And it has been produced along proved

The Owen Magnetic car, no longer
manufactured, had no actual connec-
ton between the engine and the
propeller shaft. The contact was by
means of magnetism. No magnetic
contact between the engine and pro-
peller shaft magnets allows the en-
gine to idle, while variations in the
magnetic intensity as controlled by
the driver allowed for the equivalent
of gear changes.

POLISH CAR WHILE WARM.
Easier and Safer Than When Body
Is Chilled.

While the car owner usually has
more time to take care of the car
when putting it away for the night
than when rushing to take it out in
the morning there is one feature
of car care which he must attend
TO before the car is taken out. at
least during the cold weather That
is the matter of polishing.
A cold body is very difficult to pol
ish, with variations for different
kinds of polish. Then, too, even if
it is Winter you are less likely to
spoil the finish on the hood by MAX
ing the mistake of polishing it when
it's hot.

The all-steel universal joints with sealed-in

After much suffering and bearing
up bravely for long time under many
serious complications which in many
ways affected the heart, Miss Nellie
Galloway, quietly closed her eyes in
death and passed On into the next
world.
Miss Galloway did not pass away at
her own home at $500 Rhodes ave
nue., but at the home of her brother
Mr.. Fred J. Galloway, 4849 Calumet
avenue.
Miss Galloway was one Of the most
brilliant and progressive members Of
the race in Chicago and she under
stood politics from a to z. The late
Judge John E. Owens, selected Miss
Galloway as the Progressive precinct
captain Of her precinct in the second
ward in 1918, and the years following,
Miss Galloway could always control
the majority Of the voters residing
in her precinct, who had unbounded
faith in her honesty of purpose and
ability and she was a prominent factor
in the political affairs in the second
ward.
Through the influence Of Hon. S. B.
Turner, she had the honor Of being
The broad ax., 1925-12-05

the first member Of the race to be
elevated to a responsible clerical posi-
ton in the Office Of the Auditor Of
Public Accounts for the State of illi-
nois and Hon. Andrew Russell, State
Auditor, declared openly and above
board that Miss Galloway was the
most proficient in every way and far
surpassed the other clerks connected
with his Office in Chicago.
Miss Galloway and the members Of
her family were among the oldest and
most highly respected members OF the
race, residing in Chattanooga, Tenn,
where she graduated from its high
school with much honor, later attend
ing Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.
She and her sister, Madam NJ Gala
way Byron, after the family had To-
Gated in Chicago, spent some years in
travelling through Europe.
AT the death Of their mother at
their home in this city some years
ago, Miss Nellie Galloway became the
head of the house and provided a
comfortable home for her sisters and
brothers until they gradually married
off and established homes for them
selves.

EVENING MISS LEF GAVE
A DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION AND
DANCE AT THE NATIONAL UNI
VERSITY OF MUSIC IN HONOR OF
THE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
COMPOSING THE CAST OF
"THAIS." CHOICE REFRESH
MENTS WERE SERVED THROUGH
OUT THE EVENING AND A ROYAL
GOOD TIME WAS ENJOYED BY
ALL WHO ATTENDED THE PLEAS
ANT AFFAIR.

