NEW YORK GYPS HAKE EASY HONEY BY BUYING AND SELLING AUTOS

When In New York look out for1 yyps. Don't know what a gyp is? Well, you don't have to fear them unless you attempt to purchase a second nand automobile; Then watch your ttep. The gyps are the direct descendants of the old time horse traders. Their tricks are as many as those of the traveling gypsy who would doctor a wheezing, knock-kneed, descrepit nag to look like a young thoroughbred. The motor car gyp can also accomplish temporary miracles. Under his deft fingers worn down cylinders and pistons are suddenly brought together and compression seems nearly perfect: Gears that have shrieked and rattled begin to purr like a well fed cat and the victim gets a "demonstration" that is highly satisfactory. A gyp sees for instance a fairly good looking touring car of the vintage of 1911 in the hands of a dealer. "How much?" he asks. 'Til sell for $650," but after a good bit of dickering the dealer, makes it $500. "I think it'll just suit a friend of mine," says Mr. Gyp. Looking over the classified newspa

per ads the next day we see "Private party compelled to sell his car (1914), cost $4,000 for $1,000; all equipment; jast like new. See Gyp, Hotel Pluto." "Must be all right if he lives in that hotel," the bargain hunter argues. He finds the gyp, in a low priced hotel room. "Oh, yes," said the gyp. "I have to give up my car. I'm funny about such things always wanting a new car. My chaffeur keeps them in perfect condition, but I have to get a new one every spring." And so on and so forth. Gyps often hire private garages or stables in the districts inhabited by the wealthy. It is known that a gyp has gone as far as Plalnfield, New Jersey, in hiring a private garage to five an air of genuineness to the claim of a private sale. As to doping them, graphite mixed with cedar sawdust is sued to tame the worn gears in a transmicsion or differential, while a very heavy lubricating oil or mixture containing wax will fill the spaces between piston and cylinder and bring compression almost up to normal. , " . ,

TRINITY BOYS FORM SOCIETY IN CHURCH

A young men!s club has been organized among the boys and younger men of Trinity Lutheran church and the trustees have given them the use of the old church parsonage on South Seventh street, as a permanent home. The club is entirely social in Its purpose and was organized for the purpose of keeping the boys in closer touch with ' afairs of the church. A group of the younger married men of the church are acting as sponsors for the club and are assisting both in financial and moral support, but do not have a voice in the transaction of business. The active members of the club are all boys from twelve to. eighteen years old, and any Lutheran boys of the city may become members upon meeting the requirements of the organization.

"Y" SHOP WORKERS HOLD FOUR SERVICES

AMERICANS REFUSE LABOR ON STREETS

We want men to work for us and we find it hard to get them," said the foreman of a gang now at work placing a concrete pavement on Soutli Twenty-third street, at police headquarters today. v "I wish that you would inform every man who comes to the city building for shelter at nights that there is a job open for him on South Twentythird street, providing. he is willing to work. We pay 20 cents an hour, work ten hours a day and we will be on the job at least five months. We could use fifty more men right now." Superintendent Johnson of the Light. Heat and Power company, which is relaying and repairing gas mains in various parts- of the city, als-j reported that it was difficult to sere as many laborers as required. Ae street contracting foreman frahkly expressed the opinion that the average American is too proud or too lazy to perform manual labor. "I've heard 'em standing on the street corners growling about having no work but when I offer 'em a job which paya $12! a week some turn me down flat, Dthers say they will report for work and fall to show up, while others start to work and quit after a few hours because their backs get a little sore."

Four, non shop meetings were held this week under the auspices of the Religious work committee of the Y. M. C. A. The meetings were contin

ued at the request of the men of the

shops. The meeting today was held at -the Dille-McGuire factory and the talk was given by Rev. E. GHoward, pastor of the First English Lutheran ehurch. Music was furnished for the meeting by Mrs. Charles, Marvel and Miss Harold. On Wednesday a meeting was held at the Swayne-Robinson plant by Rev.

