Rucker and Mercators Officiate. The straw “dip” will not appear on the streets of Indianapolis again without an ominous hush falling among passersby! The straw hat is taboo! Should it appear again it is only a spectre—a ghost, a nemesis. From now until the summer of 1925 gives its warm welcome gain, the 6traws must remain discarded. The Mercator Club observed the last sad rites of the summer headgear in a solemn funeral ceremony in front of the Spink-Arms Tuesday. A typical, healthy' specimen of straw “chapeau" was cremated. Mayor Lew Shank and Alvah J. Rucker spoke from the seat of a hearse, which bore the hat. Following the funeral Taylor Groninger spoke on "Problems of Public Utilities.” Timothy Nicholson Buried By Timet Special RICHMOXD, Ind., Sept. 17.—Sin - pie funeral services were held here today for Timothy Xicholson, 95, a leader of the Quaker Church in Indiana. He died Monday after a brief illness. There are almost 1,000 miles of canals in Holland.

Tips on how to bay J?*** a Used Car ByEHScoO low to Test Condition of Engine and Electrical Equipment To determine the condition of a used car, you must make a systematic examination of it. First test out the electrical equipment. Switch on the lights and see that all lamps light. Note the condition of the reflectors and see that no lenses are broken. With the ignition OFF, press in starting motor switch and keep it pressed in for ten or fifteen seconds. If the starting motor and battery are in good order the engine will be turned over briskly all the time the starter switch is pressed in. If it only turns over very slowly, the battery may be worn out or the starting motor may be in poor condition. Now start the engine and observe the ammeter to note if the generator is charging the battery properly. The needle should swing over the “charge” when the engine is running and go back to “O” when It is stopped. The next thing to do is-to give the car a low' speed and a high speed test to determine the condition of the engine. Drive to some quiet street and ask the owner to leave engine in high gear, then throttle it down and let the car run as slowly as possible. Tell him at the same time to KEEP HIS FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH AND BRAKE PEDALS as it is a very simple matter to make any' car crawl along at tw'o miles an hour if you slip the clutch. If the engine is in good condition and properly tuned up, it will run along quite smoothly and regularly at from four to six miles an hour or about a brisk walking pace. If the engine throttles down and pulls on high gear at a walking pace, it is fairly good evidence that it is in good condition. If, however, it WILL NOT throttle down, it may be that the carburetor is not adjusted correctly or a spark plug is misfiring. Usually, however, when a man is trying to sell you a used car he has it tuned up as well as possible so that when it refuses to pull slowly, the probability is that the engine is in poor condition and has no compression.

It is quite easy to test the compression and get a very good idea of the condition of the engine. First make certain that the ignition swicth is OFF, then insert the hand crank and note the amount of resistance there is when you pull up on the handle of the hand crank. If the compression is good there will be considerable resistance felt. Pull up firmly for nearly a quarter of a turn, then let the handle spring back. See-saw the handle up and down four or five times “feeling” the compression, then pull it up a full quarter turn and get another cylinder on compression and test in the same way. The resistance you

feel should be quite strong and the same on every cylinder. If the compression is good on some cylinders but weak on others, it is possible that the cylinder walls are scored, piston rings worn or the \-alves are leaking. If the cylinder walls are scored or the piston rings worn, you will notice a lot of blue smoke comes out of the exhaust, especially when the engine is speeded up. Asa further test remove the spark

plugs and examine the porcelains. If th£y are dry and a clean reddish brown color, the cylinder walls and piston rings are in good condition. If. however, they are covered with a soft, black, oily deposit, the probability is that the cylinder walls are worn or scored or the piston rings are worn. Os course if the owner has been keeping the level of the oil in his crankcase too high it will foul up the spark plugs, but when you find the compression in a cylinder very weak and the spark plug fouled up. you can depend on it that the cylinder is in poor condition. Before you start to test the compression as shown above, the engine

necting rod bearings. If the bearings are worn you will hear a'distinct rap or knock every time you push down on the handle. If you hear what sounds like loose bearings, it is a good idea to leave that car alone and let someone else have the grief. If the slow speed and compression tests are satisfactory, test the engine for acceleration. To do this leave the car in high gear and throttle down to six or seven miles an hour then suddenly open up the throttle and speed up the engine. It should accelerate instantly without the slightest hesitation and reach a speed of twenty or more miles an hour within a few seconds. There should be no noise from the engine except a gentle purr. If it knocks or clanks badly during this test, it shows there are loose bearings or pistons. The above tests will give you a very good idea of the (jondition of the engine. Next week I will show you how to make an examination of the steering gear, brakes, wheels, springs, etc. (Copyright, 1924, by the S. N. L. Technical Syndicate.)

MEETS Mrs. Vivian T. Wheat craft Opens Madison County Campaign. By Timet Special ANDERSON. Ind., Sept. 17—Mrs \ v lvian T. Wheatcraft. Republican State vice chairman, and Congressman Albert J. Vestal of the Eighth i

district opened the campaign in Madison County Tuesday night with a meeting at the Courthouse. Mrs. Wheatcraft reviewed the accomplishments of the Republican party and declared the principles of Lincoln were still in effect. She cited the progress of the country under G. O. P. rule and declared it would be useless to change the party in power. Vestal, in his first home speech, flayed those who would tamper with the constitution, saying such policies are the forerunners of sovietism.

Coke Holds Fire If you think that coke does not hold fire a long time or is not as dependable as we say it is, ask any one of the thousands of users of INDIANAPOLIS Car- product OKE ‘The Ideal Fuel" They all know that it is a long-burning, reliable fuel. Mr. Lawrence M. Peterson of 3538 Salem street, in a letter to us, says: “The furnace requires attention less frequently than when using coal—twice a day on an average — at times it will go thirty to thirtysix hours.” A deep, heavy, fire bed of coke, under proper control is the most economical fire in all kinds of weather. Therefore, fill the firepot to the full capacity and then control the air, for that In turn controls the amount of heat delivered and coke consumed. Buy Indianapolis By-Product Coke and buy it now when prices are lowest. Phone Your Dealer Citizens Gas Company
