PHOENIX, AriZ., February 5.-Cor-
nelius Vanderbilt, jr., reputed source Of
the Mussolini story that has resulted in
Mai. Gen. Smedley D. Butler facing a
court martial, was on record today as
saying the Marine ofncer had "Quotsd
inaccurately" something he heard at
the AFFILIATED Lecture Bureau in New
York last November.
Giving his first explanation of his
silence regarding the Mussolini incident
since it brought the general court
martial summons, the young newspaper
man last night said he would relate
correctly what he said originally con-
corning the Mussolini anecdote, If called
as a witness in the courtumartial.
Charges Inaccuracy.
Gen. Butler, in a recent Philadelphia
speech, charged the italian dictator

Butler saying he was greatly disap-
pointed not to be able to attend the
dinner this year"
This was followed by q short adj
dress by the president, Judge Harry s.
McDevitt Of the Philadelphia Common
Pleas Court, who asked for a fair trial
for the general. Butler, when he was
director of the Department of Public
Safety in Philadelphia, helped to de-
velop the league.
1T is useless to ask the White House
or any one connected with it to stop
the court-martial, Judge McDevitt
said. 1.-The only way he can be saved
Is fair trial by fair board. He
does not have to be disgraced before
Nhe world for an indiscreet remark
Judge McDevitt said he had no OBJ
lection to the court-martial order, but
he did not think the general should be
convicted first and tried afterward.

SPEEDWAY RACE
ENTRIES VARIED
Costly, Cheap Cars viii
Compete May 80.

No lack Of variety in cars entered
in the 500-mile race vii be found by
speed fans who attend the worlds
speed classic May 80 at the Indian
apoliS Motor Speedway.
Entries include everything from
specially built race creations,
groomed by the nations leading
engineers, costing as much as $685.
600, to semi-stock cars, some costing
as little as $500.
The list includes four, eight and
sixteen-cylinder motors, front and
rear wheel drive mounts and even
one Diesel-motored car.
This great speed classic, while
entertaining racing enthusiasts, also
performs a valued service to the
automotive industry in testing new
engineering ideas.
Several of the cars entered this
year, hidden by nom de plumes, are
full fledged brothers of popular cars
being driven on the street every
day. 1t is these cars in which fac
tory engineers are intensely inter-
ested.
Even before they are cooled from
the long 500-mile grind engineers
behind closed doors are tearing
them TO pieces to learn the effect
of sustained speed on the me-
chanical parts.
Despite the evident business de-
pression-be it real or mental-seat
demand for the race continues
strong, indicating last years rec
ord-breaking attendance of 10000

Although seats have been on sale
many weeks, out-of- town pur-
chasers are far in the lead, with
brisk demand from Indianapolis
noticeable in the last week. Despite
the tremendous advance sale, T. E.

clared today there still are excel
lent seating accommodations in all
stands except A and B.

Complete Office Records
Are Made Available at
Small Cost.

Many small business firms, forced
by business depression to guard
carefully against unnecessary ex-
pense, have begun to realize the
necessity of a complete bookkeeping
system.
Many of these have found that
the difference between profit and
loss is a set of records showing ex-
actly where the business stands at
all times.
Production costs, sales costs and
overhead are figures that must be
watched carefully if a business is to
succeed.
Record Is Important
Attempting to run a business
with adequate business records is
dangerous.
Big business corporations realize
that bookkeeping is one of the most
important parts Of the conduct of
any business, but many smaller
firms now may have their business
transactions recorded at a very
nominal cost by a firm specializing
in keeping records for just such
companies.
Firm Has Many Clients
This service is being provided by
the Bookkeeping Service Company,

GIVEN BY SHOP
Venezia Garage Wins Many
Friends by Policy of
Fair Treatment.

