SERVICE UTIL FOR BATTERIES Motorists, as Rule, Fail to Understand Electrical Trouble. That the storage battery is the least understood of all motor car parts is the opinion expressed b C. B. Harris, manager of the USL battery service station, 501 N. Illinois St. “How many autoists actually know what steps to take to correct the trouble when they have battery trouble?" he asked. "If the car driver gets an unpleasant surprise In the shape of a refusal of his starter to function nine chances to one he will rush off to the service station for expert advice and to have the trouble diagnosed and corrected. But just suppose he happens to be miles away from a service station. Then what? “A little practical information concerning the workings of his battery’ would come in mighty handy. He would give a great deal to know as much about the battery as he does about spark plugs, connecting rods, transmission gears or other parts of his machine. “It would pay him to know the probable cause of his trouble Perhaps, for example, the battery is partly discharged, due to insufficient charging. Perhaps one of the cells has gone dead. Possibly the terminals and top connectors are loose or dirty and corroded. Perhaps the generator is not delivering a sufficient charge •>f current to meet the car's requirements. “In any case he should know where to look if trouble develops. If the trouble is due to dirty terminals he could correct it by cleaning and tightening them. Or if it were such as to require skilled repair he could give Ihe matter prompt attention and save further expense by going immediately to a battery station. “Too many automobile owners are satisfied to go on from day to day. unmindful of the important little black box attached to the car. They should know and understand their batteries as well as they do the working of other parts of their ears. By doing so they would effect a big saving in time, money and mental ease. “Many car owners make the big mistake of passing up the service station until something goes radically wrong with the battery. This is a great mistake. The old adage about the stitch in time saving nine certainly holds good for batteries and many an expensive repair or purchase of a whole new battery would be avoided if the car owner would merely take the trouble to pay an occasional visit to his battery service station." BUILDING RECORDS FALL I,umber Demand Continues Heavy, Dealer Says.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

f-ayu Radinsky, “we found things pretty dull. We wanted adventure. So we decided to go hunting for gold. Each of us had some technical knowledge of mining. ' We went into Colombia in a sec tion never trodden by man before. There we discovered this mine which e believe contains a billion dollars worth of gold and silver. The deposit is five miles long and a quarter of a mile wide.”

structlon records are bound to fall this year, he said, for there has been greater activity throughout the country than for years past. Speaking of the situation he said: “Our plant is still running at capacity. Most of our business at the present time is confined to work that we contracted for during the summer months. New operations of late have been slowed somewhat by a shortage of that much-needed building material, cement. Without cement, a foundation is impossible and where a foundation is impossible, a building is out of the question. The farming trade demands Lehigh cement and the factory producing that brand has been closed for some weeks due to a lack of sufficient coal to operate. The same is true of other plants manufacturing popular brands. The coal strike has now been settled, but It will probably be some time before cement ! plants can resume operations since the farmers’ crops take precedence over all other commodities and the railroads are taxed to capacity and especially is this true after such a strike as has just been ended. I would therefore hesitate to make a prediction as to when cement will again move. “Our sales for this year to date exceed considerably those for all of last year in spite of the fact that last year was universally the best year in the building game all over the entire (country. Here and elsewhere this | year bid fair to outdo last year so far | as construction records go. ! "There was enough building started | during the summer to keep the build- ' lng trades busy for some time. The 1 summer, different from usual, did* not disclose a lull in construction work and for that reason there is yet much building to be completed. This includes homes, commercial buildings, public buildings, etc. "Frequently lumber at the mill is sold at an actual loss. This price the public is apt to accept as the normal j price and an advance to a fair price brings a storm of protests and accusations of profiteering. Nothing would jbe of greater advantage to this time honored Industry than to eliminate from the business all sophistry and false impressions. “The following appeared in a late j issue of the American Lumberman: ‘While the railroad situation generally seems to have shown considerable im provement with the last week, lumber | shippers are still wrestling with an acute car shortage, as cars continue to be diverted to the movement of coal, grain and cotton. There is a marked decrease shown in the amount of business placed with Southern pine mills, but this does not necessarily in- i dicate a cessation in demand. Shippers os a rule are declining to take orders where prompt shipment is necessary And there is no assurafice that cars can be secured in which to take these shipments. On the West Coast latest reports show production at about two per cent above normal, but this has not as yet resulted in any undue accumulation of stocks, for | stocks on mill yards there and all over the country are low and assortments are badly broken. “ 'lf cement again moves, and the acute car shortage is removed, the building business will surely go forward during the coining months. The railroad strike is settled. The coal strike was over thirty days ago. in many industries wages have been in creased. Despite rather low prices for

Under the laws of Colombia they were unable to develop their own claims, for they were foreigners. They had to take seme n-tives into their secret.

