|. FIGHT OVER The
ENDLNC0F WAR
TO BE RESUMED
Failure to Ratify Treaty Re,
suits in Voting on
Resolution.

Washington. April 5.-The fight In
congress Yer formal termination of
the war will be renewed this week..
With the failure of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty the house will
vote on a resolution, put forward by
Republicans, declaring the war ended.
There were indications yesterday,
however. that this might result in
further developments in connection
sion to the senate by the president as
the administrations counter move.
The peace resolution is to be
brought before the house on Thursday,
with a rule calling for a vote on Fri
daN.
Republicans believe it's adoption is
assured, while Democrats declare it
will be vetoed by President Wilson,
without prospects sof obtaining a two
tn rds vote to override the veto.
In many we'll informed quarters the
impression is growing that either be-
fore or more probably along with a
veto message the president might re-
turn the treaty to the senate with af-
firmativc expressions regarding reser-
vations. Indeed, il would not surprise
administration spokesman in touch
with the situation should the apresi-
dent return the treaty within d few
days.
Although Democrats plan a. vigorous
fight on the resolution, they virtually
arc without hope of preventing it's
adoption in both house and senate.
This was indicated by Senator Hitch
cock of Nebraska, administration
leader. who returned today from a
vacation in the south. Senator Hitch
cock also differed from views ex-
pressed by Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts. Republican leader, regarding
the length of the senate contest over
the measure.
I believe there will be prolonged
discussion" Senator Hitchcock said.
There are many new and most i'm
portant issues presented in the pro-
posal.'
Senator Hitchcock declined to CON
firm or discuss reports that the presi-
dent was considering return Of the
treaty to'the senate shortly. but indi-
eated that he had been in correspond
tence with the president during his
absence from Washington.

functional, others are organic, and
both of them can be treated by mo-
toring. In a recent case a woman
was taking treatment by a great
specialist for over secretion of the
thyroid glands. The oversecretion
made her extremely nervous and af-
fected almost every organ of the
body. Motoring was recommended
as a means of assisting the scientist
In curing the woman, and in about
one year she not only became well
and required no further treatment,
but she became an expert driver in
the bargain. This, like many cases,
may turn out more satisfactory il
the doctor is permitted to watch and
treat his patient while the motoring
is being used as a means of mind
diversion.
Drive short Distance.
There is one thing about motoring
for health that must be understood,
and that is that il must be prac-
tised judiciously. One cannot ex-
pect to ride 900 continuous miles
in a hard-riding car and get out
thoroughly relieved of all his trou-
bles. If the car is hard riding drive
slowly over good roads. Speed Is
not essential. To make the best of
motoring, one must drive along the
good roads and study the surround
ing landscape. the buildings, If there
are any, perhaps the car you are
riding in, the other cars on the road,
etc. Merely sitting at the wheel and
making an occasional turn on a
lonely road may make the driver
lonely. hence susceptible of think
ing of himself.
Automobile mechanism is easy to
learn and understand: get into dis
cussiops while in the car about ways
and means of promoting safety,
about all matters pertaining to mo-
toring. Continuous driving is bad.
Drive 20 miles or so and then get
out of the car and walk around for
10 or IS minutes, keeping your mind
always either on the car, where you
are going to drive in the next half
hour, and all the hundred things
that come out on short motoring
trip

ing from running solid tires in car
tracks are serious and readily ap-
parent. The construction of solids
does not permit a ready distribution
of part of the load strain to the
rails lower fiange. so the major
portion is carried upon the section
running on the car rail with the re-
suit that 1t is quickly worn and
broken away. The injury Is not
confined to one or two spots on the
tire but extends around the entire
circumference, eventually leaving
tire reduced by one-half to carry
the full load.
Chains too tight-Chains should
be kept loose enough so that they
will work around the tire and pro-
vide an equal distribution of, wear
and strains. Chains should not be
used except when absolutely neces-
sary, as great injury results from
their continued use on pavements or
hard roads.
Damage by Friction.
Out of alignment - Misalignment
of wheels will grid down a solid
tire quickly. Damage is caused by
the continuous friction of the tire
being partly dragged and partly
rolled over the roadway. Regular
inspection prevents this abuse as IL
can be detected easily. the tire be-
ing ground off smoothly and having
sharp corners. A simple inspection
is to parallel the front and rear
axles and measure the distance be-
tween centers. Scaly appearance of
the tread is caused by the hard
jolting resulting from wheel mis-
alignment
Bad roads-Bad roads are OBJ
viously injurious to solid tires as the
tire rests successfully in irregulari-
ties having the effect of overload
ing that particular portion of the
tire. Many truck pilots risk perma-
nent injury to their cushions, as well
as the mechanical parts Of the
mechanical parts of the truck.

