ed the torsion balancer.
CONFERENCE.-The are used to keep
the crankshaft from DETECTING. They
also balance the shaft so that there
is no high bearing pressure or whip
pin gout of line, which are the main
causes Of engine rumble, noise and
roughness.
Any crankshaft, no matter how
scientifically worked out, has periods
of torsional vibration. The torsion
balancer absorbs the tendency OF the
cranxshaft TO twist under the power
impulses, and delivers these impulses
back to the shaft a..eI the piston
fcrces are spent. In this manner j.
irons out vibration periods and gives
the engine a smooth flow of power
throughout the speed rarge. The
light pistons and heavy flywheeI
help materially in obtaining this re-
suit.
A COMPLETE change of engine oil
is recommended only four times a
year in the new Bucks. This Il
possible through elimination OF crank
case dilution, keeping the oil full
bodied for long period of time.
This IS accomplished b. Il vacuum
ventilator without moving parts, an
air cleaner and oil filter which keep
all abrasives and dirt out of the oil,
and with the help of thermostasit
water control.
The water and raw gasoline which
are by-products in a gasoline engine
get into the crankcasa ir the form
OF vapor The vacuum ventifator
sucks them out before they can con-
dense anJ mix with the oil. The
thermostat which controls the water
lflow blocks the water when the en-
gine is cold, so that temperature
of 120 degrees is reached before CIR
excessive use of the choi;e and great
ly reduces the amount of raw gaso-
line which goes to the cylinders and
eventually to the oil supply.
Objectional noises have been en-
tire1y eliminated in the 1927 Bucks
by correcting the causes. The ems
gine is unusually quiet because of
perfect balance. This silence is en-
hanced by new valve springs and
minimize noise from this source. There
is a newly designed muffler ana ex-
haust system which is very quiet.
Transmission and gear noises have
been reduced by use Of new giant
teeth, and by an improved mounting
of the transmission case to the en-.
gine. The transmission case is de-
signed especially to dampen geal
hum The transm; ;ssion bell housing
and the flywheel housing have been
strongly reinforced to prevent distor-
tion. The result is positive align
ment among all units, which elim,n-
ates clutch rattle, clutch release bear
ing noise and gear noise.
The engine is mounted at all three.
points Of suspension in rubber. This
insulates the body from the engine
and frame, with the result that there
is a remarkable freedom from closed
car rumble. Silence throughout the
car has been developed to a high
point.
Custom body design and coachwork
is found throughout the line. Every
closed car is upholstered in mohair,
with broadcloth optional in some
models. Open cars are upholstered
in genuine Spanish leather. Hard
ware is of new design. A dash

BOY SCOUT RECEIVES
CITATION FOR BRAVE ACT
Leonard Murphy Of Oakland, Is
Greatly HOnored

Scout Leonard Murphy, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. John Murphy, Second street,
has been cited by the National Court
Of Honor of the Boy Scouts of Am
erica for an act Of bravery recently
performed.
The award comes to young Murp. Z
for saving the lives of two small chill
dren who were standing on the rail-
way crossing at the Baltimore and
Ohio station here on the 10th of April
last, watching q passing east-bound
freight train and were unaware of the
approach of a west-bound train on
the track upon which they were stand
ing.
The children had been playing about
the station during the morning of the
day in question and when they saw
the train going eastward they crossed
to the west-bound track and climbed
upon the fence separating the two
reaches of rails. On account of the
lO4oc iLlesdC w INC u an liiC
children did not hear another train
approaching and continued to cling to
the fence pickets. Leonard Murphy,
who is engaged about the station as
messenger, saw the children and real
izing the danger they were in he risk
ed his own life to beat" the approach
ing locomotive to the children and in
moment he had darted across the
intervening track, lossened the grip of
the two children from the fence and
PULLED them to safety.
The citation was presented to the
deserving youth by W. R. Offutt, chair
man of the local Court of Honor at
the regular monthly meeting held on
Monday night.
Comparatively few such citations
are awarded by the National Court of
Honor, and it is indeed distinction
to receive one of them.

