United Motor Station Adds
Testing Devices to
Equipment.

Among the outstanding features
of the opening of the new quarters
of the United Motor Service station,
1902 North Meridian street Satur-
day was the demonstration of the
testing equipment which the firm
has added to it's facilities with the
increase of space in the new loca-
ton.
Wires and tubes attached to
various parts of the engine, dialS
and other indicators mounted on a
panel give picture" OF the inner
workings of the engine.
Dials tell of the compression built
up in each cylinder, the intensity OF
the ignition spark and other things
that go to make an engine run
properly.
George E. Hall, manager OF the
Indianapolis branch of the firm, as
serts that service work will be ex-
banded considerably in the new
quarters, which rank with the
largest in this part of the country.
Phil CReO Shafer, known to In
dianapolis folk as successful race
driver with converted stock cars,
will have charge of the service staff.
Formerly the firm limited its
work to specific engine troubles,
while in the new establishment work
will be extended into a more COM
plete repair service for automobiles.
Included in the activities of the
new branch are specialized service
on starting, lighting, ignition, shock
disorders, speedometers, gauges, ra-
diator, horn fuel pump, hot water
heater, oil filter, air cleaners, gaso-
line strainerS, brakes, radio, lubri-
cation, wheel alignment and other
difficulties that keep the car from
performing as it did in its youth.

Stration of the advantages of indi-

of this new type of construction, will
be given visitors at a Century of
Progress fair in Chicago this year.
While much has been printed
about individual springing, few
motorists have had an opportunity
to witness the rigid factory tests
which answer the question:
How will this type of Springing
stand up under the worst possible
road conditionS?"
The Plymouth Motor Corporation
is answering this question, and all
others regarding individual spring.
ing, in the sand pit tests which will
be conducted at the Chrysler Motors
exhibit at the Chicago fair this
year, according to N. S. Hadley,
chief engineer of the Plymouth
Motor Corporation.
Every one who has ridden in one
of our new cars with individual
springing is agreed that the riding
is vastly superior" Mr.. Hadley
states. But, naturally, lots of peo-
pie have asked the question-'How
does it stand up?'"
Those who attend the fair will
see for themselves that photographs
of tests are the real thing-that the
tests themselves are breath taking
and thrilling to watch.
The sand pit at the exposition is
replete with hills and valleys, and
the Plymouth cars will be put
through PAGES that in one week will
represent more than two years of
actual rough driving at the hands
of the ordinary motorist.

AUBURN FUEL
TEST OFFERED !
AS new MARK
441 Miles on 1914 Gallons
Covered by Six-Cylinder
Brougham.
By Times Special

By Times special
AUBURN, Ind, May 30.-All rec
ords for gas mileage economy for
full size automobile are believed
to have been broken by an Auburn
six brougham, it is announced by
factory officials.
The car, owned by the Southwest
Automobile Company, Auburn dis
tributor for st. Louis, was driven
from St. Louis to Springfield, Mo-,
and return, distance of AL miles,
using only 1874 gallons of gasoline
making an average of 2689 miles
to the gallon. 1t is believed that
this is a record unequaled at any
time by any car of approximate
weight or size.
The test was run under the SUI
perviSion of a st. Louis newspaper
in conjunction with the Standard
Oil Company Superservice station.
The gas tank was officially sealed
at the station by a representative
of the Standard company and the
seal was broken upon its return
by the same representative when the
gas remaining in the tank was
drained and measured.
The run was made over the IA
nous Ozark trail, where many steep
grades and considerable traffic were
encountered. Throughout the run
the speed of the car was kept at
-
hour.
The car used in the test was an
Auburn custom six brougham taken
from the showroom floor of the
Southwest Automobile Company. No
special devices were used, but the
carburetor of the car was carefully
checked and tested by represen-
tative of the Carter Carburetor Cor
poration.

Gas Saving Hint

Gas consumption in an old car
may be materially decreased by
cleaning the inside of the carbu-
rotor with muratic acid. After
cleaning thoroughly, however, the
parts should be dipped in ammonia
and washed in water to prevent
further action of the acid.

Fire Last Evening Gene Conner House
 Put Out Quickly

The fire department was called out about eight-thirty last night to answer an alarm coming from in front of the hospital. The chemical equipment made the run in fast time to discover that the home of Gene Conner and wife was afire.
 With the aid of the chemical the fire which was blazing inside was soon under control. The water was immediately connected and hose applied to the building, extinguish- ing the fire. About two hundred dol lars in damage was reported.
 The blaze started, it was reported, when one of the children caused a calendar to become ignited, close to a gas lamp. Before anything could be done the entire room was afire. Gene Conner and wife rushed their child ren out of the house and turned in an alarm by pounding on the tenn porary one, the iron rail hanging in front of the hospital. The flames did not break through the walls or roof of the building fortunately and were easily placed under control be- fore any added danger developed.

In removing the time lock mech anism from the burglar proof safe of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Nome, for cleaning and overhaul ing by Harry Hagen, jeweler, some piece of machinery evidently did not go back into its proper place.
 The safe cantains the bulk of the currency and is usually kept locked all of the time except when trans fers of currency are made, and then it is locked up again immediately.
 The safe was locked as usual, says President Grant R. Jackson, and now it is found that the combina- tions will not respond and the safe cannot be opened. However, wires were sent to the safe company for instructions as to how to open it, and at the same time arrangements have been made to have an addition al supply of currency shipped in by airplane from Fairbanks and the States. Considerable currency is contained in the safe but there is a quantity on hand which will suffice until the additional money arrives.
