WOMEN'S AUTO IDEAS CHANGE Kansas City, Mo., —(UP)— Women have changed their ideas on automobiles since they learned to drive, and beauty is no longer the first essential for a ear, It the automobile men at the motor show here size up women drivers right. Women drivers still want good looking cars, and they are somewhat particular about the gadget, but the dealers ad salesmen are practically unanimous in laying that “miles per gallon." ease of operation and brakes are the first things a prospective woman customer inquires about. The innocent girl, who looks at the brakes and asks, “What's that? and the wife, who won't have a car of a certain color because it doesn't match the house, were almost totally missing this year. The looks of the automobile are still among the first requirements to women of wealth, who don’t drive occasionally, even the wealthy ones want cars that they, as well as thei rchauffers, can handle. Good brake* are generally the first thing a woman asks about, according to many automobile men. Most women, when they get in a tight place, want to stop quickly. And before the ear finally is bought, the question of economical operation is almost sure to be blight up. Miles per gallon is a highly important item. — ———— Griffith Is Sentenced Robinson. 111., March 9 —(UP) — Grover Griffith. 50. of South Bend.

NEW DANGERS ARE FORSEEN IN WAR AREA FROM PAGE QNE) tary leaders united in a policy et continued resistance to the Japanese In the area after the central exjcecutive committee of the national government announced appointment of Gen Cilia ng KaiShek to command the Chinese armies. Mayor Wu Teh-Chen of Shanghai notified Japanese authorities that Chinese authorities proposed to police the Chapel. Kiangwan. and Woosung areas, scenes of the heaviest fighting near Shanghai. “it is urgently necessary that various municipal services be resumed." Mayor Wu said in a note to the Japanese. "In view of the faet that Japanese troefps are still stationed in the several districts concerned, and in order to prevent misunderstandings. I request that your military authorities be duly informed.’’ The Japanese reaction to th-, note was uncertain, tot the Jap-i. anese military still maintained strictest control of the districts. The ninth Japanese division ' under Lieut. General Kenkichi | Uyeda returned to Shanghai , from occupying deserted Chinese positions near Kiangwan and Tazang and the soldiers were received like conquering heroes. Japanese residents of the Yangtzepoo and Hongkew districts lin-' ed the streets to cheer. It was learned that tlie 14th' division which just arrived from Japan, brouglit artillery pieces much larger than any used here. It was undeistood that the strength of the 14th equalled (hat of the| !>tli and lltß divisions together. The Japanese eon suite-general announced that 20 Japanese civilians were killed and 52 wounded ' by stray bullets and assaults by Chinese mobs since hostilities began. Japanese laborers completed burial of (lie dead from battle- '

fields around Shanghai. Buddhist rites were conducted for the Japanese dead. Arrangements were made to take the bodies back to Japan Chinese dead were thrown Into trenches. The bodies were partly covered with earth. No efforts were made at identification or to mark burial places.
