Rates are on an hourly basis where it Is a part time job, the pro fessional breaker-in working when the car owner has to be busy with something else. Another version of It that is proving at least of some help has been adopted by a dealer I know. He has a list of a few licensed drivers, married men, who need some extra money. They are all reputable and reliable. He recommends them to new car buyers if they want such a service and has found a sur prisingly large number do take some advantage of it.

It costs them very little and it does help relieve the financial strain on some few who need such relief now. However, if the new car buyer Is unwilling to trust his automobile even to a reputable substitute driver, there Is another way to put on at least a good part of the first 500 miles. The service station foreman was telling me about It Just the other day. It consists of jacking up the rear wheels of the car, putting firm blocks under the rear aide to make certain the car will not be jarred off Its base, and letting the car do its own breaklng-ln. With the rear wheels raised, the en gine should be started and the gears shifted into high.

The engine then should be allowed to run Just a little bit faster than Idling. The owner can go away and leave it' unci it runs out of gas or needs water, a thing that should be checked periodically, the fore man warns. It takes a private drive-way for this kind of breaking In, of course. Engines left running unattended in a public street are contrary to the law and to run one in a garage, even with the doors open, is to pile It full of danger ous carbon monoxide fumes. "But wouldn't It hurt the car in any way?" I asked the foreman.

"Well," he replied, "it's about the same thing as breaking-in a car as they do at some factories by putting the rear wheels on a tread-mill and allowing the engine to run for several hours to wear in the various parts." There, for those who can make use of them, are some Ideas on one of the most ticklish Jobs of owning a new automobile. On The Sidelines Jack Doyle, scout for the Chicago Cubs, does little talking as he goes about looking at possible future greats temporarily fretting their young lives away In the minor leagues, waiting for the big call to the majors. He takes the position that it is no part or his business to attempt to assist in the management of the but after Rogers Hornsby was quoted as saying the Cubs of 1932 would pin their faith on a club with a background of fine young players, Scout Doyle admitted that he thought the plan a good one. Along with the other Cub scouts, Red Corriden and Pat Flaherty, Doyle has looked at several hundred minor league players. When he reached the Pacific coast he had bought three, Bill Herman, the Louisville second baseman, who al ready has donned a Chicago uniform, Kreevlch, Des Moines outfielder, an other who has played already for Chi cago, and Tinning, a Des Moines club pitcher.

Naturally enough he believes the trio will make make good, especially Her man. The second baseman is a polish ed player, ready now to take his place as a big leaguer without further apprenticeship, Doyle says. Fears "Night" Talent The lights in the Pacific Coast league worry the scout. Not that he objects to watching baseball at night for his own amusement, but he is wondering as to the value of time spent this way. "I wouldn't pass Judgment on any player unless I had seen him in action in day games," he said.

"No scout can tell how good a man is when he looks at him under electric lights." Doyle also thinks the so-called depression is only a rumor in the Pacific Coast league. "I can say one thing for Coast league owners and that is they never heard of the word 'depression' judging by the prices they are asking for their players." Cloths Make The Grldder? When Washington State played Alabama In the Tournament of Roses football game last New Year's day, the Cougars were dressed In flaming red irmu iicau iim nicraiiy, me color the 'Red Devil' costuming so this year the Washington Staters will wear conventional garb. The regulation uniform was good enough to win the Pacific Coast conference championship so if probably will be effective again. And now "Slip" Madigan is expected to offer something new In the way of outfitting a football team when he sends his crack St. Mary's eleven against Southern California In the opening game of the season in the big Coliseum at Los Angeles.

The former Notre Dame guard calls it a "surprise" and gives no details. The evelution of football uniforms has been Impressive In recent years. The old timers would have hooted at the thought of a football player wearing silk pants. The modern player's whole uniform does not weigh as much as one piece of the equipment worn when football was young. Fordham still uses uniforms made on the pattern of the suits in vogue in the gay 90's, but there the resemblance ends.

