PAGE FIGHT SORLIE WAS NOT INTERESTED IN TREASURERSHIP Wrote Senator Nye on April 14, Urging That Cathro Be Recommended However much the proposal may have interested other citizens, Gov- ernor A. G. Sorlie had little inter- est in the suggestion that he be a candidate for United States treasur- er, correspondence released today at the governor's offic: indicated. When the idea that he be a can- didate for the federal job was broached, the executive said he had some correspondence on the mattcr which he was not at liberty to make public. The appointment of a Ten- hessee man to the Lira relieved Governor Sorlie of his obligation, however. In a letter to Seuator Gerald P. Nye, dated April 14, the governor 8 “Your message of April 13th reached me last evening, in which ou state that you and Senator Frasier have recommended my aj pointment to succeed Mr. White, and that you desire to know whether or not I would accept the appointment. “The reason I am in the public service work in North Dakota is that I want to help work out the problems confronting our people to get them into a more constructive frame of mind. I believe I have been at least eet successful in accomplishing this. If the Federal Government should ask my servicet to help work out national proble: and get the people into a better frame of mind I should be very glad to help; but I am not looking for anything, particularly a job. As I look at it being treasurer of the United States gives no opportunity for doing constructive work. “If somebody from North Dakota could be appointed to this position, I would suggest the appointment of Mr. Fred W. Cathro, inspector of the Depositors Guaranty Fund Com- mission. I should hate to lose him, but I should 1::e to help him better his position. ‘ “I thank you and Senator Frazier for recommending me for this ap- pointment.” CONTRACTS LET ON 15 PROJECTS Road Work Approved by High- way Commission Extends to 15 Counties Road improvements totaling $335,- 626.80 were awarded by the state highway commission here Friday.

Talent—Miss Bryant, Direc- tor, Deserves Credit—Music | Furnished by High School| Orchestra BY MARJORIE BROCKMAN Members of the Junior class of Bismarck high school did splendid work in “The Tightward” which they presented last evening at the city auditorium. The comedy was one of the best ever played by local high school talent. The plot of the play and the com- plications involved proved to be most amusing to the audience. The humor was subtle but well handled by the players. Throughout the en- tire play the action was quick and Progressive. Fay Brown, playing the title role, did a fine piece of acting. In the second act he sell prospective father-in-law on estate in- vestment with a more elles | Boutrous, as Mr. Taylor, was also an outstanding character in the expounding his philosophy which became a bit inconsistent at times, but none the less humorous. Thelma Anderson played the feminine lead, and looked quite love- ly enough to make a tightwad out of Tommy Jordan in *vder to win her. Agnes Tosseth, in the part of Mrs. Taylor, the mother, assumed a typical attitude and retained it con- tently throughout the play. Audrey Rohrer, as Mai Harris, and LaMont Hoskins, laying her ince, Elmer Taylor, offered good comedy in the inderstandings of their “puppy ‘o.e.” Ralph Wenzel gave a good performance for the second time this season. As Orval Stone in the play last evening he again proved his dramatic ability. The comedy of the play was heightened in the third act with the arrival of the Swedish servants, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and Martha Anderson, played by Guy Larson, Mary Cave and Esther Wilson. The part of the taxi driver, who made several appearances, was played by Robert Ward. i Miss Pearl Bryant of the Bis- marck high school faculty, who di- rected the play, deserves credit for the successful production o: “The Tightward.” Fay Brown was busi- ness manager for the play beside taking the leading part. Ja- cobson, Irvin Cervinski and Elmer Klipstein served the cast as ad- vertising managers; Iris Meinhover, Theo. Vettel and Claire Koffel,.stage managers; Marvel Kjelstrup, Robert Ward and Elmer Church, property managers; Ada Herbert and Maxine than comic. Music during the intermission was furnished by the high school or- chestra, under the direction of S. P. Orwoll. ‘Horace Michael Says ‘The Poor Nut’ Is Not a Story of Himself YoungHorace Michael, star of that effervescent comedy success, “The Poor Nut,” which comes to the Bis- marck auditorium, Wednesday, May 2, insists that in his own college days at Amherst College, he was not in the least like the eroping and un- certain young man that he plays, nightly, in the “Poor Nut” show. ‘If I ever went through a ‘John Miller’ pay in my life,” says Horace Michael, “it was not at col- lege, for there I managed to get into the center, or swing, of the most active parts of University life; I was more or less ‘into everything,’ s0 to speak, and had an exceédingly go time in addition to studying, acting in all the college theatricals (I was president of “The Masquers,” . the dramatic club at Ambherst,) and i yf perhaps ysel journalist.

