Driving Car Best Way
to Determine Merits

How should an automobilist judge
car today?
"Get behind it and drive It," Is the
answer given by a general sales man
ager of the Oakland Motor Car COM
pany.
He sums up the reasons for this
answer as follows:
"The public Is accustomed to Judge
IN automobile too much today by hear
say. Some of these opinions reflect an
old judgment on car and do not re-
fleet the Judgment that would be made
on the car If the prospective purchaser
actually got behind the car today and
judged for himself.
Automobile shows have been devel-
oped for just this purpose to keep the
public informed as to the develop
ments of each make of car. Each
manufacturer makes changes, addf-
tions and improvements in his car
some more, some less. The problem is
FOR the automobilist himself to decide
for himself just how much "more
automobile" each manufacturer is CIV
ing to the public each year.
This can be decided in but one
way-ride in the car. After alt how
the car rides is the most important
thing. Has it feel of life. of power
Does it accelerate quickly? Is the
mechanism easy to handle? Is the car
comfortable to ride In? Will it stand
the gaff of rough travel?
at is the only test of car today.
For after all, motorists judgment
of car after he has ridden in it is
apt to pretty thoroughly reflect the
quality of the car"

TRY TO BREAK JAIL
Three Prisoners in New Haven In- stitution Detected Just Before They Made Getaway Attempt.

New Haven. Sept. il R-Three prisoners at the New Haven county jail yesterday were on the point of attempting an escape " hen their plans were revealed. It was made known today and the prison officers found in readiness 8 coll of rope and several bars made removable.
 The men were Thomas Williams, held for trial as an automobile thief. James Henderson, serving a sentence for carrying concealed weapons. and Edward J. Young, serving a sentence for theft.
 Henderson Is said to have made known the escape plans. It was found that bars at a window stop in the elevator shaft had been made removable by breakage of the brick work in which they were set. A rope had been stolen in the fac tory and was hidden under a board nearby.
 Williams was the elevator op- orator. He had hung his coat in the elevator, an unusual thing, and this lead to questioning of several prisoners. Williams denied knowl- edge of the plan to escape. He has been given solitary confinement.

 The decision which soon Is to be given by Secretary Jardine was dis cussed at todays cabinet meeting and formal announcement is ex- pected soon. The point on which the decision turned was whether there actually had been any overt act in violation of the law up to this time.
 Attorney General Sargent was asked by Mir. Jardine for an opinion, but replied that the decision was up to the agricultural department. which is charged with administra- ton of the packers and stock yards law.
 The late Secretary Wallace issued tho original complaint, which all lHSGu tlIdI tHe llSISeF "oulu result in elimination of Morris 65 Co. from the field of competition and would tend toward monopoly, This al- legation the Armour and Morris in- terests denied.

EXPERT ATTACKS
 k WILBUR'S STAND
German Dirisible Commander Talks on Shenandoah Disaster

Lakehurst, N. J.. Sept, Il R,-Re- iteratins his previously expressed conviction that the reduction of the safety valve system from IS to eight valves was tha primary cause of the disaster which overlook the dirigi- hle Shenandoah. Captain Anton Heinsn, the German dirigible expert in a telegram to Secretary of the Navy Wilbur. made public today, challenged the possibility of any truthfully convincing testimony that the gas bags were intact when the ship broke up."
 Captain Heinen's telegram was in answer to a statement issued by tho secretary of the navy in which he said 1t was manifest that the acci- dent to the Shenndoah was in no wise due to the change in the escape valves; that the gas bags did not ex- plode. and that the Shenandoah struck . small, unanticipated tor nado or line squall which she could not avoid.
 'Nevsr did say. as 1t seems to appear in your statement, that the gas bag did explode Capt. Henine telesraphed. "A simple extended rip in one or more of the bags would release the dangerous over-pressure, but certainly not before the struc- ture was dangerously strained tear ing, for instance, the diagonal brac- ings from their frail fastenings that in Admiral pyson's report were righttully claimed to be essential for the structural integrity of the ship.
 Doubtless such rip would de- velop in the upper part Of the bag where the highest pressure would be. and where no human eye could see It."
 Taking exception of the secre- tarys explanations of the cause of the wreck, Captain Heinen said; "Mr. Secretary the explanation which I gave you, and uphold, and which either openly or from fear of con sequences, secretly, is backed up by everybody knowing sufficiently about airshIps in tho air, Is simpler and easier to see than you will have it."
 Due to the inexcusably handicap ped condition in which the Shenan- doah had to fly, it would not even have needed small unanticipated tornado or line squall which she could not avoid If on ships pre-
 nsly fighting their way through
 Ierse conditions anybody would 4tase dared to tamper with this main safety device, the way 1t was done here, the history of airships certain ly would have been that of even more appalling disasters, and I for ore, would not be here to tell the story"
 Capt, Heinen asked Secretary Will bur mot to follow the easy road of least resistance and to maneuver the poor, mistreated Shenandoah into the role of the accused, but to see that all of us who are entrusted with responsibilities stand squarely up to face them If the necessity arises"
 '1f nobody else dares to stand up and to advocate, I will and never will cease to do so, no matter what the consequences may be to my per sonal welfare" he said.
