The close, compact texture of Thermoid, so proc essed, causes 1t to wear down more slowly than ordinary brake liring and evenly, so that it man- tains it's gripping power even when worn to wafer thinness.
 The engineers and manufacturers of so of the leading passenger and trucks have standardized Thernnoid Hydraulic Compressed Brake Lining because it makes their cars safer.

TN single day in New York City alone it is es-
 tnated that there 33 automobile accidents A seriol.s enough to report-accidents which cause injury death. For the entire country the num- Der amounts to 1900 every day.
 At least 10 per cent of these accidents could have been avoided if the brakes had been in good con- dition, and properly applied. That the judgment of various state authorities.
 Brake inspection insures safety It is so simple to be the safe side. Go to your garage man today and have your brakes inspected. Thousands of motorists are making this regular Precauton at sixty day intervals. Possibly simple tightening of the brake rods, or an adjustment of the equalizer is all that is needed to give you safety instead of ever present danger.

,MAPES Conference
WATTS ON SENATE
Congress Expected to Ad-
iourn Before Action on Bill
to Abolish HaIf-and-HaIf.

Chairman Mapes of the House Dis
trict committee said today that the
conferees appointed yesterday by the
poses out-and-out abolition of the
ha1f-and-haf principle of financing
the National Capital as a distinct leg

notification that the Senate conferees
are appointed and ready to discuss
the bill.
Mr.. Mapes intimated that he has no

tion before Congress closes on Satur-
day.
Blanton Insists on Pledge.
The conferees named by the House
are Chairman Mapes and Representa-
tive Ben johnson of Kentucky. former

sentative F'ocht of Pennsylvania. who

Representative Blanton OF Texas for
a time blocked the appointment of
conferees in the House by insisting
upon a pledge that the House be
given another chance to vote on this
proposed abolition
The coming conference is the first
that has ever been held on the ques-
ton of abolishing the half-and-half
principle as a distinct legislative
proposition. All previous attempts
to abolish this old proposition have
been made through amendments in
the House of appropriation measures
and have been rejected by the Senate
as new legislation on appropriation
bills.

The Mapes bill was passed by the
House last January. Besides repeal
ing the present fiscal relationship. it
provides that District expenditures
shall be met out of District revenues
until such District revenues are ex-

in passing the bill last week practi-
cally rewrote the entire measure in

Air photography announces the

forgotten city lying buried In the
neighborhood OF Samarrah. For long
centuries the presence Of this city
came when its detailed outline, with

The city is older than the Christian

FEW ANARCHISTS
| AMONG DEPORTEES
Aliens From Pacific Coast
Mostly Feeble Minded
or Criminals.

NEW YORK, March 20 (by the Asso-
ctated s).-Announcement that sew
eral carloads of alien deportees are on
the way from the Pacific coast to New
York was made today at Ellis Island,
but 1t was explained that they were Or
dinary deportation cases. with only a
few anarchists and no Russians among
them. The train left Portland, Ore,
Thursday and is due here about a week
from tomorrow, as additional deportees
VIII be added to the party at various
immigration stations en- route.
According to Ellis Island officials, most
OF the deportees are aliens, who,, after
being admitted to the country, were
FOUND to be either feeble-minded crimi-
Eais or likely to become public charges.
or otherwise to have violated the immi-
grafton laws. Such arrivals are routine
matters. 1t was explained. and take
place about every six weeks.
No orders have been received at the
island regarding deportation of Rus
slams who were sent there in jan
uary after raids - members of the
communist party. However, some
russians who were at the island
249 to Russia in November have been
released by order OF the Department
of Labor and some as the result of a
court decision that they could no
longer be held in "durance vile" when
1t was impossible to deport them.
Among those released on bond as a
result of this decision was Alexis
Georgian Of Minneapolis, who was the
editor of a newspaper which it was
charged advocated the overthrow OF
the government by violence.
A total of lis Russians who are
charged with advocating the over
throw of the government by force is
now held at the island, either await
ing deportation or the conclusion of
deportation proceedings. In addition
several hundred others who were ar
rested in January raids are out on
bail awaiting the completion Of hear
ings. OF those arrested in January
sixty-seven have been ordered deport-
ed by the Department Of Labor and
the cases of forty-one whose de-
portation was recommended by Ellis
Island inspectors are being reviewed
in Washington. Partial hearings have
been ileld in $50 cases, but the hear
ings are being delayed. according to
officials. by the fact that most Of them
have the same lawyer and by recent
notifications of deportation procedure
made by the Department of Labor.

|DEL|CACY KNOCKED OUT
BY PROHIBITION LAW
During Past Season Terrapin Sup.
ply Slumped More Than rs
Per Cent, Is Report.

BALTIMORE. March 20 (Special).-
One Of Maryland's far-famed deli
cacies has lost it's popularity since
ing to the statement Of dealers in sea
food. before the dry law became oper-
ative they could not obtain sufficient
terrapin from the Chesapeake bay to
supply the demand. During the past
season. however, the business slumped
more than rs per cent. One dealer
said that his terrapin business, which
usually amounted to at least $4,000
a season. was less than $4,000 this
season. f
Leading Caterer Finds No Sale.
Another dealer reported that one of
the city's leading caterers, who In
variably bought $4,000 to $4,000 worth
of terrapin during the social season.
bought only $14 worth this season.
Not only terrapin. but chicken also is
being ordered by restaurateurs in
much smaller quantities, was the
further statement Of dealer catering
to the restaurant trade. The man who
formerly ordered 200 to 800 dozen
dressed chickens week, he said, was
ordering 20 dozen now, and the order
usually was accompanied by the moan
over "the good old days" prior to the
enactment Of prohibition.
Hard Crabs Probably Affected.
1t is predicted that the inability to
secure beer will affect the sale of
hard crabs this summer in the same
manner. Not only are hard crabs
more delectable when accompanied by
beer, it is claimed. but the foaming
amber likewise rendered them more
digestible. Many persons, 1t is said,
Will discontinue eating crabs if beer
is unobtainable, SO firmly intrenched
is the belief that the beverage stimu-
lates digestion.
