WILL BE IN MY OFFICE AT ALL TIMESc-SHANK (Continued From rage One.) best to see that some of these bonds are retired during my administration and I certainly am going to use every bit of influence I hate to induce the p#rk board not to buy any more large parks until we get some of the others paid for.” ' HE’S GOING TO TRY TO GET RID OF SHIFT. Although he has not formally requested a resignation Mr. Shank declared he was going to try his best to rid the city government of Lucius B. Swift, chairman of the board of sanitary commissioners. Before Mr. Shank had announced his intention of ousting Swift, the commissioner rushed into the public press with a statement declaring, in effect, that Mr. Shank had better not try to touch him. This caused Mr. Shank to state that if that was the way Mr. Swift felt about it he'd have to “give Mr. Swift a run for his money.” "I'm not a lawyer and I don’t know just the exact procedure, but I understand there is a legal way to get rid of this man Swift. I am going to in : struct our legal talent to go right after him and he’s going to have to step some. I think we've got enough on him right now to go into the courts and oust him. I'm going after him every way we can think of—suits, injunctions and so forth.” By way of keping the public accurately Informed of what is going on In the city government, Mr. Shank said he plans to have the city controller prepare a monthly statement on the general financial condition of the city and have the heads of departments submit monthly accounts of the expenditures, receipts and balances in their department funds. These reports he probably will have submitted at the monthly cabinet meeting, which he will revive. The law provides that the mayor fcshall hold cabinet meetings once a month. 'The cablhet comprises the department heads. Mayor Charles W. Jewett held a few such meetings in the middle of his administration, but the department heads have not been called together for months. The value of such sessions lies in the exchange of ideas and advice, giving the mayor the direct benefit of the experiences of his lieutenants to be applied to the solution of general problems. ONE PLAN THAT SHANK ADVOCATES. One of the plans for obtaining accurate information upon what the people want, advocated by Mr. Shank, is that whenever a controversy over ai y improvement proposed by the board of public works arises an inspector shall be sent to the affected neighborhood to take a poll of every citizen financially Interested. The present system is for the board of vforks to listen to such citizens as take the trouhle to appear before it on the day of hearing upon a resolution. Sometimes the present board acts according to the wishes of the majority of people who appear and sometimes It does not. The board meets at 10 o'clock on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. It Is practically Impossible for most working people to get to the city hall at these times and so the vast majority never get an opportunity to personally express their views upoa Improvements. Since the greater part of the taxpayers are working people who have gained ownership of their modest homes after years of hard work and saving, often at the cost of foregoing some of the actual necessities of life, Mr. Shank believes some system should be devised .by which these people could be given |bn opportunity to have a voice upon Improvements which sometimes add hundreds of dollars to their financial burdens. HILL INSIST STREET PLAINTS BE ANSWERED. The mayor-elect said he is going to Insist that the street commissioner have his men answer complaints about holes in the streets and (sidewalks and troubles in the sewer system immediately. “I’m going to have men right on the job to answer complaints just as fast as It is humanly possible,” he asserted. “It might be. of course, that the men would get overloaded with work and it would be a few days before a repair would be made, but there is going to be no more of this thing of receiving.complaints, promising repairs and then let the matter lay around until it finally is forgotten.” Special attention will be given to the situation in Brightwood, where the clay subsoil swallows up almost nil of the gravel and cinders placed upon unimproved streets. The real solution of Bright wood's street troubles is in the' laying of improved pavements, it has been pointed out a number of times, but the difficulty lies' in the fact that most of the home owners of Brightwood do not have the funds available to ray the heavy cost of paving. "We've simply got to find some way of taking care of those Brightwood people without putting too much expense upon them,” said Mr. Shank. ANOTHER PROBLEM TO GET ATTENTION. Another street problem that is going to receive considerable attention, according to Mr. Shank, is the preservation of wood block pavements. Every time there is a spell of rainy weather almost all wooden Meek pavements are seriously damaged. This, eccording to experts, is due to the |fsct that the creosote has dried out of the blocks, making it possible for water to soak them. There ought to be some process of treating the blocks with more creosote or some kind of oil to prevent this water soaking, Mr. Shank said, and he is going to have Job.