farm commodities, crops in general have been heavy. Bank deposits are on the increase, and all sources of income show that increased buying power among consumers can be reasonably expected. “ ‘On Aug. 1, 1921, there was a surplus of 125,000 box cars in this country while on the same date last month was a surplus of only 30,000 box cars. \Yith heavy crops to be moved, and the unusual volume of coal and other commodities to be handled, due to the delay in shipping caused by the coal and rail strikes, railroad facilities will be taxed to the limit during the next sixty to ninety days.’ ” PLAN PLANT EXTENSIONS Local Utility Will Improve Entire System. Important improvements throughout its system have been planned by the Merchants' Heat and Light Company of this city. In order to cover the cost of these improvements and those already completed the company has asked the public service commission of Indiana for authority to issue common stock to the amount of SIIB,OOO and bonds amounting to $350,500. The ! securites are to be sold so that the company will realize not less than I 90 per cent of their face value. It is planned to make improvements amounting to $425,004.96 before June 30. 1923. the petition states, while $30,354.46 will go to pay for improvements made between July and Heptemper of this yea-. Officials of the company said that additions to the already extensive distribution system will cost $91,333 23. Other contemplated expenditures are $85,000 for new turbines. $70,000 for new transmission lines and sums ranging from SIO,OOO to $31,000 tor new equipment for increasing voltage anil ether sums for various purposes, all looking to an enlargement of the i plant. Equipment, stores and other] expenditures for the period vary from SI,OOO to $3,000. SONG COMES TRUE Singer Receives News of Son's Birth While Singing “Son o’ Mine.” flu United Pntn LONDON.

BERKELEY, Cal., Oct. 2.—A mis-j chievotis monkey was the cause not j only of confusion on the part of a fjdr student, but also of curiosity, approaching consternation among the dense crowd that quickly*gathered in the vicinity of a coeducational institution here. The simian swung himself Into the coed's room, as she was unpacking her trunks, and seizing an array of varied and delicate lingerie, returned to the roof of the sorority house, waving them aloft. Heads In plenty shot from the windows of other dormitories in response (c her screams, while the police had to take a hand, cordon the neighborhood and disperse the crowds. Eventually, the monker was captured and claimed by his Italian owner, whose habitat is at the other end of the city.

FUEL TROUBLES SOLVED BT OIL New Device Boon in the Home, Dealer Says. Oil burning devices for home use have been developed to a point where ' thy are entirly reliable and thoroughly successful, according to Rusself C. if well. Indiana distributor for Tyrrell burn<* \s, 2062 Broadway. “Oil burners have been on the market for fifteen years, but the early attempts were crude and unreliable. Ilowver modern burners have developed to a point where early imperfections have bepn eliminated,” he said. “In the past a great part of the ’ ] trouble has 4>een due to the fact that ] the burners were marketed by good ; salesmen and not by engineers who | thoroughly understood the problems j to be met. j “This accounted for many com- ! plaints against oil burners in the early stages. However this all has | been corrected in the Tyrrell burner, j Among a few of its particularly i effective features are the following: “It is. I believe the only gravity 1 urner perfectly adapted to thermostat control. It is adapted to hot air furnaces, hot water, steam and vapor vacuum systems. It may be lighted and generated in one minute, a re- . markably short time. It burns quiet,iy and makes very little noise. It is | economical in the use of oil because ::s pre heats the air and has two vaporizing rings, an excellent feature j which is a wonderful aid to com- : bustion It is easy to operate and re- ; quires very little attention. It i throws off no smoke, no dirt and the home is as clean from basement to | i ttic as in the old natural gas days. It is perfestly safe in operation. Three | years of constant use have proved the Tyrrell burner to be satisfactory, economical and practical. “The really modern home certainly cannot afford to have a dirty, wasteful, hack breaking heating plant |of the old type. The necessity of constant coal shovelling and ash removing must be done away with. “Many persons fully realizing the splendid features of oil heating plants, still labor under the delusion that they are a luxury and too exptnsive for average use. Nothing i could be further from the truth. I Under normal conditions fuel expense Is slightly less than for coal in properly designed plants. If the removal of ashes, time and labor Involved in handled ashes and coal nre figured, oil Is really much cheaper ! than coal as a fuel.” ‘SMILE WEEK’ LATEST Washington Governor Issues Rules for New Stunt. OLYMPIA. Wash., Oct. 2.—Governor Louis F. Hart has issued a proclamation calling upon the people to observe the week beginning Oct. 1 as “smile week.” His statement said: “Let every one forget trouble. "Greet each one with a smile; say some cheerful word. “Do a kindly net; disseminate joy; ; visit the shut-ins. “I wish the newspapers, the theaters and the movies would eliminate the murderers and all depressing and sorrow-breeding items, act and pictures. “Take the ‘funnies,’ both papers and pictures to the hospital, the sail itarium and all places where the unfortunate are confined, that all may forget troubles and enjoy hearty laughs."
