Public Eager To See
The New-Day Jewett

That the motoring public well
comes an automobile designed ex-
pressly to meet present-day needs
has been proved by the interest
local motorists have shown in the
New-Day Jewett, the uItra-modern
product of the Paige-Detroit Mo
tor Car company, soon to be ex-
hibited by w. n Hobson at the
SWastika Service Station.
The New-Day Jewett reveals
many factors introduced by the
makers to provide an automobile
to meet modern motoring condi-
tiOns, ease today's traffic strains,
and tighten the burdens of the own
er and driver.
Quick response to control is pro
vided by a combination OF high
power engine hydraulic four-wheel
brakes, and easy steering. The
six cylinder engine, Of typical
Jewett design, enables the driver
to attain legal speed in a few sec
Onds, while the brakes permit him
TO take advantage of every open
ing in traffic with the assurance
that the car can be brought to a
standstill almost instantly. yet
smoothly. Ball-bearing steering,
combined with a very short turn
ing radius, gives an agility of ac-
ton that enables the car to evade
jams in congested traffic and to
turn around readily in narrow
streets.
Comfort and ease are part of the
design, both in the chassis and the
body. Unusually long springs 36
inches front and "a inches rear,
exactly the same length as in the
costlier Jewetts of the past, assure
soft riding, while the low-hung
chassis, with the resultant low Gen.
ter of gravity, enables the car to
cling close to the road. In the
bodies, perfected steel construction
permits improvements that are OBJ
vious even on the most casual in

pleted involved the opening of three
new zone offices in key cities and
the erection of specially designed
sales and service buildings at four
other zone points.
The new zone offices are located
at New York City, Cleveland, Ohio.
and Omaha, Nebraska. The offices
are in the heart of the automo-
bile districts in their respective
cities.
The aew zone distribution build
ings are at Des AIoines, Iowa. Mn

All Of the buildings have direct
railroad freight service, facilitating
the receiving of cars and parts and
their re-shipment to dealers thru
out the zones.
The drive-away stocks of cars
are so arranged that they may be
started enroute within a few min
utes after a call is received from
any dealer in the zone. The sup
plies of parts are compactly ar
ranged in special stock rooms ad-
joining the packing and shipping
departments This arrangement
insures equally quick action on re-
quests for parts.
Besides providing ample space
for stocks Of cars and parts, the
new buildings contain zone offices.
assembly rooms for meetings of the
zone organizations, and Chevrolet
service schools where dealers shop
experts are given special training
with especially-designed Chevrolet
precision tools. There now are 20
of these schools, the number hav-
ing been doubled during 1925.

Synopsis of Play
In order to propose to Daphne,
Ned Pembroke must first obtain the
love letters which he wrote to Vera
Vernon, a show girl in Boston.
He sends George Howell, a lawyer
and husband of Daphne's sister.
Howell, newly wed, tells his wife
that business takes him to Cleve-
land. He is successful, but on his
return trip he unknoWlngly grabs
the grip which happens to belong
to the thief who stole ruby neck
lace from Ned Pembroke's mother,
who lives in Boston. King, the
thief, trails Howell to his home.
The grip Howell brought is open
ed by his wife and aunt, who finds
the Jewels and think Howell is the
thief. Daphne accuses Ned Of be-
ing the thief Susie, the maid,
hides the jewels in her stocking.
She notices burglars tools in the
grip, so calls the police, who guard
the house.
Meanwhile, King is in a desper-
ate hurry to get the jewels back.
He sees the jewels in Susie's stock
ing while he is hiding behind the
piano Pretending he is detec-
tive, he eXtorts the jewels from her
and is about to leave when Mrs.
Pembroke enters. Still pretending
to be a detective, he gives the jew
els and love letters to Mrs. Penn

Football is Over

Football is over. Basketball is
under way and what the Maroon
and White griddies failed to ac-
complish, the Cogers hope to do.
So far as material is concerned,
much the same situation exists
experienced material is at prem
ium. There is however, one letter
man on the squad, so that if the
team fails to make good showing
some of the loyal alumni can say
that it is not due to lack Of ex-
perienced men.
The squad as a whole is green,
but willing to work and learn and
unless dispirited by reminiscing
stars, who are expert in words, if
not in fact, should improve stead
lily as the season progresses. The
first test of it's strength comes
Tuesday night, December %, when
it meets Leupp Indians at the
Washington gym.
Leupp has defeated an alumni
team from st. Johns, two out of
three games. This team was the
one that won championship hon
ors last year, so the Indians to beat
them must be exceedingly fast and
good.
The local team will be picked
from Chase, Scott, Murphy, Hatha-
way, Shields, Scorse, Lancaster,
Gallegos, Garcia, Christianson, Fus-
sci and Ceballos. The game will
start promptly at s o'clock.

his office along the Frank Paul eff

also increased about that much.

This was not done and the stories
would not die down. Following
an article published in this paper
on July 18th concerning the school

port that we might publish it in

have come to a show down-and
either Lewis should face the par.

matters, or else he should have tn,

pastures new. This mess must
now be cleaned up.
