last Friday evening after moving the
lawn were found Tuesday morning and
returned to the institution. The girls
were found at Indian Pond. AS Friday
was circus day in town and one of the
girls had been with a circus. the Off

had departed with the Walter l.. Main
circus, and so the escaped girls got
quite a start Search was not made
in the direction which they took until
Sheriff Mooers notified the officials that
he had been told that clothes line on
the Russell Woods had been robbed.
Supt. Mary w. Libby, Parole officer
Henrietta Bowman and Farm Mama er

man and Frank l.. Gipson of Bingham.
One of the girls came to the reforma-

Hallowell, from which she had escaped
five times. On her trip they told a
pitiful story of illness or death in their
homes to which they pretended to be
goin, and received some rides.
Mrs. Abbie NJ. Green, who has been
cared for at the home of Mrs. Herbert

U. S. Competition
Worries Germans
In Auto Field

I.eipsic, June 90 ca. p. by maiD-
German automobile manufacturers
are much worried over the prospects
of American competition. Certain
embargoes upon the importation OF
foreign cars are about to expire.
after which nothing but customs
tariff will stand in the way OF
flood of American autos.
German manufacturers recognize
that they can only hope to meet
American competition If they unite
and simplify production. Thus far
there has been a tendency for every
auto engineer coming up from the
ranks to set up for himself as soon
as his funds permitted, and to de-
wise car slightly different from ex-
listing types. The result has been
that mass production is unknown in
Germany.
AS first step toward concentra-
ton and Capitalization, the two larg-
est automobile manufacturers in
Germany, Daimler and Benz, have
pooled their interests and entered in
to an arrangement which approach
