SEGRET DRINKERS HIT BY WOODCOCK Prohibition Director Promises to Pry on Fashionable Tmbiber Boston, Sept. 16.—(UP)—The Becret drinker will one day have the attention of trained investigators di- rected toward him, according to Major Amos W. Woodcock, national prohibition director, who confessed last night that he had no way of knowing how effective prohibition might be. He addressed an audience of 350 | mt Ford hall under auspices of the | law enforcement league. Private drinking, he said, “be- comes largely a matter of public opinfon.” After urging his listeners to ‘“create a sentiment” against the practice he said he thought it pos- sble to cope effectively with the activities of commercial violators of the law. After these had becn eliminated, he promised, his men would seek to stamp out the private drinker. “We will meet these some other time,” he said, referring to “fashion- able” imbibers. “I don't know whether we will meet Wwith entire success or not but I believe in my heart it is possible to drive out the liquor traffic.” Woodcock referred to prohibition as the “great adventure.” He ad- mitted he does not know how ef- fective prohibition is but said a sur- vey was being made by the prohibi- ton hureau to determine the point.

Strong, principal of the South Side school, Raymond Henderling and Roy Bark- er, particlpants in the final round, and William A. Garrett, who had charge of publicity operations. This action will be taken, Mr. Gel ger states, to remove the responsi- | bility off the shoulders of individuals, who may or may not continue the work of perpetuating competition in the sport here. The initial commit- tee, which he contends was chosen on the *'spur of the moment,” is now extinct, its duties having been con- cluded with the tournament. Just when the first meeting of players and | I followers will be called is not known, although it is thought that it will be called within a week. Mr. Geiger, in speaking of the tournament just passed, said: “The cooperation and substantial assist- ance rendered by Karl A. Reiche of the local schools, the high school au- thorities, Iuller F. Barnes, who loaned the tennis courts upon which the greater number of matches were played, Harry Russell of J. R. Mitchell and Sons, Peter Cawley of the Bristol Hardware company, E. L. Morin, local jeweler, each of whom donated silver loving cups, and Har- | ry Cook, who donated tennis shoes | for the winner of the consolation tournament, made the tournament possible.

Ten years ago any project for a memorial to any and every branch of the fighting services almost carried itself. The result is the eyesores that in all the belligerent lands so signally fail to honor those who fought and fell. We are cooler now, but not less grateful and not less proud. Only we have learned there are other and better ways of commemorating that gratitude and that pride than in stone and marble."” HINCHMAN JOINS ORIOLES Columbus, O., Sept. 16 (P—Bill Hinchman of Columbus, baseball and | basketball star at Ohio state univer- sity for three years, planned to leave | today to join the Baltimore Orloles of the International league.

It is our desire that Cadillac and La Salle owners and the motoring public be apprised of the fagts. The La Salle will remain companion car to Cadillac. It was so intro- duced, as such it has greatly succeeded and as such it will continue. Obvxously the number of motor cars which any manufacturer may sell in a given price field is finally governed by the ability of the Cadillac cars having gained almost universal acceptance in the finest car field, any considerable expansion must be through cultivation of Our experience has been in building fine cars. The Cadillac organi- zation could not adhere to its fine car ideals and successfully pro- $1 4—Other Acts—4 Sing and Tell You Stores About His “Uncle” Al Jolson BRING THE KIDDIES On the Screen Just plug in a Portable Elec- tric Heater for quick warmth in the bedroom, bathroom or at the breakfast table.

For the broader market, therefore, we created the La Salle out of our Cadillac experience and developed it as a quality car. For the highest priced fields we have produced the sixteen-cylinder Cadillac and the twelve-cylinder Cadillac. And between the very broad market for the La Salle and the rela- H tively narrow market for twelve and sixteen cylinder cars, there isa large market for Cadillac V-8’s. These lines of cars contribute to one another a tremendous influence in sales, a marked advance in values and make possible the low prices at which Cadillac and La Salle cars are sold. And this, briefly, is the reasoning in Cadillac’s program. Were it not for La Salle, all Cadillacs would be higher in price; and were it not for the Cadillacs, La Salle prices would necessarily be so high as to defeat the purposc for which the La Salle was designed. Each of these lines is dependent one upon the other—the Cadillac V-16, the Cadillac V-12, the Cadillac V-8, and their companion car, the La Salle.
