no disgrace to the construction and abil-
ity OF the truck n It had required con-
siderable overhauling and revamping be-
fore Il was sent out on any other work.
AS q matter Of fact, I am told. the
truck came through In such splendid
shape that nothing was needed for Il
except such a going over as any, truck
should have once year.
FOR this truck to be sent back to
New York again and there be sold TO a
truck user for every day work speaks
even more for the trucks ability and for
It's stamina. And on top, OF that TO have
the selling price only 5000 below the
original list price OF the truck is the
most convincing evidence OF the regard
In which GMC trucks are held every
where by truck users who know. or
course what sets the price on a used
truck Is the value that remains in the
truck. estimated In the light Of expert
ence and In q survey of the trucks me
chanical condition.
What a used motor truck will do for
the buyer as against what a new truck
will do determines the difference in the
price of the used truck and the new
model. And for that reason. the smaller
the difference, the better the used truck.
While the example of the transcontinen-
tai GMC Is a mighty good case in point.
the same condition prevails all over the
country. GMC trucks are not often on
the market as used cars Their owners
seldom have occasion to sell them be-
cause GMC trucks give service, year af-
ter year, and are able to compete with
the newer models in efficiency and abil-
ity to do hard tasks.
"Personally I believe that the stand
ing motor vehicle has in the used car
market is often the best evidence of Its
real standing. In other words. the num-
Der Of motor trucks of any make for
sale as used trucks and the price is a
good indication of the way these trucks
are performing for business men and OF
their value In terms of longevity"

in all probability it is due to the man
who mounts the tires. Tube plnching
is the easiest thing to do IL you do not
handle the tire tools properly. A flap
that is not even may cause tube pinch.
The tale would not do it.
My engine runs as though there is a
knock in It but I have had the crank
case cover off and the repair men tell
me the rod bearings are o. X. The
pistons and cylinders are all right and
there is no carbon. The knock is only
present at certain times, which leads me
to think that the crankshaft rear bear
ing is worn on the ends and also slight
ly on the surfaces. Is it all right to run
with such bearing and wait until
colder weather to do a complete over
haul?
1t is all right to run for a few hundred
miles, The trouble is, that as the bear
ing wears 1t throws the clutch out of
alignment more and more and also af-
fects the timing gears, the connecting
rods, &C. 1t should be attended to as
soon as possible.
My engine smokes badly and 1 know
that the rings are about ready for re-
placement. The cylinders are all right.
but 1 hate to tear down now in the
best time of the touring season. Would
heavy oil tend to stop the smoking and
is there any chance of damaging the
cylinders?
Heavy oil will reduce slapping and
also has a tendency to reduce the smok-
Ing because less OF the oil gets to the
combustion chamber. The cylinders
will not be damaged.
1 have heard that IL a small piece of
bent pipe is used to screw the spark plug
into that much plug trouble can be
stopped in my Ford. What's in the idea
The small piece of pipe is an extension
which is supposed to prevent oil from
getting on the plug. 1t works we'll in

The short circuiting Of a spark plug
that causes misfres is seldom at the
shark gap. Oily surfaces of the porce-

products which invite the current to
avoid the gap and prevent the spark
jump that Is needed to get ignition. The

Divorce Is Granted
After Efforts Fail
For Reconciliation

Mrs. Marie Hazen was granted a
divorce from George Hazen by
Judge Troup, sitting in divorce
court yesterday. The case was heard
last Thursday and attorneys for
both husband and wife pleaded with
the couple to try to be reeonciled.
They have three little children.
Both attorneys agreed with Judge
Troup that neither the husband nor
the wife has done anything for
which a divorce should be granted.
The wife allowed her mind to be
filled with groundless suspicious, the
attorney for Mr.. Hazen declared.
She testified that one Sunday af-
ternoon she saw him in Forest
Lawn cemetery talking to a young
woman. He had gone out to place
flowers on his mothers grave, he
said.
Attorneys and Mr.. Hazen,s en-
ployers have worked for months to
bring about reconciliation, but in
vain.
The court ordered him to pay $85
a month for the support of the chill
dren. He has been paying $82. SO
voluntarily since they parted several
months ago.
Mr.. Hazen is given permission to
visit the children at reasonable in

100 Bolermakers and
Their Helpers Strike
For Higher Wages

More than 100 boilermakers and
their helpers struck yesterday to
enforce their demand for shorter
hours and INCREASED pay. Helpers
are demanding fiat increase OF
from 10 to IS cents an hour while
boilermakers ask for a 10 to IL
cent increase hodrly.
All work in two boiler-making
companies Of this city, the Drake
Williams Mount company and the
c. G. Johnson Boiler company, is
practically at standstill as q result
OF the walkout, according to w. V.
Angel, district organizer for the
international Brotherhood of Boiler
makers, Iron Ship Builders and Hell
pers of America.
The men also demand an eight
hour day instead of nine hours they
have been working, prior ITO the
strike.
The mems demands were made
known ABOUT mOntn ago. Slnce
that time. several conferences have
been held between officials of the
companies and representatives of
the employees, but no satisfactory
basis for settlement has been
reached.
According to Mr.. Angel no at
tempt has been made by the two
companies to settle the differences.
They refuse to deal with the men in
body or to consider their de-
mands, he stated.
According to c. G. Johnson, head
of the Johnson Boiler company, it
would be impossible to comply
with what he considers the extrava-
CANT demands made by the strikers.
He stated that he would refuse to
recognize or deal with the union,
since it was his intention to run his
own shop.

Careless Shampooing,
Spoils the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking it's best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. It makes an
abundance Of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly, and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get Muisified cocoanut
oil shampoo at any pharmacy, it's
very cheap, and a few ounces will
supply every member Of the family
for months.-Adv.

WEBSTER GIVEN
THREE YEARS IN
FEDERAL PRISON
Man Accused Of Using Mails
Ito Defraud Must Serve
Time; Wife Sen
fenced to Jail.

Y F. c. Webster, exponent Of the
fake bust developer business .oper-
ated in IS of-the largest cities in The
country, PLEADED guilty in federal
court yesterday to the charge of
using the mails to defraud, and was
sentenced to three years in the state
penitentiary by Judge Woodrouan.
Mrs. F. c. Webster also pleaded
guilty to the same charge, and was
sentenced to three months in jail.
Mr.. and Mrs. Webster, who were
credited with many aliases. were in
dicted by the federal grand jury last
week.
Until today Mrs. Webster stead
lastly denied any knowledge of her
husbands operations. The Web
sters arrived in Omaha severa!
weeks ago from Dallas, Tex, where
a humber of people are said to have
bought half interests in their fake
bust developer business.
Two Omaha women were about to
buy interests in the business when
the Websters were arrested. A dia-
mond ring, valued at over 81 900 was
found on Webster's person, which
was the property OF Dallas, Tex,
woman. 1t was returned to the
owner.
Webster wrote letters to postmas-
tiers throughout the country asking
some trivial question and inclosing
stamped envelopes for a reply.
When the reply was received, he
substituted fake orders for bust de-
velopers, which he showed custo-
mers as proof of the thriving bust
ness they were about to invest in.
