When buying a low-priced car, do as
America is doing: Count cylinders!
And you'll say, as America is saying:
"SIXl No more. No lessp' America is
saying that in the most convincing way
it could possibly be said! With SALES!
Since January 1st, the public has pur-
chased more Chevrolets than the COM
bined total of all four cylinder cars
and all eights priced under $1,000.
Why? America counted cylinders and
came to this conclusion: six is the ideal
number for a car of lowest price!
No more, because an engine with extra
cylinders is bound to cost more for gas,
oil and upkeep. No less, because six is
the smallest number of cylinders you can
have in a car and avoid the undesirable
effects of inherent vibration.
A six, as Chevrolet builds it, is the
happy medium between two ex-
trenes. 1t gives unexcelled economy.

Lincoln History
To Be 'Debunked'
By Organization

FORT WAYNE, Ind, July 16. U.H
"A campaign ito debunk Abraham
Lincoln's debunkers" has been an
nounced here by DR.. Louis A. War
ren, director of the Lincoln Nation
al Life Foundation.
THE 'debunklng' of Lincoln be-
gan in the 1860 campaign and many
of the irresponsible stories circulat-
ed at that time have lived until
now, and lost none of their sensa-
tional aspects during the years."
DR.. Warren said. Biography
should be based on facts and not
on fiction.
For example, many historians
have grossly exaggerated the pur-
ported deficiencies in character of
Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln.
They have spoken of him as an
idler, trifling and rover; as an
ignorant. shiftless vagabond'; and
as without ambition for himself or
his children
Now it so happens that the Lin
coin National Life Foundation is
erecting in Fort Wayne this summer
an heroic bronze statue of 'Abra-
ham Lincoln, the Hoosier Youth 1t
is the work of Paul Manship, ia
nous New York and Paris sculptor
and porUrays Lincoln as a youth of
81, just before he accompanied his
father on the trip to New Salem,
III.
mo pictures OF Lincoln at this
period are available, and so Mr..
Manship and 1 dug deep into the
records of Lincoln's youth, and par
ticularly into all available records
of Thomas Lincoln, TO determine
how the boy Lincoln must have ap-
peared when he roVed The Indian
frontier.
I'VE discovered that Thomas Lins
coin was descended from long line
Of illustrious citizens and patriots,
that the Lincoln family was held
in high esteem in Revolutionary
days"

record that's something to shoot at.
During his 10 years service he
has apprehended $4,000 motorists
for speeding and other violations
although only 5000 have been ar
raigned in court.
He received the soubriquet Two
Gun" upon joining the force. The
late Chief Fred Goodhue asSayed
to show him how to handle gun.
But Baker, a native of Texas, had
handled guns since childhood. He
grabbed the chiefs gun and his
own and fired both simultaneously,

NO PEDDLING'
CARDS PROVING
MOST EFFECTIVE

Complaints coming to the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce from
manufacturers and district heads
of companies which sell their mer-
chandise from house to house are
proof that the mo peddler" cards
sent to every residence in the city
by the local chamber last winter
are effectively cutting down the
number of agents and peddlers sell
| ing from house to house in Ell
Centre, according to Robert Hays,
/ manager of the chamber.
when these cards were first dis
tributed," states Hays, numerous
telephone calls were received at
chamber headquarters from house
wives, stating that the agents
called at the homes despite the
no peddler' card displayed on the
porch. Although the agents may
have continued to call, they could
not have been getting orders for
merchandise to any great extent,
for in the past three months a
number of letters have been re-
ceived at the chamber complaining
about the cards and stating that
they interfere with house to house
sales.
"One firm" Hays continued,
"sent their district manager TO
the chamber and he stated that he
could not get even local represen-
tatives to sell their product be-
cause the no peddler' cards inter-
fered with the approach of the So
licitor. While this is very unfor-
tunate for the person soliciting, it
is the result our directors hoped to
achieve from the distribution Of
, these cards. We want the people
of this city to buy in Ell Centro
and to patronize the local merchant
who contributes to the growth and
prosperity of the community pays
taxes here and employs local
residents"

AS SUIT WAS
PENDING
Action to Bar Alexandria
Attorney for Alleged
Malpractice Begins

Testimony that Neal O'Leary,
complainant in the Alexandria
" divorce mill " charges, was
planning to be married while
his divorce was still pending,
was brought out today before
three justices in Alexandria IN
the action to have Attorney
Richard B. Washington show
cause why he should not be
disbarred.
OLeary charges in an affidavit
that the attorney told him that he
did not have to live in Virginia to
get his divorce and that he only
needed witnesses to testify as to
his Virginia residence.
Altar Trip Stopped
Letters introduced today alleged
that O'Leary, who IS now await
ing trial on perjury charges grow
ing out of his suit for divorce, was
planning to marry Sadie Metcalf,
but that the marriage plans were
broken up by the girls sister when
she discovered O'Leary had been
married.
1t was also alleged that O'Leary
had obtained the testimony of
Alma Akers, of WASHINGTON, a
friend of Miss Metcalf, to show
that he had lived in Virginia.
Defense Stand
Defense Counsel Frank Ball,
former State Senator, is expected
to base his fight to vindicate
Washington on the fact that as
OLeary is already under indicC-
ment for perjury his testimony
should not be credited.
Washington, city court attaches
say, during the last Is years
has tried between 400 and 500
divorce cases, about go per cent
of all such cases brought before
