Today, General Motors itself employs
skilled automotive engineers to make It
easy for you to select your new car. These
men are working for yoa at its Proving
Ground-the 1a68-acre outdoor laboratory
in Michigan where every kind of car is
tested.
Before any General Motors car goes in
to production, fleet Of advance models is
constructed and sent to the Proving
Ground. There these advance cars must
meet every test-tests far harder than you
would make. Sometimes they are rebuilt,
redesigned, retested many times until they
are pronounced right, and ready to be put
into production. -
The tests involve speed, power, endur-
ance, braking, riding comfort, handling
case; fuel and oil economy; body strength
and safety every phase of car construc-
ton and performance.
Buying car is easy today-bccause
these men at the Proving Ground are work

WHY MEN GO WRONG

Why do men go wrong, de- spite all the pressure of custom, principle and precept? The answer is that it is because they surrender their freedom to ap- petite, malice, greed, fear or to the lower slave drivers of the senses. In other words it is be- cause they give in to some- thing of that kind.
 Nor, at the first offense, do they give in because the enemy is too strong. The first decis- ion that is the turning point of a life is not between abstract good and evil, or between "Yes" and .No." Any man can make such a decision, and every man who is all that a man should be must and does make it at some time in his life. By one answer he holds on to his right to make other like decisions; by the other he surrenders ever SO little that right. He has not lost it, for he can win back to it; but he has taken the first small step away from his human heritage of freedom. Nor does he ever completely lose it, unless the body itself becomes the ally of evil against him. He may be- come the literal slave to a sin gle vice, and yet free choice is offered him elsewhere by which to find a foothold to re- cOvery.
 Men go wrong when they hold their freedom too lightly. They are recovered and re- stored when they claim again their power to say "Yes" or "No." This power, above all things else, is the clue to the enigma of human dignity and responsibility.

We believe most everyone will give hearty assent to our conviction that that bird was made to be eaten. Mans pal ate says so in no uncertain manner and the very texture of the turkeys meat and the generous distribution of flight and dark" around his bones are confirmation strong al- most as Holy Writ. Then there is the turkeys proverb- ial pride, which warrants the inference that he puffs him. self up in vanity over his sur passing edibility. For what else could he be so vain?
 The turkeys life is a careful preparation for martyrdom in the cause of man. For months the bird is given to gormand- ize. Its pride also is fed, with the admiringly appraising glances of humans that are cast it's way. And to cap the climax of it's glory it has be- come identified with a holiday. In its apotheosis it is glorified. Culinary art exhausts itself in preparation of the bird for the table and it is honored with the richest plate in the closet. If the turkeys pride lives af- ter it, surely it is we'll repaid by the honors showered upon it in the kitchen and dining hall by a grateful nation.

WHAT MAKES A
 NEWSPAPER

A mistaken idea with some people is that the newspaper is an individual proposition. If they don't like the editor, they feel they must knock the pap CT and stand in the way of it's success whenever possible.
 They do not realize that the local paper is just as much a part of the community as the schools, churches or anything else. The newspaper is diff ferent from any other business, 1t is community affair. It is for service to the people and not for any individual.
 You may not like the editor and the editor may not love you any too well-but the pap CT he is responsible for does just as much for you as the ser vice rendered others. There is nothing personal with it, it is here for a purpose and that purpose is to do what good it can in every way it can and the greater the support of those it undertakes to serve the better service it can render.
 It takes the people to make a good newspaper and without the help of the people no one can run a successful newspap- CT. It requires money to oper- ate any kind of a business-ev- en the churches-and the pap CTS are no exception. For this reason they must have the fi- nancial support of the business interests, as we'll as the good will.
 Few newspaper publishers make more than a comfortable living and scarcely one is re- ported wealthy from money made in the newspaper busi- ness. They deserve to be trusted and to be understood by the people they serve.
 But it should be remembered that it is not the plant that makes the newspaper but the editor and his staff that is useful to the community and except in rare cases they are entitled to the fullest support the community can give. And liberal patronage is necessary if the paper is to be a credit to the town.

Senate, the chief OF stan OF the Army,
the chief of operations of the Navy,
the House of Representatives.
Citizens May Note Priority.
The sensitive and alarmed civilian
citizen will here note in the priority
accorded to a chief of staff of the
Army and to a chief Of operations of
the Navy over a member of the House
of Representatives, clear proof Of the
insistent and insidious undermining at
Washington of republican institutions.
Can 1t be that the leaders of our hired
professional military and naval forces
are supposed actually to precede, in
public professions and at dinner tables
the biennially elected spokesmen Of our
citizenry? The answer is yes.
Besides settling precedence, this book
also helpfully settles many other things,
such as, for instance:
When you send out invitations for
tea, if the invitations are hand-wrltten,
you omit from them the words "at
home" If, however, the invitations are
be included. It is manifest that no
amount of native natural good taste
would in itself enable a hostess to
divine and discern the existence of
such rules.
The defects of this book, If they may
be properly mentioned in the midst Of
its useful excellence, are three.
There seems to be n 1t only a hun
dred or so of such arbitrary Canons of
conduct as the one relating to the words
AT home" on tea invitations. These
be multiplied to thousands; and then
the lady who comes to Washington as
the wife Of statesman and starts in to
learn the rules of political hoStesSlng
could give her whole time to nothing
else.
Many Boards Overlooked.
In the second place, the authors en-
ergy fails after she has added 10 items
to the II items of social precedence
above reproduced. She accordingly
gives to Washington no guidance what
ever as to precedence for members Of
the Federal Trade Commission, the
United States Tariff Commission, the
United States Shipping Board, the
United States Veterans Bureau, the
Federal Radio Commission, the Federal
Farm Board and the National Screw
are left in promiscuous huddle at the
foot Of the table.
Nor, finally is a word said about "ofi-
cisl hostesSes." Mrs. Gam Is left un-
rescued and unfixed.
This reviewer hopes that these defects
presently will be remedied in a new
edition which will put everybody in
Washington in his right place and which
will contain at least 10000 intricate
rules for getting him there and which
will provide Washington hostesses with
their sole reading and which will
cost $40.

