AUTOS ALONE CHEAPER INI 5-YEAR SCHEDULE Dollar Buys More Value in Cars Today Than Ever Before. A comparison of fifteen years ago | with today finds that the purchasi ing power of the dollar has shrunk as applying to practically every | business excepting only the automotive industry, according to T. A. Bell, local Dodge Brothers dealer. "The dollar invested in an automobile today represents more actual value than at any time in history,” I said Bell. "Never have performance i and appearance of motor cars been at a higher standard, and never has it been possible to buy such comfortable and dependable personal transportation at such low cost. "Contrast this situation with other commodities such as food, clothing and household goods. Here the price scale is greatly advanced over that of fifteen years ago.” GIRL AUTHOR EXPELLED Mother Charges Book Caused Action of School Authorities. _ Bu United Prex NEW YORK.

PETRIFIED TREES FOUND Montana Discovery Indicates Storm Blew Timber Down. By Science Service WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—A new petrified' forest, the only one so far discovered with the trees lying as they fell millions of years ago, is reported by the Unted States bureau of reclamation. It was found by a road-building expedition on the lower Yellowstone reclamation project, about three miles southwest of Savage, Mont. Tlie petrified forest covers several acres. Some of the trees are ten feet in diameter and more than one hundred feet long. They all lie with their tops pointing in the same direction. indicating they may have been blown down by a storm. The shape of the trunks suggest they belonged to the same forests that supplied the materials for the nearby beds of coal. SCOUTS WILL CELEBRAT Troop No. 69 to Hold Fall Event at Utley Hut Thursday.

; THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TIRE PRICES TO BE RAISED BY DEALERS HERE Upward Revision of Sales Figures Announced by All Firms. i A 5 to 22 per cent boost in tire prices looomed today in Indianapolis with the announcement, by rubber dealers that the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company's “less than 5 per cent” boost will be conformed with generally. First indications of the raise came Tuesday from the Akron offices of the Goodyear company and was followed immediately by price revisions by the B. F. Goodrich Company and the General Tire and Rubber Company is was reported. Local dealers report a general revision of price lists. Officials of the United States Tire Company of Indianapolis indicated today prices would be raised slightly with the general advance. Firestone Tire and Rubber Company branches here had received no notice of an increase, although price lists were “undergoing a revision.” Advices from Akron stated that Mohawk Tire and Rubber Company officials declared their revised list would be sent out to distributors, as did the Seiberling company. General tire distributors in Indianapolis said price lists were being altered, although no official word for a genera! increase had been received. The adjustment probably will advance the price on small tires 10 per cent and the pice of truck and bussize tires as much as 22 percent, dispatches indicated.

DRIVE FOR 464- HOURS Man and Wife Set Unusual Record at Salt Lake City. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 16. —A striking demonstration of endurance, human and mechanical, was given by two drivers, one of them a young woman, and a fourspeed Graham-Paige, when Mi’, and Mrs. Earl Williams, without ever leaving the car, completed a nonstop run of 464 hours and 7 minutes. In the nineteen days and nights of continuous driving, they completed 18,232 laps around the half-mile dirt track at the Utah state fairgrounds. Asa test of stamina between man and machine, the result was a draw, for both the car and the drivers apparently were good for many more hours when the end came, suddenly and prosaically, one midnight, with a nail through the right rear tire of the Graham-Paige 621 sedan. The actual number of languages throughout the world recently was set by the French academy at 2,796,

NEW AUTHOR HITS WISE WITTY NOTE Daisy Fellowes Makes Her Novel Debut With a Strange Teaser, “Cats In the Isle of Man.” BY WALTER D. HICKMAN. FOR once in my life I have found an author who admits that her first novel is “entertainment.” For years I have been looking upon both plays and books as “good or bad theater” or in other words good or bad entertainment. Now comes Daisy Fellowes and also a daughter of the fourth Due Decazes and whose mother was the Duchess Decazes, daughter of Isaac Singer of sewing machine fame, and writes her first book. She calls her first novel by the strange title of “Cats in the Isle of Man.” She admits that it is for entertainment purposes. It is explained that this story concerns “women in the world of men,

the hero is human nature and the villain, folly.” The author also slings this tantalizing morsel in your face when she writes: “Any person or persons who attempts to recognize their own sordid idiosyncrasies in any character or characters in this book are warned that anything they say will be used in evidence against them.” The chief character in this rather smartly constructed vinegar handling of mental petting on the continent among those who have castles and thdse who want to move in, is Claudia, who started out as an ugly duckling. Her rather lofty parents oxthought they were and so did not have much time to share with Claudia and her brother, John. The author gives this picture of Claudia’s father: “To John and Claudia he was represented as a terribly just and severe judge, who would stand no disobedience, listen to no excuses and brook no delay. How surprised his friends would have been, who knew that he would stand almost anything from them. They could live on his bounty from year to year, trade on his good name and credit, take advantage of his unfortunate choice in lady friends—he minded nothing as long as they stood by him. He dreaded being alone and would do anything to keep his friends about him. from the time he awoke in the morning to his last minute of consciousness at night.” So you see that Claudia’s father did not have much time for his children as the period of unconsciousness might come any time. You will howl when you read about Claudia’s grandmothers. The

author tells you: “Her father's mother was a fat old Polish lady who smoked cigars. She was goodnatured and easy-going and laughed quite close to one’s face, her chest heaving over her stays.” And I might add that this grandmother went in for more punishment when rather old, she married “a Russian who had only one leg” and “that a Cossack always slept on the floor before the Russian’s door. And it is recorded that the Russian “drank champagne for his lunch and never had a bath.” So you see that some of the char-

acters at least have some strange and queer qualities, those that surrounded Claudia. And it was not surprising that Claudia, just a child in fancy, married Count Robert de Limon who had a castle but not much money. Claudia's married life was closely mixed up with her own dreams being shattered by certain goings on in the household. And so it is natural that Claudia becomes so fed up that she. while married', elopes with Felix, only to receive a nice letter from her husband asking her about domestic detail at the castle and stating that he would be glad when she returned. And she returns, tries to run away again and returns to stay by his side. And you leave Claudia there by the side of her husband when you finish the story.
