kuckee, where he spent about two weeks. Six weeks ago. he was brought back to the hospital. Although his condition was critical for a time, evidently he was on the road to recovery last week. Plans were made for him to return home this week. Friday he suffered a relapse. Sunday the final decline began. Members of his family were with him when death came. / Born in Richmond, Ind. Mr. Perry was born in Richmond, Ind.. Dec. 15. 1857. He was educated in the Richmond public schools and Earlhatn College. He came to Indianapolis in 1886 and two years later was one of the organizers of the Harmon-Perry Light Company. This company developed into the old Indianapolis Light and Power Company. In 1905 the name was changed to the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company. Last year he built a fine summer home at Lake Maxinkuckee, an' following his illness this spring was taken there at his own request in the hope that the change would re suit in his recovery. However, he failed to regain his strength. He survived by the widow, one daughter, Mrs. 'William Griffith of Chicago, and two sons, Norman A. and James A. Perry, both of Indianapolis. He was a member of many social, fraternal and business organization.and was regarded as one of the bestinformed men on public utilities in Indiana. His rise- in the business world was by his own effort. The American Magazine recently published an article paying tribute to his struggle. Restaurant Robbesj Mrs. Emma Gordon, proprietor of a restaurant at 454 S. Meridian St., reported her place entered and cigars. cigarettes and candy stolen. MOTION PICTURES

How to Test Condition of the Running Gear Last week I described how to examine and test the electrical equipment and the motor to determine their condition. The motor is the heart of the car and if it is not in good order the probability is that most of the other units of the car are in poor condition also. If the reader is not a fairly experienced mechanic, I would strongly advise leaving such a car severely alone. If, however, the motor and electrical equipment are in good condition, then go ahead and examine the condition of the other parts of the car. Examine around the grease cups on the various parts of the car. If it has been properly cared for you will notice that the small amount of grease that has collected around the grease cup looks fresh and in addition there will be a small quantity' of soft grease oozing from the sides of the bushings. If. however, there is a deposit of dry hard grease and the grease cups look as if they have not been touched for sotne time, it shows that the greasing of the car has been neglected and a close examination should be made to find out how badly' all bushings and pin* are worn.

TEST STEERING GEAR CONNECTIONS BY FIRST PUSHING WHEELS APART THEN PULLING THEM TOGETHER, NOTING AMOUNT OF PLAY OR SHAKE AT _ CONNECTIONS.

jacked up, squat in front of the car and grasp the front wheels, first pushing outward then pulling inward. This test will enable you to see if there is any play' in the steering connections. If they are in good condition, no play will be noticed. If these connections are worn badly they rattle on the road. While you are at the front of the car. notice If there are any' leaks in the radiator. Remember vibration soon makes small leaks larger and radiator repairs are. expensive.

pensive job to replace universal joints or rear axle bearings. The spring should be examined carefully to see that there are no broken leaves or worn shackle bolts or bushings. It is very difficult for an inexperienced man to determine if a shackle bolt is worn unless you re move and examine it. If the grease cups on the shackle bolts look dry and the grease that collects about the sides of the shackle is hard, you should certainly remove one of the shackle bolts so that you can see exactly what condition these parts are in. Brakes should be tested to see that they operate efficiently and smoothly. If they are in good condition, they will stop the car In about thirty-five feet from a speed of twenty, miles an hour. If they squeak or squeal bad ly when applied, they are worn or In need of adjustment. The condition of the tires should be noted. If trte treads are worn you should figure up what anew set of tires will cost and add that to the tig ure being asked for the car. In conclusion, beware of the “gyp.” He uses a number of different tricks to conceal the real condition of a used car. He will pep up a nearly dead battery with a strong solution of acid. If the transmission or rear axle gears are worn badly he will mix powdered cork with the nil and silence the noise for a time. The car will be demonstrated on soft tires to silence rattles. He will keep the spark lever retarded as far as possible to silence knocks In the motor. There is only one sure way to buy a used car and that is to deal with a reputable and responsible dealer who has been established In ifflslness for some years and who has put the car in good condition and will guarantee It. You can buy a used car in this way with every confidence that it, will give you good service and be free from defects. (Copyright, 1924. by the S. N. L. Technical Syndicate.)

First jack up the front wheels and test them for wear in the bushings. To do this, grasp flie wheel at the top with one hand and at the bottom with the other then alternately push in at the top and pull out at the bottom. If the wheel bearings are in good order you will notice just a small amount of shake and when the wheel is rotated it will come to a stop with the tire valve at the bottom. If there is a very noticeable amount of shake, the bearings in the wheel may be worn or in need of adjustment or the king pin or bushings in the axle yoke may be worn. While both front wheels are

Next jack up one of the re*r wheels and test for play in the bearings by grasping the wheel at each side and shaking it. Now test for backlash in the rear axle and transmission by putting the gear shift lever in high gear and rocking or rotating the wheel first in one direction then in the other. It is usually possible to take up an excessive amount of backlash by adjusting the ring gear in the rear axle. Sometimes, however, the backlash Is caused by worn universal joints or worn bearings in the rear axle. >:<• fore you buy the car, have It understood that the excessive backlash must be removed for it is a very ex-

