Cab Fares Reduced. ~ 49,
sThe world knows today how, well
Mr.. Heftztsucceeded in his plan, Cal
fares were reduced to a point un'
dreamed of few years ago. The Vel
low Cab was developed as a special
lied vehicle which not only served the
taxicab patron better, but enabled
the operator to conduct his business
at a profit, despite low fares. And,
finally, he devised a system of re-
cruiting cab drivers that has !devel-
oped a group of young men who are
not ordinary chauffeurs in any sense
of the word, but are 'merchandisers OF
cab transportation
when oil this had been done. the
market for cab rides was still large
ly undeveloped and it was recognized
that if the modern cab business was
to survive, the public would have to
be educated to the convenience and
economy of this new form of transpor-
tation service.
"The daily newspaper was the me-
dium chosen and the results accom-
plished have exceeded every expecta-
ton. A typical example is that Of
the Yellow Cab Co., of Chicago, which
with 745 cabs, in 1920 covered 49,
774,301 miles. In 1929 this fleet had
increased to 1900 cabs and covered
90,794,3S1 miles.
Cab Riding Increases.
aThe figures are relatively the
same in practically every city in
America. Cab riding is increasing by
leaps and bounds. simply because the
public is being educated through the
medium of the daily newspaper to the
convenience and genuine economy of
cab riding.
"To illustrate the gigantic proper
tons to which the modern cab bust
ness has grown, it is estimated that
100000 vehicles of all kinds in taxi

The new Paige is equipped with the
oil-yac system of gasoline feed. This
vacuum system is variation from
former types in that it will not fur
nish fuel to the engine unless the
power plant has oil. With the adop-
ton of the oil-vac system new oil
pump of the blade type has been add

third more oil through the vital parts
of the engine than any other type

MONTREAL, March 1.-Two
chiefs Of the Mohawk tribe, Sose
Kentaratiron. eighty-five years old,
and American Horse, seventy-five,
who live on the Caughnawaga In.
dian reserve. were sentenced to two
months Imprisonment after they
had been adjudged guilty of stealing
the famous Iroquois wampum belt
from the parish priest of Caughna-
waga.
The belt, valued at more than
$4,000 as an historic relic, was
produced in court. Counsel for the
two chiefs explained that it had
been returned to Father Lacouture,
from whom the chiefs borrowed
the belt last fall, telling him they
wanted to have its mystic signs
read. They did not return it, and
were found guilty OF theft.

brought to Haynes attention Ger
tain disadvantages involved in such
a course Of procedure on the part Of

On Of these certain .disadvan-
tages" was that when a mail wagon
is stopped for the purpose Of a
search the carrier might readily
presume that he was confronted
with robbers and in some circum-
stances would probably be justified
in taking extreme action forcibly to
defend himself and the mails from
the apparent danger"
Under the new ruling, where pro-
hibition officers have reason to sus-
pect that Intoxicating liquors. are

they must confer with the nearest

LOS ANGELES SEEN
AS COTTON CENTER

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March 49,
Under the direction Of the Chamber
OF Commerce, a survey of the tex.
tile industry in southern California
is being conducted with promising
results. The report shows Los An.
geles is likely to become a great
cottoH-growing and textile center.
The markets Of the Pacific coast
and the Western States absorb large
quantities Of textiles. California
cotton has been judged superior in
many respects to cotton raised in
other sections Of the United States.
The acreage planted increases each
year.
At present mills in California are
using about $4,000 bales Of this cot.
ton, English mills take about
70, 900 bales, ana the Eastern mills
consume the remainder of 10000
mills. If present plans are consum-
mated, enough mills will be built in
this district to consume the entire
supply. Production for 1928 Is
valued at $34 100000.
