Dear Friend: I receive the Blade quite often and you don't know how glad I am to learn the news from dear old Madison. We are now loca- ced near Verdun, not very far from Germany, and we expect to come home soon. Some of our company will go on a 7 or 10 day pass "GADFLY" ON BLADE'S STAFF Distinguished Eastern Artist To Draw Cartoons For Wisconsin's Progressive Weekly. A. E. The Wisconsin Weekly Blade is a journal with a mission. It strives to inform as best it may within the limits of its capacity its nearly ten thousand readers of the weekly happenings of interest to them. It aims to foster and create in Wisconsin more particularly, and in the country generally, a healthier and more equitable public opinion on questions peculiarly affecting the colored people. To do this it purposes to employ not only the facile pen of able writers, but every other species of skill known to journalism. It is, therefore, with no small degree of pride that we announce the engagement of "Gadfly," the distinguished eastern artist and lecturer, who will furnish exclusive cartoons of current events and topics for this paper. "Gadfly," Mr. G. Luther Sadgwar, is not so well known in these parts, but in that neck of the woods of which he is indigenous, he is as well known as the Potomac itself and no Mr. J. A. Josey.

The mayor and chief of police, also two newspaper men of our white brethren were present a total of 4 to greet the boys that fought for Democracy. Bro. Tom Watson has done his hit to our heroes as they return from overseas. He is the proprietor of Barber Shop & Billiard Parlor at Colored Soldiers club, 215 Wyman St. Quite recently he and his better half has given several surprise parties for the soldiers.

NEVADA DRAWS COLOR LINE CARSON CITY, NEV.—Notwithstanding more than 300,000 Americans of African descent have for the years past, been defending this country, of which Nevada is a small part, against the atrocities of white men, Nevada has by a vote of 2 to 1 amended the prize fight law so to prevent a white man from engaging in a contest with a colored man.

COLORADO SOLDIERS. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The south will face a serious shortage in agricultural labor during the coming season, according to present indications, according to officials of the federal employment service. The reason for this shortage is that a majority of the negroes who shouldered a gun are refusing to go back to the cotton fields. The lure of higher wages in the northern industrial centers is attracting them although there is an oversupply of labor in these places. Many others came north because of the high wages paid for war work SEARS ROEBUCK SHOW COUR TESY At the home coming of the 370th Inf. or the old 8th Ill., Sears Roe buck & Co. gave to their colored employees a holiday from 11:00 a.m. with full pay. This was indeed an act of gratification, the like of which has never been done by similar concerns. This company employs upward of 200 race men and women. Boys Of The 365 Th WM. R. CARMICHEAL AST. LIEUT. CHAS. H. FEARING # THE PECULIAR MISSION OF THE NEGRO JOURNAL The Negro journal shoulders graver responsibility than any other so-called or class journal in the country; first of all, it is impossible for this peculiarly classed journal to cope in volume with other journals; for the average Negro journal is launched on faith, while others are launched on finance. Hence, the popular question asked by its readers is, "why can't we have a newspaper like other folk—as a rule the persons who ask this question would not spend two dollars per year on a Race paper, but borrow their neighbor's long enough to pick flaws—they complain about the type not setting straight up or some person's name being misspelled or the diction or rhetoric not according to the best authority. As a rule they close their critical remarks in the language of a disgruntled deacon by stating that those folks just won't do—now, that's all. However, the Negro journal, humble as it is today is the only outstanding champion of the Race. Its mission is far-reaching. Not only does it make sentiment for better conditions among its own people, but reaches out now and then and turns a white enemy into a black man's friend. The peculiar problems that confront the Neiro people in this country today affecting their peace, prosperity and happiness, as a rule, go unnoticed by the majority of the big dailies. Ye knockers of any Race enterprise, bury your hatchets and get in the big booster's band wagon, in order that when the big bear, Prejudice, shall have been killed in this country—you can truly say, "See what we did!"—Sacramenta Review.

