THUGS IN DRIVE

NEW YORK, Dec. 27 GN.S0.
Police today hunted a band of
vandals who broke large display
windows in II restaurants Of
three extensive chains with gun
fire and missiles.
The gunner, speeding about
the city in a large sedan, wrought
havoc in Brooklyn and Manhat-
tan. Officials Of all three organ
izations could not explain the
destruction and told police they
had no labor troubles nor any
demands from racketeerS.
Although police radio cars
sought to intercept the sedan,
the unknown gunnerS successfully
eluded officers.

with plasna and some degree Of

K|NDLER URGES
SUPPORT FOR
SYMPHONY

About $4,000 added to the
present $4,000 budget of the
National Symphony Orchestra
would put that organization on
a basis where oteady employment
could be given to 80 musicians for
Q period Of 20 weeks according to
Hans Kinder, conductor Of the
orchestra.
Mr.. Kinder points out that
other symphony orchestras have
annual budgets Of 100000 to
100000. A great deal has been
accomplished, he believes, here in
Washington, but it is still neces-
sary to pay men by the concert
and by the rehearsal-an
obviously unsatisfactory arrange
ment. he says, which should not
continue indefinitely. He adds:
'The main advantage Of
such an arrangement ID that
rehearsals could be hello regu-
larIy and frequently instead OF
occasionally and under diff.
culties. The resultant improve
nent would, in my opinion,
more than Justify the increase
in the expense as the budget
would still remain less than
halt Of what the most moderate
OF symphony budgets Ordi-
narily amounts to.
'Tt also would enable us to
accept Outof-town engagements
at infinitely less cost than we
are now able to do, and. would.
In consequence, diminish the
seasonal deficit, as well as
give the orchestra the routine
50 essentially necessary"
It is announced that all per-
sons who subscribe $25 or more
to the sustaining fund Of the
orchestra will have a vote in the
election of officers next April. It
is planned to create a directorate
for the orchestra on such a basis
that eventually four directors will
be chosen annually.

GUT HIT.
BY ARMY, NAVY

Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
Coast Guard organizations today
centered an attack on a rider to
the Treasury-Po Postoffice supply bill
that is designed to prevent pay
ment Of reenlistment bonuses to
enlisted men.
! Enlisted men were originally
exempt from operations Of the
economy act. The rider, how
ever, proposes a saving Of $4,576,-
900 in their allowances.
George L. Carlin, editor Of the
United States Navy Magazine,
pointed out that rider would
prevent the payment to petty
officers and first class seamen
Of the 5000 bonus they now re-
ceive if they reenliSt in the
service before expiration Of 80
days. The bonus for ordinary
seamen is 500.

That's the physical sensation in motoring needed

make it rideable was not the answer.

Until the ESSEX TERRAPLANE, every car, no matter
what the size or price, has been built by perch
ing body on chassis. The powerplant, wheels,
frame and other chassis parts have been built in
one unit, the body-often produced in a separate
factory-in another.
The result has been duplication of materials
and an automobile needlessly high and need.
lessly heavy. To offset this, costly cars have been
ballasted with hundreds of deadweight pounds,
and many inexpensive cars have been ightened
to fimsiness.
In the TERRAPLANE, the body and chassis are of
unified design, single continuous unit skilfully
constructed around basic frame. The very floor
of the car is the rigid centerbrace of the weave
less Remembered frame-the frame reinforces the
body, the body the frame. Even the handsome
instrument panel is a strength.member serving

When Manners
Are Correct
By Mrs. Beeckman
On Parting

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I met the young man my girl
friend has been going about
with. When we met he told me
that she Cmy girl friend) has
talked about me to him, and
she had told me about him, too.
So, you see, we really felt that
we were acquainted. Also, we
have seen each other before.
When the two were leaving
I thought it would just be
friendly, so I said, I'm glad 1
met you" Now, my parents
think that was incorrect. Will
you please tell me under the
circumstances whether this was
incorrect? ANXIOUS.
I really can't imagine why
your parents think that it was
incorrect or inappropriate for
you to make this pleasant and
friendly comment under the cir.
cumstances. OF course, you we're
happy to meet this friend of
your friend, and, of course, you
should have said SO. Why hold
back such a nice thing to say?
incidentally. it is a bit better
to say, Il am very glad to
have met you" or I'm so happy
to have met you."

they're correct. Soft shades of

Afternoon FOrmality
Afternoon adds formality to

Of course suffering is a
nervous affliction, although
that is making the word "ner'

condition is one Of extreme
complexity and differs much
from one sufferer to another.

the subject is found in a recent
