PUBLIC'S LIKES ! | GOVERNTRENDS IN MOTOR GARS By ALLEN QUINN Automobile Editor (Associated Press Feature Service) DETROIT, Dec. 3.—Keen compe- | tition in the automobile industry keeps manufacturers constantly on the alert. Design, performance and innova- tions of competitors are watched closely and when one car comes out with superlative performance, or a| change in construction which takes the public fancy, it matched closely in other makes of cars This tendency to match formance has been apparent years. Several years o it found that only two makes of cars | could climb a certain experimental per- for was i hill in high gear.

In the little community living on the Palace Mews, members of the | Palace household staff are polish- ing up the ballroom floor in an old | stable, brushing up dinner jackets, | and sewing spangles on evening frocks. For social events in the royal household are not confined to the | imposing state rooms of the pal- ace. The queen, who takes a per- sonal interest in every member of her staff, sees to it that holidays | come with regularity and that the recreation is not lacking for those who live in the Mews. This year the king’s illness has given the servants even more time to play. The king issued a very imposing royal decree setting aside the stable as a ballroom and concert hall. One of the coachmen rigged up a stage fitted with footlights and spotlights. The dancing season officially opened in September and will con- tinue until May, when the regular two-weeks’ vacations begin. The standing orchestra consists of a groom who plays the drums and a coachman’s daughter who plays the | plano. On special occasions other talent is imported. Preparations are already afoot in| the Mews for the Christmas enter- tainments. The children of the‘ community are earnestly conning their parts for the annual Christ- mas play which is the high point of the Yuletide festivities . Queen Mary, when she is in Lon- don, takes great interest in the re- hearsals and is frequently a mem- ber of the little audience that gath- ers to comment upon the actors’ progress. — .. - STUDENTS IN MANILA PROTEST DRESS RULE MANILA, Dec. 3.—Almost all of the students at the University of the Philippines are protesting a law which requires that they at- tend school attired in inexpensive white cotton clothing, but only one student, Miss Rosario Sison, has of the statute.

P. Feature Service Writer) LONDON, Dec. 3.—British motor- ists and jurists are becoming not a little concerned over the question of how to distinguish between the theft of ah, automobile and the unauthorized borrowing of one. Under English Jaw it is impos- sible to convict a person of larceny without proving not only that the property in question was fraudul- ently taken, but that it was the taker's intention to deprive the owner permanently thereof. The culprit in whose possession the missing car is found need only declare, “I didn’t steal it; I only went for a ride,” and it is up to the ONLY TWINS ALLOWED AT CAROLINA PICNIC MATTHEWS, N. C, Dec. 3.— Eighty-seven pairs of twins recently attended the Sustar-Kuestar twins’ picnic here. It was the second an- nual picnic with J. E. Sustar and B. A. Sustar, aged 69, of Matthews and Clarence and Faiston Kuester, Jr., 14, acting as hosts. Every other set of twins in Meck- lenburg County and a number of eugenic students seeking informa- tion on multiple birth were invited. The information gathered will be filed at the eugenic record office at Cold Spring Harbor, N. Y. JAIL-LESS VILLAGE TO HAVE GALLOWS ST. LOUIS, Dec. 3— Huntleigh, newly incorporat- ed St. Louis suburb, has no town jail but it soon is to have a gallows and a pair of old-fashioned stocks for “atmosphere.” They will be displayed in a conspicuous public place purely for ornamental pur- poses. Authentic American relics will serve as models for their construction. The new community is an exclusive residential district. LRCEC IR BRI B I ) prosecutio nto prove him a liar. Police court cases show the “bor- rowing habit” is on the increase, and magistrates have frankly ad- mitted that a strict interpretation of the law does not permit bench or jury to assume that “theft was in the mind” of the person who ran off with the car. Unless there is evidence to show he liked it well enough to keep it indefinitely, " or definitely planned to sell it as loot, there is small chance of convicting him of any- thing worse than petty thievery of a little gasoline and oil—if it can be proved he did not furnish gas and oil at his own expense. It is highly irritating to the mo- torist who had been without his car for 48 hours to have to listen t0 an e argument over whether the man fr—————. — who took it was acting “animo furandi,” or merely “cepit et as- the automobile from its alleged resting place beside the curb. So there is a growing de- mand for amendment of the exist- |ing law. | Meanwhile it is possible for the victimized owner, if he wants to go to the trouble, to bring civil action ngainst the joyrider—to sue him for the inconvenience and mental distress he has caused. So far, |however, no such case has come into | court. Finds White Sheep i With Black Tails | san DIEGO, Cal, Dec. 3.—Wild white sheep with black tails were the lure which took Robert Froth- ingham into the Yukon and through almost inaccessible parts of the Campbell Mountain range. The former New York magazine executive succeeded in bringing down with a rifle an old ram of the species for which he searched. The Campbell Mountains lie be- tween the head waters of the Pelly River and Frankes Lake, which is an unfailing reservoir for Frances River. This district is right on the divide between the Yukon River and the Liard River.
