Defeated in Upper
House.

The Senate yesterday struck out the
Borland amendment for an eight-hour
day with no extra pay for govern
ment clerks and passed the legislative.

bill granting an increase Of $40 a
year to clerks receiving salaries up to
$500 a year.
Under the House bill the increases
stopped at the 5000 mark. Employees
paid from lump sum appropriations.
as the bill finally passed, Will receive
the s120 increase except in the case
of those paid from lump sum apcro-
priations in the various bureaus and
agencies in the government, estao-
lished since January. 1915.
The entire bill carries S70.00O,OO0 and
was passed without roll call.
Because war workers coming to
Washington since January, 1916, are
being paid more than the usual en-
trance salaries. they were not in
cluded in the increases.
Senator Townsend, of Michigan. a
few minutes before the bill passed.
remarked that the profiteering spirit
was more manifest in Washington
than anywhere else anu uecidreu hAiu-
self in favor of giving an even bigger
sncrease to the clerks than was car
rted by the bill, but hoped that the
Increase as 1t was would not be alb
sorbed Immediately by the landlords.
He also spoke of the widespread
notice alleged to have been given OF
a proposed increase in rentals May
/ and said that this increase was not
warranted by the advancing expenses
of property holders. He said that
patriotism and sacrifice are demanded
by the people Of the District as well
as those from the outside.
Increases in salaries OF government
clerks. including the amount carried
in the Postoffice appropriations bill
and other measures, will amount to
S5.ooo.Ooo during the fiscal year OF
1913, more than during 1917. Senator

GOODRICH co. NAILS
RECENT HUN LIES
Shows How German PrOpa-
ganda Has Tried to Start
Something.

A new brand OF German propaganda
has come to light. II Is directed against
the automobile industry. number OF
alarming and malicious stories have
broken loose simultaneously In dozen
or more Of the large cities. The pur-
pose OF all OF them has been the same
and that is to alarm the motoring public
as to the future Of the motor car.
one story that has been industrlously
circulated was that there would be Sc
rious shortage of tires as a result of the
embargo on crude rubber That this
report is unfounded is proved by the
following information offered by the b.
+. Goodrich Rubber Company Backed
up by Great Britain. Uncle sam has
promised the rubber trade in America
100. 900 tons of overseas rubber this
year. Last year American manufac-
turers used $1,000 tons more than 100, 200.
IT Is estimated the reserve stock on
hand in America the first of the year
amounted to 10000 tons, so added to the
100000 tons guaranteed her America is
really better fixed now than last year.
Another Hun lie was to the effect that
beginning July / to save gasolene the
Government would order the dlscontn-
uance OF passenger cars on Sunday for
"A period of twelve continuous Sundays
| There is no shortage of gasolene yet In
this county. and the Government so
far as we know is not contemplating
any action of an alarming nature along
| this line.
Probably the most harmful propa-
sanda now in circulation is: Keep the
heavy trucks off the highways; they are
destroying them" This story spread 80
quickly and so widely in one Eastern
state that the State Legislature actually
almost passed n law forbidding heavy
trucks on its highways. and probably
| would have done so but for the vigil
lance of motor truck owners.
To Say that roads are bad because
motor trucks have been passing over
them Is simply a confession that the
roads are not properly built and main
tanned In survey recently completed
by the Goodrich national touring bureau
1t was found that ii is possible to build
roads which will stand up under the
hea West motor traffic. Such roads exist
to-day and have for several years in the
State of Connecticut.

WAR IS MOTOR LABORATORY.
National Co. Gets Many Pointers
From battlefield.

American automobile manufacturers
who are supplying cars for our army In
France already arg receiving orders for
replacement parts. The National com
pany recently sent three carloads of
parts to France, for some of the 200
touring National sedans being used by
American officers have been damaged by
shells, while bodies. windshields and
tenders have been smashed in road col
lisions.
There is no more exacting test Of au-
tomobile efficiency and stamina than the
test OF war; and on the battlefelds of
France changes in design and construc-
ton MAY be suggested that will make
the National of the future an even bet
ter car than 1t is to-day.
In fact the National engineers are
justified In regarding battle swept
France as a laboratory, Just as they for
merly put their creations to the acid test
on the Indianapolis Speedway and the
various road racing courses in their
ceaseless quest for automobile perfec-
ton.
