KLAN CHIEF WILL TAKE NO PART IN DEMOCRAT MEET Bossert Faction, However, May Back Certain Candidates. Declaring that he could not “be honest” in his support of Ed Jackson, Republican nominee for Governor and go into the Democratic convention with a slate of officers, D. G. Stephenson, one of the grand dragons of the Ku-Klux-Klan in Indiana, declared today he had decided to take absolutely no part in the Democratic convention next week. “We at first thought we would attempt to name a slate,” Stephenson 6aid, “but I have decided I would look ridiculous in taking a part after having played so important a role in the Republican convention.” According to indications today, however, Walter C. Bossert, who is supposed to be touring the West in behalf of Senator James E. Watson’s candidacy for Vice President, is still in the city and will attempt to line up Klan delegates on candidates upon whom he has placed the stamp of approval. Will Be Democrat* First It is not thought Democratic Klan delegates can be voted as a unit as was the case in the Republican convention. There is no outstanding leadership to which Klan chiefs can | tie to, such as the Watson-Btephen-eon combinations, and it is believed by Democratic leaders the Klan Democrats will be Democrats first. C. J. Orbison, who was to have led the Klan cohorts on the floor of the| convention, left last night forj

Ted Lewis Makes Another Contribution to Tunes That Tickle Dancin ’ Feet

By WALTER D. HICKMAN ' Have you the at-home dancing bee? Then let Ted Lewis and his new j Columoia record be the bee which will start your dancin' feet a prancing. I know Ted Lewis persorihlly and I know that he takes as much pride in turning out real records as he does in creating melody waves on the stage. Lewis’ latest hoofin’ record includes two fox-trots —“Dream Daddy” and “Mr. Radio Man." You can easily SHRINERSJVEST BOUND Nearly 300 Shriners with their wives will leave Saturday noon on a special train for Kansas City via Chicago for the Imperial Conclave next week. At Chicago, local Shriners will be guests of Medina Temple at dinner Saturday evening. O. L. Wade, chairman of transportation committee, announced the 1 Murat drum corps, the Chanters, the patrol and the band would ac- j company the delegation. The Murat \ Shriners will be quartered at the Frederick, the city’s newest hotel. Kansas City and will not be in at- i tendance at the convention. “We’ll let the Democrats run their own show and then throw our whole I effort into electing Ed Jackson in thej fall,” Stephenson said. Delegates Flared at 360 Stephenson declared reports of 700 : Democratic Klan delegates must ; have come from the Bossert faction, i “who are as usual riding to a fall.” j Stephenson estimated the number of Klan Democratic delegates at ap- i proximately 360. According to information, steps! are being taken to change the name j of the Indiana Klan as divorced from j the national body, so that the State ! organization will be absolutely separated in name as well as in principle', j

tell when Lewis' gets busy personally in these records. These two numbers are not the noisy jazz type, but rather the semicroonir.g and groaning type of foxtrotting. My feet have not been educated for the dance, but somehow

In order that the general public may visualize gasoline prices in true perspective, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is endeavoring, in its advertising, to draw just comparisons with other staple and essential products. At today’s prices, if gasoline were sold by the pound, the Erice at service stations would e about 3’/2C per pound. Compare this with sugar at 10c a pound; bread or milk at 8c per pound; butter at 45c and cheese at 60c per pound, and it is apparent at once that gasoline prices are low —especially so when the service rendered by gasoline is considered. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) states, that with few exceptions, no other manufactured necessity is sold at as low a price as gasoline. This low price is maintained despite the hazards attending the production of gasoline, and the vast amount of capital required to provide distribution facilities adequate to supply you with gasoline, when and where you want it The Standard Oil Company (Indiana), through intensified organization and unceasing initiative, has been a potent factor in the maintenance of low gasoline prices. This Company endeavors to symbolize that American spirit of dynamic leadership, which combines business initiative with scientific skill for service to the thirty million people of the Middle West. This comprehensive service enables the man in modest circumstances to operate his automobile at a fuel cost which he easily can afford.