They are only a fraction of the weight of their grandfather's monkey suits. AUiss Back Home Percy Alliss, the crack British pro fessional golfer who was runnerup to Walter Hagen for this years Canadian open, has resigned from his Berlin con nections to return to England. This will make him eligible for the next British Ryder Cup team, which can stand a bit of strengthening. Screen Life in Hollywood HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 3.

To one man belongs most of the credit for putting Hollywood money-wise. In the old days, you know, the star with a $5,000 a week income who didn't spend (4,950 of that was looked upon as a piker and a poor eport. Financial fash-Ions have changed In movleland in the last few years because Rex Cole had designs on an easy job. A star who does not save four-fifths or more of ASU PITTS his salary now is almost a social outcast. The one who saves is pointed out now, whereas the good-time Charlie used to be.

Rex Cole, a graduate of the University of Chicago, spent several years in the Orient and in Europe, teaching English to Chinese at first and later effecting better trade relations between this and other nations. Eight years ago he came to Hollywood, where he sold bonds. He saw motion picture people throwing their money away, giving it away and otherwise getting rid of it quickly and foolishly. Few of them invested wisely. "Lazy Man's Job" "Being essentially laE7," says Cole, "I was looking for an easier job than I had.

It occurred to me that someone, preferably myself, ought to be taking care of the huge salaries these people were earning. "At first I had difficulty convincing them that turnnig their business over to me was not an admission of weakness on their part. Many of them felt they should be able to handle their finances as well as their careers. "I made them see that $50,000 a year, or more, was a large business and should be handled as such." Cole started his company seven years ago and It has become the largest of its kind. Others, witnessing his success, have more or less successfully imitated him.

Cole's organization now has a clientele which Includes Constance Bennett, Dorthy Mackalll, Mary As tor, ZaSu Pitts, Regis Toomey, Warner Baxter, Eugene Pallette and perhaps a score of other players, a few writers, directors and executives. He Pays The Bills Cole charges a flat annual rate for handling every item of the stars' business. Their weekly pay checks are sent to him, which he deposits. He pays all their bills rent, help, groceries, club dues, auto payments, in fact everything, even, I suppose, their alimony when necessary. Through Cole 8 hands every year pass checks which have a total value of Between 000,000 and 83,000,000.

MRS. JAMES COOK usual and going further Into debt lor current expenses. An economist points out that such balancing is a contradic tion In terms. If you borrow to balance, you're not balancing. "You cant balance and borrow at the same time." The way to balance a budget is to increase Income or decrease expenditures, or both together, as Great Bri-tuin Is doing.

Britain is accomplishing her purpose by taxation so heuvy that it amounts to a capital levy, or confiscation of wealth. There is strong opposition to such measures in this country, not merely from a natural disinclination to pay higher taxes, but from principle. We learn from the British example that taxation may roach a point where the taxing power kills the goose that lays the golden eggs. It is better 11 we can accomplish the purpose now by nomy of expenditure. American Food Something new In hotel cookery Is the special kitchen In the new Waldorf Astoria where women cooks will pre-Dare tvplcal American meals to order.

Says "Oscar of the Waldorf," head of the whole vast culinary department: "This kitchen will be for the con venlence of those who tire of rending hotel menus and sometimes prefer cabbage and boiled beef to partridge and pheasant. Although men are considered the best cooks in other countries, there is a general feeling In America that women are far superior to men in their native culinary arts. Meals for those who desire strictly American dishes, such as Southern or New England dinners, will therefore be prepared by women cooks." It Is an Inspired idea. Returning tourists who have been eating their way through Europe will know where to eat their first meal after leaving the home-coming boat. Hnm and eggs, honest-to-goodness pie, corn bread thnt deserves the name, coffee, pancakes with syrup anyone can add to the list to suit his own tastes and the section of the country he comes from will all have a special appeal to appetitles Jaded from fancy dishes and strange ones.

