SENATE PUTS REVENUE !.
BILL AHEAD Of RECESS
Will Not Consent to Formal Ad.
journment Until Measure Has
Been Passed.

There will be no formal recess or
adjournment of Congress, in the opin-
ion of Senate leaders, until the war
revenue bill has been finally passed.
The suggestion that an adjournment
be taken until after the elections in
November. following the passage OF
the revenue bill by the House. met
with no favor in the Senate wing OF
the Capitol.
Senator Martin, democratic leader
said today he believed it was the dis
position Of the Senate to remain on
the job until the revenue bill has been
finally disposed Of. 1t may be possible
time while the Senate finance commit
tee is working on the bill, but no other
vacation is expected.
Plan on Three-Day Recesses.
After the House has passed the reve-
nue. bill it is expected that attempts
will be made to bring about the three
ment to transact no important BUSH
ness until the Senate shall have sent
the bill back to the House. Under
such an arrangement most of the
members could be away for most Of
the time.
With members Of the House PLAN
ming for recess as soon as the reve-
lnue bill had been disposed Of, so that
they may participate in the coming
congressional campaign, Representa-
| tive Walsh Of Massachusetts. repub-
lican. threw down the gauntlet today
that legislation on the House calen-
dar must be attended to.
| This question came up when plans
| were being made for night session
Friday night to consider bills on the
unanimous consent calendar Repre-
| sentative Brunette Of Alabama, was
! endeavoring to have this date set and
Representative Walsh said that moth
ing should be allowed to interfere

Looks for General Exodus.
| Representative Brunette suggested
that as soon as that was disposed of
! there would be a general exodus from
| Washington. Representative Walsh

of passing the bills on the House
calendar. I suppose we will have

/ members that there will be no I'M
animous consent for any such ar
rangement.'

Partial Payment Plan.

Members of the District Bankers
Association this morning received the
ed to consider the best plan for the
handling and recording of INSTALL
ment purchases of fourth liberty loan
bonds in denominations of $50 and
500 subscriptions.
This report will be considered at
the adjourned meeting called for

1t is proposed to form. for the pur-
pose of maintaining and operating
the plan proposed, the liberty bond
alliance of the Bankers Association

The proposed plan contemplates

and other help as needed: that coupon
books be used providing for nine

chase. being $50 or 500. original pay
ment to be made when the purchaser
gives order. the latter to retain the
coupon book, the signature card being
or otherwise; returns must be made
Of sales. with cards and coupons, to
the central ONCE.
The Baltimore plan is that the bur-
den Of bookkeeping falls on the GEN.

liberty to keep its own accounts and
banks are supposed to keep an Ac-
count with the central Office. show
ing amount deposited each day.
Lost books are provided for in Bal
timore by reporting to the central Of
nee, where future payments are made
and temporary receipts issued, and a
duplicate book, less paid coupons is
sued.
Credit will be given to banks for
subscriptions taken. while subscrip-
tions taken through outside agencies
will be prorated on subscriptions

posed against each subscriber on the

to which it was screwed. Suitable
wooden blocks were fastened to the
body for the hinge and lock, these
parts being purchased at a cost of
60 cents. Instead of having the door
hinged forward, the hinge was placed
at the rear. Metal fasteners were
made for each door and these secured
as door hooks. These fasteners hold
the doors open about three inches, and
when driving, a stream of cool air en-
tiers the front-opening door, passing
out at the opposite side. This change,

IMPRESSED BY MoToRTRUcK
Farmers Could Not Help but See Value
of Machines as They Carried
Immense Loads.

Farmers In nearly all parts Of the
United States have had impressed
upon them the value of the motor
truck for farm work. The railroad
congestion and the shortage of rail-
road equipment made 1t particularly
necessary during the past five or six
months to send new trucks overland
from the factories and to handle large
quantities of freight, such as or
dinarily would have been handled
by the railroads, by using motortrucks
These conditions took the trucks
out into the farming districts in great
or numbers and with greater fire.
quency than aver before. Farmers
saw them hauling immense loads on
the paved roads and on the ordinary
roads Of the country and could not
help being impressed.

PRIVATE GARAGE
IS INEXPENSIVE
Motor Life Gives Illuminating Aid
to Car Owners in ConstruG-
tion of Building.
Sand FLOOR IS PREFERRED
Grease, Gasoline and Water Are Abb
sorbed Instead of Staying to Mess
Things Up-Much Easier on
Tires of Standing Cars.

A new department has been started
In Motor Life. In it the motorist finds
practical experience to guide him in
building the inexpensive private gar
age, with comprehensive plans and
notes.
Some of the advice is Illuminating:
"If you prefer you may have a cement
foor in the garage, but for several
years past 1 have used fine white sand
about three inches deep. The cost is
about 81 or So a cubic yard and three
yards will be ample for your needs.
Grease, gasoline and water are abb
sorbed instead of staying to mess
things up. Occasionally you rake the
floor to bring the clean sand to the
top. A little heap at the far end
makes a most convenient bumper and
lessons the chances of banging into
the rear wall, I've found. Finally,
sand is far easier than cement on the
tires of standing cars. The shoe is
not flattened out at the point of con-
tact but makes a slight bed for itself
to keep Its normal shape. This is
really a very important point, espe-
cially for folk who lay up their cars
for a long time.
Wash Car In Comfort.
"By all means have a hydrant just
inside your garage, then in severe or
stormy weather you can wash the car
in some sort of comfort. Most folk
would advise an underground gasoline
tank too, but that depends on circum-
stances. Since the early part Of the
winter 1 have not been able to get
gasoline in any quantity. The few
gallons / did manage to bring home
barely sufficed to run my pumping en-
CINE and small electric-light plant. A
large underground tank would have
been a useless investment. Anyway,
like most country folk, I have a little
oil house to hold kerosene, gasoline
and lubricating oils. This house is
about six feet square, is covered with
corrugated iron and stands at a safe
distance from all other buildings. On
a small suburban or city lot this sort
of thing could not be built and q little
underground tank is almost a neces-
sity.
Heat Not Necessary.
Naturally, 1t is out of the question
to heat such a garage as this, but /
fancy mighty few garages will be
heated next winter. 1t makes little
difference, after all, for n mixture of
n part wood alcohol to two parts
water will stay liquid under any ordi-
nary temperature. And cylinders
primed with ether will fire at the first
turnover, no matter how cold"
