HE SAME PRINCIPLES of efficiency and
economy that characterize the manufac-
ture of the Ford car are applied also to
distribution. Obviously it would do the
public little good to save in production if
these savings were sacrificed later in ex-
cessive costs Of selling, financing and
accessories.
The Ford dealer, therefore, operates ON
the same low-profit margin as the Ford
Motor Company, his discount or commits.
sion being the lowest of any automobile
dealer. He does good business because
he makes small profit on many sales
instead of large profit on fewer sales.
Maryland independent. [volume] (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1874-current, 1930-02-28

The lower cost Of selling, combined with
the low charges for financing and access
series, means direct saving of at least
$50 to SIS to every purchaser of Ford,
in addition TO the savings made possible
by economies in manufacturing. The
money you pay for Ford goes into value
in the car. 1t is not wasted in high dealer
charges.

DRY GOODS SALES
 SHOW FALLING OFF
Warm Weather Believed to Be
 Retarding Normal Sales

Boston, Sept. 20 (UP)-Dry goods and men's furnishings jobhers re- port slight reduction in volume of sales as compared with the previous week, according to Bradstreets weekly summary oflocal trade cen ditions, issued yesterday.
 Mems clothing is moving slowly, there being no noticeable increase in fall buying" the report said. ''This is also true of women's suits and cloaks. It is apparent that the unreasonable warm weather is Te- tarding business in these lines De- partment and specially stores report bushes somewhat diappointing the early part of the week but the influx of visitors due to the tercentenary celebration undoubtedly increased sales to some extent.
 With an increase in raw material prices more optimism is felt in sole and upper leather trades that the turn in the market has come and that conditions will improve. Busi- ness in all types of leather contin- ues quiet for the time being. Pro- auction of shoes in most lines is re- ported as spotty with more activity in staple and novelty lines of mems -Shoes. Wholesale and retail buying continues on a hand to mouth basis.
 "The wool market has had a slightly more active business, but spotty.--.Sonsderable interest is be- ing displayed by mills and indica- tions for better business in the near future are quite hopeful Prices re- main unchanged. Jewelry whole salers report collections fair to slow and sales averaging 25per cent under a year ago."

PREDICTS CAREER

Washington. Sept. 20 (IP)- Charles A. Lindbergh's young son probably will be either a flier or a legislator in view of his heredity and environment, Albert F. Blakes- lee, Carnegie institution scientist, predicted yesterday though he said he had declined to form a detailed horoscope" of the infant.
 Blakeslee, in radio talk on "heredity and environm1nt," point ed out that young Lindbergh would inherit flying qualities from his father Also, he predicted, the child will spend many hours in the air and thus be placed in a flying en- vironment.
 Statesmanlike qualities should be inherited by the Lindbergh baby from his paternal grandfather, a congressman, and his maternal grandfather, who seems likely to soon be a senator,' the scientist said. Also, he added, the child prob ably will be reared in a political atmosphere. ''r' ''

CORONER PROBES
 ALEXANDER DEATH Married Three Times Divorced
 Only Once Record Shows

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 20 lP>-Offi- cial investigation of the accident which ended the life of Ruth Alex ander at the outset of her proposed transcontinental flight Thursday was l in the hands of Coroner s. C. Kelly today.
 ] Prior to the inquest, the coroner joined the f1ier's friends in discount ing a theory that the aviatrix had wrecked her plane deliberately on learning she had gone through a marriage ceremony with Robert A. Elliott, naval reserve fiier, while still the wife of another man. A study of notes left in her hotel addressed to Elliott and her parents and questioning of friends Coroner Kelly said, lent nothing to a suicide theory, in his opinion.
 Records consulted following the dier's death revealed htat Miss Alex ander had been married three times with only one divorce.
 She was divorced in Richmond, Mo, in 1926, from Aldon Faneul- son with whom she eloped at Irv- ing, Kans., in 1926. She, married Mac Alexander July g, 1926. The couple separated two years ago and a divorce was sought by Alexander. Court records at Olathe, Kans., show no action was taken. An unanswered letter in the courts files indicated Miss Alexander was under the i'm precision the divorce had been granted.
 Two years ago the girl hier came to California and studied aviation After receiving a license she set an altitude record of 1S,O0O feet for women in a light plane.
 Later she made a nonstop flight from Vancouver, B. C., to Agua Caliente, Mexico
 'Her flying instructor was Ensign Elliott with whom, records show, she went through a marriage cere- mony at Yuma, Ariz., June 21.
 Members of the Anne Lindbergh Young Women's Gliding club yester- oay paid final tribute to the daring aViatriX, while Elliott, who had been visiting his parents, MT and Mrs. w. A. Elliott in Brooklyn, N. Y, was en route to accompany her body to Kansas.
