
TEX, he found employment with the
Ford Motor Company branch which
had just been established there. Max
|ing good as road man, he was soon
promoted to the post of service mana
ger, one of the most important posi-
| tons in the Ford Motor Company.
Ever so often Brown comes over to
San Antonio to call on the boys he
knew SO sell when he was road man.
On his last trip, he brought his pic
ture album with him. 1t was from
this album that the pictures here re-
nroduced were obtained. To this very
Hay Brown does not know what be-
tame Of the pictures. Perhaps when
le sees them in print here he. will

On first thought it would seem
lat an automobile salesman would
have to exert greater effort to sell
a banker a motor car, but when it
is considered that the banker prob
ably is better posted on automobile
values than the average business
man. the sale does not appear quite
as difficult. Were I seeking to
place an Oakland True. Blue Six
in the hands of j. X. Beretta, presi1
dent Of the National Bank Of Com
merce, 1 should point out to my
prospect first, the advantage Of
owning a car made by a manufac-
turing division of the great Gen.
eral Motors corporation. such as the
Oakland. He then would realize the
stability of the Oakland manufac-
turing organization and the 'lity
of the manufacturers to give good
service on all products sold by them
Next I should tell Mr.. Beretta of
the remarkable eL..ne with which
the Oakland is equipped. He should
appreciate the importance of good
motor. Then / should enumerate
the many exclusive Oakland fea.
lures, such as four-wheel brakes,
centralized ignition control and the
new body finish, as wei as the
graceful lines and attractive appear
ance for the car generally. After
making these. statements, feel GER
tain Mr.. Beretta would buy an Oak
land without the least hesitation.

If Mr.. Beretta is any judge Of
motor car value, as r feel confident
he is, / should have no trouble in
selling him one CT the new Type
V-63 Cadillacs, equipped with four
wheel brakes. In the first place,
the Cadillac is car of SURPRISING
beauty and 1 know Mr.. Beretta likes
beautiful things. Besides beauty
Cadillac is noted for performance,
and that, after all is the most vi
tai consideration. No matter how
well car looks, unless it runs well,
it is of no value to the owner but
on the other hand. is a constant
liability. In the Cadillac Mr.. Be-
retta would find both beauty and
excellent mechanical performance, a
most desirable combination viewed
from any standpoint. And the re-
markable thing about it is. Cadii-
lac sells for a much lower price
than one would generally imagine.
Why not. Mr.. Beretta. let us show
you the new Cadillac and explain its
features in more detail. / am sure
you would thank us when YOU had
placed your order.

DRIVE In RACES
Women Are Not to Be Outdone by
the Men.

That ancient wheeze that women
can't drive motor cars may have to be
laid away with some other ones in
lavender and old lace.
Women are even entering the racing
fieid-and conquering. The dizzy speed
at which the worlds fastest drivers
nowadays circle speed tracks to vic
tory is not too fast for them.
Several women competed in a 100
mile race at the famous Brooklands
track, at London, recently. One Of
them, Mrs. Grace Duller, won with an
average of more than 90 miles an
hour, faster than the winning aver
age at the international 500-mile
classic at indianapolis Memorial Day
last.
Mrs. Duller drove Leyland eight,

mental in helping her win as the car
was equipped with Champion spark
plugs.

ception is that turning corners more
frequently to the right than to the left
is responsible for this wear. Such,
however, is not the case.
The reason that tires on the right
side of the car wear more quickly
than those on the left is that they
carry a greater load than their broth
ers on the other side. The natural
slope of the street or road, causes
more Of the load to rest upon the right
side of the car. In addition, the
natural tendency of the car to slide
sideways because of the road slope
must be counteracted more by the
tires on the right side than by those
on the left.
Car owners sometimes wonder also
why it is that under normal conditions

1t is my opinion that j. X. Be

Bank of Commerce, would find one
of the new Dodge Brothers models,
especially the business coupe invalu-
able in the transaction of his bust
ness. 1t is well known fact that
a large part of. the purchasers Of
Dodge Brothers coupes are BUSH
ness executives of the high standing
and reputation of Mr.. Beretta. Al
though 1 am certain Mr.. Beretta
is acquainted with the fact, / shall
state here that the new Dodge Broth
ers cars are all-steel, not one par
ticle of wood being used in their
construction. For this reason, then
the Dodge is practically fireproof.
The new 1924 Dodge Brothers car
has been improved vastly in looks.
OF course, it has been improved me-
chanically. For the price I don't be-

left rear. That, according to tire ex-
perts. is due to the additional strain
placed upon it by the motor. The driv-
ing power of the car is transmitted to
the rear wheels, and in starting and
stopping. the tire is given additional
strain. Net only Eust it meet with the
natural obstacles of the road. but it
must also absorb the pulling and
braking strain which is transmitted
by the motor -

prospect this time! That sounds in
teresting. Bankers are usually con-
sidered difficult prospects, but in
the final analysis they are just the
opposite, because in their experience
as bankers they have acquired an
uncanny ability to correctly appraise
the value of products, including au-
tomobiles. When a salesman has
a good product to sell, he shouldn't
fear the so-called hardest prospect.
Now / consider myself just such a
salesman, therefore / do not believe
I should have any trouble selling
Mr.. Beretta car were he in the
market for a new car. The Stude-
baker is too well known an automo-
bile to need any description or praise
here. This car embodies advances
and refinements found in no other
automobile, not even barring the
most expensive makes. The best
argument in favor of Studebaker
of which I know is the steadily in
crcasing army of satisfied owners.
After all that's the best test OF the
popularity of any car. / believe Mr..
Beretta should drive one of the new
Studebaker models. / am sure it
would be a revelation to him.
