...Bloody Car. Among Diamond's acquaintances is one Harry ("Skunky") Klein, 26. Last week detectives found him drunk in a Brooklyn garage once owned by "Vannie" Higgins. They arrested Klein because a Buick car in the garage had blood-splattered upholstery, contained a discharged pistol cartridge and blocks for running it over a harbor stringpiece into oblivion. Tipsy and garrulous, Klein said he was living at the Acra estate, had been wakened by strangers the previous morning at 4 a. m., told to drive the Buick to Brooklyn and find one Fred Witcher who would help him dispose...
Dead Men. Mrs. Western testified that her husband had been summoned to the Acra estate, had gone there in his car several hours before "Skunky" Klein was known to have started in it to Brooklyn. She and the police feared Western was dead, directed a widespread search for his body, which would be evidence upon which to apprehend the legally elusive Diamond. Whether or not Western was dead, two other alleged racketeers were surely dead in Brooklyn, and two more were in hospitals, struggling to keep alive, all shot since Klein's drunken revelations. Because of these shootings, District...
Last fortnight it was rumored that Durant Motors will manufacture the Mathis, a small French car. Last week's announcements confirmed these stories.

Although Durants will still be made, apparently the new car will predominate. For the last four months total Durant registrations in the U.

Testimony to the popularity of torn-thumb cars was the report last week that American Austin Car Co. Inc., with normal capacity of 60,000 a year, had 184,000 unfilled orders on hand June...
...estimated brace. A fair sized moor, estimated to give 3,000 brace, rents for $15,000 with its house and gamekeepers, but without house-servants. The grouse season brings Scotland an annual income of about $10,000,000. To shoot Scotch grouse, a visitor gets in a car with his host after breakfast and drives to some point on the edge of the moors. Then he gets out and walks to the butt-a crescent-shaped blind screened with furze. Last year one U. S. millionaire kept a tractor at the moor's edge in which he drove...
