CLEVELAND FIGHTS
AUTOBANDIIS WITH
BIG MOTOR CARS
Speedy Automobiles oi
Incalculable Value in
Combating Outlaws.

The Cleveland. Ohio. police de-
partment. which occupies = sotAble
place among the more eficienf
metropolitan police forces OF the
country. finds In the fast and pow
erful motor car its most effective
weapon against the bandit, gangs
which have terrorized many Of the
larger cities during the last year.
In fact. 1t is pointed out that
due to the departments highly or
ganized motor equipment. Cleveland.
In spite of its great size ana In
dustriai activity. has been remark
ably free from those criminal out
breaks which are constantly en-
dangering the welfare Of her sister
cities.
The burden of the responsibility
for safeguarding the lives and
property interests Of Cleveland citi-
zens would seem to fail largely on
the members of the police depart
mentsi flying squadron. which is
equipped exclusively with big Peer
less Eight cars.
For example, q call recently went
into Central Station Of bank hold
up at Ninty- street and Lorain
avenue. In less time than II takes
to tell about IL fiye armed police
men had jumped into the motor car
and with shrieking siren tore
through the downtown streets ar
irving at the scene OF the hoidup
three minutes after the call had
been turned in--covering distance
of nearly three miles.
Another recent attempt at holding
up q neighborhood bank was frus-
trated by the arrival of the flying
squadron before the bandits had
time to pack their booty into bags
and get out Of the bank itself. The
cashier. It developed. had stepped
on an electric alarm while he was
handing out currency to the hodup
men, with the result that the ON
GERS were there almost before the
bandits had turned from the
cashiers window.
Dependable motor cars with lots
OF speed are more effective than
guns for the police In combating
modern crime" said one of Cieye-
lands police motor squad. "Tt is
largely a question of speed because
as rule the bandits are themselves
driving automobiles and the police
simply must have q faster and a
more powerful car than the average
machine which might fall into the
hands OF the criminals"
For several years the Cleveland
police have standardized on Peer
less cars and many are the stories
OF extraordinary performances which
they relate. Unusual freedom from
carbon troubles. lack of motor ad-
justment and body repairs are
among the tributes which are be-
slowed upon the product
Today there Is a Peerless car in
the Central Station barn which IL
Is claimed has been driven more
than $4,000 miles without requiring
any carbon removal whatever and
the police insist that its perform
ance is not at all unusual for Peer
less.
Several Peerless cars are also
favorites in the Cleveland FIRE de-
partment. among them being some
1919 and 1914 models which are
still rendering yeoman service de-
spite well-nigh unbelievable per-
formance tests to which they have
been subjected during the last eight
and ten years.

Tires in Jamaica.

American tires are popular in
the Island OF Jamaica quitting the
climate better and withstanding the
rough roads more successfully than
foreign makes.
1t is estimated that 10000 tires
are sold annually on the island.
nearly all of the principal American
makes being represented. The cord
tire is gaining in favor rapidly. with
indications that II will soon be used
altogether on the rear wheels of
the smaller cars.

one. drove his car on the average
Tor Ia years. OF course the econ
omy we have all been practicing en-
ters into IT, but that was probably
not the dominating factor. 1t is a
very evident and potent demonstra-
ton of two things, namely, the
realization of automotive equipment
in the general public's mind, it's
utility. that utility being sent into
the minds of those who realize what
good roads are and what they mean
to community, to the transporta-
tion not only of people and of COM
modities of all kinds; and, secondly,
1t is the increasing knowledge that
the car owner has of his particular
car, irrespective Of what II may be.
That. increasing knowledge is en-
abling him to give more intelligent
and better care to his motor vehicle.
and thereby prolong it's life This
replacement. however. needs the
general inspection Of an overhaul
shop. In this repair shop we must
have. even more than today, a more
thorough knowledge, not of the
ability to handle a wrench and to
put nut on cap-screw at the
proper tension, but a knowledge of
why Ii should be at a certain ten
sion. A study of the result of the
past must be the study of cause of
the present and future; and a
knowledge of the cause will natur-
ally bring about the proper result.
This knowledge will be reflected in
the operation of traffic on our
streets and will inure to the safety
of those who are not operating. a
very important item. Care and con-
sideration for the other fellow on
the streets will eliminate many of
the difficulties of those people who
think there are sidewalks in the
middle of the streets as well as
lamp posts!"

