More Than Half
Autos Sold on Time

1t has been commonly estimated
that about IS per cent of all cars
are sold on the instalment plan.
Research by Edwin r. A. SeIg-
man, McVikar, professor of political
economy, Columbia University, dis
closes the fact that only between
IS per cent or so per cent are so
financed. He estimates that in the
year 1926 when the total volume OF
retail sales Of all commodities, gen.
orally called articles OF consump-
ton, amounted to 80 billion dollars
the volume of instalment sales in all
these goods amounted to four and
one-haR billion dollars. or in other
words to about IL per cent of the

John N. WHY'S stands as one of
the best known figures in the In
dustry.
Three men in the automobile in.
dustry have remained in constant
service for a period equal to that
of Mr.. WHY'S, as the heads of the
organizations which bear their
name. The other two are Henry
Ford and II. Fl. Franklin. Each
Of the three has been conspicuous
for inaugurating movements in de-
sign and construction which were
original and apart from the gem
eral development.
Each of the three has influenced
the entire growth OF the industry
and today, each of the three re-
mains outstanding for the work
which they have done and which
they are now continuing.

All these cars were designed for
Hudson in Hollywood, Calf, by a
firm which has specialized in spe-
cial, exclusive bodies. none of which
ever have been offered at less than
$500. A few months ago a number
of these de luxe bodies were pur-
chased by Hudson officials, and
others, for their personal use. So
different were they from models
current at the time that Hudson
determined on them as the basis for
a special line of cars on the 127-
inch chassis.
Swift And Stylish
These custom bodies are built to
express what Hudson terms 'the
vogue of tomorrow" The whole
contour Of the car is designed to
express fleetness and modern style
with a sport motive. Color schemes
and mouldings are more daring than
in Hudson's usual models. The
front window pillars are slender in
outline. while the outer rim of the
windshield is brightly nickel-plated.
Similarly. the window supports at
the top of the doors are unusually
trim and are nickel-finished. This
is said to improve vision from

The collapse of a large trust
company in New York had jeols-
ardized his deposit. There was
nothing TO do but to get action and
get it quick. He arrived in the
central Indiana city the Saturday
after Thanksgiving. The factory
men had gone home. There were
parts for less than three cars.
There was no money TO meet the
factory payroll.
The situation was flaught with
immediate disaster. But with his
characteristic resourcefulness in
situations which have since called
for action as immediate and as
essential as this, John n. WHY'S,
the Elmira automobile dealer, put
the factory on its feet.
Early in 1908 the WHY'S Over
land Company was organized and.
Mr.. WHY'S stepped from a motor
car dealer to president of the new
company.
This company produced 465 cars

NOONAN MERGER
SUIT DISMISSED
ON W.R. &E.PLEA
Justice Gordon Rules Old La
Toilette Law Voided by
More Recent Act.
M'AD00 AND CLAGGETT
ARE PRESENT IN COURT
Minority Stockholders Lawyers
May Appeal Decision Be-
fore October.

Justice Peyton Gordon in Equity
Division 2 today sustained the motion
OF the Washington Railway & Electric
Co. to dismiss the suit for injunction
brought by John j. Noonan, minority
stockholder Of the company, against the
North American Co. and the local COM
pany to prevent the proposed merger
OF the traction companies. Attorneys
William q. johnson and Joseph D. Sui
hvan, counsel for Noonan, gave notice
OF intention TO appeal when the formal
order OF dismissal has been signed.
Noonan relied on the La Toilette act.
commonly known as the antf-merger
act, which placed an inhibition on the
ownership OF stock Of local traction
companies by foreign corporations, and
contended that the ownership Of more
than so per cent Of the stock Of the
Washington Railway & Electric Co. By
the North American Co. Of New York
IS Illegal and the voting Of that stock
In favor OF merger was unlawful.
Holds Provisions NuiIified.
Attorneys John s. Barbour and s. r
Bowen, for the local traction company.
urged that the latest enactment Of Con-
greSs, which Is called the merger act.
removed the inhibitions Of the La FOL
lette act, and that 1t Is now lawful for
outside corporations to own stock In
local traction companies.
Justice Gordon adopted this view of
the law and remarked that CONGRESS,
IN using the word any In reference
to corporations from which the tnhfbi-
ton had been removed, meant lust
what 1t said and intended to include
the removal Of inhibition from owner
ship IN traction companies.
May Get Appeal
Attorneys William Gibbs McAdoo ana
Brice Claggett, for the North American
Co, were present in court when Justice
Gordon rendered his opinion, but have
not entered formal appearance for
their client IN the case.
Noonan's lawyers may get the appeal
into the appellate court By next Octo-
Der. and may have an opinion from that
tribunal before Congress meets in De-
cember.

SCHOOL SUMMONS
Law May interfere With Mar
rage OF Youthful
EIOpers.

The school laws of the District
threaten TO interfere with the plans OF
William Beall. l7-year-old bridegroom, of
633 r street northeast, and his
wife, who formerly was Miss Mildred
Watson, i4-year-oid seventh grade stu
dent. by compelling her TO return 10 her
studies The couple eioped and were
married In Rockville Md. Sunday, and
then, still keeping the wedding secret,
disappeared from their homes Wednes-
day on a belated honeymoon.
Beall declared this morning that his
wife viii keep house for him and not

School. but the law DEGREES differently.
No matter whether girl under l6
years be married, she must go 10 school
unless some unusual condition inter-
feres, says the school attendance law OF
the District Being IA years old. she Is
eligible for work permit, which would
allow her to be occupied In a gainful
employment, but school authorities
maintain that the law docs not specify
the work OF housewife as "gainfui en-
ployment." so the young lady must go
back 10 her studies, 1t Is thought.