C0ALRELIEF
Bring Fuel from Small
Mines Inaccessible to
Railroads.

Further evidence of the country's
increasing dependability on the mo-
tor truck, as a means to increased
production and economical distribu-
tion, is had in the present coal sit
uation. In the movement Of coal
from the mine TO the consumer the
motor truck each year assumes
greater measure of responsibility.
One phase of the problem of coal
transportation is that which centers
about the movement of coal from
what is known as the wagon mine"
to the railroad. While these mines,
in most instances are small. there
are thousands of them throughout
the country and in the aggregate
able factor. The railroads at the
present time In some sections find
it impossible to furnish freight
equipment to mines of this type and
to those without first class loading
facilities.
And that Is exactly where the mo
tor truck bridges the gap. Ten
Nash trucks during the month of
August and fourteen Nash trucks
IN September, for instance, were
sold by one Nash dealer whose ter
ritory includes a number of wagon
mines. Prior to the introduction Of
the Nash truck in this vicinity the
railroads were unable to furnish
cars to be loaded by the slower
process of horse-drawn equipment.
Now, however, they have been set
ting out cars for these mines each
morning with the understanding
that they be loaded the same day,
When it is considered that pro-
duction from wagon mines" in the
State Of Iowa reached 522,122 tons
in 1917 and that in some of the
other heavier coal producing States
wagon mine tonnage was consider
ably heavier. and that the bulk of
this production Is moved from the
mines by some form of transporta-
tion other than. railroads, the i'm
portance of the truck in coal dis
tribution from mines becomes quite
apparent.

More Attention to, Solid Tires
Results in Greater Efficiency of
Motor Trucks, Says Tire Concern

Proper care Of solid truck tires
means more to the truck owner
than increased tire mileage and les
sened tire expense 1t means
greater efficiency on the part of the
truck, fewer mechanical break
downs, and less time in waiting for
repairs.
I The Importance of eliminating
tire abuses is so generally recog-
nized at present that many truck
owners go to great pains to point
out to the drivers the damaging .ef-
feet of various abuses and show
how they can be avoided. Some
even offer bonuses to the drivers
attaining the greatest tire mileage.
The following summary of tire
abuses. prepared by the B. F. Good
rich Rubber Company, shows the
things that a truck driver should
avoid to get maximum tire service.
Although brief. 1t covers the ground
thoroughly. 1t may we'll serve as
the drivers primary textbook on
tire care.
Overlooking - OF AL possible
abuses to solid motor truck tires,
overlooking is the most disastrous.
Tires should be large enough to
take care OF the greatest load the
truck carries, not the average load.
! Distribute Weight.
In loading the truck, care should
be taken to distribute the weight
carefully so that a crushing lever
age which is ruinous. TO the tires
will not be exerted.
Speeding - Heat destroys solid
tires, just like it does pneumatics,
taking the life out OF the rubber.
Heat is generated in the tires by
pounding Of the load and friction
against the roadbed when a truck
is driven at an excess speed, even
If the highway is smooth. Conse-
quently the truck should be driven
sanely to avoid permanent tire in
jury.
Neglected cuts-Cuts in a solid
tire should not be neglected any
more than a cut in the tread of a
pneumatic. Cuts near the edge of
: the tire tend TO enlarge. especially
in a circumferentiaI direction. II
not properly trimmed. the torn rub
Der. or flag" catches as the wheel
revolves and the injury becomes
worse. Neglected cuts have often
developed to such an extent that
they have caught in frogs in car
| tracks and torn off practically the
whole tread. To prevent the con-
tinuation OF a cut on the edge of a
tire, bevel it off with a sharp knife
Sliding Causes Damage.
Skidding-Skidding or locking the
brakes and sliding the wheels
causes serious damage both to the
trucks mechanism and the treads
of the tires. Drivers should be
taught that their trucks will stop
; quicker IL brakes are applied gradu-
ally and firmly than with a Jerk.
Improperly adjusted brakes will
sometimes cause one wheel to lock
resulting in a section of the tire
| being ground or torn off.
| As seon as a truck starts to skid
IT should be steered. If possible, in
the direction Of the skid. Abrup-
turning of corners has the same ef.
feet as skidding. increasing the
strain and wear on the tire.
Car track abuse-Injuries result.
