 Ten surprise Witnesses were un- derstood to have told of having bought liquor from De King at his Aurora home. and it Was on this testimony that some members of the Juries favored an indictment. The majority, however, held that whether De King sold liquor was be- side the question, the investigation being to determine how his wife was killed, and if her killing call. q for indictment.
 It Was revealed that De King was asked by one juror if he did not consider himself to blame for his wife's death. Had he not been standing with his reVolvcrs in plain sight when the raiders demanded to search his home, he would not have been struck down from behind and his wife shot, he was advised.
 One true bill was voted. It charged perjury against Eugene Boyd Fair child, whose affidavit of buying h. quor at the De King home led 10 the raid. Fairchi!d told coroncr's jury he did not actually buy the liquor himself, as the affidavit assorted

circular published under the title
"The Spirit of the New Kitchen"
There is no room in the house more
attractive to the home lover than a
conveniently arranged, well-equipped,
and well-kept kitchen, according to
Miss McPheeters, and no other room
is so necessary to the health and we'll
being of the family.
Water systems for the kitchen, the
heighth of work tables, the arrange
ment of doors and windows, the size of
the room, and the grouping of equip
ment for efficienct use, are some
of the points emphasized as being i'm
portant in planning kitchen that
save time and energy. Fatigue ex-
perienced in doing house work, it is
stated, depends more upon the way
in which the work is done than the
amount of work. Our daily surround
ings are real influence in our lives,
and the wise home-maker will see to
it that her kitchen is as attractive as
the rest of the house, since she spends
much of her time and does her hardest
work there.

ESSAY on Corns

Corns are of two kinds, vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn: uni
corn, capricorn, pop corn, field corn,
the corn you feel most when it rains,
and just corn"
Corns have kernels and some
colonies have corns (col. Bell for in
stance). Vegetable corn grows on
ears, but animal corn grows on feet
at the other end of the body.
Folks having corns sometimes send
for a doctor and if the doctor himself
is corned he probably won't do so well
as if he isn't.
The doctor says corns are produced
by tight boots and shoes which is
probably why when a man is tight
they say he is corned.
On the farm it's so much corn per
acre, but one corn on mans foot may
make him the biggest "acher" in town.
Then there are corn festivals, corn
parades and still more corn.

It's safe bet that there won't be

Six Cylinder Cars
 Lead in Motor Field

Detroit. Aug. = For the first time in the history of the automo- bile industry, six cylinder cars prom ise to lead the field in production this year, according to a survey by the Chevrolet Motor company com- pleted today. Up until this year four cylinder cars ranked first in annual production volume.
 Comparative production figures for the first six months of this year are offered in support of the forecast. During this period there were pro- duced approximately 100000 sixes as com pared with approximately 1,- 265, 900 fours, an indication of what the total for the year is apt to be-
 How the automobile picture has changed almost overnight will be noted in an inspection of the 1928 showing. Last year when Chevrolet four cylinder manufacturers built approximately 2.09S.000 cars, with one large manufacturer of four cylinder cars on limited production due to model change, while six cyl inder manufacturers were making l,617,000 cars.
 sAs it now stands the year 1929 should show approximately 3,0OO,- 900 six cylinder units as compared to only 2,250,000 four cylinder units

Change Made in a 2-WindOW FOrdOr

. One of the most recent additions to the number of Model A. Ford body types is the two-window For dor Sedan with metal gear quarter, which replaces the former Fordor with leather trimming over the rear quarter.
 Announcement of the new type is made locally by F. McCauley, Ford Motor company dealer in this city. This now makes available three Model A sedans of four doors, the other two types being the three window Fordor and the de luxe Town Sedan.
 bles in many respects the Model A Fordor that has had wide adoption. The cowl sweeps down in a grace ful curve from a raised panel at the windshield to narrow belt moulding which runs from the front of the hood on a straight line back and around the car. A feature that adds much to the exterior ap- pearance of the car is the roll belt effect below the windows As with the three-window type, the drivers Seat may be moved forward or backward to suit the convenience of the operator of the car. Generous room is provided in the rear seat and the interior of the sedan is beautifully finished.
 Both the two and three-window Fordors are available in the variety of color combinations.

 Under certain conditions of traffis 1t is expected motorists will be re- quired to remain within the lane chosen upon entering the street At other times change from a Slower" to faster" lane and vice versa will be permitted.
 Weaving in and out of traffic however. is not to be permitted and the driver who leaves lane when traffic is stopped for traffic light and seeks to reach the head of the line probably will receive a ticket from a nearby traffic off, cer.
 The lanes, according to Edward A. Mitte, director of traffic of the Detroit police department, seem automatically to separate traffic in to various classes. The slower traf- fic automatically seems to get into the channel farthest to the left. This avoids congestion to a great degree"
 A new plan of making left turns is being specified by the police traffic division. Left turning traffic under the new order will turn in front of the traffic officer or light signal instead of behind. Hereto fore the driver making a left turn would pass the traffic officer on his left.
 Pavement markers are being placed 10 direct left and right turn ing traffic at street intersections.