One wonders, however, whether even this special kitchen In the great new-hotel can furnish really fresh fruits and garden vegetables to visiting folks from the regions west of the Hudson river. BUSINESS AND SPORTS Huron Huronite There is not much use in trying to pretend that the business depression isn't rather severe. Just the same. It is worth pointing out that the sports fans of the nation seem to be about as numerous and as flush as they ever were. Big league baseball has enjoyed a prosperous summer, and more than 200,000 people have tried to buy seats for the world series.

The opening game at St. Louis was played before packed stands. A number of huge college stadia are said to be sold out already for football games that will not be played for several weeks. Golf tournaments have drawn big crowds. Race tracks have prospered in various parts of the country.

Boxing, of course, has not done so well. But that may be the fault of the performers; for Jack Dempsey, on an exhibition tour, has been packing 'em in in amazing style. All in ail, it appears that a good athletic event will 'fcet Wcrowds as well in hard times as in an era of prosperity. State Press Comment Huronite: Mayor John E. Hippie of Pierre is still hoping that oil will be struck in the west river.

It would seem that John would realize that the state already has plenty of troubles without having to worry about the price of crude oil. Aberdeen News: The World Series Is on. Let the world stop turning around, the Gold Standard be abolished thru-out the earth, Germany go broke, France rave about the war-debt moratorium, Italy assassinate her Mussolini, Arthur W. Watwood try to enter the back door of the democratic party, Senator Bulow be unseated, and even the investigation of Brown county be discontinued, who will give a whoop until it's all over. Buffalo Times: Every boy and girl of school age in this community ought to be in school this fall.

It is no time for boys and girls to be staying out of school in search of employment except in cases of actual emergency. It is a genuine opportunity for all those of school age who can possibly continue the work of getting an education. In a period of depression and unemploy ment it is the unskilled or the untrain ed worker who first is affected. Training is an asset of unquestionable value. Argus-Leader: The prairie chickens can't be expected to make much headway in their effort to regain a foothold in South Dakota if they are to be turned over regularly to the question able mercies of the hunters.

The chickens are extremely few in number and even the brief open season of this fall is likely to reduce materially their ranks. Before another open season is declared, it might be well to make sure that we have not embarked upon an other compaign to exterminate the- birds. Rapid City Guide: The papers are saying darned little about Governor Green's boost of former Bank Superin tendent Fred Smith upon the latter's resignation last January. Can it be possible that Attorney General Sharpe failed to tell the governor all he (Sharpe) knew or is it more likely that even Sharpe lacked considerable information at that date. Governor Green's letter to Sharpe commended Sharpe for his public spirited service, and we'll bet a pretty penny that the governor wishes now he had been too busy to get around to write that letter.

It is mighty apt to prove embar rassing when Mr. Green comes around to the next campaign. Estelline Journal: Almost makes one "goofy" to listen to the continuous howl about hard times There's no doubt but what we had a crop failure and everything dried up aplenty, and for what little was raised there is a very low price, but we can't see where it betters matters any to be continually harping upon such disagreeable sub jects. We are all in a bad way, farmers, businessmen and all, but there Is some satisfaction in believing that better times are coming even though we must wait a year. You can make the winter Just as tough as you want to, but The regular stated meeting of the local chapter convened following the social hour, with a large attendance present.

Some of the youngsters who ordinarily work during the school vacation and after school hours at other times have been hard put to find jobs. Not long ago, however, one of them had an idea and out of It he made a job for him self. Madge had bought a new car and wanted to get it broken in quickly. However, everything conspired against it. Tom Richards, one of the high school boys, heard about the plight.

He went around and offered to drive the car, as it should be driven, a total of 160 miles a day for three dollars, or 500 miles for $10.00. Madge knew him, had a great deal of confidence in him, and gave him the job. The car was perfectly driven for Tom had nothing else on his mind in driving it. He never once got above 30 miles an hour. He started something.