MARAUDERS ARE CAUGHT
RED HANDED BY SHERIFF
Angus Mckenzie and Charles
Merrbaugh Arrested While
Stealing at Stone House Farm

Angus Mckenzie and Charles Merr-
baugh both of whom reside at Sails
bury, Pa, are in the Garrett County
Jail in Oakland where they will be
held pending the action of the grand
jury in December which will inves-
tigate charges preferred against them
by the State officers.
Sheriff Guy o. Yutzy was called by
telephone from Salisbury Saturday
morning about one o'clock to come
without delay to Stone House Farm,
three miles east of Grantsville, as
passers-by along the National High
way had seen and reported to the
Pennsylvania authorities several per-
sons at work in the field with two cars
parked conveniently near, the inform
ers being under the impression that
all was not what it should be.
Within an hour Sheriff Yutzy, ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff W. D.
Casteel were at the place designated,
but the men seen in the field some-
time previous had disappeared, the
cars, however still being at the desig-
mated place. An investigation was
made by the officers who went to Sal
isbury where they visited the homes
of Mckenzie and Merrbaugh, who were
suspected as being the parties seen in
IL l,,+
tenants. Returning to the Stone House
field where guards had been placed
in the underbrush commanding a view
of the parked cars the officers were
just in time to see the suspects re-
turn and attempt to move the auto
mobiles. This move was frustrated
when the officers placed them under
arrest and took them to the field
where they had been working when it
was discovered that about eight BUSH
els of potatoes had been dug and put
in sacks ready to be carried away.
Following a threat made by the Of
fcers to place Mrs. Mckenzie and Mrs.
Merrbaugh under arrest also as ac-
completes in the theft of the potatoes
and bring them to Oakland, the men
made a confession of the crime and
were brought on into Oakland and
put in Jail.
One of the Observation-Disclosures
been employed on the Stone House
Farm for sometime by the superin-
tendent County Commissioner H. P.
Miller, who, at the time of the theft
was in Baltimore under treatment at
a hospital.
For number of years past and at
certain periods during these years, it
has been customary for the fields of
this farm and otherf fields in the neigh
borhood of Grantsville to be robbed,
the thieves even going so far as to
slaughter and carry away livestock
and other property.

Again we are reminded that truth
is stranger than fiction. Not even
Dumas would have dared to write
such story as comes by Associated
Press from Palermo: Fifty years ago
a Sicilian peasant, on the day he went
to prison for life for murder, became
the father of a male child. Twenty
years later that son learned that his
father had been convicted on the
false testimony of two men and he
killed them, afterward being himself
sent to prison for 80 years. On the
day Of his release few days ago, at
the completion of his term, the life
prisoner was pardoned and the father
and son met for the first time-the
one aged ninety and the other fifty.
Presumably the unfortunate wife and
mother had long since lost her hold
on life.

| MIS-. L. u. Palmer, Former Resident
of Garrett County, Warns Against
the Establishment of Poor House
In This County and Cites Reports
of Investigators Who Contend That
Such Institutions ''Are Disgrace
to the State; a Menace to the Com.

Sir:-I learn that Garrett county is

ing facts for the consideration Of the
voters? Yours truly,
MRS. U. G. PALMER.
Sixteen fraternal organizations,
backed by the United States Depart
ment of Labor, made an investigation
Of poor houses. The investigation re-
suited in the conclusion that poor
houses are disgrace to the State; a
menace to the communities through
which they spread disease and degen-
eracy, and pest to the helpless, the
wretched, the diseased and demented
who turn there for refuge"
The New York Times says: "The
poor farm is our human dumping
ground into which go our derelicts of
every description. Living in this mess
of insanity and depravity, this prison
place for criminals and the insane,
are several thousand children and re-
spectacle old people whose only Of
Tense is that they are poor"

 The trouble between the men oc- cured at the Greenwich railroad station on the west side. It is said that an argument between Vance and Wolfe resulted in the latter hitting Vance over the right eye which not only damaged the optic. but pro- duced a hemorrhage which may have lasting effect. The story of what went on was expected to be told in court today and while Vance was there, Wolfe, through his coun- sel, sent word that he could not ap- pear because he had been called away. Counsel for Vance asked that the $500 bond of Wolfe on the as sault charge be declared forfeited but it was agreed that the case should be called up later in the week
