By the Associated Pres*
LONDON. November 1. — Airplanes

tafek of searching along the West Coast
Ireland for the bodies of those fish*
eMnen who fell victim to the angry
Along the coast •of Gal wav and
Mayo, weird tales of that storm,
which claimed from 60 to 70 lives,
were told.
One night last week, one of the tales
Bald, a phantom ship followed a fish
ing boat from Inishbofln, Galway. The
wraith vessel refused to answer any
hail, but remained by the seamen
throughout the night. This the crew
interpreted as a warning of an im
pending disaster and declined to set
forth again Other similar stories were
current among the superstitious folk.
One actual warning, however, came
too late. Father Quinn, parish priest
of Lackan, one of the stricken vil
The cart
*
before the horse
To choose a new car simply on the basis of the
largest allowance for your present car is like
putting the cart before the horse.
For the real measure of a trade-in transaction
is how much new car value you get for your pres
ent car, plus the balance that you pay in cash.
You trade-in your present car for a new car most
wisely when you are guided by these facts:
J Your present car has only one fundamental basis of value:
# that is what the dealer who accepts it in trade can get for it
in the used car market
2. Your present car has seemingly different values because
competitive dealers are bidding to sell you a new car.
The largest allowance offered is not necessarily the best deal
for you. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not. An excessive
allowance may mean that you are paying an excessive price for the
new car in comparison with its real value.
From the car-buyer’s standpoint, a trade-in trans
action is a purchase , not a sale . So first judge the
value of a new car in comparison with its price,
including all delivery and finance charges. Then
weigh any difference in allowance offered on your
present car.

radio, heard a warning of the coming
storm. He rushed to the shore to warn
the fishermen. It was too late; they
had set sail.
Virtually every breadwinner in
Lackan was drowned within a few
hundred yards of his home, when
the fishing fleet was dashed to pieces
on the rocks. Too poor to buy more
modern equipment, most fishermen
along these coasts use craft made of
tarred canvas, considered a poor
refuge in a raging sea.
Many of the impoverished fishermen

to save their nets.
Die Before Families.
Priests pronounced conditional ab
solution for those who would never
return to their mourning families.
About 45 of these ill-fated fishermen
were overtaken by the sudden gale
and dashed to death in sight of their
homes as their wailing wives and
children watched helplessly from the
shore. Three separate fleets of boats
were thus overwhelmed

fewer than 17 ships as casualties and
it was feared that the count of these
