I William Darling Shepherd, a Chicago lawyer, and guardian. of the youth, was accused of inject ing typhoid germs Into McClintock causing bis death.

CHEVROLET SALES EXCEED 1, 300000 The phenomena success regis tered by the Chevrolet six offers ample proof of the power, per formance and smart appearance for which the car was praised when It was first placed on the market at the first of the year. Critics are uniform In the opin ion that the introduction was one of the greatest forward steps in the automotive industry, symbol ising as it does the introduction of a six cylinder- car into the low priced field. Various factors of which the Chevrolet six can rightfully boast such as ease of handling and smooth riding, as well as economy of operation, combined in gaining the public approval for the pro duct.

' Careless Smokers Cause 20 of Fires in Forests Motor Association Reports Figures on Forest Fires; Other .Motor News : C'i ! u toclatlon on authority of a recent dedslon Rinded down by the Su premo Court of Texas. ThJ court has recently render ed a decision to' the effect -that an Insurance company which had a chance to settle a case for less than. Its own liability may be re sponsible for the difference be tween what It would have been settled for and the subsequent verdict, lf-there is a verdict. This was the case of Insurance held by the Showers' Furniture Co. with the American Indemnity Co. against damage caused by the Showers truck. The indemnity was $5,000-110,000. One day the truck struck a child and severely Injured it. Suit was brought against Showers, who notified the American Indemnity Co. to, de fend the suit. Before the case, was tried, the child'j representatives offered to settle for $4,00, which was $1,000 less than the com pany's own liability under Its pol icy. The company refused to set tle, despite the protest of Show ers, who argued that the refusal might let htm in for a loss. Still the company refused and the trial resulted in a verdict against Showers for $14,107.00. This meant that the Insurance company would pay $5000 and Showers would pay $9,107. Had the company accepted the $4,000 settlement It would have saved 11,000 and Showers would have saved $9,107. V : The 'tremendous loss ' suffered the past summer from forest fires makes the following statistical re port recently received by the Ore gon state Motor Association of peculiar Interest: Numerous fires started and burned In Inaccessible areas gain ing great headway before fire fighters could reaeh . them. Of the 389.4498,9(0 aeres of forest land under protection last year, fires burned over a total of 4,4 28,- 500 acres, causing damage esti mated at $8,583,020. Of the 178.855,050 acres of unprotected land, 39.602,810 acres were burn ed over during the year, the dam age being placed at $74,350,600. Careless smokers were respon sible for the largest number of fires on the protected forest land, causing 8.346 fires, or 20.6 per eent of the total. Incendiarism ranked next as a cause of fire, being responsible for 7,276 fires, or 17.9 per cent. Brush burning was reported as the cause of 13.2 per cent of the fires, lightning 9.3 per cent, cap fires 9.1 per cent, railroads 8.9 per cent, lum bering 8.9 per cent and miscel laneous 9.2 per cent. ' The enormous damage caused by fires In the unprotected forest areas, emphasizes the Importance of advancing road development work In those areas. Under present congressional ap propriations for forest roads. It would require 30 years to advance the road building program In our national forests up to the stand ard needed at this time. There fore, the American Automobile Association at the regular session of congress in December will urge an Increase In the forest road ap propriations from $7,500,000 to $12,500,00 annually. An Insurance company Is liable for damages In excess of the In sured amount providing It refuses to settle the claim out of court for less than the Insured amount, states the Oregon State Motor As- CELLI FOUND tersninr VIENNA (AP) A new fig ure has been added to the galaxy of "strong men" who rule Euro pean governments. Jobann Scheber, newly appoint ed chancellor of Austria and long chief of police In Vienna, is one of the most forceful personalities In the Austrian republic. Although police chief, he also has a considerable post-war poli tical record. In 1918, some months before the revolution, he became police head, and on the proclama tion of the -Austrian republic he placed his ferce at the disposal of the new government. By this ac tion he was credited with doing much to Insure a peaceful and bloodless change of regime. While maintaining peace In VI" enna he also supenrlsed the depar ture of the former Imperial family securing their safety. - He became chancellor In 1921, but resigned a year later to as sume charge of the police force again, a post which he held until his recent selection of chancellor. While he was police chief one of the stormiest periods of his car eer took place. That was in 1927, when Vienna was the scene of bloody riots several days. The ri ots finally were quelled, but the police head was severely criticised by the socialists for his alleged harsh measures In restoring or der. The socialist mayor of Vienna charged that Schober was respon sible for the riots because of bis harsh measures and that h e should resign. The police head of fered to resign, but the cabinet would not accept his resignation. One of the greatest difficulties facing the new chancellor Is the problem of holding the balance be tween the Fascist heimwehr and the socialist schutbund, hostile seml-mllitary organizations in Austria which have clashed more than once. Among . the first statements made before the national council by the new chancellor was the de claration that the government was quite capable of handling any sit uation that might arise in connec tion with this rivalry. Threatened clashes between the heimwehr and the schutbund had led to difficulties for the previous government of Dr. Ernst Streeru witx, and the advent of Schober Is looked upon as offering the best means of holding extremists on both sides in check. Chancellor Schober la 55 years old. IfJBEDILG COR IS FOUHD SUCCESS . . NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) Crossing com according to pedi gree with as firm a family back ing as a Holstdn bull. Is the new method by which science has pro-, dneed fur bigger yields than any ot the past. - . Dr. Donald F. Jones Is 'the sci entist who has worked out Ih his laboratory at the Connecticut agri cultural experimental station, a system of Inbreeding, crossing and double crossing that produces giant corn stalks whose yield Is great. . - Crossed corn Is the offspring of Inbred plants. Dr. Jones explains. Corn possesses both elements nec essary to self fertilization and plants have been bred to them selves in artificial matlngs year after year. This was accomplished by the use of ordinary paper bags which guard the flowers. The result Is mall spindling corn, unattractive and largely un productive but constituting a pure line that will grow uniformly. They posses great capabilities as a consequence and through crossing these inbred strains, a giant stalk rich and sturdy is produced. Inbreeding ferrets out charac teristics that Dr. Jones wants in his crossed corn. He grows hund reds ot Inbred strains, combines them in every possible direction and from them selects four or five for long experimentation. He employs the -double-cross, his own Invention, which is a cross of crosses, to get enough grain for seed. Inbred strains yield to little. Double-crossed Burr Teaming, which was evolved by this meth od produces a sixth more grain than the next highest yielding variety In Connecticut. Dr. Jones' Red green sweet corn In one In stance was harvested tor six tons of ears to the acre, where Ever green corn, an old standard varie ty, yielded three and one-half.
