and their music gained for them
many words of praise and common
dation. Prof. Benjamin Prosser has
added another star to his crown OF
musical attainment.
The Reindeer Band with its boys
drum corps deserve no small share
of the credit for the splendid pa
rade. Their music was faultless and
they made fine appearance in their
summer uniforms. Our band and or
ganization are under many obliga-
tons to the splendid aggregation of
musicians for their wonderful con-
tribution to the occasion. We APP
preciate the splendid and efficient
way in which Sergeant Robert Graf
ton and his police motorcycle detail
looked after the routing of our pa
rade through the streets of the city.
The program was good. Grand
Recording Secretary Mary E. Cou-
sins was mistress of ceremonies and
served in this capacity in her own
amiable way. The Shepherds Chorus
led by Daughter Emily o. Lewis sang
the opening ode. Devotionals were
conducted by Rev. W. B. Ball. The
choir of the church then rendered
one of its sweet select songs. In a
very eloquent and gripping address
Mr.. Preston Johnson made the Or
der welcome. Words of welcome on
benalf of the Folds of the West End
were spoken by Director Charles Nc
Claiborne. Shepherd A. D. Daniel
in very happy vein responded to
these addresses. Mrs. Daisy Johnson
of Rev. William Thomas Memorial
Fold, rendered a sweet and charming
solo. Secretary A. c. Clark spoke
on the progress Of the Order in the
Richmond District. He showed that
the membership in this district had
increased 912 members since last
June. He also stated that the Rich
mond District had lost Is members
by death during the year and had
paid in death $1,233.33. The 912
members will place back into the Or

The collection was good.
The annual sermon was delivered
by Rev. j. A. Brinkley, pastor Of
Mosby's Memorial Baptist Church.
The Reverend delivered the message
in grandiloquent style and succeed
ed in putting the keynote of the day
in the minds Of his hearers. 1t was
a message of hope and criterion of
inspiration for the members of the
Order. They felt that they were the
better prepared for bigger and bet

Presentations were made by Daugh-
ter Emma Wynn. Remarks were
made by Daughter Mary E. Freeman,
representing the Philadelphia Dis
trict. She complimented Richmond
for it's work and served notice that
Philadelphia would not stop short of
first place in the activities of our
Order. The Juvenile Chorus sang
the closing song. The remarkable
manner in which Matroh Lille Bas-
kerville has brought the Juvenile
Department up to it's present state
of efficiency is one of the outstand-
ing achievements of the year.

the Folds Of the Richmond District
was brought to a glorious Gun
summation June 10th at Mosbys
Memorial Baptist Church. The early
morning hour found Commissioners
Mitchell and Clark hard at work ar
ranging for the most gorgeous and
spectacular parade ever witnessed IN
Richmond. Long before 1870 O'Clock
standing room was secured at great
effort in our large, spacious head
quarters. The members OF Unity
Company, No. l; Purity Company
No. 2; Alpha Company, No. l, and a
company from the Juvenile Depart
ment were in evidence everywhere,
intermingling with the members OF
the Order with their snappy, smart
uniforms. 1t was one of the most
beautiful sights that one wanted to
see. Promptly at : 80 z. NJ. Major
Thomas Lecoss, Captain W, H. Mil
ton. Captain Lille Baskerville, Cap
tain p. C. James and Captain Ruth
Bastield began the formation Of the
parade. This was done with precision
and great military bearing. The
Shepherds Band filed out of the
building and took its place at the
head of the column, facing south on
Sixth Street. Commissioners Clark
and Mitchell followed, with Major
Thomas Lecoss and his staff leading
Unity Company, No, l, and Purity
Company, No. 2, of the Provisional
Battalion. The Great Reindeer Band
swung into line heading the crack
Alpha Company of the Uniform De-
partment under the leadership of
Captain w. H. Milton. Following
them were the Juveniles, led hy
Captain Ruth Basield. Next came
the members of the Folds, Sojourn-

delegations car was second. They
motored here for the parade. These
cars were followed by a number of
cars carrying members of the Order.
When the end of this parade swung
into Leigh Street it presented one of
the most attractive and pleasing
sights ever exhibited in Richmond.
The female members of the Provi-
sional Battalion showed that they
had been in intense training. Alpha
Company made a very impressive
showing. The Juveniles were the SEN

NEW FUEL-FEED DEVICE
OFFERED BY STEWART
Vacuum CarburetOr Eliminated by
System

NNN0AhA ONA buACNOA EAAAAAAdOCu ny
System
Ten rev or improved fuel-feed
systems and devices soon will be an
nounced by the Stewart Warner
Speedometer Corporation, Chicago
the vacuum tank people, long the
leaders in fuel feed methods.
The most revolutionary of these
new devices is fuel-feed system
that eliminates the vacuum tank
and carburetor entirely, feeding a
cooled, dry gasoline vapor to the
manifold. In this system, air,
warmed by the muffler, Is passed
through a pipe coil in the gasoline
tank, picking up the gasoline by
cylinder vacuum and carrying 1t
forward through a three-fourth
inch pipe line toward the engine.
The warmth of air and turbulence
Of the coil partially vaporize the
gasoline, which is then completely
vaporized at a section of the line
which is heated by engine exhaust.
This creates a clean, dry vapor, too
rich to burn, which is then passed
through an air valve which mixes 1t
with cool air, making it a COM
bustible mixture, and rasses it on
into the manifold as 1S1..Sired.