* Lloyd Elliott, his new city civil engine*!!, look into the matter. Inspectors are going to inspect under Mayor Shank. He said every inspector is "going to be on the job and by that 1 mean that he is going to be on the job,” upon every contract let by the board of public works. The weights and m“asures department is going to be required to watch *coal and ice deliveries closely, Mr. Shank said. ( The women assistant market masters will ! be expected to help out the weights and j measures inspectors at the city market ! by watching closely for short weighing and overcharging. City license ordinances will be enforced strictly so that the city will get every penny In revenue coming to it from these sources, he promised. LETTERS AND TELEGRAMS PILE CP AT HOME. More than 1,000 telegrams and letters are piled upon a table at Mr. Shank's home, 3547 East Washington street. “It Is simply Impossible for me personally to answer all of these, so I want to tell everybody who wrote to me that I thank them for their congratulations and offers of cooperation and they will have to wait until I get into the mayor's office to thank them more directly. I will see everybody at the mayor's office after Jan. 2. "I've got every kind of x letter and telegram Imaginable in that pile. One fellow wrote me twenty-four pages. He started on Sunday afternoon, wrote some more on Monday and finished It on Tuesday. He wanted to tell me he just sleep because he was worrying ko about what all the little doggies were going to do out In the cold, old world if he isn’t appointed to a job at the citydog pound.” Problems facing the city will be taken up In detail at the first meeting of the mayor with department heads, which probably will be held Dec. 15, Mr. Sjank •aid. Following pleas from every part of the city, Mr. Shank said he will retain R. Walter Jarvis, present ccmmissioner of recreation, who is in a hospital at Philadelphia, in some capacity in the recreation department.

NEWS AND NOTES OF THE AUTOMOBILE WORLD

Judging by the verdict expressed by the crowds who have been looking at the new series of the good Maxwell at the show rooms of the Condultt Automobile Company on North Delaware street they are going to be extremely popular. The Couduitt Auto Company is bolding open house this week and entertaining visitors until 10 o'clock each night. O. A. Chillson reported that more than two thousand people called to see the new scries the first two days of the display. All four models of the series are being shown—the touring, roadster, -sedan and coupe. The steering wheel and the driving mechanism i so placed as to be easily accessible and the clutch action is particularly easy. Sturdy side curtains, mounted on rods and which attach to the body of the car with anew catch that works without any skinning of fingers, are a touch that will be appreciated. Also, the fact that these curtains instead of being rolled up with the result that the lights soon crack, are placed in a neat compartment in the back of the front seat. The upholstery of the touring car is real leather and the top is smartly designed of water-proof material. Disc steel wheels with demountable rims are regular equipment with artillery wood wheels optional. The appearance of the car is added to by a plateglass rear window in the curtains. Mechanically the sedan, is of course, the same as the other cars of the new series, but its beauty and the thoughtfulness for the convenience and coinfort of the passengers which is exhibited in the details of furnishings and fittings make it stand'out. The upholstery in gray broadcloth, the tone being Tery high and dignified and a heavy wool carpet covers the floors of both compartments. There is also a car-pet-covered foot rest in the rear compartment. , There is plenty of room in both compartments and the seats are exceedingly comfortable. The windows are operated by crank and the back and rear side windows are mounted in rubber cushions to make absolute lack of rattle certain. The windshield is unique in that It is hinged top and bottom, opening at the middle only. This affords complete ventilation but makes certain that there can be no drip of rain under the windshield. Small buttons on the Interior door handles lock three doors quickly and surely, the right front door having a Yale lock on the outside. The driving compartment is comfortable. the drivl. ; mechanism all being placed to make driving easy. Women will especially appreciate the ease with which the clutch works, a mere touch being sufficient to disengage it. The disc steel wheels, with demountable rims and 31x4 cord tires, serve to set the car off and add to its beauty of line. Painty cowl lights, which are miniature of the drum-shaped headlights give added distinction to the car and a separate switch provides for their lighting with the tail light for parking. There Is also a windshield wiper as regular equipment and a rear vision mirror to give added safety to driving. A further convenience in Alemite system of chassic lubrication and special foot pads on the running board. -I- -!