well. except that 1t requires the use of
much valuable storage room that could
often be used to better advantage.
A third class of dealers will take as
part payment on a new car any machine
that the purchaser wishes to dispose Of.
but they will not make any fixed allow
ance for the car. Instead, they call up a
dealer in secondhand cars, find out what
he will allow. and give what he sets
down as the value of the machine I'm
fortunately this does not always work
out to advantage. The owner in most
every instance places a value on his car
that Is far in excess OF its true worth,
and when he finds that he cannot get
anywhere near this figure, decides to do
business elsewhere.
In every city dealers have tried to work
out plans that would be- to the mutual
advantage of the buyer and themselves,
but as yet have come to no conclusion.
Dealers organizations have been formed
which have as one of their bylaws a rule
that the dealer who handles the car Of
fered for sale shall set the used car val
ue. This has been more or less success
full, but every now and then some repre-
sentative by various means seeks to get
around this rule and thereby make a
sale.
As the business grows in years and diff
ferent plans are tried out, there is no
question but what something will be bit
upon as a plan that will solve the used
car problem.

u GEORGIAN'S INVENTION THAT
HAS BEEN A BOON TO GASO-
LENE ENGINE OWNERS.

Since the price of gasolene has been
soaring sky-Ward, and the Govern
ment seems powerless to stop it, a
Georgian, who has made a study of
Sasolene engines, and is really q
specialist in their construction and
operation has devised an attachment
which makes it possible to change
the gasolene engine from a burner Of
gasolene only, to a kerosene burner
In common with many other con-
Germs, The Jeffersonian Publishing
Company was feeling keenly the ad-
vance in the cost of gasolene, as the
entire Jeffersonian plant is operated
by this power
With two linOtypes, a large Hoe
web press, two flat-bed presses and
the stitchers and job presses which
the plant operates, to be fed by gaso-
aene power, the problem became
acute
Mr.. ]. D. Watson heard of the
Georgia man who could alter a gaso-
aene engine and make it do the same
work, with kerosene as a fuel. and
he Immediately got in touch with this
man, Mr.. HOrgrefe, of Augusta, and
the work was accomplished without
causing the plant to lose any time.
The invention Of 11fr. Horgrefe has
passed the experimental stage, the
change that was made necessary i'm
the engine of The Jeffersonian Com
pany has been paid for by the saving
on gasolene in less than three
months
The same power is generated, the
machinery pulls as evenly, and The
Jeffersonian Publishing Company is
glad to call the attention of the users
of gasolene engines to this economic
invention which will mean much to
FARMERS, mill-men, and all other con-
Germs which have almost been forced
TO quit operations because of the
enormous advance, in the price of
gasOlene

ROMAN CATHOLIC AMBASSADOR.
(By Gilbert o. Nations, Vice Presi-

dent Free Press Defense League.)
On Saturday, March 4, the Presi-
dent Of the United States sent to~the
Senate the name Of Joseph Hooker
Shea for confirmation as ambassador
extraordinary and plenipotentiary to
Chile. On the following Monday the
Senate confirmed the appointment.
SO promptly did Mr. Shea receive
plenary power to represent our ma
ton at the capital Of the South
American republic.
Why did the Senate, which has
failed in two months to confirm the
appointment Of Louis D. Brandeis to
the Supreme Court, confirm the APP
pointment of Mr.. Shea to the great
diplomatic office in one day exclusive
of Sunday?
SHEA IS A ROMAN CATHOLIC!
Like many other Roman Catholics,
he had held a great judicial office be-
fore his appointment as ambassador.
