VEXING CAR ILLS
HAvF SIMPLE
CAUSES
Obvious Solutions to Irking An
noyanCes Often Overlooked;
Experiences Prove Valuable
BY J. LEO SUGRUE,
Times Automobile Editor

Maintenance problems are not
as frequent or as complex as they
once we're, but when they are pre-
sented they still BATTLE the trained
mechanic ar c7r owner alike.
The trouble-shooter, tina, expert
observer who calls to his aid all
the varied information he has
Learned about cars, still has his
place in motoring.
The motoriSt of today has the
advantage, however, of being able
to take his difficulties to me-
chanics who have learned a great
dea! about automobiles. But even
they admit that there a.'e occa-
sions when they are baffled And
the significant feature Is that
troubles that frequently appear so
rerpleXing have amazingly SIMPLE
causes.
Causes Usually Simple
Many of the problems that
cause the most skilled mechanic
to scratch his head in desperation
often turn out to have their
origin in things that, when they
become known, make him wonder
why he hadn't thought Of the real
reason in the beginning. And it
is not the newer refinementS and
developments in design that prove
perplexing. but often it is the
basic features of construction.
One car owner was troubled
with a leak in the cylinder head
gaSket on his new car. There
was no apparent reason for it
since the car was one of a we'll
Anown make and substantially
built. But the leak persisted. A
friend told him a story of how
he had had similar trouble. and
the cylinder head itself was found
to be out Of line. He suspected
the trouble he was experiencing
had the same origin. But the
installation af a new gasket re-
suited in its disappearance. If
O1Cen happens CnaC an owner Will
"knock" his car when there is
absolutely no justification for do
ing 80.
Motorists have worked for weeks
and even months to solve a cer-
tain problem, enlisting the aid of
competent service men and fac
tory experts. The thought is that
every trouble conquered is step
ahead in knowing the car better
and in perfecting it's use.

SHAVER OF SIX
 YEAR OLD GIRL ' STILL AT LARGE
Every PrecautiOn Is Being Taken i1 Cincinnati to Prevent Mob Violence, If Killer Is Found

Cincinnati, ohio, Dec. 23.--(UP) --Search for the degenerate slayer of six-year-old Marian Mclean went forward to-day in a city stirred to precautions against mob action as two suspects were held and questioned.
 One suspect was a 42-year-old hermit who lived in shack in the neighborhood. In one corner of his hut, police found a bucket, partly filled with murky, red water. Po- lice said the suspect admitted he had been mopping the floor. City chemists were to analyze the water to-day.
 The youngster who had been confined to her home by illness, then turned out to play in the bright sunshine Q few days before the Christmas season, was found brutally attacked and slain yester- day.
 She had not been seen since she disappeared five days ago with Q dark looking stranger" as report ed by her little playmates in the slum district of this city.
 The child's body was found in the cellar of a tenement house. Att tacks and loss of blood caused her death, in the opinion of Dr. J. M. Patterson, deputy coroner.
 Aroused by the brutality of the crime, the department of safety used every resource in search for the murderer. More than 150 fire- men and policemen joined in a sys- tematic search.
 One of the meager clues police N.a AA,,taA vNItttAnnA into the soft dirt of the cellar floor near the body. The knife, police felt, was 0 crude ruse designed to screen the real cause of death.
 The chief object of search was for the prison chamber where the pretty falr-haired child had been held captive before her death. Death occurred, the assistant cor oner reported, lest than 15 hours before the body was found. The body had been carried to the tene- ment basement from some other place. police said.
 While the most frenzied search in the city's history was in progress, Marian's mother, Mrs. Mildred Me- Lean, was grief-stricken.
 "I don't know how I can face Christmas now" she sobbed, among the toys and trinkets she had bought for Marian, her only child.
 Meanwhile, her estranged hus- band, Joseph Mclean, Marian's father, was speeding to Cincinnati by airplane. He was fin Phoenix, Ariz., in quest of work when word of the chi1ds death reached him. Virtually penniless, he prepared to "bum" his way home on q freight train when an airplane company and local newspaper furnished him transportation.

15,OOO Very Costly
 Volumes Destroyed

, First examination indicated that Q central pilaster of marble and ali- baster gave way and caused the other pilasters to fall.
 The four walls of the wing, built by Pope Sixtus V in 1888, remained standing, preventing destruction of many valuable objects. Workmen were repairing the building when the wing collapsed.
 While searchlights played on the debris 20 feet deep Q faint cry led rescuers to the spot where Profess sor Carlo Vattaso, Q painter, was buried. He was standing on Q scaf- fold, retouching a frescoe when the roof fell. Vattaso was alive but died soon after removal to the hos- pital.
 A letter written by Martin Luther replying to the warning of Pope Leo x was recovered by workmen. They were forced to so slowly in removing the debris lest they destroy some part of the H. brary treasure not totally ruined.
 "The damage may not be so se- rious, because only the central part of the floor in the main hall of the front section collapsed" said Mon- slgneurd Eugene Tisserant, assist ant precept of the library.
 "Six priceless manuscripts have been recovered. The most impor- tant were in book case attached to the wall and were not damaged seriously"
 An accurate check of the per- sons in the library when the wing collapsed was difficult, as the crash occurred at dusk, a few minutes after most of the attendants had finished their days work. The Vatican fire department, gendarmes and detectives and scores of work men were rushed to the scene.
 Detectives watched as rare vol- umes and manuscripts were brought out of the ruins. A close check was made on each of the pieces recovered.
 Pope Plus xI received regular reports on the work of excavation from the library precept, Monsig- nor Giovanni Mercati. The Pope's private office was in the section of the library that crashed. The sec- ton comprises one fourth of the entire library and is 220 feet long and 70 feet wide.
 1Ope rus iOrHleTiy was neuu VI the library.
 Most of the men who escaped after the crash got out through a hole in the wall. It was feared that the missing men were trapped without means of escape.
 Three fifths of the precious codes of Santa Sophia was recov- cred. It was hoped that the rest would be found. The historic font in which the son of Napoleon II was baptised was seriously dam aged.
 Among the treasures in the wing were frescoes, books. codicils, and many autographs of kings and queens since the beginning of the 17th century.
 The Pope arose at 6:30 a. m. to- day and immediately inquired af- ter the victims of the accident. He said the loss of life was more shocking than the loss of the art treasures, and ordered removal of the debris speeded up in the hope that two other workmen would be found alive.
 He ordered the families of the victims provided for and offici- ated at a mass for their souls.
