TAKES RIDE

How would you like to ride more
than $4,000 miles in six months in
the same automobile and never
touch the wheel?
1t would be pretty tough,
wouldn't it-especially if you liked
to drive?
That is the situation faced
every day by Ray Priest, official
observer Of the contest board, A.
A. A., who has been with the
Dodge mileage marathon car since
the beginning Of its phenomenal
run, July /.
1t is Priests job to ride over 300
miles every day in the marathon
car and note down every fact and
figure about the car for his Off
cial reports, which go in daily to
the contest board, A. A. A.
Priest holds the only key to the
hood of the car. Any oil or water
must be added under his super
vision and any adjustments made
under. his scrutiny. He marks
down every city, town, village and
hamlet through which the car
passes on its series of croSs-coun-
try trips. He reports the correct
mileage. how the car performs
and anything and everything of
like nature that can be imagined
but he cannot touch the wheel.

For many years past WHY'S

That WHY'S Overland is entitled

DEUCHT IN KICK LURES uNEDuCATED
 GIRLS INTO CRIME

LONDON, July 27. P)-British educational standards and the lure of the modern miss for things with a kick" in them were blamed by Maude West, Scotland Yard woman detective, for the in- crease in female criminals.
 Miss West testified in the trial of three we'll dressed girls con- victed of petty larceny.
 For some time," the detective said, we've susected the opera tions of a ring of girl burglars in the outer section of London be- cause any of the robberies netted only women's finery and candy"
 Asked to what she attributed the apparent increase in crime among women, Miss West said:
 1.-TWO things are to blame. Our educational standards, which teach girls only a smattering of this and of that, do not fit her for their particular circle of life.
 They see their neighbors get ting an easy living of the dole and imagine they also should have an easy living.
 Then, too, there is the desire of the girls to do things for the kick they get out of it. Really the girl criminals of today are far different from those of few years back.
 Today they're smarter and bet ter dressed. They make our work harder, for none suspects the reasonably we'll educated girls of criminal tendencies"

PROSPECTORs AND
 TRAPPERs PROTEST
 GAME QUESTIONABLE

Prospectors and trappers loc..,oG or; the Yukon river about 50 miles from Eagle, complain to Delegate Wickersham of a recent que Nion- naire issued by the Alaska Game Commission, with the idea of tor- .nulating further regulations and allocating trapping territory to favored few.
 Question Is inquires: Tn your opinion, who should decide how much trap line any one person should be entitled to register?" The trappers contend that it would be an utter impossibility to allo- cate trapping territory equally. They further contend that the fur bearers are not disturbed evenly and that while one man might have a line 10 miles long and get lots of fur, another man might have 100 miles and then not get an even break.
 These men on the Yukon wish to bring some influence to bear that would tend to curb the alleged vicious" activity of the Commis- sion. The matter has been taken up with the Secretary of Agricul- ture.

TRIAL IS
HELD CERTAIN
FOR KILLER
But Action by High Tribunal
To Prevent 1t Is Barred,
According to Ruling

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, Dec. 80.
Although admitting in its
formal opinion that the colored
slayer of four, known as Euel
Lee, Yuel Lee, and Orphan
Jones, cannot get a fair trial
in Dorchester or Worcester
counties, the court of appeals
here has ruled it cannot re-
move the trial to the west
shore Of the bay because it
"cannot take up cases from
the trial court .piecemeal. "
The Worcester county court had
named Cambridge as the place of
the colored mans trial.
"NO Fair Trial"
Lee appealed from this order,
but the court of appeals dismissed
this plea. The dismissal again
makes the Worcester county court
responsible for determining a
place for the trial.
The appeals court made clear
that no fair trial for Lee is posi-
BILE in either of the two counties,
but said the tribunal was barred
from taking direct action before
the trial.
Action Barred
Its opinion said:
action by this court at this
stage of the case seems clearly
barred by the rule that this
court cannot take up cases from
the trial court piecemeal. The
jurisdiction of this court is linn
tied to the reviewing of final
actions of the trial court.
"The selection Of place for
trial within q courts discretion
is not such a final action, and,
therefore. no decision can be
had here upon the selection un-
til after the trial has been held
and final judgment rendered"
