HOosier Motor Club Issues
Statement on DETECTING
Devices Use.

Declaring that already numerous COM
plants have been made regarding glazing
lights on automobiles that have been
equipped with approved DETECTING de-
vices, a bulletin just issued by the
Hoosier Motor Club asserts that careless
ness or indifference on the part of the
car owner or on the part of the person
who applies the detecting device, are re-
sponsible for this evasion of the State
lighting regulations.
1T is very evident that a good many
owners are buying approved devices and
seeking to put them on themselves" the
statement says. I'm only rare cases will
the proper effects be obtained in this
manner, since few persons are familiar
with focusing electric bulbs in the parab-
ola refectors Of an automobile head
light. 1t is highly important that each
device be adjusted in the manner for
which its use is apprOved-and that
means following the directions that are
given regarding the focus of the bulbs
and the tilt of the lamp itself. Il is al
so important that the tests be made when
the vehicle is loaded TO its normal carry
ing capacity"
It is stated that scores of garages and
service stations in indianapolis and hun
dreds throughout the State have equipped
themselves 70 make the tests anu ad-
iustments and are so authorized by the
Secretary of State. On the other hand
it is pointed out, detecting devices. are
being sold in some cases by blacksmith
shops, groceries, agricultural stores and
others which are not equipped for th.
testing and adjustment as required by
the Secretary of State. Such service sta
tons are not so apt to do the work
properly, il is declared, solely because
they have not received the instructions
for such work as prepared by the light
ing engineer of the Secretary of States
office II is further pointed out that any
and all such stations may obtain proper
authorization on application to II. d.
NcClelland, manager OF the automobile
department OF the Secretary of States
office and at no cost to them. The test
ing service, it is understood, should be
gratis to the customer who purchases ap-
proved devices from such station
The motor club bulletin declares that
the main issue is safety on the high
ways, which every one should seek to es-
tablish and maintain and declares that
each owner, by getting out at night and
viewing his own headlights, can deter
mine whether or not he is complying
with the spirit OF the new regulations.
He thus may judge what the effect Of his
lights will be on the other fellow.

THAT Tanlac is a wonderful medicine
4 for delicate children Is conclusively
proven by the remarkable results accom-
plished in the cases Of the three children
shown in this picture.
Little Blanche Blair of Providence, Il.

McCabe. at right. age 8. OF Scranton, Pa,
gained II pounds little Richard Leary,
Jr., of Philadelphia, who was very deli
cate, is now in fine robust health. The
statements made by their parents are as
follows:
Mr.. a. NJ. Blair. residing at 20 Atwood
street, Providence, X. l., said: I'VE are
Just so happy over the change Tanlac
has made in our little girl that we can't
do or say enough to show our apprecia-
ton. She had lost nearly 20 pounds in
weight and looked so frail and weak that
her mother and l were both almost wOr-
rled sick over her condition. Since taking
Tanlac she has already gained 10 pounds,
her color is better than It ever has been
and she looks and acts like a different
girl"
Mrs Catherine McCabe. 414 Dickens
Ave, Scranton, Pa. said: THE 'fu left
my little Regina in such n bad condition
that l have no idea she would be with me
now If it hadn't been for Tanlac. It Is a
mystery to me how she lived on the little
she was eating and was so llfeless she
never even cared to play with the dolls
and toys she got mt Christmas. Since
taking Tanlac she is as hardy and well
as any child could be and has gained II
pounds in weight. l will always praise
Tanlac for restoring our little girls
health"
Richard Leary, 2342 Palethorpe St.,
Philadelphia, said There is no doubt in
my mind but that Tanlac saved my little
boys life. For two years l wouldn't have
been a bit surprised to have seen him
drop off at any time. He had stomach
trouble and many time the gas pressed
up into his chest until his heart palpi-

SOME REASONS
FOR INCREASE.


Reasons are given for some of the in
stances of increased prices. For instance,
pOultrymen say that the increase in the
price of turkey is due to the fact that
there is a shortage this year and also
that the demand for turkeys this year is
larger than last. when asked why this
was, in the face of the general condi-
ton of unemployment, poultry dealers
stated that one of the principal reasons
for the increased demand was due to the
foreign population who are ever taking
on American ideas and traditions in their
effort to become American.
The increase in the price Of cranberries
is said to be due to the fact that the
cranberry marshes of Michigan and
other States are rapidly drying up.
The failure generally OF the apple crop
in this State and elsewhere is said to be
the cause Of the increase in apple prices.
However, there are other cases of in
creased prices where no reasons for such
increases are given.