SOUTH SIDE CIVIC LEADERS WANT SUBWAY CHANGED Board Petitioned to Altei Plans to Include Cruse St. John White and Edward .1. Sexton of the Southeastern Civic Improvement Club appeared before the board of public works today asking for construction of a subway at Cruse St. instead of Shelby St., as proposed in the program foV elevation of Pennsylvania railroad tracks between Noble to State Sts. The club approved the proposal subject to agreement of the board to open Arsenal Ave. and Oriental and Pine Sts. under the elevation at a meeting Tuesday night. A diagonal street from Cruse and Maryland to Georgia and Shelby Sts., providing an outlet for the latter thoroughfare, was urged. Opening of Pine St. and Arsenal Ave. under the elevation and that Oriental St. be left open is favored. Railrqad officials have remonstrated against opening of Shelby St. be tween Maryland and Washington Sts., which the board is considering. The Cruse St. subway would be seventy-five feet long. costing $125.000, while Shelby St. subway, 350 feet long, would cost 5b25,000, according to the remonstrance. Resolutions were adopted urging the resurfacing of State St. between Washington and Prospect Sts., following reading of a letter from John C. Lingenfelter, city engineer, stating that it would not be done. Promise that it would done this year had been obtained front j the Hoard. A committee presented the case this afternoon.

Pretty Little Bine-Eyed Sally Is Latest Member of the Jazz Family

By WALTER D. HICKMAN p—") NEW miss of Jazzland has I arrived. ll_J Russel Robinson, an Indianapolis song writer and pianist, and A1 Bernard have named her “Blue-Eyed Sally.” You may meet Sally, blue eyes anil all, on anew Brunswick record. On one side Is the Sally number and the other contains “Never Gettin’ No Place Blues,” another RobinsonBernard number. Both numbers are played by the Dixie stars. The Sally number is made enjoyable by vocal duet with orchestra while the other number introduces tenor and piano. * “Sally” and her companion piece belongs to the ever growing and popular jazz family. Sally is the latest daughter of Mister and Mrs. Jazz-Mejody. And she isVome daughter. 1 am not speaking well of this number because a local man helped create it, but because it has that popular touch which the public loves these days. And Sajly is a clever girl. Her daddy is wild over her, so much so that he has saved up his money for a rainy day, so that he can spend all of his time with Sally after they get married. The lyric is clever and the melody has a sort of a or money ring to it. It is tuneful. Rather this number will be another' gold mine for Robinson. Some years ago. when Robinson was pianist for Mfldred Harris at Keith's here, I was invited to hear Robinson play at a little private gathering. If I remember correctly, Robnson actually struck up three numbers and developed them to a degree during the party. More Jazz When Russel Robinson sits down to a piano in a creative mood you can be assured that anew melody is going to be produced. He has that successful thing—creatitve melody along popular lines. Jack Linx and his Society Serenad-

Somnes Busy Rehearsals began Monday night at - the Little Theatre Workshop for ‘‘The Torchbearers,” by George Kelly. It will be given for the members of The Little Theatre Society and the public, Oct. 15, at the Masonic Temple and for the Teachers' Association, Oct. 16 and 17. George Somnes will direct the production. "The Torchbearers” is a clever and goodnatured satire on certain foolish phases of amateur theatricals and is written in a scintillating aqd sparkling manner.

ers have turned out anew jazz record for 01>eh. Two popular numbers have been chosen. They are “It Ain’t Gonna Rain No Mo' ” and "Doodle Doo.” The "Rain’ number made a hit last season in the blackface revue of Eddie Leonard. The way this act. developed this song was enough to make it popular. Linx and his orchestra have jazzed “Rain” up into what one expects of a modern dance orchestra. The “Doodle Doo” number is really dangerous jazz. This number wotild make you dance even if you had a wooden leg. It is jazz of the day. •If you can forget jazz for a second think of the late Victor Herbert and the tantalizing melodies of class that he created. Shortly after his death David Mendoza, director of the Capitol Theater Orchestra of New York, collected some of his best melodies and played them as tribute numbers in memory of the great composer. Am speaking of “Fnamericana,” and "Badinage.” These two numbers have been released by Brunswick. played by the Capitol Theater Orchestra with Mendoza conducting. Here is a real record of sweet, quiet

and tuneful numbers. Better get this one. Requested List Several days ago I was requested to print a list of twelve records of old fashioned tunes. Asa reader of this department made the request, I print a list of twelve Brunswick releases which will probably fill the bill. The Brunswick old melody list is as follows: ‘‘Medley of Old Fashioned Waltzes,” played by Carl Fenton’s ®*KChestra; "Medley of Irish Waltzes,” played by the Fenton orchestra; ‘‘Auld Lang Syne.” male quartet; “Old Black Joe,” quartet; “Prince of Pilsen,” light opera;; “Darling Nellie Gray,” trio; “Some Blessed Day,” quartet; “Ain’t You Coming Out Malinda?,” vocal; "Darling Nellie Gray,” vocal; “Listen to the Mocking Bird,” vocal “Rock of Ages, vocal, and “Medley of Southern Melodies,” Fenton's orchestra. •I- -I- -IIndianapolis theaters today are presenting “Applesauce,” at the Murat; Alla Axiom at the Lyric; Polly Moran at the Palace; “Red Pepper Revue” at the Capitol; “Tha Sea Hawk" at the Circle; “The Lost Battalion” at the Lincoln Square; “Toss of the D'Urbervilles” at the Apollo; “The Enemy Sex"’ at the Ohio; “Monsieur Beaucaire” at Mister Smith's and “Fast Company” at the Isis. ROTARIANS RETURN HOME Presidents and secretaries of Indiana Rotary Clubs, comprising the Twentieth Rotary district, were back home today, following a two-day executives’ conference at the Ciaypool. The meeting closed Tuesday afternoon. Robert E. Ileun of Richmond, Ind., district governor, urged Rotarians to vote in the November election.
