epidemic should be well in hand

losses of life

Ford Purchase Plan
Endorsed by Public

Families of moderate or limited
means, who heretofore hesitated
about purchasing cars, are coming
into the automobile buying field in
greater numbers than ever before,
if records of the Ford Motor Com
pany's Weekly Purchase Plan may
be taken as an indication.
The plan, launched not quite two
years ago, was started chiefly to
give such people an opportunity to
enjoy the benefits and pleasures Of
motor car transportation and those
taking advantage of it are growing
in numbers every day. 1t is simple,
the prospective purchaser making
weekly payments of an amount
best suited to his individual means,
these payments becoming part of a
bank account until such time as the
purchaser has sufficient sum to
take delivery of his car.
The records also show that there
are at present more than 10000
persons on the Weekly Purchase
Plan roll and that more than 10000
already have received their cars un-
de-. the plan.
These figures seem to bear out
predictions made when the plan was
inaugurated, that it would exert a
wide influence toward lessening ex-

Paris, Mar. ia directoire touch
in day costumes and Oriental influ-

Of the spring season Of the Paris
dress making establishments, now in
full swing.
Long haired mannequins have vir-
tually replaced the bobbed haired
variety at the grand openings of the
leading houses.
The lines are straight and skirts
flare. The long V and dropped stom-
ach effects are evident. Many Of
the models have the front cut in the
long V, or the ornamentation is ar
ranged with the V as the basis.
In the tailored costumes the col
ors incline to browns and the various
shades of beige, in which kasha
cloths are extensively employed.
Evening frocks and wraps run to
Oriental styles, many OF them hav-
ing the wrapped around effect fin

where sleeve might have been. But
sleeves, on the whole, appear to be in
the majority and they are more or
less fancy and curious in their cuts.
Some are open at the elbow and
puffed at the wrist. When sleeves
are absent, however, they disappear
completely. Some evening dresses
show deep armholcs, and in many
instances the bodices seem to be cut
away under the arms.

BUSINESS SELLS
SERVICE TODAY

VIM E. Lahr of Lair Motor Sales
Company stated in an interview to-
day:
I'VE are doing business here on
the theory that especially in the au-
tomotive field, he who serves best
profits most. II would mean more
to us to sell Bismarck the thought
that we are conscicntiously serving
the user Of automobile transportation
than merely to sell it lot of fine
new Willys-Overland Motor cars on
our salesroom floor.
Automobile transportation in any
community is a much bigger thing
than any single make or model of
car.
The man who bought car from us
last year or before is just as popular
in our place today as the man who
comes in to buy new car-and gets
the same courteous attention.
Satisfaction in ownership lasts rs
long us the car, and the older the
car is the more valuable to the owner
are the things we have provided here
to insure that satisfaction.

PEDESTRIANS

()FWAY0F AUTOS

Los Angeles, March l9,-The new
rattle ordinance recently made ell
active here gives pedestrians the
light Of way over motorists outside
IF the central traffic zone. One
foot desiring to cross a street at
nv intersection not under police
ontrol is supposed to signal his de-
ire by holding up his hand to APP
reaching motorists, whom the law
bliges to stop until the cross walk
clear.
Y The pedestrians, however, are held
q igorously to rules, in that they are
prohibited from crossing streets any
where except at corners. "Jaywalk-
FRS" are liable to arrest. In the
downtown congested districts the
root traffic is required to follow the
o,olice signals and move with vehicles.
NJ Violators of the ordinance, inciud-
ng "jaywalkers," are subject to
r;ine of $50 and jail sentence for
$ he first offense; IA 500 fine and ten
HAYS confinement for second vi0-
-eation, and for the third transgres-
Csion u fine Of $500 and six month
sjail sentence.
u A dozen pedestrians were arrested
ut he first few weeks of the new law.
lPolice officials look for more COM
plete cooperation when it is realiz-
ed that the regulation saves time and

bond issues to new record low levels
and checking rally in the securities
markets which at the start had shown
a tendency to ignore the st. Paul
crisis.
Selling wes accelerated by indica-
tons that the reorganization would
be fairly drastic, involving call up
on stockholders for cash payments
in exchange for new shares and the
probable replacement of refunding
bonds with new income bonds or
preferred shares. For the duration
of the receivership it is expected the
company will default on some of its
junior bond issues. including the re-
funding liens and puget sound fours,
thereby saving about $l2,00O,OOO
year in fixed charges, or about half
its present loans.
The roads mortgage secures about
$2OO,OO0,O0O bonds in the hands OF
the public and $66,O0O,000 pledged
