MANY TAKING VACATION
Motorists Seeking Southern Resorts
Despite Talk of Hard Times.

CHICAGO, November IL R1.--De-
spite talk Of hard times, motorists OF
the Middle West continue to roll mer-
rily on toward warmer chimes.
Compared with similar period last
year motor travel to California and
Florida thus far this Fall has been
greater than in 1929, the Chicago Mo-
tor Club pointed out today. The in
crease to Florida has been about "a
per cent and to California approx
mately % per cent, the statement said.
Better roads and q growing tendency
on the part of car owners TO schedule
their vacations in the FAN or Winter
instead Of the Summer" were seen by
the club as reasons for the increases.

VITALITY is LOW
AT FOUR O'CLOCK
| AMONG WORKERS
Fatigue During This Zero
Hour Can be Overcome by
Sugar

Finishing the days work dead
tired" Is neither wise nor necessary.
Everybody knows that a fatigued
system Is readily susceptible to the
common Ills. To maintain vitality
during the last half of the day Is
therefore essential, not only for the
sake of health but eficient work.
One Of the simplest ways to COM
bat fatigue is eating a food or
drinking q beverage that contains
refined sugar. Candy, ice cream,
cookies and cakes are ideal in this
respect. Best of all. they can be
bought readily and cheaply every
where.
Medical men have made many ex-
periments with workers and sugar
foods in midafternoon and have
found the results most satisfactory
The sugar quickly nourishes the
body without taxing the digestive
system. When the body is nourished
in. this way, fatigue disappears.
Such sweet snacks as those pre-
viousiy mentioned can be kept in
ones desk and eaten while at work.
For a sweet beverage, glass of
water containing sugar-the' "ath-
lete's cocktails most invigorating.
Many famous athletes drink this
prior to a hard game. Most foods
are more delicious with refined
sugar. The Sugar Institute.-Ad-
vertisement.

A storm OF protest swept the
country. Union labor took the con-

at the cause Of labor. The United

sential. President Woodrow Wilson

and the governor of California con-
sented. changing it to life impri-
sonment. Mooney and Billings went
to priscn-and are there today.
Friends Of the two men never
gave up their fight. After long in
veStigation they began TO gnock big
holes in the states case.
In 1921 they unearthed MacDon-
aid in Ntw York. There he said that
he had lied at the trials OF the two
men. He had never seen either OF
them In his life. he said. until the
police took him into the jail and

stayed in prison.
Then Oxman's testimony was

Still 1t was impossible to win q
new trial or a pardon for the two
men. Rena Mooney. Nolan and

then went across Maret street and
we're lost to sight in the crowd.
Macdonald ~thereupon turned and
walked down Market street. He had
gone about 80 feet when the explo-
sion occurred. Since the explosion
occurred at 2:06 p. m. that fixed
the appearance of Mooney and Bill

at the earliest.
Now note the next point. Mooney
came TO trial and sprang an almost
perfect alibi. One Wade Hamilton
had taken a snapshot on the roof
Of the Eilers building. at 72l Mar

quarter from the scene Of the ex-
plosion. II showed Tom and Rena

1t would have been humanity inn
possible for Mooney TO have been az
the street corner at the time al

This picture. incidentally. did not
come to light until after Billings
trial had been concluded.
Macdonald Changes Story
So, at the Mooney trial. MacDon-
aid changed his story. He said that
it was somewhere between 1880 and

This spring a new attempt TO free
