LUNCHEON FOR DEALERS GIVEN BY MARMON Seventy-Five Indiana and Illinois Distributers Are Guests. More than seventy-five Indiana and Illinois Marmon dealers were guest# of the Indianapolis sales branch of the Marmon Motor Car Company yesterday afternoon at a luncheon at the Indianapolis Athletic Club. Jack Hendricks Jr., general manager of the local branch, presided as toastmaster and introduced factory and branch officials to the visitors. The principal speaker was G. M. Williams, president of th° Marmon company, who summarized achievements of the company in the last three years and outlined plans for the coming months, during which production and sales of Marmon straight-eights will be increased to the highest point in the company’s history. Close Contact Stressed The tremendous increase in Marmon sales during 1928 and the rise of the company to a position as one of the largest manufacturers of straight-eight automobiles in the world was attributed by Williams to the close contact between factory and sales representatives. Second speaker was Thomas E. Jarrard, general sales director of the Marmon company, who told dealers of the success which Marmon has met at automobile shows throughout the country this year. J. M. Peterson, manager of the factory dealers' financial department, explained Marmon finance plans, stating that the increased use of the time method of purchasing has necessitated numerous developments in this field, including lower costs to the buyer for this service. Plans Are Explained Plans for use of Marmon dealers to assist owners in lowering operating and maintenance costs were explained by R. L. Albaugh of the factory service department. At the close of the meeting the dealers were taken on a tour of inspection of the Marmon factory and later visited the local automobile show. A number of the visitors will remain in Indianapolis for several days to confer with branch and factory officials, it was said yesterday ASK $57,500 FOR HAND Surgeon Files Suits for Damages in Elevator Accident.

Auto Show Side Swipes.

BY SWEDE SWANSON There are several ways to acquire i a high polish, but one of the leading I ways is to be a show car. All day 1 long the man with the clean cloth is ! busy. The most exclusive exhibit in the show belongs to John Morgan. John has Harley Davidson motorcycles and that’s all there is. There isn’t any more. There are no special days at this show. Every day is for everybody and order blanks all look alike. This is in keeping with the motto of the Indianapolis Automobile Trade As-sociation-all cars are good cars today. All the raccoon coat boys have plenty to look at in this show. There are twenty-three roadsters, six touring cars and two speedsters. Not to speak of eighteen trucks, in case you are interested. And will Mr. John Wolf of the Stutz Company kindly refrain from swiping flowers for his buttonhole? Take care of this, w’ill you, Mr. Spindler, they’re your flowers. It might be mentioned that the show really is beautiful. One dealer who has been to all the leading shows for several season remarked the other day that Indianapolis had the finest retail automobile show in the country. He considered every element of display. There are 229 automobiles in the show. In addition to these passenger jobs, there are eighteen trucks and eleven chasses. If you see any more than this number, change bootleggers. If w r cmen would care to roam about the place and avoid the congestion of the night crowds, they should slip over for an hour pr so in the afternoon. There is no change in the program. The performance is continuous from 10 to 10. General and Mrs. Gignilliat of Culver Military academy were among the Tuesday afternoon visitors. Stutz has the largest display of passenger cars in the show, sixteen in all. Also one chassis. Bob Armacost with his Studebakers and Carl Wallerich with his Chryslers are second in number of cars displayed, with each. Ford and Losey-Nash are third with fourteen. The one-half Ford is one of the main stopping p aces of the customers on parade. Those cars in their BVD’s are called chasses. That one Robin-son-Thompson have on display cost $13,000. It is an Oakland. These things are just like the handkerchiefs men carry in their upper left sack coat pocket. Just show jobs. Several demonstrations of nonshattering glass are being given during the show. Say when? Sammy Watkins’ orchestra plays from 2 to 4 in the afternoon and from 8 to 10 at night. And Sammy is worth hearing. He’s an assembled job from Cincinnati. Bring the children and by the time you make the rounds they will have their money back in souvenirs. The show established new at-

tendance records Monday and Tuesday. With a decent break in weather, this year’s exhibit should go well over the 1928 show. The cars in the show building are for sale, but they must not be removed until the show closes Saturday night. As the week goes on, however, you will see signs on cars reading, This Car Has Been Sold to Mr. and Mrs. So and So. And believe it or not, it HAS. That’s one of the rules of the show.

OAKLAND HOST TO FIELDi FORCE Hundred Taken on Factory Tour In Pontiac. Large scale manufacturing operations witnessed by a visitor to a great automobile plant were described here today by Andrew Taylor, field representative of the Oakland Motor Car Company, following a convention of two weeks at the Oakland factories at Pontiac, Mich. Mr. Taylor was one of a hundred in attendance at the convention, which included fifty new men being added to the field force in preparation for the greatest year since the Oakland company began turning out automobiles more than twenty-two years ago. Every one of the twenty-five district offices in the United States had one or more representatives at the convention, the object being to give every man a close insight into factory methods and operations, so that he might work more intelligently in the field toward improved public service. Executive heads of every major department of the home office addressed the field men on the functions and workings of their offices, W'hile A. R. Glancy, president and general manager, also talked to them on the unusually bright 1929 prospects for the Oakland and Pontiac lines, in view of the enthusiastic public reception accorded the new models.

CHICAGO FAILS TO CAST AWAY ■BIG BILL' RULE Alderman Elections Do Little but Joggle Throne of Mayor. BY EARL J. JOHNSON United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 27.—The Chicago aldermanic elections, billed by reformers as the stroke that would w’ipe Mayor Big Bill Thompson off the political map, appear to have done little more than joggle his throne. Out of the peaceful balloting on candidates for fifty seats in the Chicago city council today came numerous victories and surprises for both sides. But “Big Bill the Builder” was far from wiped out. With as high a percentage of success in the run-off election on April 7 as he enjoyed in Tuesday’s voting Mayor Thompson will retain enough sympathetic aldermen to control the council to the end of his term in 1931. Six members of the present council, four of them Thompsonites, were defeated and in nine wards the final result awaits the run-off. To win in Tuesday’s balloting a candidate had to poll a majority of all the votes cast in his ward. Thompson’s two most smashing victories were in the “bloody Twentieth” ward, and in his own bailiwick, the Forty-sixth. ' The former ward, bossed by Morris Eller, the city collector whose Negro opponent for ward committeeman was in the April primary, voted overwhelmingly for Eller’s candidate, William V. Pacelli. In the mayor’s home ward, Aiderman Oscar F. Nelson, Thompson’s floor leader in the council, won by

ALMA RUBENS MUST SERVE IN DOPEHOSPITAL Husband and Mother Sign Warrant: Used Morphine Four Years. By United Press HOLLYWOOD. Cal., Feb. 27.

What many people call indigestion very often means excess acid in the stomach. The stomach nerves have been over-stimulated, and food sours. The corrective is an alkali, which neutralizes acids instantly. And the best alkali known to medical science is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50 years since its invention. One spoonful of this harmless, tasteless alkali in water will neutralize instantly many times as much acid, and the symptoms disappear at

hospital at Spadra for not less than eight months or more than two years. The warrant for her detention was issued at the request of her husband and mother, who believe that she will be far better off in the hospital. They have been fighting to save her from the drug habit and took this drastic step as the final hope. Mrs. Therfa Rubens, mother, and Ricardo Cortez, screen actor and husband of Miss Rubens, signed the complaint at a hastily called session. The affidavit stated that Miss Rubens had been using morphine for four years and that she had been totally under its influence for the past seven months. Her life, health and property are endangered so long as she remains an addict, the complanit said.
