l929: Performance
that yox canAave
Today

THIRTY miles south of Pitts
l. burgh. the old National High
way climbs up over the backbone
of the Alleghenys - the famous
Uniontown Hill. Twisting and turn
ing necessarily, the main ascent
wriggles its two miles of length up
an even thousand feet
It's a heartbreaker-this Union
town Hill. A hill where reputa-
tions are made or hopes are blasted.
For no one can cheat at Uniontown,
there are no level stretches on
which a car can catch its breath.
Only steady, steady pulling every
foot of the way from bottom to
summit will carry you up Union
town. And it's the hill of hills to
which all motordom goes for the
final proof of a cars fitness after
the easier tests on private proving
grounds have been completed.
To this hill, REQ engineers went
recently to test the power of the
new Flying Cloud, to prove again
what 1929 performance means.
With the Flying Cloud, went a
number of thecountry's sbestknown
automobiles. 1t was to be 1929
against 1923.
There was a six, the greatest seller
in its class, another which has won
a unique record for increasing
popularity. third of recognized
great engine power, and still an
other considerably higher in price
than the others.

Speed Too!

4iere assuredly is proof of greater
power, smoother power, steadier
power, the power that levels hills,
thepowerthat others will tryto give
you year from today-in 1929.
And it is power that gives great
speed on the straightaway. In speed
trials, the FLYING Cloud showed a
clean pair of heels to all of the
other cars tested. The car that
came the closest to the Flying Cloud
in the hill-climbing tests was tho
slowest on the level, while the car
that was second to the FLYING Cloud
in top speed had been the slowest
in hill climbing.
The new REQ Flying Cloud thus
proves itself in both speed and hill
climbing - the real tests of auto
mobile efficiency. Others may
achieve such efficiency in another
year, but for today only the Flying
Cloud gives YOU such demonstrated
brilliance, such proved power. Try
the new Flying Cloud for yourself.
1t will prove to you how far in
advance it is.

their course as a landing field in view OF
the fact that they intend to land a plane
the coming week and also the week

to exceed, $500 was authorized for a
band to furnish music for a dance at the

100000 Refinery laid
Waste by Blast and

BIZ United Press
HAVANA, Cuba, April 6. - The
Belox refinery and tank farm of the
Sinclair Oil Company - recently
built-was damaged by fire early to-
day with a loss that may reach
100000.
An explosion preceded the fire
and could be felt all along Havana
Harbor. Flames, however, were
confined to the tank farm.
One woman was killed and early
reports said many firemen and vol
unteer fire fighters we're injured.
The explosion occurred shortly
after 8 p m. Thursday night.
The blast was heard for miles and
soon flames we're shooting into the
air many hundred feet. The entire
tank farm seemed ablaze and all
fire fighting apparatus from Havana
was sent to the refinery.
The u. S. S. Wyoming was in the
harbor Members of the crew were
dispatched to aid in fighting the
flames which for time threatened
to spread. Many volunteers and
soldiers were sent to aid the fire
men.
One gasoline tank was shot into
the harbor in many fragments and

men fought the blaze and finally
brought it under control shortly
after a. m. At that time, however,
the fire was still burning. There was
no way to check on the actual dam

The refinery was destroyed in the
cyclone of 1926 and reconstruction
had just been completed at cost
of .S3O00,00O. 1t was considered

BIZ Times special

BY ItmcS special
EVANSVILLE, Ind, April 6.-Dr.
Earl E. Harper, installed March 49,
as president of Evansville college,
and one of the youngest men in
the United States holding such a
position, has already clashed with
seven patriotic organizations here.
DR.. Harper is a foe of war and all
things connected with it, including
military training of youth in educa-
tional institutions.
Speaking from the pulpit Of the
Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church
here, DR.. Harper urged Christians
to link themselves in all meekness
to oppose war and all that is con-
ducive to it, including military
training of our youth"
A week later DR.. Harper received
letter of protest, signed by rep
resentatives Of the American
Legion, Reserve Officers Associa-
ton, Spanish-American War veter-
ans, D. A. r., United Daughters of
the Confederacy, Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the G. A. r.
The letter suggested that perhaps
DR.. Harper had been misquoted.
But he replied by saying he had
been quoted correctly; that his re-
marks at the church stated his con-
victions then and now. He expects
shortly to reply more fully in an
open letter

United Press staff Correspondent

ALBANY, N. Y, April 6.-The
first woman chosen for a high cleo
tive office in the State of New York
today was expected to be arraigned
on grand jury indictments which
charge her with four felonies and
two misdemeanors While in office.
Mrs. Florence E. S. Knapp, former

six counts by a grand jury late
Thursday and it was indicated she
would surrender today for arraign-
ment. In event she does not sur
render an order for her arrest will
be given.
Indictments Sub Rosa
The counts on which Mrs Knapp
was indicted were kept secret pend
ing arraignment, but it was under
stood they included falsifying ex-
pense accounts; appropriating pro-
ceeds of the State for her own use,
and assisting a notary public in
false certification of the sexpense
vouchers.
1t took only eight hours for the
BIdIlQ jury 70 ulu4CG MIS-. hlldpp.
More than a score Of witnesses were
called.
The indictments came as the
climax to the amazing term in
Office of New York States first

Office. All the charges against her
were based on her control of the
81 100000 State census fund in 1925.
Governor Orders Probe

criminal action against Mrs. Knapp
and several of her aids in Office.
District Attorney Herrick was given

case over to Attorney General AL
