 ALBANY, N. Y., May 2 When Mrs. Florence E. s. Knapp, sig. nally successful as dean of the college of home economies at Sy- racuse University. came to AL bany in 1925 as New York's first woman secretary of state she be- came an outstanding figure among those of her sex who had entered politics.
 One of her major duties as sec retary of state was the taking of a New York state census Her term ended at the beginning of last year, when the office became an appointiye one, and she re turned to her former post at Syra cuse University.
 Months after her retirement from office, her public service was brought sharply into the limelight by charges of the Cities Census Service, Inc, that she was guilty of malfeasance and irregularities in the conduct of the census of 1925.
 Out of an official hearing of these allegations, before a com missioner appointed by Gov. Smifh came criminal charges against Mrs. Knapp. The hearing was concluded, and the report was pre- pared for submission to the gov ernor, in whose hands it wa' placed last December.

 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 9. Senator James E. Watson's hopes of going to the Republican National Convention with Indi- ana's 33 votes pledged to him mounted this morning as addi- tional returns from yesterdays primary increased his lead over Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover in the Republican Presi- dential preference contest.
 The advantage that Hoover gained when the populous cen ters of Northern Indiana cast a heavy vote for him was wiped out during the night when down State returns swelled Senator Watson's total.

 The indications are that both the Republican and Democratic nominees for Governor will in all probability be selected in State conventions as the chances are slim that any of the ten Repub- lioan candidates will poll a clear majority of the votes in the pri- mary election.

"Only a short time ago the European

day he thinks of 1t pretty much as
necessity. Just as We do in the United
States. Motor cars are In demand
And while it is true that American
automobile manufacturers have sold
great numbers of cars in Europe, this
business has not been done at the ex-

Europe is Getting the Motor Habit,
Says Chrysler After Survey Abroad

american manufacturers can expect
keener competition from European COM
panies. The European manufacturer
has seen that the great bulk of Ameri-
can automobile exports is in cars SELL
ing for $3.50 and less. The result
is that two great European manufac-
turers are adopting the most progress
sive American production methods in
the effort to turn out cars in this class
of competitive quality and price.
Il have every confidence that the
time is coming when American manu-
facturers will export as many as
million cars annually These cars will
be sold because Of their superior quail
ties and their price. American motor
cars are IN demand today throughout
the world because they are better.
American manufacturers have set new
standards Of performance
Conditions in Europe are better now
than they have been since before the
World War" he said. England is
rapidly working out her labor difficult
ties: economic conditions in France
are improving day by day: Germany
has almost recovered herself industri-
ally: Italy is in good hands The only
area which offers possibilities for trou-
bic is the Balkans. but it is probable
that the major powers influence will

Better Production and More Service
Credited With Increased. Auto Value

Improved manufacturing conditions

bile manufacturer TO give the buye.
much more for his automobile dollar"
says Roy Faulkner, vice president Of the
Auburn Automobile Co.
There is infinitely better quality
built into the cars of today than those
OF generation ago. In addition to this
fact these cars are given much better
care than the cars Of that period.
Service, for this reason, Is extended
over much greater period Of years
and maintenance is of much higher
standard.
Twenty years ago the average driver
knew little more than the process en-
ployed in starting a car and its ma
nipulation while under locomotion. He
knew little or nothing about engine or
chassis fabrication. Radiator care, tire
imitation or battery attention were nnys-
terieS too intricate to get even casual
consideration.
"One OF the contributing factors TO-
ward better maintenance is the char
acter OF improved service stations
found in every section Of these United
States. Advanced methods Of car serv-
icing and improved service machinery

"Trath, Wisdom, acknowledgement look for these things,
erpect them of the men and uoomen who control the poaoer OF
the press.
MAY they eUer recognize their responsibilities. Keep the
trust that ace, who read and seek to learn, repOSe tn them"
These words taken from an advertisement Of the Inland
Empire Paper Company are a mighty charge to the men and
women of the newspaper profession who are having their And
annual convention here tomorrow and Saturday, as well as to
members of the profession everywhere in the land.
The press, if it is to keep its high place, must be fearless in
dealing with its public. The real newspaper man has no time
for "coored' news, unjust and dishonest attacks, mis-repre-
sensations. He realizes that the man behind the newspaper is
responsible for the statements his paper makes, and he dislikes
anything that hurls the banner of a newspaper to the dust, for
papers, like men, cannot escape the consequences of their deeds.
Newspapers must be honest with their readers. They are
the guardians of public morals. They must seek out fraul and
corruption. Dishonest merchants who work a hardship in a
community by failing to live up to standards of pure food laws,
cutting into the profits of honest men and shortweighting
the housewife who buys ''because it is cheaper have no right
to newspaper protection. Newspapers lose their value to a COM
munity when advertising can influence editorial comment.
