Be Part of Regular
Patteson Exhibit

Drew Patteson. of Patteson Motor
Co, lo~al Ford dealer, announced
today that they win hold a spe-
cial showing Of Ford Deluxe cars
during the week beginning Mon
day, September Is.
During this week, Mr.. Patteson
said, Deluxe cars will be featured
in the local showroom SO that res
idents Of Brownsville will have an
opportunity to inspect the various
body types and learn Of their I'M
usual appointments. Special liter
ature describing the Deluxe cars

Most Of the Deluxe ears are
comparatively new in the Ford line.
Mr.. Patteson said. Until this year.
he said, there were but two F0rds
Of this type. but in recent months
there have been added a Sedan. a
Coupe, a Phaeton and a Roadster.
The introduction Of this sesies
OF Deluxe cars by the Ford Motor
Company and their reception on
the part Of the public are an inn
poTtant development in the auto
mobile business" Mr.. Patteson said.
They are designed for persons who
desire q Ford with its low cost &c
onomy OF operation and dependable
ity, but who at the same time pre-
fer the refinements and luxurious
appointments usually found only in
more expensive cars.
The unusual quality Of the De-
Luxe cars Is readily apparent IN the
upholstery. In the sedans and the
coupe. this Is either a rich, soft
mohair or a beautiful, durable Bed
ford cord, while the Roadster and
the Phaeton are upholstered in
genuine leather.
The upholster. however, is but
one Of the outstanding features Of
the Deluxe cars. In the Sedans, for
instance, there are arm rests at the
sides OF the ear seat and a fold
ing arm rest in the center. flexible
robe rail. toggle grips. dome light,
rugs TO harmonic with the upholS-
terry, hardware Of scroll design and
other appointments not usually as
sociate with a car in the Ford
price field. The interior OF the De-
Luxe Coupe is equally distinctive.
The open cars are of special
sport design with trimmings and
accessories to match the quality Of
the genuine leather seats. These
cars have trunk racks. cowl lights.
fender wells with spare wheels and
tires. and handsome tops with
natural wood bows.
For those who prefer a convert
ible car. the cabriolet offers the
economy OF the Ford with fine APP
pointments and exceptional style"

NEW YORK, Sept. l5-No guns
blaze now at Bloody Angie on Doy-
els street In New York's Chinatown,
nor do knives flash their message of
hatred to the hearts Of enemy tong
men. The quiet that pervades the
narrow, twisted streets is disappoint-
ing TO expectant sightSeers. They
do not know that ii is too quiet
that Chinatown is still at war.
Leaders OF the Hip Sing, the Tung
On and even the On LeOng Tong
against which all the others have
been arrayed, say that fraternal
honor has been satisfied and that
all that remains for the establish
ment Of perpetual peace is the
affixing of the great seals and the
drinking Of a little rice win.
But police have been detailed
thickly throughout the quarter. and
plain clothes squads are constantly
on the alert at the tong frontier.
They know that a scrap OF paper,
no matter how many Chinese call II
a peace treaty, Is still a scrap OF
paper. They know that the tongs
are gangs. and that rackets are
among their activities. Fighting
methods have been modernized and
cOmmercialized according to the best
underworld traditions.

These birds just can't get together.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD BOY
KNOWS HIS BIBLE
Quotes Items From Scriptures
With Facility.

| Cincinnati.-If some person were to
| approach five-year-old Jacques D.
Rietze and materially lisp, 9TH e 'itty
boy 'appy?" she'd probably receive
some such amazing reply:
Exceedingly, madam. Playing with
a miniature locomotive affords me
great pleasure"
If the minister should walk into the
Rietze home and query Of Jacques,
what was the greatest factor con-
tributing to the defeat of the Ephraim-
ties at the Jordan? the boy likely
would reply: "They didn't know their
pronunciation"
Since he was four Jacques has been
studying the Bible. He has learned
more Of its contents in that time, per-
haps, then the average individual
learns in lifetime.
He knows and can furnish identi-
ties of Northumberland, Belshazzar,
not to mention the more public char
acters of Moses, Noah, and Abraham.
He can deliver sermon, quote scrip
ture, and define metaphysics" as well
as "ecclesiastic."
His one handicap is speech. So zeal
GUS is he to impart his knowledge Of
religious subjects to listeners that the
words fairly tumble out of his mouth.
Consequently, he is rather difficult to
understand in speech, as well as sub
ject.
Like normal boys Of his age, he de-
lights with his toys, but even at play
he mumbles Biblical quotations to HIM
self. Once passage is read him he
never forgets and can repeat it YER

His mother first acquainted him
with the Bible. A few preliminary
readings, however, and jacques took
the initiative to learn more. Mrs.
Rietze cannot explain her sons unusual
acumen and is fearful that he may
become mot enough like other boys"
However, when attempts are made to
divert his mind to other subjects his
day is spoiled, his mother declares.

CLOSE MOUNT VERNON
ROOMS TO OCCUPANCY
Erect New Building to House
Society Members.

Washington.-Never again will the
bedroom where George Washington
slept be occupied by an ordinary in
dividual.
The Mount Vernon Ladies' associa-
ton, group Of women from the As
states who control and manage the
Washington mansion, IS miles south
Of the National Capital, have just fin
lshed an improvement at this historic
place which means that the home of
George Washington henceforth will be
sacred from modern occupancy.
Since 1t was taken over by this group
of women, restored and opened to the
public, 1t has been occupied only three
| days of each year. That was when
the Mount Vernon ladies came in May
for their annual inspection visit. Then
the mansion was closed to the public
and at night the ladies slept in the
historic Washington bedrooms. Now
this will be a thing of the past.
New Building Nearly Ready.
Workmen are putting finishing
touches on handsome new building
within the limits of Mount Vernon,
which will be occupied by members
Of the Mount Vernon staff who live
there, and has sufficient space so that
when the ladies make their annual
inspection visit they can sleep in the
new building instead of in the mansion
ITSELF
The new building is a low, rambling
structure, copying the original archi-
lecture as closely as possible. 1t has
strictly up to date modern features,
however, including three car garage
and all necessary plumbing and bath
room equipment. 1t will fit into the
landscape so that the average tourist
visiting Mount Vernon will hardly be
able to distinguish it from the origi-
nal buildings.
Visitors Increasing.
The number of tourists visiting
Mount Vernon is increasing in number
from year to year, until now the his
tOric estate nets an income from. adj
mission fees of more than $150,000 an
near the Capital has an equal drawing
power Last year the total number
Of visitors was more than 100000.
Twenty-Five cents is the price of
admission, and the mansion is open
six days a week. A bill providing for
it's being taken over by the govern
ment is now pending in congress, and
though this legislation will meet con-
siderable opposition, there is posi-
bility of passage.
Operated by the government, the adj
mission charge undoubtedly would be
abolished. Only one government build
ing in Washington has such charge
the Lincoln museum, which is
housed in the dwelling where Lincoln
died.
The admission fee there is neces-
sary because the house is not govern
ment owned.

white forehead For few moments
