NEW YORK STOCKS
HAVE BAD SLUMP
Denial Of Eastern Railroads
Motion and European Selling
Start Bear Raid.

NEW YORK, June 21.-The stock
market slumped badly this morning and
closed weak. Union Pacific was the
weakest spot, opening a point on and
closing 3h points below yesterdays
close. The bears were active, taking
advantage Of European selling on the
Bulgarian situation and the announce
ment Of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission denying the motion Of the East

advance case. though the commission
announced that 1t had ordered an in
quiry on its own part. There was also
heavy selling Of Raeding. which drove
that stock down 2x points, with a re.
all but a fraction Of Q points, and st.

points, and Great Northern II. At

LESS AIR IS NEEDED
ON SUMMER DAYS
Heat Causes Pressure to Be-
come Greater in Tires, Says
N. 7. Pollock.

almost everyone is aware Of the
fact that heat causes air to expand, %
recently remarked NJ. T. Pollock, who
handles the Oldsmobile and Oakland
lines. but there are many owners Of
automobiles driving their first cars
who have not realized the effect this
conmponplace natural law has on
tir4s
"A Thorough appreciation of the re-
lation of temperature to tires is nee
essary II one Is to drive a car with
the greatest economy and with the
greatest safety.
Tires of certain diameters takc GER
tain pressures IL they are properly in
hated. The temperature rises SO liign
these hot summer days that the air in
the tires expands and initiates the tires
beyond the maximum of pressure.
While the tires may not always, as a
result of this high pressure blow
through the casing. they may blow the
casing on the rim 1t Is therefore ad-
yisable during the hot period to keep
the air pressure down and generally
would be sufficient for economy and
safety.
There is SO much more friction when
a car Is run at high speed that IL is
advisable also to avoid excessively fast
driving during real hot weather II you
wish to be careful of your tires. Some
times Ii Is well to examine the tires
to see whether or not they feel un-
usually hot. II they do they should be
treated to a pail of water to cool

Automobile owners and drivers are ur

dinary care exercised by motor car driv-
ers, accidents would be a hundred times
more frequent. 1t Is not denied that
there are some unheeding drivers, but
the percentage is small.
To take a short trip through the

Racing Is Real Test
Of Automobile Tires

Racing is test Of tires On account
of two points-heat and speed. Fast
driving causes heat and that is pre-
judicial TO the life of tire. But how
many folks realize that ordinary road
driving in the summer weather may he
just as much a heat test for tires as
when they are on a racing car? When
the sun shines hot, and a touring car
is bowling along a smooth road on a
high rate of speed the tires are being
fast around a track speedway.
Therefore. the tire manufacturer who
doesn't build tires for racing pur-
poses has to meet nearly the same, IL
not exactly the same. call on his pro-
duct when summer weather comes.

Ignorance Of Poker
Gets Man Jailed

NEW YORK, June 21.-Because he did
not know anything about the game of
poker. Louis Appel was sentenced to
spend ten days in Jail by Judge Hand,
in the United States district court.
Appel was callead before United
States Commissioner Gilchrist recently
to testify In his bankruptcy proceedings.
He said he had lost the assets of his
company at poker. The attorney for
the creditors questioned him. One of
the answers was that a straight con-
sisted of the nine. ten. eleven, twelve,
and thirteen of any suit, and that he
thought 1t would beat four aces. Conn
missioner Gilchrist referred the matter
to Judge Hand, who held that Appel
had been evasive in his answers and
committed him to Jail.
Creditors, accuse Appel of concealing
about $50 900 worth of assets.

City Provides Ice
During Drivers Strike

CINCINNATI, June 2l.-The city OF
Cincinnati went into the ice business
when 1t established depots at all of the
fire engine houses of the city where
families were supplied who could not
obtain ice from their regular dealers on
account of the strike of ice wagon
drivers, their helpers. and engineers of
ice wagon plants.
The action of the engineers in going on
strike resulted in the closing down Of a
number of plants and a further curtail-
ment Of the ice supply. To alleviate the
suffering and inconvenience of the peo-
pie, Mayor Hunt telegraphed to the
mayors Of indianapolis, Cleveland, and
Columbus to ship as much ice as pos
sible to Cincinnati.

How to Fasten Tag
Upon Automobile

1t is bad practice to fasten a license
tag to the radiator filler. unless the
lower portion Of the tag is braced
against the radiator frame.
A very slight knock on the lower end
Of the tag is liable to tear the base Of
the filler from its fastening on the top
Of the radiator, owing to the leverage
through which the force acts.

Looseness Causes
Bulbs to Break

A possible cause for the breakage
of incandescent lamp filaments in either
Ffnside or outside automobile lamps is
looseness of the bulbs in their sockets.
The rafting of the lamps is accom-
panied by a series of sharp little raps,
which hasten the destruction of the
filaments. 1t often is possible for such
looseness to exist without interrupting
the flow Of current.
