D'AnnunZiO Asks
Nitti to Settle
Fiume Questions
Premier Should Reach Adj
justment Between Govt.
and Opposition Before
Going to London, He Says

ROME, Dec. 27.-Gabriele d'Annun-
zio is understood to have asked Pre-
mier Nitti to postpone the visit which,
it was announced semi officially yester-
day, the Premier would make to Lon
don to seek an understanding with
Premier Lloyd George on Italian prob
lens before returning to Paris for the
inter-Allied conference. 1t is said Dan
nunzio held that the Premier's depart
ure should be preceded by the reaching
of definite settlement of the Fiume
controversy between D,Annunzio and
the Italian government.
Lieutenant Commander Rizzo, COM
mander of the Fiuman navy; Major
Glurlati, chief of D'Annunzio's Cabinet
and other leaders associated with the
poet-aviator are said to have left the
Fiume district.
"Signor Nitti hopes to obtain from
England financial treatment similar to
that granted to France, especially rela-
tive TO a loan which will have its in
fuence upon the exchange situation.' -
the "Corriere d'Italia" says. "The Pre-
mier will do his best to have the Su-
preme Council agree that the Allied
and associated governments will recog-
nize ltaly's sovereignty over Italian
towns, first of all Fiume, and that they
will accept the result of negotiations
between Italy and Jugo-Slavia. This
system, besides guaranteeing our
rights and preventing their violation
by other peoples, would have the addi

tional advantage of bringing about the
approach of the two peoples. Recip-
rocal concessions would be necessary,
and the accord which would be reached
would be accompanied by closer friend
ship, which Jugo-Slavia must desire
even more than Italy"
at is fated that the drama Of Fiume
would end as a grotesque operetta,"
the "Corriere" says, in commenting
upon the Adriatic situation. "The most
authoritative companions of Captain
d'Annunzio in his adventure are aban-
doning him in his dream Of acting the
little tyrant of the fourteenth century.
He does not realize the situation, how
ever, but dresses himself as corporal
of storm troops and plays the king
among the soldiers, Indifferent to the
opposition Of all Fiume and all Italy.
Everybody agrees to-day in depicting
DAnnunzio as naughty. dangerous
boy lighting fire next powder maga-
zine. Who has supplied him with Ma
tionalist matches, and is there no one
to lead that bad boy away by the ears 2"
"The Adriatic Sea will be the abode
Of civilization and peace when Fume
becomes Italian" says the newly elected
Deputy Sembenell in an inter-
view printed in the "Giornale dItalia."
"Inere is no other solution except a
peace dangerous to the world. After
Bolshevism, civilization today is thre st-
ened by impulsive Slav preponderance.
The Mediterranean must have its dixie,
which is represented by the Dinaric
Alps forming the frontier of Dal-
malta and Bosnia), Fiume must be
annexed without restrictions to Italy.
Let Premier Nitti beware of continuing
the policy of a bcggar and jeremiah.
The only way to earn credit abroad is
to be firm in our will"

Grain Co.'s License Revoked
Food Administration Forbids
Lawton Concern to Do Business

The power Of the Cereal Division
of the United States Food Administra-
ton to revoke the licenses of grain
and cereal dealers was invoked yes
terday against the Lawton Grain Com
pany. a concern with fifteen branches
and with a main Office in Lawton,
Okla. The revocation, made by
julius r. Barnes, chief Of the Cereal
Division, prohibits the Lawton Com
pany from doing business.
The reason given for the full revo-
cation of it's license is the failure Of
the company to appear before or to
send testimony to a board appointed
to hear charges of violations Of the
Food Administration regulations by
the concern. The Lawton Company
was asked to explain violations of its
license terms in failing properly to re-
fleet the guarantee price of wheat to
producers; failure to furnish informa-
tion to Mr.. Pazzek; failure to make
refunds to producers as ordered and
failure to keep proper records Of
wheat transactions.

