Family Auto Cause
OF Many Arguments
Rightful Use of the Car Is Matter That
Should Be Settled Fairly and Squarely
BY CYNTHIA GREY

The family car causes many (f not more) quarres
than the family radio The question about the who
has the most right to it,"
Some say "Father"-some say "Mother"-the children
all nut in their claim but many believe that if child is to
have the at ALL the Oldest youngser should have first
claim. And far many children concerned they
responsible for the old joke What pedestrian ?? with
the answer being "A man who and has bunch
of children"
There is getting away from the fact that the who
buys should have first claim to it. not only for business
reasons but for economical well.
Families general rule will not agree with this and
the who wrote the following letter will disagree
heartily:

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

THE boss must have a lot of
business on his mind today" Mary
remarked as she came into the
servants room the following morn
ing. His secretary's already up
there with him. / had to take up
an extra pot of coffee"
Jill's mind was on other things,
and she paid little attention to
Mary's chatter, although she did
find herself vaguely wondering
why Rothbury should be there be-
fore Mr.. Fenwick went TO the
office.
She might have been much more
concerned had she been able to
listen in on the conversation be-
tween the two men in Fenwick's
office, for she was the subject of
discussion.
Heavy Chair
Fenwick was leaning back in his
heavy swivel chair. putting at a
cigar, a worried look on his face.
Rothbury had just told him that
he had checked with the Apex
Agency and that they never had
heard of lillian Talbot.
Shes an imposter, all right"
the secretary said and looked a
little proud of himself for having
made this important discovery.
Anything else?" Fenwick de-
manded, at last.
Yes, sir. She was registered
under that name at the Park hotel
until the day she came here"
Registration Gard
ANY address on the registra-
ton card ?"
Just Chicago-no street ad-
dress. and Chicago's pretty big
place."
Get busy right away and get
hold of Chicago city directory.
See II you can find her name there,
Ii may give us a clue"
Already did that, Mr.. Fenwick.
Went to the public library. There
are scores of Talbots in the Chi
cago directory, all right, but no
lillian Talbot. She might have
registered from the wrong city,
you know
Yeah. Probably did, II she's
working for who think she is"
Reform League
you mean the Reform league
crowd, sir ?"
yes. How did you know
Have you heard anything around
town. Why didn't you tell me ?"
Fenwick's eyes snapped angrily at
the man.
Nothing but vague rumor,
sir" Rothbury said. hastily. Moth
ing I thought It worth while to
mention. You know, every once
in awhile someone starts some
sort of investigation, but 1t never
comes to anything"
I've had bunch there was
something going on" Fenwick
said. Really serious effort, this
time. but haven't been able to
put my finger on anything. This
is the first indication that they
really are trying to get something
on me-planting a girl right in my
own house TO spy on me-"
But. Mr.. Fenwick. there's no
chance for her to learn anything
here. The files are always locked
they have the finest combina-
tons that can be bought, and only
you and I know how to open
them"

Dear Miss Grey: have never

dealt with the use Of the family

trouble over our car than any
other thing.

although my older sons are Is and

They like to 90 out for q good

This makes me furious. It also

YANKWICH WILL
RETURN DEC. e

Retirement Of Judge Edward Z.
cushman has made the federal dis
trict court here an exceedingly duh
place and there seemed little like
lihood Tuesday that its activity
will increase until after the first
of the year, or later. depending, Of
course, upon appointment of new
judge.
The Is cases, which had been
scheduled for hearing here Mon
day, all were postponed indefinite
ly, but 1t is understood. according
to Assistant u. S. District Attor-
ney Oliver Malm, that some of
them may be handled Nov. ~ or
Dec. 1.
Motion Day Dec. 4
Naturalization hearings are
scheduled for the 27th before
Judge Lloyd L. Black, who also
might hear other matters that day
provided time allows. Dec. 4 is
regular motion day. It has not
been revealed which judge will be
here that date.
The federal district court clerks
office announced it had been in
formed that Judge Leon r. Yank-
witch of Los Angeles, would be
here Dec. % to hear all matters
pertaining to the recent Peoples
Gas & Oil Co. mail fraud trial.
To Set Retrial Date
Malm said Judge Yankwich
probably will set date for retrial
of H. Harry Meyers, P. G. & o.
official, who gained a jury dis
agreement in the initial trial here,
and also make final disposition in
the case of Isadore Toub, Los An
geles, former oil company sales
man, who pleaded nolo contendere
to the indictment charging mail
fraud. Before the court for con-
sideration also is a motion to quash
the first indictment against II
P. G. & o. officials and statesmen
eight of whom were on trial here
Two of the IL were not named in
the second, final, indictment, due
to the statute of limitations hav-
ing run, and Toub, of course, die
not face trial.
Judge Yankwich presided during
the closing days of the long mail
fraud trial, succeeding Judge
Cushman, whose illness had made

