GETTING OUT OF
MUD HOLES
Suggestions to.Motorists When They

The United States Tire Company,
in its endeavor to furnish the public
with as much real help as possible,
mas this to say about getting car
out OF q mudhole:
''There will always be mudholcs
The moto-lst has the power nowadays
to go practically where he pleases
and he frcouents the highways and
the byways, with d leaning towards
the byways, if he be anxious to get
away from the beaten path. In
doing this there are times when he
will get stalled. Putting the car into
low gear end then feeding it gaso-
line as though it did not cost over d
cent a gallol: will not get the car out,
if it is stalled badly. The wheels
revolve so rapidly that they do not
get traction enough-they do not
have an opportunity to catch hold
The only apparent result is getting
the tires so warm one can scarcely
touch them, and in addition wearing.
them badly.
"Try tn: method: Put the car in
low, and if you cannot feed the gas
with your foot evenly, so that the
wheels will revolve slowly, put your
emergency brake on. Do not put it
on so that the wheels will not re-
volve at all, but tightly enough to
keep them from revolving rapidly
With the wheels turning slowly you
thus get the maximum pull delivered
; to them by having the car in low
gear, and So long as they turn slowly
they can get the benefit of their ire

hard on the tire Small branchc,

more tractive space
SHOULD this method fail quite
often a Slight push that would no
much more than move a baby bugg,
will furnish just the added amour
Of power necessary to get the ca
going. Those who have tried thi

WHERE CHILDREN
ARE TOO OPULENT
National Capital Has Labor Prob
lem that is Different from the
Usual Menace to the Young

Washington's child labor problem
is rather unusual-it is not problem
of underpaid and poorly fed children
toiling in factories, but of well-fed
and overpaid boys and girls doing
light work. They have plenty of
money, and the problem is therefore
to proven. them from spending it
foolishly or in ways that will injure
them.
To some extent the problem is not
peculiar to Washington, for almost
everywhere boys and girls are able
to make more money than they have
ever made before. But in Washing
ton the jobs are for messenger SER
vice or light clerical work for the Gov
eminent, and the young people do not
realize how much they are getting
for the work they do.
At the recommendation of sub
committee for the children's year acm-
paign, it is possible that a juvenile
police force may be established to aid
in the supervision of these boys and
girls who are receiving pay that or
dinarily men are glad to get.

BY THE CITY COUNCIL

the withdrawal of the discount of
prompt payment which had been in
force. He also mentioned the fac that
consumers of ice claim that they do
not get the proper weight in many
cases. These were matters. Mr.. Bra
dy said. which would properly come
before the new commit ee.
The motion was seconded by Al
derman Charles Smith. who spoke of
other matters affecting citizens of the
city. He called attention TO the fact
that a charge of SIS was now made
by the Public Utilities Commission for
tapping the gas main for a new con-
sumer. He also stated tina. there was
great nuisance in connection with
lights in different parts of the city
going out frequently. Alderman Smith
and others said that the Utilities Com
pany treated complaints with indif-
ference. Alderman Adams called at
tention to the poor quality of milk
furnished by some dealers and the
high charge for it.
The Mayor appointed Counselor
Brady and Alderman Russell and
Beavins members of the new COM
mittee.
Alderman Beavins asked the Mayor
why the order of the Council direct
ing the Water Board, to divide is de-
posits among the three banks of the
city had not been carried out. The
Mayor said that the Wa ,er Board had
received no communication on the
subject from City Clerk Tydings, and
added that the latter had been quite
sick though he stuck to his work. AL
derman Beavins urged very strongly
that the Water Board had treated the
wishes of the Council with lack Of
consideration in this mater.
During the session, reference was
made to the purchase of the new auto
fire engine for the city, to be used by
the Independent Fire Company. l.
has been ordered from the American
La France Fire Engine Company, of
Elmira, n. Y, and will cost $10,500.
One-third of the cost will be borne
by the fire company, and the balance
by the city. Delivery is expected in
about six months.

NEW SUGAR ORDER
EFFECTIVE TODAY
Regulations Requiring Sugar to be
Sold Only Semi Monthly

New regulations, TO become effective
today, will require the consumer 10
buy his allotment of sugar every If
teen days or semi-monthly. instead of
weekly as at present. according to a
new ruling of the United States Food
Administration.
The new order will prohibit per-
son obtaining more than two pounds
Of sugar a month and the result in
the saving of approximately 100000
900 pounds year. il is announced.
Many people" says the announce
ment. were unconsciously breaking
the regulation regarding the distribu-
ton of sugar by purchasing their SUI
gar on the basis of one half pound per
capita per week. On this basis OF four
weeks to the month there would be
only forty-eight weeks TO the year. or
three hundred and thirty-six days.
This would leave twenty-nine days
or practically another month. during
which sugar would be consumed on a
basis of two pounds per capita. With
population of 100.000.e00 this would
require about an additional 100000,
900 pounds of sugar.