Nearly everyone likes to drive a new car but It does take a long time to get over those first cautious few hundred miles. So Tom has become the official breaker-in of cars and a lot of other high school youngsters in our town have gone Into the same business. All of them are Capital Comment (By The Associated Press) PIERRE, Oct. 3. A lull seems to have enveloped South Dakota politics.

With relief, depression and the hunting season to talk about, politicians are not saying much. The latest wet and dry controversy has brought little comment from the party leaders. An nounced candidates, few in number, are silent. The latest candidate suggesting rumor involves three of the state's prominent republicans Attorney General M. Q.

Sharpe for' United States senator, former secretary of state Miss Gladys Pyle for first district congressman, and State Auditor William Dunn for governor, on a fusion ticket. The three have been mentioned frequently heretofore as Individual candidates but not as a united group. All three are strong politically. Dunn was second on the republican ticket as a vote getter at the last general election; Miss Pyle showed strength in leading four men candidates In the party's primary for governor, and Mr. Sharpe's prestige has increased since his banking department investigations.

Other political combinations have been suggested at various times by the Dolitical minded, but until leaders and candidates themselves voice their posi- tions the make-up of the primary ballots remains a matter of considerable guessing. Arthur Watwood, Aberdeen, twice de feated democratic candidate lor con gress In the west river district, is now stumping sections of the state urging democratic support lor TanKun u. Roosevelt for president. Watwood has been mentioned as a possible democratic candidate for either the United States senator or congressman from the first district. Governor Green has adopted a policy of official silence on relief plans during the last two weeks in the belief that it would facilitate efforts to obtain favorable modification of federal loan regulations.

Even during the few days he was kept from his office by illness, the executive was in close touch with federal officials. He conferred with several delegations on relief problems this week and directed collection of inform ation on loan conditions to present to Washington officials. No announcements were made, how ever, until Just before Mr. Green was ready to leave for Washington with Governor Shafcr of North Dakota to present a personal plea for more liberal loan regulations. The governor appar ently felt that too much publicity might do more harm than good.

Governor Green made a few minor appointments this week, Including selections on the state athletic commission and the soldiers home board. Positions likely to be filled In the next few weeks Include those of superintendents of the Custer State park and the soldiers' home at Hot Springs. For the lob of park superintendent, now held by Charles Robertson, democrat, State Senator Frank T. Fetzner of Hamlll, Is said to be a strong can didate. O.

W. Coursey, Mitchell, has been suggested as a possibility for su perintendent of the Hot Springs insti tution. Ten Years Ago (October 4, 1921) Mrs. A. M.

Franks, who was called here a short time ago by the serious illness of her daughter, Mrs. Robert Hogarth, left on the Burlington yester day for her home In Kearney, as Mrs. Hogarth is now recovered. Mrs. E.

E. Benjamin was among the outgoing passengers on the North Western last evening for Pierre, where she will remain for several days. Mrs. Neil McDonough and Miss Rose McDonaugh, after a short visit in Fair- burn with friends, returned home on the C. N.

W. yesterday afternoon The dream of metropolitan baseball fans is a reality. For a year, the followers of the national game hoped for a series of battles between the New York National and American league teams, and now, after 19 years of waiting, the Giants and Yankees are to grapple for the supreme prize of professional base ball. Led by John McGraw and Miller Huggins, the Giants and Yankees will scamper onto the grounds shortly after noon with a combination of stars seldom if ever equalled. Rev.

J. Maurice Hupp of Lead, left on the North Western last evening for Pierre to attend the state convention of Baptist churches. Fifty Years Ago (October 4, 1881) Dr. Babcock was called suddenly away this morning to Rapid City. He will return tomorrow.

Col. Carpenter, of the Northwestern Stage and Transportation company, is expected on tonight's coach. M. V. Boughton came in last night with two loads of hay and one of po tatoes.

