$4,000 MAJORITY
FOR UNDERWOOD
MAJORITY LEADER BELIEVES HIS
ELECTION HAS BEEN A
LANDSLIDE.

Birmingham, Ala, April S.-As the
count of the vote in Mondays primary
continued, the only change made was
in the Sixth congressional district,
when it now appears that William Oil
yer has defeated William Bankhead,
son of Senator Bankhead. 1t was at
first believed Bankhead had won. The
vote is still close in this race and
many boxes are yet to be heard from.
Runoffs probably will be necessary
in the Eighth district, formerly repre-
sented by Congressman William Rich
ardson, and in the Ninth district, rep
resented by Mr.. Underwood.
Although many counties have not
yet received anything like complete
reports from the various voting
places, it is apparent that Representa-
tive Underwood has a handsome ma
jority over Mr. Hobson.
Underwood Claims 10000
Both Representatives Hobson and
Underwood left Birmingham last night
for Washington. Mr.. Underwood went
by way of Orlando, Fla, where he will
spend day with Mrs. Underwood and
her father, ]. H. Woodward, who is
seriously i'll.
Just before his departure Mr.. Under
wood gave out the following state
ment:
Il am more than pleased with the
result of Mondays election. 1t looks
like 10000 majority. My friends and
the Democrats of Alabama deserve all
the credit 1 take none of the credit

the result justifies my contention that

Preserve Car Body.

For the particular man, one Of the
most trying things is to have the body
work of his car get shabby. The fol-
lowing mixture. makes an excellent
''restorer" for the body work: One
pint of turpentine, one pint of wood al
cohol, one quart Of distilled or rain
water, one quart of kerosene oil. Mix
the alcohol and turpentine together.
then mix the water and kerosene oil
together. In order to defy the old
adage about oil and water not mix
ing, it is necessary to place the kero-
sene and water in gallon jar and
shake briskly until they mix, then add
the alcohol and turpentine, which
have been previously mixed, and
shake the whole until thoroughly mix
ed. The mixture is apt to separate
after standing, but can always be
brought together again by brisk shak-
ing. The mixture should be applied
to the body work with the soft side
of a flannel cloth and polished with
dry one.

NEED A REGULATING VALVE
Use of Water With Gasoline Means a
Considerable Saving of Fuel to
the Auto Owner.

With the exhaust gas heater some
form of regulating valve should be
used and few cross partitions in the
inlet pipe at the point where the heat
is applied help heat the center of the
column of the entering mixture. Case
line will stand about eighty-five pounds
compression without pre-ignition.
Kerosene, however, will not stand over
seventy pounds unless small quantity
Of water is taken into the cylinder
with each charge. The customary man
ner of doing this Is to employ either
a separate small carburetor for the
water or small valve attached to the
regular carburetor. In a few engines
the water is injected directly into tho
cylinder.
The proportion of water employed
is about one and one-half pints of wa
ter to each gallon of kerosene. If the
water Is not used when the motor has
the usual compression employed for
gasoline the motor will pre-ignite aud

rod bearings. 1t is not generally known
that water may be used to- advantage
with gasoline in about the same pro-
portion with considerable saving of

CHANGES IN PLAYING RULES
Federal League Expected to Alb
Rulings Just the Same as cor
qanized Ball" Teams.

Three radical changes have been
govern baseball wherever it is played.
The Federal league is expected to
abide by the changes just the same
as the so-called organized baseball"
teams. Probably the most important
change is the one that will prevent
the coacher at third base from stop
ping or holding up runner. If the
coacher puts his hands on the run
ner the latter is out. Under the old
rules the coacher was permitted to
put his hands on the runner.
Another improvement In the rules is
that the coacher can encourage the bat
ter, runner, or, in fact, anybody on
his own side. In the old way the
umpire used to rule against a coacher
shouting to the batter. Another
change stipulates that if an umpire is
hit by ball on fair ground, play con-
tinues just the same as though moth
ing happened. Last year the batter
was often sent to hit over after the
umpire had been hit by the batted
ball. 1t is also ruled that pitcher
can deliver the ball without danger
of having balk called on him as long
as either foot Is back of or on the
pitchers plate. Now, even If pitch
er should drop the ball accidentally
balk is called on him. Such mat
tiers used to be left to the discretion
of the umpire.
When a player knocks home run
over the fence he must touch every
base If an attempt is made to hinder
the catcher from throwing, the batter
only is out, and not the runner also,
If he is nailed.