- -!- In the automobile world Buick severa’ years ago attained the enviable position of leadership, evidenced by the fact tha* It was awarded first choice of spac< at the national automobile shows, an honor conferred upon Buick by all other automobile manufacturers who are members of the National Automobile Cham her of Commerce. Tha Buick exhibit will be found thlf year occupying the same space at thr shows It has occupie 1 for the past few years. -|- -|. With the used car market presenting high values at lower prices than any other time in the history of the automobile industry, and with the element of lime becoming more and more important in this hustling bustling period it is not only false economy but decidedly expensive not to own an automobile, according to Indianapolis motor dealers. Walking or riding the street cars represent so much time stricken from productive effort and consequently means lost of money. And not only does It mean loss of money, actual hard cash."hut It means the foregoing of the many chances for lucrative extra gain which the possession of an automobile opens up. Business deals which would ordinarily consume too much time to Investigate become profl* yielding actualities merely becanw your automobile has enabled you to cover them through its convenience and speed, linumerate only the actual money-getMnir opportunities which follow the purchase of an antomohile and Its Judicious use without considering tb® enormous dividends which the automobile yields in health and happiness to the purchaser nrfd his fanii’y and the broad extended outlook upon the

These racy 1921 Models put p ep in even the 1850 relics

conduct of affairs both in tha city and. surrounding vicinity which the automo-j bile brings about. Iu the purchase of a used car the most desirable qualities are endurance and dependability. To know that your car will endure the cruellest road work or tbe mildest pavement travel with equal de- J pendabllity is to know that satisfaction will follow your purchase. And used i cars today deliver these two qualities j more positively than ever before. The j man without a car Is shackled to the | cramped and overcrowded lines of trails i portation, suffering from both the loss of earning power and healthful recreation at an expense greater than could possibly accrue by the purchase of an automobile. Figure it out for yourself. -I- -IIndianapolis folk had t'leir first opportunity to view the model 800 Cole Aero Eight closed cars last week at the salesroom of the Lathrop-McFarland Company on Capitol avenue. This new model SIX) Is merely the fiveyear evolution of the original Cole Aero- ; Eight which was put on the market In j 1918, all fundamental engineering sea- j tures having been retained, and the j changes Incorporated being purely in the ' nature of refinement and superficial irn- ( provements. The braking system has been revised to such a degree that Cole Model 890 Aero-Eight Is 3aid to be establishing new brake efficiency records all over the coun- | try. The cbitch is extremely flexible and (oft-actioned, at the same time it is said to be extremely efficient and free from 411 ordinary clutch troubles —aluch scrubbing or slipping. The frame has been greatly strength- j en<‘d to give longevity to the car and to protect it against squeaks and rattles. The Pole, eight cylinder, “V” aviation type engine has been retained bodily. Acceleration, speed and economy tests show, it is claimed, remarkable compara j five value. j By concentrating on a single chassis factory costs are hebl* to the minimum, and nt the same time wide divergence and variety 111 bodies enables the Cole factory to supply its sales outlets tylth a car for every buyer’s whim. -I- -I- -!- In connection with the regular service enjoyed by Dort owners, E. A. Bennett, manager, E. A. Bennett Motor Sales Company, Dort distributor, suggests the following timely hints to Increase the enjoyment of winter driving: “With the zero months close upon ns it is a good plan to get a winter ‘set’ on the carburetor as soon as possible. The j colder weather necessitates a slightly dis- ; ferent carburetor adjustment so allow for j the greater density of the gasoline so that ! motorists may have the smooth perfor- I ance of motor that they enjoy during j summer months. "While this is being looked after, it is j also advisable to have the generator charging rate increased somewhat to al- j low for the harder pull in starting S caused by the congealed grease in motor 1 base and bearings. By setting the gon- j era tor charging rate up a couple of | points and reasonable care in starting, I the greater current consumption in j starting and longer use of lights should j be compensated for so that the battery j should contain a full charge al all times, j “A few simple rules if followed will j also help. The procedure in starting i should be to retard the spark, open the j throttle about a quarter, then before set- I ting the starter in motion be sure to j throw