The Motor Check works like X-ray on
motor, transmission, rear end and brakes. 1t
even measures the performance of gasoline
and oil.
You've heard coil is more than oil-it is
power" The Motor Check revealed it. Trade
papers discussed it. Newspapers broadcasted
it. Car owners acclaimed it.
Automobile manufacturers needed it and
revised their fabrication procedure.

CITIZENS SEE NEED
OF MORE POLICE
Creation of New Precinct
Urged by 18th Street High
lands Association.

A resolution requesting the District
Commissioners to hasten the creation
Of police precinct in the vicinity of
the territory covered by the Sixteenth
Street Highlands Citizens Association
was unanimously adopted by the as
ISOLATION at a meeting in the Sixth
Presbyterian Church last night.
This resolution was following a dis
cusSion of more than an hour regard
Ing the transfer of policeman until
recently stationed in a police booth
at the intersection of Fourteenth and
Kennedy streets. Upon removal of the
policeman from the booth the asso-
citation requested the Commissioners
that a policeman be again stationed
there.
Request Is Denied.
This request, however, was denied
following a report to the Commission
>rs by the Police Department heads
that the patrol system now in use in
the section is more efficient than the
booth system. Many members of the
association insisted last night that
they were still in favor of the usage
of the booth system.
DR.. Jesse Benjamin. who introduced
the resolution asking for the precinct.
declared that patrol system is not
necessary in a neighborhood such as
emDOdled IN the sixteenth street High
land Citizens Association territory.
What is good for one section of the
city may not be necessary for another
section" declared DIR. Benjamin.
Resolutions were also adopted re-
questing the placing of lights in alleys
in the section-particularly north of
Kennedy street-and to request the
leveling of several streets at intersec-
tfons, where, it was claimed, bitches
have been dug, leaving the ground
very rough and dangerous for motor
lists. Paul f. Grove, president of the
association, presided.

automotive dealers. In year, it has taught
dealers and owners alike that oil means more
than fabrication. 1t has shown the vital
relation that oil has to power.
Havoline has shown that power goes up,

wrong oil to right oil. The Motor Check is
here to prove it in any mans car.

necessary revenue can go to the ex-
travagance that many of them are
going in providing these things which
are nice to have but which are hard
to pay for. 81.
1.-THE need Of knowing the cost OF
government in order to allow progress
| only within the means of the people
apparently has not as yet made itself
sufficiently felt to actuate the people
to originate agencies to collect and
tabulate for intelligent use the costs
of our present unsatiated appetite for
governmental activities.
We Sc that many of our cities
and towns have already gone to the
| limit Of their resources in providing
| the various activities. We do not see
any classes of property striving to
| bear larger burden of tax, but a
| tendency always to the shifting of a
burden which will not disappear. II
would seem that If we are to continue
this trend that the time had come not
! to law additional burdens upon class
| es of property already bearing the
+, brunt of burden. but rather to look
| to new sources of revenue which have
| not as yet been burdened to the ex-
| tent for example that real estate has
been burdened to provide for these
activities.
1.-THE other and perhaps better way
| is to have the people demand less OF
| their local governments and under
| take to live within their income and
liability to pay. In other words re-
duce taxes by spending less money. !
'While some of the New England
States have, passed valuable statutes
which materially reduce the ability
of the present day to borrow of to-
morrow, many Of the states still have
| the door wide open for extravaganza
! in the shape of spending today ano
paying tomorrow, on the theory per-
| haps that the dollar of tomorrow Is
more easily raised than the dollar OF
today. This we feel is a bad policy
because, as we see things developing
| it. would appear that the next genera
| ton will receive a rich heritage in the
ability to spend money, all in fact
| that they can we'll stand for, without
being given any of the expenses OF
| today. ..-1:
