 Nominations Again Considered.
 When the vice presidential nomina- tions again were taken up it was after midnight
 Judge Will R. King of Oregon offer- ed in nomination Senator George E. i Chamberlain of that state.
 Senator John Sharp Williams of Mississippi seconded the nomination of Senator Chamberlain
 It was also apparent that the real fight for the vice presidency rested between Gov. Burke and Gov. Marshall of Indiana. The states seeonding the nominations of the two governors were about equally divided
 Bryan Then Proposed. When the District of Columbia was reached one of the delegates proposed i William J. Bryan as vice presidential candidate. A roar swept the hall as the name was mentioned

 Ballots Result Scattered.
 The ballot showed widely scattered vote, and it was apparent early in the roll call that there would be no nomi- nation on the first ballot. Generally the anti-Bryan delegates were inclin- ed to support Marshall. but the lines were not sharply drawn. The Indianan took the lead. however, from the start and many of the Wilson-Bryan states cast their votes for him.
 The first ballot on the vice Dresiden- tial nomination: Marshall 39S, Burke 305 1-2. Chamberlain 157.
 The remainder of the vote was scat tered among native sons.

 Chairman James ordered the roll
 call. Before the roll call could be be-

PISTON DISPLACEMENT
IS NOT GENERALLY KNOWN

The Santa Monica road race, which was
won by a car with $50 cubic inches piston
displacement, caused many motorists TO
hunt some authority on motor cars and
learn just what piston displacement"
means. A canvas along automobile row
proved that there IL a shocking lack Of
knowledge on this particular subject. The
common impression was that II is the size
Of the cylinders. This is not so. 1t is the
area times the length of the stroke Of
the piston in the cylinder times the num-
Der of cylinders. In other words, the
icublcal contents Of the cylinder between
the piston at its highest point and at its
lowest point.
Therefore the greater the distance be-
tween the highest and lowest point Of the
piston's stroke, the greater the number
Of cubic inches OF gas, resulting in a
greater amount Of power.

BIG CAR MAKERS SELECT
WOOD RATHER THAN METAL

Metal bodies versus wood bodies is a
prolific source Of argument and conten-
ton among the makers OF motor cars.
While II is true that many cars are
built with metal bodies, some of the
manufacturers are swearing by wood. and
offer a number Of convincing arguments
why is should be employed in preference
to any other material
One OF the principal arguments against
the use Of metal is the fact that, unless
It is employed in small panels. there is
a good chance for the finish to crack and
drop off at the end Of the winter season.

You and i cannot set aside precedents
or the calls already issued.
THE question of selecting representa-

the several States and Congressional dis
