MoraOian Service Has
Become Historic Event

The Easter services in the Moravfan
church at Bethlehem, Pa. are most
unique and interesting. The ceremo-
MES begin at daybreak when the from
bone choir of the church plays chorals
at the intersections of streets, warn
ing the citizens to rise and attend
services. Then a simple; musical serv-
ice Is held in the church, after which
the worshipers, preceded by the min
listers and the choir march in process
sion to the cemetery. Here a hollow
square Is formed, with the minis
tiers and the choir In the center, and
a serviceiis held, consisting of music,
prayer and ritual relative to the res
direction. This cemetery was select
ed by Count Zinzendorf. the founder
of the Moravian colony, in 1742, and
in it the dead lie side by side, men on
one side and women on the other, the
idea being that they are equal in. death
as they were in life. Many Indian
converts are buried there, including
John Schoop, the famous Last Of the
Mohicans." Many of the original mark
ers have been destroyed by time and
weather, but replicas Of these have
been carefully prepared and set in po-
'sition, giving a complete history Of the
centre life of the colony. The from
bone choir dates back to the early
days Of the church. when, it is related,
some Indians, contemplating mas
sacre Of the INHABITANTS, heard the
sounds of the trombones, and aban-
doned their ihtention, thinking that
the Great Spirit had spoken to warn
the Moravians of the danger.

Edeluean, a ~

Billy Carlson picked up the phone
rather nervously and called his wife.
After a few moments of aimless con-
versation he gulped a little and
brought it out: "Vera, I've just had a
wire from mother; she and dad are
coming to spend Easter with u.s.
Vera Carlson did not answer for q
moment. then her voice came through
the wire cold and cutting: you know,
Billy, we just can't have them now;
you will have to wire them to come
some other time. With the Gordons
coming to dinner, you know that 1t
would be just impossible to have them
you know how they are-why, it
would just spoil everything"
BILLY swallowed hard as he listened,
but he tried to keep his voice cool
as he answered: "yera, it's not like
you to talk that way. Mother and father
are all right-a bit old-fashioned, I'll
confess, but as lovable as they can be.
They would be heartbroken If I wired
them not to GOMEZ just can't do 1t,
even for you. Let's wait and talk
things over when l come home"
Billy knew that Vera had set her
whole heart on making a success of
their Easter dinner. She had asked
the Gordons, who were considered the
best and smartest people in Lonsdale,
and had been more than fattered at
their acceptance. For the past week
she had talked about ii so much--only
last night she had told him she felt
everything was going to be lovely.
He fretted all day at the office and
dreaded facing Vera after her out
burst Of the morning, but even this
did not prepare him for the storm Of
tears and protests that met him when
he went home. He had never seen
Vera like this before-it amazed and
shocked him-he had always felt that

speed early and quickly, dropping
the clutch back instantly; second. re-
tarding the spark without waiting for
the engine to knock.
Now this speed changing on hills is
extremely easy to doom type
writer. In machine it is difficult
until one gets the knack. Hence hill
climbing is an art. Once this art
is mastered there is nothing to 1t.
Good gear changing consists in
equating the peripheral velocity OF
the wheels about to be engaged while
the gear lever is in neutral and then
engaging the gear. If by good judg-
ment, you gage 1t right, the gear goes
in silently, but If not quite right 1t
goes in with little grunt.
To minimize this grunt, you gently
press the gears together and feel
them-tickle them. so to speak-so
that when they do mesh the lever
falls in. That is the secret. What
might be successful climb can be
spoiled by a clumsy change of gears.
Every second of time Is very import
ant if the grade is steep and the car
is losing Roadway.
If you wish to be an expert in hill
climbing you must practice.
IL Is not an uncommon Sight 10 see
a driver fail at his first attempt in
going over the top. while at his sec
ond attempt the grade is easily made.
But it is the drivers fault-not that
of the car.
Better practice now because sooner
or later you will want to make a tour
to the West coast and then you'll dis
cover that what the natives call hills
out there are the biggest mountains
that you ever saw.

Dodge Brothers
New Prices

New prices on, Dodge Brothers
Motor cars have been the subject of
widespread comment since 1t was
made known that a sweeping reduc-
ton would be made. The reductions
cover the entire list of Dodge Broth
ers cars and range from $205 on the
Special Type A Sedan to SIS on the
Commercial Cars and chassis.
The new and old prices on the diff
ferent types of cars follows:
Touring car, new price $795. old
price. 1915; roadster, new price, $795,
Old price $S55; Type B Sedan. new
price $685.. old price. $1045; Special
Type A Sedan, new price $1075. old
price, $3.50; coupe, new price. $S45.
old price, $500; panel commercial
car. new price, 1886, old price, $3.50;
$50. old price, $685.; chassis, new
price, $685.. old price. $3.50.
The word that Dodge Brothers
were about to make marked reduc-
tions in the prices of all their cars
was something of bombshell to the
automobile industry. coming as it did
at the time when several manu-
facturers were known to be prepar-
ing announcements OF advanced
prices all along the line. In fact, it
is understood that some makers had
scheduled advertising advising the
public of the necessity for higher
prices, but these announcements
were suddenly cancelled upon publi-
cation of Dodge Brothers reductions.
The situation which many automo-
bile manufacturers have found in
surmountable. except through in
creased prices, has been brought
about by the jump in tire costs due
to tremendous advances in rubber
prices. Automobile manufacturers
who planned making this increased
tire cost the basis of higher prices
found themselves in a quandary,
however, as result Of the Dodge
Brothers announcement.
In commenting on Dodge Brothers
reductions, Robert C. Graham. vice.

DAVENPORT, Iowa, Feb. Ralph A
BogIe and his wife, Eda Bogie, are in
Jail following recommendation last
night by a coroner's jury that the death
Of their foster-son, Harold Barker

The foster parents were beneficiaries
under a $4,000 insurance policy on his

1t was at first believed the boy was
asphyxiated His body was found in a
room adjoining the kitchen in the Bogie
home The theory was advanced that he
placed a kettle of potatoes on gas
range and that the water boiled over,
extinguishing the flame.
Authorities also have indicated an in
qury might be started into the sudden
death in 1922 Of Mrs. Bogie's former
husband, James Healey, a prominent
Muscatine county farmer. Healey died

POLL TOTAL IS
CLOSE TO 65S5
$500 Paid Poll Taxes is
Largest Number in
County History

Poll tax payments in Cameron county
were slightly larger than estimated
yesterday, a check today made after
completion of the work of issuing all
the receipts, showed. A total of $500
poll taxes were paid, and 285 certifi-
Gates of exemption issued, making to-
tai of $685.
There will probably be some minor
changes in the total payments. due to
some cancellations which have already
been made, and others that will prob
ably be made as the poll list of the
county is made out, it was announced
this morning at the office Of County
Tax Collector j. ]. Fox.
This figure is larger by a. reast 400
than the largest total of poll tax pay
ments and exemptions in the past, 5100
in 1928, being the largest before this
year.
Hidalgo county estimates the total
payments and exemptions there at 10,-
600, which is larger by close to 5000
than the record in any previous year.