Highly skilled automobile repair
service at reasonable prices is pro-
vided for motorists at the Venezia
Service Garage, Merrill and South
East street.
In addition to its splendidly
equipped repair and rebuilding de-
partment the Venezia company
maintains a complete oil, gasoline,
greasing and washing service and
offers storage and tow-in service.
Twenty-four hour service is Of
fered motorists by the garage. The
company employs a staff Of highly
experienced mechanics and carries
replacement parts for all makes of
automobiles.
Service Is Skilled
While offering skilled service on
all makes Of automobiles, the Vene-
zia Service Garage specializes on re-
pairs and rebuilding Stutz and Au-
burn cars. E. j. Young, who was in
charge Of Stutz and Auburn service
station at Houston, Tex, for six
years, has charge Of this work for
the Venezia garage.
Because of its reputation for ex-
pert workmanship, the Venezia
company receives work from many
customers living in other cities and
even in other states, according to
Frank Venezia, manager.
Business Is Expanding
RW. Collins, Lexington, KY, fam
Gus in horse racing circles, sends his
Stutz cars to the Venezia garage
from Lexington to obtain advantage
Of the company's workmanship,
Venezia said.
The company's business has been
expanded greatly through friendly
boosts given by satisfied customers.
The company has made many
friends through its policy of fair
treatment to motorists.
Automobile repairs is one Of the
services not easily estimated in adj
vance, since what at first may ap-
pear to be trivial often is found
serious when the trouble is laid bare.
Mechanics Are Honest
The motorist is dependent on
honesty Of the garage mechanic. If
the work is necessary, usually he
wishes it done. But there have been
cases where INSCRIPTIONS mechanics
have made trivial repairs the basis
for a big repair bill.
Finding these practices not in
dulged in at the Venezia Service
Garage, but instead receiving skilled
and honest service, motorists who
visit the garage once usually con-
tinue to return to the garage when
ever they need further service.

Adds to FamiIy's Comfort
at Small Cost; Made
of Purest Water.

Many persons take the things
they have for granted and never
give a thought to what they could
not do, without them, Take the
matter of ice, for instance, and
figure what it would mean to be
without it.
Here is a material that is deliv-
cred every day, which makes hot

furnishes refreshment on demand.
If no ice were available, the dis
comfort of summer would be null
tiplied many times over, the pro-
vision of the family meals would
be much complicated, and a big
share of summer time pleasure and
comfort would be impossible.
There are decided advantages in
using ice for refrigeration in the

NEW YORK, August Eastern
newspapers today are appraising New
ton D. Bakers Williamstown address
against the background of Mr.. Bakers
presidential possibilities or susceptible
ties. Since last November, when a Cleve-
land testimonial dinner to Mr.. Baker
started this talk, the discussion of his
possible candidacy has increased. With
hint of the Coolidgean phrase, Mr..
Baker replies, II am not eager to run"
Mr.. Baker Is beyond doubt the shin
ing intellect of the Democratic party.
When he was Secretary of War. 1t used
to be said that he was even more of q
scholar in politics than Woodrow Will
son-that in any academic track meet
he could take both the high and low
hurdles from the wartime President.
He makes little Jokes in Sanskrit. For
pleasant, warm weather recreation he
reads Greek and Latin snappy stories in
the original. He reciteS long Arabic and
Hebrew poems. His honorary degrees
are like the sands of the sea- This year
Harvard, Princeton and Michigan so
honored him.
intellectually, to borrow a business
phrase, Mr.. Baker keeps liquid, At
believe in free trade and I believe in
the idea Of single tax" he says, yet
am neither q free trader nor O single
taxer." He opposes the eighteenth
amendment and champions the League
of Nations, and doubtless would insist
that this does not make him either q

Twenty years ago. Mr. Baker, young

perhaps this should be qualified by
Mrs. Bakers previously noted repudi-
alton Of labels-he became Secretary
OF War and leader Of the Cleveland bar.
Last year he gathered a fee Of $500, 900

troll Of her mentally eclipsed husband.
Just now he is attorney for the Appa-
