RECORD ATTENDANCE AT
FORD OUTDOOR SHOWS
100000 Attend Carolina Ford Dealers
Open Air Shows During
First Two Days

Popularity Of the open air shows
being held this week by 122 Carolina
Ford dealers has exceeded all expec-
tations. According to Mr.. w. C. Pat
terson, manager of the Charlotte
branch of Ford Motor Company, over
a quarter-million visitors attended
the open air displays of the 1885 Ford
V-8 the first two days of the show.
"Such an attendance record shows
that there has been no let-up in the
interest of the car buying public in
the 1885 models" Mr.. Patterson
stated, "and", he added, "people COM
ing to these Ford V-8 open air shows,
being held simultaneously by dealers
in the two Carolinas, are enthusiastic
about the 1885 Ford V-8 cars"
The complete line of 1885 Fora V-8
passenger cars are on display as we'll
as Ford V-8 trucks and commercial
units. Of particular interest to most
visitors are the wide, roomy seats,
the beautiful interiors of Ford V-8,
the built-in luggage compartment,
the manner in which new weight dis
tribution has been gained by moving
the engine forward and mounting the
body upon an extended springbase of
1913 1-8 inches. This results in front
seat comfort for passengers in the
rear seat.

Now that the Weyerhaeuser kid
napers have been apprehended, the
next question is: What is to be done
with them? There is an ancient New
Jersey case in the law books wherein
a man was convicted of stealing six
small coins from a cupboard. The
prisoner was hanged. This seems a
little harsh but it is safe to say that
stealing coins from eupboards was
not a popular indoor sport in that
section of New Jersey for some time
thereafter. Kidnapping is likely to con-
tinue until even the attempt to COM
nit that crime is punished by prompt,
rough-handed treatment of the old
time vigilance committee variety,
judicially administered.

that the presnt outlay, operating

by way of tie arts of war in the past.
It is not new, by the way, for gov

seven hundrd thousand heads of

notwithstanding two hundred thou

, With a temperature in Washington
that is sending the thermometer up
with a summertime rapidity, the
House hopes to have clean calendar
by the middle of July. Among the
many things yet to be done is to give
the merchant marine a life of some
sort; give attention to transportation
especially by motor bus; make pro-
visions for handling labor disputes
to a better advantage; attend to
legislation concerning the AAA and
the IVA as we'll as the soft coal and
alcohol industries; and, finally but
not least, manage to keep alive the
so-called nuisance taxes on a long
list of commodities which ranges
from automobile trucks to matches.
Surely no one will begrudge their
representatives a vacation!

WASHINGTON, March IL. U.P)-
Smashing of the existing public
utility holding company system
was demanded by President Roose-

avoid government socialism,"
In one of the most fortnight
messages he has sent to congress
this session, Mr.. Roosevelt sup
ported fully the pending legislation
for stringent regulation of holding
companies and denounced the cam
paign of propaganda against it.
When reading of the message
was concluded in the house, the
entire Democratic membership rose
and applauded, an unusual spec
tacle. The chamber resounded with
clapping for more than a minute.
Rep. John Rankin (DemD Missis-
sippi, enemy of public utility hold
ing companies, became so excited
that he dropped his paper and PEN
ellis. Nearby members scattered to
miss his flying arms.
"Holding companies, - he said,
