AUTO CHANGES
EVEN CLOTHES
OF The IRAMPS
ts t.sft

one of the best proofs that clothes
do not make the man is offered by
local police and deputy sheriffs who
have to deal with the growing serious
ness Of the problem Of the perpetual,
professional hobo or bum. In days of
old the mark of hobo was on his
clothes. They were worn and tattered
and torn. They were dirty, wrinkled
and old.
The man wearing them seldom, if
ever, shaved and he had traditional
distaste for bath. The hobo of to-
day wears good clothes. He is clean
shaven and neatly attired. He even
shines his shoes and combs his hair
and many of them show signs of hay-
ing washed
That the coming Of the automobile
as a common means Of transportation
would have had any effect on the hobo
would not have been foreseen by any
one 20 years ago, but it is reality
now. The hobo has learned that if he
is clean and we'll dressed and looks
like d respectable traveller he can get
rides around the world in passing cars
that would not even pause for his fore
father of the tattered garment.
Local officers have learned from
men they have arrested here that the
new, type of bum who makes his living
by begging has developed new sys-
tenn. The old style was to seek the
residence section Of city and go from
door to back door asking for some
thing to eat and telling sad tales about
the starving family and lack OF work
Nov the bum who has learned his
lesson properly walks the main streets
and goes into butcher shops and bak-
cries and grocery stores. He tells the
truth in way when he asks the pro-
prietor for a bit of meat or can Of
beans or loaf Of bread. He tells a
good story and smiles and is very
polite and very thankful and before
he has gone seven blocks he has four
men in the street carrying the gifts he
has secured
When load of provisions is thus
available the gang, retires to some Sc
cluded spot near the outskirts of the
city or the railroad yards where they

Washington, -Jan. G.-F-A IA
vorable reply to Secretary Kcllogg's S
note to France on December %, sug-
gesting an international covenant
deploring war as a means Of settling
International disputes, was received
today at the French embassy. The
note will be delivered to the state

The French reply accepts the
American proposal that the eventual
agreement, instead Of being restrict
Cd to the United States I'd France
alone, be extended to embrace at
least the major European countries
and Is many as will be willing to
subscribe to it.
Foreign Minister BRAND suggest
ed in the note, however, that the
American proposal be amended to
condem aggressive war" as a
means Of national policy rather than
mere "war" since the later would
also embrace defensive hostilities.
In general, the tone Of the reply
q favorable and embassy officials
expect it to lead rapidly to a final

GASOLINE now
TESTS HIGHER
THAN REQUIRED
Huge Surplus of Crude Oil in
Southwest Proves Benefit
to N. ID. MOtOrist

Storage of millions of barrels of
crude oil in the southwest and other
oil producing regions has enabled
the average North Dakota automo-
bile owner to start his car more
easily on cold mornings, according
to c. S. Ladd, chief Of the oil di-
vision of the state regulatory de-
partmcnt here.
The reason, Ladd said, IS that the
quality Of gasoline received in
North Dakota has never been high
er, or nearly as high, as it has beeh
this winter, and this fact he traces
back to the huge surplus Of crude
oil.
In an effort to move their prod
uct, refiners are making gasoline Of
higher quality now than they have
for years past, he said. With the
raw product comparatively cheap
they can afford to be prodigal in its
use. The result, as seen in Ladd's
laboratory, is an unusually high
quality Of gasoline for use as motor
fuel.
Gasoline now being sold in the
state should not only start motors
easier but should give better results
generally, Ladd said. As long IS
the state law remains as it is auto
mobile operators Of this state will
never be forced to use low-grade
fuel, he pointed out, but that now
being sold surpasses the legal re-
quirements in numerous ways. The
law requires tho regulatory depart
ment to test every shipment Of gas,
olinc received in. the state to see
that it complies with the stste
standard.
Although the quality Is high, the
quantity Of gasoline being received
in the state Is the lowest IN years,

TWO DESERTERS
FROM MARINES
HELP SANDING
Officials Believe They Are
Teaching Rebels to Shoot To
Save Own Lives

Washington, Jan. 6.-(R-Two
deserters from the United States
marines, captured by the rebel Gen.
cral Sandino as they sought to
escape from the Nicaraguan war
zone, arc believed by some marine
officers in Nicaragua to have turned
their military training to account by
helping in the instruction of the
rebel troops.
An official report, relaycd from
the front to marine corps headquar-
ters here, said it was believed that
the two men agreed to teach Sam
dino's soldiers how to shoot under a
threat that they themselves would
go before a rebel firing squad if
they refused.
Marine intelligence officers said
they had no proof beyond the report
which had come to them from the
marine officers in Nicaragua. They
pointed out, however, that in their
recent attacks on the American
forces, resulting in q mounting list
of American casualties, the SANDING
troops have shown unusual famil-
iarity with marine crops methods.
The reports reaching Managua,
officers here said, recited that the
two men were captured by Sandino
as they attempted to reach the
Honduran border. It was said that
Sandino offered them the alterna-
tive of immediate execution or
agreeing to assist him.
Marine corps records show that
since August, five men have been
absent without leave in Nicaragua.
Two Of the men reported to ! col
umn Of marines at San Labino on
August 2 after havii.f- been absent
since the latter part Of June. The
two men said they had been held
prisoners by Sandino and had been
released.
The other three men have not
been heard Of.
