OVERHAUL AUTOMOBILE
BEFORE SUMMER GRIND

A thorough overhauling Of the car
now before the long summer grind sets
in Is one form of motor insurance that
every owner can afford to take out.
As the summer months approach. the
motorist who Is running his car for the
second season may discover that a
rigid inspection at this time of the year
will stand between long repair bills
and perhaps costly accidents. Over
hauling does not mean a superficial In
spection of the chassis and body and
the tightening of a few noticeably
loose nuts. II includes thorough and
systematic job of putting the vehicle in
the best possible condition.
It is a good plan to begin the over
hauling with the motor and take in the
details OF the car at a time. " nothing
else is done the grease and CRIME from
a years running should be washed
from the cylinders and motor base. with
gasoline. The interior parts of the
motor, particularly where carbon de-
posits occur. should be swabbed out
with kerosene-soaked cloth
The man who takes care of his own
car can readily remove the ,ower part
of the crank case. or oil reservoir and
clean this thoroughly. 1t is good prac-.
tice in connection with this operation
to throw out all the black and. used oil.
and MI the reservoir with new lubri-
cant. At the time the lower. part OF
the crank case Is removed the bearings
of the connecting rods on the crank-
shaft can be easily inspected

FARGO CO. ADDS
TO PENSION PLAN
Express Firm Reoreanizes
Benefit System, Giving Men
Many New Advantages,

Announcement is made by Wells Fargo
& Co. Express to its employees of a
new benefit and pension plan. which
ranks with the best pension plans. The
new system went into effect on June 1.
The company has been retiring its older
men on pensions for more than a quar-
ter Of century-for the past twelve or
a distinct feature of its general organi-
cation. But the new plan. as its name
indicates, contemplates much more than
pension relief. One Of its most salient
features is a disability clause. which
applies to any established worker in the
company's ranks who may be stricken
by illness or by accident
To make this clause clearly under
stood. It Is only necessary TO read the
program OF the new pension system 1t
specifically states that any Wells Fargo
salaried employe, who has been six
months or more in the service. when in
eapacitsted for work by accident or
sickness, while not on duty, may be al
lowed pay for the period OF the enforced
absence, in accordance with a very gen.
erous table OF time allowances
Continue Pay After Death.
Another feature OF the new pension
plan Is the one which provides for the
continuance OF a mans salary to his
benefciaries for a season after his death.
The new plan recognizes, of course, all
the sturdy principles to which Wells
Fargo has long been committed. In fact,
its careful perusal will show that many
OF the provisions OF the old have been
amplified. To make a single instance. the
minimum pension allowance for super
annuated employees is now hxed at $50 a
month. Under the old plan there was no
minimum allowance.
Because OF these traditions Of the early
Wells Fargo, coming down to today. the
earlier pension plan came into existence
a number Of years ago. At first this plan
was most informal. In the years when
the general headquarters of the company
we're situated at San Francisco the men
who had been Identified with 1t in the
days OF the pony-rider, the clipper-ship
and the six-horse coach were coming into
the evenings of their lives-lives spent in
the faithful and loyal service of Wells
Fargo. II was the privilege of the ex-
press company at that time to single out
these men and to reimburse them each
From such an informal beginning the
pension plan gradually grew more sys-
tematic until. fourteen years ago, a for
NAL plan was adopted and since then has
been administered by regularly ap-
pointed pension board.
This board continues, with only slight
changes, under the new plan. 1t consists
of Vice Presidents Andrew Christeson,
Of San Francisco. and z. A. stedman. of
Chicago, the operating heads of Wells
Fargo, Vice President and Comptroller
J. W. Newlean, of Chicago. and General
Superintendents II. B. Calkins, OF Chi
cago, and Grover 3. Simpson, OF st.
Louis. These men will administer the
details of the new plan through its gen.
erl office at Chicago. They are all vet
eran expressmen, capable of understand
ing all the problems of the men with
whom they are cooperating.

LAW DEFINES WHO MAY
ATTEND POLICE, fnIrp,r

The exceptions OF those who NAV at
tend Police Court roccedings with
out permits are described by the ordi-
nance as follows: Accused persons, wit
nesscs, police officers, officers OF the
city and State, prosecuting attorneys
and persons holding cards of admission
To each of the officials concerned
Mayor Ainslie has directed a letter and
cites this portion of the ordinance.
1t is pointed ont in some quarters
that the explanation of the congestion
in Police Court is simple: that il Is
due to the growth of the number or
cases which are called for trial each
day.
The capacity OF tho courtroom. situ
ated In the north east corner OF the
basement OF the City Hall. is seventy
seats. The average number OF cases
before Justice Crutchheld is 100. rang
ing from about sixty 10 200 during any
one week. The minimum number of
persons involved in any one case is
three-the accused. the prosecuting
officer and one witness for the defense
In many instances tho number of wit
ncsscs reaches 4 half-dozen With the
minimum number of persons in each
case placed at three and the average
number OF cases ~ 100. il is clear that
500 people daily visit tho court This,
OF course. does not include the ncccs-
sary court attendants. The number Of
spectators who enter with permits is
negligible, examination Of the records
less than ten i week are given out
Tho Police Justice rarely, or never,
issues permits himself.
The conclusion, therefore, is that the
capacity of the courtroom is More than
ovcrtaXed.
