Local Service Garage
Uses New "Auto- Rock"
Lubricating Machine

"We extend a personal invitation
to all our customers, old and new,
to have their cars fabricated prac-
tically under driving conditions
with our new gentle swaying Auto
Rock machine which we have just
installed to give superior service"
said Mr.. Carl Causey, manager of
the modern Mcconnell and Causey
service station and garage located
at 18th and Market streets.
There is no extra charge when
you have us lubricate your car
this better way. 1t is another way
for you to experience a new SEN
sation in driving. And, if you find
that the fabrication of your car
with our new machine does not
surpass any stationary fabrication
job you have ever received there
will be no charge for our SERVICE"
he said.
This new, sensational way of
lubricating cars with the Auto
Rock opens up spring leaves and
free shackles; assures perfect lub-
rication of knee-action unit and en-
tire front system; and, detects

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY, Dec.
29.-R-Estimates Of the number
of German troops moving across
Hungary rose from the original
300, 900 to 600, 900 today as reports
indicated that at least some of
them might remain in Hungary.
The bulk of them were bound for
Rumania.
Hungarian and Rumanian cen
sorship blotted out many details
of the movement and destination
but there were enough confirmed
facts to keep the Balkans nervous.
Hungary's minister of agrieul-
ture, Michael Teleki, resigned to-
day because, it was reported, he
differed with the government over
the mas movement of German
troops through Hungary.
Other dissension within the gov
eminent also was reported but it
could not be learned whether more
designations might be expected.
There was no sign so far that
the Germans planned to take a
grip on Hungary as they already
have on Rumania.
The thoroughness with which
German army railroad technicians
have taken hold of Hungarian rail
lines between Slovakia and south
eastern Europe indicated they plan
to retain control until they have
completed whatever campaign they
may be organizing in the Balkans.
