Washington The senate Monday
declined by a tie vote to return build
ing brick to the free list during a ses
sion on the tariff bill which was
marked by charges and denials that
the republican administration was
failing to meet unemployment and
general business problems.
The vote on brick, the most import
ant of the day. came on a proposal
of Senator Pnrkley of Kentucky, to
eliminate the proposed tariff of 1.2;
a thousand on plain ami $1.50 on
glazed brick. A tie. 3t to oti. re
sulted, and the amendment was re

would demand a separate vote later.
Eleven republicans and twenty-live
democrats voted for free bricks, while

about the organization and the com

As stated a hove, too few responde i
to the request. Of those who did of

navigation: tourist cabin camp: a
Platte river amusement enterprise:
swimming pool, and numerous oth
ers. All are good and out of them
will come some concrete plan for se
curing at least a few of the objects
sought.
One. in particular, deals with the
subject of providing an athletic held
for the baseball and football games,
track meet:', etc., suggesting that by
providing adequate drainage, the
present ball park would be ideal, d;i
to its sandy loam.
This particular letter, which con
tains much food for thought is as
follows:
"Dear Sirs: In regard to your re
quest for suggestions for the better
ment of the community, would like
to see the I'lattsniouth Chamber of
Commerce sponsor a movement to
ward constructing an athletic field
that would be a source of pride and
pleasure to the city and the surround
ing community. With the splendid
new bridge and highways leading in
to the city, what would be more ap
propriate than a good baseball, foot
ball and track Held east of the Hur
lington tracks In sight of the scenic
drive from the new bridge?
"A drainage ditch from the sewer
and subway leading to the river
would prevent flooding, and the sandy
loam of the soil which quickly ab
sorbs water, would make the old
baseball park one of the tinesti In the
state.
"In the past year, our baseball
team has had to play at Murray and
was known as the Murray baseball
team on account of not having a
place to play at home. Our I. H. S.
team has been humiliated before vis
iting teams by the miserable condi
tion and shabby appearance of the
home grounds.
"We have a good town, a good
farming community, a good bridge
and good roads, and the best people
in the world. Why not a good play
ground for the boys? I am sure that
with an efficient organization like
yours to start the movement, that all
would join In and help construct a
park that would, at least, compare
favorably with other towns of like
size. Am offering these suggestions
as a booster."
Remember, YOUR Chanvber of
Commerce wants to hear from YOU
as to what you think will he of great
est benefit to Flattsmouth practi
cal ideas, suggestions and criticism
all will be welcome.
i prevailing in all quarters
Walsh said he expected t li is
content" to be reflected in the spec
ial congressional 'election in Mass
achusetts Tuesday.
Says Conditions Bad.
In his warning to the democrats
not to carry their rate slashing pro
gram too far, Senator Walsh said that
be j did not mean "that we should vote
for every increase that is proposed
here; that we should disregard all
basic fundamental principles of pro
tection and lion protection."
He added that while he disliked to
say so and was not saying it for
politb-al purposes, conditions were de
plorable. He said his attention bad
been- called to a report in a Hoston
that unemployment was
worse in that city than at any time
in twenty-five years and that one
plant in his home city of Clinton is
going to Tlose down on April 1.
Gillctt of Massachusetts charac
terized these claims as "a fine argu
ment, of course, on which to elect
a democratic congressman in a dis
trict where there is. of course, some
unemployment."
"Ther is unemployment," he said,
"but that the administration has
done nothing to reduce it is also, it
strikes me, a gross misstatement."
The lepuhlican senator, who has
announced he Vould not run again,
said the country is "much more hos
tile" to the tariff than it was six
month ago. State Journal.

