MAY CAUSE ENGINE KNOCK

Some of the knocking in the engine may be due to too lean a mixture. With too lean mixture for the load an engine must labor, thus resulting in knocking of it's weakest and loosest parts. This may be in the form of a piston slap, pistcn pin knock or a bearing knock, depending upon the con dition of the engine. When it is seen that to this disadvantage must be added the fact that laboring serves to inflict further wear on the engine the saving in gas through using a lean mixture may prove to be very costly in the long run.
 There is point in hill-climbing where it is more economical, from the standpoint of the gasoline consumption of the engine. to shift into "second'

VALUABLE ACCESSORIES

At least one extra rim to carry a spare tire is practically essential. An electric lamp on an extension cord is tremendously valuable when something goes wrong with the car in the night. An arrangement on the wind shield for clearing the glass of rain or snow is a great convenience when driving in stormy weather. Shock absorbers are often found to increase the easiness with which a car runs. Bumpers fore and eft are desirable.

Wills Outboxes His Man-Gets' Decision
 By Referee Sullivan

BOYLES THIRTY ACRES, Jer- sey City, Sept. 12.-Harry Wills, known in pugilistic circles as the "Black Panther" easily gained the unofficial decision over Angel Firpo, "the Bull of the Pampas at the end of 12 round no decision fight, in the presence of ninety thousand peo- pie.
 Wills stepped out into the lead with the opening of the gong and never once relinguished it for the rest of his fistic journey.
 In the first round, Wills dropped the South American to the canvas with a stiff right to the jaw. In the second round, a terrific punch roped Firpo and all of his bull-like strength couldn't retain him so as to stand off the terrific beating which was in store for him and which he took from Wills before the end of the round.
 For the remainder of the bout the Negro employed his usual tactics of hitting and holding, and Firpo being punished severely by the methods of Wills fighting protested to the ref cree, Danny Sullivan. Firpo's pro- tests didn't help much as Wills, thru the entire bout used the same unfair way. Firpo was on the defensive during the entire bout.

Darrow Tr;umpnant

CHICAGO, Sept 11.-Clarence Dar- row, the country's mos; famous crInl- inal lawyer, and the wealth of the Loeb and Leopold families scored a victory here yesterday when Judge Caverly of the Chicago criminal court pronounced sentence upon Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, self con- fessed slayers of the Frank boy in one of the most reVOlting murders the country has ever recorded in recent years. The two youths, the elder of whom is scarcely 19 years of age, were sentenced to spend the remainder of their lives in prison, life being imposed for murder and 99 years for Kidnapping. The two prisoners were apparently unmoved by the prospect of going to prison for life. They did not indicate either that welcomed escape from death, and showed no remorse over their crime.
 Public sentiment is very bitter ever the miscarriage of justice.
 The judge in passing sentence re- iterated his belief that the two fiends are of normal mentality and were
 normal when the crime was com niitted
