There are plenty of nooks and crannies in the 125 square miles of Andorra where a man can make him- self almost invisible. Moreover, the Andorreans, who for centuries have had border skirmishes with their Spanish neighbors. are not prone to ask questions of visitors who admire the fresh air and freedom of their mountains. Grazing and foresting are the occu- pations of the men of Andorra. They pride themselves that they retain many feudal customs and have a gov- ernment based upon a twelfth cen- tury system. They annually pay trib- ute to their co-sovereigns in France and Spain. France receives 960 francs, and the bishop of Urgel gets a tithe of 460 pesetas in the form of cattle and sheep, a thirteenth century arrange- ment. The Andorreans speak Catalonian, language of the province generally credited with breeding most of Spain's political dissensions. Some of their neighbors charge, in fact, that An- dorreans’ sympathy is not always with the law-abiding elements and that they devote more time to smuggling than they do to sheep-raising and foresting. The country lies in a moun- tain pass difficult for customs men to defend. Dickinson Boy Dives To Bottom of River; Limbs Are Paralyzed (Tribune Special Service) Dickinson, N.

College Heads Fargo, N. D., July 13.—A contract to make bronze relief portraits of two past presidents and one present of the North Dakota Agricultural college has been awarded Jon Magnus Jon- son, former student of the college and now nationally known sculptor of New York City, according to col- lege alumni who are backing the project. The contract calls for the likeness of Doctors John H. Worst; Edwin F. Ladd, deceased, and John Lee Coulter, cast in bronze. Mr. Jonson will first make the por- traits in clay and from these models he will cast the final relief in to the size of 18 by 30 inches The portraits are to be by next commencement, June, at which time they will be un' and placed in the North Dakota Agri- cultural college hall of honor. Dr. Worst occupied the president’: chair at ahe college from 1895 te 1916; Dr. Ladd from 1916 to 1921. and Dr. Coulter from 1921 to August, 1929 i i : REVOLUTIONARY IN 1924—STILL MORE SO TODAY “le was inevitable that Chrysler should attract a degree ot scientific interest accorded no other car in the past fifteen years. + Engineers, naturally, were first to appreciate that Chrysler, while adhering strictly to soundest principles of design, is a distinct departure from previous motor cer practice and performance. + They recognize in Chrysler an advance in automobile ‘i ae ” engineering as revolutionary as the development of the X-ray in medicine.

Chrysler had accomplished. Within four years, Chrysler had leaped to third place in the industry. How has Chrysler done it? What is the secret of this success? Simply that Chrysler gave in the beginning—each year since has given increasingly—and Such sweeping CHRYSLER “75"—$1535 to $1795—! today gives in still greater measure— not only a finer grade of basic quality but a higher order of performance, beauty, style, power, acceleration, safety, comfort—all at most reasonable prices. success must prove inevitably to the buyer of a Chrysler car today that he can count on the most advanced, the soundest, the safest and the most satisfying motor transportation his money can command.
