LUNCHEON FOR
DEALERS GIVEN
BY MARMON
Seventy-Five Indiana and
Illinois Distributors Are
Guests.

More than seventy-fve Indiana
and Illinois Marmon dealers were
guests of the Indianapolis sales
branch of the Marrnon Motor Car
Company yesterday afternoon at a
luncheon at the Indianapolis Ath-
letic Club.
Jack Hendricks Jr., general man
ager of the local branch, presided
as POSTMASTER and introduced fac
tory and branch officials to the Wis
itors.
The principal speaker was G. M.
Williams, president of the Marmon
company, who summarized achieve
ments of the company in the last
three years and outlined plans for
the coming months, during which
production and sales of Marmon
straight-eights will be increased to
the highest point in the company's
history.
Close Contact Stressed
The tremendous increase in Mar
mon sales during 1923 and the rise
of the company to a position as one
of the largest manufacturers of
straight eight automobiles in the
world was attributed by Williams to
the close contact between factory
and sales representatives.
Second speaker was Thomas e.
Jarrard, general sales director of
the Marmon company, who told
dealers of the success which Mar
mon has met at automobile shows
throughout the country this year.
J. M. Peterson, manager of the
factory dealers financial depart
ment, explained Marmon finance
plans, stating that the increased
use of the time method of purchas-
ing has necessitated numerous de-
velopments in this field, including
lower costs to the buyer for this
service.
Plans Are Explained
Plans for use of Marmon dealers
to assist owners in lowering oper-
ating and maintenance costs were
explained by R. L. Albaugh of the
factory service department.
At the close of the meeting the
dealers were taken on tour of in
spection of the Marmon factory and
later visited the local automobile
show. A number of the visitors will
remain in indianapolis for several

tory officials, it was said yesterday

There are several ways to acquire
a high polish, but one Of the leading
WAYS is to be a show car. All day
long the man with the clean cloth is
busy.
The most exclusive exhibit in the
show belongs to John Morgan.
John has Harley Davidson motor
cycles and that's all there is. There
isn't any more.
There are no special days at this
show. Every day is for everybody
and order blanks all look alike. This
is in keeping with the motto OF the
Indianapolis Automobile Trade AS
sociation-all cars are good cars to-
day.
All the raccoon coat boys have
plenty to look at in this show. There
are twenty-three roadsters, six tour
ing cars and two speedsters. Not to
speak of eighteen trucks, in case you
are interested.
And will Mr.. John Wolf of the
Stutz Company kindly refrain from
swiping flowers for his buttonhole?
Take care of this, will you, Mr..
Spindler, they're your flowers.
1t might be mentioned that the
show really is beautiful. One
dealer who has been to all the
leading shows for several season
remarked the other day that In
dianapOIis had the finest retail
automobile show in the country.
He considered every element of
display.
There are 229 automobiles in the
show. In addition to these pas
senger jobs, there are eighteen
trucks and eleven GLASSES. If you
see any more than this number,
change bootleggers.
If women would care to roam
about the place and avoid the con-
gestion of the night crowds, they
should slip over for an hour or so
in the afternoon. There is no
change in the program. The per-
Torrance is continuous from 10
to 10.
General anu Mrs. Gignilliat of
Culver Military academy were
among the Tuesday afternoon
visitors.
Stutz has the largest display of
passenger cars in the show, sixteen
in all. Also one chassis.
Bob ArmacoSt with his Stude-
bakers and Carl Wallerich with his
Chrys1ers are second in number of
cars displayed, with fifteen each.
Ford and Losey-Nash are third with
fourteen.
The one-half Ford is one of the
main stopping Faces of the Gus
toners on parade.

called GLASSES. That one Robin

Several demonstrations of non

during the show. Say when?
Sammy Watkins orchestra plays
from 2 to 4 in the afternoon and
from 8 to 10 at night. And Sammy

who had bought a mahogany
highboy for $3.50 and tossed it
into the air.

