 This dwarf of the autom otive world, designed by James V. Martin, famed airplane builder of Garden City, Long Island, looks like a vest pocket edition of other cars on the road-but actually it is q radical in novation.
 The car has no chassis, no frame and no aXleG. Instead, the wheels are independently attached to the body of the car itself-an1 the floor of the body is the bottom Of the car.
 Neither are there any springs The wheels are suspended much like airplane wheels and are set in aviator cord, which is made of rubber under high tension. In this way each wheels absorbs the shocks

Police Lecture Girls On Evils
 Of Soliciting Automobile Rides
 From Youths Who Are Strangers
Patrol West Main Street at Suggestion of Chief Hart ant Are Picked Up" By Group-Interfere With
 Hitch Hikers Who Have Climbed Into Car.

The evils of hitch hiking-of soliciting rides from strange young men-wero forcibly pointed out to four young girls on West Main street Sunday evening by Officers Hellberg and Brophy after their at tention had been called to the prdc- tice by Chief of Police William C. Hart.
 Chief Hart was riding down West Main street when he noticed two groups of girls soliciting rides Coming to the station he told the officers about it and sent them out to warn the girls.
 In one of the police cars they went. At Walnut Hill park they met the first group of girls.
 Hey. Give us ride?" they were asked when they drew up 10 the curb. The girls had not nn- ticed that the men were in police uniform. They get into the car ana then and there Officer Hellberg 1e. livercd his first lecture of the eve ming, pointing out the dangers which would eventually befall 2O-year- ol1 girls who solicited rides from strange men. Sufficiently i'm pressed, the girls promised that they would do it no more and the po- licemen drove on.
 In front Of the Masonic temple the officers drove past just in time to see two other girls solicit rides and get into car with two young men, Pulling ahead in the police car the officers forced the driver of the other car to pull to the curb and stop.
 Officer Hellbors alighted and went back to the other car.
 DO you know these men?' he asked the girls.
 Sure we know them." was the reply. And when the young men were asked if they knew the girls the reply was an affirmative. But when it came 10 giving addresses, all parties became hopelessly iumbled.
 Again Officer Hellberg delivered

1928 MISS MEXICO
 MURDERS HUSBAND
Beauty Learns General Is Twice
 Married, EmptieS Pistol

Mexico City, Aug, 26 (P}-Senora Miss Mexico" in the 1928 Calves ton beauty contest, was in a prison cell today, having shot and killed her husband, General Noises Vidal.
 After reading in a newspaper that she and General Vidal were to be arrested for bigamy, she procured his heavy army pistol and turned II on him, firing six shots which killed him almost instantly. She tnan placed the muzzle to her own head and pulled the trigger but the masa- zine was empty.
 Police arriving found Sonora Ni- dal prone on the body of her hus- band crying hysterically, T loved him dearly" She told them the newspaper article was the first ,n:l- nation she had that Vidal was mar ried when he courted her and won her heart after. This was after she had failed to win the Galveston con- test.
 llit l II Sl StllUId Ipt Nludl lives III Gosamalopan, Vera Cruz, with her two daughters. She became suspi- cious of her husbands long absences according to newspaper accounrs, and following him to Mexico City discovered his duplicity. She then filed charges of higamy.
 The story was published in Mexico City newspapers Saturday but NaS seen only yesterday by the young wife. who is A years old. She handed the paper to the general. with instructions to read. She then went into the generals room aud obtained his pistol.
 Under Mexican law both he and she might have been sent to prison for the bigamous marriage.

of the road independently Of the others.
 Sixty Miles An Hour
 This motor midget will step out, too. Sixty miles an hour on D. smooth pavement - and up to 50 on a rough road. Fifty miles on a gallon of gasoline. Two cents a mile driving cost.
 Tires will last 25,000 mil9s. and their running cost is only about one eighth that of tires on standard light cars.
 A ur-cyclinder air-cooled mo- tor. And-bad news for garage men -there'll be little "servicing" neces- sary. For the car can be fabricated almost for it's lifetime when it's shipped to the buyer, and the aver age experienced motorist should be able to give the motor most of the attention it would require, the builders claim.
 I've tried to answer the Ameri- can motorists cry for d place to park by building car that can be parked almost any place." said h. ventor Martin. We've made only three cars to date---each a two-pa senger model that will accommodate three without too much crowding. Four passenger models and light trucks are coming up soon."
 Martin now is negotiating with Wall Street bankers 10 finance a manufacturing company for the car and he expects to market his auto motive prodigy through a large mail order house.
 Midget in Weight
 "Tha car weighs only 600 pounds - look at the saving on the cost of license tags" Martin pointed out. And we haven't ignored the extras, either. There is comfortable attractive upholstery, an electric starter, speedometer, ammeter - even a windshield wiper
 The car is less than half the size and one-third the weight of the Ford Model A, the smallest Americana made car. It has a smaller wheel-base by 15 inches, too. than the British -manufactur- cd Austin Seven which will soon be introduced 10 the American market
 It is easy to understand why the cars can be produced so cheaply The various parts are extremely simple in construction, and here are less than half as many of them as the standard coupe contains. The small four cylinder motor is air cooled, so there is no radiator. The ordinary type of differenual on the rear axle has been eliminated. The light torque shaft requires no bear irgs.
 It's Easily Parked
 With it's five-foot wheel base and reduced width, Martins midget can park in half the space required D, the next larger car.
 Until now, Martin always has been of an airy turn of mind-roI he's famed as the inventor of more than 4O patented devices applca ble to airplanes and as the builder of the Martin bomber biplane and the first light scouting plane.
 Martin staged the first aviation show in this country--the Harvard Boston Aero Meet in 1o10 He or gGnized England's first aviation school made the first flights over London. and trained the first pilots of the Royal Naval Air Service.

AS the ship sailed past the
lighthouse and out beyond
the Seal Rocks of the Golden
Gate, Don Carlos stood on
the deck for a brief moment
and gave one parting glance
to the shore of Marin, where
lay buried so many of his
dreams. But the tropic
isles lay just beyond, and
the lure of it called to him.

it is now, I've got a clean

good beginning when one is
going to start, life anew. "
For Don Carlos had decided
to remain in the islands the
moment he saw the purple
black range of the Koolaus
peeking forth the morning
they had arrived. "Some-
thing will turn up."
And it did.
The ship sailed late that
afternoon on its trip to the
Orient. Don Carlos saw it
off, and then roamed about
the docks. The sea still held
its fascination for him. The
five-day trip down to the
islands had but whetted his
appetite for adventure.
Well, it would come to him
if he were patient. He
envied Dick, out on tie high
seas once more.
Right around the corner
oftimes lies the kingdom of
our dreams Of romance.
Don Carlos walked around
the foot of Fort Street,
turned towards that section
where the boats for the East
head out to sea and watched
Dicks vessel nose its way
out. It was carrying part of
his heart with him y
those inches Of the heart of
him which yearned for all
the glories Of travel.
Turning away, he cata-
pulled himself into a mass
of intrigue and romance and
adventure which he never
had dreamed could come to
mere mortal.
Directly in his path stood
a bronzed Polynesian.
The object of his gaze
spoke to him in a deep,
husky tone, for the Poly
nesian has no high key in
his tonal register.
"Would your like to make
a couple thousand dollars
easily?"
Don Carlos did not be-
lieve his ears. He looked
about him. No one else was
in sight. The question ap-
parently had been directed
to him alone.
Il say, would you mind
repeating that statement"
would you like to, make
some real money easily-say
$4,000? And keep your
mouth shut about it,"
