Illinois. regardless OF wording or
Interpretation to attempt which was
held outside the Jurisdiction Of the
lower court.
Direction of the supreme court
was set forth in those general
terms. common to the higher court,
and the argument hinged upon what
should be specified in the decision
granting the relief requested by the
complainant.
The complainant in the original
hill asked that the county be re-
strained from erecting a Jail on the
court house tract, designated on
tile plat as a public square, and
later, taking advantage of the Igoe
law, petitioned that the county be

street from the proposed new edi-

USES MOTOR GAR n
 INSPECT RAILROADS

From all quarters of the \. country come reports of new uses f6 which motor cars are being put in various lines of commerce and industry All are interesting as revealing fresh fields in which the motor car creates a high CT degree of efficiency by saving time or labor, or both.
 Word of one of the latest develop ments comes from Savannah. Ga where a railroad superintendent has abandoned the regulation division in- spection equipment of locomotive and coach in favor of a motor car. W. H. Wright, superintendent of the Sa- Vannah division of the Central rail- road of Georgia, has an automobile fitted with steel Hanged railroad car wheels, and is free to traverse his division independently of steam power.
 This unique inspection car is a reg ulation Dodge Brothers motor car. especially equipped in the railroad shops In addition to the railroad wheels, it has been supplied with the various accessories necessary to a railroad mans work. It's test runs have proved so satisfactory that other divisions may be furnished with simi- lar cars
 When the motor car is in use, it is given a schedule of running time and number, just as though it were a regular or special train passing over the line. It not only affords a more enjoyable and comfortable means of travel for the superintendent and his party, but it affords a better view of track and road bed, and is under direct control of the superintendent as to speed. It also eliminates the neces- sity of diverting for inspection tours, railroad equipment which can be put to other uses.

 TIME PER AUTO

America, prior to her entrance into tion," said MT Hotchkiss. But now We have stopped to analyZe the food we eat, the clothes We wear and most important of all, the time we can save.
 "Belore the war produced unheard of conditions, it is not surprising that people had paid little attention to these matters. Neither is it to be wondered at that we had never given much con- sideration to the automobile as great time saving factor in the industrial world any more than we had thought fully considered whether we would use one or two Jumps of sugar in our coffee.
 ''NoW-every ounce of energy and every second is vital, and every auto mobile which is being used to conserve l this energy of loyal Americans and al i low them to do more in less time is essential.
 "To determine just how automobiles are assisting in the conservation of i time and energy, the Willys- Overland l Co. recently made an investigation 1 based upon every Overland car which was sold in, 1917.
 This survey inquired into the uses i to which every one of these autoIno- piles were being put. The result of this investigation, when charted showed some surprising figures. It indicated that over so per cent of automobile use is for business purposes.
 ''The next great fact, gained at a glance, was that the men whose busi- ness depended upon covering a great l dQ11 If in Q gh of ii were it's largest purchasers.
 This investigation showed automo- piles at work in almost every classifi- cation of industry and if this is true of Overland automobiles it is only log ical to suppose that the same condition exists generally.
 On the farms automobiles are doing wonderful work. In the business com munities they are speeding up produC- tion. Assume for the sake of argu- ment that every automobile in service saves an hour a day, which is conser- VatiVe. Then community having 1000 automobiles would be 125 working days ahead every day in time saved Car rying these figures to the 5,000,0 900 reg istered automobiles in this country gives us the astounding total of 625, O0( working days which the nation is ahead every day through the use of aU- tomobiles. Or compute this into man power and it gives America the extra service of an army of 625,000 men a work every day. Do we need this extr5 effort now?
 People are learning more daily about the motor car as a time save, : and they are taking advantage of thi. knowledge snd applying it more arC , more strictly to time saving and bus mess uses"

DE PALMA AND TWIN
 SIX PACKARD PROVE
 G0QD COMBINATION

It has come 10 pass that every time Ralph De Palma and his famous Pack ard twin six appear on a speedway Old Man Worlds Record makes a dive for boOmprOof dugOut, but not always is he spry enough to avoid a bump Not content with capturing two out of three 100mile races this season. De Palma has been looping seconds off established records with brutal per sistency.
 In addition to winning all but one of four events at the Chicago speedway. July 2Sth, he knocked the props out from under the ten and twenty mile marks, setting new worlds records at 5:24 4-5 and 10:50 2-5 respectively. Just five weeks prior to this he made a record twO-mile lap on the same track at 116 miles per hour.
 Arrayed against him in this latest card were Chevrolet. Resta Ruray Mulford and Vail, five of the world S most formidable pilots, yet, with the exception of the 30-mile race in which Chevrolets Frontenac came in one second behind the Packard. and the | first sprint of two miles from a stand ing start. which the high strung Resta i Special captured. at no time did the 1 alrplane twin-siX appear to be crowded | on the contrary. the regularity witt 1 which De Palma's racy, cream coIoreC | mount lead the field became almost monotonous. The Packard was easily l the favorite in the fifth race. a fifty. mile event. but this had to be called off after the second lap because of z ! thunderstorm
 In spite of the terrific heat and the killing pace no tire trouble whatevel marred De Palma's perfect tire record of the season, which he attributes 1T | port to the design of hc car plus the ! smooth action of his twin-six engine Tremendous reserve power was alWay! apparent in the airplane speedster, bu

NEW LOCATION WILL! BE WELL ARRANGED

The Phoenix Auto Clearing House formerly of West Van Buren street which recently moved to 233-235 West Washington street. has gained a cen tral location which is proving produc- tive of much increase in business.
 Willard Lyngar, manager of the Clearing House. intends making a com plete change in the appearance of his new show rooms as fast as labor and materials can be obtained. The two rooms which he now occupies will be thrown into one, and will be complete ly remodeled throughout. This will enable him to handle his large busi- ness to better advantage, and when completed he will have one of the best used car salesrooms in the city. All overhauling and painting will be done in an outside shop, leaving the room Tor show and sale purposes only.