ROCKFORD, ILL. The Colored Soldiers' Club is be- coming more and more the Mecca for the colored people of Rockford. It is indeed a haven of rest for the colored soldiers and their friends. Sunday afternoon Dr. Grant intro- duced two forceful speakers, Rev Brayboy, Kokomo, Ind., a Civil War Veteran, and Capt. Hall of Chicago Ill., 370th Inf., a veteran of the World War. Rev. Brayboy said: "I belonged to the 28th Ind. Inf., and was one of the guards that guarded Abramah Lincoln, at Washington Boys. I love you, I am proud of you Stend by old glory. Prepare your- selves for the work before you. Keep yourselves on a moral basis then demand your rights, and no matter where you may be you can get in and put your foot on the truth." Capt. Hall, wearing a distinguishe- ed service cross with a silver star citation for extraordinary heroism given him by French government, in a forceful, unassum-*g* manner, gave a general description of the stay of the regiment in France. History of regiment. A number of men organiz- ized the 9th Battalion Nov. 4, 1885 this battalion was mustered into the National Guard Aug. 3, 1917; were mustered into service, the 370th Inf. Col.

Detachment Contain- Madison Men Will Parade Around Square The Capital Times Madison will have a chance to see the boys of the 356th infantry (reg- gro) who are just returning from overseas, on March 10 or 11, secon- ding to a telegram received late the morning by J. Anthony Josey, editor of the Wisconsin Blade. A detachment of 900 men will leave Camp Upton March 8. B. Camp Grant and will stop at Chicago and Madison. The troops will parade around the square and plan are now under way for a reception by the Red Cross.

My Dear Mr. Josey: I have been absent from the city on official business which accounts for this delay in answering your letter of recent date relative to having Hdqs. Co. and Co. "F" 385th Infantry permitted to stop in Madison enroute to Camp Grant. Immediately upon my return to the city, I took up this matter with the office of the Chief of Staff, and an official memorandum just received I am informed, "1. Arrangements already made to have that part of 385th Infantry which is assigned to Camp Grant, Ill., stop in Chicago. Madison, Wisconsin, will also be included. 2. The 385th Infantry enroute to Camp Grant consists of men from Illinois and Wisconsin, and it is impracticable to route via Cincinnati. Policy of War Department is to let home people see their own troops in parade." "The policy of the War Department which is applied as a general rule, is to separate at the port of debarkation detachments belonging in other parts of the country than the bulk of the regiment and to send such detachments directly to their own states. The bulk of the regiment is then assigned to the Camp in the state from which it comes. "The part of the regiment which usually contains the band is used for parade purposes. "It is not practicable to arrange parades for small detachments which travel on ordinary commercial trains due to the delay involved." Winning to assure you of my entire willingness to serve at any time in any matter in which you or the other good citizens of Madison, Wisconsin, are interested, 1 am. Sincerely yours, Emmet J. Scott, Special Assistant to Secretary of War. Rooms 144-146. Entered at the postoffice at Madison, Wis., as second-class matter. J. ANTHONY JOSEY } Editors. GEO. H.

THE LYNCHING Hark the roar of rushing feet, Sounding through a Southern street! Voices harsh and shrill arise, And the fearful glaring eyes, Half illumed by glaring torch Centr'ing round a prison-porch Tell again the tale of shame Which doth sear one like a flame. Just within the sheriff stands, And he holds within his hands More than keys to prison bars,— Liberty, the Stars and Stripes, Justice, Law, and Order, clasped,— Soon to be rudely grasped By the blood-red hand of Guilt, Stabbing Honor to the hilt. Hear the loud resounding blows, Hear the sounds which chaos knows— Diabolic cries and shrieks When the time of doom bespeaks For the wight within his cell,— For the souls of them as well, Who, destroying Justice's darts, Find her barbs have pierced their hearts. Faithful steel and 'during stone Have collapsed. With Awful groan Swings the door ajar. O God, Should'st withhold Thy chast'ning rod, Scathless go. For human law Prostrate lies. Let Justice draw Vengefully her damning steel, Giving Hate what victims feel! Desperate, opposing Fate. Pleads the victim. Murd'rous hate Walls him in and sears his soul Into silence; breaks the whole Chord of being, and he sees, As he grovels on his knees, Demons reeking in their den. There before he thought but men.

The mere suggestion of a busybody can undo the work of a lifetime. To "know thyself," the old Greek admonition, is a pre-requisite to a knowledge of others. "It is never to late to do good," but good that is done too late is good for nothing. No man can wear the uniform of a soldier six months without getting a better grasp of himself. Now that our boys are returning from overseas we are learning that not only the "Constitution follows the Flag," but many American institutions and customs as well. Some day colored people will awaken to the fact that every one of their number who reaches a position of prominence in the community is a help to every other one. Struggle for a place "in the sun." We do not regret the close of the war and the consequent return of peace, but if the war had continued a year or two longer. Americans of African descent would have won for themselves a place that no Nego hater could take away. Funny, how, in spite of his handicaps, the Negro does do things worthy of recognition. According to Major Barratt O'Hara, an authority on the history of pugilism, "the first American to win distinction in the prize ring" was a Negro, Bill Richmond, the son of a slave.

