 Levine wore an ordinary business suit and brought no baggage and no passport. He told his questioners that he might leave the plane in London and go back to France.
 Levine later was in touch with members of the air ministry and the customs, explaining to the latter why he arrived without the proper documentary credentials.
 Flew Without Map
 He told the Associated Press that he started from Le Bourget with fuel for three hours flight, but with out a map. He reached the channel without difficulty and then made out London, but for a time could not To- cate the Croydon field.
 Experts consider that, in view of his inexperience as a pilot, he made a good landing. especially as the stabilizer on the plane was not properly adjusted. They were some what alarmed until he came to earth safely.

IORDER CHILDREN
HOME FOR LUNCH
Board Of Education Passes
Resolution Fixing Dinner
Carrying Zone.

At meeting of the Board oil
Education on Thursday evening the
following resolution was passed:
''Whearas it has been brought TO
the attention of the Board of Edu-
cation that pupils living within
very close proximity to the Somers
Point, public school are in the habit
of bringing their noon luncheon,
which practice interferes with the
health of said pupils and the best
discipline on the school grounds;
and whereas, this Board of Educat-
ion fully believes that all children
residing within reasonable dis
lance of the school should go to
their homes for luncheon, not only
believing that a short walk in the
open would materially benefit a
child's health but would also bring
better mental and physical con
dition for the work of the after
noon session
Therefore, be is resolved, that
all pupils residing within the fol
lowing zone bounded are required
to so home for their luncheon;
From point one hundred feet
northwardly from the intersection
of Bethel road with Groveland ave-
nue., and runniH3 thence in an east
ward direction and parallel with
Groveland avenue 10 Bay avenue;
southwardly in Bay avenue to Har-
Dor Lane; eastwardly in Harbor
Lane 10 Great Egg Harbor bay;
southwardly along the edge OF said
bay to the Somers Point-0cean
City boulevard; westward in the
direct line to the intersection of
Eighth street with New Jersey ave
nue.; northward along Eighth
street to Rhode Island avenue
1T is further resolved that the
principal of the school be notified
of the provisions of the resolution
and be instructed to enforce same
that it be in the province of the
principal to grant temporary relief
from the provision of this resolut
ion written application of parent
or guardian"

.STUDEBAKER HAS
REPEAT sales
Many Owners, Pleased With
Car, Purchase Again,
Miller Declares.

Significant figures showing the
high percentage of repeat business
secured by Studebaker have been
received from the factory by Bob
Miller, local Studebaker dealer,
Based on the sales of Studebaker
cars purchased on the Budget Pay
men Plan through the Industrial
Acceptance Corporation, concern
which finances Studebaker
purchases exclusively, 80 per cent
of the Studebaker cars purchased
on this basis between May and
October, inclusive, were bought by
those who We're already Studebaker
owners. In other words. out of
every three new purchasers of
Studebaker cars, one was former
Studebaker owner.
MANY of us are familiar with
the old saying, The purity of a
well is best attested by the faith
of those who draw from 1t repeat
edly,' said Mr. Miller in comment
ing on the figures. l consider these
figures highly significant for they
show the satisfaction Studebaker
ars deliver to their owners. Having
received good service from their
cars, it is only natural that a
Studebaker owner should buy an
other Studebaker when he is in the
market for a new car.
Almost any article can be sold
the first time, but it is the repeat
order that counts. If repeat sales
are to be made, the product must
be worth the money asked and as
represented. No automobile owner
will buy another model of a car
that hasn't given him the service
he expects.