TWENTY-SEVEN years ago the Ford Motor Company
was formed to provide reliable, economical trans
portation for all the people. That original purpose
has never changed. The constant effort in every activity
is to find ways to give you greater and greater value
without extra cost frequently at lowered cost. This
applies to distribution and similar important factors,
as well as manufacture.
For the Ford Motor Company believes that its full
duty is not only to make a good automobile at the
lowest possible price, but to see that there is no waste,
extravagance, or undue profit in any transaction from
the time the car leaves the factory until it is delivered
to your home. It is obvious that hard-won savings in
production will be of little value if they are sacrificed
later through excessive selling costs.
EvTRY purchaser of a motor car has the right to know
how much of the money, he pays is for the car itself
and how much is taken up by dealer charges. If these
charges are loo high, one of two things must happen.
Either the price of the car must be raised or the
quality lowered. There is no other way. The money
must come from somewhere.
In the case of the Ford, the low charges for distri
bution, selling, financing and accessories mean a direct
saving of at least $30 to $75 to every purchaser in
addition to the still greater savings made possible by
economies in manufacturing. Ford charges are not
marked up or increased to cover a high trade-in
allouance on a used car.
The profit margin on the Ford car has always
been fair to both the dealer and the public. "Within the
past three months, it has been possible to effect still
further economies. Today, the discount or commis
sion of the Ford dealer is the lowest of any automobile
tlealer. The difference, ranging from 25 to nearly
50, conies right off the price you pay for the car.
The business of the Ford dealer is good because he
makes a small profit on a large number of sales instead
of a large profit on fewer sales. He knows, too, that
the extra dollar-for-dollar value of the car makes
it easier to sell and more certain to give satisfactory
service after purchase.
Consider also that the Ford car is delivered to the
purchaser equipped with a Triplex shatter-proof glass
windshield, an extra steel-spoke wheel, and bright,
enduring Rustless Steel for many exterior metal
parts, in addition to four Houdaille double-acting;
hydraulic shock absorbers anil fully enclosed four
wheel brakes.
If for any reason you wish to buy certain small
accessories, you will find that these, too, are sold at
the usual Ford low prices. Replacement parts are also
available at low prices through Ford dealers in every
section of the country.
TllESE are important points to remember in consid
ering the purchase of a motor car. They show why it
is possible to put so much extra quality into the new
Ford and still maintain the low price. They are
also the reasons why more than 35 of all cars
sold today are Model A Fords.

Mrs. Hall
Forgives Dying
Tig Woman
Suffering from Cancer, Sends a Mes
sage to Her ' Accuser
Reply Doubtful
New York, Feb. fi. Suffering lift
ed Mrs. Frances Stevens Hall, who
bet. raved nn emotion diirins: an or
deal few women could have endured,
to the heights of forgivness early to
night. Stricken and contemplating
the hereafter, she forcave the "pig
woman." her chief accuser. Here is
the telegram she sent to the Jersey
City hospital charity bed where Jane
Gibson is dying:
"A heart without malice sends
you forgiveness."
In these words Mrs. liaii, wnom
the state of New Jersey attempted
to send to the electric chair on the
strength of testimony of Mrs. Gib
son, forgave those cruel days when
the world pointed to her as the sus
pected double murderess who killed
her husband. Rev. Dr. Edward Whee
ler Hall, and bis humble chorister
sweetheart, Mrs. Eleanor Mills, in a
love tryst.
But it is unlikely that Jane Gib
son ever will know of the proud
clergyman's wife forgivness. For
Jane Gibson had lost consciousness
when the wire of forgivness reached
Jersey City hospital tonight. And
physicians did not expect her to re
cover consciousness. They said her
death from cancer is merely a mat
ter of hours. Even if she had re
ceived the message tonight, it is
doubtful that the "pig woman" would
have sent an answer to the quiet, ex
pensive room in the -New York hos
pital where Mrs. Hall is recovering
from an operation for the same dis
ease. World-Herald.
URGES UNI CO-OPERATION
Omaha Co-operation of sororities
with university authorities in pro
moting more wholesome campus ac
tivities and in building for better
citizenship was advocated Monday by
Mrs. Elizabeth Heywood Wyman of
Glen Ridge, N. J., national president
of Alpha Omicron Pi, who is guest
of the Omaha alumni chapter.
"Closely united groups of girls,
such as sororities, provide definite
organizations thru which the uni
versities can work," she asserted.
"They get results where appeals to
hundreds of isolated girls might
prove fruitless."
Mrs. Wyman plans to visit the
Alpha Omicron Pi chapter at Lin