1T Is impossible to get anywhere
in discussing prohibition until some
of the fanaticism and buncombe has
been taken OUT

today by the Right Rev. Irving
Peake Johnson, Bishop of Colorado.

will be possible to discuss the issue
on equitable basis but at present
there Is too much politics mixed up

Johnson said: !"At home we have
outgrown lynch law and violence,

Bishop Johnson is chairman of

of the Prophets and Is attending
four day conference at the Wash

extending the evangelistic activi-
ties Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church are being made.
The Episcopal Church." the
bishop said, combines respect for
authority with liberty. and is not,
as usually regarded, just an ultra.
conservative body with a heritage
OF faith and worship.
1T has a message for an age
which has passed out of the emo
tional appeal of mid-Nictorian re-
ligiOn and is confronted by an era
Of intellectual curiosity which IS
demanding reason for the faith that

F FERSEN TELLS
HOW TOL|VE

How to feel full Of pep after a

Human Radio System
Fersen calls his system the "Hu-
man Radio" 1t is a purely physi.
cal system, he saws. 1t requires
no faith, no mental suggestion no
psychology. 1t is so simple that
child can use it.
Briefly, Fersen's theory is: Man
Is surrounded on every side by
vibrations of cosmic energy. His
body is a receiving station. 1t is
equipped by nature to make contact
these health giving vibrations but
man doesn't know how to tune
in"
TT Is my belief that the springy
step of youth and the joy Of full
some health are within the reach
of ALL Fersen told a reporter for
the Washington Times.

their drowsiness and their throats
swell with song. Music as clear
and refreshing as, a mountain
spring attest to the fullness Of their
health.
"The wild animals and birds OF
the woods enjoy abundant heelth
because they unconsciously are able
to utilize the cosmic energy in
which all the world is bathed.
Body Great Mechanism
"No mechanical device has ever
been built that compares with the
matchless perfection of the human
body" he continued. rScience Is
just beginning to discover how
sensitive it is. 1t is now known
that the human body is sown thick
with countless wireless stations

Two of these involve the barring
Of convict goods, and the barring
of plants of farm products currently
subject to pests or blights.
Delayed BY OratOry
Progress on the bill meanwhile
was slow, chiefly because of the
absence of some Senators and the
flights of oratory of those present.
Only minor administrative amend
ments have been adopted in the
main.
The Republican victory, by a test
vote, came on a new provision. call
ing for the marking of all imported
articles with the name of the coun-
try of their origin. A like pro-
vision stands in an existing law but
much controversy has arisen over
enforcement of the act. The new
provision would authorize the Sec
retary of the Treasury to issue
regulations for the marking and TO
permit certain specified exceptions,
when the marking might be pro-
hibitive in cost or Injurious to the
imported article.
Gain Five Votes
At first, the Senate approved the
House provision. giving the Secretary
of the Treasury wide discretion in
making exceptions. The vote was 2S
to 3S against the Republican leader
ship. This action was reconsidered
and second vote taken, by which
the Republican provision W a $
adopted, 40 to 80. On that vote, the
Republicans gained five Democratic
votes, while losing six Insurgents.
The victory was a tribute to the
leadership of Senator Watson (R) of
Indiana, Republican floor leader. In
the interim. between the two votes,
he was credited with rallying enough
votes to the Republican cause to
change the result. On the final vote,
h e Republicans Won Broussard,
Fletcher, Pittman, Ransdell and
Trammell-aIl Democrats-and held
in line such Independents as Capper,
Couzens, Frazier, Howell, Johnson
and McNary. They lost the Insur-
gents Borah, Cutting, LaFollette,
McMaster, Nye and Norris.
Debate on Ore

while continued to pop into Senate
debate. Senator COuzens tR.) Of
Michigan, revealed that the Finance
Committee first voted to to
put a one cent a pound duty on
manganese and then reversed IT,

placed it on the free list. He
credited "our leader with pro-
posing the reconsideration.
What leader do you mean?" ne
was asked. Senator Smoot, Sen
ator Reed or Senator Watson"
I'VE have only one regular leader
over here" retorted Couzens. I'VE
have several psuedo leaders but only
