ySE OF MOVIES FOR EDUCATION HOWS RAPIDLY ! Washington, Oct. 27 YU.R> —Visual inin schools uy means or moI In pictures has developed rapidly In I men l yarn, a report by the U. 8. Buri r f Education showed toduy. I nfteeii thousand educational Instllntjonß, Including everything from the university to the kindergarten, are !"w estimated to be equipped for moion picture projection. Many Slate Universities maintain film libraries and regularly supply of educational films to schools and community organizations in their states. Yale has co-operated in producing an American historical Him and Harvard i, aiding In making films relating to B clence. ' i„ a number of cities it is now the. practice to equip every new school j, o ,„e with projecting machines. Clevelan(l n ow has such apparatus in nearly eV eiv school. Use of thin form or instruction is said to be increasing rapidly notwithstanding objections that learning tluough pictures is too easy anil that i! results in mental Indolence. Despite ihe recc*nt progress, however. the bureau said many film companies oiganized to manufacture educational films have been forced to the wall because enough schools were not using their product regularly to enable them to make a profit. The number of text films which maybe used in connection with daily teaching is still far from adequate, the bureau reported, improved mechanical equipment and development of the portable machine has now virtually eliminaled any operation problem, according to the bureau. For the past two years the Kastman Kodak Company, Rochester, N. Y. has been conducting experiments in twelve cities from Newton, Mass., in the east to Rochester in the north and Atlanta hi the south, on practicability of motion pictures in education. Their report is expected to be published soon. MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Crist entertained for dinner Wednesday noon, the following; Mrs. William Diehl, of Elkhart Mr. and Mrs. Arzla D.

Paris says: IF YOU would be smart, wear this color. If you would be in fashion, bob your hair this way. If you would be well-dressed, wear clothes simply designed as I make them. PARTS today sets the correct fashion in women’s clothes, for a waiting world, because with French women dressing is a studied art. Their chic is supreme. THROUGH advertising, the genius of Paris is brought to the attention of thousands of American women. In Seattle, a charming lady wears the newest Paris hat. In Texas—a pretty girl chooses fashion’s newest necklace of sparkling crystal. An lowa newspaper advertises a copy of a Paris frock at a moderate price within ten weeks of its appearance in the French capital. IF you would be well-dressed—choose your clothes thriftily and successfully — wear them with style and charm, watch what the charming ladies in advertisements wear, and read what is written in the magic name of Paris.

