ALARM FOILS AUTO THIEVES Device on Market to Raise Noise When Tamperer Touches Car. A device designed to protect the owner of an automobile not only against theft, but also against the illegal use of his car and the annoyance caused by tamperers Is being marketed by Helsbels, Incorporated, of Chicago. It is an alarm signal located in a protected box on the running board which is so connected with the car as to emit an alarm whenever the car is tampered with in any degree. It possesses the further advantage of being so constructed that disconnection or efforts to disconnect it immediately set it into full cry. O. H. Kepley, president of the corporation, says It is the plan of the company to educate the public to realize that no Helsbels-equipped -ar is in the hands of its owner when the alarm Is sounded. He says the device Is In demand among truck owners who handle valuable merchandise and autolsts who wish absolute protection for their cars. Mr. Kepley says of the device: It Is a rigid, heavily constructed aluminum box containing a floating, nonmechanical electric switch, which is thrown into electrical contact by a verv slight vibration. This contact sets off a self-inclosed alarm. The battery, compensating switch and the alarm are inside the heavy pase, and there is no outside connection to the alarm. Vertical vibrations or road shocks will not set off the alarm. It affects only ! y a vibration caused by touching or moving the car. In the top of the heavily constructed box is the alarm switch, from which we also wire to the ignition, making this an ignition switch. This is the only wiring leaving the case and has nothing whatever to do with the alarm device proper. Cutting the ignition wiring would cause the alarm to sound, and consequently would frustrate a thief. The device proper, which is of very rigid construction, but weighs only ap- 1 proximatelv eighteen pounds, is attached to the right running board and cannot be removed or disturbed without causing an alarm for such a period of time that theft of the car would be made impossible. The owner when leaving the car throws the combination switch, which also disconnects the ignition. T'ntll the owner returns this switch to its neutral position and connects the ignition no one can disturb the car without causing a fiendish alarm. Any attempt to open the device to get at the combination switch causes an alrm and the switch itself has

The device is protected against acids, water, short circuits, and is in every way so constructed that it cannot be put out of commission within a reasonable length of time. It is necessary to rnew batteries yearly. at an expense of two dry-cells. The basic necessity in an alarm device is that it will alarm when disturbed and Instantly stop when tampering ceases. Such an alarm has been impossible until the Helsbels compensating switch was invented, inasmuch as any mechanical switch would be entirely too expensive. Nothing in the Helsbels device is complicated and there is nothing to get out of order after a device has been sealed. New York Doctor to Speak at Richmond Special to The Times.

The Truth About Indianapolis

PARIS may set the style for Milady’s hats and frocks, but the automobile manufacturers in Indianapolis are the criterion of the styles of fine cars in which she motors. There are more fine car builders in Indianapolis than in any other city in the United States. Eight of the eleven automobile manufacturers in this city build high-priced cars. The cheapest automobile and those among the highestpriced are Indianapolis-made products. Automobiles with a retail value of $95,000,000 were manufactured in this city last year. The manufacturers exported to every continent automobiles valued at $7,000,000, so that In-dianapolis-made automobiles travel the roads of every principal country in the world. As high as 8,500 men and women were engaged in the industry in this city in 1920. This week’s Auto Show, at the State Fair Grounds, with its 117 exhibitors displaying $1,000,000 worth of automobiles, trucks and accessories reflects the importance of the automobile industry in Indianapolis.