AIRPLANE STRUCK MOTOR CAR

An airplane, travelling from Chicago to Denver, collided with a motor car in Omaha the other day.
 The motor car was on the crest of a hill The Canadian Curtiss airplane dipped so close to the earth that the two bumped, slightly damaging the motor car, partially wrecking the air plane and injuring one of the aviators.
 The aviators are Lieut.. c. P. Muel- Ter of San Antonio, Tex, and Ensign Harold Johnson, of Denver.
 Johnson's father recently purchased fifteen planes to retail in Denver and the shipment was so slow that the two young men went to Chicago, assem- bled one of them and proceeded to beat the time made by freight,
 The motor car driver went out to watch the plane rise. He had stopped his machine and as he saw the air plane coming toward him he got out and jumped to the side of the road.
 The plane took the top off the coupe and damaged one wing of the air plane. A mechanic fixed the airplane and it continued to Denver.
 The aviators had stopped in Omaha for the night. The next morning they started to continue their journey.
 The pilot had trouble in getting the plane off the ground and as it passed over the hill it made sudden dip, colliding with the car.

LIFE OF A TRACTOR DEPENDS ON CARE
 THAT IS GIVEN IT

The amount of service which a tractor will perform before it must be replaced is obviously an important factor in determining its value for farm work. The United States de- partment of agriculture has given serious study to this problem, and while it can not give any official fig ures that are definite, as to the life of the tractor, it gives an average esti- mate of seven, eight to ten years.
 Of course, the factors that influence the amount of service rendered by any given machine are, first and foremost, the care that it received at the hands of the operator, then the quality of the outfit, the kind of work for,which 1t is used, the service rendered by the organization that builds it and the skill with which it is designed and constructed.
 Nearly all tractors are used under conditions which are extremely severe for any kind of a machine. They travel over rough and uneven ground and are subjected to severe shocks both from Instructions in the path and from the load being pulled. They work in an almost constant shower of dust and dirt, which is extremely hard on the wearing parts of the machines.

GOING EASY ON MOTORISTS

PITMAN, N. J., June 24.-Speed traps are being discarded, and Thank you, come again" signs are now being towns, which have decided to adopt new policy toward motorists. Beck. less drivers and speed fiends will be nabbed by other methods than speed traps, which the authorities have now found netted more drivers who had no intention of breaking traffic laws than real offenders, whose reckless driving endangered pedestrians and other vehicles.
 Borough officials here have made a move to welcome all motorists. They say that this is not taken to mean that all bars will be let down and speeding will be permitted, but the motorists are not to be harried as a class. Council has halted the tagging of cars on the streets where drivers have forgotten to turn on all their lights, or where they have parked their cars improperly, but has in structed the police first to advise the car owners of these infractions of the regulations instead of haling them be- fore a squire for fines.
 Some of the other towns in South Jersey have also announced wide leni- ency toward motorists because they discovered that most of the fines have fallen upon the farmers of their own neighborhoods instead of upon city motorists. One large center in rural county in lower Jersey enforced the light and parking rules so rigidly that several farmers were fined every time they drove to town to do their Sat urday night shopping. The result was that more than a hundred farmers got together and boycotted the town, going to another place to do their shopping.

AUTOMOBILE NEWS
EXPERTS ADVISE US
 KEEP TIRES FILLED UP

It is customary among automobfi- : ists when they pump air into a wheel which is jacked up not to pump up to the required pressure, but to allow few founds for the weight which will come on the tire when the jack is removed.
 This is bad practice, says an expert from the United States Tire Co.'s laboratories, for careful experiments show that the weight of the car on the tire does not add even a fraction of a pound to the air pressure inside tire. Consequently, the United States Tire Co. advises motorists to initiate their tires to the recommended pressure, whether the wheel is lacked up or not.
 While on the subject of imitation, motorists should again be warned that the notion which has gained wide be- lief among automobilists that the heat of a summer day expands the air in- side tire to such an extent that the tires do not need to be blown up to the same point as in winter, is an utter fallacy. Experiments show that it takes terrific driving for con siderable period in such race as that at the Indianapolis speedway, to gen. crate enough heat to raise the air pressure in a tire five or six pounds. The expansion in car driven at an ordinary rate on hot summer day is so slight that no allowance should be made for it when the tire is pump ed up.
 Motorists would do we'll in hot weather to test the air pressure in their tires every few days to see that the leakage of air has not reduced the pressure to the point where the tire will suffer harm.

