Executives of the LaFayette Mo
tors company of Indianapolis, vho
have shown their new car for the
first time at the national shows this
year, have found a very satisfactory
answer to William Shakespeare's
300-year-old tjnery: "What's in a
name?" The name of LaFayette
proved to be a source of inspiration
to them and to all the engineers and
designers who have n-.nntribtned
their skill and talent to the creation 1
oi an automobile that reflects both
the high ideals of the iJluftrions
Frenchman and the fine art of his
period. In designing the LaFayette,
these men not only followed the ac
cepted and roost advanced engineer
ing principles, but studied, as well,
the memoirs of the liberty-loving
marg-uis and the history of the court
of Louis the XVI, with the resnlts
that several refinements and ap
pointments of the car have a historic
conception.
The radiator emblem, for ex
ample, is a cameo of LaFayette,
onyx mounted and framed ia sil
ver, and resembles a priied antique
fashioned by some famous crafts
man back in the eighteenth century.
A thorough and tireless search
through historical museums, private
collections and the literature of La
Fayette' time was made in order

Chinese Deserts Wife
When She Refuses to
Sell Their Baby Boy
Paterson, X. J., March 13. Moth
er love was vindicated in a clash
with pagan custom by a decision of
Chancery Master Robert Hopper in
granting a divorce to Mrs. Anna Lee
Chow, American wife of a Chinese
merchant Mrs. Lee Chow won
the decree when she told of being
deserted on refusing her husband's
request to sell their first-born baby
for $100 in compliance with an an
cient Chinese custom.
"I loved my husband, but I loved
my baby more," she tearfully told
the court "He told me it was the
custom in China to sell the first
born child and that he had found
a buyer for our baby. I just couldn't
do it. and when I refused he left
me"
The masler granted the decree on
grounds of desertion, and in his
findings complimented the woman
on "her mother love." "The en
lightened civilization of America has
no place for the customs of the an
cient races." he added.
Where Battery Care Stops
And Tinkering Begins
One of the bits of advice that
strike the eye of every man who runs
through the numerous articles on
motor care, or who studies an in
struction book is that "Don't
tinker." Nearly all of them leave
the reader in doubt as to just where
proper care leaves off and tinkering
begins.
The Willard Storage Eattery Co.
has service stations equipped to give
adequate assistance to the car own-
er, and this leading manufactarer !
urges owners to take advantage of;
this service to lengthen the life of
the battery.
C D. Peet, sales manager of the
Napoleon Motors company. Tra
verse Gty, Mich, reports that bis:
company, while at the Chicago truck '
show, wrote more than $1.000,000 1
worth of business, and could easily :