Test PREST-O-LITE
Statesmen Here for Farley
See Race.

The outstanding feature of the
second days session of the conven-
ton of Prest-O-Lite storage bat
terry statesmen was an especially
staged ten-mile race held at the
Speedway. The race was between
two Black Hawk Stutz stock cars,
which use Prest-O-Lite batteries as
standard equipment. The cars,
driven by George Spindler and
Johnny jenkins, averaged a little
better than eighty-nine miles an
hour on a wet track.
President Moskovics of the Stutz
Motor Car Company acted as pace
maker.
Following the race the statesmen
made trip to the Prest-O-Lite
laboratory, where they witnessed
tests of Prest-O-Lite batteries in
comparison with other makes.
Unusually favorable results were
obtained from the Prest-O-Lite bat
terry, the test proving that the prod
uct has Is to 80 per cent more
power under cold weather condi-
tons. These tests also proved that
the Prest-O-Lite battery stands up
better and lasts longer under con-
tinuous discharge.
More than fifty district statesmen
from all parts of the country at
tended. The convention opened at
the plant Monday morning and end
ed Tuesday night.

: THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
FUEL PUMP is
PUT TO WORK
ON new BUICK
Replaces Old Style Vacuum
Tank; Uncertainty Is
BaniShed.

The mechanical fuel pump with
which the Silver Anniversary Buick
is equipped is offered as a thor
oughly demonstrated improvement
over the vacuum tank system which
it replaces.
It's principal accommodations are
simplicity and reliability. 1t does
away with fuel failure at high
speeds or on hills, eliminates prim-
ing when the gasoline tank has run
dry and in short, banisheS one more
uncertainty from motor car opera
ton.
In principle, the mechanical fuel
pump goes right back to the old
pump on the farm. Its vital part is
a flexible diaphragm of proof
material, which is set in motion by
impulses upon a lever communicat-
ing with the camshaft of the en-
CINE.
Adjusts to Supply
The diaphragm makes one pulsa-
ton, a fraction of an inch in ex-
tent, with each revolution of the
camshaft, bringing fuel from the
gasoline tank in past a check valve
which prevents its return. and fore
ing it through a second check valve,
to the carburetor. The faster the
engine runs, the greater the pumps
activity.
Two drag links are provided be-
tween the pump lever and the dia-
phram, to permit the latter to idle
when the fuel supply on hand is
adequate.
When the carburetor bowl is full
the pump chamber also is full and
the diaphragm ceases to operate.
The lever communicating with the
camshaft works constantly, however,
its motion being absorbed by the
drag links.
The pump is so positive of opera
ton as to work efficiently at hand
cranking speed, a fact which insures
adequate fuel supply even when the
starter lags.
Pump Fully Perfected
Neither is it necessary to- prime
the carburetor after allowing the
fuel to run out. A few turns of the
engine is sufficient to fill the car
buretor bowl.
The pump is said to be fully per-
fected today. Among the recent
improvements in it is a chamber,
designed to equalize the pressure of
fuel, taking care of excess and de-
livering it back to the line as re-
quired. Gasoline strainer is also an
integral part of the pump.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1928-08-01
Refnements in Motor

Interior improvements also have
been made. New instrument panels
of etched silver add to the interior
attractiveness and the convenience
of passengers.
A new coincidental lock operated
by single key from the instrument
board affects both the ignition and
the Irar Sn1iSsion. The actua5ing
cable is protected by a steel arm
ored conduit which renders the car
practically theft-proof, since the
motor can not be turned off with
out locking the transmission. The
new series cars are also protected by
the Fedco serial number system.
Mechanical refiniments of the
two lines include not only the added
power of the 49," but such i'm
provements as a vibration-ab absorb
ing clutch plate In the "78," insu-
lated manifolding, improved type
spark plugs, more expensive bearing
construction, scientifically designed
high turbulence combustion cham
bers and refinements in spring stis-
pension that carry on the long
standing Marmon prestige of build
ing the easiest riding car in the
world"
The L-head straight motor of the
"68" has been stepped up to a horse
power Of 76, while the overhead
valve motor of the "78" has been
continued at Sc horse power.
Color Contrasts Effective
Coupled with the incorporation of
horizontal hood louvres and chro-
MUM plating on headlampS and
other exterior parts formerly nickel
plated are numerous other refine
ments that greatly enhance the ap-
pearance of all "68 and "78" body
styles. A larger radiator and new
head lamps and mountings have
been added to the New Series So
New bumpers on both lines, lsrg-
er and more massive than before
also have been added.
Unusual contrast with the colo,
schemes, which will continue in the
Jewel colors that proved so popula,
in the preceding series, has beer
obtained by the use of chromium
plating on the exterior parts of botl
lines.
