will the county dispensaries be
opened at any time a doctor feels
that a patient must have liquor.
If not, the druggist contend,
some provision must be made in
which they may be allowed to
function as they did under
National Prohibition.
County druggists are expected
to meet and demand a formal
ruling from the commission,
demanding that their right to
fill prescriptions shall not be
taken from them.

DOUG To BUILD
NEW HOME IN
CALIFORNIA
London Lawyers Statement
Is Surprise; Actor Maintains
Dignified Silence

ST. NORTH. Switzerland, Dec,
Q O.N.S0. Douglas Fairbanks,
skiing in the Austrian Tyrol today
declined to comment on the filing
of a divorce suit against him in
Los Angeles by Mary Pickford.
He authorized a brief statement
given out through a personal
friend, w. A. Riordan. saying:
"Mr. Fairbanks has no state
ment to make, and he will con-
tinue his silence regarding per-
SOnal matters"
The statement was identical
with one given out in London
earlier in the day, revealing Fair
banks plans to return to Cali
fornia soon and build a new home
on his ranch there.
LONDON, Dec. 9 G.N.s).
'Mr. Fairbanks will continue his
dignified silence regarding per
sOnal matters"
This statement was issued today
''in behalf Of" Douglas Fairbanks
by his London representative fol
lowing filing Of a suit for divorce
by Mary Pickford in Los Angeles.
Plans u. S. Return
The statement, understood to
have been issued after these rep
resentatives had been in tele-
phonic communication this morn
ing with Fairbanks at st. Moritz,
Switzerland, contained no further
reference to the divorce itself, but
revealed plans Of the famous
screen actor to return to Califor-
MIA in the near future.
There he will build, on h S
Southern California ranch. a new
h ON e, having decided Pickfair,
Beverly Hills mansion in which
the couple long ruled as Amer
ica's Sweethearts," to Miss Pick
ford.
This new home probably will
become as symbolic Of the present
world-travelling life of Fairbanks
as Pickfair was of the days when
Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pick
ford were regarded as the ideal
couple, leading life Of happiness
brilliantly reflected in the elab-
crate Beverly Hills home.
New Spanish Home
1aUordin~ Rairhank's nlanS the
statement said:
"As soon as Mr.. Fairbanks
finishes two pictures he is max
ing in Spain and England. he
will return to California.
"Since he has assigned the
deed to PiCkfair to Mrs. Fair
banks, he will build another
home on his 2,OOO-acre citrus
ranch in Southern California.
It will be Of the finest true
Spanish type"
Apparently any replies Fair
banks intends making to Mary's
charges Of negligence, indiffer'
ence and mental cruelty will be
made in court.
For today there was only the
assertion that the travel-loving
actor would build another home.
probably utterly unlike Pickfair
except in magnificence, there to
live the new life, alone.

accounts. Just for a change. let's
revive that lovely old almost for.
gotten fashion of spending money.
And let's spend it on something
worth while-aS, for instance, a
nice new automobile.
Go to the Automobile Show
opening this evening at the Wash
ington Auditorium and see if you
can't find a car which will aid
you in reestablishing the buying
habit. If your feminine conscience
is still uneasy, remind yourself
and your husband-that about the
most unselfish expenditure you
can make is new automobile.
Clothes-jewelry-candy-these
the personal luxuries for the
woman who buys them. But if
she purchases-or inspires the
purchase-of a new car, she's
doing something for her husband,
something for the children. some
thing for everybody in the family.
Surely these women have
earned new cars thousand times
over during these depressed years
when they've been driving old
ones, patiently and cheerfully and
indefatigably! At the AutomO
bile Show they will find that the
new models are designed moIs
carefully than ever for pleasing
feminine taste and convenience
and thrift.
The Washington times., 1933-01-28

lamps, radiators and rear ends.
Both the flowing and sloaping
V-type design will be seen.
There is more room in the
bodies and the upholstery even in
the lowest-priced models is finer
than ever before.
A host of new gadgets and de-
vices are offered which make
operation almost automatic.
A new type starter button has
been produced. Another electrical
improvement is the ignition
booster" This adds to making
starting easier in cold weather.
An appropriate setting has been
arranged for the Washington
Autotomobile Exhibition in the
Auditorium which will present
different appearance than in pre-
vious years. Upon entering the
visitors will see the new cars pic
turized in a Dutch" atmosphere.
To fit the incomes of today, the
Automobile Show admission prices
have been reduced, although the
cost of the show itself remains as
high as in former years.
Take your family to the show
tonight, tomorrow or any day
during the coming week. Buy a
car. Every car sold means more
employment and will stimulate
buying in every industry.