out the clutch. This is not only a ! good safety measure but releases some of the load on the starter as all bearings turn harder in cold weather. For the first couple of revolutions pull out the choker to its full extent and as soon as I the motor starts, push it in about half i way until tho motor becomes warm and ! then be sure not to run with the choker \ out any mice than is positively neees- j sary as this practice thins the luhricat- [ ing oil in the motor base. “It is also advisable to have your j radiator filled with an alcohol mixture, i By following these rules Dort owners should go through the entire winter without depleted batteries or nny other winter annoyances experienced only by 1 those who do not observe these automobile commandments. ’’ Rubber is very quickly disintegrated by oil. and at the same' time it has a most unfortunate capillary affinity for the oil. For this reason it is very important to keep oil away from the rubber insulators that are used in connection with the conductors and wires of all the circuits of the magnets. Although oil is not a conductor of electricity it ruins the insulation and the result is the 1 breakdown of the insulation and short \ circuits. The Citizens Auto Supply Company offers anew accessory to auto owners of : Indianapolis in the Airco Ignition Gauge. 1 Pearl Barnes, manager, refers to the gauge ns the watchdog of Ignition system and claims that It lives 'up to Its name. “The Airco Ignition Gauge.” said Mr. Barnes is a compact instrument about j fh< size of a man’s little finger. The j gn ige ennbles any motorist or other user of internal combustion engines to detect . Distantly fsblty spark plugs and to locate short-circuits and leaks of current

in the wiring between the plugs and the coil or magneto.” The gauge consists of nn Insulating hard rubber shell Into which Is packed a sensitized glass tube vs Neon. When the metal cap, which permanently seals one end of Alie gauge, is brought into contact wit# a high-tension electric Current, the Neon becomes luminous and omits flashes of orange-red light, visible through the Indicator opening in the side of the case. -I- -t- -I* The Hercules corporation of Evansville will bring out a four-cylinder car in the near future to be known as the McCurdy. Colonel W. n. McCurdy is president of the company and Gard Gale is sales manager. Mr. McCurdy was head of the old Hercules Buggy Company more than thirty years ago. Later he made gas engines and commercial bodies. The present Hercules factory covers thirty-one acres. -I- -I- *!* J. B. Melvin of the Melvin Sales Company is very enthusiastic over the ro- ! ports that are coining from the factory I about the new Grant Special now in production. Principle specifications of the new mode’ are six cylinder Grant engine, wheel base 11(1 Inches, Hurston transmission, Spicer universal Joints, Columbia axles, Strom berg carburetor, Bijur starter, Atwater Kent tgnltiou, 32xt cord tires and leather upholstery. The car will run sixteen to twenty miles to the gallon of gasoline and develops thirty-five to forty horse power. -i- -I- -!- When Marshal Ferdinand Fooh rodp forth in the American Legion parade In Kansas City, it was apparent that no detail which would contribute to the fitness of things had been overlooked, for Marsha 1 Foeh and the entire French delegation of twenty-eight generals were carried in cars bearing the name of their distinguished countryman—Lafayette. The car in which the Marshal himself rode was a Lafayette sedan driven by a young French war veteran who served in the Blue Devils during the war. The young soldier in uniform behind the wheel of M rshal Foeh's car added a picturesque touch to the historic occasion. -I- -I- -!- Anew device which enables a car to start Immediately in the coolest weather —even after standing for hours in a temperature of twenty degrees below zero —is announced by the Lincoln Motor Company. The new standard equipment, known as the Electro-Fog operates as a competent part of the specially built Lincoln carburetor. It consists of a receptacle for raw gasoline at the bottom of the carburetor, and an electric heating element which vaporizes this liquid into highly combustible “fuel fog.” -I- -|- -!- Twenty-two and one-half miles to the gallon of gasoline from Detroit to Los Angeles In a sedan is the eeononty mark set by Floyd Smith of the Eastern cily. The car. a Franklin,*carried four passengers and baggage on the trip, covering 3,025 miles, and arrived in Los Angeles with Detroit air in three tires, only one puncture being experienced. This is the third Franklin the Smith family has owned and the present car had only a month's limbering up before (he transcontinental Journey was begun. Mr. and Mrs. Smith are enthusiastic converts to this Inclosed type and declare the Franklin sedan, in addition to having so many comfort, features, is fully as easily handled on a tour as the open model#. -!- -I- -ITwo hundred and sixty-three thousand nine hundred new automobiles will be bought by readers of the Literary Digest, according to a survey of the magazine subscription list.

