It is intended that the Roosevelt be

For this reason, Marmon saw to its

The Business Car

Business demands that car must be
staunchly built, that it stay out of the
shop, that it be economical to operate.
1t is put on the cold-blooded basis of
cost per mile. The Roosevelt meets
the requirements in all ways-just a
bit more efficiently, all things consid-
cred, than any car at its price.

TRY HER WITH NEUROLOGY

BY George EerStcc
She Was an aNfully pretty girl
and as she sat IN the cublstlrly
painted booth of the church fair she
looked douhly attractive.
1t was wise committee that had
asked her to tell fortunes. But sh"
knew that something Nc" --Itlways
gets en- easier. So she had decided
10 do numerOlo.y. F1ocks Of curious
people who were willing to pay flNe
dollars for charity and ie" nun
utes intimate talk about themselves
visited her and went away with that
comfortable feeling that follows a
talk about oneself and the hope
that luck is soon going o turn.
And then he came into her booth.
He vas tall and handsome, young
and interesting. That's all you need
to know about man.
He told her his name and his age
and she began to make her calcula-
tons. He was in love with her from
the first flash OF her pencil,
Having finished her calculations,
she looked up to see him absorbed
in her.
You'll never be successful wit
YOUR present name" she told him.
IN never ne successful with any
name he answered.
"Oh, yes, you WILL" she cried en-
Enthusiastically. Don't you want me

papers. The more prominent the avi-
ator killed, injured and brought to
earth with a broken plane the more
important the story for national cir
culation. If Will Rogers doesn't yet
know this it is time he found it
out.
We are aware that the aviation
interests. who are in the business Of
making planes for profit, are great
ly concerned whenever newspapers
publish detailed accounts OF acct
dents and incidentally publish pic
lures of fallen planes. They may as
we'll get used to it. The newspapers
are not in the aviation business for
profit and are going to continue
publishing aviation accident ac-
counts. The only way to prevent
them from doing SO is to improve
the planes sufficiently to reduce such
necessity to minimum.

THE BIRTH CONTROL DEFEAT

The attempt TO remove the penalty
provisions from the birth control
Jaw. which finally failed in the Legis-
lature yesterday was academical IN
its nature. In practice the law is
unworkable NOBODY would give evil
dence to the authorities under It.
OF the hundreds who attended the
House debate yesterday it may be
assumed that few if any lacked
knowledge on this subject. The
valiant dsputants upon the floor Of
the House would not admit ignor-
ance if approached confidentislly by
a friend.
The main purpose Of the law, it
seems, is to prevent physicians from
Welding improper Information to
patients upon request. We suppose
most physicians obey the law, eX-
crpt perhaps in the case Of patients
hey know very we'll and thus are
assured of no legal action. What
passes between physician and pa
lent is as inyiolabe as what passes
between lawyer and client.
Never TO our knowledge has there
been prosecution under this law. It
is our belief there never will be
To all purposes the law is dead
letter because Of the virtual i'm
possibility Of adequate prosecution.
1t is as If there were a law against
imparting information as to how to
make home brew. In such a case
there would be just as much home
brew az now: those that didn't care
about home brew wouldn't utilize
the information they got from
friends. and those that care for it
would utilize it.
Judge Peck declared the object
of the repeal WAS 10 substitute ex-
pert guidance in place of Indecent.

ROD>ENIIT'S POWER PLAN

Governor Roosevelt gives evidence
OF wishing to continue the policy OF
his predeC essOr in office in relation
20 power development along ne st
Lawrence and other points where
vast resources Of power may be
developed. But he has concluded
that the policy Of his predecessor
did not comprehend public owner
ship of transmission lines unless
private capital could not be inter-
ested in constructing them.
Perhaps Mr.. Roosevelt is right
about his conception Of his predeces-
sor's policy. But it need only be
pointed out that half the job Of
furnishing hydro-electric power to
consumers consists in bringing it 10
their doors. Generating power is
ons thing: transmitting it is quite
another. 1t is possible. TOO. that
the work Of Transmitting it is quite
as expensive. If not more SO. than
the construction OF the hydro cleo
trio plants in the first place. The
cost. obviously, depends upon the
distance TO be covered. The st. Law
renee is quite a way from the
centers OF population in New York
state.
The same difficulty was faced by
the federal government at Muscle
Shoals. Here the government own
cd the site of power generation. but
no transmission lines. Said lines
were already constructed within
contiguous states. and owned by
private companies which supplied
consumers from their own plants.
The government cannot distribute
power at Muscle Shoals unless II

\ MODERATE. TARIFF

Representative Tilson of ConnoCti-
cut had 4 conversation With Pres
idcnt Hoover the other day and
strajghtWay had something fetching
to say about the Presidents attitude
toward tariff tiukcriug.
According TO the Nutmeg leader of
the Republicans in the House, Mr.
Hoover fayors a moderate tariff,
not one as high as possible Such re-
vision as Will talk place viii be in
only a paratlveiy few schedules.
and though nono Of these viii be
revised downward, nothing will go
up as high as numerous frcnzieJ
witnesses before the Ways and
Means committee desired.
What is most intriguing in the
Tiison statement. however. is The
background of the recent hula ba-
loo. II appears that when the farm
relief agitation brought about the
passage of the McMaster resolution
in he Senate aiming at downward
revision Of the tariff the key men in
the Republican party took council
and decided to beat the enemies of
the tariff at the contemplated game.
Word went down the line. and when
the committee hearings started nine
out Of ten of those heard favored
enormously higher rates. One well
remembers the testimony-how
numerous industries were heading
rates were doubled or tripled. All of
which, apparently, was done for ef-
feet.
It is gratifying TO learn through
Mr.. Tilson that President Hoover Is
not fanatical on the tariff question.
F Information in Washington seems
to be 10 the effect that the new
Z President is convinced that the pres
ent tariff structure is nearer perfect
than radical increases Of rates would
leave it; and Of course, he could not
be expected to favor reductions.
Tie outlook therefore is for the
present status quo in effect TO re-
main. Business and industry has
prospered under the present tariff
schedules and there is really little
needing change.
