Motoring Is Simplified by
Improvement of Parts;
Lie Taken Out of the Name
Pleasure Car"

AutomotiYe engineers and inventors
are planning TO make things easier for
the automobile driver. Their COM
bined efforts of late have. brought such
results as to take the lie out of the
name pleasure car" for any automo-
bile. Only a few years ago. a driver
used to curse the man who picked that
name, while he tried 10 replace u pune
tured tire or climb hill without de-
yeloping a knock.
Now, engineers have gone so far
ahead in perfection Of the engine-al-
though there is much more to be done
here-that they are directing their in
ventive faculties toward improving de-
tails.
For instance, one auto manufacturer
has decided TO do away with levers on
his car. Instead, the automatic shift
is installed. Even the emergency brake
lever is abolished, and in its place is
Il brake that operates from the dash.
The controls for gear shifting are on
the wheel, below the spark and gas
levers.
Controls Are Improved.
The dash instruments are being i'm.
proved, simplified and collected into
one group. In one case, all instru,
ments are put over the center of the
steering wheel. so that the driver will
watch them more closely.
A western inventor has designed an
apparatus by which tire may be re,
moved or attached by the mere turning
of a single lug. That, if it proves
efficient, ought TO take the last worry
off the mind Of the drivers, rs regard,
tires. For the tiremakers have improv,
ed that part to such a degree that there
is little more trouble with it.

Grayburg Is Appointed Agent for Well
Known Lubricating OIL.

"Satin0il," q hish-grade lsbricatips
oil, which the makers claim not only
takes the chatter" out of Fords but
is equally valuable as a lubricant for
other makes Of cars, will be distributed
in San Antonio and surrounding ter
ritory by the Grayburg Oil Company.
It was announced Saturday by J. W.
Smith, district manager for the com.
pany making the product.
The Grayburg company, Mr.. Smith
said, did not undertake to distribute
the oil until it had given the product
thorough test in its own fleet Of cars
and in cars belonging to some of its
larger accounts. I'VE have found
'SatinOiF to be the best oil for Ford
cars we have ever seem" an official
of the Grayburg company told Mr..
Smith last week.
The makers claim that "Satinoil" not
only removes jarring noises and vibra-
ton from Ford cars, softens and lubri-
Gates the brake bands, but will not
break down under intense heat. The
further claim is made that ''Satinoil"
is absolutely free from dope" Of any
kind. is paraffine base oil aud will

INSPIRING WAS
EVENING music
Program Given to Capacity House
At High School On Friday lsighr
Second Number

In spite of the rain on Friday even
ing, the high school auditorium was
filed almost to capacity to enjoy the
second humber in the lecture course,
the concert given by the Cleveland
Symphonic Quintet. This was the
initial visit of the organization to-
Baraboo but the enthusiasm evinced
last night for this excellent enter
tainment justifies the hope that it
will not be the last.
Paul Vernon is the efficient direc-
tor Of the company, playing LIST violin
and varying the program with
pleasing baritone solo. Messrs, Jones
and Cheesman are artists upon their
respective instruments, the violin and
viola, and Arthur George satisfied the
most critical with his playing of the
vio1incello. Blanche Weber Vernon
accompanied upon the piano with
grace and distinction showing fine ap-
probation of musical values. Indeed
in all that goes to make a satisfactory
string quintet the Cleveland Symptom
ic Quintet acquits itself in truly mas.
terly fashion.
Among the numbers especially en-
joyed was the we'll knows Andant..
Cantabdle by the great Russiaon

ssohn and Beethoven and Schumann
numbers.
Mr.. Jones introduced the ancient
instrument known as the viola d.
amour upon which he played several
18th century compositions. These were
interesting and melodious.
The violincello solo by Mr.. George
was delightfully."- given and the enthus.
iastic encores which followed it and
the violin solo by Mr. Vernon should
have warmed their hearts. That in
each case they were more than de-
served only proves the appreciation
of the audience for real refinement III
musical expression and mastery per
Torrance.
The explanatory remarks made by
Mr.. Vernon before the playing Of
some of the numbers were of decided
value.

JUDICIARY IS
DISCUSSED AT
KIWANIS CLUB
Member Of State Supreme Court
Speaks Al Luncheon at Warren
Hotel

Justice w. G. Owen of the state SUI
preme court was the speaker Wednes-
day noon at the regular weekly lunch
0e0n of the KiWanis club at the War
rem hotel Judge Owen, who resides
In Madison, has been member Oh
che Kiwanis club there and its presi-
dent for two years. His subject here
was THE Judiciary
The speaker stated it was not usu.
al for the judiciary to talk about il,
self and there is not much heard
about it. The voters keep track OF
5heir legislative and executive Off
GERS and candidates but the judiciat
men are not heard so much about;
probably because the terms of judges
are longer than other government
officers.
Courts are prone to declare laws
unconstitutional, said Judge Owen,
and what the public has heard about,
the courts in most cases is not true.
Critizing the courts of justice is a
grave responsibility and cannot be
stressed too much" he claimed
.Justice owen stated that constitu-
tional rights usually prevail over
statute rights and it is up to the
courts to decide the issue. Few laws,
however, are held as unconstitutional
as the courts do not like to declare
chem so.
Efficiency of courts
Concerning the efficiency of courts
the speaker stated that law delays
sare to be deplored. Some persons
in states outside of Wisconsin, are
compelled to wait four years for tho
wheels of justice to thrash out their
cases. Such circumstances indicate
there are not enough courts in the
community. This conditions does
not exist in this state and a case here
under the very worst circumstances
can be tried in six months.
Mr.. owen believes fewer appeals
have been taken to the supreme court
Trom lower courts in this state than
in any other state. There are about
40, 900 cases tried every year in Wis
sconsin and only 400 of these reach
The supreme court on an average; anu
IN only one-third of the casese taken
higher, are the decisions revealed.
This shows that the people Of this
state have confidence in their judges
who are elevated to the bench through
their integrity, learning and honesty, !
and kept there in most instances
until they are no longer able to serve.
Hearty applause greeted the JUS
aice at the close of his talk.
