 Arthur. bearing the queens crown and the bouquets. approached the white faced. trembling Esther and said in feiSned voice. I crown thee Queen of Love and Beauty" Then he presented the bouquets of the ladies of honor to the nearest wom- en, Vivian Marston and Mrs. Burton Ran dolph.
 At the far end of the grand stand the raging Blair was pointing to the victor and saying. That is Arthur Stanley. the nur- derer of Dr. Lee, Go and get him."
 Hardly knowing what he doing. but in anger at the clumsy. testing sheriff, wild idea to discomft that official and the unhorsed informer for the sake of the gal iant looking victor seized Quabba- With delft clutch of his quick fingers he clasped the dangling end of the handcuns to the wrist of Blair.

Mr.. Wiley has received the cards
and has passed out a few of them He

The chief cause of trouble with cleo

.olDs INTRODUCES
8 CYLINDER AUTO

According to word received by J. F.
Hornaday. Richmond representative
Of the Oldsmobile. the new eight has
been introduced by the Olds Motor Co.
Of Lansing. Mich. and is a departure
both in looks and mechanical design
from any car yet produced by that
company and is, also at variance with
anything In the S-cylinder line now on
the market. Mr.. Hornaday was unable
to say when a car of this kind will be
placed on the Richmond market.
From the bonnet back to the rear of
the car it resembles the Odds four. but
there the resemblance ends. All other
features are either entirely new or
modified to meet requirements of an
S-cylinder chassis. Consideration OF
the full description of the car has con.
WINGED Mr.. Hornaday that the car will
undoubtedly be in the A No. class
of new S-cylinder machines

WESTCOTT AUTO
MAKES JOURNEY
ACROSS COUNTRY

The officials of the Westcott Motor
Car Company Of Richmond, Indiana,
are in receipt OF letter from e. F.
Overton who recently made the tour
from New York to Oakland, California,
in his Westcott The letter follows:
On the last lap Of our journey we
made the run from Seattle. Washing
ton, to San Francisco, a distance of
over a thousand miles in seven days.
The roads from Seattle to Portland,
Oregon, are good but the roads from
Portland to Oakland, California, are
quite the opposite. The mountains and
scenery were beautiful sights to be-
hold but the going was rough and haz-
ardous and much care had to be exer
cised in making the climb.
Our trip from New York to Seattle
was without a single mishap. To say
that we enjoyed every moment spent
with our Westcott Six is expressing it
mildly. Incidentally we had a nice
write up in all the principal cities. Ev-
eryone seemed to admire our car and
crowd, the usual remark being

What kind of a car Is that? Never seen
one like 1t here before. 1t certainly is
a nice looking car"
At Seattle where we spent three
weeks the Westcott made many
friends and Seattle's steep grades were
all easy going on high and when you
consider that there were six heavy
weights in the car you can realize that
our Westcott showed wonderful per-

IN WINTER WEATHER

The present time Of the year 10 the
worst time for automobiles, said .
prominent garage man today. The
sudden changes In the weather make
adjustments necessary on carburetors
and there are hundreds Of auto owners
in the city who do not understand car
buretor adjusting. he said.
1T Is not an uncommon thing to
hear engines putting and snorting ~
the auto gees down the street." he
said, land this is always due to bad
carburetor adjustment As soon Is
the weather becomes settled. the ad-
justments can be made permanent for
the winter and no more trouble will
be experienced"
In most of the cases, the gasoline
mixture Is not rich enough but In
many cases. changes have been made
and the mixture il too rich. Carbu-
retors for driving in the day time may
not be adjusted right for night driving.
The greatest trouble is In starting
the engine. II there IL q carburetor
adjustment on the dash, II il always
a good policy to give an extremely
rich mixture to start q cold engine
and in this case il can be done easily
