NASH CARS GET
HARD TESTS

The Importance Of thoroughly
testing automobiles before they are
shipped from factory is regarded
by Nash dealers as one Of the best
reasons why owners generally are
SO outspoken in their enthusiasm
of Nash cars. t
1t is an interesting fact that Nash
Is one of the few manufacturers to
give their cars a thorough road
test before they are driven to the
loading dock for shipment. Inspec-
tions and tests Of each part in the
making, also, are conducted through
out the course OF production, be.
ginning with daily Bfinnel test
for hardness Of metal and ending
with an individual test Of each
motor, prior to the final road test
just before shipment.
And long before new models or
contemplated mechanical refine.
ments are placed In production,
exhaustive tests are made by the
company's engineering department.
But the testing tracks, for the Tin.
ished product, which lie adjacent to
the factory buildings Of each Nash
plant in Kenosha, Racine and Mil
waukee, give mute testimony to the
infinite pains taken by Nash motors
to assure owners trouble-free per.
Torrance.
A staff of expert mechanics IL
maintained at each Of these tracks,
with the sole duty of thoroughly
road.testing every Nash car. These
men submit written reports on the
exact conditions Of each car. When
adjustments are found necessary
they are made on the spot, and no
car IL allowed to go forward for
shipment until it has received its
final o. X.
Although this extra road test
costs the Nash Motors Company a
large sum of money annually, 1t 10
considered a good investment be-
cause much Of the goodwill which
Nash cars enjoy is attributed to the
care with which they are inspected.

CALLS Of
MOTORISTS

Difficulties which automobile
owners call upon motor clubs to
solve are not all confined to being
stranded for lack of gas or having
the engine go dead several miles
from home. This is the story told
by figures complied for the annual
report of the District division of the
American Automobile Association.
Where to find an all-night drug
store and whether a certain brand
of baby food may be purchased at
the destination of proposed motor
tour were instances of strange
SOS appeals among the 25.500-odd
calls for emergency service received
to date during 1927.
That there are motorists as alb
sent.minded as the proverbial pro-
fessor also was evidenced in the
case of the motorist who couldn't
start the car and was found to be
using an apartment key to unlock
the ignition switch or that Of an
other autmobilist who put into the

The emergency road service Of
the District A. A. A. club responded
to approximately 1000 wreck calls
since the first of the year. The
number Of appeals for assistance,
which in normal weather average
75 a day, reached peak of 7S9 the
day Washington was hit by a tor

COURT TURNS DOWN
PLEA FOR RECEIVER
Petition Against Maier & Buttress
Filed by Creditors Is
Denied.

Chief Justice Mccoy has denied the
application for a receiver of the Maier
& Buttress Co., Inc, which operates
a wholesale hotel equipment and sup
ply depot at COS Pennsylvania avenue.
The petition was filed by the Frank
lin National Bank and two other
creditors who explained that the firm
owes 1855 creditors total of S21 900,
but has assets worth $4,000. 1t is
unable to borrow more money and
suits are threatened, the court is told.
Explaining why he denied the ap-
plication, the chief justice said: THE
effect of granting it would be merely
to hold off creditors who have a right
to realize on their claims and who
should not be called upon to wait for
payment until receiver has had an
opportunity, after conducting the
business of the corporation, to realize
sufficient to pay the creditors. The
usual experience in similar cases is
that the business is not run at a
profit and that eventually it is wound
up by the receiver"

TWO ROADS OPEN
IN CHAPLIN CASE
Settlement Out of Court May
Come Before Hearings
Open Monday.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, August 2o.-Two
roads TO a final deciSion-one senSa :
tional and long drawn out: the other
sfrab and brief divore court routine
today lay before the principals in
the marital battle of Charles Spencer
chaplin and his estranged girl-wlfe,
the former Iita Grey.
Decision on which route would be
taken in the public airing of the
wife's suit against the famous film
comedian next Monday depended on
whether n settlement was reached
out of court which would satisfy Mrs.
Chaplin's demands on the gilded COT
fers of the screen jester and whether
agreement on who should have the
chaplin baby boys came out or the
legal battle.
Agreement Is Rumored.
after attorneys representing both
domestic camps had remained behind
locked doors most of the day. new
reports that settlement already had
been reached were circulated and gen
orally were accepted as true. Sig
Natures were said already to have
Neen affixed and nothing remained but
approval of the trial court Monday.
Formal announcement of the settle
ment was expected to be made when
The case was called. after which Mrs.
chaplin would take the stand, forget
virtually all the accusations she made
against the comedian and ask for
divorce on grounds of cruelty or IN
compatibility, without opposition from
Chaplin.
Chaplin's counsel. headed by Gavin
AIcNab of San Francisco, stood pat
on their official notice that they were
ready to go to trial and attempt to
disprove the charges of cruelty.
penury, illicit relations with "promi-
nent motion picture actresses" and
dozens of other accusations, which
Mrs. Chaplin heaped on the come
dams head in her sensational COM
plant.
Settlement Held Probable.
From the wife's legal camp, in
charge of Mrs. Chaplin's uncle. Ed
win T. McMurray, the policy of Civ
ing out no information whatever was
strictly adhered to, but the impress
sion left with all was that settle
ment out of court was considered
very probable. Sums ranging from
Ss50,oO0 upward have been men,
toned in the rumors of settlement,
all of which agreed that the mother
was TO have the small sons of the
comedian.
Preparations at the Hall OF Records
TO accommodate the expected crowds
proceeded on the assumption that the
divorce suit trial would continue for
weeks. though the majority of court
attaches were arguing that half
DAYS hearing of an unconteSted SUIT
would end the Chaplin quarrel.
