Flight Covering M County
Seats is Exploit of
Unusual Value
LOS ANGELES, July Every
reader of popular fiction knos
the -rood old substantial "plot"
of tbe race to file toe "papers."
It has been utilized by authors of
a thousand thrillers. The hero is
about to be defrauded of his little
ranch because there lis - a lega
clause that the mortgage must be
lifted at the county seat by a cer
tain hour. The Tllllan, of course,
seeks to stop the filing. Bat the
; hero--always horseback gallops
through death traps, t hrough
! burned bridges, past gangs of
waylayers, etc., and draws rein
just In time to prevent the fore
closure. This fictlonary trick of the
writers had a recent real counter
part la modern business life In
California when the Richfield Oil
airplanes and lour high-powered
company utilized three speedy
motor cars to file the "papers"
within-a single day in 44 differ
ent county seats.
' The hero in this case was the
Richfield company; the planes and
cars were the trusted steeds; the
rillian was Father Time. For, had
ordinary mail transportation been
qsed to file counterparts of a bond
Indenture coverin? a $25,000,000
6-per cent issue, the delay would
haTe cost approximately $40,000
lnJnterest charge?.
Hard Battle Won
; As it was, with planes and cars
rushing th epapers over the state
as EOonaf they were received
from the Printers at 4 o'clock in
the morning, by 8:15 o'clock that
same night, telegraphic advice
from the last of the 4 4 counties
was In the hands of President C.
M. Fuller at Los Angeles, show
ing that jthe monumental time
battle had been accomplished
scheming old Father Timo was
, thwarted . . . The curtain dropped
on a happy ending of a 1929
model transportation drama.
Making the event even more
dramatic and colorful was the
Ifact that, on some of the plane
routes, airports were not avail
able near county seats. Thero the
papers, enclosed in aluminum
tubes, were dropped by parachute
at points arranged for by long
distance telephone.
None other than Richfield regu
lar employes, and nothing but
Richfield owned and operated
equipment, was used.
"This has proved, more than
value of company-owned airplanes
any 'other previous thing, the high
for corporation use," was the com
ment of President Fuller of Richfield.

Doe and Two Fawns Seen on
Road Near MolallaiEn
list Ejaculations
"If I had only possessed a cam
era!" Such was the lament of a
famous doctor who made a trip
Into the Molalla river country
last week while atending the
meeting of the American Medi
cal association and had the thrill
of seeing deer In the open.
"My host and I were driving
along a mountain road when
three deer walked out not 20
yards in advance of the car," said
the doctor. "There were a doe
and two small fawns. The little
ones seemed unconcerned and
were in no hurry to make a de
parture to safe territory. Not so
with the mother, however;, she
faced the car, jumped up in the
air "several times and at last con
vinced the youngsters that the
brush, was the place for them. She
waited until they had leaped ont
of sight, and then two bounds
ahd she was gone. I- would en
Joy having pictures of that scene
to convince some easterners that
all deer are not cinfined to parks
and zoos."

Warning is Given
Against Making
"Suicide Turn"
The harsh title of "taking the
suicide cut, has been given to
the practice of driving around the
left side of a street car. according
to reports to the public safety de
partment of the Oregon State
Moor association. Not only has
this practice become notorious for.
its danger, but It la also in viola
tion to the Oregon vehicle act, ft
is pointed out.
The' short gain In time that
might be effected by the "suicide
cut": Is often lost In court or the
hospital, and at best a half min
ute aded sped has no material ef
fect npon flrlvtof time. Motor
ists are advised, upon the basis of
many tragic records filed with the
Oregon State Motor association on
own traffic lanes. Safe driving
public safety, to keep In their
and the-quickest possible time for
reaching your destination with the
least habard will result from so
doing.

Of Love Is
ReaiThmg
CHICAGO CAP) Courtship
is highly involved among the tri
lingual Caribs in British Hondur
as, and love has a special tongue,
reports J. Eric Thompson, ar
the Field Museum star, recently
returned from Honduras.
"Carib men have one language
which they speak to one another,"
says Thompson. "Carib women
have a second for conversation
among themselves. And there is
a third tongue used in conversa
tion between the sexes. The dis
tinction Is basic, not merely the
difference between words white
men sometimes use in the smok
ing room as compared to those
used before ladles."
Thus the smitten Carib must
know two languages if he means
to woo, and a third if he would
hear what his girl tells her moth
er about him.
The second quarter's total pro
duction was 29,214 cars, surpass
ing the previous high record of
26,741, made in the third quarter
of last yesr.
For the first half of 1929, the
production total is 51,493 cars, a
gain of 15,759, more than 40 per
cent, over the first six months of
last year. Monthly production
thus has averaged over 9000 cars,
the 50,000th 1929 model was
built June 7. . .
GRAHAM PAIGE HAS
RECORD PRODUCTION
Graham-Paige set a new' quar
terly production record in the
three months ending June 30, and
also completed the first six months
of 1929 with a total exceeding
any previous half year. In addi
tion, the overseas and Canadian
shipments for six months not only
set new records, but even etceed
cd the totals for all twelve months
of last year.

Gllda Gray, who has won fame

tion for the quiet, smoothness of
the new Viking, 90 degree, V-type
eight "cylinder automobile.
"It's a real thrill to drive the
new Viking," says Gilda. "After
a strenuous performance it is a
treat to take the wheel of a car
that is so restful to drive. Not an
effort is required something
which any car owner can appre

j Many factors enter into making
the Viking a' smooth, quiet and
easily handled car, according to
the Oldsmobile-Viking engineers
who designed this new General
Motors product.
The new 90 degree V-type eight
cylinder engine contributes ma

JAMESTOWN ISLAND, Va
(AP) The whereabouts of tire
"first permanent English settle
ment in America" is proving a
puzzle to some astounded tour,
ists who have visited this historic
island.
Leters have been written to
Virginia authorities and to news
papers expressiug disappointment
that no flourishing village and no
descendants of Capt. John Smith
are to be found here on the wave
washed banks of the James riv
er. Why Is Jamestown known as
the first permanent English set
tlement in America, if it wasn't
permanent? the tourists ask.
The answer is that the colony
was permanent even though
Jamestown was abandoned and
descendants of the early band
still live in the Old Dominion. In
fact the descendants appear to be
as numerous as descendants of
those immortals who found pas
sage on that giant ocean liner of
colonial days, the Mayflower, that
sailed from European shores to
Plymouth Rock some years later.