UNFAVORABLE SENIOR Bandits Given Long Workhouse My hours after they had held a saloonkeeper, at 274 Gate in his place of business, the bandits had begun to serve long terms. Mr Hood, Lee Jordan and we were arrested Sunday night Jacob Laubenheimer, Sir William McKenney and I Hood, the gunman, was sitting in municipal court to fight another two two to three years, was held up at 2 o'clock while in possession of $1,000 through a side door and ramming for help. The negro going illustrates the manners, unconsciously we hope, against the Negro. There can be reason, except to identify the waymen, for designating the BANDITS." And having details, could easily have been the reading matter. Had the man of their race and "the robe accurately described the constant iteration and reiteration in every newspaper committed by colored men can mimics minds of readers, whatever pose. It is the law of the law as inflexible as the laws ofans. newspapers that do this are too colored people. Many of them espoused their cause in no way. They simply follow a pretense in vogue when speaking. But it is unkind, unfair, to ask if you will not lift them down—just stand back. At Cadiz, which is in the State of Kentucky, noted for its beautiful women, fast horses and—otherwise, there will be observed next week the anniversaries of three events worthy of note—the 67th birthday of Rev. W. H. McRidley, the 36th year of his pastorate of 2nd Baptist Church and the 1½th year of the founding of the Cadiz Informer, of which he is editor. The Blade takes this occasion to felicitate our brother scribe upon these happy events. It goes without saying that you have faithfully performed the tasks assigned you. May you continue for years to come to wield an influence for good in the community in which you have been such a large part. Congratulations to you, your Church and our esteemed contemporary. CREATING UNFAVORABLE SENTIMENT Thirty hours after they had held up Uros Sijan, a saloonkeeper, at 274 Greenfield avenue, in his place of business, three negro bandits had begun to serve long workhouse terms. Arthur Hood, Lee Jordan and Joseph Goldwire were arrested Sunday night by Detectives Jacob Laubenheimer, Harry, Ridenour, William McKenney and Arthur Burns. Hood, the gunman, was sentenced on Monday in municipal court to five years and the other two to three years each. Sijan was held up at 2 o'clock Sunday morning while in possession of $1,000. He leaped through a side door and ran into the street yelling for help. The negroes fled. The foregoing illustrates the manner in which newspapers, unconsciously we hope, create sentiment against the Negro. There could be no particular reason, except to identify the race of the highwaymen, for designating the culprits "NEGRO BANDITS." And having done so in large capitals, could easily have been dispensed with in the reading matter. Had the crime been committed by white men there would have been no mention of their race and "the robbers fled" would have accurately described the flight. This constant iteration and reiteration of the term Negro in every newspaper account of crimes committed by colored men cannot fail to poison the minds of readers, whatever else may be its purpose. It is the law of the association of ideas—as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and Persians. The newspapers that do this are not all unfriendly to colored people. Many of them have editorially espoused their cause in no uncertain language. They simply follow a practice that has long been in vogue when speaking of a colored person. But it is unkind, unfair, unjust to a people who ask if you will not lift them up, not to push them down—just stand back and see them rise. THE COLORED TROOPS are many things that the pe ates should not forget. On the colored man is ever a beginings of colored troop.

One of them is that the colored man is ever a dependable soldier. Many regiments of colored troops went to France. Most of them had an opportunity to be tested in the trenches and in great battles. Not a failure on their part has been recorded. On the contrary, they are credited with a courage, enthusiasm and conduct in battle that places them in the foremost rank among fighting men of all armies. Colored men in the civil war fought bravely. In the Spanish-American war and the Philippine insurrection none were better for bravery. These are facts to remember, not for a day but for centuries. Let us hope that after this great world war in which our many thousands of colored soldiers proved themselves to be of the highest type of disciplined men and brave fighters, that both north and south there will grow up a determination to see that the colored man receives the rights that he is entitled to under the laws. In this connection it is interesting to state that two great cities in America, New York and Chicago, received each one a regiment of colored soldiers on Monday. The regiment received in New York was 2,500 strong. It paraded on Fifth avenue in the presence of hundreds of thousands of people and had a tremendous ovation. Chicago's famous Eighth regiment, colored, which became the Three Hundred Seventieth infantry in France, was received with equal enthusiasm. From all sides came reports that the American soldiers in France were in the van of fighting men of the great armies there assembled. It was American soldiers who first checked the onward march of the enemy when he was within forty miles of Paris. It was the American soldiers who first broke that famous fiddenburg line a short time before the surrender. It was the American soldiers who taught all of the soldiers engaged in France a new way of fighting an enemy, and that new way of fighting hurried peace to the world and the greatest change the world has known, and no soldiers fought more bravely, more intelligently or more enthusiastically than the colored Americans. The Chicago regiment bore sixty-seven Croix de Guerre, twenty-eight distinguished service medals and 250 citations. The New York command contained 171 who wore the Croix de Guerre. It is a splendid record that it would be dastardly in this country to forget—Milwaukee Evening Sentinel.

