ART SMITH IN JAPAN
HEADS RACING TEAM

Art Smith left early in February for
Japan to demonstrate his marvellous
aerial feats.
AS an added attraction to his
flights he planned to offer his audi
ence an opportunity to watch real
speed kings race in automobiles. and
for this purpose had constructed: ten
miniature motor racing cars.
These are equipped with Goodyear
aeroplane cord tires. The motors In
these cars are yDayidsons, and
he also uses Harley Davidson three
speed transmission and clutch.

SLIDING WHEELS Is
COSTLY FOR OWNER

When brakes are applied too sud-
denly and the wheels locked, the car
will often continue in motion with the
result that either one or both of the
rear wheels slide. Since rubber is
considerably softer and more yielding
than the road surface, the result of
this sliding will be noticed on the
tread of the tire because the sliding
along the.ground will generally scrape
off part ofsthe tread rubber.

About IL per cent OF the energy Of
the fuel in an automobile engine is
converted into useful work. over 90
per cent is absorbed by the cooling
water and more than 20 per cent Is
lost in the exhaust The remainder is
lost in friction in driving the cam
shaft, etc, at the bearings.
Don't start your car with jerk.
Always release che clutch slightly,
and see that the car starts away
easily. This prevents any undue
strain on any part of the mechan-
ism.
Don't attempt to shift the gears
without first releasing the clutch.
Don't start on drive without see
ing the car is properly filled with gas
cline, oil and water.
Don't drive with the tires partially
Debated; be sure the proper air pres
sure is maintained This means more
mileage and less tire trouble.
Don't tear down any part Of the mo-
tor without first locating the trouble.
Don't overload the car. Occasion
ally examine the clips which hold
the springs on. the axles. as they may
become a little loose and should be
frightened. A loose clip is often the
cause Of broken spring.
The first few thousand miles are
large factors in determining the life
of a motor car. For that reason each
new purchaser should definitely see
that the motor and other working
parts are properly fabricated and that
bolts are kept tight.
Unfortunately many motor car
gets its worst abuse while new.
Like any piece of machinery that is
new, special care should be given I'M
til it gets worked in. The old-fash-
toned buggy was run carefully at first.
And no railroad would put a new loco
motive into nard service the first
thing.
That the auto builder has made a
car to withstand the abuse that is
heaped upon it speaks well for the In
dustry.
Magnetos should be protected from
dust as well as moisture. The unpro-
tected magnetic will accumulate dust
from the air currents of the fan and
this adhering dust viii retain moisture
where short circuit may seriously in.
terfere with the ignition. The time
is coming. when all magnetos will be
enclosed.

LOWER INCOME
BY BASIL M. MANLY
Washington, Aug. 9.-Reduction
of the income tax exemption so that
every married person with an in
come over $4,000 and every single
person with an income over $4,000
will be required to pay tax of per
cent has been decided upon by the
Democratic members of the senate
finance committee.
The discussion lasted all day and
carried by a majority of only one
vote. The roII-caII is being kept
secret.
1t is practically certain that all but
two of the Republican members Of
the finance committee will endorse
the lowering Of the exemption, and
the amendment will therefore come
to the senate, as a committee amend
ment, with every probability Of pass
ing, unless an active public protest
is aroused.

anu SldIh NJ WIN lIldhS W live JUL VI
the six Republican members of the |
committee, have always fought to |
tax small incomes and keep the |
taxes or large incomes at the lowest |
possible rates.
Now that the Democrats have |
played into their hands by endorsing |
the tax on small incomes, the reac-
senate will redouble their efforts to
make the income tax unpopular by |
making all classes of incomes sub
ject to its provisions.
The only two Republican members
of the committee who are likely to
protest against the amendment are
LaFollette and McCHmber, and La
Toilette is planning to open his cam

PRESIDENT WILSON MAY END THE PLAN TO
LOWER INCOME TAX EXEMPTION

litical suicide.
The new taxes will hit the great
middle class, who are the decisive
factor at the polls, and who are al
ready groaning under the burden of
state and municipal taxes, which fall
most heavily on the classes of prop
erty they own.
am informed upon high authority
that President Wilson is studying the
taxation measures being proposed
by the Democratic members of the
finance committee with great con-
Germ, and that he will intervene, if
necessary, to prevent a taxation
policy so unjust and so unpopular as
the lowering of the income tax ex&
emption.
A strong group of progressive De-
mocrats and Republicans is also
forming in the senate to demand
that no further extension of the in
come tax shall be made, until the
evasion under the present law are
stopped by making the income tax
returns public.
In order to be successful, however.
this group will need strong backing
from the public.
It is possible the lowering of the
exemption may stir up the middle
class to take lively interest in the
enforcement Of tax that may affect
them, and thus bring about a
thorough examination of the whole
question of tax~dOdging, which con-
gress heretofore has refused to
make.

their deliberations.
Trouble began in the convention as soon
as II became apparent that the Harris
and McGraw factions would try to hold
conventions in the same hall. Attempts
by either side to transact business pre-
cipitated disorder. until the delegates
came to personal encounters and fought,
clawed and scratched while delegates on
the outskirts OF the tumult and the spec

Sees Tirpitz' Fall
Sign Germany Gives
Up Policy Of Force

BERLIN (via London). March l9-The
Cologne Gazette says that the resigna-
tion OF Admiral Won Tirpitz, signalizes
the beginning Of the war. whereas In
hostile countries there have been several
reorganizations OF ministries.
The Gazette says the admirals retire
ment docs not signify abandonment OF
the submarine campaign, which, az shown
by news dispatches Of the last few
weeks, in regard 10 the submarine ac-
uvity, is in fun swing.
II is not yet known publicly. the
Gazette continues, TO what extent the
admirars resignation was connected with
the submarine question. but there APP
pears incipient signs I'm the press, the
Reichstag and the Prussian chamber. that
an effort is being made TO bring public
opinion to the view that subma-
rines should not be used to such an
extent and in such a manner as Is neces-
STATED by war which IS only another
name for a means OF subduing the enc,
mics OF tho nation by force.
The newspaper argues that such an at
tempt To bring the pressure OF public
opinion TO bear on GeTmanys methods
OF conducting the war does not har-
monlze with German military traditions
This argument Is supported by a Ions
diversion 10 the recent history OF
France, Italy and Russia to prove that
public opinion drives the military authori'
ties into disastrous strategy

from customs officers at different border
