Visit the Auto Show

If you haven't been out to the automobile show yet
you have been passing up opportunity to keep pace
with the latest developments in motoring.
Of course you still have chance to visit the show
before it closes and if you wise you'll go out to the
Calvert Exhibition Hail. 27O1 Calvert St. N. W., before
the display of models ends Saturday night.
THE SUCCESS WHICH HAS MARKED THE SHOW
so FAR THIS WEEK IS A TRIBUTE TO ECONOMIC
CONDITIONS IN WASHINGTON AND TO THE
ALERTNEss AND WISDOM OF WASHINGToNIANs.
Residents of this community want to take advantage
of the opportunities for comfort safety speed and style
which the model cars afford
And they are doing it.

Automobile manufacturers deserve the encouragement

Street show.
Throughout the depression this industry has carried
on in the soundest American fashion.
It has displayed dogged confidence in the funda-

its products and has reduced the sales price.
The industry has treated its employees well and is

That sort of activity brings its reward the

And thou must die.

styri drahokamy. Nerozlucil

Neraz> posledny plaster hodil
som ma stol pri hre V karty,
ale nikdy ma nenapadlo, a
by som hodil toto zlato, lebo
som no povazoval "a anu
let. Mnoho by som I'll musel
rozpravat', drahe diet'a, ke-
by som I'll chcel opisat' vse-
tky prihody, ktore som Ia
I'll, kym som prisiel k mie-
stu, kde som nasiel tieto
drahokamy. A konecne tie
to povedacky neposobily by
dobre ma Tvoju mlad1 du-
su. Preto to vynecham a
radsej opisem, kde som to-
to zlato nasiel, lebo vedo-

zbadal som, re je zlatonos-

kolkokrat sohnut', aby som
vyhrabal z piesku hliny
tieto styri drahokamy, ktore
tn pripojujem. Zaradova]
som sa, ze som uz bohacom.

sa i moja srdecna vada.
Zapasil som osudom
hl'adajdc kapitalistov, kto

nepodarilo - a ked' som Sc
