 During the past year q new auto mobile enamel has been developed, which gives promise of taking the "Ain't out of paint" Engineers call this pyroxy- lin enamel. This product has the quality of drying very rapidly and to brilliant surface that almost defies wear. If the experience with this new agent to date is confirmed by later ex- periments, repainting a car will be a
 matter of hours, instead of weeks as has been the case in the past. This means that not only will the car owner not have to lay up his vehicle for long periods, but he will not have to pay through the nose for new paint job. When the chemists were working to develop this new enamel, they sought to get the rapid drying quality.

BOB HAIRED GIRL
 PROVES ELUSIVE
Broeldyn's Female Bandit Drives / s,5 Police To Dis
1I sssas Wirs is Yhs Ass. .Hsraisl

NN f E4N@
 NEW YORK, March 1.-Somewhere in sthe great expanse between Green lands, icy mountains and India's coral strands there may be he-man's town where bandits outnumber the citizenry, where hoidups occur regularly every 30 minutes on the crest of a vast crime wave. and where swoman's place is in the home.
 If your town can answer each one of those few and; simple qualifications, a whole police force will rush to you with wild shouts of joy and sign up as your cops for life, guaranteeing to en- force the law.
 That, in few words, outlines the depth of desperation to which the cop pers of the hard-by borough of Brook .lyn have been driven by the antics of Brooklyn's original one and only bob haired girl bandit.
 al Robs Every Week
 Bandits have come and bandits have gone in Brooklyn, but never before. police officials admit, did one come and perform such a sensational string of exploits within such short period of time and get away with it. Other bandits generally lay low for two or three weeks after crime, but the girl bandit who--in point of time at least came as sort of a Christmas present to Brooklyn, misses never weekend and frequently, as if just for the fun of it, fequently peps up week night for some luckless chain store manager and the frantic cops.
 800 Detectives In Hunt