The New All - American Six OAKLAND Is Here

Compioteiy new and original in appearance, with a host of advanced engineering features, the latest Oakland All-American Six went on display here today at the showrooms of Adams County Auto Co., local Oakland and Pontiac dealer. Smarter, roomier than a year ago, with laidies of distinctive design, and a chassis said to be the last word in mechanical refinement, the latest AllAmerican model bears only a passing resemblance to its famous predecessor —the first All-American Six brought out by the Oakland Motor Car Company a year ago. Briefly, the new line offers a bigger, faster, more powerful engine; new Oakland type internal expanding 4-wheel brakes; masterful body creations by Fisher; new Ouco color combinations; higher, larger cross-flow radiator with grill front; adjustable driver’s seat; chrome plated lamps of new design; sturdy ten-spoke wheels; Lovejoy shock absorbers and spring covers as standard equipment; new steering gear; sturdier frame, and a host of other improvements that are destined to make the cur a distinguished addition to the aristocratic motor car family of America. Many months have been spent in developing the car to a point where it offers everything that a discriminating public has learned to expect in the way of sty'e and performance. Every detail lias been subjected to exhaustive tests that the car might represent the crowning achievement of 22 years of successful automobile building by the Oakland Motor Car Company. Into the perfection of power plant and body lines have gone the poo'.ed resources of Oakland and General Motors engineers, General Motors Research Laboratories, General Motors Proving Ground, and craftsmen of the Fisher Body organization. Many months have been spent developing and proving every detailed change to bring the finished product up to the rigid standards called for on the specification charts. Already a million miles have been piled up by test cars on the General Motors Proving Ground. Although brand new to the public, it is u thoroughly seasoned product with the equivalent of many years of owner service already to its credit. Seven passenger types comprise the line: sport roadster, sport phaeton, coupe, 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan, and a new landaulet sedan and convertible cabriolet. Artisans of the Fisher organization with Oakland engineers have achieved a new grace of body lines and a symmetry and proportion exclusive in the Oakland field. The new landaulet sedan, with its fabric covered rear quarter section which may be quickly raised or lowered, has an air of custom-built distinction. The rear seats of all five passenger models are two inches wider this year to provide increased elbow room and to add to the comfort of passengers. This change has been effected without increasing the tread. Closed bodies all have adjustable driver’s seats, reveals around side windows set off by a narrow bead, single belt moulding starting at radiator and completely encircling the body, smart side cowl ventilators, new type military sun visors, and hardware designed exclusively for Oakland. Ain individual body types are walnut finished door panels, Axminster carpet in tonneau, embossed leather smoking sets, package space, luggage room in rear <!eck and many other popular features adding to tlie luxury of the interiors. A new instrument panel finished in black imparts a dignified touch to the front interior. Instruments are individually mounted on the dash and directly illuminated by two soft shielded lights. On the dash are an eighty mile speedometer, gasoline gauge, oil gauge and ammeter mounted on a raised panel on the center of the board. On either side are the ignition lock and lighting switch button, and the choke and throttle conrol buttons. The windshield wiper control and light switch buttons are below the speedometer. All Instrument dials are black with white figures. A strikingly new outside appearance Is provided by the head-on view of the car. The chrome plated radiator has been raised-duo that the line from the base of the cowl to the new flat radiator cap appears practically level. The shell is high and narrow with an unbroken outside curve line. A new grill, or radiator front louver effect, is of chevron design with a vertical chrome plated bar extending the full height of the front in the center of the grill. The Oakland emblem has been redesigned tills year in the form of a shield. Red, white and blue enameling bear out the All-American motif. The famous Oakland-pioneered cross flow radiator is retained with tile cooling capacity increased. Flanking the radiator are new full-crown fenders, larger and wider than a year ago, of aeamleen one-piece design with a beaded edge and a 71 Inch spread. Rear fender ends have been extended lower than the hub cap to assure increased protection and added beauty. The newly fashioned hood has a chrome plated top hinge and vertical louvres In five groups of four each on either side to achieve a swagger air.

Three Lives After Dance »

1 A sororitv dance ended shortly before 1 a. m. near Chicago and seven 1 young people, five boys and two girls, crowded into their motor car; one girl r was driven to her home, she beard a crash less than a block away; the car 1 had been struck by a fast passenger train, three of her friends had been killt ed, three Injured. The dead were: Bernice Pusko, IS; Joseph Pusko, 19, her brother, and Eugene Zalewski, 20. Here Is the wreckage of the car, which i was hurled into the air, fell back on the track and was struck a second time.

