SLEEPER BUSSES ST Overshadowing in Importance ev ery motor bus development of re cent years is the placing In service by the Pickwick Hinges system of the firBt sleeper busses in operation Jn this country west of Cleveland, Oliio, and the only sleeping coaches Jn the world with convertible berth seats. -' Nightly two-way sleeper bus ser vice was inaugurated by Pickwick Wednesday, June 2f, when the first of a fleet of similar coaches Hear ing completion in the Pickwick shops in oLs Angeles was christen ed at firant Central Air Terminal, (Jlemlale, Cal., set forth on Its maid on trip to San Kranelsco. The Nlte Coaches, official name of the Pickwick ftluepr-r luaoa, leave Los Angeles and Han Francisco daily at p. ni., arriving at their des -UIL rWELLERS in big cities go from one mystery to another these days. Crimes ars committed, men and women are kilted in apparently the most open fashion and frequently that is the last heard of it. Of course, there is an investi gation there is always that. Then, after the customery seven days allotted to wonders, the whole thing drops out of sight. ' But not so with the Skyscraper Murder, Here is one that was run to earth and in the process the delvers into the mystery are given plenty of thrills. Mr. Spewack is a master hand at depicting situations of this sort. Obviously the story is fiction but perhaps there will be those who can see in it a marked resemblance to actuality. There is a thrill a day in the Skyscraper Murder, WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Philip Edison is host at a night club party to his jiist-recently-dl-vorced wife and - Oliver Sewell, sportsman and Don Juan. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER H "Frankly," Sewell, studying the young man from hnlMidded eyes, was saying, "I can't understand why you suggested this party." "No? Why not?" The young man tried to fimile easily. His former wife lit another cigarette" nervous ly with the stub of her hut. "Well," replied Sewell, "t un derstood you wanted to celebrate. And if you'll pardon my saying so you don't seem to bo In a mood to colebrate. You look positively mournrul." There was a sting of malice In Sewell's tone. But If the young man felt resentful he hid It successfully. Ills voice was even. "Sorry," he apologized. "Let's have some more fizz. Waiter!" Another bucket was shipped hurriedly down to the table, the cork waB sprung, and glasses filled, The young man lifted his glass. "Hero's to the happy couple," lie proposed. The -three drank, looking at each other furtively. "Hy the way," young Edison re marked, setting his . glass down carefully, "he sure and save me a piece of the wedding cake." "Eh?" grunted Howell. "Why!" exclaimed the young man. "Thore's going to be a wed ding, isn't there?" . The woman's cigarette shook in her flngors. Sewell, obviously play ing for time, lifted bis glass and Hi ran k copiously. What wns in the young fool s head? Of course, there wouldn't he a wedding. There had never been nny thought of one. He smiled, as If regretfully. "You know very well,' and the gray eyes looked straight at ihe youug man, my wife won't give me my freedom." "No; I didn't know that," said the young man. "Phil," reproved the young wo man, "youre showing vary bad taste." "Sorry!" the young man protest ed. "You'see, 1 thought our divorce was arranged to help you marry our friend here." The young woman's eyes blazed With sudden anger. "What are you up to?" she de manded, "What business la it of yours what I do?" "Only a friendly Interest," Iho young man reassured her with a careless wave of the hand. "Is that nil?" sho sneered. "Yes." "Very veil, then I can do with out your friendly interest." "Sorry!" There was a moment's silence. The young woman looked away from her companions. There was stupid rage In her eyes, "You see," explained tho young man finally, "I assumed (hat what ever else my wife might do, she would at least marry the man she lovedloved enough to chuck her husband." The young woman turned on him and half rose In her anger. "Did ytnt invito me here to mix Into my affairs?" she demandrd. "If you didt I want to leave right now." "Do sit down, Laura," command ed Sewell, and then to tho young man, ho said; "Now look here. We've been civil I Red about this business." "Very," affirmed the young man. "If there's anything on your mind. peak up!" "Why," the young man hesitat ed, "you see I though we wore go ing to colebrate our little divorce and Jnaugurate your little wedding But since there seems to be an ob stacle -to the second part of the programme, let's let's have t drink!" Lucy's voice boomed suddenly and the three automatically turned to look at the florid hostess who was leading forward an ambitious chorus girl who augmented her income by specialty dancing at the cluh. The band drummer let loose a monstrous screeching and rum tinations at 9:00 a. m. With accommodations for 28 pas sengers ,for day and night travel and completely equipped kitchen and larder for serving hot or cold meals, the palatial 1!2U -model Pickwick NIte Coaches are attract ing the attention of transportation era! public wherever they appear, Ing of great interest to the gen experts the world over and are prov it was slated by Charles F.

