omy’ S ERRING AUTOS ~ WON'T BE 'P 'PAINTED' .

| Indianapolis motorists need have | no fear that the Scranton, Pa, {method of painting circles on the {cars of erring motorists will be adopted here, according to police. | The idea of painting yellow circles lon the rear of automobiles of those |motorists convicted of reckless driv-

[ing has been put into effect in [Scranton by the police in an effort to embarrass motorists to such an {extent that they will obey the law.

Indianapolis officials at one time {considered a sticker to be pasted cn {the windshield of such cars but a conference with legal advisers nipped the idea i in the bud. |

“We have since concluded that the City needs parking meters, and if it is evident that meters can be successfully installed, the club will | withdraw it opposition,” Mr. Stoops [ said. An ordinance or ordinancees must jhe Fnssen, he declared, before the | ers are installed, that will conI the following provisos: — Sealed coin receptacles nters on each machine. | Definite promise by law that | the oriey received in the machines | 0 for safety or traffic regula-! yi: 3.

Although by law in Indiana money may not be earmarked for a specific purpose, Mr. Stoops explained, it will be possible not to allow the money to be used for any | other purpose.

Above you see Wm. W. Duer, Jr., . . . ‘ma Smooth Whiskey — Despite Its Amazing Low Price!

New Jersey Manufacturer, making trial of Old Quaker whiskey.

® Here's a simple tip that can save you a heap of money: Buy whiskey by ils taste—and not by the price tag! If you do, you can cut your whiskey bills as much as $1.00 a quart—and here's why we say so: We wanted to know what 1,000 impartial strangers would think of Old Quaker whiskey—now 3 years old. So we sought out 1,000 men—druggists, salesmen, bankers—men of all types from 22 states. We poured each a glass of Old Quaker. “Smell it!” we asked them. “Taste it! Drink it! Then give us your frank opinion!”

Not one of these men knew the name, age or price of the whiskey he was trying. Yet out of 1,000 men—960 found Old Quaker a drink smooth in taste, yet mild and rich in flavor—a whiskey that satisfied them in every way! Yet this grand, mellow, 3-year-old whiskey sells at an amazing low price!

Make The Same Trial Yourself!

Perhaps you too have thought a whiskey, to satisfy you, must cost § lot. Try Old Quaker! Find out how Old Quaker can lower your whiskey bills!