- Parking lamps are mounted on a chrome plated cowl liar. Small diameter word wheels are standard equipment on all models. Ten heavy spokes, eight-inch Canges ami large hub caps stamped wlih the new' Oakland shield offer a picture in line with the current mode. Tire size remains r.t 2!t by 5.50, oversize for Oakland weight. A powerful new engine, offering flashing performance at every speed range, has been achieved by stepping up the cylinder displacement to 228 cubic Inches a® against 212 in the earlier model. Tlds.Jn conjunction with other engine manges, results ir. a top speed of well over seventy miles an hour and quick acceleration of from ten to 25 miles an hour in high gear in six seconds flat. Increased displacement was brought about by enlarging the cylinder bore from :i>4 inches lo 2% inches. The improved engine develops 68 brake horse , power at 3.000 r.p.m. A new and exclusive Oakland feature is the four-point rubber engine mounting adopted on this model. By means of special- rubber "biscuits” which insulate the engine from the frame, there is no metal-to-meal contact, a feature which eliminates noise and engine vibration. ■ Other features contributing to better performance are permanent mould ■ type semi-steel pistons combining lightness with long wear; an improved oiling system to assure better lubrication of cylinder walls, piston and pins; larger oil pump which circulates 200 gallons of oil every sixty minutes at 25 miles an hour- larger carburetor and manifold; more rigidly supported transmission housing, and latest, improved AC air cleaner consisting of a chamber filled witli copper shavings dipped in oil. Increased braking power with a mimimum of pedal pressure is achieved by new Oakland designed brakes, of the mechanical four-wheel type, selfenergizing, witli internal expanding shoes on all four wheels. Individual adjustments are located at each wheel, and equalization has been entirely eliminated. The brakes operate on large twelve-inch drums and provide 290 square inches of braking surface. The parking brake on the transmission al--33 has been redesigned for increased safety. Spring squeaks have been largely eliminated by the inclusion of fitted spring covers as standard equipment on all models. By the retention of spring grease, and the protecton of springs from outside dirt and grit, the covers eliminate the necessity of oiling the leaves except at extremely long intervals. Greater steering ease is achieved by an improved type steering gear incorporating the worm and half-nut principle. The new 18-inch steering wheel is of ebony finish with flat spokes and a small wood rim with convenient finger grips. Horn button and the cap on the shift lever also are black to harmonize with the instrument board. The frame lias been strengthened for increased ruggedness and safety. A heavy corrugated rear plate completely covers and protects the oval gas link, which has been increased in size this year to fifteen gallons. Running boards are of all metal construction of new design, with distinctive rubber mats and aluminum moulding on all edges. Lovejoy shock absorbers are standard equipment. Among other refinements of the chassis are an improved universal joint; larger muffler; and new fendei tie rods, front license supports and spare tire carrier. Special sport equipment consisting of six wire wheels is available for all models. Spares are carried in front fender wells and are provided with tire locks and chrome-plated hub caps bearing the Oakland emblem in colors. The interior of all bodies is finished in pleasing harmony with the smart new exterior Ouco combinations. Heavy mohair upholstery material in plain co’ors is used for the interior of all closed types except the new convertible coupe, where timming is of leather. The form-fitting cushions and backs are Jeep and luxurious. The driver’s seat on all closed bodies is quickly adjustable, forward or backward, by an easily operated control located at the side of the seat. A foot control conveniently opens or closes the smart side cowl ventilators. Al! bodies are slightly wider also across the dash to make for increased comfort of passengers in the front compartment. The semi-coincidental transmission lock is retained this year, as is the theft-proof door lock which will not yield to the application of a wrench to the door handle. Production on the new line is going forward as fast as precision manufacturing methods will permit. Cars are being shipped to dealers with the utmost dispatch so that they may have on hand models or prompt delivery. The striking new beauty of this latest All-American, and the better stamina and performance built into the sturdier engine and improved chassis, lent substance to the confidence of Oakland officials that tile car will prove the most successful Oakland brought out since the organization of the company more than twenty-two years ago.—advt.

LONDON ERECTS HIGH BUILDINGS TO SAVE LAND London, Oct. 27—<UH> — London probably never will have a skyline that rivals New York's but the metropolis Is gradually glowing taller. Already it is half as high again as It was before the war. It may go even higher. One of the main causes of this Is the tremendous increase In site values. All over London the builders are at work, erecting in most cases new tall buildings of concrete and steel. It Is estimated that since the war $1,000,000,000 has been spent In reconstructing Louden, and Is now being spent on construction. "It 1h often too expensive to expand hoi iznntally, and London, at least the business part of It. is becoming a city of steel and concrete buildings of seven cr eight floors." said a director of Bovis. Ltd., the contractors. “I can see buildings In future going up to the height limits of Hip building laws, and It may even be necessary later on to consider raising those limits. “There are, of course, objections to that. Our streets are generally too narrow even toy semi;skyscrapers, and our daylight is not so Intense as It might be. New pfemlses now go up to the maximum of about 100 feet, permitted by the London building laws, whereas 60 or 60 feet used to he the limit. The London Building Act is nearly 40 years old. Some idea of Hie rise In site values can he gained from the fact that 100 years ago the Crown drew $135,000 a year in ground rents in Regent street in the west-end of London. In 1020 the figure was $060,000. Since then the Income from ground rents has grown to more than $2,000,000. o NOTICE I shall tie out of the city from Monday morning, October 29, until Sunday evening, November 4. Dr. W. E. Smith. 253-ltx
