DON'T MOVE WESTERN STATE
COLLEGE FROM GUNNISON
Telluride Journal

Telluride Journal:-
In a length editorial the other day,
the Grand Junction Sentinel came out
strongly IN favor of moving Western
State College from Gunnison to
Grand junction. We don't blame the
Sentinel for wanting Western Col
iege, but We are strongly opposed TO
moving the institution. The plan
savors too much of followup of the
present difference between President
Quigley Of the institution and certain
state officials who are apparently "out
to get him."
The work of these politicians has in
dicated all along that there might be
move on their part to get the school
away from Gunnison. We do not ac-
cuse Grand Junction Of being a party
to this or the Sentinel with nursing
the scrap, for the Sentinel has ali
along been one Of the staunchest de-
Tenders of President Quigley. How
ever, it certainly appears on the out
side as though Grand Junction was
taking advantage of the trouble which
has not yet been settled and hopes to
drive an entering wedge to get the
school as result of this.
We admit what the Sentinel says
about the geographical location of the
school, but SO long as the school has
been established at Gunnison, and Is
getting along nicely, We see no reason
why the college should be moved. AL
ready there is big investment at the
college which would have to be thrown
away If it were moved. Then too, the
greatest thing to be considered is the
fact that at the present time the pion-
eering at Western State College has
been done. All of the difficulties which
beset a new educational institution
have been met and overcome and the
college is at the present time in fair
way to develop into one Of the big
institutions of the state. Gunnison has
borne her share of "grief" IN this
pioneering work and the Journal be-
lieves that place is entitled to the
school. Had it not been for the pres
ent trouble at the institution the col
lege at Gunnison would have been
going forward by leaps and bounds.
Why throw another monkey wrench
into the machinery at this time :?
Don't move Western State College
from its present location.

PaddlefOrd Cleared of
Baseless Charges

because the charges against Fred
Paddleford, supt. of the State Indus
trial Home for Boys, were brought by
the same officials ard aired in some
what the same STACEY manner as
those against President Quigley,
there has been considerable public
interest in them.
Mr.. Padileford has been entirely
vindicated by the State Civil Service
Commission, and the Chieftain, lead
ing Republican paper Of Pueblo, has
this comment TO make:
PsAAiefssa vl.SiesteS
The State Civil Service Commission
has dismissed every charge that was
against Fred L. Paddleford. superin-

This is the action that should have

ence was given has doubted for .

This discharged employee made very
terious charges against Mr.. Paddle

and they were willing to go to any
The unfairness Of such proceedings
Is In the trouble and worry which they
give the man who is charged with be-
ing incompetent. Mr.. Paddieford has
been with that school twenty three
years. There has never been any
politics in the management Of the
school during that time The various
governors have recognized that Mr.
Paddleford has saved more boys than
any other one man in Colorado and
they have been content to have him
continue his work.
Not so with the present Democratic
administration No sooner had II been
installed than some Of its officials be-
gan to try to cause trouble in state
institutions. Not that any thing was
wrong but that few Of the governors
henchmen needed positions. State
Auditor stong was unfortunate enough
to lend his help to the schemes. Mr.
PaddIeford was one of the men select
ed. No sooner had the charges been
fiied than the people OF the state
fiocked to his support So strong was
his case that over 400 volunteer wit
nesses never were called. The com
mission finally told Mr.. Paddieford's =
attorney to stop putting on evidence.
The state should pay the cost OF the
trial to Mr.. Paddleford. 1t was a
political plot against him worked up
by state officials who should have
been doing something else, and for
that reason the state should pay the

Investigation Of Used Car Market
 Is Surest Method Of Saping Money

Just a glance at tho used cdr situ- ation in Birmingham will be inter- esting to anyone who expects to buy an automobile. It is the rarest thing in the world to find car on deal er's floor that is over three years old and most of them have only seen two years or even one year of service. Al most any representative dealer in Bir- mingham can point you to cars on his sales floor that have only been driven fev months and frequently only a few weeks. That such cars are the best buys in the world, as a rule, needs no argument. They have just the same inherent service and years of honest satisfaction that they have ever had-and yet they can be bought for many hundreds of dollars less than they cost when they were taken orig finally from the salesroom.
 Then there is always the car that has had very careful attention and has always been driven by a very careful or elderly person or someone whose oc- cupat tion does not call for rush and hurry. Many such cars can be found that have been driven practically all the time on paved srteets and good roads and have never been subject to abuse that some cars do receive For all practical purposes it can truly be said that such cars will last a life time. The present car is so well built, and of such uniform construction that it's average life is we'll over seven years, but for the car that has been driven always at moderate speed, given good care and an occasional overhaul ing, there is practically no life limit. There are many such cars on the mar ket. Find a dealer in whom you have confidence and tell him just what you want and what you expect of the car

