1922 SETS HIGH - MARK FOR CARS USEDJ STATE License Department Lists 401,000 Passenger Automobiles So Far* This Year. 1921 RECORD IS BROKEN Trucks Also Reach New Figure —Tag Money Goes to Highway Department. More than 401,000 passenger automobiles and 55,000 trucks are In use in Indiana today.' according to records of the State automobile licensing department. These figures Bhow an immense gain over the entire year of 1921. The automobile department was created in 1913, but the first records obtainable for an entire year are dated in 1914, when 66,410 passenger cars and trucks were registered. Not until 1920 were the truck and the passenger car licenses separated. Increase Large. In 1921 Indiana boasted 357,000 passenger cars and 43,000 trucks, while the first eight and one-half months of the present year show an increase of 44,000 passenger cars and 12,000 trucks. Reports from many of the automobile plants throughout Indiana indicate capacity production to fill standing orders and dealers and distributors along automobile row concur in the opinion that the winter.business of 1922 will|be the largest “closed season” business in tho annals of the industry. Vast Amount Received JL D. McClelland, superintendent of the automobile division, stated today that up to the present time 32,917,202 had been turned over to the State in funds produced by the sale of li- j censes. The overhead expenses of, the department have amounted to 3.1 j per cent of the total revenue, the i remaining 96.9 being available to the State highway commission for the j construction of highways and bridges j throughout the State.

The State is not only famed for its purchase and use of automobiles, but takes its rank among the manufacturers, only two other States leading in point if production. BOARD VS.

C., says Thedfurd's Black-Draught is kept in her home all the time, since it has proved very valuable when used to correct derangements of the liver, stomach and bowels, and to help prevent sickness from developing from such conditions. ‘For dizziness, headaches, colds, and similar troubles, Black-Draught is a wonder,” according to Mrs. Mabe. "It helps carry away bile and cold the easiest of any medicine I ever saw. ‘I have used Black-Draught with my whole family, and will continue to do so, as it has proven its worth.

Prevention of illness is better than cure. ,Take Black-Draught, for your liver. Be sure you get Thedford’s. Most druggists sell- Black-Draught. Cet a package, today—Thedford’s r—Adrertlsement.
Vacuum Tube Amplifier Enables Physiciaq to Detect Heart Beats
MAJ. GEN. GEORGE O. SQUIRER AND THE HEART-BEAT AMPLIFIER
By XEA Service WASHINGTON, Sept. 19—The modern physician need no longer put his ear against the body of his patient to hear the heart or lungs perform. Nor need he use his stethoscope for this purpose. Instead, he may place a small instrument on the patient's body and listen to the breathing and heartbeats from a distance! This unusual performance is made possible by the use of the audion or vacuum tube amplifier, similar to the one being used in radio reception today. Pulsations Audible The heart of the new instrument that makes heart-throbs audible from a distance is the vacuum tube. It is exactly the same tube which amplifies the weak sound waves in a radio receiving set. Among the first to demonstrate this instrument, in its application to breathing and heart-beats, was MaJ.

Gen. George O. Squirer of the United States Signal Corps. It is only one of the msfriy uses to which General Squirer has put the : - adio -vacuum tube. With General Squirer’s apparatus to start, experts of the Bureau of Standards went to work and perfected a process for recording breathing sounds and heart-beats. Results Improved The instrument is much more complex than the original, but through it better results have been obtained. The new appartus consists mainly of an ordinary telephone transmitter, adapted into a stethoscope, and a vacuum tube amplifier. The sounds are recorded on a steel wire and when the amplifier is connected the sounds can be heard in all parts of a room. If need be, the Instrument can be connected to a telephone line *so that a physician In his office can listen to the heart throbs of a patient In his home.