Coleman, president of the Hair-Vim Chemical Company, whose energy, fidelity to business principles and unifiagging industry have made this institution a brilliant success, delivered a delightful address of welcome to the immense audience which had gathered to witness the crowning event of the school year, and she gave a very graphic story of "The Purpose and Plan of the School." The corporation had itsception eight years ago upon the arrival of Dr. Coleman in Washington, and it has grown by leaps and bounds until today the plant and equipment in the U street emporium is worth not less than $10,000. Her initial capital at the founding of the business was $5.00 and a superabundance of IDLEWILD NOTES Lt. R. B. Teabeau and wife of Keokuk, Ia., are guests of the Idlewild. Beauregard F.

CITE CHICAGO SERGT.. COLORED FOR HIS HEROISM IN ACTION Sergt. Ralph Gibson, colored, 370th Infantry, was cited in an official dispatch from Washington, D.C., today for extraordinary heroism under fire at Beaume, France, Nov. 8, 1918. He is 24 and a son of Mrs. Rose R. Gibson, 4306 Forestville av. He was employed as manager of Wolf's cloak rooms about the city. He enlisted in July, 1917. "Sergt. Gibson, then private, led his platoon across a fire swept zone in the advance of the objective, encouraging his men by his fearless example," reads the official report. "On the same day he was placed in charge of two important reconnoitering patrols, whose mission was to locate enemy machine-gun positions that were known to be in the path of the advance of the company. He accomplished the mission, constantly exposed to enemy fire and brought back important information." Herman Kible, Sauk county youth, was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at the Green Bay reformatory by Judge Stevens for breaking parole. He was found guilty on July 1, 1918, on a charge of forgery and placed under probation of the state board of control. He broke his parole, it is said, and was turned over to the Circuit court for sentence. St. Benedict Settlement 815 Winnebago Street Milwaukee, Wis.

BIBLE STUDENTS HEREMAKEPLEA FOR PRISONERS Handful of Members Battle for their Imprisoned Leaders News that President Wilson had passed the cases of J. F. Rutherford, president of the International Bible Students' association and his colleagues in issuing pardons yesterday to violators of the Espionage act, was received by the little band regret. For months they have been trying, with the members of other branches of the association, located in various parts of the United States, to bring the cases of the religious heads to the President's attention. O. E. Putnam is elder of the Madison group, Mary A. Rogers is secretary and Madeline Clauson is treasurer. There are less than a dozen on the membership roles. These include Mrs. P. Clauson, Mrs. Ida McPadden, Mrs. L. Sale, Mrs. Ida Nordgrem, John Sorenson, Mrs. Ed Draper and Mrs. G. W. Sargent. All have been followers of the stud nts' association since before the death of its founder, Pastor Russell, in the latter part of 1916. All maintain the same stand that the higher officials took when called to account by the government—that the organization is and always has been purely for the study of religion. None Desert Ranks Although the branch here was at one time larger than it is at present, the membership has been depleted by departures from the city rather than by withdrawals due to the government's action in suppressing "The Finished Mystery" the book which caused the conviction of the leaders. In addition to President Rutherford, there are seven other officers of the organization now serving sentences of twenty years each in the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta. They are: W. E. Van Amburgh, A. H. Macmillan, R. J. Martin, F. H. Robison, C. J. Woodworth, George H. Fisher and G. De Cecca. The Madison followers meet four times weekly, Sunday afternoon and evening at G. A. R. hall and on Wednesday and Friday evenings at the homes of the various members. Elder Putnam, who was just recently appointed to the leadership of the group, came here three months ago from Denver and was unable to outline the work that has been done here. Tells of Work Here "Some of us have also taken out the petitions." It is planned to bring lecturers to Madison in the near future to explain the work of the organization and set forth its principles as outlined by its founder, Pastor Charles Taze Russell. COMMITTEE O. K. IMPROVEMENTS WORTH $910,000 City Hall and Community Center Matters Are Considered A new city hall, Girstenbrei plat school, and a high school addition, projects involving an expenditure of $910,000 were considered and recommended for passage by the finance committee of the common council at a meeting last night. The city hall and community building matter, which must go to a referendum vote after it has been passed by a three-fourths vote of the council, will require a bond issue of $500,000. There was no consideration of the site in the meeting last night. Alderman Prien suggested the possibility of separating the buildings by placing the city hall on a small lot on or near the square and erecting the community center a few blocks farther out. Alderman Behrend opposed a vote on the proposition, claiming that the vote might not be representative. Chief discussion arose over the plans to erect a six room building for the seventh ward school. The other six rooms were to be constructed later. Figures were introduced to show the plan to be impractical, plans finally adopted call for the immediate erection of a 12 room building. This will practically vacate the Hawthorne building, which will then be used as the start of a junior high school. Later the Gistenbrei plat school may be used for a high school. For the present it will probably be used for a community center for that part of the city. On recommendation of the school authorities it was decided to build a girl's gymnasium in connection with the vocational annex to the high school. In order to carry out these plans the purchase of 40 to 44 feet of the Holcomb property will be necessary. The Woman's Benefit association of Maccabees will hold a special meeting this evening at 8 o'clock at 209 East Mifflin street.

