Bowen MOTOR INDUSTRY RAISES WAGES DETROIT, March 14-AP)The motor car industry, a leader in the parade toward prosperity, has moved to heed President Roosevelt's plea for slashed hours and higher wage rates.

The woman lived at 1157 West Virginia street. She disappeared last night and her body was found in a dug well in the back yard by her mother when the latter went to draw a bucket of water this morning.

Sheriff's deputies and police, together with members of the fire department, were called to the scene and brought the body to the surface today.
