provement of the automobile that will materially increase sales. Some definite uniform policy of handling used rars, should be decided upon by the dealers. Probably no important changes will be made in methods of distribution. The industry is rapidly apI proaching. llut has not yet reached, the saturation point. Production and sales probably ' will be stabilized around 5,500.090 I automobiles annually. o TRUSTEE FACES FRAUD CHARGES — (CONTINUED hHUai PAGE ONE) i rants went to Harris, the report set forth. A large percentage of the alleged fraud occurred in connection with construction of a school drainage ditch. He was charged with paying $1,424.18 for the repairs, all of which constituted misappropriations of township funds. Other irregularities charged were false payments to Elvin Wilson and Harvey Rood, employes in the Harris tinshop. The largest item mentioned in I the alleged fraud was in connection with sale of bonds to finance ; construction of the new Sheridan’ school building. Due to an error in I the transcript charged to Harris, a $3,040 bid for the bonds was with-: drawn and they were sold for sl,135. The difference, $1 905, was ; blamed upon Harris.

'[TRUCK DRIVER •I SAFE OPERATOR I Harrisburg Pa.. Dec. (UJ») , ■ Maybe you've cussed out many a i truck driver as a “so-and-so reck- , 1 less fool" when he has barged past ( !you on the road, but they're safer .drivers than most private automobile drivers. That's what the bureau of motor I vehicles of the State Department ' of Revenue says. The bureau cites figures to back up its statement. One out of every 31 passenger j automobiles in the state was in i some sort of non-fatal accident during the first nine months of i this year. Only one truck out of I every 47 became involved in a j crack-up that resulted in no I deaths. As for fatal accidents, one in every 1.133 passenger automobiles caused a death. Only one in every 1.350 commercial vehicles killed someone. “The commercial driver makes it ibis business to avoid accidents." Benjamin G. Eynon, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, explained. "Accidents may mean he will lose ■ his job. They mean damage suits hind vehicles laid up for repairs, land that means loss of time. The employer insists on safe driving." 0 NOTES OF TRIAL I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I Curtis L. Brown, John Voglewede, i E. Frank Gass. The program follows: Processional. Mrs. L. A.

N-* ’7 —(UP) — Oklahoma will meet the mounting | problem of correct handling of prisoners by erecting a new $400,000 sub-penitentiary to supplement the present overcrowded one. Although the present prison is but 25 years old, like penitentiaries I in many other states, it has become inadequate. The buildings I 1 were erected shortly after the terI ritory became a state and have not I sufficient room from the present 3,200 prisoners. The new prison is designed to mest both these problems. It will accommodate approximately 1,0001 prisoners. The state has purchased I an 8,000 acre tract of land suit- , able for intensified and diversified I I farming. The prison will be located I I on the tract. Some 800 acres of the i land already is under cultivation. I The new prison will aid in the ! segregation of prisoners, by per- : mittin? hardened criminals to be | separated from casual offenders. I The old prison will be used tor | habitual prisoners and the new one I for first and casual offenders. It is planned to devise a system j I of "graduation” whereby a prisoner I I may be transferred from the old . prison to the new. Overcrowding is not caused by I an increase in crime rate, prison said. It is due to the increase in population in the state. The prison was erected hurriedly after Oklahoma b-came a state. Prior to that time Oklahoma Territory sent its prisoners to Lansing. Kans., where the state of Kansas under contract provided for them. — o Steam al Extreme Heat Superheated steam Is sienm nt a temperature higher than the condensing point corresponding to Its actual volume and density, so that ft will expand and dn work without being condensed —o Quite a Difference When a woman has worn her clothes as iong ns she considers possible they’re still In good enough ■ condition "o send to n rummage side , hut when e man has tn ditch (its. : only a ragman will rake them.— flnclnnimfl Enquirer I Get the Haclt—Trade at Homs- ..

This was designed to prei vent a vote on one of the most popular anti-prohibition proposals—resubmission of the ISth amendment to the states. It was defeated when some wily wets, learning that the democrats had come out for rules revision. I PRICES REST i of This Week $5.00 | i Cash, delivered.

(warned the republicans that unless they adopted the “145 rule" the opI position would steal their thunder. I It worked. The amendment was loss and the liberal rule endorsed. Though Rep. Crisp, Ga., the democratic authority on rules liberalization. is proposing that any meas-| ure should be voted upon if 1001 members petition it, democrats veryi likelv will fix the number close to 145. Crisp is a dry and is opposed to a vote on prohibition. The rules issue with him is not a question of prohibition, but of /aking the house a really democratic body, representative of the people. It was quite a gain for Crisp and I those who stand with him on rules liberalization when Rep. John N. |] Garner. Texas, who will be boss of the house as speaker, agreed that some changes are necessary. Garner did not commit himself, definitely, on specific proposals, but said there should be a "real liberalization." 0 _ Toad Farmer’s Friend The connion toad is worth Its weight in gold for killing pests on the farm.
