B. Detroit, plus freight and delivery. Bumpers and spare tire extra at low cost.) Wheén you buy a Ford car today, you buy what is unquestionably the greatest value in the history of the Ford Motor Company. Never before has so much beauty, comfort, safety and performance been offered at such a low price. The low: price of the Ford is something to think about because it means an immediate saying of many dollars — always an important consideration. But far more significant than price alone is what you get for that price.. - When high quality is combined with low price, you may justly take pride in havmg found a most satisfactory purchase. See the Ford—-ride in it—Ilearn something about the valie'that is built into every part. The more you know about it, the more certain you will be that it is the car for you. It is literally true that when you . “gets th;e;f:gq‘;_ you will get, a Fofrd.” JUNEAU MOTORS CO. DISTRIBUTORS PRINTING STATIONERY Desk Supplies—Ink—Desk SGla— Blotters—Office Supp! Geo. M.

A short time ago in New York /City, three men invaded the hotel jToom of a prominent gangster and empned their automatics into his | anatomy. Although the gangster { was badly wounded, he lived. When | he regained consciousness in a hos- | | pital he resolutely refused to iden- itify his sasailants. Many persons | therefore profess a measure of ad- | miration for this man, because they {consider he was living up to his |own mistaken “code of honor.” As a matter of fact, he didn't ‘ “squeal” because he hoped to-live; and he knew that squealing would ‘unquestmnab]y seal his doom when 1he left the hospital. i ‘There are gangsters possessed of \hardy courage, an exnmple of this |type being shown in “The Last !Pamde," the Columbia picture| | playing for the last times tonight, {at the Capitol theatre. | Cookie Leonard, a former news- paper reporter, turns gangsber when | he is hungry and unable to get a job.

Bering Sea Cave Yields Mummies ~of Vanished Race WASHINGTON, Aug. 19—A cave full of mummies. of the Aleuts, an Indian race that has practically disappeared from the earth, has been found on a small Bering sea island. ; The mummies, several hundred years old, were located by Moreau B. Chambers and James A. Ford, field archaeologists of the national museum, who reported their find to Henry B. Collins, jr. The Aleuts, who inhabit the ;| Aleutian islands that extend like a long tail from the southwest corner of Alaska, have been so in- fused with Russian blood that they have parctically disappeared as a purz race, Collins says, and have lost most of their ancient culture. Aleut mummies, unlike those of the Egyptians, were preserved largely by the climate instead of by artificlal means. .The bodies were stuffed with grass, wrapped in native-woven- cloth and the skins of seals and sea otters. They were well preserved by the cold climate, Collins explains. New Florsheim Oxfords Arrived ‘Today $9.00 H. S. Graves .