Department of Commerce reports exports of motor cars and trucks to Mexico for the first eight months of 1921 are 23 per cent of the same period last year. - An excellent compound for coating both the Inside and outside of rubber tires is five pounds of whitening stirred into a quart of gasoline. -I- -I- -|- TIPB FOR MOTORISTS. Don't turn corners rapidly. Do not neglect front wheel alignment. Every engine knock is a warning of trouble. Inspection before cranking a motor saves time and trouble. Don't use the choke except when necessary. Fse chains only when necessary and apply them properly. Dullness of the hood is brought about by the action of the intense heat from the engine, but is made worse by wash- , ing when the hood Is hot. The only solui tlon of the problem is to have the uu- | der surface of the hood lined with asbesj tos. Because of incorrect adjustment of the carburetor nearly one quarter of the gasoline used by motor vehicles is wasted iu incomplete combustion. ) Alwaj% keep batteries packed tightly, i If they are allowed to rattle and work ; loose, momentary short circuits will dc- ! velop. WATCH THE PERSON WHO— Jumps oft a moving car. Crosses a roadway at right angles I'ses the center of streets to cross, in place of crossings. Without thought walks to the middle of a highway and suddenly stops. Crosses tlte street with a bundle or um- ' breila over his head, or while reading a newspaper. i Steps off the curb and irrto the highway I looking in the direction of oncoming ■ traffic. SENATE TO RUSH BILLS THROUGH Expects to Ad journ % Session by Nov. 23. WASHINGTON, Nov.

Beaten by the Democratic side in an attempt to bring the Ford-Newberry election contest to an immediate issue, she majority side litis decided to postpone that fight 'until the third or fourth calendar day after Christmas. IRISH OUTCOME UP TO UNIONISTS If ‘Die Hard’ Element Wins, Premier Mry Quit. LONDON, Nov. 1(1.—All negotiations connected with the Irish question are expected to remain suspended until the result of the Unionists’ party convention in Liverpool is known. Should the "die hard” element in the ..party dominate, thus pledging the organization automatically to oppose, any concessions to Sinn Fein, it was regarded as certain that Pretniiy Lloyd George arid his ministry would be forced to carry out his threat to resign. There was every indication, however, that the more liberal element will dominate the convention.