Everyone cave the little girl a hand and loudest in applause was the young man. He seemed enrap tured with tho girl's performance and demnnded an encore. Sewell, still studying him, was puzzled. He had been Inclined to underrate him. He was not as mean an opponent as he had thought. Hut try as he would he could not guess what was revolv ing the young man's mind. He could not fathom his motive. When the girl was done he venlured: "Think a lot of that lrl. don't you?" "I think she s grand!" enthused Edison, filling his glass. "Grand! He a star In a musical comedy or I mhs my bet. T give her two years." "Know her?" . "No." "Want to know her?" "No." ' Neither was Interested in the girl. But they continued to Rpar. Finally Sewell decided hp would leave the two young people togeth er. Perhaps Mrs. Edison could ex tract, some Information from her husband. So Sewell plended he must greet some friends In a far off corner. When he was gone, however, the Iwo young people remained silent. Mrs. Sewell didn't quite know how to begin. She wns essentially vapid and emotional, and In any given erifds, helpless. Finally she cho3e the most obvious course. "Phil " she demanded sudden ly. "Yes." "Phil do you still love me?" y "No," said tho young man, look ing at her blandly. His former wife bit her uuderlip in vexation. Tho answer was not flattering. "Then what Is It?" , "What?" "Oh you know very well!" A flush of anger conquered a master ly rouge. "Why did you ask him If we were going to be married? You know very well he can't marry me." "Hut T didn't, I assure yon. I didn't know," he protested. "Mrs. Sewell has been kept In tho back ground for many years. 1 always thought Sewell was a bachelor. He lives nlone." "Well, why do you want me to marry him?" "Isn't it obvious? I HtlU have a few conventions left.

POWELL FURNITURE STORE Phone 538 SHIPPING AUIOS S J BIG TUSK KENOSHA, W in., July 8. When the greatest of all transportation mediums the automobile itself requires transportation, the pro cess used In protecting cars for shipment is one of the most inter esting and elaborate systems de veloped by the motor industry. More than one and one-half mil lion feet of lumber are used each month In the huge overseas ship ping building In Kenosha where the Nash Motor company has evolved one of the most efficient and painstaking systems of pro tecting cars for export known in modern shipping. Some sixty trained men send the cars along the progressive asHemhly which boxes them so perfectly that neither rough handling at seaboard, open roadside unloading, nor extraordi nary conditions sometimes on- had left his voice, and repressed hltternesB made the young man's voice tremble slightly. Put the young woman smiled. "You know I don't give a damn what anybody says, . . ." she an nounced defiantly. "If I did. I wouldn't do a lot of things I do." "Perhaps," he suggested slowly. "It would have been better for all concerned If you hadn't " "I'm the best judge of that. I don't want to marry anybody. I'm going to live as I please , . . and you or anyone else won't stop me." "But I haven't any desire to," the young man assured her. "Oh!" she sent her cigarette snutterlng into the champagne glass In anger. "Why don't you come out with it? You had a reas on for inviting us here. You had a very good reason. If I'm not the reason, who Is?" But the young man shook his hend and smiled. "I'm not as deep as all that, Lnurn.'Mie protested. "Not half as deep. I came here to be a good sport. T want to lend you a friendly hand. Can't? Let's have a drink. Waiter! Another bottle, and an other glass for the lady. Shouldn't put cigarettes in champagne glasses, Laura!" ! He affected to reprimand her in drunken good humor. Sewell came back, and looked at the young womnn. But she shook her head slightly. Then she rose suddenly. "I'm tired." she said. "I want to go home." She looked at Sewell. Both men had risen. "By all means." suggested the: young man. "It isn't very amusing here tonight." They moved to the coat room. The resnlendently uniformed door man balled a taxi. Sewell and Mrs. Edison stepped Into it, while tlve young man removed his hat with a flourish and bowed. "Sorry our party wasn't more of a success." the young man regret ted. Sewell and his companion nod ded curtly. The young man hailed another cab. "Follow that taxi," he com manded crisply. "There's twenty dollars In It for you." He leaned back against the cushions. His face was sombre now and thoughtful. He lit a cigarette, exhaled slowly and then drummed with his fingers against the win dow. Then he fthrew his cigarette away and closed his eyes. His head ached. The champagne had had no effect, but. the strain of the evening was beginning to tell. Sewell's taxi stopped at Laura's hotel. The young man's taxi stopped, too. Tie could see Sewell escorting Laura to the door. Sewell was flaying good-night. Then he kissed Lnurn and she disappeared from sight. Sewell returned to his taxi. "Keep right on." Edison in formed his driver. Both taxis start ed out again. But as they proceeded up Broad way Sewell's taxi shot forward. The red traffic licht halted the pursuing calf.