His crop of corn is the best ever raised In this part of Dakota. J. G. Sullivan, at one time superin tendent of the city water works, return ed yesterday from the southern Hills Col. John Lawrence, the old reliable chief of the Bald Mountain district, has been in the metropolis a few days greeting his old friends.

The colonel says his district is the gem of the Hills and we begin to think he Is right. The good people of City creek are greatly exercised over their thoroughfare. Petitions are being circulated praying for an additional street or the widening of the one they have.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1931 BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY Bible Thoughts memorized will prove a heritage In after years. THE CHOSEN FAST: Is not this the last that I have chosen? to loose the bunds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Isaiah 58:6.

At least the much-discussed depression has made it respectable to live within your Income. All the farmers ask in the way of relief, says an exchange, is lower taxes, lower interest and higher prices. That doesn't sound like much, but just try to figure it out. The truth of any proposition isn't attested beyond dispute because it has been printed in a book, though very much that is useful and helpful has been printed because it is true. An absurdity deserves no credence because some one at some time has had the nerve to put it in print.

The Sioux Falls Argus-Leader fears that the game commission has embark ed on a campaign to exterminate tne nrairie chicken, and says that the birds "are extremelv few in number." We can't soeak for the east-river section, but the birds are more plentiful in this section and the open season will not have a noticeable effect on the number. The game commission selected the time of day for hunting that protects tne chickens amply and the four afternoons of shooting are entirely warrant ed, a least in the Blackballs section, The level-headed director of the president's national relief committee, Walter S. Gifford, does not mince matters, when he says that the restoration of prosperity depends upon the combined actions of the individual buyers of the country. In a radio speech he says that if the public buys neither work nor goods it is discharging men, not the men who normally do the em ployment. Mr.

Gifford has no illusions about the existence of any panacea, not being a politician, but a business man. Normal buying, he points out, will produce normal conditions. Once more the adverse attitude of the city government toward the fire department, exemplified by the action of the chairman of the committee in charge of the Auditorium in opening that hall for the winter season before snow or cold weather sets in, is clearly shown. The firemen of Deadwood, who are firemen, will surely resent this action, as will their many friends and others who believe in cooperation and fairness and who appreciate the many fine things that the firemen have done for the city without one cent of cost to the taxpayers. But, what could you expect from an inferior complex caused by the hunger for a few dollars? If it is the amount of gold held by the United States that is responsible lor the monetary dislocation of' the country, as some have argued, times ought to be getting better fast.

During the week ending last Saturday, more than 185 millions of gold left New York for foreign shores. The experts say that this was the natural result of the shift value of the English pound. Central banks of Europe carry a part of their reserves in London, and when they withdraw they are paid in pounds. When it comes to valuing those reserves they are listed at the market price, not at the old exchange value. In order, therefore, to keep their reserves at the proper level, they took the easiest way out and converted their New York bills and acceptances into gold, and thus started the draft.

Security Life insurance companies may have difficulty in collecting their premiums. Countless policy-holders may wait until the last day of grace, and then draw on accumulated dividends or ask for a policy loan to meet the payment. Yet they do hang onto their policies, and they do take out new ones. Figures indicate that the insurance business is prospering. In the first half of the present year it gained $1,250,000,000.

This is not so large as the normal gain in recent years, but Impressive in com parison with most other lines of busi ness. Evidently what people want nowadays more than anything else Is eco nomic security. Here they find a way to get it for their families in case of death. We are still fumbling for a satis-lactory way to get it while the breadwinner Is living. And we are very far short of security for society as a whole.

Balancing Budgets The world today is struggling to balance its budgets. It is the leading problem of the average government, state, city, business Institution and family. And we're all learning something about budgets. There is a good deal of insistence in this country that our government shall Society Notes (By Miss Florence Gassan) Rapid City Man Host At Party Art Hotling of Rapid Citv entertain ed twelve guests at a 5:30 steak dinner at the Rocky Cove Dinner Garden on Tuesday evening.
