Out in the villages and
hamlets, in the small-time
neighborhood movie areas,
audiences also have their
likes and dislikes, their
screen favorites, and it is
surprising how many, turned
down in the ornate first-run
theaters, find favor in the
so-called "sticks.''
Those stars who are fortu-
nate enough to please the
big city patrons and the
town folks alike are the

SALES TO SETTLE
FALL SHOW ISSUE
Head OF Automobile Manu-
faCturerS Doubts if Plan
Will Prove Sound.
BY the Associated Press.


:, NEW YORK, November 5.-The fu
ture of the experimental Fall date
'for the National Automobile Show,
now in progress. hangs in the bal
ance, with motor manufacturers de-
batting the merits of November or
January showings.
o Sales alone, they say, will settle
the issue.
Alvan Macauley. president of Pack
ard Motor Car Co, and also of the
Automobile Manufacturers Associa-
ton. doubts that the November exhibit
will prove sound.
In an interview he voiced his per-
sonal view that sales figures may
continue strong for month after
the current show and then go into
the usual slump before picking up,
as in the past, with the first touch
Of Spring.
Macauley stressed that, as head Of
the association. he favors the expert
ment of a November show to de-
termine whether consumer buying
habits can be changed so the demand
will be spread more through the year,
with a consequent leveline OF employ
raent.
But he believes consumers are not
interested in automobiles in Winter
and would prefer delaying their Sc
lection of a new car until Surfing.
He says the demand for motors in
the Fall is good enough without the
added impetus of national show.
The strongest argument favoring
the present November arrangement is
taken from actual manufacturing fig
ures.
The Associated Press index of auto
mobile production stands at 81 per
cent of the 1e29-30 average. Just
seven weeks ago the index was l4.6
per cent.
The change represents the greatest
rise against normal seasonal expecta-
tions in the history of the industry.

President Signs
Short Week Bill
For Post Office

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. UPD -
President Roosevelt today signed
the bill establishing a 40-hour week
for postal employees.
The measure was passed after
Postmaster General James A Far
ley withdrew his earlier opposition
and decided postal revenues were
sufficient to warrant the increased
cost OF the shorter week.
1t applies to some 235 900 en-
ployees who now work A hours a
week. It is expected to create en-
ployment for 1900 to 10000 sub
stitute employees who now work
part-time.
The new law provides for an
eight-hour day and fiye-day week.
Most post office employees now
work five eight-hour days and four
hours on Saturday.
It will apply to assistant post
masters, clerks, carriers and others.
Costing the post office depart
ment about $21 100000, the shorter
week will bring the postal service
into line with the policy of shorter
hours which the administration
has advocated for private industry
generally.

BANDITS SLAY
WASHINGTON
CITY MARSHAL

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. Is. UP)
"A bandit masquerading as a wo-
man and two desperate compan-
ions were hunted in the Inland
Empire today after a series of
shocking crimes which included a
bank holdup, a Staying and a kid
naping.
Searchers believed that the fugi-
tives had abandoned their auto
mobile flight to hide somewhere in
the Spokane area.
Bert Lemley, As, town marshal of
Rosalia, Wash, was slain by one of
the trio when he surprised them in
q holdup of the Rosalia bank. AS
Lemley stepped across the thresh-
ole of the bank, a bandit lookout
in a parked automobile sent bull
let through his back.
Two dark youths, without masks,
were in the bank at the time. They
scooped up between $1,000 and ST.
600, forced Mathew Elliot, 35, bank
cashier, to precede them as a shield
and stepping over Lemleys pody,
forced their way, shooting, through
a gathering crowd of citizens. None
was hit.
The crowd fell back before the
gunfire and the bandits, with Ell
lott as a captive, entered the au-
tomobile and fled on a highway
leading to Spokane, "a miles north.
Three miles out of Rosalia, they
threw the bank cashier out on the
highway.
Elliott said that the driver of the
machine, who fired the shot which
struck down Lemley, wore a dirty
gray dress and a woman's hat. He
was positive, however that the
costume was a disguise and that
the Wearer was a man.
The cashier said that the sides
of the bandit car, stolen in Cheney
two days ago, was lined with sheet
metal to keep out bullets.
