ROTARIAN BOND
OF FELLOWSHIP,
HELPFULNESS

Rotarians, said Sinclair Lewis In
one of his novels, are boy Scouts in
long pants" The description was
meant as gibe. At its twenty-fifth
annual convention, held in Detroit,
Rotary International turned the 9TH
er cheek to the novelist. After he
had thanked Mr.. Lewis for the jeer,
Fred w. Gray of Nottingham, Eng
land, one of the delegates, said: IF
we can eliminate laws and rules for
vocational service, we shall produce
a type of Rotarian who never can
be labeled a Babhitt."
The organization, which was start
ed in Chicago, in 1905, by Paul Percy
Harris as a social club to promote
fellowship and profit among business
men, has grown to one of worldwide
Importance in which fellowship and
service predominate and in which the
greater stress is laid on service. 1t

keynote. Service Above Self-He

slogan on the Rotary escutcheon.

are now to be found In nearly every
corner of the globe. On July 1. 1888.
Rotary International, established in

tary "enunciated the New Deal of
human helpfulness more than twelve
years ago and was laughed at for its
philosophy."-Literary Digest.

more than two years not one bill of
the $40 denomination appeared again.
Meanwhile, some IS 900 in SIS and
$40 bills were passed to small store
keepers at various locations through
out the city.
"The small denominations of these
bills and their common use made
them practically useless to us, vet
entailed an individual Investigation

disheartening fact of the seeming
failure, our men refused to be dis
heartened. Three weeks ago $40 and
$50 gold certificates appeared in the
Yorkville and Fordham sections of
the city.
"Storekeepers, garage owners and
all merchants, particularly gas sta

into the search for his kidnapped son
without reserve.
Night and day he pressed personally
the futile hunt, attempting also to con-

1T was a futile hope. Postcards and
letters from cranks arrived at the
Lindbergh estate by the score. Some
threatened harm to the child, others
said he would die.
The colonel bravely devoted every
waking hour to the search, conferred
with officials. Then on March 4 he
issued an appeal to the Ndnapcrs to

By the Associated Press.
Since the Lindbergh kidnapping
tragedy, the United States Justice De-
partment has worked on 20 abduction
cases and investigated thousands Of
tips and clues on the Lindbergh case.
Here are some of the outstanding
kidnapping cases in which the Bureau
of Criminal Investigation has partici-
pated.
Charles Boettcher, I'd, Of Denver,
Colo, who was seized February IL.
1888, and released on March l, after
the payment of $50, 900 ransom. Those
arrested were REQ Verne Sankey, who
later committed suicide before trial;
Arthur Henry Youngberg, who got a
16-year prison sentence and was fined
81 900; Carl w. Pearce, who drew q
26-year sentence, and Gordon Alcorn,
who was sentenced to the penitentiary
for life.
Get SO Years.
John Jake the Barber" Factor of
Chicago, an international speculator,
who was kidnapped and later released
after the payment of $1,000 ransom.
Roger D. Touhy, Gustav Schactel and
A. J. Lamar have been convicted of
taking part in the abduction and SEN
fenced to serve SO years. Basil THE
Owl" Banghart also was taken into
custody in connection with the case.
Willie Sharkey, Midwestern bad man,
was arrested but committed suicide
while awaiting trial
August Luer of Alton, ILL.,, was kid
naped July 10, 1893, and released six
days later. No ransom was paid.
Percy M Fitzgerald, Randall E. Nor
veil, Lillian Chesson, Mike Musiala,
Charles Chesson and C. N. Gitcho were
convicted of the crime. The first three
drew life sentences; MuSiala 20-year
asentence and Chesson and Gitcho, s.
year terms.
100000 Paid for Urschel.
One of the most spectacular kid
naping cases was that of Charles F.
Urschel of Oklahoma City, who was
taken July %, 1888, and released on
August l, 1888, after the payment Of
100000 ransom, S79 $3.50 of which has
since been recovered. Among those
! arrested for this abduction were AL

Kelly, his wife, Kathryn Kelly, and
Harvey j. Bailey. Bates, Bailey and
Machine Cum Kelly are now at

Hamm Case Unsolved.
Cases which have not been solved
are those of William Hamm and Ed
ward C. Bremen, both of st. Paul.
Members of the Touhy gang of Chicago
were acquitted of completely in the
Hamm case. The Department of JUS

Keystone Sees Speed Menace.

Keystone Sees Speed Menace.
Warming of a possibly unfavorable
reaction on the part of the Nations
motor vehicle authorities to the fact
that speed is playing an increasingly
dangerous role in street and highway
mishaps was sounded here today py
the Keystone Automobile Club. That
motorists may find themselves sub
jected to more restrictive speed laws,
and more rigorous enforcement of
them, is an eventuality which must
be reckoned with, the clubs statement
said.
Accident reports from all parts of
the country" the statement quotes
Leslie Jay Hannah, club manager,
show not only the total number Of
mishaps increasing, but also the strik-
ing and significant truth that the
ratio of fatal to non-fatal accidents
is rising as a markedly rapid rate.
This latter fact is attributed by many
analysts to the circumstance that
motordom has increased its speed be-
yond the point at which it is qualified
to control the cars it operates. They
base their deduction to some extent
upon the evidence showing that the
number of new cars-faster than ever
before-is especially prominent in the
accident tabulations.
with reference to the factor Of
speed in accidents, fatal and nom
fatal, a point is made that should be
Of interest to all car owners. It is
that acceleration speed, as well as
that relating to the cars peak per-
Torrance, is frequently dangerous
unless the driver is wary.
AN increasingly common type of
mishap is that in which the vehicles
extremely fleet pickup is employed in
congested areas. The same degree of
pressure on the acclerator that pro-
duced moderate speed in the old
model car will shoot the latest type
OF vehicle up to a speed Of 80 or IS
miles an hour. In close quarters,
where pedestrian may step of the
curb or from behind a parked auto
mobile or where another vehicle of a
lower order of speed may block ones
path, the motorist may find this pace
impossible of control. Accident rec
ords attest that frequently he does
find it So"

Believe It or not. less air will blow

Differentials are just q bit out Of
any woman's line. but knowing a little
about this important unit Of the car
will help to avoid mechanical trouble
with it. The unit is a group of gears
which permit one rear wheel to slow
down without affecting the speed Of
the other, necessary arrangement for
taking curves, traversing rough roads
and applying the brakes. The differ
entail gears do not rotate until there
is change in the relative speeds of
the two rear axles and for that reason
they are not subject to much wear
unless there are abnormal conditions.
One of these is having less air in one
Of the rear tires than in the other.
The effect Of this is to make one rear
wheel little smaller than the other,
causing continuous wear on the
differential, however slight this may
be for any given mile.
