fact that some Of them we're expelled for

BARBER POLE Way
GUIDES MOTORISTS

BALTIMORE. Sept. II. - Mayor
Broening has planned a barber pole
way" for Baltimore.
OF course, he doesn't can II that.
He calls It the "Orioie route" for the
guidance of tourists. But poles
gorgeously striped with bright orange
and shining black will be its most
conspicuous feature
1t Is true. too, that the new barber
poles will not be tho lowly affairs
that once served as indices to those
establishments where whiskers were
extracted from the human face with
out pain and later followed to OBJ
livion "the poor Indian" of the cor
ner tobacconist.
No. The new barber pole win be a
super-pole-an apotheosis OF its
former self It will be q telegraph or
telephone pole, a lamp post or any
other Kind OF pole not sufficiently
sensitive to resent being gaudily
striped with the orange and black.
Taken together. they will constitute
the "Oriole way"
All that the tourist will have TO do
on entering Baltimore to get to any
desired point will be to follow the
green line" in a New York subway.
The mayor has asked Henry q. Per-
ring. chief engineer of Baltimore. to
lay out route, not for the planting,
but for the painting of the poles.
MY idea" the mayor said, ais to
make II easy for tourists passing

Can You Identify Your Car If Numbers Are Effaced?

Do you know your own cari If 1t had been stolen and
the numbers removed by the thief would be able to
unquesuonably identify 1t If 1T was reooveredf
very interesting occurred in a Western city
during the past week. -Four machines which had been
stolen recovered simultaneously The thieves had
Clipped of all numbers and removed all dentihcation
marks.
Among the number were two Ford cars, Dodge
and one Cadillac The owners OF the Dodge and OF one
tion but the question of ownership in doubt in the
case Of the Cadillac and the remaining Ford.
The only man who had lost Cadillac in the i'm
mediate vicinity stated that he thought it was his cara
new one recently purchased but could not swear to it,
nor could he in any way give adequate Identification,
although he possessed the engine and chassis number,
but they of course obliterated from the machine
was necessary for him to send to the agent who had
sold him the car to gain possession OF it. and it was only
after great deal of trouble that the agent himself
could identify the machine In the case of the Ford the
Immediately identified his by three chiselled
ndentatons that he had puposely made the chassis
These very small but could be readily seem There
question in the minds of tn eauthores to the
ownership of this Ford
Here is angle of forethought and shows how end
less trouble be avoided by few minutes attention
to this little detail of Identification 1t probably took
the owner less than half minute to make those chseled
proved beyond any question of doubt that he
the owner of the car.
There are many places these Identification marks
be put that no thief could possibly discover them
without taking the all to pieces and looking carefully
in every place. but the owner would know exactly where
they were located.
The Identification by numbers Of engines and other parts
have long ago proved to be useless after the got into
the possession of clever thief
Don't let another moment go by until you have
placed upon your similar method of Identification
outlined above You may need them but if You
did you would bless the day that you had taken this
slight trouble
1t is surprising how many there that owners
fail to identify The reports of all large cities show
large number of that sold yearly unidentified
not merely unclaimed but that the owners them
selves failed to satisfactorily prove ownership to the
authorities.
Get busy now-take your chisel and hammer and
register your car for future Identification.

NEW GAS filter
BOON T0AUTO|STS
Scientifically Correct Device
Eliminates All Carburetor
Trouble.

A. ID. Hayworth. well known In
washinGton business circies, has Sc
cured the Eastern rights for the
Gas-co-iator. q practical device which
flters gasoline as II passes from the
tank OF a motor car to the motor.
The device, which may be mounted
under the hood or upon the instru-
ment board. 10 eompactly and sturdily
constructed OF nickeled alloy metal
and heavy steam gauge glass. and
consists OF two chambers, one which
receives the gasoline from the fuel
tank and flters II through chamois.
and the second. which receives the
Uttered gasoline.
Mr.. Hayworths story OF the Gas.
co-lator Is interesting. ~ nrst saw
a Gas-co-lator In Indianapolis" said
Mr.. Haywotth. AFTER a very trouble
some run from Washington to In
disnapoiis. due TO the low grade OF
gasoline obtained on the way, ! was
having my car gone over In an In
dianapolis garage when a Fellow
motorist called my attention TO a
Gas-co-lator he had been using with
perfect satisfaction. Although II was
the hrst device Of this kind I had ex-
amined. II struck me as being not
only practicable but Absolutely es-
sential TO satisfactory motoring.
81 was so Impressed with the value
OF the Gasco-lator that Immediately
got into communication with the
manufacturers and secured the East
ern rights. The Gas-co-iator which
had installed on my car In Indian
apolis gave me perfect motor per-
formance throughout the remainder
OF my tour. which in many cases took
me over the worst roads Of the
Northwest"
II have absolute confidence in the
value of the Gas-co-lator, and I know
from actual experience that the de-
vice is an absolute necessity to every
motorfst who wants to enjoy perfect
driving, which cannot be had when
using unnltered gasoline"
Needless to say, the Gas-co-lator is
In capable hands. and eliminating. as
1t does. the many engine troubles due
to the feeding OF non-volatile matter
ever present In the uniltered com.
mercial gasoline OF today to motors
built to function on clean fuel, should
prove boon to motorists who desire
happy driving and to the business
man who realizes the necessity of
transportation uninterrupted by
motor trouble.
1t Is conceded BY motorists and
engineers that the use of Uttered
gasoline will eliminate 30 per cent
OF combustion and spark plug trouble

BRAKE SHOULD Be USED.

In order to become familiar with

is advisable for motorists to use the

we was due in Niles and he looked
in a book and said we was due there
at 6:35 so I asked him why did he

he said:
We'll, II you was conducting "a train
that hadn't never got no place when
1t was due how could you remember
when it was due anywheres?' If you

they was freight comeing in the
