Of course, that was lorn? before the day of the self-starter, and when you wanted to start It you twisted. - and you twisted, and some times we woul<) have to start It down hill and let It run for a quarter of a mile before the engine took hold. We are reminded of this car by see In? one of the new Town cars which the Ford agency here are displaying Yes truly the Lizzie Is now In the fashion and It matters not how much money you put Into an automobile ?ou will not get any more style than Is shown in this new Town car.

University visi tors hobnobbing with former Gover nor Cameron Morrison today on ' the Chapel Hill campus, found his former excellency perfectly willing to forego Chairman John J. Raskob. of the na tional Democratic executive commit tee. if the violent anti-Smiths will get rid of Senator Simmons. There is no likelihood that Mr. Morrison will open fire on Mr. Sim mons who has shot Mr. Morrison up' a time or two: but Mr. Morrison is Jiivinin to see the Democrats get together. He hardly sees the fairness In asking Raskob and Smith to leave the controversy the while Senator Simmons, most violent of them all, is in the way of harmony. The Morrison declaration for Owen D. Young was talked a great deal at Chapel HilL His appeal to the busi ness element of the country excels that of any other Democrat, it was observed. And Mr. Young voted foi Governor Smith. The Republicans pav his the perfect tribute. On him Mr. Morrison believes it possible to unite the Democracy. How well Senator Simmons will take to any proposal, if such Is made, that he remove himself from the party con troversy. Is not to be easily guessed. Mr. Simmons generally has wished for right much at the hands of the Dem ocratic party and never for more than Morrison has been willing to work and give. It seems to be a grand prospect for harmony In the party.

Supt. HOUSE REPUBLICANS DECIDE MEASURE IS TO BE RECONSIDERED President Declares Senate Ac tion May Gravely Jeopard ize Legislation SOME SENATORS SHIFT Washington. June 11 ? Overriding President Hoover's farm relief views for a second time today, the senate sent back to the house without ap proval the agriculture measure from which the export debenture provision had been eliminated on administration demand and thereby drew from the President a stiffly worded statement of condemnation. The outcome of the legislation to night was in doubt. The senate voted 46 to 43 against the compromise farm measure drafted by conferees of the senate and house after listening to a violent attack from both sides of the chamber un the pieMdeiHlai vli-frjj. Mr. Hoover retaliated a few hours later in a public statement denounc ing again the expcfrt debenture pro vision as bound to bring "further dis parity to agriculture." He declared the senate vote "adds further delay to farm relief and may 'gravely jeopar dise, the enactment_of .legislation." Rwimldfr Thursday. Hastily gathering to survey the sit uation. Republican leaders in the house decided tonight to' reconsider the farm measure Thursday under rules which will permit a direct vote on the export debenture, a course which the house previously had flatty refused to take. Senate Democratic leaders who head ed the successful advocacy ,of export debentures with the western Repub lican independents replied that their flght was tt\ force a house vote on the ? debenture. They gave assurance that they would abide by the decision of the house if it would take the vote. It was a day of bristling exchanges. , The senate debate was as vitriolic and spirited as has been heard in years. Senator Brookhart of Iowa, who cam paigned through the agricultural ~ipid-? die west for Mr. Hoover, closed tlliV". debate with an appeal for rejection of "this weasel bill' and for the election of a "progressive president by the farmers." a ^rclina -Jersey Ccw Wins Gold Medal New York.
