RETAIL SALES LARGER
ON CADILLAC-LA SALE
Greatest October Record Since 1929
Statistics Reveal.

Cadillac-La Sale retail sales were
larger during October than in any
October since 1929, it was reported
by j. c. Chick, general sales man.
ager for the Cadillac Motor Car Co.
Factory production, shipments to
dealers and retail sales all estab-
lished October records that have
not been matched since 1929" said
Mr.. Chick. Retail sales in Octo-
Der were $50 per cent ahead of Oc-
tober, 1884.
UNTITLED orders from dealers now
are at a level which has necessi-
tated an increase in the Cadillac
La Sale production schedule for
November, and which will keep the
factory operating at capacity well
on into next year."

head of the E. L. Shaver Co., La
fayette-Nash distributors for this

cite in stronger position in this
field. A new convertible coupe has
been added to the six models previ-
ously available, besides three
passenger business coupe with rear
quarter windows and a five-paSsen-
ger rumble seat coupe with rear
quarter windows.
Prices range from $685. for the
business coupe to $700 for the six
passenger, four-door sedan with
trunk, f. o. b. factory.
Bigness is one impression of the
car. The unbroken sweep of its
streamlined body and hood imparts
a feeling of size.
Motor Moved Forward
Redistribution of weight, another
innovation, is a contributing factor
to increased riding comfort. In
moving the motor forward approx
mately six inches, Nash engineers
have been able to place the pas
senger compartment more nearly in
the center of the car.
Both front and rear seat pas
sengers now ride between the aXles
in the zone Of greatest comfort.
In the interest of safety Lafay-
cite introduces the first all-steel
body with a seamless steel top in
the industry. Floor, pillars, side
panels and top are all steel, welded
together in one piece.

birch in the South position, shows
that safety is a very valuable fea-
ture Of their game. A number Of
South players reached five clubs on
this hand. 1t offers a very tempt
ing chance to make an oyertrick,
which would. be Of considerable i'm
portance at match point play.
INVEST opened the ace Of dia-
w monds and then shifted to the
10 Of spades, which was won by the
declarer with the ace. Most de-
clarers attempted to make six odd
by the following plan:
A diamond was led at trick three
and ruffed in dummy. The South
hand was put into the lead with a
heart and the last diamond was
led and ruffed. However, at this
point West put in the nine Of clubs
and declarer was forced to ruff with
the ace.
Declarer now took two rounds Of
clubs, leaving the high club with
East. Before declarer could dis
card his losing spade on the fourth
heart in dummy. East got into the
lead with the club and cashed the
spade trick.
On this plan declarer lost a dia-
mond. a club and a spade, being
defeated one trick.
Mrs. Ulbirch realized her first task
was to make the contract. Only one
diamond ruff was necessary to in
sure five odd. and she wisely gave
up the tempting over-trick.
After winning with the ace Of
spades, she ruffed one diamond in
dummy and Immediately drew
trump. She then cashed four heart
tricks and conceded the last trick
to the opponents.

fraud in two seconds" She said
to John. to divert him, How far
is it to this Cleveland town."
Don't be uppity," John answered,
Just because you're from New York.
Cleveland's got a million persons
in it, most Of EN- good looking. It's
got some good places to eat, too.
Well find one"
The restaurant that he chose
looked like a provincial French VIII
lage. There was an ice-flled we'll
in the middle Of the rock floor from
which pretty mattresses in peasant
dresses fetched butter.
There was a three-piece orchestra
"a piano and two violinS-Which
played remarkably good music. Vic
tor Herbert. Romberg. Jerome Kern.
Friml, and even Strauss. The table
linen was gay and coarse. The food
delicious. John ordered a bottle of
the right wine, and Ruth, not being
used to it, became very gay and
nimble Of tongue.
John said teasingly, I'D have
- thought Elaine Chalmers was a
cocktail girl. Imagine you getting
higher than kite on two little
glasses of wine!"
Maybe I'm just pretending it's
wine" Ruth replied. Maybe its be-
ing with you that makes me this
way"
He leaned across the table and
looked at her very hard If you
say things like that" he said,
you've got to mean them. I won't
be strung"
Ruth thought, IF I were Elaine
I could tell him that I do mean
them. If I were even myself, Ruth
WOodson, I could tell him. But I'm
just a phantom. I'm the body and
brain Of one girl, Shamelessly wear
ing another girls name" She would
not answer the look in his eyes.
After they had agreed upon a
place to meet, he left her. Ruth
saw his tall, erect frame disappear
in the crowd and she had a swift,
sharp taste of how it would be with
her when she had seen him for the
last time.
She had the afternoon to kill, so
she did" the stores thoroughly.
She chose the motion picture she
would have liked to see and studied
the advertisements in the outer
lobby, so she could pretend to have
seen it. That done, she went to
purchase a gift for Bertha Gibbs.
She Shopped diligently through
the five and ten. When you have
just two nickels and one copper
cent in the whole world, you do
not spend them without thought.
You consider a hundred things
they might buy. In the end, Ruth
chose a string of glass beads, know
ing that Penny would think them
a crystal necklace from a depart
ment store. Thus the girl she was
impersonating would not be made
to appear small and stingy.
It was a queer feeling, paying
out the dime and the one-cent tax,
because it left her purse quite
empty. =. The bus driver had
said to her, Gimme you dollar.
Keep the Ieven cents!" 1t was his
way Of telling her a girl should
never be without the price of
phone call or a street car ticket.
But now the deed was done.
Ruth was utterly pennileSS.
