his story, under the fire of cross-exami-

In his testimony Harris challenged
stories of prosecution witnesses that
Lowery was killed as he walked I'M

slain during the raid, and attacked the

AUTOS AND BETTER HOMES

The automobile is usually given the creditor the
Dlame-for helping to disintegrate the American home
Iou often read that people do care as much now
Tor their home life they used because they rely on
the auto to take them away from it; that home is
simply place to sleep, and that the auto is the chief
cause
Mr. Albert R. Erskne president of the Studebaker
corporation, however, it otherwise In his opinion
the automobile is contributing and more each year
70 make the country country of home-lovers.
ms rather novel theory is presented by him in an
article IN the current issue of the North American Re-
view He sets forth with argument that runs some
thing like this:
People who care for homes are rapidly moving from
congested city districts into the suburbs and into the
outlying open country, where they rear their chill
dren in healthy out-ofdoor surroundings Census fig
ures show that the percentage of suburban population
OF all OF our big cities is rapidly increasing while the
strictly urban population in many cases. is actually
on the decline.
This is made possible by the automobile The auto
mobile permits the family to live as far as 10
miles away from his work, maintaining home in the
place ne chooses and rearing his family where he de-
sires but 20 years ago the ordinary mddlecless city
dweller had either to crowd his family into an apart
ment or go chlldess-and many took the latter
coures
Mr.. Erskine points out that in some suburbs-nota-
bly, Oak Park and Evanston Chicago suburbs-the
birth rate is far above the ordinary city rate The
suburbs are the home of who want families and
children; and the automobile has made them practi-
cal.

RAT LEPROSY
IS SIMILAR TO
HUMAN DISEASE

That leprous-like disease in
rats is actually the same as lep-

DIR. Walker explains that not
