 After Butrim denied that he had attempted to force his attentions upon the girl, in reply to a. question on the point by Assistant Prescott ing Attorney W. M. Greenstein, Miss Beale told the court that although the girl had made such an allegation at first she had later explained that he pulled the cover off her bed but had not made improper advances MT. Greenstein called on Sergeant Flynn, who testified that the girl told him in Miss Beale's presence of the alleged improper advances, and the girls brother also heard her make the statement. Judge Traces Ri remarked that the case would have a much more serious aspect had Butrim actually attempted a violation of the moral code.

Karl Butrim, 47, l23 Overlook avenue was repri- manded and warned by Judge Stan ley J. Traceski in police court today ana given a suspended jail sentence or 50 days. The case was turned over to Probation Officer E. C. Connolly and Butrlm was given to understand that, while he had the right to pun lsh his children in reasonable and humane manner. the law did not permit him to whale" them as the girl accused him of having done yesterday.
 Sergeant M. J. Flynn of the detec- tive bureau testified that he and Off, fcers Liebler and Massey made the arrest after Miss Cora NJ. Beale of the New Britain Welfare association had reported that residents of the Overlook avenue neighborhood had complained of having heard the girl screaming about o'clock in the morning. Butrim was intoxicated, the sergeant said.
 Miss Beale testified to receiving the complaint and finding the girls body a. mass of welts and bruises, as bad as she had ever seen. A younger sister was afraid to spend the night in the house because of Butrlm s intoxicated condition. Miss Beale said, and 1t was learned that he had been drinking heavily since Sunday The investigation disclosed that he worked in a local factory and attended to his duties well but when he was out of work he turned to drink and made life miserable for his children, who have been mother less for the past few years.
 The victim of the assault testified that yesterdays beating was admin istered while she was in bed, her father entering her room and after pulling off the bed covers, began striking her with strap while she was powerless to escape from him. She knew of no reason for his &C., tions, she said.

A uniform scale of "anti-knock"
value for testing gasoline which will
give automotive engineers, motorists and
oil ref1ners throughout the country q
definite standard by which they may
judge fuel quality is soon to solve one
of the most pressing needs of the indus
try, according to DR.. Graham Edgar.
director of research and former head
of the department of chemistry in the
University of Virginia.
This scale will be the product of two
years research work under the CO.
operative steering committee formed by
the American Petroleum Institute and
the Society of Automotive Engineers.
The final steps will be the adoption of
the scale, DR.. Edgar said, and its certifi-
cation by the United States Bureau Of
Standards, which is represented on the
subcommittee on detonation appointed
by the cooperative committee.
Anti-Knock Testing.
I'm these days, when the words anti
knock 'non-knocking,' ETC., are con-
stantly before the eyes of the motorist,
it may be interesting to tell something
Of the way in which the 'anti-knock'
properties of motor fuels are tested.
Many laboratory tests are carried out
in way which seems to bear little
relation to practical use, but this is not
true of tests for 'anti-knock' value. Such
tests are always carried out in an en-
CINE differing in no way fundamentally
from an actual automobile engine.
And just as the motorist can find
out for himself approximately the rela-
tive 'anti-knock' value of different
gasolines by comparing them in his car,
SO the more precise methods of the
laboratory always consist in comparing
the fuel under test with some refer
ence fuel whose characteristics are
known.
Practically all laboratories employ
a single-cylinder engine, equipped with
means of keeping the speed and tenn
perature extremely constant and with
some means of recording the intensity
Of the knock. Some methods use sim
ply the car to detect the knock in an
engine; others employ such devices as
the, bouncing pin,' and several types
of Instrumentation are occasionally
used.
"One of the most widely used knock
testing engines is a single-cylinder en-
CINE of very high compression, whose
temperature is kept constant by means
Of boiling water and whose speed is con-
trolled by Synchronous motor. ES-
sential details are a bouncing pin and
knock meter to measure the knock in
tensity and a doub' fuel carburetor by
which 1t is possible to shift rapidly
back and forth between the fuel to be
tested and some reference fuel.
Adjustment of Engine.
"In operating this engine, the engine
is adjusted to give moderate knock on
the chosen reference fuel and this knock
Is recorded by the knock meter. The
engine is then shifted to the unknown
fuel and the knock meter shows almost
instantly whether the fuel is better or
worse than the reference fuel Then a

AUTO MAKERS GIVE
ORDERS FOR PARTS
Accessory Manufacturers
Feeling Stimulus of New
Model Construction.