J. J. Rae, pastor of the Firt Presbyterian church and Rev. E. E. Davis, pastor of the Second Presbyterian rlmi ch held the meeting at the Amer- : a Seeding Machine factory on the i?;. me day. The meeting . yesterday was held at the F. and N. Lawn Mower factory with Rev. W. R. Motley in charge of the service. Music was fur

nished by Mrs. Warren Lacey and Mrs. E. E. Meyers.

DIVORCES AND WEDS IN THIRTY MINUTES

Divorced and married again within

a half hour is the record of Elmer Klinger, who celebrated his twentieth birthday Wednesday. Klinger was married at the age of 17 to a young woman wliom he claims was untrue to him. He filed-a divorce suit last summer, charging her with infidelity after he .left ...the .hospital where he was confined for six week3 with' multiple, injuries resulting . from a motorcycle accident. Today Klinger brought his sweetheart and mother to the circuit court with him. He was represented by Attorney Frank Strayer, who also has power to perform marriage ceremonies. The few legal formalities were complied with in short order and Klinger withdrew from the court room with his intended and his mother to the clerk's office on the second floor. He secured a marriage license there, his mother Bigning her consent, as he still lacks a year of the required age for males. The attorney and justice of peace then hastened the three to his office on Main street and the knot was tied in the presence of Mrs. Klinger.

SWOBODA GAINS AS AUTHORITIES PROBEJBHARGES French Assert La . Touraine Caught Fire From Cotton Cargo and Friends Believe Suspect Cleared. HAVRE, April 2. Sudden and startling developments today indicated a complete collapse of the government's charge that Raymond Swoboda attempted to blow up La Tou-

raine. his examination was again postponed twenty-four hours. The government commission which examined La Touraine has altered its opinion that, the fire aboard the liner was caused by an explosion and now believes that it was due to some mysterious ignition of bales of cotton. FRIENDS SUPPORT HIM. PARIS, April 2. While attaches of

the United States embassy were en-1

gaged today in verifying the nationality of Raymond Swoboda, who was arrested on the charge of trying to blow up the French liner La Touraine at sea, friends of the accused man rallied to his assistance, declaring that he is .innocent. One of the staunchest. supporters of Swoboda is M. Trescat, a stock broker

and business associate of the prisoner. "Men connected with the stock exchange who know Swoboda are surprised at his arrest," said he. . "He was known to be well off and had numerous French customers whose money he invested for - them. He spoke German well because he had spent two years at Heidelberg university. It is probable that the photo showing him in a German uniform, which the police claim to have found, was taken while he was in school at Heidelberg. "Mr. Swoboda has an uncle who is an architect in Vancouver, B. C. Plans which the police declare they seized in Swoboda's baggage may belong to this uncle, whom my friend visited recently." According to the Matin Swoboda

was arrested last August at Viroflay, near Versailles while wandering near the military works there at nght. He presented his American passport and protested so emphatically against detention that he was released.

50,000 IN ENGLAND QUIT USE OF LIQUOR LONDON', April 2. Temperance leaders estimated today that at least 50 000 persons ranging in station from i he lowliest laborers to members of I he peerage have foresworn the use of Bleoholical beverages during the remainder of the war as the result of King George's letter promising to bar Intoxicants from the royal table. Cabinet members, diplomats, and other men high in public life were quick to ,'ollow the lead set by the king. Thj irofits of the public house keepers already have begun to shrink, and soon they will be losing $500,000 a day. The water wagon was today more widely discussed than the war itself.

The arrival of Dr. Cofer of the : United States bureau of health wiil ! be an event in the city, as Dr. Cofer j

is one of the leading specialists will) the health bureau. Mrs. Mary T. R. Foulke said today that Dr. Cofer will reach Richmond April 10 and depart April 15. He will stop first in Indian

apolis where he will receive state au- i thorizatlon to do his work in Rich-1

mond. It is impossible to make any plans in anticipation of the government health specialist, Mrs. Foulke said, because it is impossible to determine in advance what plan Dr. Cofer will follow. "I believe he will work in conjunction with those who are already carrying on the work in such an efiicent manner here," Mrs. Foulke said. "I understand Dr. Cofer is next to the surgeon general' in rank."

The richest man in the world is Czar Nicholas of Russia. He once gave $100,000,000 from his private treasury to Russia's war fund.
