Car Designing Is In

with the increased building of
good roads in all portions of the
country, and with motorists more and
more extending the range OF their
automobile riding, many new prob

according to A. VanDerZee, General
Sales Manager of the Plymouth Mo-
tor Corporation.
"In the early days Of the automo-
bile when it was still novelty, the
question asked by the prospective pur-
chaser was will it rum" he says.
"The real problem that confronted the
automobile engineers then, was to
build the car so it would run. Such
features as comfort, economy OF oper-
alton, dependability, stamina, speed
and reliability were unthought OF as
qualities to be desired in an auto
mobile. The public was skeptical and
the engineers had to build their cars

Yellowstone Park, Wyo., Sept, Il.
The mysterious acoustic phenom-
enon over Yellowstone and Shoshone
lakes, recorded rarely but nevertha-
less internationally during the past "A
years, has again been heard this sum
mer on two succeeding days. The
descriptions Of the weird sounds vary.
To some they are musical. Others
describe them as resembling the
whirring sound made by the wings
Of many birds flying through the air,
and to yet another they resemble
means.
Among the latest to hear the mys-
FERROUS noises are Harold P. Fabian,
republican national committeeman
from the state of Utah, and Edward
E. Ogstn assistant chief ranger OF
Yellowstone. While fishing on Grebo
lake with the breeze blowing in a
northerly direction, they heard sounds
similar to those coming from an air
plane, originating in the east, pass
ing over the lake, and dying in the
west. The following day Chef Ranger
George Baggley, while standing
within 200 yards of the shore Of Lake
Yellowstone, heard the sounds, SINH
lar to those of many birds in flight,
occur at three different times.
Back in 1885, John H. Renshawe
topographic engineer of the United
States geological survey, recorded
hearing the mysterious sounds when
he had supply camp on the west
shore of the lake about halfway be-
tween the present location of the lake
hotel and the lake outlet. Mr.. Rem
shave states that he frequently heard
the sound, which has been called mu-
sic. but that to him it was somewhat
more like a moan This sound, he
says, seemed to come from ho'
spring on the bank of the lake on the
opposite shore, and was dependent up
on the state Of the atmosphere ant
the direction Of the wind. On ap
preaching the spring, however, thu
only sound heard was the hiss OF es
Gaping steam.
While he was crossing the LAKE
in boat with three assistants on'
morning a strong wind came up ant
the boat was struck by lightning

while the others were knocked un
conscious. Mr.. Renshawe states tina

FOLLOWS LION

What Bert Mannix, Helmville

than made up in valor recently when
he followed marauding mountain

into the cave until he saw the lions
eyes flashing dangerously in the dark.
He opened fire with pistol and the
first shot killed the beast. The an

HICOX HILL ROAD
CLOSED FOR REPAIRS

The Hocox hill road, between Rock
Creek and the Clearcreek school house
is closed to traffic, according to Coun-
ty Surveyor Bowman, as the result
of dirt slide about 100 feet in length
and from four to twelve feet in depth,
caused by irrigation on top of the

LOVE SCENES TAKE EXIT

The ominous report which has come from Hollywood that love scenes are to be eliminated from the talllies strikes us as being q startling development. AS evcryon" knows. love making heretofore has been the prime ingredient of almost every film. It has been found Vir- tually impossible to cultivate public interest" at the box office unless films at frequent intervals were spattercd with fervent love-makns.
 But since the films have gone talkie it has been the conversation which accompany the love scenes that has hurt. Almost everyOn" has had q pet idea as to what con- vcrsation should accompany low" episode. and so long as the films were silent everyone could imagine what was said according to his or her lights. and the hectic. bus mess would be satisfactory to all. Let the hero say T love you' in one film: and in the next seen by Mr. and Mrs. Public the hero says the same words; and the fol- lowing week the same thing is gaid-imagine such talk week after week and there is little doubt that by the third time Mr. and Mrs. Public begin to smlicr, if not laugh out loud,

Long Island, which includes such rapidly growing cities as Brooklyn, Long Island City and a horde of smaller municipalities which jut into one another so closely as to from one compact entity, has gain ed much experience in what it means 70 be served by one trans portation interest.
 The Long Island railroad penc- trates throughout the island, but il is the only railroad there. It is owned Dy the Pennsylvania rail- road. too. which in the minds of some ought 10 insure good service. But the service isn't half as good as if there were two or three com pcting railroads in the territory, as is the case over in New Jersey,
 Just now another inquiry has been begun in New York into the service on the Long Island railroad. The investigation is sponsored jointly by the Public Service Commission and the Transit Commission. It will last for q while. After it is over there will be another voluminous report and the service will be just about as unsatisfactory as before.
 Being served by one railroad has it's drawbacks. They are self-cNident.

\ GOOD WORD FOR BOSTON

Criticize her as one will, ridiculc her and hold her up as censor- ridden community, yet after all as the Boston Herald aptly remarks on Christmas Eve there is no place like Boston.
 No other city in the nation, per haps on the globe. takes Christmas Eve as seriously. The weather We'd nesday night was perfect in Boston for the type of festivities that it is no excess of imagination to state ran rampant" From Auburndale. out on the outskirts of Common wealth avenue, right down to Beacon Hill, the scenes were Of a type that one wishes were the custom every where. Thousands of people wer! out. singing carols and other songs; they walked about with candles and lanterns and many were dressed ill the costumes of the early settlers, "Opcn house" prcdominated virtu- ally everywhere, and it was a poor hiker indeed who did not get through with half a dozen calls upon friends and strangers, partaking of gor- Seous hospitality. It is on Christmas
 Eve that some Of the most cXClu sivc homes in the Back Bay are open to virtually all callers of re- spectability. and no one departs without munching on the goodies distributed in bounteous profusion.
 To the residents of almost all other places, as the Boston Herald again aptly remarks, it is difficult
 to understand the. spirit of Boston 1 on Christmas Eve. Nothing like it l happens elsewhere. and we un- 1 hesitatingly declare that it is to the | city's credit. Others can copy if they will. but it takes generations to i achieve the cultivation.

CHRISTMAS TRADE REPORTS

It seems that the stock marked crash did not put a crimp into al! the Christmas trade after all Re- ports from the leading trading centers seem to concur that the shock incident to the collapse o1 tho market didn't last people con- tinucd in the mood to celebrate Christmas in the usual manner.
 This substantiatcs what has been said regarding the fundamental stability of the nations consuming power. Perhaps there were thous- ands of people who. on account of losses in stocks, decided they would be more economical than they had intended to bc. But it is evident that a large percentage of these concluded that paper profit losses, after all, were not so very impor- t&nt. Anyway whatever the reason the Christmas trade of 1929 showed a strong finish in many cities and especially in such lines that enabled our many millions of family Santas to do their stunts in a most cco- nomical manner.
 This Was q Christmas season where many dollars were spent, but instead of the dollars going out in Jumps they were divided up into smaller purchasing units. Possibly some of the luxury trades suffered in the process, while most of the other lines tended to gain.
 Commercially considered. accord ing 10 quite comprehensive reports. it has been different Christmas than some of those preceding; but by and large the main point is that the stock crash did not deal ser ious injury to the Christmas spirit

Determination Of high flyers in New York and elsewhere 10 enjoy Christmas in a rational manner IS credited to the recent stock crash Night clubs. one learns, are vir- 'tually deserted just now; and the price of liquor is low and the supply considerable. Yet, despite such in- ducements a larger proportion o1 the populace than ever before are remaining economical and sane, so far as the giddy night life is con cerned, during the holidays. Of course. there will be an exception New Years Eve, but even that may not be what it used 10 be.
