 pr. James Howard Shook smiled and seemed to be enjoying himself immensely" throughout the many hours of questioning which followed his arrest Chief French testified.
 He seemed amused by it all" said French. Nothing seemed to break his calm demeanor. He was the most unruffled prisoner I have seen questioned in 29 years of police work"
 French was called to resume his testimony in rebuttal for the state. The defense has charged that third degree" methods were used in the examination.
 Defense Counsel Objects
 E. O. Ricketts, chief counsel, ob- jected to this line of testimony.
 Does the fact that a man is com posed; that he is calm and unruffled justify the use of infective and vio- lence against him?" demanded Ricketts.
 French's testimony was interrupt ed while Dr. Joseph M. Dunn, who last week made an intimate examina- tion of Dr. Shook in company with another physician, testified that | marks found on Dr. Shook in his be- lief were not more than three weeks old. These marks, the defense has

 In his statement of resignation, the alderman said that his associa- tions with public office have been the most pleasant and that his re- tirement gave him great regret. but he insisted that justice to himself and his family dictates that he give whatever time is necessary to his position.

Route Will Depend Entirely On Con- ditions, Zeppelin Commander Says Police Ordered to Shoot Would Be StoWaways at Sight-Crew Re duced By One Through Illness of Veteran Mate Today.

Veteran Mate Today.
 Friedrichshafen, Germany, Aug. IS QP)-Dr. Hugo Eckener, after "cabinet meeting" with his chief of ficers, today decided to postpone the start of the Graf Zeppelin for Tokyo world flight until the early morning hours of Thursday.
 Weather reports received during the night indicated a low pressure area over Siberia. moving eastward more rapidly than had appeared yes terday afternoon. With a days de- lay there was still hope that Dr. Eckener might be able to choose the Great Circ'H route west of the Be- hemian mountains to Koenigsberg into Russia. Even should this hope be disappointed, he must choose a route along the Danube, the Zeppelin officers are convinced another days wait will prove advantageous.
 Pleased ith General Weather
 T am quite pleased with the gen. eral weather situatio as revealed by the latest reports" Captain Hans Flemlmng, in charge of navigation, told the Associated Press. "The main th,"g is that there is no general low area all over Europe and northern Asia. We know now we can get through the east somewhere, wheth- CT by the northern or southern route and another days wait can only inn prove the situation''
 Captain Von Schiller, pilot, said the Russiap government was leaving no stone unturned to supply the most adequate weather service pos sible in view of the rather scant number of stations along the route.
 Report Relay Arranged
 These stations are chiefly located on the northern coast and along the railway line," he said. "All ststions @ill | port to certain larger ise- teorological stations which in turn will forward all data to Irkutsk, with which we will be in touch as soon as we are beyond the Urals. This side of the Urals we will de- pend on the marine weather station at Hamburg fer weather reports.
 Captain Won Schiller emphasized that no matter where the Zeppelin may be forced to fly, it has permis- sion for it's passage. Even Poland, which doesn't ordinarily permit Ger man planes to fly over it, has issued us permit. Likewise we have per- mits from all the border states such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuanian and Finland"
 Whether Moscow would be flown over, depended on the weather, he said. If the Zeppelin can fly a straight route along the Great Circle,

Plans for Highway
From u. S. Line
To City in Alaska

With winters cold days approach
ing rapidly, the Department Of the
Interior digs up a bulletin that is
anything but timely for the motorist
who is thinking of Southern tours.
An extract follows:
The Department of the Interior,
the Territory of Alaska and the
Canadian Government are collabo-
rating in the preparation of plans
for the development of an automo-
bile highway which will extend from
the boundary of the United States
1000 miles to Fairbanks. Alaska.
This road will be an extension Of the
Pacific Highway. which begins at
Tia Juana, Mexico. and skirts the
coast TO the Canadian border. It will
also tie into the park-to-parx high
ways in the United States and link
them with the Mount Mckinley Ma
tional Park, IN the heart of Alaxka.
It will connect with the road systems
Of Alaska which may be followed to
the coast at Steward or Cordova,
with Yukon transportation which
leads to the Boring Sea and with
that system of airplane transporta-
ton which centers at Fairbanks and
reaches practically all of Alaska.

is STATES CURTAlL
BUILDING ACTIVITY
Keefe Declares Highway Develops
ment Should Keep Pace With
Growth of Autos.

Despite the Nationwide appeal Of
motorists for more highways. 16 States
of the United States this year curtailed
their road building programs, q survey
just completed by the American Motor
lists Association reveals.
The survey also diScloseS that in seven
other States road building expenditures
will fail to keep pace with the increase
in automobile registrations.
Official figures from State highway
departments show that the following
states win spend less on state highway
projects this year than during 1928:
Alabama. Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Montana,
New Hmpshire, North Carolina. North
Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island
and South Carolina. In the States of
Georgia. Idaho, Kentucky, Massachu-
sets. Mississippi. Tennessee and Texas
State highway programs provide for in
creased expenditures this year, but the
increases will fall below the respective
increases in automobile registrations.
Automobile registration figures re-
fleet the rapidly growing use of automo-
biles and the need for more highway
construction" Thomas j. Keefe, gen.
eral manager of the American Motor
lists Association, declared in comment
Ing upon the failure of some States to
provide adequate road building pro-
grams. state governments should at
least provide road constructive programs
which keep pace with advances in reg
istrations, yet the survey of the A. M. A.
shows that the opposite is true in % of
the States.
IF account is taken of all types of
highways, the estimated mileage to be
constructed by the end of this year by
State governments will be 30,287 miles,
or approximately an average of mile
for every 808 automobile registrations.
American motorists last year con-
tributed something like 1927, 000, 900 to
State governments in the form of license
fees and gasoline taxes, and they have
a right to expect that highway pro-
grams will be expanded at least to the
same extent that they are called upon
to increase their contributions" the
A. M. A. statement declares.

FITTING OF AUTO TIRES
LIKE SHOES is ADVISED

Car owners are beginning to realize
more and more that 1t is poor policy to
simply go into tire store and buy
tire without thought as to whether that
type of tire is best suited for their needs
or not. Tires, like shoes, should be
fitted.
According to tire men, there care
sometimes eight different types Of tires
that man might buy for his car. But
probably only one type is best suited
for his needs. So he has one chance
out of eight of getting the best tire for
his purpose unless he permits a COM
petent tire man to make the selection
for him.
There are low priced tires, middle
priced tires and tires of regular quality.
And besides that there are super tires.
Then In some of the types there are
four and six ply tires, each having its
distinct purpose.
