Having a large amount of money
which one does not own but which
one cannot rid oneself of may cause
serious problems. This is the diff

a roaring comedy in his latest pic

The problem is one of honesty.

young American, who is imbued
with the theory that honesty is the
best policy. However, he assists, I'M
Willingly, in bank holdup and then
upon learning of how the money
has been stolen, he endeavors to re-
turn it to its rightful owners.
Because the president of the bank
believes Dix to be a crazy million

hands on the money at the proper

surprisingly funny situations.

1T has come to the notice of this
bureau that some garages, filling sta

ANTI-FREEZE COMPOUND
REQUIREMENTS GIVEN
Points Given to Aid Motorists in
Preserving Appearance of
Automobiles.

With automobile manufacturers pay
ing increasing attention to the beautify-
ing of Car bodies, through the use of
cleaning colored lacquer finishes, mo-
florists should take care in using anti
freeze compounds that the compound
which they pour into their radiator does
not affect the paint or varnish of their
car injuriously.
This is but one Of nine points which
the careful motorists will check in
taking steps to protect his car against
Winter chill. Here are the basic re-
quirements essential to an ideal freeze
prevention element:
Whatever compound you use should
give complete protection; it should not
boil away: it must do no damage to the
cooling system; it should not heat ZIP
your motor; it should not affect the
paint or varnish of your car; 1t should
be non-inf1ammable; it should be odor-
less; it should not became viscous at
low temperatures nor decompose at
high temperatures, and watch out Tor
tendency of compounds to deteriorate.
The right compounds should never de-
teriorate

MOST STATES SEEK
GREATER ROAD AID
IS of 48 Reply in Affirmative
to Question on Federal
Assistance.

Increased annual appropriations for
Federal aid are necessary II highway
construction is to keep abreast of auto
mobile registrations, in the opinion of
IS Of the 20 States, according to an
analysis Of missionaries sent to State
highway commissioners by the legiS.a-
tive department. or the american Motor
lists Association
An Affirmative answer was received
to the following question from IS of
the States: do you favor an increase
in the present amount Of Federal aid
appropriation, the annual appropria-
000?" Replies from Is States indicated
that the State highway officials Of those
States do not favor increased Federal
aid.
In the opinion of those favoring
additional Federal aid, the consensus
was that $l00.000,00o annually should
be appropriated for this purpose. Re
plies from five States, however, placed
the minimum at $l50,000,000 annually,
or twice the present authorization for
1929, 1880 and 1881 of $75,000,o 900 an
nually.
But seven States were of the opinion
that the Federal Government should
contribute funds toward improvement
OF the secondary highway systems Of
the States, although practically all of
the Western States voiced their favor
OF the Oddie-Colton bill. which provides
special funds for certain States having
large tracts of public domain.
A total of $733 100000 has been ap-
propriated to date by the Federal Gov
eminent under the Federal aid pro-
gram, inaugurated in 1916. The fol-
lowing tabulation shows the amounts
for each year, expressed in terms of

Fifty men, distinguished for their

to control the great dynamic forces OF
advertising in the greatest industry In

reached some interesting conclusions at
a recent meeting in Cleveland.
Five striking facts, revealing future
scope for American merchandising
methods which will revolutionize the
business of the world, were summarized
by Edward S. Jordan, president IN the
automotive world and chairman Of this
group. representing the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce.
"A great change is taking place In
the methods of doing business all over
the face of the EARTH" said Jordan,

for us to do business as easily with the
man in Timbuktu or Spitzbergen as we
do in our own home town. Modern adj
vertising, production, financing and
credit systems, developed in America,
aided by lightning speed of contact by
radio and airplane, will give us domi-
nance over the great world markets.
Good roads, now being planned and

COST OF OPERATING
BUSES IS COMPILED
EXPENSE IL Cents Per Seat Pei
Mile, While Auto Is
2.6 Cents.

The average cost Of operating busses
In the United States In 1927 was II
cents per seat for every mile, as COM
pared to 2.6 cents per seat for prlvate
automobiles, according to the BUS olVi-
sion of the American Automobile Asso-
citation.
Automobile Association bus division is
based on a study of motor bus oper-
ating costs of 66 representative COM
panies which carried more than AGO.
100000 passengers at an average rare
of 1o1 cents.
Fares constituted about 95 per cent
of the total revenue of the average
company in this group, while 1t PAID
$3,700 for its insurance and almost
SGT, 500 or 1.6 cents per bus mile for
taxes.
Although bus transportation IS In
It's infancy, with the average age OF
these 66 companies at four years, II
is stated, "the miles of route covered
by the common carrier motor bus ex-
ceeds by per cent the route mileage
of the railroads and by 463 per cent
that of the electric railways"
The American Automobile Associa-
ton bus division says this tremendous
and sudden populariZation of the bus
which has been due to an increasing
demand for public conveyance by auto
mobile has led to widespread need
on the part of operators, manufac-
turers, f1nanciers, as well as regulatory
and legislative bodies, for data on the
costs of operation.
The statement by the bus division
continues:
Steady progress has been made ir
adapting the motor bus to the trans
portation needs of the country Bus
registration has reached a total OF
about $4,000 units. This total is not
large compared with automobile regis
tration, but to appreciate its full sig.

BAL TIMORE AUTOMOBILE
THEFTS SHOW DECREASE
2,225 Cars Stolen in First Ten
Months of Year, Against 2,37S
in 1927.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, November 10.--Auto-
mobile thievery in the city has shown
slight decrease each month this
year, according to the records Of the
Police Department. There were 2,225
machines stolen during the first 10
months of this year. For the same
period in 1927 the number of thefts
were 2,378.
Police Commissioner Gather said
that If every automobile was equipped
with a real theft-proof device and the
owner saw to it that the device was
locked when he left the car unattended,
automobile thievery would be reduced.
Automobile thefts in Baltimore. the
police officials say, are approximately
so per cent less than other large cities.
1t Is the joy-rider-the fellow who
borrows a car for few hours and then
abandons 1t when the gasoline tank is
empty-who is giving the most trouble
these days, the police claim.
