We ave very good grade of pianos such az

str1ments are right. The Kimball S435: Paasa

Some people have been mislead by high pow
cred piano statesmen who travel about with !
piano on truck and tell the prospective Gus
toner that Mr.. So-and-So had this instrument
but couldn't pay for it; that it is a $500 or $500
piano but that the new purchaser will oct the
benefit of what the other buyer had paid on the
piano. People who do not know pianos will bllv
thinking they are getting high grade instru,S
ment at a reduced price because Of what some
one else had paid on it which they are not.
I This is what we would call a wildcat scheme.
They go and find the prospects without hav-
ing any such well known makes Of pianos as
the Kinball, Gable, Pease and Steinway.-
real high grade pianos Yet they get a price as
high or higher We can sell you a Kimball,

NEW FUEL MACHINE

the saving of approximately II
per cent of the total operating

S. Jefferson, head of the fuel con-

The apparatus Is the result CT
several years of work by the fuel

the local navy yard. Tests show
that cheap coal pulverized by a
erusher on board ship then forced
by compressed air into burners

MEASURES TO
CHECK CRIME
BEING PASSED
Sentences Are Being Cen
orally Increased-l9
Legislatures Act.

NEW YORK, June Meas.
ures designed to check crime
have been passed by 10 state
legislatures thus far in 1927, a
survey revealed.
Thirteen other states adopted
measures, such as those altering
the penal codes to make former
misdemeanors felonies, which were
considered general anti-erime legis-
lation, but not specific checks on
crime.
The measures adopted in the
10 states generally tended to-
ward an increase of sentence,
with a tightening of the legal
net about the habitual criminal,
the gangster, gunman and hold
up man.
A significant feature of the anti
crime legislation was the tendency
to follow New York's pattern in
curbing the activities of habitual
criminals and the operations of
bands of organized criminals. A
number of states enacted laws
comparable to New York's Baumes
act, a piece of anti-crime legisla-
tion passed in 1926. 1t provides n
mandatory life sentence for fourth
offenders and generally tighteng
uD the criminal code
Stop Nut Chewing
The measures enacted in the
13 states range from Montana's
banning of the chewing of mescal
nuts by Mexican laborers, prac.
tice thought by some to be nee.
essary to certain religious rites.
to Oregon's new measure making
it unlawful to skin dead stock
without the owners consent. The
last measure is n check on cattl=
rustling. Oregon was also one of
the 10 states adopting legislation
to check crime.
A number of legislatures dis
cussed the carrying and use OF
fire arms. Many states had al.
ready provided themselves with
checks against this practice, and
several followed suit in 1927.
Measures providing for criminal
Identification were passed by sev.
eral legislatures.
Drastic Action
The most drastic action towards
curbing crime was taken in Cali
fornia, South, Dakota, North Da-
kota, Iowa and New York.
New York's legislature passed
II of Al anti-crime bills sub
mitted by the Baumes Crime Com
mission, headed by Senator Caleb
II. Baumes, author of the Baumes
act. Those falling of passage were
considered the most important by
the Baumes Commission. Most OF
the II laws enacted are virtually
amendments to the penal Law and

CHICAGO, June 24.-"I'll drink

Oklahoma" is the promise made
once upon a time by H. II. Rogers,
active in the Standard Oil COM
pany. He could as well attempt
to drink the Mississippi as it
daily sweeps over additional thou

you can always bet on the
American refiner," said c. U. Will
liams, president of the Williams
Oil-O-Matic Heating Corporation
of Bloomington, ILL.,, in an ad-
ress here. Twenty years ago an
oil shortage was predicted. To
day we have an immense over
production. The greater the de-
mand for gasoline, the more cheap
fuel oil we will have. for it is a
by-product of the manufacture Of
motor fuel.
1--WE have had eight years con
tinuous satisfactory use of oil
burners and there continues to be
an ample supply of cheap fuel
oil for householders and industrial
concerns throughout the country.
Oil production has not reached its
maximum and there still is NOT
the maximum production of cheap
fuel oil from the original natural
supply. On top of 1t all comes
word from Germany that fuel oil
is being produced successfully and
cheaply from that country's i'm
mense deposits of cheap coal"
