INCINERATOR
IS ORDERED
Council Approves Addition
of Davis Plant for Gar
bage Disposal
ONLY ONE VOTE
AGAINST PROJECT

City Council last night. with but
one dissenting vote. voiced its au-
proval Of the plan OF the Board OF
Health to purchase 75-ton ca
pacity garbage plant OF the Davis
Garbage Furnace Company, OF Ian
caster. Pa, at the price Of $4,000.
bringing to close question that
has been a frequent subject of dis
cusson and the cause of numerous
trips OF Councilmen to see various
plants in operation.
The matter was brought to the at
tention OF Council by the reading OF
a favorable report on the suggestion
from the public health and finance
committees OF Council, advocating
the purchase OF a 75-ton capacity
plant inEead OF a 1OO-ton plant as
the Board OF Health had recon-
mended.
Following the reading OF the. re-
port motion was made to notify the
Board OF Health OF the approval OF
Council, which brought forth nu-
merous explanations or members
who had previously opposed the pur-
chase Of any additional plant until
the present plant was given a test
with wrapped garbage, which five
members had pledged themselves 10
vote for first, last and all the time.
Councilman Abrahams. who had
previously advocated giving the Nye
plant a test with the wrapped gar
bage. stated that he would not OPP
pose the expenditure OF s75,OOO foi
the purchase Of an additional plan
as he felt that Council had already
come in for enough criticism from
the present condition Of affairs.
Councilman Muivena explained his
vote on the ground that the City
Council can not disregard the Boart
OF Health suggestion even though il
desired very much at this tipe tS

would vote in favor OF the new plant.
Councilman McManus explained
his vote by reciting the suggestion Of
the Board Of Health for the pur-
chase Of Decarie plant, the re-
lection OF the plan by City Council
and the latest recommendation that
the city spend $4,000 for plant OF
the Davis type. He also said that
he believed the present (Nye) plant
would burn as much wrapped gar
bage as the Davis plant.
Councilman McNabb said that he
would not stand in the way OF the
proposition to purchase Davis
plant, although he personally ia
vored the Decarie type. Referring
TO the change in attitude Of some

Act 21ESterior. Terrace Garden Ho-
tel. Long Branch.
This musical comedy featuring the
famous Jiggs and Maggie OF cartoon
fame opened three-day engage
ment at the Playhouse last nigkt.
While the comedy IS almost devoid
of plot as most Of its kind usually
are still II is productive OF laughs.
The comedy has been interspersed
with bits OF music here and there.
There are some good voices in the
company and nearly every member
OF the cast sings solo. Miss Dud-
ley, as Maggie. caused amusement
with her son. Typical Tipperary %
and again in the second act with a
speciality song. Both were we'll sung.
and aside from using TIE rolling pin
Maggie proved she could sing. Will
liam Wolfe. as Clarence Jiggs Ma
honey, lawyer and nephew of
Jlggs. sang his songs in a pleasing
manner. A feature OF the musical
part OF the play was the violin spe-
elalty by BERN Green. who took the
part Of Captain Twitters, an inn
poster.
Jiggs and Maggie have outstand-
ing parts In putting the cartoon
comedy over While the action in
the first act is rather slow, the cast
livens things up a bit as the play
progresses TIE comedy will be

What measure can an owner take
to protect his automobile from thieves?
Not great deal, unfortunately, for
many things which would help reduce
thievery are things about which he as
an individual has nothing to say The
things that he can and should do
are so simple that they are self-evi-
dent. First, in buying a car inquire
whether or not it Is equipped with a
locking device approved by the insur-
ance people. If you are installing a
new lock on an old car make the same
inquiry when buying the lock. There
are locks and locks; some of them
can be broken and manipulated by an
expert thief in minute or two.
Many Standard Locks.
Others really protect the car, and
there are about fifteen standard de-
vices. OF these, three lock the trans
mission, three the steering wheel and

Most Machines Are Nearly Alike
and Only Experts Can Distin-
guish Different Makes.
TURN ATTENTION TO DESIGN
One Good Way Is to Observe Name
Plate on Front of Car-Hub Caps
Offer Means of Identification,
as They Are Marked.