Wednesday, at Unusual Demand Registered For Whippet Coach With prices on the Whippet jmodels reduced to the lowest range in Willys-Overland history, the de- mand for these flashy light 4-cylin- der cars continues unabated, accord- ing to Willys-Overland sales execu- tives. pci? there is a heavy demand for all Whippet models, the perfected Whippet coach, a 5-passenger model, ranks as one o: the outstanding favorites with motor car buyers. The front of the 1928 Whippet coach presents a decidedly new ap- pearance through the adoption of the abrupt or town car type of sun visor in place of the longer type which was formed by a continuation of the roof lines. The new visor, in addition to providin; wider range of vision, imparts a smart military effect to the cowl section of the car. Following the style set by the Willys - Knight group, the syntepet coach is also equipped with full crowned fenders, contrasting window The new type fenders add a touch of smartness to the sweeping lines of the cars, An automatic windshield wiper, stop light and rear view mirror have been added to the 1928 Whippet models as standard equipment. The rich color combination of the coach also presents a decided change from the original. This represents a beeutiful blend of gray with strip- ing. The interior upholstery is a fine grade 6f corduroy, rounding out the pleasing color scheme. The.Whippet coach, like other cars of this line, has won a distinctive reputation for speed, power, stamina, fuel economy, comfortable ridii qualities, safety and utmost reliabil- ity in the 20 months it has been on the market. It was the first car in the light four cylinder field to set a new. and definite trend toward the ste an t of construction. Many of the features first intro- duced in this price class by the Whippet, such as four-wheel brakes, low center cf gravjty, generous leg room, speed, power and fuel economy, have since become recognized by the public and other manufacturers as necessary to the modern car. It is pointed out, however, that many other features are still ex- clusive to the Whippet which have led automotive experts to declare that the Whippet embraces such in- built qualities that it is accorded the quality leadership in that price field. These features include an engine that more than doubles its rated horsepower, heavy drilled crankshaft with full force feed lubri- cation and proved stamina and serv- iceability over a period of nearly two years. The Whippet coach amply accom- modates five passengers, two in the individual front seats, and three in "| the spacious rear seat. The front seats fold forward, and in conjunc- tion with the wide doors provides HE BISMAKUK 1KIBUNE ON MOTOR ROW reveals and remote door controls. bri easy entrance and exit to and from the rear compartment.

Fleck Motor Sales, Inc. has arrived, in the opinion of the Chrysler corporaticn’s service de- velit when a message of tiendly counsel should be broad- cast to automobile owners about the spring care of their cars. Devotees of sport take pains to recondition their golf clubs, tent rackets and other paraphernalia that have been laid away in dark closets through the winter, observes J. L. Kenyon, director of Chrysler service, in the April issue of the “Chrysler News.” But how many automobile owners,, he asks, give pronef thought to having the car checked over as the summer sea- son nears, so that they know it is in tip-top condition? His implied answer to his own query. is that there are decidedly fewer than there should be. The Chrysler service director makes the interesting suggestion) that if the car were put away in. the fall, like the golf and tennis and fishing equipment, it would receive s much and as thorough revamp- ig with the return of blue skies as is given to any of the other po: sessions which contribut2 to one heartiest enjoyment of lite. “Preventive maintenance” is the remedy he a prencrites for the present neglect spring tuning-up for automobiles.
