A. l.. asks: What can stop the flow
of gasoline from the main tank to
the vacuum tank? The line is clear,
but gasoline does not feed through.
Answer: If the vent hole in the
main tank filler-cap is obstructed the
flow will be prevented. Derangements
of the vacuum tank mechanism will
also do this. if they prevent the
vacuum from being formed. Failure
to seat properly of the '%happer valve"
which connects the two compartments,
will prevent suction from being de-
veloped. Dirt on its seat sometimes
prevents it's action and this can some
times be cleaned off by flushing gaso-
line through it rapidly. the supply be-
ing poured in through the plug hole at
the top. Imperfect seating of the air.
vent valve of the tank will also break
the vacuum and prevent feeding
Leaks in the vacuum line from the
manifold to the tank may also have
similar effect. If cleaning out the
fapper valve does not mend matters
we suggest that you have your tank
and connections overhauled.

Answer: Your battery will gradually

MAY REORGANRE
FEDERAL SYSTEM
Congressional Committee to
Survey Government Execu-
tive Departments Work.

The Senate today passed join reso-
luton providing for the appointment
of a joint committee on the reorgani-
cation Of the executive departments
of the government.
The resolution was reported from
the Senate committee on appropria-
tions by Senator Smoot, who intro
ducad it some days ago. The joint
committee is to be composed OF three
senators and three representatives APP
pointed by the Vice President and the
Speaker. Its duty will be to make a
survey of the administration of the
various departments and bureaus OF
the government. to ascertain where
there is duplication of work and to
report to Congress where regrouping
of bureaus and departments may be
effected with saving to the govern
ment The committee is instructed to
report on or before the second Mon
day in December, 1922.
Senator Smoot made brief state
ment to the Senate urging the pas
sage of the resolution. and declaring
that with the enormous debt now fac
ing the country because of the war
the country no longer can afford to
permit the waste which is due to
departments. Senator Underwood.
the democratic leader, gave his ap-
proval to the resolution.
II do not understand" he said. that
the resolution was introduced by way
of criticising anything that has taken
place recently in the executive de-
partments. or anything in the distant
past" he said. There has been" he
said, "a gradual growth which has re-
suited in the present conflict of au-
thority and in vast duplication of
work in the government. This means
be made to avoid this duplication and
waste" he said.

Endorse and support the Nersallies
treaty and condemn the Lodge res
ervations" the words used by Presi-
dent Wilson in his telegram to the
Oregon democratic chairman, is ac-
cepted by politicians in both parties

last ditch position of the adminlstra-
tion on the league of nations. There
the administration and AL democrats
loyal to the titular head of the demo-
cratic party Will dig in and fight the
national campaign of 1920.
Adherence to the policy thus an
nOunced is to be the teS: of loyalty
TO the party standard rs planted by
its commander-in-chief The Presi-
dents utterance is taken as clear
admonition to the democrats who will
attend the democratic national con-
vention of what is expected of them
by the administration. In it is seen
no equivocation, no dlssimulation.
and compromise is debarred at the
outset.
Repudiates Fl Democrats.
The announcement repudiates the
action of twenty-one democratic SEN
the peace treaty with the Lodge res
ervations. There were other demo-
Gratis in addition who had voted for
reservations at one time or another.
but who chose to stand with the
President against final ratification.
Those democratic senators num-
bered in the twenty-one included
every democrat but one from a north
ern state and four from the south.
The one from northern state was
Senator johnson of South Dakota.
William j. Bryan will oppose the
Presidents demand for an unqualified
treaty. Senator Walsh of Massachu-
setts has announced that New Eng
land democrats will not follow the
President. Georgia democrats have
divided on the subject in the prima-
ries. Texas and Missouri by express
sion in the primaries have overwheim
ingly indorsed the President on a
clear-cut issue.
The best judgment Of democratic
at the Capitol is that the
dc mocratic national convention will
st,nd with the President and in it's
plat tform will Endorse and support the
Versailles treaty and condemn the
Lodge resolutions" They express this
belief, while the opinion is still held
by some of them that such a course
will spell disaster for the party at the
polls.
The alternative course. however.
they point out. would be reputation
of their own President and national
and virtually involve
the selection Of a new leader for the
party. This they shrink from. The

SCHEME REVEALED
f.------- 80.
Products Shipped to Eu-
rope, Then Back to U. S.
% for Sale.

Discovery that foodstuffs Of Ameri-
can origin were shipped to Europe
and are now being shipped back to be
sold in the United States. because Of
higher prices obtainable here. has
been made by inspectors Of the bureau
of chemistry.
This situation is one of the queerest
twists in the food problem observed
to date, and arises from the difference
in the exchange rates between ma
tions, it was declared by officials of
the bureau today.
The fact that American foods. which
include butter. California peaches and
apricots, are making such rapid round
trips does not indicate that the FOODS
country at a larger figure than they
ever could in Europe. it was declared.
Exchange Rates Cause Reshipping.
The fiuctuating rates Of exchange.
it is pointed out. have simply made
it possible for the manufacturers and
shippers to bring the food back to
the United States and sell 1t for more
profit than they could by letting IT
remain abroad to receive the foreign
prices.
officials of the bureau of chemistry
refused to comment on any phase OF
the prices received, or the prices that
the food must bring to pay for it's
travels Quantities of American but
ter have been shipped over there
and then back again. it is admitted
1t is even declared that some food
stuffs have made as many as two
round trips.
No Laws Violated.
Discovery of the reshipment of the
American foods was made by IN
spectors of the food and drug in
spection service of the bureau. Re-
ports of the overseas transactions
have been made to the Department OF
Agriculture. and the facts as to this
international juggling of foods are
known.
AS these shipments do not in any
sense violate any laws. however
which the bureau enforces, 1t Is moi
known exactly what steps can be
taken.
Some of the foodstuffs shipped and

| advantage of the difference in the
rates of exchange naturally suffer q

BRITAIN WILL NAME

Plan for Dominion's Direct
Diplomatic Relations
With U. S. Stated.

