n,Outnlnous region Of northern New
ysrvey. between Kenvil and Lake
Hopatcong. There are big powder
mills at Ksnvil. and the numerous

The cabin was built IN 1907, by

SIXTY years ago. he divided equally
his seventy acres between them.
The brothers did all their own work
until fifteen years ago. when, en-
fesbled by age. they were obliged TO
employ farm hands. Then the pow

than the Turks could afford, and
the farm has since been allowed 70

any thump, knock or tap. Of course, the noiselessnes of 8 motor in motion lis proof of it's perfection, but yol must not expect this condition in a user car unless it be of the latest manufacture, for you must under stand that all machinery is subject to wear and tear and consequently to the production of noise.
 Should any knock make itself pre-, dominant, however, then there is something serious. which needs atten- ten. While it may not be anything radically wrong at the time it may be- come so and necessitate the making of expensive repairs. For immediate purpose the only s'knock'' that naed
 be noticed is one in bearing which
 may be recognized most often as a
 dull or heavvy metallic knock. heard

 This test discloses the equality of the pressure produced in each one of the cylinders, and in any motor which is in good condition this pres sure or compression should seem equal at every pull up.

Having made up your mind to pur- chase a motor car and deciding that the cost of new one is too great an outlay, you naturally turn to the used ca, market, which is usually well stocked with machines of various manufacturers and conditions of re- pair, according to Motor Print. The first thing to do is to follow dili- gently the automobiles for sale ad- vertisements. By doing this for week or so you will be able to gain some Knowledge of current pricss of mod els, which will help you to tell whether any real bargains are to be had and where to find them
 After you have examined various machines and feel that you are sat-
