The disagreement between the SEN

Legislative funds waxed stronger this
afternoon when the senate, on motion
of Senator Clark, chairman Of the fl

in the house amendment TO Senate
Bill No, 3, providing for the payment
Of per diem and mileage of members
and per diem of employees.
The bill, as amended, was passed
by the house yesterday afternoon, and
reported to the senate today. The
house amendment eliminated the me-
cessity Of the chief clerk Of each
house certifying, under oath, that ev-
cry employee named in the payroll had
performed the services for which pay
ment was being made, requiring, SIM
ply, that either signed receipts or
signed orders should be presented,
and payment made on such repre-
sensations. 1t made possible the pay
ment of employees regardless of
whether or not they performed the
services specified.
The Clark motion carried u mani
mously. A conference on the bill will
now be necessary, and in the mean.
time the pay of members and en-
ployes will be held up. The senate
appears determined to maintain its
stand that employees shall work if
they are to be paid.

GOOD ADVICE.

The automobile tourist who insists
upon travelling ia absolute comfort
invariably carries in his car a more or
less complete kit of repairing equip
ment with which his tires and tubes
may be fixed up in time of emergency
A box Of patches, blowout boot
and few valve insides do not occupy
a great deal Of space, but there are &C.
casionally times when they prove OF
immense value.
In discussing this point the service
manager of the Fisk Rubber Company
points out way in which a motorist
II he is careful to keep his sundry kit
well stocked, effects a considerable
saving in his tire expense. He says
that "slow leaks" one of the most ex-
asperating difficulties which the mo.
torist can encounter, is more often due
to an imperfect valve inside than to
any other cause.
The sure cvure for this trouble is
to supply new valve inside which
can be accomplished easily and quick
ly thus remedying the entire cause. A
we'll furnished sundry kit is sure to
include several small articles of tire
equipment which are bound to result
in q saving to the motorist of both
time and money.