M.T. ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. Beautiful Sunday morning, was the passing expression at Mt. Zion last Sunday. The Sunday school exercises were excellent, Supt. Atkins with his corps of teachers were on duty. The children all full of glee, with bright ideas on the lesson. Asst. Supt. J. A. Josey was out of the city, therefore the school missed him. Rev. Smith preached as usual at 7:30. Subject, "Immortal Life." The house was filled to its seating capacity. With joy all listened to this noble divine utter the wonderful words of life. At the close of the sermon the Lord's Supper was administered. We must admit that this church, after many years of struggling, is spiritually and financially moving forward. TWO CENTS WILL CARRY A LETTER AFTER JULY 1ST TWO CENTS WILL CARRY A LETTER AFTER JULY 1ST Postoffice Department Will Revert to Pre-War Postage Rates Coincident with the announcement from Washington that the postoffice department has just issued a new three cent stamp to be known as the Victory stamp, Postmaster Devine here received official word that the old postal rates would be in effect commencing July 1st. This means that only two cents will be required to carry the average letter and one cent postal cards will be sold as in the pre war days. The postmaster said that none of the new Victory stamps mentioned in the Washington dispatches have been received at the Madison office. The new stamps are only temporary and will serve to commemorate the successful conclusion of the war. In announcing the issue today, the postoffice department said the supply would not be sufficiently large to replace the regular three cent stamp and postmasters would sell victory stamps only on request. The new stamp bears the figure of Liberty, victorious, helmeted and with a sword in one hand an scales in the other. The whole design appears on a shaded panel, with American, British, French, Belgian and Italian flags draped for the background. In size it compares with other special stamps, and is wider and shorter than the ordinary stamps. TAX OFFSET BILL KILLED BY ASSEMBLY C. E. Hanson Measure Defeated by a Vote of 55 to 31 The assembly by a vote of 55 to 31 killed the C. E. Hanson bill to repeal the personal property oset to the income tax. A moment later Assemblyman Coe, who had introduced a similar bill, withdrew it for the purpose of an amendment. Assemblyman C. E. Hanson made a determined fight for his bill mentioning the grain elevator cases. This measure if passed would increase tax revenues about $3,000,-000 annually. He said there was no good reason for the offset. Assemblyman W. E. Edwards, Waukesha, opposed the bill. He said it was incomplete and that it would not accomplish the purpose proposed. Assemblyman Matheson also spoke against the measure. On a roll call the bill was killed. The Sievers bill providing for the payment of wages in cash, went over and the Donnelly bill, amending the primary election laws to abolish nomination papers was killed by viva voce votes. The Klein bill relating to days of rest of policemen and firemen in Milwaukee was referred to the committee on labor with a number of amendments. The senate gave final passage to the Jennings' Milwaukee school board bill increasing the mill tax to four mills and providing that a minimum wage of $900 shall be established. Two other bills by Jennings, one empowering the council to change the salary of appointive officials and the other placing the council civil service system on the budget plan were passed. Because Attorney General Blain held that the Coe bill, appropriating $2,000 to Mrs. W. T. Purdy, widow of the composer of "On Wisconsin," is unconstitutional, Senator Roy P. Wilcox made the plea that members of the legislature take up a subscription to assist the family. For "On Wisconsin." "There is no way to help the family of 'On Wisconsin,' unless we go down into our own pockets," said Senator Wilcox. "I feel so indebted to the composer of this song that I have prepared a subscription for the senators and headed it." Senator Wilcox filed the subscription paper with Clerk Munson, with his own check for -25. Senator Bennett introduced a resolution asking the tax commission to furnish confidential information on incomes to the corporation committee. The resolution went over until next Wednesday. On motion of Senator Skogmo the senate will take up the confirmation of Carl D. Jackson, reappointed railroad commissioner as a special order in committee of the whole, March 20. The senate adjourned until 10 a. m. Friday. NEW YORK — The steamship Leviathan with troops of the 27th division (New York) was expected to dock before noon.