"How can I tell the different makes
of automobiles" is a question often
asked by the man who walks, observed
New York Sun writer.
The best answer to the question 1t
seems is, you can't"
There was a time, some years ago,
when there were comparatively few au-
tomObiles, and these were readily dis
tinguishable.
Those were the days when the au-
tomObile manufacturers were concen-
trating their efforts on the improve
difference how beautiful cars were
made if they refused to go. Their eff
forts were successful; the automobile
engine today is as near perfection as
human products can get SO the manu-
facturers, the last year or so, have
turned their attention more and more
to design.
It was natural that there should be
extensive adoption of some of the fea-
lures Of foreign made automobiles, for
these cars had always been superior in
design to American-made cars, great
deal Of hard work being involved in
their manufacture. 1t was also natural
that American manufacturers should
take the opportunity to carry out their
own ideas of design. The one result
has been to make all cars more alike.
Tell by Name Plate.
The one best way to tell one car
from another Is by the name plate OH
the radiator front Of nearly every car.
This is nearly always small and incon.
spicuous, and when a car is passing at
a speed of 20 or 80 miles an hour 1t is
almost impossible to identify all cars
in this manner. Hub caps offer anoth-
er means of Identification, as the hub
caps of virtually all cars are not only
distinctive, but are also usually
marked with some simple mark of
Identification.
There are cars that are distinctive
enough in design to be identified in
glance There are cars of the sport
ing" type low and ''rakish" and sug-
gest,ve of speed the sight of such
car suggests only two or three possi-
bilities.
Cars of Homely Type.
There are cars of the "homely"
type, of squat and serviceable appear
ance; when such a design is caught
sight of only two or three names come
to mind. There are the obviously ex-
pensive cars, cars which suggest lux
ury in their every line, In the acces-
sories, In the flash of nickel mount
ings. A car Of that description might
be any one Of half-dozen cars the
aristocrats of the automobile world.
But outside of these distinctive
types there are many cars, mostly of
the middle price range, that are ex-
tremely difficult to identify.

one the manifold. The others are
various types of ignition locks. One
locks hood and ignition and another
gasoline and ignition.
Make Record of Numbers.
Finally, If you have hopes Of getting
your machine back after 1t has been
stolen you should have a record OF
all the engine and factory numbers
that appear on it. Best of all, there
should be secret Identification num-
Der somewhere that the thieves cannot
find to change or remove. One or two
manufacturers have a private fdenti-
fication number on the chassis In pO-
stion known only to themselves, and
it would be a great help If more man
ufacturers would take this precauticn.
But as it is, most builders can offer
little help in identifying stolen car,
and the owner must depend largely up
on himself.

You Auto Know

That the slightest lack of
alignment in the steering wheels
will cause tires to wear out long
before their allotted mileage
has been secured. This trouble
Is usually due to slight collisions
or even failure to avoid holes
in the road. The strain bends
the equalizing rod and the
wheels are thrown out of true
possibly not enough to be seen
with the unaided eye but 8p-
parent when measurements are
taken. AS a result of this, one
Or both tires grind" with every
revolution of the wheel and the
wear comes on the portion of
the tire which is not protected
by the heavy tread.
The remedy and also the pre-
vention of this Is to have the
front wheels inspected regularly
and to keep a constant watch
upon the tires to see that they
!, are wearing evenly and that
this wear is being taken up by
the tread. Reputable tire manu-
facturers guarantee their prod
uct for the minimum and not
the maximum number Of miles
which they ought to deliver and
the vast majority of failures to
secure this mileage are due to
the carelessness of drivers, rath-
er than to faults in the tires
themselves.
