NEW YORK. Nov. Presidents
Of tenementS in teeming Harlem or
ganized patrols today to aid police
efforts TO trap a pyromaniac held
responsible for the deaths of
mother and her five children in a
fire that threatened 40 other lives.
Police revealed after the tragedy
that more than 20 other fires in a
limited, densely crowded area Of
Harlem in the last two months
probably were incendiary.
Sets Two Fires
The hunted maniac set two fires
early yesterday. In one. a blaze
that swirled up the stair well of
an old five-story tenement with in
adequate fire escapes. Mrs. Mar
guerite Di Donate, SO. was burned to
death with her children. two bows
and three girls ranging in age from
Z to IA.
Louis Di Donate, head of the fam
lily was found wandering later in
the street in his underclothes.
Apparently a half dozen persons
discovered the fire simultaneously
after it had gained terrifying head
way through the draughty halls of
the building. When firemen ar
rived men. women and children were
leaning from smoke filled windows
high above the street screaming for
rescue.
40 Persons Escape
Approximately 40 persons had es-
capped over rear balconies to adj
joining buildings but persons asleep
in front rooms were cut off from
exits.
Firemen carried the trapped per-
sons down 85-foot extension lad
derS.
The flremen thought they had
rescued every one in the building
until. after the fire was extinguished,
they come upon the Di Donate FAM
lily. Mrs. Di Donate, clad in a
charred night dress. lay on the
smoldering floor. Atop her and
around were her children. The two
smallest were pillowed on her arms.
as though she had tried to protect
them from TIE fire.

CONGRESS SHIFT
C0UGHL|N'S aim
Radio Priest Would Change
Legislators Complexion;
ASSaiIS Roosevelt.
By United Press

By cntted Press
DETROIT, Nov. 4. The Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin and his Ma
tional Union for Social Justice
opened campaign today to change
the complexion of Congress.
In his first radio speech of a new
season, Coughlin yesterday aimed
the greater part of his fire at Con-
gress. He said the slogan "Roose-
welt or Ruin on which he sup
ported the President in 1882, might
be changed to Roosevelt and Ruin"
unless public opinion removes from
Congress the rubber stamps of
moribund minded men who have
lost sight of their duty as repre-
Sertatives of the American people. "
Coughlin has been off the air all
summer; hence his National Union
has not been in the news. 1t is
estimated his weekly addresses this
fall and winter will reach 100000
Yesterday he outlined his line of
battle.
First, to bend every effort to re-
turn Christianity against paganism
and any other ism which Opposes
the Christian concept of life.
Second, to fight unto death, if
necessary, for the retention of the
American democratic system Of gov
eminent, together with its repub-
lican institutions.
Third, to retain our entire Con-
stitution, including the right of
Congress to coin and regulate
money.
Fourth, to impress upon this
audience the President and his
Cabinet are negligible entities COM
pared to the Congress of the United
States, which is composed of our
law-making Representatives and
Senators.
Coughlins attack on Congresses
of the past go or 80 years" was
couched in blazing sentences. He
said in part:
A history of recent Congresses
has been history of men who
were more interested in acquiring
patronage than they were in
securing equitable legislation for the
thousands and hundreds of thou
sands OF citizens who received no
jobs :"
"Oftentimes, there was as little
distinction between a Democratic
and Republican member of Congress
as there was between two worms
gnawing on one apple. Exploitation
OF the inarticulate people continued
until wealth was concentrated in the
hands of the few"

Party Plans to 'Reargue

Beaten in the first court test, the
Socialist Party of Indiana today
prepared to reargue its case in SUI
perior Court against the Socialist
Party of Indiana, Inc.
Ruling on a demurrer, Superior
Judge William A. Pickens last week
declared that Charles R. Rogers,
Socialist state chairman, had not
followed proper procedure in his
suit to enjoin the incorporated

The Ugliest Part
Behind the ear is the uglieSt

If you want your eyes dunked into

After all, a permanent wave or

Seven States Test New Deal
BY United Pres

Voters in eight states will cast
ballots in an off-year election to-
morrow that is, expected to provide
test of New Deal sentiment
through which political forecasters
may obtain a clearer picture of
what is in store for President Roose-
welt in 1886.
Leaders of both major parties
have been most active in New York
and Kentucky which will hold the
most important state wide elections.
although considerable attention is
being centered on the Philadelphia
mayoralty fight in which the Demo-
Gratis are attempting to gain foot
hold after 40 years of Republican
rule.
New Dealers predicted that Lieut..
Gov. Chandler would win by a 3d.
900 majority over Judge King Swope
the Republican candidate, in Ken
lucky, despite opposition from for
mer Gov. Ruby Laffoon, vigorous
Roosevelt critic.
In New York, control of the as
sembly may hang on a few seats.
Although James A. Farley, chairman
of the Democratic National Com
mittee, insists the election will be
decided purely on state issues, the
result will be looked upon as indi-
eating the trend of opinion.
National issues have been injected
into the New Jersey Assembly hat
tie. Virginia will elect new Legis-
lature, but the campaign has been
without unusual features. In Mis-
sissippi, slate of Democratic can
didates for legislative and other
state offices is expected to win ap-
prevail with the usual lack of OPP
position.
Mayoral elections will be held in
three Connecticut cities, Hartford,
New Haven and Bridgeport. Indiana
holds town elections only.