New Clutch Designed.

The clutch designed for Cadillac
Is unique because II uses no oil
at all. Fifteen smooth steel discs
alternately lined with asbestos
facing and the 300-pound pressure
of a nickel steel coil spring trans
nit the engine power through
gearset to rear axle. II Is de-
clared that the ease and de-
pendence of the performance of the
Cadillac clutch is often the de-
Gliding factor in a woman drivers
choice of Cadillac.

Burnham Has $4,000 Fire.

Fire Tuesday morning, Nov. 7, COM
pletely destroyed the two story building
owned and occupied BY Frank B. Brown
as a garage with living apartment on the
second floor and the Free Baptist church
located on the east side of the Sebssticook
river in Burnham village. BY hard work
on the part of volunteer fire fighters the
residence of Edward w. Crawford next
beyond the church was saved. The total
loss is estimated to be about sl2, 900.
The fire was discovered about 8. Is a. m
by MI Brown and his son who were work
ing on car in the yard between the gar
age and the church and is thought to have
originated near a small stove in the garage
part of the building The flames spread
rapidly and there was no opportunity to
remove any of the contents, tools to the
value of $1,000 being lost. A car in the
basement was run out None of the
household furnishings or clothing were
saved from the living apartments on the
second floor, Mrs. Brown having barely
time to get down the stairs before the
building was in flames.
The church situated next to the garag.
was soon in flames, fire catching on the
roof and despite the efforts of the men it
was impossible to save the structure.
The interior furnishings were nearly all
removed including the memorial window
in memory of Lizzie and Hadassah j.
Murray.
The house of Edward w. Crawford Just
east of the church was set on fire by
sparks dropping on the roof but these
were extinguished and the building was
protected by wet blankets, water being
brought from the river by bucket bri-
gade and the coverings kept wet.
Sparks were carried to the west side of
the river and the stable of Frank Miles in
the lower part OF the village on the Clin-
ton road caught fire but was discovered
by the train crew of the Belfast train and
put out without much damage.
A call was sent to Waterville for assis-
tance and the new Stutz motor combina-
tion chemical and pumping truck res
ponded akng the run in 30 minutes. but
the firemen arrived too late to be OF any
assistance.
Mr.. Brown estimates his loss at Sc, 900,
with insurance of S4, 500. The loss on the
church is placed at $1,000 with an in
surance of $500.
The church was built about 60 years age
but was extensively repaired about
eighteen years ago and was an up-to-date
and attractive edifice and it's loss is much
regretted by the community. Ways and
means are being discussed for rebuilding.

An Old Time Revival

A genuine old fashioned revival of re-
ligious interest is being developed in the
meetings being held in the Methodist
church, under the direction of Miss
Frances B. Adams, Scottish evangelist.
Already Miss Adams has held services
for five weeks continuously and there is
still no let-up in interest or attendance.
The large congregation which filled the
church last Sunday evening listened to q
stirring sermon on "The Two Ways"
and, at the appeal of the evangelist,
thronged the altar, sobered, thoughtful
and moved to prayer; a stirring sight in
these days of comparative indifference to
the old fashioned religious appeal.
That much good is being done is evil
denced in the renewal of old time pledges
and in tie appearance of many young
people identifying themselves for the first
time with definite church relationship.
Parties from many quarters still con-
tinue to attend these services; last Sum
day delegations from Palermo and Liberty
being among those present The meetings
are drawing to close, however, and early
attendance is necessary If the spirit of the
campaign is to be caught. The schedule
for this week follows:
