The proposed s15o,ooo Memorial
hall of the American Legion, to be
built in Topeka as a tribute to the
Shawnee county men who served in
the war and to be devoted to their
use, is a combination of beauty and
utility.
The hall has been roughly outlined
in design furnished by the firm of
J. c. Holland & Son, architects, and
this sketch submitted by them is in
accord with the ideas of the legion
aires. 1t is of the classic Greek type.
The center of the building, where the
entrance is located, is a modified Ionic
style.
A tentative plan of the interior has
also been made. The entrance is to
be in a large hall, dedicated to the
memory of those who died in service.
At the right and left of this hall will
be trophy rooms, one for Civil war
trophies, and the other for souvenirs
of the European war. The audi

If the habit of carefulness shown
by a truck driver to his horses when
his vehicle was horse-drawn should be
continued in the same degree when he
drives a truck, many economies would
result. When a driver found that his
horses hoof had picked up stone,
going on, but stopped Immediately and
removed the stone. He knew that to
neglect the stone meant serious in
jury to the horse and a consequent
loss to himself. Solid tires on trucks
are as likely to pick up stones as are
horses hoofs- The stones force their
way into the rubber and sink deeper
with each revolution of the wheel. To
permit them to remain means an in
jury to the tire, which will increase
rapidly. The proper course of pro-
cedure under such circumstances is to
remove the stone and cut away the
rough edges.

BEWARE AUTO DEALER WHO
TRADES HIS HEAD OFF"

Others adopt the plan of turning all
used car dealers over to an outside
company. The customer takes that
concerns valuation or attempts to
dispose of the car himself. But the
new car dealer doesn't want to handle
the transaction.
Most dealers, however, make ap-
praisals on cars brought to them and
allow the appraised price on the new
car wanted. 1t is in the prices allowed
that the dealers differ. All these diff
ferences, as we have shown. are ex-
tremely important and significant to
the motor car owner.
The automobile buyer wants dis
tinctly to remember that any margins
between reasonable and unreasonable
allowances on used cars do not disap-
pear into thin air. They have to be
taken care of in some way. Either
the dealer pays for them or the Gus
toner does.
A dealer who consistently loses mon
- on trade-ins or cuts prices down to
the point where his profits give him
meager return or none at all isn't 60
ing to be able to stay in business very
long. He simply can not do it. That
leaves it up to the customer to figure
out really just who pays the bills.
The good general rule is that when
you find a dealer who offers you for
your used car more than a reasonable
value, look into the offer carefully.
Do not jump at it as II he were max
ing you a present of something. The
chances are all against him handing
you something-that you really want.
Second Inland value is a fixed figure,
based on the actual worth of the ma
chine, determined by those shrewdest
brains in the automobile business, the
regular used car dealers. The best
cars to buy new are those makes

Two corridors. on either side of the
