THEY GOT THEIR FOOT IN IT.
BY Gibson Gardner.
Washington, July 27.-The effort at
censoring press copy in times of peace
under the auspices of the war depart
ment has broken down. The Boalt
case has brought the matter to
sharp test and the officials here are
about ready to admit that the threat
ened deportation and dulldozing of
Boalt have been a mistake.
Secretary Daniels is frankly against
the whole censorship system. He be-
ieves in the freest osrt of publicity,
whether it is pleasant to members of
the navy or not. Garrison thinks
mistake was made by Funston in
handling the Boalt matter at Vera
Cruz. However, he is in favor gener-
ally Of the general staff's plan for
handling newspaper correspondents
and their copy in the field. All Off
Gals are considerably embarrassed by
the fact that officially there is no war.
1t is freely admitted that the regu-
laClonS IN regard TO censofmg, re-
curing bonds and enHsting CORE
spondents as members of the army
was all in preparation for war. War
has not happened. The resolution
passed by congress authorized the
president to use the military arms of
the government to deal with Huerta.
1t did not authorize war on Mexico.
So it comes about that in time of
peace the under officers at Vera Cruz
are attempting to apply wartime cen
sorship and to apply it not. for STRAIT
egic or military reasons, but for the
same reasons that the French army
sent Dreyfuss to Devils Island-"the
honor of the service"
The sub-officials have got to find
way to crawl out of this unpleasant
Boalt situation. The people here are
letting them know in as tactful way
as possible that they have put their

srANDARDIzAr1oN OF PARTS.

Ask any engineer what feature of modern naotorcar construction repre- sents the greatest Improvement and advancement in design, and he will say not the automatic engine starter, the six syIinder enginess but standard ization.
 That may be a word which means but little to the ear owner, but he unconscfously derives untold benefit from it every day that he runs his au- tomobile. By reason ~f it he#h has only to ask for certain kind of fspark plug and he knows it will fit the cylind Ter, he has only dozen or so different sizes of tires from which to select the one adapted to his car, and even the carburetor may be replaced by one of a different make without any change whatsoever in the bolt holes or attaching dange.
 A vital part of the motor or run ming gear may be replaced by a black smith or local machine shop from the ordinary sizes of stock carried on hand and the screw thread sizes as now used conform to as<certa1n stand ard that renders rep1aeements exceed ingly simple. Grease cups nuts or bolts that may have been lost may be replaced at the nearest supply store or garage, for no longer does each manufacturer work only to his own specifications on these minor parts F, D.

that Every man at first taking Up driving car is nervous, and even at that may later become a capable and dependable driver.
 MT Strobr1dge has a kind word to. say for his fellow examiners: ssThe exaTnin ers-are all human. and. it is sur prising the way they retain their tenn pers when you consider the fact that they have from thirty to fifty per cent. of rejections, all of which comes on their shoulders and that nine-tenths of their rejections are discontented men and that fifty per cent. of the men when they are. discontented do. not hesitate to tell you about it. For that reason the examiners are critf- cised more or less strongly, simply for doing their duty. If we were to fi- cense all who apply the sidewalks would be no safer than the roadways and the examiners would all be good fellows z a-at-ss'

oHAuFFEUR,s LICENSES.

The nervous candidate for a chauf- feur's license will be rejected, George Strobridge, chief exam miner of the New ork state automobile bureau, said last night in a talk 'eWe do not ac- cept the excuse of nervousness g said he, We consider nervousness a de- cided bar to any one in regard to the proper driving of an automobile. Those who say, When I get into the room and want to answer the ques- tions I get nervous'-those are the men who will stall their machines on railroad tracks when they see a train or a car approaching and they will become confused in tight places and instead of stopping the car will step on the accelerator.
 "It is not exactly the same thing, but as I am not a psych o1ogist I can however, that the mental conditions must be similar. If a man becomes confused when he is trying to do his hest at an examination he hardly will do his best under circurnsta nces of dincuIt or trying cases. Therefore the excuse of nervousness is not ac- ceptabie.''
 All of which leads the New York Sun to remark:
 Just why a man should not acquit himself we'll as a driver of a car be cause he gets fused up at a mental examination. MT. Strobridge doesn' t explain. It might be difficult But all of us know plenty of men who are thorough mechanics and who can drive a car to the queens taste who are embarrassed when it comes to writing down answers to questions. If Mir. Strobridge means that candidates who are nervous at the driving exam nations are rejected that is another matter, but handly a fair thing at
