Kenworthy & Ilanaford occupy a building erected especially for this purpose. This building, unlike the or. Binary paint shop, contains separate finishing rooms that may be entirely closed from the rest of the build- ing. From the finishing rooms the cars are removed to drying rooms, where they are allowed to remain at a correct drying temperature, there- fore insuring a perfect finish, free from dust. Motors are also coup pletely cleaned and painted during this process. Kenworthy & Ilanaford's top and upholstering department is reputed capable of caring for every automo- bile requirement, whether it lie an entire replacement or a small repair job. They furnish slip-covers for closed cars, tire covers. special driv- ing cushions. special winter tops for Fords and other accessories. SERVICE that is prompt, Service that is accurate, Service that is efficient, is assured here; but more than this we offer Service that is friendly Service that is courteous, Service that is enthusiastic.

Perry, President By Lobel Taubea. IENNA—A few weeks ago the of- ficial Hungarian Press Bureau sent the news to the press of Vienna that there was ill Hungary a sort of "sui- cide mania" or epidemic. During the last year suicides have increased more than tIve-fold. Of course, no one could question an "epidemic" of which there are always some In existence, partlett. tarty in a period following a devastat- ing war. Now scientific research will be directed to an Investigation of the causes and grounds for this new baf- fling epidemic. Most of the newspapers printed the dispatch without comment or discus- shin of any kind. In a tow lines the subject was disposed of. A few days later the snore press bureau announced that the wine merchant, Adolph Lan- dau, who had been arrested on u charge of "espionage," t•ointnitted sui- cide by hanging himself in jail. Du ffi :, while official Hungary Is satisfied wit slating the facts and would not assign any reasons for the epidemic of imi. elites, people with thir eyes open know perfectly well that any statement as to an "epidemic" of suicides which official Hungary is sending into the world Is a mere blind and sham, and that the statement is merely an "of- fielal" manner of settling an unpleas- ant truth. Vienna Papers Keep "Neutral," Some of the Vienna newspapers which are not connected with the Hun- garian government and which do not receive aid from Martha's' administra- tion have printed the news of the mys- terious suicide of the merchant Adolph Landau, but the world paid little at- tention to it. Other newspapers have not even thought fit to mention a word about it and have followed out their theory of keeping "neutral" In the matter. But all of a sudden news On Sept. 21 Dr. Rutile sent to the reached the world which threw a dif- Landau family an ultimatum.