The lessons to be learned from the
book are of the most detailed value
The author states with unreserved as
Surance that the director of the Pan
American Union, who is DR.. Leo S.
Rowe, ranks below-though only just
below-the secretary Of the Smithsonian
Institution, who is DR.. Charles @. Abbot.
The instructed and no longer perpleXed
hostess according will place DR.. Abbot
at her right and DR.. Rowe, though in
a way he represents the majesty of a
score Of American republics, at her left,
in case, OF course, no member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
present.
1. c. C. Member Precedes Either.
A member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission would outrank both DR.
Rowe and DR.. Abbott. He himself, how
ever, would be retired to a secondary
seat If he should be confronted with a
member Of the Federal Reserve Board.
This last decision seems a bit unfair. IN
view of the fact that the Interstate
Commerce Commission was in existence
long before the Federal Reserve Board
and might be supposed to have acquired
some rights of social seniority, but the
author of the book is a lady of great
experience and of great firmness OF
character, and 1t is thought that the
members of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will find themselves unable
-often-to evade her ruling.
The author seems lacking in courage,
however, when she comes to discuss the
relative ranks of a Chief Justice in
comparison with an Ambassador and of
the Speaker of the House in comparison
with the President pro tempore of the
Senate She states. boldly enough. that
a Chief Justice ranks above an Ambas-
Sador and that the Speaker of the
House ranks above-quite far above
the President pro tempore Of the Sem
ate. but she then proceeds to give her
hostess readers the following timorous
advice:
Don't Ask Both to Dinner"
do not ask the Chief Justice and an
Ambassador to the same dinner"
And:
and the President pro tenuore of the
Senate to the same dinner"
This would seem to indicate. and II
does in truth indicate. the unfortunate
fact that our arbiters and arbitresses
of social elegence and propriety in
Washington may lead statesmen to
their dinner table but sometimes can
not make them sit down. DEGREES NAV
be printed regarding the priority OF
q Chief Justice to an Ambassador: but
there are few Washington hostesses
who, even ir O dream. would care tc
see themselves accomplishing that pri-
ority in practice. The consequence OF
their indecisiveness is that the oppor-
tunity Of Chief Justice to meet Am
bassadorS Is considerably narrowed.
The detailed precedence set down in

Transfer From Jail
Explained. .

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, November 80. Ralph
Fleagle. gray-haired reputed leader of
the Lamar bandit gang, condemned to
die on the gallows for the murder of
A. N. Parrish, president of the Lamar
Bank, suddenly was removed from the
county Jail here because he had offered
a bribe of $4,000 for his freedom, it
was learned today.
Fleagle was tricked by Warden
Thomas Clennan of the Denver County
Jail, but the ruse developed little
valuable information to the officials,
A Jail chef, Orville Newman, noticed,
on November IL, note between two
dirty dishes he had removed from
Fleagle's cell. Without reading the
note, he turned it over to Warden
Clennan. Clennan then carried on a
correspondence with Fleagle, who be-
lieved the notes were coming from
Newman.
Plan for Escape.
Another note, expressing irritation at
the delay in forming any plan for
escape, suggested one of the guards
be bought so an escape could be made
about pm. some night regarded by
Fleagle as the most logical time. In
this note. Fleagle made fiat offer of

$4,000 for his freedom. At this juno
ture Sheriff L. z. Alderman removed
the prisoner, under heavy guard, to
the Prowers County Jail at Lamar,
ostensibly to have Fleagle there to
appear when his motion for a new
trial was heard, but in reality to fruS-
trate any possibility Of his escaping.
Mystery attaching to Fleagles re-
noval Friday, when his appearance had
been delayed to December 1S. was
cleared with the announcement OF the
escape plot today.
Attitude Is Recalled.
Reflection of Fleagles attitude to-
ward the State was shown in one note.
Fleagle's counsel said he had been
promised life Imprisonment for his
part in confession and bringing about
arrest and conviction of two partners
in the murders and robbery. Howard L.
Royston and George j. Abshier. In

had got life imprisonment"
Fleagle is said by authorities to be

have a quarter of million dollars in
his name.
Plans Desperate Fight.
His action, officers said, have shown
repeatedly he intends to lavish this en-
tire fund in every effort to escape the
death penalty imposed on him.
A brother, Jake Fleagle, the fourth
member of the gang that swept into
Lamar in May, 1928, and killed two
men and robbed the First National
Bank there, IS still the object of o
Nationwide search by officers.
The gang. after killing Parrish, killed
his son and abducted a teller, later
killing him. , Kansas doctor was
