INVESTIGATION OF
 OSER'S ELIGIBILITY

Chicago, June Judicial investi- gation of Max OserS eligibility and qualifications as husband for Ma thiIde Mccormick, is the next step in the international romance of John D. Rockefeller's IT year old granddaugh- ter and the friction between her par entS.
 Today Matr1ilde has guardian who is said to be ready to give his consent to her marriage to the Swiss horse man. who was her riding master dur ing her girlhood days in the Alps. Her father, Harold F. Mccormick, was accepted by his divorced wife as a suitable guardian for their daugh- ter, with one exception. The horse man of Zurich is the exception and Saturday Judge Henry Horner of the prCibate court is expected to decide whether N1axs 2l7 years seniority over the age of his prospective bride and his comparative poverty furnish suffi- cient grounds to grant an injunction restraining MT. Mccormick from giv- ing his consent to the international marriage.
 At the suggestion of the court and the concurrence of counsel who en- gagged in verbal tilt yesterday over the petition, MT. Mccormick has agreed to withhold consent of the marrage at least until Saturday.

Seney Springs Meeting With
 Great Success

The expansion springs make it no longer necessary for the expensive job of reboring of your cylinders You will not have to have oYer-sized caused by this reboring. These springs are one piece, made by a pat ented process that absolutely guar anzees the uniform tension of the engine comes to- The tempering of these springs is what has made them SO practical
 Many months were spent by MT. Seney in an endayor to overcome this one obstacle Many processes were involved and many mighty good springs were the result but still not good enough for the Expansion on the market Not to be discourag- ed in this desire MT. Seney kept on and at last was rewarded by receiy- ing tempering formula from an old time spring expert
 With this formula spring is made that will stand the heat many more times greater than any engine heat could ever attain and still not lose it's resi1iency- The Seney expansion springs fit in back of the piston rings cylinder head and the escape of gas into the crank case. this gives the engine more power and prevents all other troubles caused by leaky or weak piston rings
 They are made fin every size to fit every make of car. they are simple to install so that every car owner can do f1 himself. The only fault with this idea in the past has been the lack of ability to withstand the heat tesE and this is just what MT. Seney has overcome and this is what makes the Seney Expansion Springs superior to all other makes. The Seney Expan- sion Spring factory is located at 327 Cannon street. Bridgeport