or other these two pieces make me wish that I knew how to make my “dogs” behave properly on a dance floor. Am sure that this new Columbia record of Lewis’ will increase danc ing to the phonograph at home. It's nice to hoof at home to phonograph music before you go to a show. Rathe.- think you will enjoy “Mr. Radio Man" and “Dream Daddy” when you play it at home. A Gypsy Song Those who are fond of Russian music will find much pleasure in a new Brunswick record by Isa Kremer. This sort of music appeals to those who take their melody with more or less seriousness. Am speaking of “Swesda,” a Gypsy song in Russian, and, “Cherle,” Russian ballads, as vocalized by Isa Kremer, soprano. There is a sort of a wijd, haunting beauty in each number. A valuable addition to any library of merit. Am informed py the Victor people that their late May releases include new dance music by Coon-Sanders Original Night Hawk Orchestra. The numbers announced include “Night Hawk Blues” and “Red Hot Mamma,” both fox trots. This is the first Victor record by this Kansas City organization. The new June Columbia records include two numbers played by Pablo Casals, violincello player. On one side of the record is Handel’s “Largo" and on the other a selection by Haydn, Op. 101. -I- -I- -I- * Theatrical attractions on view today Include: “Robin Hood.” at Keith's; “Cat and Canary,” at English’s; “Icebound,” at the Murat; Belle Oliver, at the Lyric; Spencer and Williams, at the Palace; “Rac- j ing Luck," at the Circle; “Sporting Youth," at the Apollo; “Men," at the Ohio; "The Vagabond Trail.” at the Isis, and “Three Weeks,” at Mister Smith's.

Condition of Brakes Should Be Checked Up Now.

Although the steering gear and brakes are two of the most important units on the whole car, it is a fact that few owners give them the twenty or thirty minutes attention they should receive about every 600 miles. Brake adjustments are so easy to make that there is no excuse for any driver who has an accident because his brakes refused to act at the critical moment. After thoroughly cleaning and lubricating all connections, get into the driving seat and push the service brake pedal In and out to make sure that it comes hack promptly when you take your foot off the brake pedal. Do the same thing with the emergency or hand brake lever. If there is any sign of stiffness or sluggishness in the action of the brakes, some shaft or connection is binding, and you will have to go over all of them carefully to find out which one it is. In the case of brakes that have shafts going through a tube at any point, you will often find that on account of lack of lubrication, water and grit has worked into the tube, rusting up the shaft, so causing it to bind and stick. You can try freeing it up by squirting kerosene or penetrating oil into the tube. If this does not free it up then you will have to disconnect the brake rods and pull out the shaft and clean and lubricate it thoroughly.

If all connections work freely, then you can proceed to check up and if necessary adjust the brakes properly. First, jack up both wheels, then remove them If they are of the demountable type. First, adjust the service or external brakes. There should be a space of the thickness of a thick business card between the brake lining and the drum. If there is more than this, loosen the lock nut or take out the cotter pin at adjustment C and turn it in until you can just insert the card freely between the lining and brake drum at this point, then replace the cotter pin or tighten the lock nut. Now adjust the bottom half of the band by loosening the check nut and turning adjustment nut B down until you have the lower half of the brake adjusted. Complete the adjustment of the band by turning down adjusting nut A i ntil top half of the band Is set correctly.

This nut generally locks itself every half turn. If you have made the ad Justments correctly, you will have a maximum clearance between the brake lining and drum of the thickness of the card at all points. The internal or emergency brakes wear very slowly and can generally be adjusted by shortening the brake rods. To adjust, first see that the brake lever is fully released, then replace wheels but keep them jacked up. Remove the pin from the yoke on the brake rod at adjustment G and give it a turn to shorten the rod. Test adjustments by stariing the engine md engaging low gear, letting engine run slowly while you apply the brake a notch at a time. If both wheels stop together the adjustment is O. K. If one of the wheels keeps revolving, then shorten the brake rod on that wheel and try again.

If the linings have worn very much and you cannot take up wear by shortening the brake rods, then remove wheels and brake drums and fully release hand brake. First, remove cotter pin or loosen lock nut on adjusting screw D and turn in just enough to prevent the lining rubbing on the brake drum when the wheel is revolved, then lock in place. Now loosen the adjusting screws E just enough to prevent lining rubbing on the drum, then turn in adjusting screw F to complete adjustment. Be very careful in making brake adjustments not to tighten the brake bands too much or the brakes will drag. Always make certain that svhen the brakes are fully released the wheels turn freely.
