You can't get away
from the fact that
A SIX IS MORE
EC0N0M ICAL

Just moment, before deciding on that new low
priced car of yours. Have you lifted hoods
counted cylinders? And have you counted
ri6ht-the right number for greatest economy
of gas, oil, upkeep and maintenance?
There's no two ways about it: A six, as Chevrolet
builds it, is the only type of engine you can get
and not sacrifice some important factor of
economy!
Thousands of tests have proved .. engineers
have established (. . owner experience has con-
frmed THIS FACT: For lowest all-round motor
ing costs: SIX CYLINDERS. No more-No less!
Unless you do get SIX, one of two things is bound
to happen: Either you get too many cylinders
and sacrifice the economy for which Chevrolet is
so famous. Or you don't get enough cylinders
and sacrifice the kind of maintenance cost that
Chevrolet gives you-the lowest available in
today's low price market!

bag" Murders Worrying
New York Authorities.

New York.-An epidemic OF bag
murders. the latest refinement of
organized gang cruelty. Is laying
out some mental work of a heavy
weight order for the best minds of
half dozen police departments of
the metropolitan district.
Eight such killings have occurred
recently. While the police, with
their stock explanation, have had
the ready answer of "racketeers'
war" for them all, evidence Is not
lacking that other motives have
entered into the cycle. At least two
of them are believed to have been
due to revenge for previous muir
ders-one for a crime dating back
more than II months.
Similarly, while the police were
Inclined at first to credit each of
the murders to members of the
same gang-Owing to the similar
ity of methodist is now believed
that three and possibly four differ
ent gangs are involved.
Each of them, however. show the
same dexterity and brutality in
their handiwork. In each case the
body of the victim, more or less
mutilated. is found tightly trussed
usually with endless coils of
theSline-doubled in a burlap
bag, either in an abandoned auto
mobile or by some remote roadside.
In one mysterious instance two
bodies were found crammed to-
gether In the rumble seat of a road.
ster left standing by the curb of
an uptown Manhattan street.
In another case the slayers, loath
to waste their time in hiding the
grewsome evidence of their job,
simply drove up to the curb, rolled
the sacked body to the pavement,
and drove calmly away. leaving
awed passersby to wonder what
the bag might contain.
Incidentally. police are convinced
that ii is the pride of the "eXecu-
tion squads" specializing In this
mOdernized type of murder to bind
their victims in such manner
that they will strangle themselves
to death In their struggles to free
themselves of their bonds.
II Is a comparatively new trick.
The victim is first subdued by a
blow on the head with a blunt In

The contraband of tobacco is op-

bacco ashore and evading the
vigilance of the carabineros, whose
posts are stretched along the coast.

teen months since Joe the Boss"
was given gaudy gangster's
funeral-an outstanding one in that
a great floral cross. bearing the
portent initials "A. c." had the
place Of honor at the grave.
Thanks to Scarpato's own knowl-
edge of his impending doom at the
hands of the gangster vendetta. his
Identification was quickly deter
mined-when his body was found
despite the removal by his slayers
of all Identification marks from his
clothing.
Scarpato had never been arrest
ed. but after the killing of Joe the
Boss" he walked into Brooklyn
police headquarters and declared:
They're going to get me for
this killing. They think that | put
Joe the Boss on the spot. wish
you'd take my fingerprints so that
my body will be identified"
Another of the recent bag mur-
der" victims was believed by the
police to have been slain In re-
venge for his supposed connection
with the gang warfare outbreak
eliminating in the massacre of
three ''kingpins" of the Pittsburgh
alcohol racket. He was trailed to
Brooklyn. dispatched in the usual
way and his sacked body tumhled
out of the door of a moving auto
mobile in a Brooklyn street.

Malaga, Spaln.-The blue waters
Of the Mediterranean, famous for
the activities of pirates. corsairs,
and contraband runners. still is the
busy scene of smuggling of tobacco.
Since the republic has raised the
taxes on tobacco. the price of ciga-
rettes legally acquired in Spain is
higher-hence the added incentive
to the feet of tobacco runners.
In an area onS as big as that of
a handful of American states, there
is a gamut of varying jurisdictions.
which handicaps the authorities
and. conversely, renders the task
of the tobacco runner easier.
