BROTHERS ADMIT CRIMES

Ronney Voyles, member of the
local police force, and Earl Bonner,
known also as Toughy Baker, are
suffering from gunshot wounds re-
ceived in duel between the two
which took place shortly before

Mutual packing shed at New and
Orange streets. Voyles, with two
wounds, one in his left side and
the other in the left arm, is at La
Solana hospital, while Bonner who
was shot in the stomach was taken
to the county hospital.
Reports received later today are
to the effect that the wounds re-
ceived by Voyles are not serious,
the bullets piercing the flesh with
out hitting any bones or vital
organs. The wound received by
Bonner, it is said, is not con-
sidered dangerous as it passed
across his stomach just under the
skin with no organs being touched.
Both men are expected to recover
unless complications should set in.
Information received at police
headquarters concerning the shoot
ing states that while Voyles wa
making his regular patrol this
morning he saw Clyde Bonner, 26.
brother of Earl, in the shed and
went over to investigate. He did
not see the other man who was
lying down on cot.
While talking with Clyde Bon
ner, Earl approached and stuck a
gun in Voyles' side, asking what
he was doing there. The officer
saw that he was in imminent dang
er especially as Earl started to
pull back the hammer of the pistol.
Voyles grabbed at the gun just as
Bonner pulled the trigger but the
cartridge failed to explode.
With his hand still holding Bon
ner's gun, Voyles pushed it aside
just as Bonner got the gun to
shoot, two bullets striking the Of
ficer. Clyde Bonner, also armed.

FORD PACKAGED-PARTS InE,
Ford Parts in Cartons, Labeled
Numbered For Identification

Motor car parts in attractive
colored cartons! At first blush the
notion seems as incongruous a
that of a baseball bat tied with
pink ribbon, or cantilever bridge
wrapped in cellophane. But the
idea is far from incongruous-
whether in an aesthetic or practi-
cal sense-as the experience of the
Ford Motor Company, which is
pioneering it among automobile
manufacturers, amply attests. Bv
supplying its dealers with parts
and accessories in individual car
tons of Autographed cardboard. Iab-
eled, numbered and coIored for tbe
ready identification of the contents
the Ford company has achieved
among other, these considerable re-
suits: Assured the purchaser that
he is receiving genuine Ford parts.
clean and untarnished, and effec-
lively safeguarded him-and his

greasy metals. Changed the aver
age service stockroom from a place
of dark and dirty bins and shelves
into an attractive display room.

and accurate inventory of his stock

quent increase in the sales of parts
and accessories. Greatly faciIitat-
ed the handling, shipping and

The cardboard cartons employed
as containers for Ford parts vary
in size from the cubic-inch box
that holds a float needle valve, Ia
the cubic-foot box that holds a head
lamp assembly. The identifying
color-combinations are based on a
color chart" prepared by Ford
artists so that, whatever thei,
juxtaposition, they are pleasing to
the eye. The packaged-parts idea
probably in time, will be adopted
by all motor companies and the un-
slightly parts bins of the old garage
stockroom become as outmoded as
! the cracker barrel of the old-time
country general store.
