STAR "LOANED" FOR BIG FILM Through the courtesy of the Paramount Company, Agnes Ayres was "loaned" to the Halperin Productions to play the principal feminine role in the big production, "When a Girl Loves." As is the ace with all the Halperin pictures the story is by Victor Hugo Halperin, former literary associate of Elbert Hubbard and author of that extremely successful farce, "Tea with a Kick." Mr. Halperin invariably exploits some popular and modern tedium in his writings and has achieved such success that the Halperin organization, headed by his brother, Edward, and Limself was not used for the sole purpose of producing his stories. In fact, he is the only screen writer who is consistently featured above the cast. In addition to Miss Ayres, "When a Girl Loves" will be interpreted by a group of well-known players, including Percy Marmon, who enjoyed enviable fame in "I Winter Comes," Robert McKim, George Siegmann, Otto Ledener, John George (signed through the courtesy of Roxlingham), Mary Alden, Les White, William Criamond, Mone, Rosa Rosanova, and Ynez Seabury. Mr. Halperin, in directing the picture, had the assistance of C. R. Wallace. "When A Girl Loves" comes to the United Theatre tomorrow and Monday a special ladies matinee will be given Sunday 2 p.m. FIRST CLOSED CAR HUDSON, CLAIM (Continued from Page One) tion of custom-built quality with quantity price.

DE PALMA DRIVES 60 MILES PER HOUSE Successfully completing severest test of endurance asked of any stock car in a Formula event, a stock Chrysler touring car with Ralph DePrairie at the wheel covered 1000 m on Freesno track last Wednesday in the remarkable time of 14 minutes and 54.8 seconds. Was an average of 59.54 m per hour for the entire distance which was covered in 16 hours 47 and a fraction minutes. Timing of the event was in hands of Val Harenape and Welter, acting as official representatives of the A.A.A. Their activities were confined to the run; however, and the A.A.A did not certify as to the fact that the Chrysler was strictly stock not, this being done by representatives of a Los Angeles newspaper who handled the run. An official thermometer at track at mid day showed a temperature of 102 degrees but Chrysler at no time gave evidence of overheating. "To my knowledge, this is the severest test ever asked of stock car in California," said Stollette of the Frank Tagartini local Chrysler dealer, at the end of the run. "The facial that car was absolutely stock, ratio motor and all shows vincingly, we believe a remarkable degree of endurance were not endeavoring to put speed in the test but rather show the ability of the car stand up under the extreme wide oval for a thousand miles. Any who has ever driven a stock car at speeds past sixty miles hour knows that it is a terrific test of endurance for any car do this."

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Newell entertained a number of friends from Los Angeles Sunday. QUESTION—Will ordinary motor oil properly lubricate the transmission of my 1923 Hudson? ANSWER—Motor oil, as the name implies, is intended for engine lubrication and should not be used in your transmission. The construction of the gear box or case in which the transmission gears operate is such that it would not retain a light oil like motor oil. QUESTION—The oil pressure gauge in my car indicates maximum pressure at all times even at low speeds and after a long run or hot weather. What is the reason for this? ANSWER—The condition speak of is a very dangerous situation and should be correct immediately. The pressure or gauge is a flow indicator, showing that your oil is circulating under what pressure. The reason for this condition is plugged oil line between gauge and the engine. This plugged line will build up back pressure from the oil pump, causing the gauge to show maximum pressure at all times. QUESTION—How much will a Ford car hold when filled to the proper level? ANSWER—Approximately four quarts.

SECOND-MURDER CHARGE LIKELY MOUNT VERNON, Ill., Sept. 20—"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." This was Rev.Lawrence Hight's reply to the charge he had poisoned his wife, Ann, with arsenic. That was the minister's reply today to the question as to whether he had a love affair with pretty Elsie Sweetip, of Ina, where he conducted services in a Methodist church. Dr.Hight is charged with the murder of his wife. Because Wilford Sweetin died under mysterious circumstances July 28 last and because the tongue of goship had it that Rev.Hight was infatuated with Sweetin's pretty $1-year-old wife, cold medical science will be asked to solve the riddle of the young Ina man's death. Sweetin's vital organs were sent to Chicago today to have Wm.D.McNally, former coroner's chemist determine whether or not poison killed him. If poison should be found and it be identical with that found in the stomach of the clergyman's wife, a second charge of murder may be placed against the minister in the Jefferson Co. jail here. Sheriff Grant Holcomb is convinced the minister knows more about the death of his wife than he has told. "I have placed a murder charge against him already," the sheriff said, "and we wouldn't do that unless we had something tangible." We expect develop- L.A.RACE TRACK MAN STARTS JACKSONVILLE, Fl., S.C.-Charging "misappropriation funds," entering of fraud contracts and "trickery to stockholders," H.D.Brown Jilionaire race track man Angeles, has entered suit against C.A.

Paul Revere's famous ride was a veritable canter of joy compared to the ride given the 23 zone sales promotion representatives of the Chevrolet Motor Co. on the General Motors testing grounds near Milford, Mich., last week. The ride was the final feature of their meeting at the headquarters of the company in Detroit. Bad as the roads seemed to be in the various sections of the country represented by these men, they all admitted that human ingenuity even went nature and better. In devising the hills with grades from 13 to 24 per cent, tortuous gravel roads, rock-ribbed meadow driveways and sharp turns on concrete roads, with all other obstacles of bridges and culverts that might be encountered on the most dangerous of road beds—all of which are included in these great testing grounds. These General Motors proving grounds, where all the cars of the various General Motors units will be tested, included an immense tract of 1146 acres. On these grounds, Chevrolet cars are often driven continuously for days and nights at a time and are subjected in two or three weeks to the actual usage a car might encounter in two or three years under normal driving conditions, says the story received by the Frank P. Taggart On. Eight miles of concrete and gravel roads constitute part of the proving grounds. There are approximately two miles of concrete roadways. 20 feet wide; one mile a perfectly level straight-away course, with 20-foot gravel turns; and the other mile built with varying grades up to 12 per cent. All of the concrete construction has been installed in accordance with the specifications of the Michigan State Highway Department. Six miles of 20-foot gravel road has also been built, with culverts and hills. There is a wide Eight miles of concrete and gravel roads constitute part of the proving grounds.

All of the concrete construction has been installed in accordance with the specifications of the Michigan State Highway Department. Six miles of 20-foot gravel road has also been built, with culverts and hills. There is a wide variety of grade in this road, reaching a maximum of 24 per cent. The zone sales promotion representatives not only rode in Chevrolet cars over these testing grounds, but also in other makes of cars in the Chevrolet price class. They stated after the tests that the next time they are asked to ride in cars over this testing ground, they want Chevrolets. DIRT CIRCUIT RECORD BROKEN Continued from page one middle of the track at 72 miles an hour. On all the curves he rode close in and never did he seem to show any sign of a skid. After finishing his record setting five-mile grind, the speed king drove up in front of the grandstand, where he was immediately surrounded by a curious and enthusiastic group of racing fans, anxious to see how his car had stood up under such a grueling test. Apparently the car was none the worse for the grind and most noticeable was the fact that the radiator had not boiled. Following his record setting trials De Palma agal negotiated the mile oval with local people as his passengers. On the first lap with a Herald-Telegram man, he negotiated the circuit in 55 seconds flat, and on the second trial, with another Herald-Telegram man, broke his record set up in his previous trials by lapping the circuit in 53.4 seconds. The time made in yeaterday's trials by De Palma will stand as official, as it was caught by three San Luis Obispo newspaper men with stop watches. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1924 A. A.
