SUIT over DRY
RAID NULLIFIED
Agents Win First Tilt in
Action for DAMAGES.

Demurrer to the $4,000 damage
suit filed against four special pro-
hibition agents of the department
of justice, charging malicious prose-
cution and insult during a dry raid,
was sustained Tuesday by Federal
Judge Robert c. Baltzeu.
Judge Baltzell's ruling virtually
nullifies the suit unless an amend
ed petition is filed.
The defendants, Bennett F. Har-
grove Jr., chief of special agents,
and his operatives, Oliver j. Gettell,
John H. Wyman and Joseph H
Denny, were sued as the result of
a liquor raid made on the residence
of James Angelo, 1888 North Illi-
nois street, Angelo charging the
agents searched his home without
finding liquor, frightened his wife
and children and caused the family
to be held up to the ridicule of
neighbors.
The demurrer, prepared by Tel
ford B. Orbison, assistant United
States attorney, pointed out the
agents were acting on search war
rant prepared by United States
commissioner.

Bobby Trout Will Receive
Birthday Cake, but
She's on a Diet.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. New

pected today as she and her CO.
pilot, Edna May Cooper, SCARED over
municipal airport in the monoplane
Lady Rolph adding hour after hour
to their new refueling endurance
record for women.
Miss Trout was Is today. A birth
day cake was promised her by the
ground crew, but she and Miss
Cooper said they would only look
at it.
A strict diet outlined by physi-
clan at the field would not premit
even them to bite into the frosting
and so the cake, he said, must re-
main uneaten until they return to
earth.
One of the most interested spec
tators at the field Tuesday when the
two girls equaled the former unoth-
cial mark for women of 40 hours 16
minutes was Carl Cooper, 9-year-old
son of Miss Cooper.
Even close friends of the former
motion picture actress were un-
aware that she had been married,
and airport officials profeSsed no
knowledge of the name of her for
mer husband, other than that he
was a Texas man.
Miss Cooper has recovered from
Burns about the face, received while
refueling Tuesday noon. The re-
fueling hose pulled loose from the
tank and sprayed her with gasoline.
Near collapse with the gasoline in
her eyes, nose and mouth, Miss
Cooper lay down on her air mattress
while the refueling plane raced to
the ground for salve and bandageS.
The first aid equipment, lowered
to her in a sack, soothed the girls
burning face, and after four-hour
rest she was able to resume the re-
fueling operations.

Radiator caps have been thinned
down almost to nothing, only orna-
ments taking their place and the
opening to the cooling system being
relegated to beneath the hood. The
ornaments also are modernistic,
speedy and Snappy. That of the
Buick 8 is an example.
A new idea in ornaments is that
of the Dodge, with the well-known
emblem not only in front of the
radiator, but like a button at the
head of a uniquely designed radi-
ator cap.
Headlights are tending toward
bullet, or torpedo, shape, although
the extreme of almost a fat-shaped
headlight still may be seen in the

Two extremes in line design are
the special Franklin convertible
phaeton, with it's doors extending
all the way down below the floor

and the special Cord roadster built

somewhat like the special racer