30 NORTH PENNSYLVANIA ST., WHEN BUILDING

U. S. INTERESTS CENTERS IN FAR EAST DECISION (Continued From Page One.) review of the relations between the West and the East, bow they have expanded and the results that have accrued from them. When Balboa, in 1513, waded into the Pacific and took possession of the new ocean in the name of the King of Spain, he brought to Europe and America new opportunities for the conquests of trade and war, but he opened as well a sea of troubles and problems. Fringing those shores of the wide Pacific on the east lie the great problems of China and Japan, and while these old empires slept their hermit sleep, the roving Anglo-Saxons crept in and peopled (he continent of Australia and fertile New Zealand and appropriated the romantic, magic Islands of the South Seas. Gold discovered In California brought the Anglo-Saxons to the Pacific Coast of the United States and a slower settlement brought them to the western coast of Canada. And still the hermit empires slept their i ages-long sleep—both Mongolian, both civilizations, but differing in their outlook on life. China is a vast aggregation of peoples devoted to work, to business, as we understood the word—a country where to engage in business successfully brought, as with us, honor, not disgrace. A country' where an ancient philosophy had taught even the mass of people to despise war. Zimmerman, once foreign minister to Germany, told me that when he was a consul in China, lie was presented to a powerful mandarin, a fine looking man of soldiery bearing. Zimmerman, wishing to flatter the mandarin, said to the Interpreter: "Tell him what a tine looking man he is. Tell him he looks like a soldier.” The interpreter replied: "That would be nn insult—soldiers are looked down upon.” JAPAN LIKENED TO PRUSSIA BEFORE 1914. Japan, on the other hand, with its fighting aristocracy, the fine sense of personal honor of its people, Its military ambitions, is somewhat like the Prussia of before 1914. To understand the problems of the Far East we must first of all grasp this esse;:* ial difference between China and Japan. • In bodily construction there is not much difference between the individuals of the two peoples but the great Japanese general who committed suicide on the day of the emperor s funeral in order thereby to manifest his admiration for i bis dead emperor, cannot be said to have looked at life from the same viewpoint as an Anglo-Saxon or Chinese. China suffered the penalty of the non- ! prepared and of the pacifist. Her ports were seized, her country divided Into j spheres of influence, iter people forced j by war to poison theselves with opium for the benefit of greedy foreigners. The battle flags of till the powerful nation* ! represented at this conference, including our own, have waved before the gates of her capital and her palaces have been looted by tbo soldiers of civilized Europe. PERRY OPENS H AY FOR .JAPAN'S DEVELOI’MENT. The American admiral, Perry, opened Japan to the world in 1853. Hostility to foreigners culminated in 1862 when an Englishman named Richardson, who had ridden into a Japanese procession, was killed. The British demanded the surrender of the assassin and an indemnity. This, not forthcoming, a British fleet destroyed Japanese ships and Kagoshlmi City It was then that the feudal military rulers of Japan, seeing the Inferiority of their military forces when opposed to those of Europe, commenced that imitation of European and American armies and navies, and mechanical and business life which has made the Japan of today a powerful nation. But under- , ncath, the soul of Japan has remained j much ns before*—Copyright, 1921, by In- | ternatioual News Service. BOOK DRIVE AT TECH WINS BIG Grand Parade Friday Feature of Interesting Campaign. With the time extended until Friday of this week the Technical students expect their yesterday's total of 3,000 books to rea'li the 5,000 mark. The drive has been managed through j the English classes. Every student brings I books to his English class and they are J placed in the lunchroom and every 100 Is ; marked by a flag. As the students come j to lunch they can see the progress made j by that day's drive. Persons outside of j school may give their books to a student, or if the books are sufficient in number they should notify the school and they will le called for. The transportation of the books is tn the hands of the seniors. The contribution of books is placed on a percentage competitive basis, since some classes arc considerably smaller than others. The five leading classes are: Miss Burnside’s English, 70-93 looks—o3B per cent: Miss McLaughlin's English, 3198 books, 450 per cent; Miss Burnside's English, 6-78 books, 390 per cent; Miss Laggeman's English. 6-97 books, 39 books, 304 per cent; Mr. Winger’s English, 4-38 books, 285 per cent. The largest number of books, 123, given by any one class, came from Mr. Park's seventh hour public speaking. On Friday, the last day of the drive, there will be a grand parade on Tech's athletic field before the Tech-Louisville game. Each Os the 150 English classes will have two representatives. Some will he costumed as well-known characters from some book, and their Identity will be left to the spectators. There will be banners announcing the contributions each day, and also various surprise features. MAN FATALLY STRICKEN. John Reiver, 60, of Jasper, suffered a fatal attack of indigestion at Washington and Pennsylvania streets today and died ten minutes later in the United Cigar store located at that corner. Reiver, an employe of the Indianapolis Paint and Color Company, lived at the Spencer House.