Current production of the leading &C
cessory and parts manufacturers is feel
ing the stimulus that is resulting from
increased ordering on the part of those
manufacturers of passenger cars who
are shortly to place new models on the
market, according to B. H. Cram, In
duStry authority.
This condition has checked the
downward trend in parts and accessory
manufacturing that has been noticeable
during the past few weeks and, as a
result, operations have steadied at
somewhat better levels, where they will
undoubtedly remain for at least 80
days. These equipment orders have
resulted in a considerably improved
financial outlook for the current quar-
ter. The volume Of business which
several plants are reporting is suffi-
Gent to result in considerably increased
earnings for the period than would be
the case If this class of business were
not now available. The replacement
market continues to present favorable
aspect, with most local markets report
ing a fairly substantial volume of retail
business. An improving tendency is
generally reported, and, as result, it
is extremely probable that the present
favorable condition will exist for at
least another so or 80 days.

OPERATIONS IN JULY
FOLLOW JUNE TREND
Automotive Conditions Outlined in
Weekly Report of B. H. Cram,
Industry Expert.

The first week in July finds manu-
featuring operations in the automotive
industry following the same trend that
was apparent during most Of June, &C
cording to B. H. Cram, president of
Grams Automotive Reports, Inc.
Output is being steadily reduced, and
there is no doubt but that July will
show the lowest production of any
month since January of this year, and
there is possibility that the drop will
go below that month, making the cur
rent levels the lowest of the year.
Many plants have closed or will close
before August, and while in some cases
shipments will be continued, produc-
ton will be at a practical standstill.
AS a result of these conditions, no d.
rect comparisons with other months or
other years is possible. Many new
models will be announced before the
end of July, the most important OF
which will be confined to the medium
priced range, with the introduction of
many new eight-cylinder models to re-
place former SKIES. This trend toward
eight-cylinder power plants began about
the first of this year, and the result OF
the Midsummer announcements Will be
that practically the entire high and
medium price class will carry eight
cylinder engines.
AlCer comparatively hCJlVe tLhee
months beginning April /, sales may
be expected to drop off during July
This decline may be looked upon as
entirely seasonal in its nature, for past
experience has shown that the period
just prior to and during the announce
ment of new models is usually dull
Accordingly, sales inactivity during July
will in no way reflect on the strength
ened condition of the automotive mar
ket SO apparent during the next &c
days The current survey of the sales
situation indicates that any decline
during July will be gradual one. Sales
are this week claSsed as good in three
trade centers against the same condi-
lions in four places two weeks ago
Twenty-four areas are reported fair
and nine slow in the previous report
The indicated trend is even stronger al
present than 1t was two weeks ago. New
car stocks have increased very slightly
| in a few cities, but it is doubtful If thi:
increase applies TO the country at large
| I,ow-priced car sales have shown thu
largest decline, with medium and higl
priced models reported just slightly un
der two weeks ago. Used cars, on thu
other hand, have gained, and stock
are reported lower and decreasing. Re
possessions have declined slightly, du
probably to the leSSened sales volume o
the past 80 days. as compared with tn
80 days previous.

PROPER CARE OF AUTO
OUTLINED BY ENGINEER
Five Recommendations Stressed to
Remedy Sluggishness of
Faltering Cars.

For putting car in good running
order and as contribution to safety,
the following five recommendations are
made by Hector Rabezzana, research
engineer:
/. Have brakes tested and properly
adjusted. This is for quick declaration.
2. Wheels properly aligned and tires
in good shape. This improves steering,
guards against blowouts and saves tire
wear.
3. Ignition inspected to see that
spark plugs, breaker points and cables
are in good condition. This for quick
acceleration and to avoid loss Of power,
especially on hills.
4. Engine tested to see that valves
and rings are o. K. This also Tor
maximum power.
S. fabrication attended to and oil
filter inspected. This to minimize
engine wear.
Attention to these items also would
relieve traffic congestion through
remedying sluggishness in those latter
ing. cars that hold UP the parade
Rabezzana says.