R4RET 1kAfZEZD

Dear Barney Oldfield: Which do you consider the better the chain type drive for timing gears or the gear type? Are all chain drives the samef
 B. L. P. I believe the chain type to be the future standard. At present nearly half of the different makes of cars use it. The LIB automatic adjustment drive is the one I prefer to any other form. Outside of this there Is the non- adjustable and the shift typo in which the adjustment is made by moving the lighting generator.
 ' Dear Barney Oldfield: The engine of my car has run only 2,000 miles and there is a peculiar knock in 1t, that it had ever since I bought the car. It sounds like a valve tappet and the service station says they are all o. k. What else could 1t be?
 0. J. E. A wrist pin that is even .005-inch loose will cause a sound somewhat like like that of tappet.
 Dear Barney Oldfield: have a car with a multiple disc clutch and I have to throw out the clutch pedal all the way otherwise the gears do not shift A friend of mine says the clutch needs adjustment to change the pedal throw Is there something wrong with the clutch.
 D. G. M. Nothing wrong with the clutch Nearly all multiple disc type require long pedal throw. The single plate do not require so much.
 
 Dear Barney Oldfield: Is it prac- tical to put front wheel brakes on a Studebaker and if so what brakes can I buy?
 It can be done by changing the en- tire front axle steering connections, etc., but I do not advise you to change not only because of the cost involved, but I do not thin you would get the braking you hope for.
 Dear Barney Oldfield: May I ask you how to adjust the generator of a Redbird Overland so as to generate more electricity for cold weather use? I saw this mentioned in some paper.

will stand good in a case of this kind?
 What causes my car to give a kind of a knock when I start in the morn ing or often after standing idle for about half an hour. As soon as the oil gauge registers any pressure at all the knock goes away. Could the pump beeout of adjustment?
 Does the oil pump wear in any way so as to cause it to lose pressure after about 10000 miles of service ?-- T. F. S.
 If the crankshaft of your engine is minus an oil groove I feel sure the factory will do the right thing. Write directly to the service manager after you have consulted with the dealer, giving him an opportunity of making good. hardly believe defect of that kind could get past factory inspector, ,and wish you would write to me if the facts as you stated are correct.
 The knock you speak of is piston skipping. Many engines when cold will knock for few minutes until the oil circulates and the engine gets warm.
 The oiling system in the car you mention is exceptionally good. The oil pump wears very little, because it al- ways gets oil, but after 10000 miles one gear in the pump may be neces- sary. I do not think it will be neces- sary to go to court about a matter of this kind, as am sure the factory will make a proper adjustment.

AMERICA NATION
 OF MOTOR CARS
People Now Use 15,2S1, ,295 Motor Vehicles-1923 Pro-
 duction Shows Gain.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Following the record production of 100000 auto mobiles in 1923, the motor cars on the roads of the United States naturally showed large increase. Statistics just compiled by Automotive Industries give the total registration of all motor ve- hicles for the past year as 15,2S1 ,295, of which 13,4S4, ,939 are passenger cars and 1,796,356 motor trucks. This rep resents a total gain over 1922 of 2.916,- 018 cars, or 23.6 per cent, an average of one motor vehicle for every 7.2 per sons in the country.
 New York state still retains her motor leadership with 1,214,090 cars. One year ago New York was the only state having more than 100000 motor vehicles in use. The year 1923 brought three otheN> in that class, California coming second with 1,003,660; Ohio third with 1,0T2,750 and Pennsylvania fourth with 1,064,025. Illinois will probably reach that mark this year. as its 1923 registration was. 9G9, ,092, fol- lowed by Michigan with '72s, ,;327, and then Texas, the leader in the southern group, with 6SS.S9G cars. Oklahoma is the second largest motor-uSing southern state with 307 900 cars, North Carolina being third with 247,O0O, followed by Virginia, with PIT 2ooa and Mar5l land, with 206A50.
 Among the New England states Mas sachusetts leads with J66,150. Connec- < ticut having 191,G47 and Rhode Island 116,940. The latter state shows the largest percentage gain over 1922, be- ing T6 per cent, while Alabama, with 126,64 cars, shows a gain of 40.6 per cent, followed closely by West Virginia, . Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, Missippi and South Carolina, all of which gained 34 per cent and over. h. : dustrial states had smaller percentage gains than did the southern group, but the bottom rungs of the percentage lad der are held by the agricultural areas.
 '"The list of percentage gains reflects rather accurately what might have been expected in automobile sales as re- suit of the economic condition of the country during the last F months D says Automotive Industries The year a 1923 was period of prosperity throughout the south and marked prog ress has been made in all lines =Manu- . facturing areas, too, have been in good condition, but the very large number 3 of vehicles already in these places nat urally would keep percentage increases down. The farmer has had more eco. homie difficulties than anyone else and his relatively low buying power is re nected in the figures.
 The striking character of the 192: figures can be understood when it is realized that the percentage gain ovel the previous year is greater than at any other time since 1919 The actual gain of course, is far ahead of any ever re corded in the history of the industry The percentage increase is remarkabl, because constantly decreasing rate o growth was to be expected as the ac tual totals mounted.
