NEW MACHINE
MUST CARRY
FRESH TITLE
Many Violations of State Auto
Title Law Discovered by
State Poiice.
SI FEE FOR TRANSFER
If yon bare purvbased a car and
bare not had your license officially trans
ferred from the old one to the new one,
prepare to do It now.
The new certifh-ate of title law has
revealed th“ rather startling fact that M
per cent of the purchasers of new cars
simply transfer their license plates and
never think of notifying the State auto
mobile department, where there is charged
a fee of #1 for the transfer.
Persons who apply for certificates of
title and who have not transferred their
licenses to their new cars are required
to do so before they are given clear
titles. Asa result, more than five times
as much money is being collected In
transfer fees as has ever been collected
before from this source.
STATE POLICE
FIND OFFENDERS.
The twelve State policemen who have
’been appointed to see that the license
and titles laws are being carried out
have discovered that there are hundreds
of persons in Indiana who have never
gone through the formality of taking
out licenses for their automobiles. These
cars are actually being driven without
plates in some parts of the State.
Another practice discovered to be com
mon is for two automobile owners to
buy a license between them and put one
plate on each car.
Tartly due to the fact that the State
police are discovering these violations,
the automobile department has pur
pnrehased 13.000 sets of license plates In
addition to those originally thought to
be sufficient. To date the State has
licensed 320.000 pleasure cars and 36.500
trucks.
PREDICT BIG
INCREASE.
Thus far there have been issued a total
es 160.000 certificates of title. It is pre
dicted that 200.000 will have been issued
by the end of this month. The time
during which these certificates may be
obtained will expire Sept. 1.
Deflation Needless
During Jlot Weather
What effect has summer heat on tires?.
Here Is a timely warning against reduc
ing air pressure in your tires on a hot
day. Experience shows most of the heat
generated in a tire comes from the Inside
of the tire and is due to friction and con
stant flexing. The amount of this heat
increases with underinfiation. A test
made on a five-inch cord tire run at
thirty miles an hour for two hours at the
standard seventy pounds air pressure
with the temperature of the air 62.6 de
grees Farenheit. increased the tempera
ture of the tire to 86 degrees and the
pressure to ouly seventy-five pounds. For
an Increase of fifteen pounds pressure it
would be necessary to have a tempera
ture increase of 70 degrees over normal.
This, of corrse, is improbable and prove,
the motorist has little to fear from In
creased temperature.

CINCINNATI. July 27.—“1n the past
twenty year* one-twentieth of the pop
ulation of the United States has been
Involved in divorces,” declared C. C.
Carstens. national director of the Child
Welfare League of America.
“The child Is generally merely a pawn

he said. “The total number concerned
In these divorce cases has been 5,333,000

\\T E MUST all face this fact, or spend our old age in
a fool's paradise. Next Monday I will open my
forty-sixth Lockhart Mill-End Sale in Indianapolis. To
make this occasion stand out above and beyond any that
have gone before, I, the managpr and originator of this
unique merchandising movement, must proclaim anew
message of hope and anew and different road to economy.
“The Mill-End prices speak in a language all their
own and the contributions of this business to the wel
fare of all who take advantage of the opportunities
offered. For over twenty-three years the people of the
Hcosier State Capital have thrilled and inspired me in
my strange kind of business.
“Tour wonderful patronage—the great crowds—
whisper encouragement and confidence. This never fails
to add renewed strength and energy to my strenuous life.
I have a staggering business problem to grapple with this
year. Even in the face of present industrial conditions l
must continue to beat all former Lockhart Mill-End Sales
records.
“It CAN be done. I know I can depend on my readers
accurately to examine my offerings on which it is jour
duty to save. Read the papers carefully and note the
wonderful opportunities which will be presented to jwu
dailj'.”

Discovers How to End
Baskets
OSWEGO. N. y., July 27.-No more
empty baskets for fishermen. That’s
what the Invention of J. F. Andersou,
ofMMinettaa —a hook with bait attached
—promises. For some months Anderson,
a well-known angl*r, has been experi
menting with a small looking glass that
goes Into the water just behind his
baited hook.
The fish, attracted by the reflected
light from the mirror, investigates. Then
he sees a big angle worm squirming
in the water and the reflection of another
fish in the mirror about to snatch It
away. It becomes a question of who
g"ts its first, and the result is that the
sucker Is hooked.
Wetter Than Ever
LONDON, July 26.—According to of
ficial statistics Issued by the Cologne
Prohibitionist Congress, the drink traf
fic In Germany, which had decreased
during the war. Is again Increasing con
siderably. Ten million bottles of cham
pagne were sold In Germany last year,
while ten thousand million marks were
spent on alcoholic liquors.
ESCAPING THE “COOLER.”
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 26.—Even
burglars must keep cool.
One entered the borne of T. H. Seel
binder and after taking a course of iced
lUDchenn from a refrigerator heard
members of the family entering. He
grabbed a bathing suit and dived
through a window. He is recovering in
a hospital.
BUSSES SUPPLANT RAILROADS.
ALBANY. Ga., July 27.—As a result of
I curtailed train service on main lines and
suspended service on branch lines In
southwest Georgia, autobus and motor
truck lines are fast supplanting railroad
service. Bus line operators rtate there
are more than fifty successful lines in
operation in Georgia.

ALIGNMENT AID
TO LIFE OF TIRES
Abnormal Wear Often Only
Means of Discovery.
Dne to the fact that so many tires are
put out of service because of faulty wheel
aiignu ent, it is the first duty of every
motorist, having trouble with his treads
wearing down prematurely, to examine his
wheels for alignment before blaming the
tires. Misalignment of wheels Is an ex
tremely eommon trouble. It Is ordinarily
nnnotioeable In driving and often
times therv Is no way to detect it except
the abnormal wear on the tire. W hen
the wheels are in proper alignment, the
front and rear Wheels track and there Is
no skidding.
To the average driver, one degree mis
alignment seems of small importance.
However, a 30x3Vi fabric tire which is
94 degrees in circumference drags a frac
tional part of a foot farther under the
same conditions in running a mile. In
Inches, 1 16-lnch misalignment Bkids the
tire 13 feet per mile; 1-3 inch. 29 feet per
mile; 1 4 inch 57 feet per mile, and Vi
lnoh, 115 feet per mile. The abrasive ac
tion of the road would be more severe
on the smaller size tires than on the
larger tires, were the weights of the
car the same. As this is not the
case, however, tires of different sizes wear
down In relatively the same ratio per de
gree of misalignment.

SAVANNAH. Ga., July 27. Because
the statutes only say that vehicles of

No one was near the plane when it was
