HjWPfWW when you consider a motor car. Prices a:e
cot a!way- what they seem.
If the CASE Car were equipped only as KM
other cars its price would be much different.
But It carries as regular equipment the "ex- IgS
tras' 1 you must have—extra casing with tube
on rim with tire cover, Weed non-skid tire
MB chains and 8-day clock. Of course, there's
■H&I the usual equipment, too. So the CASE Car HB
—even at sl3so—certainly if you partake of
the 5 per cent discount for cash—makes the
purchase price far less than that of any other mi
car ' n ' ts c ' ass - Without its extra equipment
it would sell for $1239.75.

■ episode of that great serial by George
Randolph Chester, entitled "Runaway
[June." Thls_ interesting story was
| based on the fact that when a woman
marries she loses her independence, be
cause she is compelled to accept her
husband's money. "June," the central
figure of this feature, had always had
everything she desired and was
never dependent upon any person, so
when she realized that she was without
funds and must look to her husband
for money she ran away after having
been married only two hours. The man
with the black Vandvke huys a watch
which she had sold and continually fol
lows her about. "Runaway June's" ex

eleventh episode. "The Exploits of

RIVER FRONT WALK
COMPLETE MAY 20
[Continued from First I'agc.l
haven't been officially notified about
the steps at Market street. I under
stand that they are to be constructed
across the opening there. This, of
course, will be undertaken after we
have the granolithic walk put down.
Youthful acts of vandalism are
threatening to mar the beauty of the
River Front wall and steps.
Ever since the improvement was
completed small boys, and some of
their older brothers. It Is believed,
have rolled big stones down the em
bankments upon the concrete chip
ping and gouging out big chunks tn
such a way as to seriously Interfere
with the general attractiveness of the
steps. In view of the fact that the
improvement is still in the hands of
the Board of Public Works and the
contractor, these breaks will all have
to be repaired by the contractor.
The permanent beauty and sym
metry of the steps will always be
threatened, however, unless the acts
are stopped, and In order to prevent
further danger to the steps the Board
of Public Works and Park Commis
sioner M, Harvey Taylor have
planned to co-operate by keeping a
double look-out. Park Commissioner
Taylor will place a park policeman
on the Job to serve as River Front
patrol for the purpose of apprehend
ing and vigorously prosecuting of
fenders.
The action on the part of the Board
of Public Works and Mr. Taylor to
patrol the steps with a policeman In
order to prevent damage was praised
by Mr. Stucker.
