JOB HUNTERS TAKE HOPE
Democratic Senators Are Encouraged
by Nominations


Washington, May 1,-Senatorial
job hunters took solace in the hope
that long list of nominations sent
to the Senate today was an indication
that the gates stemming the flood of
patronage were being lifted, and that
the stream would flow in the future
without hindrance. 1t was reported
among Senators that the difficulty
over the New York Collectorship had
been smoothed out, and that the Pres
ident wot!d send on Monday a nomi-
nation which would have the APPROX
al of Secretary McAdoo and would
not meet with opinion from Senator
O'Gorman.
Democratic hopes, however, were
raised on a precarious basis, as the
list of appointments to the Senate in
Guided, for the most part, unimpor-
tant postmasters
Among the important nominations
were those If E. K Campbell, of Biz
Bingham, campaign manager for Rep
resentatiye Underwood, to be Chief
Justice of the Court of Claims, and
Joseph E. Davies, of Wisconsin, to be
Commissioner of Corporations.
A snag wes struck today in the
nomination of W. II. Berry to be Col
lector at Philadelphia, to succeed c.
w. Hill. The Republicans insisted
on knowing whether Hills term had
expired, but before a resolution call
ing for this information could be pass
ed the Senate adjourned for lack of a
quorum.
Other nominations made today in
cluded Charles r. Kurtz, to be Sur
veyor of Customs at Philadelphia:
Mrs Annie G. Rogers, to be Receiver
of Public Moneys at Leadville, and
Walter w. Warwick, of Ohio to be
Assistant Controller of the Treasury
The Senate confirmed the nomina-
tons of Charles p. Neil as Commits
sioner of Labor Statistics, J. F. A.
Strong as Governor of Alaska, and II.
H. Smith as Commissioner of Fisher
les. The expected opposition to DR..
Neill did not develop much strength

der to place him on an equity with

Townsend Burden has received that
amount in lump sums from his
father.

to Mrs. Burden and the other two

Newspapers Power for Good, Says
Report to Congress
Washington, May 1.-The publicity
given by the press generally tends to
lessen evil conditions and thus rem
der useful service to the public"
say the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia in a report to Congress
today on the Works bill to provide
censorship of the news.
That dread of publicity has a de-
terrent influence upon those disposed
or tempted to the committing of crime
may reasonably be inferred from the
fact that most offenders against the
law earnestly seek to avoid exposure
of the circumstances of their misbe-
havior in newspaper reports of their
trials" the report declares.
For these reasons the Commission
ers believe the enactment of the pro-
posed legislation is inadvisable

HERE'S AN
INTERESTING
COMPARISON

Probably very few automobile
owners have ever stopped to
consider just how fine a piece

CINE really is." says A S. Ed
ridge, manager OF the Buick
Automobile Co. Pacific North
west distributors OF Buick and
National cars. The man who
owns even fine watch does
not complain II II varies 80 sec
onds in n week. but will swear
his auto is no good II II misses
one or two explosions. The
watch on the one hand is given
the best OF care. while the auto
IA given practically no care at
all. The watch runs at one
speed all the time. The aver
age engine OF an automobile
must be capable OF running per
fectly at any speed between 100
and 1000 revolutions per min
ute. Another very good COM
parlson is the railroad engine.
which runs on steel rails, is han
died by two mechanical experts
while running and is thoroughly
looked over and cleaned up at
tho end OF each run. Compare
this 20 motor car which is
pounded over hills and rocks and
through sand and mud by a man
who knows absolutely nothing
about machinery. but who ex.
poets and demands that his ma
chine take him any place that
he chooses TO 40.
Another comparison which
will prove interesting is the size
and weight OF the automobile
motor ms compared with any
other motor OF equal horsepower
except the specially constructed
aeroplane motor. Take any 80
horsepower motor. for instance,
other than an automobile engine.
and you will find the parts and
castings Of the heaviest kind.
and you will probably find It sit.
ting on cement foundation that
would take an earthquake TO
shake. In the motor car the
same power requirements must
be obtained from the motor OF