Formal announcement of the pur-
pose of the British government to
place Canadian relations with the
United States completely in the hands
of Canada through the appointment
Of Canadian minister plenipotentl-
ary resident in Washington was made
today by the British embassy.
Unusual powers are to be conferred
upon this Canadian minister, for 1t
appears that in the absence OF the
British ambassador the minister will
assume full charge of all imperial
diplomatic relations with the United
States.
Britain Defines Duties.
The text Of the British statement is
as follows:
LAS result Of recent discussions,
between tn eBritish and Canadian
governments to provide more COM
plete representation OF Canadian in
terests at Washington than has
hitherto existed. Accordingly. it has
been agreed that his majesty. on the
advice Of his Canadian ministers, shall
appoint a minister plenipotentiary.
who will have charge OF Canadian af-
fairs and will at all times be the
ordinary channel a;tae s,a,ss 81
in matters of purely Canadian con-
Germ, acting upon instructions from
and reporting direct to the Canadian
government In the absence of the
emba assador the Canadian minister
will take charge Of the whole en-
bassy and of the representation of
imperial as well as Canadian inter-
ests. He will be accredited by his
majesty to the President. with the
necessary powers for the purpose.
Diplomatic Unity.
."This new arrangement will not de-
note any departure either on the part
Of the British government or Of the
Canadian government from the prin-
ciple of the diplomatic unity of the
British empire.
..The need for this important step has
been fully realized by both govern
ments for some time. For a good
many years there has been direct
communication between Ottawa and
Washington, but the constantly in
creasing Importance Of Canadian in
terests in the United States has made
1t apparent that in addition Canada
should be represented there in some
distinctive manner, for this would
doubtless tend to expedite negotia-
tions and, naturally, first-hand ac-
Quaintance with Canadian conditions
would promote good understanding.

CAR TRAFFIC CUT;
REVENUE GROWING
W. R. E. Reports ST. Per Cent
Passenger Reduction.
Larger Returns.

There was a reduction of 91,815 in
the number of pay passengers carried
on the lines of the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company during the
first week of the new rate of fare, ac.
cording to a statement issued today by
William F. Ham. president
The total number Of riders last
week was 1.550.S77. as compared with
1,642.692 during the last week Of April
under the old rate of fare.
This falling off of 81 per cent in
traffic did not come as surprise, as
officials of the company estimated at
the fare hearing that the increase
would result in a per cent reduction
in traffic.
The company reports that twelve out
of every 100 passengers paid the s.
cent cash fare, the others using tokens
at four for 80 cents.
Despite the 81 per cent reduction
in traffic. however, the new fare in
creased the company's passenger rev.
enue 12h per cent over the last week
of April.
Revenue for the first week of the
new fare amounted to $117,589.1O.
During the last week of April it was
S104.50S.43
Mr.. Ham pointed out that while
these figures bear out almost exactly
the estimates of the company, one
week cannot be taken as an indica-
tion as to how the revenue will run
for the year.

TO REPAIR ROADS /;
Engineering Department Gets
Small Sum for Its
Work.

The engineer department Of the Dis
out funds for repairing suburban
roads for several weeks, today has
$4,000 to carry on this work for the
balance Of the fiscal year. The ap-
preparation was carried in the urgent
deficiency bill. signed by the Presi-
dent Saturday.
District officials say, however, that
$4,000 IS not "a drop in the bucket
to the amount that would be neces-
sary to fill up the ruts and holes now
existing in the highways leading out
Of the city.
Effort to Get More Money.
Engineer Commissioner Kutz said
an effort will be made to get another
appropriation to augment this $4,000
In the general deficiency bill. which
probably will be taken up in CON.
gress in about month
wages alone for the balance of the
fiscal year will consume nearly all OF
the $4,000 just appropriated, it was
pointed out. 1t may even be neces-
sary for the engineer department tc
reduce its force for the remainder OF
the fiscal year.
Maj. F. S. Besson, assistant enei.
neer commissioner. said the repai,
gangs would do their utmost with the
small amount now available to uatcf
up the worst stretches of road.
:s35 Miles of Road to Keep Up.
According to Engineer Commission.
er Kutz. the District has 335 miles OF
roadway to maintain. the average cos
of which is now 1915 per mile. The
mileage does not take into considera
tion the fact that on suburban road.
where there are car tracks there is Z
roadway on each side of the tracks tt
keep in repair. The repairs to such
| roads ran as high as $4,000 a mile OF
double roadway in 1919
Officials of the engineer department,
admit that to fill in the ruts in sub.
urban roads with cracked stone ant
tar affords only temporary relief anC
