Other speakers at Tuesday's ses sion were Federal Judge Arthur F. Ledcrle of Detroit, Mich., and David F. Maxwell of Philadelphia, chairman of the House of Dele gates of the bar association. Lederle said it was the duty of the courts at all times to make records available to reporters and to have the rf cords in such simple form that they could be readily understood. Lederle, speaking of persons who make unfounded charges, said: "In recent years we have all be come conscious of the evils result ing from the publication of un founded charges. This is particu- larly true if the person who makes the charges is protected by govern, mental immunity."

Hiit then he made a tni'v wonderful and surprising dfcoverv! 11c learned, much to his delight and amazement, that the lowest-priced Cadillac would actually cost him Ins than the model of the car he had originally intended to buy. lie discovered, too, that a Cadillac will travel farther on a gallon of gasoline . . . and that its cost ot maintenance and upkeep is actually more modest. And then he found out that a Cadillac traditionally returns a greater share of its original cost at resale than anv other automobile in America. And sn he decided to economi:t and make the move to Cadillac! And what a happy, happy man he is as he takes the keys, slips behind the wheel, and starts off on his first wonderful journey. It's a great personal thrill to sit in the driver's seat here where the world's must distinguished motorists sit and find yourself a subject of admira tion wherever you travel. And, if there is anything as rewarding as owning a Cadillac, it's driving a Cadillac. The car rides so smoothly and quietly and efl'ortlcssly, and holds you in such buoyant comfort, that an hour behind its wheel is an hour of relaxation. In short, a Cadillac makes a man jrel good. It's a lift to his spirit ... a rest lor his body . . and a compliment to his person. Whv not come in and sec for yourself? You'll be welcome at any time. UTILITItSOOMlANr ROSFBURG MOTOR CO.
