RUSSELL MALLOY| ENJOYS FREEDOM
Given Temporary Parole By Governor And Is Attend
 ing School
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU !
 THE AGE-HERAID ! ATnukComarv Ala Nov. 2A |


 Russell Mslloy of Woodlawn, sen a statutory offense, is enjoying his liberty and is reported to be attend ing school at or near Birmip gham. It was learned today that Gov. William w Brandon had extended the tenn porary parole granted Malloy for an additional 60 days. making a total of four months that Malloy will be al lowed to be at large. without con sidering, of course, any further leaves of absence, which may be granted when the present period ex- pires.
 The Malloy case created a wide spread sensation in Alabama, which continued until interest in the case was apparently abandoned by general consent several months ago.
 Malloy was attending an Epworth league meeting when he was charged with committing the crime which was supposed to have cost him 25 years in prison after the jury had rendered its verdict. The girl in the case, resident of Florence, was also attending the Epworth league meet ing. Malloy was tried in Limestone circuit court and given 25 years. It was claimed by his friends that he did not get a fair trial, and the case was appealed to the supreme court, which upheld the decision of the lower court and the 25-year sentence
 MaHoys case was then taken to the pardon board, before which pro longed Hearings were held several months ago, which also attracted much attention.

 Parole Temporary.
 Malloy was given his liberty on a temporary parole by Governor Bran don, after a brief period spent in Kilby prison, being allowed a 60-day parole September 22 It was learned today that this temporary parole, which recently expired, has been ex- tended by Governor Brandon for an- other 60 days, and 1t is stated that Malloy Is utilizing his temporary ab- sence from the penitentiary in get ting, education. One of the main ar guments in his behalf at the hearing before the pardon board was that his education would be neglected If he served even a part of the 25 years sentence imposed upon him by the Limestone county jury.
 The pardon board has never made a report on the Malloy case and it is not known what is the attitude of members of the board. Action by the pardon board would not necessarily mean anything in any case, as the governor has authority to grant pa roles. either temporary or permanent, regardless of action by the board

that impaired vision is greater

argument because the State of Con-
nectcut has just issued a report
showing that automobile accidents in
that state do not occur as a result of
poor eyesight.
The accident division of the state
automobile department has made it

test is surprising in that it reveals
the fact that even the driver who is

revealed, while seventy one and one

All of which leads one to conclude
that impaired grey matter is the

Two Traffic Tricks

The habit of using the engine and
clutch as brake when waiting for
traffic to proceed uphill is very COM
mon and very injurious to the car
in general. The driver leaves the
car in low gear, but rather than take
his foot off the accelerator to hold the
car with the brake he engages the
clutch just enough to make the en-
CINE keep the car stationary. In a
case of this sort the sensible thing
to do is to keep one foot on the SER
vice brake and feed gas from the
hand throttle. letting in the clutch
while releasing the brake as traffic
starts moving.
It's bad policy when driving in
congestion to follow in any way but
in straight line behind the car
ahead. If your car is in staggered
position; that is, if your right front
fender is directly behind the other
cars rear left, there is likely to be

venicnce if the man behind happens

Tho Old Mechanic SAYS;

Motorists have got silence on the
brain. The new cars are so quiet in
operation that all l hear from morn
till night is. Say, can't YOU silence
this engine so it will run like a new
one?' I tell 'em that seventy five
percent of the noise from a motor is
due to loose tappets. too closely ad

but usuall.' only when the engine is
old. The valves are likely to make
a racket anytime. 1t isn't much of
lob to silence them enough to
satisfy the average car owner, but
that's only half the battle.
"The motorist wants the engine to
run like watch Immediately after
the valve have been ground in. It's
possible to do this, simply by making
a good job of the regrinding and set
ting the tappets with the very mini
mum clearance. but it doesn't pay in
the long run. The hard part about
the job is eSplainin' this to the
mOtorist.
"After grindin' in the valves the
car should always be run a few days
with the tappets rather loosely adj
justed. This gives the valve heads a
chance to get seated properly. If YOU
adjust the tappets for minimum
clearance right after doing the work
thu valves will soon be held slightly
open: the engine will leak compress
sion and lack power. The owner will
be discouraged. 1t may be necessary
to do the work all over again. Funny
thov can see that silence is golden
for the repair man."
Significant Figures
Two results of last years motoring
are rather significant. The increase
in registrations over 1921 represented
seven per cent. while the respective
increase in gasoline consumption was

ing seven per cent for the fuel re-

quired for the new cars added this
leaves 4 puZzling 10 per cent increase
in gasoline consumption. 1t may
mean that motorists wasted 10 per
cent more gas in 1922 than in the
year previous. or that cars were given
10 per cent greater use. Considering
the Improvement in engines for the
purpose of giving better gas mica Sc
one is inclined to discount the first
theory. particularly as the improve
ment in engine efficiency ought to at
least offset any tendency on the part
of the car owner to be more Wasteful.
Reports from various sections of the
country where winters are severe
and where cars used to be stored for
several months show that the auto
mobile is being used more extensively
J than ever before. The 10 per cent
increase in gas consumption looks
like step in the right direction.

When Oil Runs Low

If the engines oil supply ever runs
low, and there is no fresh oil avail
able. the driver is justified in trying
to limp to a garage by diluting the
oil with water. Oil floats on water,
which means that when the .aixture
Is pumped to the oil troughs the
dippers at the ends Of the connecting
rods will pick up the Oil which floats
on The top. This will often enable
the engine to continue running.
Without the water the Oil would not
be sufficient to go the rounds Of the

Did You Know

That the oil Indicator can be used
as an index of the quality OF the oil
in the crankcase as well as the
quantity. Always note the level of
the indicator when the crankcase has
been refilled with fresh oil. If, later
on, the indicator shows more oil it
means that the lubricant has in
creased in quantity through dilution
with gasoline leaking past the piston
rings. Such an increase in the guam
tity of oil must represent decrease
in its quality.
That the exhaust gases often reveal
the condition of the motor? An ex-
vessiyely rich mixture will produce
black smoke from the exhaust. If the
! pistons are pumping oil the gases
will be blush white in color. Steam
coming constantly from the exhaust
indicates a water leak into one or
more cylinders, due to a cracked
cylinder head gasket or loose cylin-
der head studs. Be careful not to
confuse this condition with steam
from condensation which frequently
appears when the car has been stand
ing in the cold.
