BETTER PERFORMANCE. Greater power,
new speed, quicker acceleration, smoother per-
Torrance, more miles per gallon especially at
higher speeds, and quicker starting in cold
weather-aIl these result from the new dual car
buretor and dual intake manifold. New water
line thermostats enable the engine to warm up
more quickly and to maintain an efficient oper-
ating temperature. Added engine refnements
reduce oil consumption, further improve operat-
ing economy and reduce maintenance costs.
NEW VENTILATION SYSTEM permits clear
vision, prevents drafts and provides desired
amount of fresh air in any weather. Individual
control for front and rear side windows. When
ventilation is desired the window glass is raised

j. 8. WILL SELL
ELKS, DEER

Does anybody want an elk or
a buffalo? Or perhaps a few
white-tailed deer or some Of the
mule variety?
If they do, Uncle Sam has some
for sale.
The Bureau of Biological Sur
vey of the Department of Agri-
culture has called for bids on ITO
surplus animals on big-game pre-
serves in Montana, Nebraska, and
North and South Dakota. And,
the bureau says, if you have tough
teeth and like buffalo or elk
steaks for dinner, the older ones
may be bought for the frying pan.
Those less than two years old will
be disposed of for breeding and
exhibition purposes only.
State or municipal parks, ZOOS
or game preserves may obtain
those animals not sold under the
bureaus invitation, at the cost Of
handling and transportation.
The surpluses are disposed of
annually to prevent overgrazing
the ranges. The animals have
increased under protection and
must be weeded out to prevent
malnutrition.

FRANKLIN BANK
PLAN STUDIED
IS

Officials of the Franklin Ma
tional Bank and of the Treasury
are scheduled to hold a confer
ence this afternoon in an effort
to arrive at an agreement for
reopening the bank.
Neither group would comment
on the exact nature of the con-
ference, but it is reported that it
is of vast Importance to deposi-
tors of the bank as two vital
questions involving the reopening
must be solved at this time.
These matters involve the will
lingness of the stockholders to
make a cash contribution to the
banks capital, and the Treasury's
willingness to increase the valua-
ton on the banks books of the
real estate belonging to the bank
and listed among it's assets.

It may have been kidnap at
tempt. But police are inclined to
believe that the brothers in Delta
Sigma fraternity had something
to do with it, despite their de-
mails.
But whatever it was, it was a
real thriller. Pedestrians passing
the Sixteenth Street Bridge heard
shrieks. They notified police, who
found George Skilton, 18year-old
Central High School senior, bound
hand and foot.
Two colored men had seized him
as he was on the way to the Ii
brary, dragged him into the brush,
bound and gagged him, then fled,
he said.
Puzzled at his story, especially
as no attempt had been made to
rob him, police learned that the
youth was on his way to a fra
ternity meeting.
Detectives went to the meeting,
but all the members insisted they
knew nothing of the affair.
Police, however, still believe the
kidnapping was a prank.

MURDER STORY
IS REVIVED IN
BOYS DEATH
Yacht Owner Says He Saw
Boy Resembling NeWsie
In Canoe With Man

Death of Francis Long, 12-year-
old newsboy. remains a battling
mystery, with detectives still un.
able to determine if it was an
accident or murder.
The murder theory, dropped
when it was determined the
youth had drowned, was revived
last night when Paul Hodges,
yacht owner, told police he be-
lieves he saw the youth in a
green canoe with strange man
the day of the Presidents Cup
Regatta.
A green canoe was found float
ing in washington Channel only
a few feet from where the body
of the boy came to the surface.
Hodges said the boy in the canoe
closely resembled the death youth.
Another thing brought out by
Hodges which strengthened the
murder theory was that on the
night the boy is believed to have
been drowned, Hodges was close
by on his launch with a friend
They heard no outcry, which
would have been expected if the
boy had gone over from the
canoe accidentally.
Working on the accident theory,
police learned the canoe had
been stolen from a nearby boat
house. They also learned the
youth had not been out collecting
money on his newspaper route
when he left home as first be
lieved, as his route book was
found later at home.