Senator Harding of Ohio was speak ing about patriotism. We hear d great deal of talk about it, but I'm afraid in a great many cases these so- called patriots are very much like the young lady who was entertaining her beau, back home on furlough.

AUTO ROAD TO TOP OF
 FRISCOPEAKS IS MOVING

J. w. Weatherford has been in Flagstaff from Phoenix the past week figuring with contractors as to the cost of the scenic road from Flagstaff to the top of the San Francisco peaks. MT. Weatherford has a right-of-way for the road secured from the gov ernment two or three years ago; but, owing to the war and other economic conditions, postponed the commence ment of the enterprise. He feels that it is is a good time now to start things going.
 An auto road on good grade to the top of the peaks would be big drawing card for tourists, and trip that few tourists coming through the country would not take.
 The view from this point--some 13,O0O feet above sea level-could not be surpassed in the whole Southwest. It would bring to the eye at least four different states, wonderful pan oramic view of the famous painted desert off to the northeast, the Grand Canyon and a sweep of country so vast that it would almost take one breath away.
 AS a matter of fact very few old residents of this section of Arizona have made this trip and they do not fully realize the magnificence and scenic value of this sky-high vantage point. It is second only to trip in an airplane, and is a project which should be heartily endorsed by local people.

RUNNING DOWN A BAD
 OLD MEXICAN BANDIT

MATAMORAS, Mexico, June 24.- Antonio Rocha, the Mexican bandit leader, who is alleged to have been chiefly responsible for the carnival of crime that was carried on for several months in the lower Rio Grande Dor der region three years ago and who continued to be a disturbing element on the American side of the river until he was captured, was shot and killed recently by Mexican soldier at Key nosa while attempting to escape.
 Rocha was daredevil brigand. He seemed to be absolutely devoid of fear. For more than six months he led several hundred armed citizens, United States troops and Texas ran gers merry chase through the chap arral covered territory opposite Mata, moras. Rocha and his band raided farms and ranches, murdering many Americans and committing all sorts of depredations.
 Whenever Rocha became very hard pressed he fled to the Mexican side of the river, where he was given pro lection by friends. When the troubles were finally quieted down Rocha and Y feUTO fdlZ, Ole Ui i1s ucueS'' lived openly for time in Matamoras. With change of administration they were forced to again go into hiding to prevent arrest and extradition to Texas to stand trial for their crimes.
 It came to the knowledge of the au- thorities here a short time ago that the two men were living in Matamo- ras. They were hunted down and ar reseted, and held, pending their trans fer to Brownsville. Sheriff w.. T.. Vann obtained the necessary extradl- tion papers and prepared to take the prisoners in hand, It was feared the bandits would meet with mob violence if they were taken across the river to Brownsville, at the ferry here, so they were conveyed to Reynosa for the pur- pose of crossing to Hidalgo, Tex An escort of Mexican soldiers accom- panied them. When Reynosa was reached Rocha turned to one or the guards and said:
 'T had rather die in Mexico than m the United States" and with that re. mark he pulled a. knife and lunged at the soldier.
 The guard avoided the knife and shot Rocha in the head, killing him instantly. k, , Rocha's record is one of the blood | fest in the history of the entire border country.

In the rare cases where the carbu- retor catches fire because of back fire the conflagration may be extin- guished by turning off the gasoline and then racing the engine. In this way the engine sucks the flaming liquid out of the carburetor and SC the fire dies out of itself.
