Nashville, Sept. 26.-While the six
ty-frst general assembly of the state
of Tennessee has not yet been chosen
by the electors, the party nominees
have been named and in many coun-
ties and districts of the state the elec-
tion will be merely a matter of legal
formality. Be that as it is, the politi
cal pot that always boils or bubbles
just prior to meeting of the legisla-
ture lis beginning to make noise in
the state. Probable law making and
the election of speaker of the two
branches of the assembly is what is
giving the politically-inclined some-
thing to talk about.
For some time there has been talk
that the coming session might be very
dierent from the preceding sessions
in that it would be short and nothing
but business. Opinions vary as to just
what should be done and suggestions
include everything from a thirty-day
session and adjournment until fall to
twenty-day session and no private
bills. However, with so much talk
about departing from the old ways of
legislating, something tangible may
develop.
"Retrenchment" seems to be the slo-
gan of all who talk about what is to
be done on Capitol Hill after the new
year comes. But where to start the
retrenchment and where to end it will
give the solons something to think
about. Judge Roberts, the democratic
nominee, has left no doubt in the minds
of the people as to where he stands on
the question Of financial administra-
tion of Tennessee--the state must be
conducted within its income.
Senator J Parks Worley Of Bluff
City was also in Nashville Wednes-
day, and when asked about his report
I'd candidacy Cor the spaaiekship, he
said he preferred 10 say nothing, nei-
ther to affirm or to deny the report.
He has been urged to run, however
but has not made up his mind. 3
However, while Senator Worley is
non-committal about the speakership,
gossip has it that there will be num-
Der Of aspirants for the honor. While
formal announcements have not been
made, it is believed that A. L. Todd of
Rutherford county, A. V. Louthan of
Sumner, w. R. Miller of Lauderdale
and Albert E. Hill of Davidson will try
for the honor. e. L. Haston of Spen-
Ger, who was returned by his constitu-
ents, and who was one of the contend
ers for the speakership two years ago,
is said may enter the race.
There is not much gossip about the
speakership Of the lower house, but
there is no danger of it going begging.
There is always large field in this
contest.
The gossip of political circles mas it
that there will be number of changes
made in offices of the government be-
ofre the next general assembly finish
es its duties. While it is urged that
some offices should be abolished as
needless, it is also urged that in some
cases the Offices be consolidated or re-
arranged.
A tax commission with power to do
things, has again been suggested as a
means of reaching the tax evaders, or
rather bringing about a full assess
ment of all property that should bear
its burden of taxation.

AS Good as New.

The mishap to the Hoe cylin-
der press in The Oasis office
that put it out of commission IL
hours one day last week, caus-
ing the paper to issue at S
O'Clock p. M, instead of 5 a. NJ,
was due to the fact that the
gears of a Pinch pinion had
worn so they slipped out of place
in travelling back and forth
against another pinion, and
when they did so they acted as
a brake and stopped the press.
The pinion transmitted motion
to the distributor, an important
factor in operation of a press.
The difficulty was fixed tempor-
ariy at the shop of the Arizona
& Sonora Manufacturing COM
pany-Mr. Harry Tomlin, super
intendent-and with that, to-
gether with careful manipula-
tion of a screwdriver against a
bearing, the press was made to
work after a fashion, and the
paper issued each day. Yester-
day the same shop cut gears
into a new pinion, and at the
same time cut a new worm screw
and guide at the other end of the
distributor, which put the press
into first class condition again.
Such presses are like locomo-
tives; a small breakage will put
out of commission the entire ma
chine, while replacing a small
part will make it as good as new.

"Who's Who"

Under the above caption the
Saturday Evening Post of last
week presented a very interest
ing and readable short story
that is appreciated by all who
read it,.
But this mention is to repro
duce from the story one very
significant paragraph:
"This, the first individual to
appear in our Who's Who COL
umn, is the naughty creature
who infests Cactus Center, call
ing himself an editor and issuing
a weekly monstrosity wherein
he lies consistently, but very,
very crudely. He calls the mon
strosity a newspaper; but here
in he is patiently wrong, for lies
are not news. Therefore the
Times is not a newspaper; and
by the same unanswerable logic
James Edward Wilson is not an
editor-only a liar"

How to Save More Gas.

The Nogales office of the
Standard Oil company has re-
Gently received a list of sugges-
tions on methods to save more
gasoline. These suggestions are
recommended by the National
Automobile Chamber of Com
merce and endorsed by the Cali
fornia State Automobile associa-
tion. The rules not only save
more gas but users of motor We
|hicles will be benefited person
ally and Individually through
more efficient and more econom-
ical operation Of cars Here are
the rules:
1. Store gasoline in UNDER
ground steel tanks.
2. Use measuring pump and
hose. They prevent loss by fire,
evaporation and spilling.
5. Don't spill or expose gaso-
lime to ART evaporates rap
idly and is dangerous.
4. Don't use gasoline for
cleaning and washing-use ker-
osene or other materials to cut
grease.
5. Stop all gasoline leakage.
Form habit of shutting off gas
at tank or feed pipe.
6. Adjust brake bands so
they do not drag. See that all
bearings run freely.
Z. Don't let the engine run
when car is standing. 1t is good
for starter battery to be used
frequently.
8. Have carburetors adjusted
at service station of carburetor
or automobile cornpanies-they
will make ordinary adjustments
without charge
9. Keep needle valve clean
and adjust carburetor (while en-
gine is hot) to use as lean mix
ture as possible. A rich mixture
fouls the engine and is waste
full.
10. Pre-heat air entering car
buretor and keep radiator cover
ed in cold weather-this will in
sure better vaporization.
II. See that spark is timed
correctly with engine and drive
with spark fully advanced
late spark increases gas con-
sumption.
II. Have a hot spark, keep
plugs clean and spark points
properly adjusted.
Avoid high speed. The aver
age car is most economical at
Is to Is miles an hour
IA. Don't accelerate and stop
quickly-it wastes gas and
wears out tires. Stop engine
and coast long hills.
Is. Cut down aimless and
needless use of cars. Do num-
ber of errands in one trip.
16 Know your mileage per
gallon. Fill tank full and divide