The export cars, bound for points on all the seven seas, are bo well housed that their packing cases are often used for garages and houses in lands where -good lumber is scarce, and the travelers in far countries are apt to see the famous Nash nameplate emblaz oned on desert huts and seaside cabins In some of the world's most out-of-the-way places. The precision workmanship and quality manufacturing which marks every step in Nash produc tion is thoroughly carried out in this exoort boxing process. At the start of the 160-foot boxing assem bly line the cars for export are washed and sprayed with a non corrosive mixture to protect metal parts. Then, after removing the wheels, the car Is lifted by elec tric hoist to the heavily reinforced floor of the specially prepared ex port box. which rests on the roll ers of boxing production line. It is solidly bolted and clamped to the floor, its Interior covered, and a second oil bath administered. The sturdv frame work of the Nash ex port box, replete with three-way joints, is then apnlted to prevent anv side sway, and snug Bides and ends are nailed to the wood frame. The heavy top Is then nailed on and the cap of water-proof paper Is added for further protection against the elements. Two screened vents are cut in each end of the box to afford air circula tion, and the Nash trademark, to gether with the cars destination, Is stenciled. The boxed car Is then lifted by an overhead crane and firmly anchored ona freight car. lamp flashed, Sewell's taxi had dis appeared. Two-thlrty-fonr East. Drive like hell!" snapped Edison at his driver. The chauffeur, seeking a chance of recuptng the promised twenty dollars, evaded traffic lightB where he could. Finally he drew up in front of an imposing twenty-six-story apartment house, one of the newest and most exclusive, where the demeanor of the flunkies and the rents were both regal. Sewell lived on the topmost story. Edison dismissed his taxi and stepped forward. An attendant swung open the bronze doors as If they were castle gates. Edison strode over to the switchboard. "Mr. Sewell's apartment," he said. "He's not at home, sir." "Oh. hasn't he come back yet? I have an appointment with him." "No, sir. Mr. Sewell hasn t come baek yet, sir." "Then I'll wait."

SONNENBERG BEATS STRANGLER LEWIS IN 3-FALL MATCH CAwwcIatH Pre Leawvl Wire) BOSTON, July 10. Gus Sonnen berg took In another notch today In the diamond champion's belt, after turning back the challenge of Ed "Strangler" Lewis, from whom he wrested the champion ship six months ago.

The former Dartmouth football player suffered the first fall of his eighteen months' mat career last night bnt came back with the fam ous flying tackle he borrowed from the gridiron to flatten Lewis twice in 22 minutes. Lewis successfully avoided Son nenberg's butting charges at the start. With 17 minutes gone he jumped aside from one of the champion s charges bo neatly mat Sonnenberg nose-dived to the mat. The 'Strangler" jumped on him and obtained a breast lock for the first fall. Sonnenberg cameimck fighting mad but almost lost the match sev eral times when Lewis clamped a headlock on him. Finally, however he butted successfully to take the second fall in 19 minutes.' The de ciding fall came three minutes lat er after Lewis had knocked Son nenberg out of the ring.

Bronte, manager avia tion department of the Associated Oil company, left Lob Angeles last Monday morning. June 24, and eleven hours and forty-five minutes later was at Boeing Field, Seattle. Stops along the line were made at Oakland, Heading and Portland for fuel. Average speed for the trip was 94.4 miles per hour and according to S. A. Rtimson, traffic manager of Boeing Transport. Inc.. this is the first commercial through flight between the two cities. The trip was made for two reas ons: first, to further test the su perb Qualities of Associated Avia tion gasoline and Cycol Aero oil; and secondlv, to keep an appoint ment with Boeing officials In Se attle, manufacturers of the big Boeing biplane that made the flight. The ship, powered by a 425 h. p.

VEEOOL MOTOR OIL , IS LIKED BY FLIER The prominence which Veedol plays and the regard In which it is held as a lubricant for airplane engines is reflected in a statement made recently by Colonel Art Goe- bel. famous aviator; "I have proved Veedol motor oil in airplanes in ail kinds ot weatn er, on- all kinds of flights stunt, endurance, long -distance. I use nothing else In my planes or cars I'm satisfied." Veedol, with its heavier body, longer life, and super heat reslst- ence, is regularly being used not only by Goebel, but also by many others of the greatest pilots. In cluding Byrd, Chamberlin, Jensen, Rankin, Amelia Earhart, and scores of others. It is also used in the huge Cerman Graf Zeppe Hn.

For, in the airplane en gine, where efficiency and reliabil ity are imperative, Veedol has been tested and found to embody every desirable feature. The significance to motorists of Veedol's overwhelming success in the air is obvious. If, under the the most exacting conditions to be found even in aviation, Veedol has proven best, how thoroughly fatis factory must it be in the lest ex acting automobile engine. But Q& acting or not, the automobile en gine gets the same superlative s r vice from Veedol as does the air plane.

Also, summer is the time for long vacation trips that put a . heavy strain on your engine. You'll save yourself trouble if you choose an oil for your motor that resists heat and that forms nn carim even when burned. "There are excellent reasons why summer motorists get such fine service from Shell Motor OH," say chemists of the Shell labora tories. "Unlike even the most ex pensive oil, Shell Motor Oil forms no hard carbon at all. Refined without excessive heat. Shell Mo tor Oil is better prepared than ether oils to stand summer usage. When it is burned, the earbon that is h?ft is not hard and gritty, but merely a unit, son whifh blows rwbv hnrm- lessly through the exhaust .