, more money tnan our TRENDS VINO
run a car to death, but we only
live once and ] can't see any sense
In such economy. Besides, 1t looks
like sheer selfishness to me. There
Is no reason why man should take
the car TO work with him each day
and let It stand idle while his wife
has to take a bus IL she wants to
90 down town and shop.
1t would like TO know what your
readers think about this. We have
had so many arguments about, the
matter want my husband to read
the opinions OF few others. He
thinks / am unreasonable because
I think I and my older son have
as much right to the car as he
does. IRATE WIFE.
Well, ! must admit I admire
an economical man who uses
q car carefully in order to save
some money more than the fell
low who let's his family go hog
wild" with an automobile and
then lodges his creditors the
first of each month.
We must admit that the ma
5ority of men have only occa-
sional use Of the cars they buy.
They may need them in their
business, they may need them
for convenience Of transporta-
ton, but they don't get them.
1t has become the habit of wives
to drive their husbands to a
train or bus or even to the
office and then drive the car
away to use 1t as they want
all day.
No one would argue that a
woman never has a right to do
this but on the other hand the
unreasonable and uneconomical
use Of the automobile is another
matter.
However. all these arguments
do not answer the question as
to RIGHTS.
The moral right to the car is
the parents. Father and mother
worked for 1t and bought 1t
usually father does the buy
ing) and because they have
worked for the comforts they
have given the family they are
entitled to first claim on the
family car. Because there are
many things in life that should
go to the older instead of the
younger generation, for that rea-
son the answer to who has
first claim to the family car"
should be Father, II his BUSH
ness demands II or economy
demands II. and second
Mother, because mother is en-
titled to the relaxation car
brings after a days work.
II boys or girls are licensed
drivers. II should be up to a
mother to settle young disputes
by lacking up a big calendar In
the kitchen and insisting on
marking down dates when the
young ones really need the car
or want It for some special occa-
sion. Because a child Is oldest
does not always mean he is the
best driver In the family, and
certainly 1t Is no reason why he
should shove his brothers and
sisters in the background.
No argument should exist
about the family car. Common
sense and the rights of parents
should dictate the use OF the
car.

The Lady Is Reckless
BY ROB EDEN

of course, but the reformers
don't know that. The thing that
annoys me Is slipping someone into
the house here to spy on me, to
spy on my family"
There's nothing else, is there,
sir? Something you haven't told
me about ?"
Not thing, Joe. There might
have been, once. but that's a closed
issue, now. The only man In the
world who had anything on me is
dead. He died several months ago.
That's why l dismissed the guards,
or hadn't you noticed? ?"
"Of course, sir. I wondered
about that, but I thought you
knew best. Do you think we
should hire them back again"
mot just now, anyway. The
dogs and old Dougald are enough.
You know there was an uproar
outside night before last. The dogs
kicked up a terrific row. Wouldn't
be surprised II someone hadn't
tried to get in then"
Rothbury lighted a cigaret and
waited for his employer to speak.
The silence continued, and his
cigaret had burned down to a stub
before Fenwick, who had turned
his back on his secretary and was
staring out the window, suddenly
whirled around.
I'VE won't say a thing about this
Talbot girl to anyone, joe he said,
emphatically.
But, but aren't you going to
fire her, now that you know that
she's a spy, an imposter?''
mo. Positively not. Don't you
see how much better 1t is to have
her right in the house here where
we can keep an eye on her? We
won't let on that we have discov-
cred her secret. Let her think
she's getting away with some
thing. She can do no damage, and
we at least know where she is.
Get it ?"
by Jove. sir, you're right"
Rothbury agreed, admiringly. II
never thought Of that. Whoever
sent her here win expect to get
some inside information, and there
won't be anything for the girl to
report
That's it. Whoever is back of
the reform movement, hasn't so
much money they can afford to
hire operatives promiscuously, you
can bet on that.
IF we can hamstring one of
their workers, who probably is get
ting a nice salary, that will cripple
them just that much. II might be
good idea, though, to have her
watched on her day off. See who
she meets.
Find Out
That way, maybe we can find
out who is at the bottom OF this
investigation. When I find that
out. l won't be So worried for I've
got enough on nearly everybody
in this town to hang them, II I
can head them off in time"
IN arrange for it, sir"
Fenwick turned TO other mat
tiers and was in the midst of die
tating some letters to Rothbury,
when a knock on the door inter-
rupted him.
Come in" he called. and Jill
entered.
Advantage
She had been thinking over her
situation since discovering that The
one thing she had come to the
house for was gone. and she could
see no further advantage in stay
ing with the Fenwicks.
Nothing more here for me-
she had told herself. "and every
minute I'm. here increases the
chance Of them discovering who
really am. Mr.. Fenwiok is the
kind who would really make a lot
of trouble for me, IL he knew"

Gos Price Grand Jury
Finds No Cause
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DANVILLE, Ill, Sept. "A Fed
eral grand jury which has been in
vestigating allegations of gasoline
prize fixing by major oil companies
In 10 Middle Western States was
discharged last night by Judge Wal
ter c. Lindley after it reported there
was mo cause for action"
The jury began its study on June
6, recessed June % without making
a report and resumed it's inquiry
yesterday.
Attorney General Frank Murphy
said last May the grand jury action,
the second in the Government S
antitrust campaign in the oil in
dustry, was necessitated by indica-
tions that practices on which the oil
trial at Madison, Wis, in 1886 were
based have not been wholly aban-
doned in the oil industry"
