For raw, elemental, universal
emotion the Snyder murder

to6ay, is one of the most I'M
pOrtant in years.

Scripps-Howard papers have
employed:
DIR. WILL DURANT, author
Of THE Story of Philosophy"
which became a best seller"
because 1t can be understood by
the man i'm the street, to write
a philosophical analysis Of the
procedure. The first of these
articles will be printed Tuesday.
MAURINE WATKINS, for
merly of Indianapolis, author
OF the play Chicago" to write
her impressions of the trial in
the same vein as her playwrit-
ing.
Miss Watkins started a good
deal of trouble i'm censorship
circles and shocked the Yale
divinity dean through her han
ding of a love shooting in her
satirical comedy. She sees life
as it is and her cOverage of
the Snyder case will be deeply
interesting to thousands of
Times readers. The Snyder trial
principals are in some respect
similar 20 the characters i'm

The first of Miss Watkins
articles appears herewith.
In addition The Times will
carry United Press dispatches
of Paul White upon the routine

AGAIN BREAKS RECORD
Chevrolet Company Built Nearly 30.
 900 Cars In January

Responding to a winter demand for cars unprecedented in the history of the company. the Chevrolet Motor Company in January again shatter- ed all production records for that month by building 73,676 units, al most 30,000 cars more than were made in January of 1926.
 The January, 1926 production in it's turn almost tripled the production of January, 1925.
 Under the tentative production schedule for February the company will be prepared to make a total of s4, 900 units, which would establish a new monthly production record in the history of the company, exceeding even the record monthly output in September, 1926, of 81,l58 cars.
 The heavy winter production is the result of demand for "the most beau tiful car in Chevrolet history" which Chevrolet buyers have made upon the company's dealers since the announce ment of lower prices and numerous refnements in the entire Chevrolet line.

STATE BOARD RAISES
 BOUNTY ON COSHAWkS

The State Board of Fisheries and Game has sent out circular letter of information which states that the bounty on goshawks has been increas- ed to S3. The letter says that quite a few of these birds have been receiv- ed but that the board learns that many of them when killed have been thrown away. Ii is desirable that the birds be saved for examination.
 The goshawks are usually caught pursuing, killing or eating partridges and that is the reason why a campaign to exterminate them is being waged and why the bounty fee has been rais- ed, holding good on all goshawks kill ed within the state until further notice or not later than April 1. In adei- ton to the bounty the board will pay the cost of postage and mailing but require proof that the birds were killed within the state.
