M'CONAHA COMPANY
HAS MODEL GARAGE

Announcement was made today by
the MeConaha company of the many
improvements to their garage at 1915
South Fourth street The company
formerly occupied two rooms, but just
recently made an arrangement where
by two extra rooms were procured.
Included in the department is a ladies'
rest room, repair room, sales room
and office. An air compressor has
been installed in the repair room
which is for the use of the public,
free of charge
This in itself is an important fea-
ture as it shows the company is ready
at all times to extend special courtesy
to its many customers and friends.
The manager of the McConaha COM
pany says that without a doubt there
are more Flanders and E. NJ. F. cars
sold in Wayne county than any other
make of cars. AS a proof of the quality
and durability of the cars which they
handle it has been necessary to in
crease the sales force.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 30
Every form of contest is disappoint-
ing in some detail to the spectators.
Motor car racing, thrilling though it
may be. Is no exception. Hundreds of
spectators at various automobile races
have made the remark, II wish | could
see the drivers face" but disappoint-
ment greets them every time for the
reason that goggles and a liberal guam
tity of greasy dirt cover the flying pi-
lots face SO completely that his fea-
lures are not discernible.
No matter what the contour of a
race drivers face may be, If he is a
seasoned veteran Of the sport, his
face assumes a similarity of lines and
expressions that stamp his trade the
same as the Bertillion system betrays
it's victims-the tense facial muscles
and squinted eyes mark him every
time.
Probably one of the best examples
of these expressions is found in the
picture of Howard Wilcox, one of the
stars of the National racing team. He
has grown up in the speed atmosphere
and has been one of the most success

The service bureau of the United
States Tire company, which now
has a membership of $4,000 mo-
florists, announces spring sugges-
lions for tire users. Some of them
are given below:
Before you finish tuning mp your
car for the coming season take
your castings off and examine the,
rims.
If they are rusty don't fail to
scrape and paint them.
And don't put the castings back
until you have made sure that the
rims are absolutely true and free
from dents.
If the rear tires are worn get
a new pair for the rear and let
the old castings spend their declin-
ing days on the front wheels,
where the service is easier. You
will be money in pocket by so do
ing.
Test the alignment of your axles.
The easiest way Is to measure be-
tween InS lGIIC00 Vi the Wheels Oh
the edges of the rims at the point
directly in front of the axle. If this
measurement differs from the same
measurement taken on the opposite
of the wheels it shows the axles
are cut of alignment. Correct this
defect Immediately or expect big
tire bills.
Buy good pressure gauge and
register solmen vow to use it fire.
quently and regularly throughout
the season.
If you add new accessories this
spring be sure they do not bring
the weight of your car above the
weight your tires are designed to
carry If you are in doubt about
this matter be on the safe side and
buy the larger size tires which are
made for your present rim equip
ment The cost a little more to
buy but considerably less to use.

full drivers during the past two or
three years.
Wilcox is shown here wearing his
speed face" The photograph was
obtained with difficulty as it was nee
essary for the photographer to ride on
the running board of the car and snap
the drivers face as he was flying
through the air at the rate of more
than a mile per minute. The goggles
We're lifted to show the natural posi-
ton of the eyes while driving at high
speed The face has a fierce, almost
brutal look and the set expression of
the eyes shows clearly how intent a
driver is upon his task. At terrific
speed he must think quickly and act
with accurate haste despite thrills,
hazards and hardships.
Despite the fact that the eyes are
almost closed when car is travelling
at high speed, the drivers see clearly
and look between the narrow Sits
with keenness that seldom falters.
This picture of Wilcox is probably the
most unique ever obtained of a race
driver in action.

in figuring out the possible mistakes
and in solving the exact manner in
which they can be prevented under

of the preparation takes fully as much
time as the devising of plans for max

building, beyond bathroom, was the bedroom
in which Mrs. Kyrle had taken up her abode

Of course, as the woman was staying in

He next gave his attention to writing table.

Clancy promptly appropriated some part OF the Jars
that might lead to discovery of the store that supplied
it. Indeed, before night came, the detective had
learned that Kvre bought his weed locally, and
smoked cigarettes.
He picked up waste-paper basket, cleared space
on the table, and began detailed scrutiny OF the
scraps of paper that nearly filled it. There were clrcu
