"Strong Arm" Report Brings Smile Some Brooklynites who professed to gee in the defeat of Itrnphy. their candi date for rulcrshlp. an insult to the pres tige of Greater New York, stnrtcd a ,tn,. tndnr that shore policemen de tailed to guard the big convention ball on the Steel I'ier kept na n sufficient number of I!roph men to insure a vic tory for the Nebraska nominee. Since Rain's majority was more than Brophv's total of vote-., the jubilant ad ministration followers told the mourn ful I5rooklnites to bury their sorrow and try again net year. Punsters today said that in view of the impending national dr.nc. the selection of si feet of Rain to guide milk in what wns probably the mer Klkdoin during the ensuing tuilvo months wns exceedingly fitting. Other wits found absurdity in the fact tlint Rain hails from a bone-drv state. One of the most enthusiastic of the supporters of the new grand exnlted ruler is Colonel Michael A. Ilartignn. born a Pcnnsylvnnlnn. lint for ycnis a lnwyer of Hastings. N.b. Not being modest about his age. this Neliraskan admits that it is more limn liftv r.ears since he pulled up stakes in Wilkes -Barre nnd crossed the Mississippi. The colonel wears n sombrero, a curious -en t of coat that buttons to the throat and a collar that went out of fashion dur , Ing the seventies.

TRIAL BOARD LOSES POWER Police Body. Under New Charter, Cannot Discharge Patrolmen The police trial board will lose its power to dismiss a patrolman from the service after the new eitv charter goes into effect on July "U The new- char ter u ovules tli.it no patrolman shnll be disc linrged without a hearing before the Civil Service ('oiiimision. Director of Public Safety Wilson will confer with the i oiiiniissioncrs this week to determine e-snctl.v what the new law means. It is not understood whether nil cases are to tie considered by the commission after first being heard by the trial board or only those in which dismissal is recommended. The police tnal board will hold three more sessions before the new r barter is effective. The first will be held totnor low. another next Thursdav nnd the final one on .lulv L' 1. The board wns organised during the Clay ndministrn tion with "star chamber" proceedings. During the Bliinkcnburg administration it was i tiled t tin t all hearings were to be open. This practice has been continued. THERE is only one Cadillac, and, for most excellent reasons, there can be only one. The Cadillac did not spring full-fledged, into the possession of its beautiful readiness, and ease, and reliability. As well ask a boy to arrive, over night, at the poise, and mature judgment of a man. The qualities which distinguish the Cadillac steadily and progressively developed by a skilled group of designers, engineers and craftsmen have been seven teen years in the making. The Cadillac of today, is the fruit of thousands of forward-looking yesterdays. Through these earnest, painstaking yesterdays, this corps of master workmen has brought the Cadillac to the world-wide precedence which it enjoys today. Everyone feels, in the Cadillac, a definite, superior, something, which few are able to express in words. That definite something is the well-rounded comple tion and co-ordination which can only come when trained minds work together, through years of de votion and development. Back of the Cadillac which you buy today, arc more than 75,000 of the same eight-cylinder type. The deep-seated satisfaction which you feel, the economy, the ease and the certainty which you enjoy, all flow out of the experience gained in the develop ment of this type. There is only one Cadillac, and there can be only one. Automobile Sales Corporation 142 North Broad Street CADILLAC. MOTOR CAR COMPANY" DETROIT, MICH.

Then the foreign element began to encroach upon the section, nnd the old tenants were slowly forced to move. Yenrlv the row showed more tenant- less houses.

Then came the war nnd the influx into this city of a vast, new population composed of war, shipyard and muni. tion plnnt workers.
