New Cars On Market
In Shelby Saturday
New models of both Hudson and
Essex cars were on display Satur
day at the D. H. Cline establish
ment, on West Warren street. Com
ment on the new vehicles was fav
orable in the extreme. Mr. Cline
explained that the new Essex has
76 improvements over the old, in
cluding a 70 h. p. engine as com
pared with a 60. with a sixty mile
possibility to be maintained all day;
while the Hudson has 64 new fea
tures, with a 92 h. p. engine, in
stead of the 80, with an 80 mile
possibility, and both models are re
duced, the Hudson substantially.
The New Chevrolet.
The new Chevrolet six made its
metaphorical bow to Shelby Sat
urday at Chevrolet headquarters in
the Gardner Garage. Many visit
ors passed very favorable judgement
on this latest of the General Mo
tors products. Mr. J. R. Crawford
was in active charge of the display,
having taken over the Chevrolet
agency from Mr. Jordan. The sales
men were talking price feature to
the crowds, elaborating on the
much advertised theme of a six
“in the price range of the four.”
The new car will be on display
after the first of th-? year at the
Buick building, to which the Chev
rolet headquarters is being trans
ferred.

STILL I ray
Nearly One Year Now Since Dis
appearance Of Frances Si.
John Smith.
Boston. Where is she? What was
her fate? As the year of 1928 went
out it leaves unsolved the greatest
disappearance mystery of the year,
that of Francis St. John-Smith,
heiress and Smith college student,
Miss Smith left, the college dor
mitories on Friday, January 13, and
stepped to all intents and purposes
into another world.
Nearly a year of search as thor
ough as the love and great wealth
of her family could provide has
failed to penetrate the veil of mys
tery surrounding her vanishing.
Arnold Case.
As a cause celebre the Frances
St. John Smith case promises to
rival the never-solved mystery of
what happened to Dorothy Arnold,
New York heiress, when she walked
out of Bretano's, where she had
just purchased a book and disap
peared on Fifth Avenue in broad
daylight.
Was Fiances killed or kidnapped,
and, if so. what was the motive?
The country’s foremost detectives
have been unable to say. At first
it was believed the girl might have
been drowned or had thrown her
self in a river near the college,
but the streams in the neighbor
hood were dragged to no avail.
Girl Disappears.
Two years before Miss Smith
disappeared—also on a Friday, the
thirteenth—another Smith college
girl, Alice Corbett, disappeared from
the college and has never been
seen since
Frances would be nineteen years
old now' and would have $2,000,000
in her own right.
Some time before she disappear
ed the girl wrote in the "Magus"
publication at Milton Academy,
where she had propped, that she
believed it would be "unalloyed
bliss” to run away. She wrote:
"My idea of unalloyed bliss has
always been to run away, but the
only difficulty with that was that
I had no indisputable reason for so
doing.
"I know that unless I felt myself
entirely Juetif,ed in pursuing my
course ihere might be some meas
ure of regret ard fear alloying my
happiness, and I never could re
solve upon so radical a step* before
making sure that I should receive
the fullest measure of bliss in re
turn '
Find rier Reason.
Did Frances finally find her “in
disputable reason?" Did she run
away, deliberately turn her back
on her family and fortune and
create for herself another identi
ty?
A letter written shortly alter the
girl vanished and broadest by her
parent*, Mr. Mrs- St. John
Smith, Indicates that they half
believe the girl had run away, rath*
er than beep kidnapped or kiljed.
The letter said'
"We want you to know that we
are thinking of nothing but your
safety and happiness Ii you are I
safe and want to make a different
life for yourself we do not want, to
interfere, but to help you if we
can.
Please Come Home.
"But we do want to know that j
: you are safe Won’t you write toj
Aunt Susie or M. T. and say that
you are? They will see that your
confidence is respected and your
wishes carried out. Above all, we
want you to come home; but, if
you wish rpdet and seclusion, they!
will sec that you have ii. We want
no explanation. We only want to
esrre for you end ‘fcnow that you are
safe. We yet through the days only
because wc hope every hour to
hear from you
“With. dearest love,
"MOTHER AMD FATHER ’
It was raid that Frances, despite
her beauty, apparently cared little
for men. She had no serious love
affairs, as far as was known.. She
had only one date with a boy at
Smith college.
Search for the missing girl has
been made all over the country.