LONG REACTION SPACE
NEEDED FOR STOPPING

Recent tests show that the best the
seasons star race track drivers could
do by way Of getting into action on
an emergency stop was to travel 25
feet before starting to apply the
brakes. Some of them require even
more reaction" space. Maybe you
are quick on the trigger, but the as
sumption Is that these fellows are past
masters at reacting to stimuli
II it takes all this precious space to
get started stopping imagine how little
chance the average driver has Of stop
ping within safe limits when he is
driving too fast for conditions, Is con-
fused as to just what to do and then
is further handicapped with deficient
brakes when he finally starts pushing
for dear life on the brake pedal And
the worst Of 1t is a sudden stop is too
often In itself danger.

were given in pleasure parks when
motion pictures first made their ap-

the car rides rough roads, exactly what
speed it attains on the level, how
quickly 1t can stop and how much
pickup 1t has for overtaking other

BY such methods it would be posi-.

the advantage Of enabling the industry
to obtain q quick reaction to its Of.
ferings.
Under the present system many
hundreds OF thousands of motorists
postpone selecting q new car until
they have had an opportunity to see
some belated offerings. Frequently
they are disappointed in the latecomer
when it arrives. In the meantime the
sponsors for the car these late buyers
eventually decide upon are made to
feel that the product is not going to
meet with favor. Too late, the spon-
sors for the latecomer discover that
the public does not care for their
products. This is disturbing to the
production schedule Of both COM
panies.
The great delay in getting the story
Of the new cars to the public every
where in America largely accounts for
the fact that many mechanical inno-
vations which are highly desirable do
not gain in popularity so quickly and
also explains why some worthless de.
velopments too often linger too long
in the automotive picture. Only q
small percentage of motorists have
ever had a ride in some of the more
radically designed streamlined cars; .
comparative handful have driven cars
with automatic gearshifts. There still
are some motorists who have never
driven a car with free wheeling. The
difficulty engineering departments face
as result of this slow consumption Of
new developments Is evident.
A quick national vote on questions
Of design and body styling would
change the entire automotive picture.
More cars would be taken to see that
all changes are unusually worthy. The
industry would not be misled into
thinking that when the rank and file
OF buyers come into the market there
would be a demand for a car not too
favorably received in New York, Chi
cago or Los Angeles.
The use Of miniature models might
be one way to give prospective buy
ers an opportunity to see what the new
lines look like. Another suggestion Is
the use Of life-size photographs of the
new models, slightly embossed by the
new three-dimensioned process to give
the illusion of reality. Some advo-
Gates Of new forms Of showmanship
believe that demonstrations could be

CAR PERSONALITY
ACHIEVED SLOWLY
"Character" of Automobile
Is Developed Through Hon.
est Engineering.
BY c. L. McCUEN,

President and General Msnaser oidsmobil.
Automobiles, like people, have
definite personalities.
There are people you like instantly
at first meeting. This liking strength
ems and deepens as you know them
better.
The same Is true of an automobile.
There are cars which you like irnme-
diately. And the attachment grows
upon you with long acquaintance.
This liking. as with a person. Is
the result of the personality of q car.
1t has taken years TO develop such
personality.
Personality really Is character.
In person character is developed
by the right sort Of training and en-
vironment. When a man is loyal. true
to his principles. honest in his deal
ings, unselflsh, reliable and trust.
worthy. he is said to have character
| and personality. These traits have
been developed over generations.
The character OF an automobile
likewise is developed over a long
period. 1t is developed by gradual
refinement rather than by radical
change. 1t is made up Of combina-
tion Of features which are honest
engineering advances. Important
among these traits of character is de-
pendability, which gives the owner
feeling of security when he starts
out on a long drive.
A car must be honest to have
character. 1t must live up to the
claims made for IT, 1t must be eco.
nomical 1t must perform up to or
above expectations, it must be trust
worthy. That is, it must respond to
the will Of its driver under any and
all driving emergencies.
A man with personality grows on
one. So, too, does an automobile
with personality. Every trip in such
a car is real pleasure. The owner
feels that he is with a friend. and
that this friend may be depended
upon.
He becomes attached to his car and
its personality because it never has
failed him-just as he becomes at
tached to a true friend.
