BERLIN, Aug. "a. Even
though Germany is at war, the
show must go On-and strangely
enough the show is an American
Indian play.
In a natural amphitheater,
seating 1900 persons, mske-be-
lieve Indian braves shoot point

Before Old Switzerland and
Sam Hawkins and other charac-
tiers spreads a great outdoor set
ting, an "eratz" for Americas
great southwest.
Scenes are from the works OF
Karl May. Feuds between Co
manches and Apaches and the
white mans greed for gold and
fur form the sociological back
ground.
Winnetou'S Silver Rifle. and
Old Shatterhand's Bear Killer,
protect the good and punish the
evil Love. comedy and tragedy
are injected, and Sam Hawkins
finally deals out WiId-west JUS
tice to Santer. the renegade white.
Some excerpts from Hawkins
gags may give an indication of
what tickles the wartime funny
bone.
When Trapper Sam is tied to
the stake, about to be provided
with funeral pyre, he observes:
And it is such a nice day-to be
burned in public.
1t almost rolls 'em into the
aisles when Sam adds that being
burned to death results in such
bodily injury that one seldom
survives it.
A dramatic critic might be in
clined to find fault with such in
consistencies as a windmill in the
background, and army rifles max
ing up the shortage of muskets.
But the audience apparently is
conSOled by the thought that the
plays the thing. although some
of the Indians ride like German
cavalfymen and. after smoking
the pipe of peace, shake hands

If there were news of an auto mobile that would run without having any engine, it could not provoke much greater interest than the announcement, made a few days ago, that 194l models of Dodge cars will be available with the Fluid Drive" says Bob Cowling manager of Bowling -Davlin Com rlny. Dodge dealers of this city
 Ever since the release of that Information we have had veri- table deluge of inquiries regarding what the Fluid Drive is like, how it operates why it is an improve menu over the conventional drive and of course. how soon new Dodge models will be here for local inspection and trial.
 Fluid Drive is one of the things that are difficult to describe in words; one must experience it by seeing and feeling the marvellous improvement it makes in the way the car handles and acts.
 "Bs sically, the Fluid Drive is a drive through oil. with no fixed mechanical connection between the engine and the rear wheels. The Cil does it better than it could be done through any fixed coupling. Some of the things that can be done with the Fluid Drive are al- nest uncanny. For one thing, it makes driving unbelievably simple It enables you to drive all day under average conditions without touching the gearshift or tn C clutch pedal.
