COUNTER BALANCED
CRANK SHAFT SUCCESS

The cOunterbalanced crankshaft car
Is an instantaneous success and has
been so pronounced by national motor.
ing authorities It is given credit for
having won national approval in thirty
days. This fact is ratified by +. A.
Beeman, representing Oklahoma Grow
Elkhart Company who says.
After our first announcement a
spontaneous call came for the car from
all sections Of our territory. Notwith.
standing this fact the Crow-Elkhart
large factories are able to make i'm
mediate deliveries.
What the Grow people now offer
is one of the notable achievements of
motor car performance, and motorists
have been quick to recognize this new
kind of power. The Crow Elkhart
counterbalanced crank shaft car
achieves greater results than multiple
cylinder construction. With it YOU
have the economy of the moderate
priced car with the performance OF
the higher priced car"

The Gold Brick Sellers.

Swindling promoters are shrewd.
Whenever they find any line of in

Immediately organize fake companies

ing to small investors to secure a
generous income. So we have had au-
tomobile, oil, mining. real estate, hotel,
plantation. and now We are having
aircraft schemes, in which the credu-
lous public is invited to put all its
loose change.
Why doesn't the public realize that
in all these lines of business, the old,
well-established and dividend-paying
concerns offer the best opportunities
for investment. They never print
lurid literature. guaranteeing fortunes
and promising extravagant dividends.
They are managed by men whose
characters put them above this. yet
the public will only bite on a bait
that is made extraordinarily attractive
by promises impossible of perform
ance. Hence the vogue OF compan-
les that sell their shares as low as
one cent each. The man with SO who
can buy certificate for 1000 shares
jumps at the promise held out TO him
that some day his SO may grow into
$4,000. To him it is a lottery, nothing
else. And when he loses, as he always
does, he goes out on the street corner
and denounces the sharks of Wall
Street. Jasper" in Leslie's.

Back in the unthreaded mountains
of southeastern Kentucky a little
school is trying to build a road from
Yesterday to Today. writes Ethel De
Long in the current issue of The
American Motorist.
Continuing, Miss de Long says:
who knows but what a few years
hence you may be driving a Pierce
Arrow-certainly a Ford-up John
Fox's Kingdom Come or. more re-
luctantly. down to the mouth of
DEVILS Jump Branch, that runs into
Hell-fer-Sartin.' And the tour books
and the A, A. A. maps soon will
be telling you just how to get from
Possum Trot to Frying Pan, or from
Squabble Creek to Red Bird, where
now only little trails wind through
the laurel and the rhododendron.
This is the world of the eigh-
teenth century, where the lore OF
the spinning wheel fingers even to-
day. and many a home still has its
pile of hand-woven blankets and
'kivers.' The fatty pine-torch lights
the evening meal IL the glow from
the fireplace is not enough; for elec-
ric lights are known only as matter.
OF hearsay, well described by a small
visitor to a city as follows: You
mash in the wall and lights come
out, and you mash hit in ag'in and
they're plumb gone

watch AUTOS rims,
SAYS LOCAL dealer
Often Cause of Tire Trouble. Ayers
Firestone Agent.

Tire service should mean more than
merely changing and repairing tires
and tubes" remarked a local dealer
in Ffrestone tires.
The experienced driver appreciates
a service that takes care OF his rims
as well as his tires. Too many deal
ers who are giving an elaborate free
tire service are overlooking this little
item. Drivers usually know more
about tires than they do about rims.
That is because their tires give them
more trouble than their rims. But
frequently defective rims are the
cause of their tire trouble. The con-
scientious service man will examine
the rims carefully. make such minor
repairs as appear necessary and ad-
wise the owner on the more impor-
tant repairs"
The dealer pointed out that the Fire
stone Tire & Rubber Company is the
only tire company manufacturing
rims and that Firestone dealers have
the advantage Of being able to sup
ply rims and rim parts made by tire
specialists

