bV famous ESSEX achievements
The ideal transportation attained in this Greatest
Essex Super Six was long foreshadowed in the
series of individual supremacies by which Essex
leadership lowered mountain high above the field

motor that, using ordinary gasoline, turns
waste heat to power. These motors are
the most powerful and efficient in the
world per cubic inch of piston displace-
ment, within our knowledge.
Thousands daily riding in the New Essex
realize by what immense margins it holds
its leadership-greater in power, perform
ance and reliability-larger, roomier, more
beautifully turned out and appointed.
You have but to see it to share this en-
thusiasm. And no matter how high your
expectations, they will be brilliantly met,
and more, when you ride in the New
Essex Super-Six.

World standards set by Essex itself must
be surpassed to achieve, it. Standards of
comfort and performance, standards of
riding ease and economy, and the out
standing standard of value
Here is all that Essex gave in the past plus
advancements that are new and unique in
motordom. Here is 50 miles an hour all
day long, far greater speed if you want it,
and ariding ease that is actually like flying.
And here is steam engine smoothness and
power which performs the hardest or the
simplest task with the same efortless ease.
Today's Essex, like Hudson, has an ex-
elusive high compression, nti-knock

Indianapolis and surrounding ter
ritory is rapidly appreciatiI the
advantages OF the Carter Aquol Oil
Burner manufactured by the Carter
Aquol Oil Burner Company, and
distributed by the Kreglo and
Carter Company, 63O Ft. Wayne
Ave.
Business for the firm has been
excellent during the past months
and inquiries are being received
daily regarding the burner, accord
ing to James A. Kreglo, member
of the firm.
Associated with Kreglo in the
business is E. M. Carter, the in
ventor of the burner. Both are ex-
perienced heating and plumbing
men, having been in business in
Indianapolis for many years.
About six and a half years ago,
Carter began research work in con-
nection with q new oil burner
principle, and about year ago the
first burners manufactured were
placed on trial in various homes
and buildings. The results we're SO
successful that arrangements were
completed for the manufacture of
the burners.
The burners are being made at
the FIT. Wayne. Ave. address, and
the company has been kept busy
turning out orders. Persons vino
have purchased the Carter hquol
oil burners have been so well
pleased with them that they have
told their neighbors about them and
as result orders have been coming
in rapidly, Kreglo said.
I'VE have q burner that requires
no blower. but has a natural draft,
thereby forcing no heat out of the
flue," said Kreglo.
The burner has an arrangement
to mix properly the fuel oil with
water for complete combustion and
elimination of carbon deposits

new FUNERAL !
HOME OPENED

The new west side funeral nona
of Shirley Brothers, located at 2002A
w. Michigan ST., which was opened
last Tuesday evening to the public
marks another milestone in the hisA
tory of service of the company. Tbs
structure has been built to suppM
the long-felt need of a complies
funeral home for that section of the
city.
The exterior Of the new funeral
home is Of stucco and frame con-
struction, with easement windows
across the entire front. Large dou-
BILE French doors open from the
top of a broad outside stairway leadz
ing from the stairway into a re-
ception room. From this room and
consulting Office adjoining it, the
visitor steps into a well-lighted,
comfortable chapel. Arched OPEN
ings unite the chapel into one large,
home-like room, at the front OF
which an alcove with dome ceiling
has been provided for the casket
and its setting gives an unusually,
artistic effect.
All furnishings and draperies have
been planned to make the new fu-
neral home as home-like as possible,
and yet provide all of the con-
veniences of a modern mortuary.
The growth of the Shirley firm
proves the appreciation of the publ
lie for complete funeral service at
moderate prices. The history Of the
company dates back to 1898, when
A. E. Shirley had a west side es-
Establishment, and in 1899 o. N. Shir-
ley was located on the east side. In
1909 L. j. Shirley, a younger
brother, formed a partnership with
o. N. Shirley, under the firm name
Of o. N. Shirley g. Co.
In 1923 Walter L. Shirley, older
son Of o. N. Shirley, entered the
business upon graduation from the
School of Commerce and Admins
tration of the University of Chicago.
Four branches are now operated
in Indianapolis, with the central
office and chapel at 944-946 N. Illi-,
nois st. All equipment is completely,
motorized and of latest design. Two
ambulances are ready for service any
hour of the day or night.

FLYING BOOST FOR GUM
British Prejudices Passes AS Air
Passengers Get Habit

BU CUtted Press
LONDON, Sept. 26.-Increased
participation in flying by the public
is beginning to break down the
British prejudice against gum
chewing.
Originally taken up by Royal Air
Force pilots at the recommendation
of the Air Ministry the habit of
gum chewing while in flight has
been copied by passengers on the
London to Paris air route.
The reason for this custom is the
discovery that the action of the
jaws in gum chewing keeps the air
passages between the mouth and
the inner-ear open and prevents
deafness by changes in air pres
sure at different attitudes.

Baltimore Sun and New

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-East-
ern newspapers comment favorably
on the new trend of affairs in Indi-
ana.
Under the head, Indiana Starts
housekeeping" the New York
World editorial says:
Indiana has been slow in clean
ing up the mess into which it's pol
itios has slid in the last few years.
AS yet it has not gone far, but it is
making progress"
The Baltimore Sun, under the ed
itorial head, Cleaning up in Indi-
ana,Y says:

IF punishment is deterrent of
crime, Indiana should be well along
with its housekeeping, one Cover
nor just out of Federal prison, his
successor under indictment for con-
spiracy to commit bribery, the mayor
of Indianapolis convicted of violat-
ing the corrupt practices act, pow
erful ex-dragon of the Ku Klux

Dmurder and the head Of the State
Anti-Sa' IN League under sentence
for contempt of court.
"This furnishes an example of
stern justice hard to equal. If it be
80 unusual as to confirm belief that
conditions must have been very bad,
it gives assurance that there is a
wholesome public sentiment In the
State determined to exact justice
for betrayal of trust and violation of
the law.
Mob Psychology Cause
Much Of Indiana's troubles have
been due to mob psychology, which
shrewd rascals in the Ku-Klux Khan
used successfully to feather their
own nests and to the surrender, as
the Attorney General OF the State
declares, of the State political con-
science to organized minorities the
Khan and the Anti-Saloon League.
OF course, supporters Of the league
do not want corruption and inefi-
cheney in their government, but in
their zeal for enforcement Of one law
they have been ready to let every
other thing slide, just as in their
devotion to the Khan its adherents
cast aside obligation they owed the
State"
