" "Alimony Martyr
Starts 4th Year
In California Jail
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
WILLOWS. Calf, July 2s.-Sam-
uel W. Reid, who has been called
northern California's "alimony mar
tyr" today began his fourth year in
jail for refusal to pay his wife the
sum ordered by the court after she
had been granted q divorce.
Reid exhibited the same de-
gree of defiance that he did before
he was committed to Jail. He re-
fused to pay alimony until his minor
child has been given into the Gus
tody of some one other than his
former wife
Superior Judge Claude r. Purkitt,
who held Reid in contempt of court
for the refusal. gave the imprisoned
man an opportunity to obtain a
modification of the order by paying
the sums due and then applying for
a change in the order.
Il will stay in Jail rather than
yield to conditions repugnant to me,
he said In refusing the proposal.

FALCON COUPE

Knight Engined Six
Is Favorite Among
Professionals

With the coming Of the fall
months and its inclement weather,
dealers in Falcon-knight skies
throughout the country reported a
marked demand for the Falcon
Knight coupe model. Reports to
sales executives Of the Falcon Mo-
tors corporation indicated that there
is a noticeable trend to the Falcon
knight six coupe by doctors and
commercial men because of the out
standing advantages OF this model
which Is equipped with a six-cylindei
knight sleeve-valve engine.
This coupe model is said TO be ar
ideal type for doctors and CONNER
cial travellers who employ a motor
car. The striking advantage Of the
Falcon-knight six lies in its sleeve
valve power plant noted for its long
er period If life and its outstanding
ability 70 give continuous service
over a long period Of years without
the necessity Of occasional layups
for repairs.

What is regarded as n Of the

The modulator. despite its techni-

Consisting Of a relatively light
