' i Our experiments prove, and the experienced of millions of. motor ists confirm them, that spark plujrs should be changed after . 10,000 miles of driving. Beyond that point it is false economy to keep them in use aH they waste more oil and (rnsollno than a new set .costs. owever much we may Improve the spark plus to meet now enplne conditions, this necessity will still bit apparent. It will be true In 1040. as It is in 1930 and has been for several years, that it is better economy for every motorist to in stall n, convplcto new- set of spark plugs at least once every year. BISHOP'S SON HELD IN SLAYING Few mechanisms rival the spark phitf hi the strains imposed on It. Kvery mile a car runs each of its spnrk pliiffs must flro Its ehnrno llfiOOO times, each one at the uxaet thousandth of a second when It Is needed and always In tem-pera-turos varying from normal to as high na 1000 degrees. This Is opo of tho reasons why motorists In stall new sets of spark plugs dur ing National Champion Change Week, which this year is from May 5 to 11. , Thousands of tests by Champion, engineers have proved that the owner of a motor car who changes spnrk plugs after 10,000 miles of driving, or at least once a year, actually saves oil consumption, be sides Increasing his -enjoyment of his ear's improved performance and saving repairs caused by de terioration of his engine. 33 To Graduate At High School At Enterprise (by "Observer Correspondent) - K.VTiCRPRIKU (Special) Ad opting "Caps and Gowns" for graduating us a custom, a class of a:) students of Knterprlse High school will receive diplomas, May 15.

This is Champion National Change Week. First established tsix years ago, it is now a yearly reminder to motorists throughout the city to share in the benefits enjoyed by changing to a new set of Champions every year. Last year all our customers who in stalled new Champions at the 10,000 milt; murk secured more power and speed, Jaslct acceleration, and all- around better performance and rroi omy for an entire year. ThischangeactuallycoHt them nothing, for new Champions save their price in less gas and oil alone. ; ' - All motor car manufacturer, recom mend that car owners chuugo their spark plugs every 10,000 miles, and . millions do so, just as they change their ' oil at more frequent intervals. They do this because they recognize the transition to which every park plug, no matter how .-well made, in subject in modern high speed, high com pression engines.'" The insulator becomes carbon en crusted and the electrodes corroded through pitting ami burning. This diffuses und wcukens the spark. Com bustion is not complete. Cus is wasted and peeps by tho pinions to dilute the oil. Power is lost. The engine become sluggish. Speed is Impuired. New spark pines change all this. Ther is more complete burning of the gu. Power is increased. Muggishness is gone as the engine picks up more rapidly. Speed is restored. Although Champions will continue to function almost indefinitely, there has always been economy in cbuugiiig them every 10,000 miles, or at least once u year. The economy of continuing Champion's better performance, of. the saving in gas und oil, uf freedom from trouble all these arc achieved. ISring your car to us, have n complete set of Champions installed, and enjoy belter performance for the next year. Perkins Motor Company Main 500 Cor. 4th and Adams
