A specially constructed steering

former Mt. Vernon boys.

The special steering wheel was
manufactured by the Al!erding COM

brother, Louis Chevrolet. The wheel
was constructed on three pieces. OF
highly nickeled flexible steel, four
arms holding the rim. and the whole
fastened to the hub. Thus the wheel
was light, and while the driver had
perfect control in u rotary motion, the
wheel gave with every movement of

BRYAN FAVORs AN
INVESTIGATING BOARD

by Associated Press to The Bannerl
WASHINGTON, June 2-W. ]. Bry-
an, appearing yesterday before the
senate labor committee, urged crea-
tion of a permanent tribunal Of inves-
tigation for the adjustment of labor
controversies. The committee is con-
sidering legislation to carry out rec
concentrations Of the second industri-
al conference.
Mr.. Bryan said he suggested this
tribunal as substitute for the pro-
posai to establish a federal industrial
court similar to that in Kansas. I'm
der Mr.. Bryan's plan the tribunal
would have no power to enforce its
findings, but would leave the parties
to the controversy full freedom of ac-
tion after their case had been fully
investigated. The only agency for
enforcement, he said, would be public
opinion.
Mr.. Bryan declared his opposition
to the industrial court was because
it was essentially a court of arbitra-
ton, and arbitration, he said, was not
always practicable.

The resolution will be sent to the

decisive majority as the measure
was given in the senate.
In the debate yesterday, the Demo-

speech concerning the accomplish
ments of his committee up TO date.
He stated that the task of the COM
mittee thus far had been carrying
through the flood prevention program
as far as possible. He said that the
committeeman were delighted with
the success they had chiefly because
it brought forth the praise of the ma
jority of the progressive citizens of
the city. The second great project of
this committee, according to the chair
man, was the building up of perma-
nent program for making the city a
place of beauty.
In his address Father Mulhane said
that the problem of good municipal
government was one of the great ques
tions Of the present time. Good gov.
ernment in any city is the result of
the interest taken in it by the citi-
Zens. One of the greatest evils of
the day, which we see because of bad
municipal government procedure, is
the indifference manifested in things
by the average citizen. This indiffer-
ence which manifests itself in the
the common expression of Let George
do it," is one of the prime evils among
the American people," said Rev. Null
hane.
He said that cities of the size of
Mt. Vernon were apt to be very dirty
cities because of their inability to get
money enough to keep them clean.
The streets will be filed with mud
and dust The alleys will be lined
with piles of ashes and tin cans. The
atmosphere of every crowded corner
will be tainted with the perfume of
the garbage pile. These conditions
prevail somewhat in Mt. Vernon. as
people travelling the railways see
much of the worst and none of the
best of the city as they pass. When
corrected the law should provide for
the cleaning of all the alleys.
Card pledges have been successful
in many cities according to Rev. Mul.
hane. Each citizen is asked to sign
a card stating that he promises to
keep the environs of his property
clean and neat, If he fails then his
mind is recalled to his pledge by the
officer of the city presenting him with
the card. mt, Vernon may not be
destined to become one of the largest
cities in the country, but it can be-
come one of the most comely. Come
liness should be. our IDEAL" he declar-
| ed.

hane, sis very much like the sheep in

society like the chamber of commerce

ference and create live enthusiasm"

izations like the Boy Scouts to get out
and clean up the parks and public
places The same leadership will cause
