Important papers relating to the

With the use Of a blunt instrument
the top Of the chest had been br oxen

No Clues Found.
Up until noon today neither the
Capitol police nor District police
had secured any clues which might
lead to the arrest OF those who
smashed the window of Congressman

cedar chest.
Immediately after the theft was

came across a pile OF rubbish on the
fifth floor of the building. Pushirc c

II Is the belief OF investigator
that the theft was an inside jot
and that the papers have been re

Original Use of Spark Plugs
Was to Stop Cylinder Holes

Spark plugs have been in use al
most as long as the automobile itself.
They were invented primarily to plug
up the holes in the top of the cylin-
ders.
That's how they came to be called
plugs. When automobiles were FIRST
made, they had trouble with holes
forming in the tops Of the cylinders.
Some cars had four holes, some had
SIX, and some even had eight and
Twelve. 1t all depended on the car.
and they never knew until after the
car was finished how many plugs it
was going to need.
Along about the time they were
trying to find some way to effective
~ plug up these holes. they found
