Btrongheart had been in failing health for several years. Three months ago the veteran ca nine actor underwent an operatdon. but this faiied to bring the hoped for relief and the dog steadily de clined In health. From the battlefields of the world war came Stronghe&rt, to win for himself In some measure, the affec tion of the followers of the then si lent screen, that had been given him by battle victims during his Red Cross service. The dog had received his preliminary training In the kennels of the Benin ponce. Miss Murfin. playwright and sce narist of note. broLeht the animal here and introduced him in the movies.

The boy told them that his father wanted the space that the car occupied for a garden and that they could have the family bus for thirty cents. This looked like a bar gain to the two unidentified men who stripped the car and later haul ed it away. Police are working on tlie case.

P A cross section of the traits which build executive leadership, taken direct frcm American industry, was pre sented before the national associa tion of office managers at its meet ins here. The report was from Dr. Donald A. Laird, director of Colgate univer sity psychological laboratory. He was assisted in the studies by E. S. Copeland, W. L. Webb and Everett Holt. The findings summarize qualifi cations of "strong" men, marked by their superiors for more pay and executive leadership responsibility, and "weak' men who just failed to get the job. Dr. Laird said many pet theories were ujxset. Neither type differed essentially in "interest in people," or in "fair play," while "hard work" was not the key to success as be tween the two groups. Self-control under trying conditions also ap peared of small importance, and the "weak" leaders rated slightly the higher in patience. "Outstanding general traits of the executive of strong leadership," said Dr. Laird, "were how he im presses others as having self-confidence, how well he plans and or ganizes routine and subordinates, general business judgment and ag gressiveness, his foresight in anti cipating future developments, his knowledge cf the details of his present job, his willingness to take over responsibility and his ability to carry it out. "This Is rather a different pic ture from one gained from literary sources. It is not human or pleas ing personality qualities that have made the leader. "As a matter of fact practically half of the marked leaders had a noticeable dislike of some of their associates, had a temper, did not know about the home conditions or troubles of people, were argu mentative, and people did not come to them for confidential advice. "The strong leader bragged more. He is a bit more vulgar, is some what likely to interrupt others, than are the weak leaders." l'LIER KILLED Creston. Ia., (A) Paul Ritter, 27, was unable to bring his airplane out of a tailspin Monday and it crashed on a highway, killing him. Flames broke out in the wreckage before Hitter s body could be taken out.

The argument in favor of the elimination is that too many streets that are crossed by north and south traffic have stop signs, with the result that motorists are avoid ing the stop street districts as much as possible and congesting traffic on other streets. At the present time stop signs on State, Court and Center streets at practically all intersections and are scattered about promiscuously at other points In North Salem that are considered by some officials to be dangerous. The planning commission also recommended slow signs on Market street at several intersections east of Capitol. A new ordinance relative to orna mental lighting, mainly for the benefit of the North High street districts where cluster lights are wanted. Is being whipped into shape and will be introduced in the city council in the near future. A form er ordinance was vetoed by Mayor Livesiey as inadequate. 2 TRANSPORT FLIERS SUCCESSFUL FIREMEN Washington (IP) Two transport flyers recently added the role of firemen to their other duties when, riding through the clouds, they no ticed burning dwellings beneath them. One, Richard W. Mickie. was fly ing from Boston to Newark when he noticed a flaming house beneath him. No one below seemed to notice it. so Mackie, swooping low, raced his motor and attracted at tention to the flames. The second pilot. Merle A. Mol- trup, flying between Buffalo and Albany, was atracted by a burning house In the town of Silver Creek, about 35 miles west of Buffalo. He, too, descended with raclne motor. and finally attracting the attention of people in the streets, called their attention to uie naming dwelling. "HOME PARTNERSHIP" NEW MARRIAGE NAME New York.

The process of choosing from four hundred applicants has aroused more interest in Washington than tlie wording of the farm legislation in congress because of the expecta tion that the temper of the board will determine how far the adminis tration is to go. A conservative board would be expected to cllog to the letter of the law while a broadmind ed board might go beyond the loose formula for aiding cooperative mar keting organizations as laid down in the law. Deeply Interested congress men expect Mr. Hoover to choose an open minded board. Those mentioned prominently for posts include Charles Robertson, Los Angeles, close friend and business associate of Mr. Hoover, who may be made chairman, former Secre tary of Agriculture Jardine who ini tiated the legislation; former Gov ernor Samuel McKelvle of Nebras ka, and President Thompson of the American Farm Bureau federation. There is a vigorous contest afoot for the post from the wheat belt. Minnesota, South and North Dakota and Wisconsin having several active candidates. It Is expected the president may yield to the demands of Uie wheat district leaders and select two mem bers of the board from that region. One Is expected to come from the south, to represent cotton, one from the corn region; one to repre sent existing cooperative associa tions and another from the fruit and vegetable areas.

In other words, It is to be the centenary ot the London omnibus, which 100 ears ago began to make it possible for those who object to high rents to ride to the lower rent areas. Three horses drew the first Lon don omnibus, and 33 passengers rode in It between Padding ton (at that time a suburb) and the Bank of England In the center of the city. Omnibuses already were plying the streets of Paris at that time, in fact, it was from Paris that the idea of an omnibus line was brought here by an English coachbuilder.
