out the show to correspond with the

spective buyers will show unusual
strength of mind if they can resist
the double urge of the well-dreSsed
salesman and the well-made car.
A record crowd filled the great
hall Thursday evening and many

his victory. The affair took on the
aspect of a reception, with the
Governor and Mrs. Jackson in the
receiving line.

the Statehouse, but there also was
a delegation from his native Upton
County. This was headed by Frank
E. and z. A. Watson, r. G.. and R.
E. Foster, who were schoolmates of
the Governor in his boyhood days
in Normandy, Ind.
Frank Wilson was spokesman for
the party and expressed his open
admiration for Upton County's
great man."
Given Start by Religion.
"I'll tell you," Wilson addressed
the Statehouse reporters. jackson
never amounted to much until he
got religion. He was just big
barefooted country boy.
Il remember when he got con-
verified. He was about twenty then
and he was baptized down at the
river, having been moved by the
preaching of an evangelist at a re-
viva1 we were having there.
Right after he got religion, he
began taking an interest in public
affairs. Before long he was prac-
ticing law at Newcastle and later
was prosecutor and judge. Then he
was Secretary. of State, a major in
the World War, and now our Gov
ernor."
Henry Roberts, State sales agent,
made the rounds of the various de-
partments and urged attendance at
the reception. Dozens filed in, the

Governor Is Praised
Bowman made a speech congrat-
ulating the Governor on his "splen-
did administration, the best in 25
years" Jackson responded by say
ing he was sorry the trial didn't
proceed and prove his entire limo
cence, that he was overruled in this
wish by his lawyers, that his CO.
defendants, Robert I. Marsh and
George V. Coffin, are also innocent.
It always have tried to conduct
my life and affairs in a gentlemanly
manner" he declared. Il want to
thank all of you for your loyalty to
me during this attack of vicious
propaganda.
The Governor would introduce his
wife by saying. This is my little
pal" and many of those who shook
hands said, God bless you"

Doris Mcdonald is waiting dawn

band, George Mcdonald, she is to
be hanged for the murder of a
taxi driver.
There is no hope for the husband.
1t is generally believed that there is
little. if any, for the girl Only a
reprieve from Viscount Willingdon
Governor General of Canada, can
save her.
She Doesn't Care
Doris Mcdonald, who used to
boast that she vas tough but
who now is moody and acquiescent,
doesn't care. From day to day she
sits in her cell and mourns-not for
herself, but for her husband.
IF George dies, want to die
too" she has told her guardians
time and again. II don't want to
live. without him. If he swings, let
me swing too
The couple arrived in Montreal
on July Is last year. A man giving
the name of Fred Palmer accom-
panied them. They were check
forgers and confidence tricksters,
but murder wasn't in their line
then.
Mcdonald posed as a commander
in the U. S. Navy. When they dis
appeared two days later, they left
behind a trail of unpaid bills ana
false notes.
They left In Packard car driv-

where they were married. McDon-
aid signed the name of Bouchard as
"Bourgert.'
Mrs. Mcdonald was dressed in a
chemise with rug for a skirt. They
we're refused admission to the States
and returned to Montreal, where
they abandonea the car.
The next day Bouchard's body
was found. He had been shot twice

Bouchard's body.

so convincing that they did not

Expert Test Franklin
 No.KnOck Gasoline

Head Of Chemistry Department at Waslsyan University reports on New yfanklin No-Knock Gasoline:
 Interpreting the results Of an- alysss and engine tests Of this gaso- lias, we find 1t has an anti-knock value substantially equivalent to the vesy best anti.knocA gasolines. and far superior to the large majority of 0uch fuels. It can be used efficiently h the highest compression engines now being sold. This gasoline will net leave poisonous deposits in the engine. will not pit the valves, cor rode metal parts. or injurs the ftn- isA of the body of the car. It is . well-balanced fuel. being sufficiently volatile to start cold motor in winter. afford a quick getaway in traffic. show exceptional power. and yield large mileage per gallon.
 This gasoline has been blended fer the Rackliffe Oil Company under our supervision from regular pe- troleum products, without the addi- tion of harmful, foreign substances of any kind. From the results of the laboratory examination and from practical road tests. we believe this gasoline to be in general superior to any fuel available at the present time in the territory served by this company.
 Wesleyan University Is making a thorough study of motor fuels. Some q the interesting pieces of appar- atus. used in this work, are the latest typo of single cylinder. vari- able compression gasoline engine for determining the anti-knock charac- teristics, power production. and heating sffects of gasoline: elec- trically heated distillation appara- tus; colorimeters: vapor pressure and oorrosion testing devises. wis., cosimeter flash point refrigeration. and carbon residue apparatus: and facilities for the complete chemical analysis sf sils and gasoltnes.
