WILL GET
PHEASANTS

In the spring a pheasant's
fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love.
On that slightly added adage,
Frank T. Gartside, chief of public
parks, is basing an experiment
in providing Rock Greek Park
with wild ring-necked pheaSants.
Dogs. foxes and ambitious young
boys may complicate the task,
but the ring-necked variety of
pheasants is a hardy one, Mr..
GartSide points out, and he be-
lieves the game birds will thrive
there. ~
The addition of pheasants to
the list of wild fowl and animals
now roaming through the park
system has long been desired by
Chief Gartside. Other animals
already thriving in their natural
state are foxes, offers, muskrats,
squirrels, pigeons, quail, part
ridges, ducks and weasels.

A sIashing price reduction
in Pontiac six prices brings
the important neU feat
ures of nineteen thirty
tWO, POntiGc's Big-cGr
riding comfort, to a new
and lou price LeUeI.
Thus, as the National Exhibit Of
General Motors products opens, effec-
tive April 2, Pontiac Six, chief of 1892
values, further establishes its value
leadership.
These reductiOns-up to $50 per car
represent exceedingly important saw
ings to motorists who desire the refine
ments and riding comfort usually found
in larger cars, but who wish to pur-
chase these quantities at low price.
These prices are the very lowest ever
quoted for Pontiac cars and are for the
finest and largest six cycIinder cars
Pontiac has ever built. The resulting
values are, we believe, the very great
est ever offered the American public
during the whole of the motor cars
history. They mean, new basis of
motor car values, a new incentive to
the American people to buy motor
cars n0lU.

To the Merrick country home one
day come Max Lawrence, a famous
painter; Winifred, Lauras sister and
common law wife of Max, and
Leone, Laura's daughter, just home
from her first year in college.

too much for his own good and is

theories concerning the necessity for
experience.
In desperation Leone turns to
Max in order to acquire the expert
ence she must have in order to
marry this young man.
But Laura herself has set her cap
for Max, believing him to be the
person who first taught her the
facts of life.
When Max actually falls in love
with Leone and decides to elope
with her, the plot not only thickens,
but almost coagulates. However,
Leone comes to her senses, her
