department. OF the Lexington Motor
Company's plant at ConneTsVille, Ind.
The motor Of every Lexington car
is subjected to the ''stethoscope test"
before the car is permitted to leave
the factory. In the same manner that
the physician employs this instru-
ment in examining the heart-the
power plant-of a patient, for 'smuT-
murs," the expert tester examines the
power plant Of the Lexington car.
With the ends of the Stethoscope
tubes in his ears, the mechanic "goes
over" the motor with precision. Just
as the doctor oftentimes puts the per-
son being examined through certain
physical exercises, the motor IS put
through its various PAGES and speeds,
the tester meanwhile sounding il out
with his instrument.
If the results Of the examination
are not absolutely satisfactory, the
tester diagnoses the trouble and
the remedy.
The stethoscope tests in the Lex
ington plant are conducted in what is
known as the silent room" This
room, though in the heart of the big
factory, is insulated In such a man
ner as to be practically sound proof.
There, with the aid of the stethoscope,
the trained ear of the mechanic can
detect the slightest unnatural sound

and at the same time add 70 the
general efficiency Of the municipal

Better. however, / think II would
be for the memorial to take the form
of a roadway or boulevard. Let the
memorial be some splendid drive

dowed for it's perpetuation. That
would be a splendid Testimonial and
one that could be widely enjoyed by
everyone. Moreover II would be most

A pair of white trousers led to the
arrest and arraignment before Magis-
trate Joseph F. Schwab, in the West
Side court, yesterday, of Raymond D.
Dixon, twenty-five, mechanic, of 216
West Fifty-third Street, charged with
grand larceny. He was arrested by
Detective Clarence Daily, of the West
Forty-seventh Street station, after Mrs.
Evangeline Henry, Of the Hotel Bristol,
Wife of United States army officer,
now on his way home from France,
had screamed that there was q man
in her room.
Mrs. Henry was unable to see the
mans face, but she noticed that he
wore a pair of white flannel trousers
Her screams aroused another guest of
the hotel, who saw man wearing
white trousers disappear into a room
further down the hall. Detective DAILY
entered this room, which was Dixon's,
and, he says, he found jewels and trav-
ellers' checks amounting to several
hundred dollars, which were identified
by Mrs Henry as hers. Dixon pleaded
not guilty, and was held in $500 bail
for action by the grand jury.
