SALESMEN FOR MARMON HERE IN CONVENTION Guests of Company Friday and Saturday at French Lick. - Marmon salesmen from all parts of the country arrived in Indianapolis Wednesday night to attend the three-day convention of the "Face Makers’ Club, an organization of salesmen of outstanding ability.

A parade through the downtown district to the Marmon factory followed, after which the salesmen were taken on a tour of the plant, and the plant of the Murray Body Corporation. At noon a luncheon was served at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. In the afternoon the visitors were taken to the Speedway and given the opportunity to driye new series Marmon 68 and 78 automobiles.

Friday’s program includes a business meeting in the morning, swimming and golf in the afternoon and a banquet at night. A special program of entertainment has been arranged for the banquet.

GIRL HIKER WORKS AS DETECTIVE TO LIVE Gets Food and Lodging From Police for Special Service. Bu United Press PUEBLO, Colo., Aug. 23.—Bea Johnston. 22, has been hiking from Kansas City, making money in the meantime by service as a special agent for police officers who were kind enough to give her a place to sleep in the jails. An orphan practically all her life, Miss Johnston started from her home to California to “get away from it all.” Using the jails as her hotel, she often has gone into underworld haunts as her natural self in search of information needed badly by officers. In return for her espionage she has been given money enough to live on during her journey so far.