The ides Of November have come
and passed on into eternity and
"Thais" has come to an end at the
Avenue Theater for it arrived at the
end OF the road last Sunday evening
1t played to fairly good houses each
evening, but the door receipts over and
above all the heavy expenses, some Of
them being unnecessary, for example,
4 Bill Of fifteen hundred dollars for bill
posting was contracted for which was
a reckless expenditure Of monuey for
At least one half Of that amount would
have been more than should have been
blown in in that direction. When We
take into consideration the fact that the
cast with two or three exceptions were
all amateurs and thousands Of dollars
expended for bill posting would not
and did not transform one Of them into
frst-class stars.
"Thais" was rendered or presented
for the benefit Of the National Univer-
sity OF Music, 4427 South Parkway,
Miss Pauline ]. Lee, president-founder
and as she is highly deserving Of great
credit for the wonderful work she Is
endeavoring to accomplish along mu-
sica1 lines We hope she will be able to
realize several thousand dollars for the
benefit OF the National University
Some Of the long headed managers
connected with the presentation Of
"Thais'' conceived the short-sighted
idea that three ladies could be re-
hearsed together to impersonate
"Thais" and that the six nights that
It was to run would Be divided up into
two nights for each one Of the three
bright shining lady stars and that the
best looking and the largest lady
should have the best Of the bargain
by being permitted to appear as
"Thais" at the special matinee on
Thursday afternoon, Thanksgiving
day, which. was her undoing, for the
man star Of That's" at the conclusion
of the special matinee came out Hat
footed and declared that he would not
play any further nor longer with the
lady in question, athat she dropped
too many Of her lines. that she did
not understand her parts in the play"
and the head star actor advanced a
thousand and one reasons why ne
should not play with her nor make
stage love to her at any stage Of the
game.
When It finally flashed across the
mind Of the lady that she was down
and out with the bosses Of the show
The broad ax., 1925-12-05

that she would not be permitted to
dance and kick lip her lovely heels
real high before the footlights; then,
ii is claimed, that the managers OF the
show eased in several white plain
Clothes policemen, whose duty it was to
prevent a disturbance being made by
the discarded "Thais" and to prevent
her from closing the Avenue Theater
on the two nights she was to appear
III her wonderful Interpretation of
That's
True to form, it seems very hard
for the best class of colored
people to conduct anything on
high order without having
serious Misunderstanding at the
end Of which they drag in the police
men; to bring disgrace on the whole
affair and everybody connected with it.
The third lady who was to appear
in "Thais" for two nights scented old
Mr.. Rat long ago and as she was able
to tell which way the wind generally
blew and as there was no one to re-
hearse her, she threw Up both hands
in holy horror and completely washed
her hands clean Of the whole unpleas-
ant affair
In the first place, the grave mis-
take was made in attempting to coach
three beautiful and charming ladies
to play the role Of "Thais" at the
same time for there is too much jeal-
ousy and back-biting on the part Of
the dear, sweet ladies to stand for
that, for at all times each one wants
to be the whole cheese.
The greatest Of all Of the unpardon-
able sins committed on the part Of the
managers Of the playhouse or show
was that the name Of Col. Roscoe
Conkling Simmons was printed all
over the program and that he would
speak few notes from The Week;
that he would be the highly honored
and the most distinguished guest Of
the production; the managers ought
to have sense enough tc understand
that whenever they shower their special
favors on one newspaper editor they
cannot reasonably expect to receive
much free advertising from the other
newspaper men.
In all honesty we want to say in the
plainest language At our command,
that we did not or have not received
one dime for advertising the show for
the benefit Of the National University
of Music for we are greatly interested
IN its success and future prosperity
and we only received three tickets to
enable Us to witness il.

FLETCHER-HAYDEN
Jury DISCHARGED
Unable to Reach Verdict in
Case of Accused Prison
Officials.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Ga. July 3.-The Gov
ernment's seven-day effort to convict
L. j. Fletcher and Thomas P. Hayden,
former attaches of the Atlanta Fed
eral Prison, of conspiring to receive
bribes from wealthy inmates of the
penal institution met defeat here yes
terday when a jury in United States
Court reported inability to reach
verdict and was discharged.
A mfstrial was ordered by Judge
Erwin after the jurymen had deliber-
ated "a hours. Throughout this period
the vote was eight for acquittal and
four for conviction, the foreman an
nounced.
Fletcher, former deputy warden of
the prison here, was acquitted of
bribery charges several months ago,
when Albert E. Sartain, deposed
prison warden, and his friend, Lau-
renee Riehl., both Of Columbus. Ohio,
were convicted on similar charges.
Fletcher in testimony denied the
Governments accusation of wrong
doing.
Hayden, formerly chaplain Of the
penitentiary here, did not go on the
witness stand.
The court ruled that both defendants
must receive the same verdict of the
jury, declaring that one man cannot
conspire alone.
Government counsel last night de-
clined to announce plans for further
procedure in the case. The accused
men remained at liberty under bonds.
