ECONOMY OF COLE IN HE BALANCE Tire Mileage and Power Are Combined In the
 Aero-Eight

The Cole Aero Eight often referred to by it's sponsors as a "car of op- posite, has most log;cal claim to that dlstinction, according to enthusia stic owners.
 Not only does it set an entirely new VoSue in design, they point out, but it establishes new precedents for per formance and at the same time creates new standards in economy
 For example, the Aero Eight motor develops S0-horse- power, yet it's fuel demands are surprisingly low. The car weighs but $500 pounds, yet it pos sesses stamina and strength sufficient to meet every demand. The fact that 1t is capable of 15,000 miles on tires is further evidence that il occupied an individual place in the larger car class.
 The ability of the Cole Aero Eight to combine such unusual tire mileage and remarkable economy with an abun- dance of power and a wider range of performance is attributed primarily to its zero" balance. All units, designed to work in perfect harmony with one another, are distributed in such man. ner as to obtain this perfect balance. The work is apportioned evenly, no single part being subjected to greater strain than other. Thus the wear and tear on the entire car is reduced to a minimum.
 The balance is carried out not in the chassis, but in the body of the car the weight being equally distributed upon the specially designed frame.
 It is this perfect balance that enables the Aero-Eight to ride the road with the same even keef that an aeroplano maintains in flight

Rail transportation for the ,rip would have been SIP had all the towns been accessible but as some would have had to be covered by either motor car or horse and buggy the cost would have been considerably morc.
 Rail schedules show that the trip wuold have taken six days if the steam lines had been used, so the hotel bill was cut in half. the same as the salary of the salesman.

EXTRAS

IS CALLED HOLD-UP
Tenant Squawks to Rent
Board and New Drive
Begins.
IS CALLED HOLD-UP

Apparently not satisfied with the
exhorbitant rentals they are already
receiving for their properties, GER
tain Washington landlords have
started a "hold-up game" in the
opinion OF the District rent COM
mission, in an attempt to wiring every
last cent from the pockets of their
tenants by the charging of extras
"Ten cents extra for the use of
hot water in the taking Of bath"
That's the latest and adds a new
wrinkle to the rent situation In
this city. 1t was bitterly denounced
by the rent commission this morn
ing.
The tenant who made the COM
plant declared that he was already
being overcharged for his place.
He stated that his landlord gave
the increased price of coal as an
excuse for charging extra for hot
water.
While this Is the star extra
charge" complaint. the commission
recently has been flooded with pro-
tests against the charging of ex-
tras for telephone service. Many
tenants declare that they should
have a free service in view OF the
excessive rents they are paying.
One tenant told the commission
yesterday that she was charged
$3.50 for her telephone service last
month, when she declares she only
used the telephone for fifteen local
calls.
Tenants declare that these hold
UP games are practiced by land
lords to get salaries to pay the
telephone operators and other en-
ployes about rental properties.
The District rent commission
will leave no stone unturned to
ferrctt out all complaints of this
nature. Such practices have spur
red on the work OF the commission

CLERKSA|DE
Income Tax Branch Gives Jobs
To Workers Released by
Other Departments.

MilliOnaiTes and others who pay
excess pronts taxes may have a poor
opinion Of Internal Revenue Bureau
officials, but nearly 200 dismissed
employees from the War Department
insist that Commissioners williams
and Hurrey, and Acting Appointment
Clerk Il. B. Brown are the finest men
in official Washington today.
Why? Simply because these en-
ployes were given positions today in
the Internal Revenue Bureau TO assist
on income tax work.
Since the work OF cutting down the
clerical forces in the War. Navy and
other departments in Washington
began, more than 10000 war workers.
most OF them women, have been sep
nrated from the service. However
more than 5000 of these workers
have obtained positions with the In
ternal Revenue Bureau here.
Mr.. Brown, who is Acting Appoint
ment Clerk in Mr.. Paurs absence. had
the busiest day OF his career today
In examining about 100 applicants
for clerical positions, who were sent
to the Internal Revenue Bureau from
other departments. In the corridors
OF the Treasury Building, a loLs line
OF applicants awaited their turns.
While other departments are still
following the policy OF reducing
their clerical forces, the Internal
Revenue Bureau probably is the only
department which is increasing it's
clerical force.

New Headquarters.

The District of Columbia will take
on more of a campaign aspect than
heretofore with the opening today OF

ment of their new headquarters, Re-
pubIicans in the District celebrated
Constitution Day yesterday with two
large rallies. One for women was
held in the afternoon at the home of
Mrs. John A. Logan, and the other
sonic Temple.
A stirring appeal was made by Sen
ator Thomas c. Sterling not to de-
sert the Instrument upon which our
nationality is founded for hasty ana
unguarded entrance into super
state.
The speaker scored the Administra-
ton for wild recklesness in its be-
lated preparation for war. calling at
tention to the fact that one expensive
copper branding iron had been bought
for every two horses and three sad
dies for every horse and mule.
Hannis Taylor was the principal
speaker at the women's rally, and his
topic was The Constitution. In the
absence of Chairman w. T. Galliher,

REVISED
PENSION LAW
Federal Employees Will Ask Con-
gress to Amend Retire
ment Bill.

The National Federation OF Federal
Employees today launched a campaign
for a more satisfactory retirement
law 70 be procured by revision or
or amendments TO, the Sterling
Lehlbach law.
Amendments proposed by the union
follow:
The retirement of an employe on %
per cent OF the average salary OF the
employe for the last ten years pre-
ceding retirement. instead OF 90 per
cent OF the salary at retirement.
The retirement of employees after 3o
years Of service regardless of age.
The extension OF retirement to un-
CLASSIFIED employees.
Employees in the most hazardous
than those in other positions.
Although Government employees bat
tied for more than twenty years to
get retirement. they feel they have an
Inadequate law In the Sterling
Lehlbach measure, which has been
viewed as especially undesirable be-
cause OF the high age limits.
This has been one OF the chief OBJ
jections to the retirement measure
and is a feature which has made II
unattractive to employees. 1t is de-
clared. Every effort will be made
during the sessions of the next Con-
gress TO have the law amended,
especially In the respect of age.
While employees were generally
gratified in the passage of the retire
ment law, because 1t established the
principle of the government recogniz'
ing retirement, they feel there Is
ample room for improvement.
At the fourth annual convention OF
the National Federation of Federal
Employees. which has just come to a
close. the organization gave its unan-
imous approval to campaign to
procure better retirement laws.
President Luther c. Steward was
given wide scope to deal with the
measure and he declared this morn
ing an intensive campaign would be
started.
