 This movement which first reCelv- ed real impetus in Gary, Indiana, where it was known as the "Wirt rian," from the name of it's pro- moter, theree met with such enthu- SiastiC response that it was soon be- ing tried far and near. Individual churches began having week day re- ligious schools, several churches united for cooperative schools and whole communities set up a reli- Cious education system.

 Not alone did it prove its ability to cope with cars even far beyond its price class in this country but it continues to maintain the rcpu- tation t has held for three years in the foreign countries.

Ban on Shooting at Rum Run neTs May Be Lifted at Fl Paso

Fl Paso, Texas, July 22 P)- Official recommendation for a larger border patrol and the lifting of regulations prohibiting federal offn- ccrs from firing at suspected rum runners attempting to cross the border at night may result from the slaying Saturday of Ivan E. Scotten, border patrol inspector, by rum runners.
 Declaring it was almost murder 10 send inspectors on patrol duty, H. C. Hornselcy. chief of the border patrol, indicated his report of the affair to the department of labor would contain such a request.
 Shot in Pitched Battle

In q pitched battle that followed one of the attackers was known to have hoen killed. the off Ccr reported. The remainder of the band escaped and no trace Of them has been found.
 Saotten was the 14th border pa trolman killed on duty.
 Federal officers estimated that during the time the fl were slain, too or more liouor or alien snug Glers have been killed in battles with fedcr"l men in or near Fl Paso, The Fl Paso sub-distriCt is said to be the most hazardous and danger ou~ of any along the border.
 The discovery of McXican's body in the sand hills west of Fl Paso and just over the boundary in Mex ico caused federal officers to be- lieve, they said. that war between rival liquor hiiackcrs is under way. The mans body was surrounded by several liquor cans. shot full of holes.

 "Patrolmen usually are able to protect themselves against odds when they only have to contend with smugglers. but combined force of smugglers and hijackers IS usually too much for the two or three men we are forced to send out to watch for law violators."

Dodge Car No. 1
 Still in Daily Service

The first car 10 Dealer No. l ln the world wide sales organization ct Dodge Brothers has been found to be the same sturdy performer it was when it rolled off the assembly line back in November, 1914.
 The veteran touring car was re- gently traced 10 Nashville, Tenn, records showing that the car .each- ed that city in December, 1914. It's owner is still driving the car daily, and it has a proud history of lorG tours through the eastern states and Canada among it's recent accom- plishments.
 The distinction Of holding dealer contract No. l goes to John Cheek, president of the Cumberland Motor Car Co, Of Nashville, who made the first sale of a Dodge car. and who still holds the company's franchise for that territory.
 The story of his success in the automotive field, and his start with the Dodge agency of Nashville is ir- di@ativa Of the character Of the man himself. 1t was in 1914, when Eu- rope was in the first stages of the World War, that Mir. Cheel, first heard that Horace and John Dodge were going into the automotive manufacturing field.
 Mr. Cheek and his father. Col Joel C. Cheek, happened to 'be in Sandusky, Ohio. when they heard the plans of Dodge Brothers. With out having seen a car, Mr. Cheek placed his order for 800 for the first year, to slow his confidence in the Dodge Brothers, and the car they planned to place on the market Just before Christmas in 1914. tn, first shipment, consisting of q Dodge touring car Crated in a box, reached Nashville by express.
