two reasons said Charles +. Barth.

My first reason is that since March
the Chevrolet production has remained
consistently at 10000 or more with
out the usual seasonablc fluctuations.
This indicates that the automobile in

in the Ninety fourth District Court

"Not only have you the authority to

He further stressed the guilt OF per

cealing stoles property by pointing out
the encouraging effect it has on juvc-

At the request of District Attorney

it clear to the grand jurors that Il

FIVE WOMEN FACE CHARGE.
He went into detail in explaining
to the jurors the growing practice OF
this crime and urged the jury TO con-

Henry Ford and his son, Edsel, are

Ever since their start as flying

About Flying.
And Bungling.
The Poor Riffs.

By Arthur Brisbane
Copyright. 1925 by Star Co :


0OMMANDER JOHN ROD
GERS, hero of the sea plane that
started for Hawaii and landed
in the Pacific ocean, shows loyalty
in defense of bungling superiors. But
he isn't convincing.
He says, "the secretary Of the
navy personally visited San Diego
and ordered the Bureau of Aero
nautics to give us anything we asked
for"
That was nice, but the secretary
of the navy doesn't know anything
about flying.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-10-05

HEREDITY, perhaps, explains the
! attitude of young Commander
Rodgers, whose ancestors have been
good fighters in the navy for genera
lions.
This earnest young officer opposes
a separate air force. The navy should
have its airplanes, "and navy fliers
should be trained with the fleet as an
Integral part of the navy"

THE third of the three famous
1 naval seaplanes tried to fly back
TO the factory where it was made and
landed against its will.
Unless the navy can find some bet

gers it will help itself by saying moth
eng.
President Coolidge will conclude
that something is wrong when his
Navy Department. with enormous ex-
pense, with skillful, courageous fly
ers, prepares three seaplanes for n
short 4O-hour trip to Hawaii, and
every one Of the three meets with dis
sster. That's too complete a failure
