WILL ARREST GOVERNOR
TO TEST EIGHT-AOURL LAW

In order to settle some disputed
points in the eight-hour law, an agree
ment has been made between Labor
Commissioner Hoff and the governor,
secretary of state and state treasurer,
under which the three latter will be
arrested for violating the law in the
conduct of the state institutions, in
working employees more than eight
hours. The decision of the supreme
court left the matter in doubt as to
to just whom the law applied. 1t is
to determine whether the law applies
to state employees the action is brought,
The governor is immune from arrest,
but to get the matter settled has waived
his privilege in this line, and will be
placed under arrest Here, again, the
governor sets new mark, for, so far
as known no governor has ever been
arrested for acts in connection with his
office.
The arrests will be made today, If the
complaints can be made in time.

Causes Outlined by Expert,
Who Tells How to Remedy

Every motorist who takes a pride in

Sometimes 1t Is a difficult matter to
decide just where a knock is located
and just what part is causing 1t. and II
often happens that although the knock
is clearly heard in front, the exact
spot cannot be found. Some owners are
at a loss to know just what might cause
knock into motor. and for this rea-
son some of the common causes are
herewith given.

always to blame.
1t occurs often that the push rod Is

cam strikes the roller or fiat bottom. as
the case may be, the push rod will be
thrown against its guide. Shimming
up the guide Is a good remedy.
A valve stem guide when worn ex-

worn diagonally the valve will not seat

A good test for a loose bearing Is to

EASY TO CLEAN OFF
TAR FROM CAR BODY

With Sticky Substance From
Oiled Roads.

At this time Of the year when road
authorities are oiling the fine macadam
roads leading out of Washington little
information how to clean the automo-
bile after it passes through several
miles of sticky substance will likely in
terest many owners of cars.
1t Is a well-known fact that it is
seldom possible to pilot a machine over
newly tarred roads without transfer
ring at least some OF the sticky COM
position to the body of the car. If
treated in time the spots are not diff
hcult to remove.
The machine should be washed to
eliminate all grit and dried by patting
with channels, so that the tar will not
be smeared. Vaselipe or butter should
be applied over each spot and worked
in with the fingers. A thorough wash
with body soap and a final polish in
the usual manner completes the oper-
alton.

1915 CARS TO SHOW
WOMAN'S INFLUENCE
Devices That Add to Conven-

By HARRY WARD.

More attention will be paid to women
drivers in the 1915 models than in any
which have been produced heretofore.
The 1914 models did contain a great
many points which reflected the domin-
ance of women. and to these there will
be many additions. according to news
emanating from the great automobile
manufacturing cenIers. such as Detroit,
Indianapolis, and other mid-Western
cities
During the present season it has been
noticed in Washington, Philadelphia,
New York, Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo,
and elsewhere that the number of women
drivers is rapidly increasing. This has
been brought about by the improve
ments to the cars. the tendency TO sim
plification and ease of operation.
OF course. the self-starter has been
the particular boon to women. Then the
electric lights and the tops which can
be raised without the aid Of derrick
or crane have also been factors in
making the automobile popular with
feminine drivers.