Sole Manufacturers 'ATRICKCUDAHY MAKES PLEA FOR RETURN OF BOYS Writes Letter to Madison Council Asking Official Action Patrick Cudahy, member of the packing firm of Cudahy Brothers, who has a son with the American forces included in the allied armies now in Russia, has addressed a letter of protest to the mayor of Madison and the common council. Mr. Cudahy also enclosed an editorial from the Chicago Tribune in which many of his own contentions are supported. The letter in full as it was read to the members of the council at the last meeting and excerpts from the editorial follow: "To the Honorable Mayor, 'Madison, Wisconsin. 'Dear Mayor: "It is common street gossip that our boys in northern Russia are being treated shamefully. There are about 4,500 American young men over there—a good part of them Wisconsin boys—being battered about by a Bolshevik mob. Everybody is asking the question: "Why are they there?" We have no quarrel with Russia. There might have been a reason in connection with defeating Germany for sending our boys in there last September or October, but there certainly is no reason for keeping them there now, and it would be an act of charity on the part of anybody that could bring any pressure to bear to get them back to their homes, and I write you this, asking you, as the mayor of the city of Madison, if it would not be right and proper to request the city council to pass a resolution demanding the withdrawal of our boys immediately and forward same to the proper party at Washington. "Hoping that you will look upon this matter with favor, 1 am, "Respectfully yours, "PATRICK CUDAHY."

JENNINGS BILL WOULD CHANGE MARRIAGE LAWS be Wed Senator Jennings introduced in the senate today a bill designed to remove the rig'd clauses of the marriage law, which are held responsible for the large number of persons who go out of the state for wedding ceremonies. The bill repeals the present sections of the act which requires that the county clerk post notice that a marriage license has been applied for, in order to afford interested relatives time to file objections and demand a court hearing. The bill also repeals the state uniformity clause, indicating that Wisconsin will go it alone in making its marriage laws. The clause under which courts may issue special dispensation for speedy marriage in cases of emergency is wiped out as being unnecessary with the repeal of the clause which requires that applications for license be posted for five days. A eugenic marriage clause, based on affidavit, is added to the law, applying to women. The eugenic requirements for men remain as at present. Women will be required 15 days before the application for license is issued, to appear before an officer authorized to administer paths and make affidavit of health. The marriage license will hereafter, omit the record of previous divorce, which was required to be made a part of the license under the old law, though the applicant must state whether he or she has been widowed or divorced. Other bills: By Nye—Authorizing city councils to substitute the ballot for voting machines at primaries and elections. By Bird—Authorizing county boards to name park commissions. By Fons—Requiring that applicants for auto licenses furnish liability $5,000. Outlet Store $50,000 GREEN TICKET SALE Wonderful Bargains On Sale --- Come Early FORD PLANS NEW AUTO AT PRICES OF $250-$300 LOS ANGELES—Further details of Henry Ford's plan to build a new automobile at less cost to the purchaser than any automobile now extensively sold, were published today. The new car will be built at factories strategically placed for economic collection of raw material and distribution of the product, Mr. Ford said. The new model car will sell at from $250 to $300. His son, Edsel Ford, president of the Ford Motor company, will, it is said, join his father in the new enterprise. This, it is understood, would virtually mean the abandonment by the Fords of the present company in Detroit. The new machine was devised by Mr. Ford during his "rest period" here.
