CITIZEN SUGGESTS BUS LOOP SYSTEM TO AUGMENT CARS Cross-Town Service and More Frequent Trips Claimed as Results, Operation of a system of bus loops to augment street car service has been suggested by John F. Concannon, 854 College Ave., to the citizens car service committee. Concannon believes the car company could economically operate four or five such lines. One would loop in the downtown district, perhaps on Illinois, Jackson PI., Meridian St., Maryland St.. Pennsylvania St. and Ohio St. He would have another run roughly around East, North, West and South Sts. Others would operate at intervals of a half-mile or mile on to the city limits. This would provide cross-town service. Since the busses would take many passengers from cars before the cars got into the downtown district, it would be possible to turn some of the cars at outlying points and send them back to the end of the line, providing more frequent service. Concannon says. For instance, some Prospect, Shelby and Minnesota cars might be turned around at Fountain Square. Concanon’s plan provides that car transfers would be good on busses. Young Republicans Meet April 24 All Republican candidates will be invited to speak at a meeting of the Toung Republican Club April 24. Plans for the meeting have not been •ompleted, but It is expected it will ve held at the Marion Club.

OF ALL you can buy for the price of a pot of coffee or the washing of four or five collars, the biggest value is a gallon of gasoline made by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This gallon of gasoline, obtainable everywhere, gives you power for your automobile. It saves you inconvenience lost time —and often from ill health. It carries you from 8 to 22 miles, depending upon the road and your engine. It meets, swiftly, an emergency call in time of need. It gives you tangible, fundamental satisfaction, all for the expenditure of a few cents. Automobilists, absorbed with their own affairs, sometimes fail to realize that gasoline is cheap; that the costs of finding, refining and distributing crude oil are enormous. Authorities agree that the prospector and wild - catter on “probable” acreage has 1 chance in 400 while the company with a thoroughly organized geological department has but 1 chance in 20 of finding oil Leases on proved ground cost as much as SIO,OOO an acre. The average cost of drilling, today, *is more than $25,000 a well. Millions must be invested in pipe lines and tank cars to transport the crude oil. Add to this the cost of refineries the investment in steel storage tanks to insure a dependable supply of raw materials and finished products regardless of season the intricate machinery of transportation and delivery gasoline service stations at convenient spots in the city and along the highway, and you will appreciate that the price of gasoline is low. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in its effort to render a vital service has been a determining factor in bringing you a gallon of gasoline at an exceedingly low priceOnly extreme efficiency in management and thorough knowledge of the oil business, hacked by adequate capital, can bridge the gap between the oil well, a thousand miles away and the gas tank on your car. * * These the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has supplied, placing an essential commodity at your instant command for a price which, compared to that of other commodities, is negligible when you consider the high value of the service rendered by gasoline.

STREET WANING FIGHT TO CONTINUE New York St, Residents May Carry Case to Courts, Property owners for and against the widening of E. New York St. were to continue their fight today before the board of works. Opposition was voiced at a meeting in Liederkranz Hall. 1417 E. Washington St., Tuesday night. Mrs. Margaret McGee, Tacoma and New York Sts., was selected to speak for the remonstrators. If the widening is ordered, a fight in court will be started, it was said. Irvington residents have been urg ing the improvement to relieve congestion on Washington St. and give the east side another outlet to the downtown district. New York St. residents have characterized the widening of the street as an “Irvington speedway” and an unfair assessment against their property. Today’s Best m Radio Features WOR, Newark.

llßSSillll \|f Tj How to Check Up Condition of tiie Battery

If you have your battery supplied with distilled water at regular intervals, and have it fixed in its compartment so its cannot jolt about or vibrate, the probability is that all the attention it will require is to see that the top of the battery case is clean and the terminal connections are not corroded. Keep the top of the battery clean at all times, for if dirt, acid or moisture are allowed to collect, it will, in addition to corroding the terminals, cause a slight leakage of current which will gradually run down the battery. TEST BATTERY RE&JIARLY WITH HYDROMETER DfV\ m*r mmutm ctmms *cm rJV \ l/St-Ml/ts Q 1 // am/rur*- yr |f> \// Mc,mu ' z - >Bl V P <r unmet L navmn out** :rvmf'<Kg* •ttrm t*nt "jSty H ’Jt* unm -L- j JulUl 1 J /mrr /•pfeso aod i| yr 'jonuvy !l$X fy' Remove and scrape the terminals bright and clean, then rub a little vaseline over them to stop corrod Ing. If the terminals become cor roded, they make a high resistance joint which prevents the battery from delivering its full amperage to the starter or lights. If you find the battery is fully ' barged, yet the starter operates very' sluggishly, examine the connection and contacts on the starting motor switch. Ts they are badly burned or dirty, clean them with a piece of sandpaper. If, however, you have been in the habit of Inspecting the level of the electrolyte in the battery only when you found the starter would not operate properly, or when you notice* that the lights become dim. then it is quite possible that the battery Is badly sulphated and you wIU have to secure the services of a competent battery repair man to put It In good condition. Most batteries, with proper care, will give perfect service for rrom two to three years. If you have trouble with your battery in less than this time, then It Is probably caused by neglect to give it proper attention. In this article I will tell you just what attention it requires to keep it in good order. Why should you be so particular about inspecting *.ne level of the electrolyte In the battery every two weeks? Here Is the reason. Before a battery can be charged, the plates Inside must be covered with electrolyte. If only part of the plates are covered, then the part that Is out of the electrolyte will not receive a charge of current.

You can readily see therefore, how important is is that you supply the battery with distilled water REGULARLY. Before you add water to the cells they should be tested with the hydrometer to see that the battery is fully charged. To do this, remove vent caps, insert the rubber tube in a cell, then squeeze the bulb and release It slowly, allowing enough electrolyte to be drawn into the hydrometer to float the graduated stem. If the battery Is fully charged, the float will rise to between the 1,300 and the 1,280 marks In each cell. If It reads as low as 1,250 do not use the electric starter or the lights until you have given the battery a chance to recover itself. If the reading Is 1,225 or less, take it to a battery station at once and have it charged up. for if it is lift in a partly discharged condition for very long, the plates will sulphate rapidly and the life of the battery consequently reduced. The battery should be examined every two weeks, and enough PURE DISTILLED WATER added to each cell to bring the level of the electrolyte up to one-fourth Inch above the top of the plates. Do not on any account use ctly water or water that has been kept in a metal container. Avery important point is to see that the battery is firmly fixed in its compartment. If it is Jolted about, the lead composition in the plates becomes loose and causes serious trouble. If you make sure that the battery is firmly wedged in place, kept clean and free from spilt acid, and enough distilled water always kept In the cells to cover the plates, you will find that battery trouble will never worry you.

They All Praise Buick Ask any garageman, any mechanic, in fact, any person who knows motor cars, what he thinks about Buick. Invariably he will tell you that Buick is a thoroughly good, high grade and dependable automobile and that a person makes a genuinely satisfactory investment when he buys one. Then ask the Buick owners you know what they think about Buick. Do these things and you will quickly understand why Buick has sold over one million motor cars and why you, too, should own a Buick.
