Positive Proof
of Ford ECONOMY
City of Detroit purchases l37 Ford cars
Hundreds now in use prove low cost Of operation

THESE l37 new Ford cars represent one
of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
Fl radio.equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their Individual records ranged from
78,434 miles to 143, ,723 miles with grand
total of $685. ,O97 miles. The operating
cost of the 2l cars was 1924 cents mile
- less than 2 l l/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every other
item except depreciation and insurance.
Of 577 Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 800 in the Police Department travelled
total of 6,59l ,937 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9 cents
mile.
Many claims have been madeSn operat.
ing costs, but here in the carefully kept
motor car records of the City of Detroit is
positive proof Of Ford economy.
In the paragraphs above, it is seen that
2l Ford scout cars averaged less than 2 1/3

Being q godfather to 100 chill
dren, to protect them through
their entire lifes with financial
and spiritual assist nee, is an
honor to some people.
To the descendants of the cul.
ture of ancient Greece, the duties
of the second father are so sacred
that nothing would ever lead
them to discontinue the practice,
according to Father Ioamis Papa.
nicolaou, learned clergyman Of ST..
Sophia's Greek Orthodox Church,
Eighth and L Streets Northwest.
Minimum Is Three
The minimum number of god
children which any washington
Greek can boast is three, Father
Papanicolaou says. But there are
those, he points out, who have
hundreds of children to whom
they have become second fathers.
Basing their godfather idea on
the divinity of the child, the
Greeks have held tenaciously to
the practice through the inroads
of American influence Of wealth
and position, Father Papanicolaou
pointed out.
Advises Him on Life
The godfather must see that
the child has clothes, toys and an
education and he must advise him
on his life and work. He is even
consulted when his goddaughter
plans to march to the altar.

POLICE ARREST
NARY ONE IN
18 MONTHS
"King Pins Too Smart" Says
Aide to U. S. Attorney;
Cosmos Scarcity Counts

Not single big shot bootleg
ger has been arrested in Washing
ton in the past 18 months, a
check of the records of the
United States Attorneys office in
Police Court showed today.
The nearest approach to a big
shot apprehended during the pc
riod is Nathan Cosmos, arrested
last night and charged with trans
porting 26 five-gallon cans of al
cohol.
Cosmos, represented by Attor-
neys Harry Whelan and William
B. O'Connell, pleaded not guilty
and will be given a hearing next
Wednesday.
1000 Cases Handled
More than 1000 liquor cases
have been handled through the
United States Attorneys office in
Police Court during the period
but nowhere in the list is the
name of any person reputed to be
"king pin" in the local whisky
industry.
Assistant United States At
torney David A. Hart. in charge
of liquor prosecution in Police
Court, said:
81 do not think the situation
is due to any lack of vigilance
on the part of the police. The
reason is the big shots are
too smart. They pay men to
handle the cOntraband and are
as divorced from it as any
reputable citizen would be, so
far as possible.
Runners Highly Paid
Their runners get caught
but they are paid well for
taking the rap and if convicted
and fined are at liberty within
a short period. It's a vicious
system, but it is hard mat
ter to get at the higerups un-
less some of their hirelings
Squeal."
Cosmos earned his rights to
be classed near the big shot stra-
tum because he was involved in
a recent conspiracy in which
several men have been convicted.
He has not been tried on the
conspiracy charge, having only
been apprehended on that indict-
ment two weeks ago.

Crash of Bomber Blamed
On Lou Safety Mdrgin

Commenting on the death here
yesterday Of Edward c. Ritchie in
the crash of the new bombing
plane he was testing, Glenn L.
Martin, head of the Baltimore
company which made the craft,
reminded of previous crashes in
testing other huge bonn b i n g
planes. He stated that appar-
emily the margin of safety in
building such craft has not been
estimated high enough.
Martin came here to investigate
the crash but could advance no
specific reason for the disintegra-
ton of the huge craft as it zoomed
down almost vertically from a 49,
O00.foot height carrying a 1000
pound bomb. He said:
1--WE don't know yet what
actually happened. The new
diving bombing tactics never
have been successfully accom-
pIiShed by any other country in
the world. The maneuver is
difficult one for the machine as
well as the pilot. Safety factors
well over those assured to be
necessary for such q dive were
built into these planes and all
strength members have been
broken under tests"
