Montgomery County. who used to speak
powerful political pieces In the Mary

most Of the folk residing In the county
as Senator" even though the days of
his senatorial toga are behind him.
Andrew now runs to running. Just es
he did for Georgetown University back
In the old days, but instead of doing the
running himself, he let's others do it for
him. In other words, the Senator" has
gone beyond the stage of q competitor
and has retired to that comfortable
milestone where he does the promoting

Association and during those mellow
days OF october he presides over the

the nrSt round OF what may deyelon
into an all-seaSon battle for the Cum

over Colunbia's classic course. THE
conbatants are Robert H. Gardner. the
Atlanta lightweight title holder. paired
with Maj. Earl N. Maiden, who used
to be Array champion, against Miller B,

The boys have all been placing small

PIECES Of JUNK
LEAVING ROAD

Although 2,925,0OO automobiles
were consigned to the junk heap
last year. there are in service to-
day more than 100000 cars pro
duced seven years ago or earlier,
according to a study made by
the Silvertown Safety League.
Figures on old cars in service
were gathered because of a wide
spread opinion that superannu-
ated vehicles on the roads tend
to be a menace to the safety Of
other highway users. In recogni-
ton Of this condition, the Ma
tional Automobile Chamber of
Commerce has sponsored a high
way safety program under which
dealers are encouraged to jurk
old cars they acquire in trades.
Scrapping Of cars last year car
ried on at an unprecedented rate,
causing an actual decrease in
registration, which stood on De-
cember 81 at 23,042,840 cars,
against 23,121,589 at the end of
1929.
On the other hand, estimates
made by the Automobile Trade
Journal show that at the end of
last year approximately 3,262,00O
cars produced in 1923 or earlier
were still in service

REQ IS SHOWING
ENTHUSIASM

One of the brightest pictures
on the automobile horizon is dis
closed at REQ in Lansing.
Distributors, dealers and retail
salesmen are displaying more
genuine enthusiasm than has
been observed in months. I'm
promptu meetings are being held
almost daily at the factory for
distributors who bring in their
dealers and. in many cases. pros
pective purchasers, to see new
lines of trucks and passenger
cars not yet revealed to the pub
lie. On all sides one hears talk
of impending deals-fleet orders
that Oring memories of the
industry's balmiest days.
While announcement Of .he
new models has not yet been
made, it is no secret that the
enthusiasm centers about an
astonishing new 1h-ton truck
which will sell at a price un-
heard of for REQ, and two new
Flying Clouds, an eight and a
six also at new low prices. In
fact, no new model Flying Clouds
have ever been offered at any,
where near the base prices
placed on these cars.

From May % to June 10 mo-
torists generally are invited to
participate in a special program
arranged for Buick showrooms in
all parts of the country.
Ali of the 5000 dealers joining

the event. One interesting fea-
ture is that everyone will be given
a chance to drive one Of the new

In this connection, C. w. Chur-

out that the real test of an auto

Simple Test ShOWs
If Coil Is Operating

When the coil appears to have
ceased functioning there is a
simple t t that may be applied
to determine this fact. Attach
one end of piece Of insulated
wire to the frame of the car or
other metallic ground. Then
bring the other to within N
eighth of an incn of the high
tension wire of the coil. Crank
the motor by hand. If spark
is created the coil is operating
properly.
If there is no spark and the
line between battery and coil is
in good condition, the coil is at
