LAKE WAWASEE IS BEAUTY SITE Wealth of Fish Sport in Its Clear Waters. The Tavern provides the environment of a comfortable home amid a cool summer climate In the deep woods on the shore of Lake Wawasee, largest of Indiana’s many lakes, and long known to fishermen and campers as a spot of unusual sporting advantages and rare natural beauty. Lake Wawasee, with the splendid contour of its wood shore line, its waters clear as crystal, its wealth of fish, its unlimited scope for all kinds of boating, the cool breezes that sweep in from its waters, and the wonderful cloud and sunset effects that hover over it, is a constant delight. In front of the Tavern it has been especially kind to man by providing a sandy beach receding so gradually that even babies may bathe with safety and the staunchest swimmer easily finds Ills favorite depth. The Tavern, with its accompanying cottages, stands on a great wooded knoll rising from the water’s edge and liberally equipped with inviting seats.

Auto Fuel Bought at Bakeshops in Long Run

Bu NBA Service PARIS, June 9.—Thirty automobiles on a three weeks' tour through France, recently, demonstrated the usefulness of fuels other than gasoline in automotive touring. Most remarkable in this demonstration was the run made by fourteen of these thirty vehicles on what is called * gazogene,” a fuel manufactured on the spot by the motor car itself. This is generated from charcoal, wood or other similar substances. All of these vehicles carried heavy loads over the entie trip. One, weighing eleven tons, travel'll 150 miles in one day, and another, weighing eight tons, reached a speed of thirty-five miles an hour. In one case, a small touring car, running on granulated peat charcoal, exhausted its original supply along the way. For the rest of the journey the driver stopped at bakers’ shops along the way, bought

wood charcoal and traveled on this! Each gazogene vehicle is equipped with a generator, which is a short furnace. A slow fire bums the necessary fuel and produces a gas which is fed into the engine through a carburetor. Os the fourteen gazogene vehicles, eight used “carbonite,” a special compressed charcoal made up into egg-sized balls, and having the advantage of cleanliness, ease of handling and greater density and purity. Sign Cuts Death Toll A story is told of a blind turn in a highway which claimed a number of victims in spite of various danger signs. A certain religious sect installed a large sign at the end of the road at the turn with this wording: “Prepare to meet thy God.” The accidents were reduced to almost nothing.—American City.

TURKEY RUN IS POPULAR MECCA OF VACATIONIST Thousands Make Repeated Visits to Wooded Tract of 750 Acres. One of the most popular vacation meccas in Indiana is Turkey Run State Park. In this, is found the finest of that interesting scenery for which the Sugar Creek country is famous. Thousands journey annually into Parker County to visit this park. Many make repeated visits. The park contains 750 acres, heavily wooded, of which 285 are covered by uncut virgin timber. This area is of high interest, because it represents the wilderness that existed before the white man came. Scattered Over Area Scattered through this primitive area are great walnuts, yellow poplars, white and red oaks, wild cherry, beech, sycamore and maple. Running back f.om the creek are deep gorges cut into sandstone at the time of the glaciers. In the park is the original State park hotel, Turkey Run Inn. This hotel has been noted for years for excellence and simplicity of service. It has over-night accommodations for 150 guests in two large brick buildings and many cottages.

How She Hits

BY ISRAEL KLEIN, Science Editor. NEA Service Few drivers do it, yet it is important that the car be kept as clean under the hood as above it. The reason is simple. Dust of the road collects easily on the engine and is held there by the oil that seeps out of the crevises and catches any particles that come in its way. This grime eventually finds its way into the engine, and then the trouble starts. The oil that lubricates the moving parts of a car has to be particularly clean. That is why we have oil filters and air cleaners to keep out the dust. If particles of sand or bits of metal from the engine or chassis happpen to get into the oil they scratch the finely polished surfaces of the parts and cause rapid wear. The space between moving parts of a car is little wider than a hair's breadth. Only pure oil should get in to lubricate the parts and keep them running smoothly. Engineers have watched the oil film building itself up between two moving parts, have noticed its comparative slowness in doing so, and have seen it break as soon as the movement stopped. Before and after the film of oil gets into the hair-breadth space there is metal-to-metal contact which wears down the surfaces. That is why an engine shouldn’t be raced on starting. There is more metal-to-metal contact, and the oil isn’t given its chance to work itself In.