motorist to give a little attention to
that part of his cars electrical sys-
tenn, which makes night driving pos
sible under any conditions. says Z. i.
Hedges, manager OF technical service
for the Haynes Automobile Company,
OF Kokomo. Ind.
According to Mr.. Hedges there are
three situations which may lead to an
ineffective lighting arrangement. any
one of which the man who drives his
own car may remedy himself. Briefly
stated they are: Headlights in poor
focus; reduced reflection. and failure
Of bulbs to burn.
"If your headlights burn brightly,
but fail to illuminate the road, 1t Is
an Indication that the lamps are not
properly focused" says Mr.. Hedges.
This may easily be remedied by plac-
ing the car about fifty feet from the
side of a building and adjusting the
headlights until the bright spot from
each bulb is slightly more than three
feet in diameter and the two illum-
mated areas almost touch. The lower
edge Of each circle OF light should be
about eighteen inches from the
ground.
Reduced reflection results chiefly
from tarnished spots and dust on the
polished silver rejecting surfaces. A
channels soaked in alsohol and then
dipped in dry powdered rouge should
be used on tarnished areas. Great care
must be taken so that no grit Will
scratch the reflector.
The failure of headlight bulbs to
burn may be traced to defective bulbs.
poor connections, short circuits or
grounds in the lighting system. If
one light goes out, the bulbs should
be interchanged and this will indicate
whether the trouble Is in the bulb or
the wiring. When lights fail to burn
with the electric starter working and
the automatic circuit breaker closed,
the cause is commonly an open circuit,
due either to a break in the wiring
or a poor connection in the socket at
the back of the headlight. II one
light burns more brightly than the
other when the dimming switch is
used, a ground or short circuit is
usually present"

CHINA'S LIBRARY ROBBED.

Apropos of the scandal in the
finance department Of China comes the
announcement that two very much
priced manuscripts OF ancient Budd-
histic literature have disappeared from
the national library at Peking. They
are very valuable and worth large
sum; but the thief will find much
trouble in disposeing of them, owing
to the prompt announcement of the
robbery.
There are more than 7.soo volumes OF
Buddhist manuscripts in this library.
full indexed and not accessible to the
public; but two volumes at a time are
supplied to readers upon application.
On April 30. two volumes disappeared.
The thief is believed to be known and
Is said to be a man Of responsibility
in government employ. He is under
espionage and will be taken into Gus

bath OF KEROSENE
Helps CRANK CASE
Should Be Drained Every 500 OIL
1000 Miles and Refilled.

1t doesn't make any difference what
Kind of car you have. you can keep
1t running smooth and at the same
time get more power and more miles
to the gallon out OF 1t IL you drain
the crank case every 800 or 900 miles
and put in fresh oil.
The reason for this Is apparent IL
little common sense is used. Sup
posing the crank case holds a gallon
OF oil. 1t is thick when first put in,
but as the motor runs mile after mile
the lubricating qualities diminish and
the quantity diminishes, too.
Then, when it needs another quart
of oil, the mixture is rot as good as
when II was full OF fresh oil. After
a while you add another quart, and so
on. until at last the crank case con-
tains one quart OF fresh oil and three
quarts of fluid that is thin and wa
tery. or course this is bad for the
engine. and the car doesn't perform
as IT should.
But ii the driver will drain every
drop of old oil out of the crank case
every 500 miles, or at least every 1000
miles, put in gallon OF kerosene and
run the engine idle about ten or fif-
teen minutes satisfactory results will
be obtained.

WHAT IS A "HYPOCRITE7"

A Pacific coast hotel man who
shouted "Hypocrite!" when a picture
OF President Wilson was thrown on
the screen of a motion-picture show
short time ago. was arrested
promptly and later sentenced to two
weeks imprisonment The President,
upon learning the facts. interposed in
the mans behalf and obtained his
pardon. It should be more widely
known that the Chief Magistrate of
the United States has not only a high
sense Of Justice, but a fine sense
Of humor. These two faculties,
doubtless, enabled him to see that If
all the people who, in the not re-
mote past, shouted "hypocrite" at
his picture were to be punished, equity
would demand that many of those
who are now throwing their hats into
the air and cheering in the presence
Of his portrait, should be included.
And this, of course, would not do
at all.-Christian Science Monitor.