has done nothing else it has
proved that the women of this
country really belong to the
saving sex. During hard times,
they have shown themselves mar
vels Of ingenuity in fittin to-
gether family needs and lowered
incomes. Millions of wives and
mothers have qualified as per-
sonifications of thrift-all the
credit in the world to them
for it.
We have one New Year sug-
gestion to make to these heroines
of the new economy. It can
like everything else-be carried
too far. Sometimes-the present
moment seems to us one of those
times-you can save too much,
just as, on other occasions. you
can spend too much.
We ask a lot of women if
they can't loosen up the purse

can't spend just a little more
money. and so help to put it in

car creations, representing the
largest number of models ever
assembled under one roof are on
display in competition at the
Auditorium.
A review of the show models
makes it apparent that there IS
no depression in the engineering
field. Millions of dollars have
been poured into this branch
of the industry to produce the
amazing 1888 values. Generally
lowered prices and more car for
the dollar will be the very evi.
dent keynote of this years dis

The 1888 cars reveal that the
manufacturers have responded in
creating new motor car luxury
and comfort to public demand.
New body designs feature the ex.
position. The body style trend
is swinging toward Streamline de-

and to make for better economy

Regal Young Man
Killed Last Week
Theodore Newgard Aged FL, Met
With Death When Car Went
Off Road

A sad accident occurred at about
2 o'clock last Sunday morning
which took the life of one young
man, Theodore Newgard, 21 years
old, when the car he was driving
went off the road about mile west
of the Gust Haskie place in the Re
gal community. The young man
and two companions, Vernon Fang
meier and Allen Gunderson, were
returning home from party
when the tragedy took place. Yer
non Fangmeier received a fracture
and several bad cuts while the
other young man was only slightly
bruised. The car driven by New
gard was a Ford Model T roadster.
Due to snowfall it is thought that
the driver had difficulty in seeing
the road. The car skidded on an icy
spot and went into the ditch, New
gard being pinned underneath and
his neck was broken. He was rush
to the local hospital but was dead
before arriving here. Theodore
Newgard is a son Of Joe Newgard
of the Regal community. Besides
his father and step-mother, he is
survived by a brother, one half
brother and half sister.
Funeral services for the young
man were conducted yesterday af-
ternoon from the home of an aunt
and later at the Crow River church
with burial in the church cemetery.
The whole community in which
Ted Newgard made his home has
been deeply saddened by his death,
and sympathy is extended to the
bereaved family. -Paynesville

Mid-Lenten Ser
vices at Zion Luth.
Rev. j. F. Schumacher, Pastor, Has
Prepared a Helpful, Instruc-
tive Program

Beginning with next week We'd
nesday, March 1, special Lenten
services will be held in Zion Luth-
eran Church during Lent every
Wednesday at 500 p. M.
Our pulpit message during Lent
is no different from the message
proclaimed in our church through
out the year. 1t does emphasize,
however, in their glorious signifi-
canoe some of the outstanding fea-
lures of the passion story of our
Lord and Saviour: The Cross of
Christ is still the heart and centre
of the Gospel and the redemption
of the world.
The strange, crossless Gospel
which is proclaimed in many places
today under the name of modern
ism and which exalts the moral
Christ rather than the redeeming
Christ has, of course, no special
Lenten appeal.
The redeeming Christ is the
centre of our Lenten message. Since
the redemption wrought by Christ
is to all men the "one thing need
full" we earnestly invite you to
these services. f. Schumacher,
Pastor.

Bill Was Filed
Attorneys for M. e. Clutches File
Particulars-Five Days Remain
for SWenO to File Bill

The Leader understands that at
torneys for M. e. Clutches, commits
sioner from the fifth district, have
filed a bill of particulars as order
ed by Judge j. A. Roeser in dis
trict court at Little Falls some
time ago.
Attorneys for Henry Sweno, who
is contesting Mr.. Clutches election,
have 10 days in which to file a bill,
of which four days remain. With
both parties to the contest having
filed their bills of particulars, the
preliminary work will have been
completed to allow the case to go
to trial. There is at this time,
however, little indication that the
case will be tried until the spring
term Of court.
All the judges in the district are
now busy holding court at various
places in the district and it is un-
likely that any of them will find
time to come here for a special
session. In view of the fact that
the case will be a court case, that
is tried without a jury, the case
will, II continued to the spring
term, be one of the last cases called.

Aged Woman,
Nephew Victims
Son Tries to Save Mother in Fire
Destroying HOme-Leaps
Through Window

Evansville, Feb. 18-Balked from
escape by flaming stairway, two
persons were burned to death at
farm home here yesterday.
The dead:
Mrs. Alice Henry, 20, mother of
Ted Henry, who owned the home;
Glen Whitaker, II, nephew Of Mrs.
Henry.
Seeking desperately to save his
mother, the SON rushed into her
bedroom but found no one there.
Mrs. Henry apparently had tried to
leave by the stairway and, overcome
by smoke, had fallen through the
flaming passageway.
"a leap through an upstairs win
dow saved Henry, while Whitaker,
trapped by the flames, was unable
to escape. Nothing remained Of
the home and its contents, but
ashes. The two victims were burn
ed beyond recognition.
