ALARM FOILS
AUTO THIEVES
Device on Market to Raise
Noise When Tamperer
Touches Car.
A device designed to protect the owner
of an automobile not only against theft,
but also against the illegal use of his
car and the annoyance caused by tamper
ers Is being marketed by Helsbels, Incor
porated, of Chicago.
It is an alarm signal located in a pro
tected box on the running board which
is so connected with the car as to emit
an alarm whenever the car is tampered
with in any degree. It possesses the fur
ther advantage of being so constructed
that disconnection or efforts to discon
nect it immediately set it into full cry.
O. H. Kepley, president of the corpor
ation, says It is the plan of the company
to educate the public to realize that no
Helsbels-equipped -ar is in the hands of
its owner when the alarm Is sounded. He
says the device Is In demand among
truck owners who handle valuable mer
chandise and autolsts who wish absolute
protection for their cars.
Mr. Kepley says of the device:
It Is a rigid, heavily constructed
aluminum box containing a floating, non
mechanical electric switch, which is
thrown into electrical contact by a verv
slight vibration. This contact sets off
a self-inclosed alarm. The battery, com
pensating switch and the alarm are in
side the heavy pase, and there is no out
side connection to the alarm. Vertical
vibrations or road shocks will not set
off the alarm. It affects only ! y a vi
bration caused by touching or moving
the car.
In the top of the heavily constructed
box is the alarm switch, from which we
also wire to the ignition, making this
an ignition switch. This is the only wir
ing leaving the case and has nothing
whatever to do with the alarm device
proper. Cutting the ignition wiring
would cause the alarm to sound, and con
sequently would frustrate a thief.
The device proper, which is of very
rigid construction, but weighs only ap- 1
proximatelv eighteen pounds, is attached
to the right running board and cannot
be removed or disturbed without causing
an alarm for such a period of time that
theft of the car would be made impos
sible.
The owner when leaving the car throws
the combination switch, which also dis
connects the ignition. T'ntll the owner
returns this switch to its neutral posi
tion and connects the ignition no one can
disturb the car without causing a fiend
ish alarm. Any attempt to open the de
vice to get at the combination switch
causes an alrm and the switch itself has

From Grand-pa down to “Buster.” these delicious meats are thor
oughly enjoyed by the whole family and, like Oliver Twist, they ask
for more.
Mother appreciates these meats most of all; because they are conve
nient to handle; —they are easily and quickly prepared; —there is no
waste; and she can keep a quantity on hand for emergencies.
She knows too, that Uncle Sam’s guarantee of purity is behind every
can and that she pays less than pre-war prices for this nourishing
canned corned beef and corned beef hash.

more than a million and a half combina
tions, and is unbeatable. The device is
protected against acids, water, short cir
cuits, and is in every way so constructed
that it cannot be put out of commission
within a reasonable length of time.
It is necessary to rnew batteries year
ly. at an expense of two dry-cells.
The basic necessity in an alarm de
vice is that it will alarm when disturbed
and Instantly stop when tampering
ceases. Such an alarm has been im
possible until the Helsbels compensating
switch was invented, inasmuch as any
mechanical switch would be entirely too
expensive.
Nothing in the Helsbels device is com
plicated and there is nothing to get out
of order after a device has been sealed.

The Truth About Indianapolis
PARIS may set the style for Milady’s hats
and frocks, but the automobile manufac
turers in Indianapolis are the criterion of
the styles of fine cars in which she motors.
There are more fine car builders in Indianapolis
than in any other city in the United States.
Eight of the eleven automobile manufacturers
in this city build high-priced cars. The cheap
est automobile and those among the highest
priced are Indianapolis-made products.
Automobiles with a retail value of $95,000,000
were manufactured in this city last year. The
manufacturers exported to every continent
automobiles valued at $7,000,000, so that In
dianapolis-made automobiles travel the roads
of every principal country in the world. As
high as 8,500 men and women were engaged in
the industry in this city in 1920. This week’s
Auto Show, at the State Fair Grounds, with
its 117 exhibitors displaying $1,000,000 worth
of automobiles, trucks and accessories reflects
the importance of the automobile industry in
Indianapolis.
