BLAME THOSE IN OFFICE

The habit of blaming everything
that goes wrong on to the 'ins' is
not totally an American custom.
They do it in South America, and
Europe too, and even in the Orient.
Recall for example, the recent rev.
olution in Chile, the overthrow of
the government in Japan, the
changes in France and Germany,
and-to go back a few months-the
decisive defeat of the Labor govern
ment in Great Britain. Conservative
governments have been turned out,
in some instances to make way for
radical governments and, in other
instances, liberal governments have
given away to those with a con-
sentative label. There has been no
general pattern of change. It has
been In most instances, turning
out of the "ins" and replacing them
with the "outs" even though most
of the voters must realize If they
were to stop and think, that the
various governments have had lit
tie to do with the great economic
depression which was only an In
eyitable aftermath of the World
War.

WHAT FOLKS TALK ABOUT

Investigators classified 500 con-
versations overheard in public
places to find out just what men
and women talk about, in Cleveland
and New York. They found that
the subjects varied little in the two
cities.
Mems conversations were As per
cent about business, 10 per cent
about sports and amusements, II
per cent about other men, these be-
ing the most frequent topics.
Conversations of women were
most frequently about men, this
topic showing great variation in
the two cities. % per cent in Cleve-
land and Al per cent in New York.
Clothes were the subject of 20 per
cent and other women Is per cent,
In mixed company, men talked
most to women about amusements,
next to business and money. Wo-
men conyersed with men about
themselves and other women.
The above results were published
in a business mems magazine, but
we cannot say whether they fairly
represent the facts or not. AT any
rate, they are interesting.

LOCAL KIWANIS
ADDRESSED BY
RRAWLEY MAN

A forceful talk concerning the
American peoples pursuit of the
Almighty Dollar, was delivered
Kiwanians yesterday by Jack Harts,
sales manager for the Aggler-Mus-
ser Seed company of Los Angeles.
He explained that he is not a
Communist and is a Republican
who does not blame President
Hoover for conditions which exist
in the United States today.
If We had all the Presidents
from George Washington down the
line, alive today and working to-
gether. they would be powerleSs TO
remedy the situation unless the
people themselves changed their
ideas" said HartS.
Americans have come TO worship
the dollar and have forgotten about
God. in the opinion of the speak
er. Individuals have no brotherly
feeling toward one another and
make boarding money q chief aim
in life. he said. He expressed the
opinion that until We as Americans
realize happiness and contentment
are possible without large bank
roll, conditions will not change.
Nick Nixon of Brawley enter
tained with two splendid vocal
solos, accompanied by Mrs. Estelle
Livingston.

new Line OF
TRUCKS SHOWN
BY STUDEBAKER

A complete new line of Stude-
baker trucks has been introduced
70 the motor transport world at
the New York automobile show. In
addition 10 Il and 2-ton chassis
with even more power longer
wheelbases and sturdier chassis, a
s-ton truck makes its appearance
for the first time.
The new Studebaker 3-ton truck
IS the lowest priced Of IT'S capacity
o. the market. The 2-ton chassis
remains the worlds lowest priced
2-ton truck and the lis-ton unit
Is the most powerful ever listed at
It's price.
Wheelbases on the 3-ton unit are
l4i. 1853, los and l93 inches. On
the 2-ton truck they are l4l, l53
and los inches. The lh-ton
Studebaker Is available in two
wheelbases OF l30 and l65 inches.
One Of the most important i'm
rrovements in the new Studebaker
.rueks is an increase in power OF
The 6-cylinder engine TO rs horse
power.
This motor has many other sig
nificant improvements. Chief
among these is a newly developed
electro-plated cast iron piston
which gives considerably increased
performance and materially les
sened cylinder wear. Pistons are
plated with a non-ferrous metal,
bringing two dissimilar metals into
contact. AS q result, friction is re-
duced, yet a closer-f!tting freer-
acting, self-lubricating piston sur
face is obtained which minimizes
the possibility OF scoring and pre-
vents piston slap.
In a recent factory test, after
10000 miles of operation with the
throttle wide open. it was found
that the fit of the new plated
pistons equalled that OF the con-
yentional cast iron piston when
new.
Unusually smooth power flow has
been obtained through the use OF
a heavy, doubly balanced ana
counterweighted crankshaft, Lam
chester vibration damper, rubber
engine mountingS and the perfect
matching and balancing TO IS Of
an ounce of piston and connecting
rod assemblies.

NEW YORK, Jan. %. U.p>-The
stock market resumed its decline
after a brief period of firmnesS
near the end of the first hour.
Prices slipped off fractions TO
more than 2 points with railroad
shares leading the setback. To-
ward the close a small amount of
short covering brought the leaders
up from their lows, but the market
closed under the previous close and
at the lowest levels since Janu-
ary Z.
Railroad shares reacted when II
was learned the wage conference
at Chicago had again been post
poned until afternoon. The street
did not anticipate a wage reduc-
ton decision before next week.
Passing of the reconstruction fl
nance corporation measure and
signing of a new standstill agree
ment on German short term debts
failed to stir the market out Of its
lethargic decline. The former had
been anticipated and hence the ac-
tual announcement brought in
some of the usual selling.
