Because 1t will not only eliminate
the irritating nuisance taxes which
now confront automobile owners
when purchasing accessories for their
cars, but believing that II will also
have stimulating effect on Indus
try and help to solve the menacing
national problem OF unemployment.
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, comprising about 700 State and
local automobile clubs and repre-
senting the individual car owners Of
the country, has gone on record for
a manufacturers tax and to support
a tax revision program involving
the repeal OF the special discrimin-
atory war taxes now ip effect.
Hope TO Aid Industry.
Admitting there is a selfish inter-

elimination of the nuisance taxes,

dorsing the manufacturers tax Is
to give to the business men of the
country just what they themselves
feel is needed to set in motion the
wheels of industry that will give
employment to more than 5,O0O'Ooo
now idle men.
In going on record in favor of
manufacturers tax, the A A. A. be-
lieves that this form of taxation
would not only help to solve the un-
employment problem but that IL
would be less costly for the Federai
government, more easily assessed
and more completely collected, more
understandable to all the people less

Spark LeUer Intended
To Control Ignition

The spark lever is for controlling
the ignition timer or breaker which
causes quick impulses of hiGh-ten-
sion current to pass through insu-
lated wires to the spark plugs
When the spark lever is retarded
the timer is in a position where the
contact points separate and send
current to the plugs just at or a
little past the beginning of the
power stroke of each piston. When
spark lever is advanced the timer
moves to a corresponding position,
creating impulses before each piston
reaches the beginning of power
stroke. when the engine develops
more power and speed.

EEYSK FATALLY
INJURED in MONTH
In 29S ACCIDENTS
Large Number Caused by
Faulty Mechanism or
Fast Driving.
TYPES ANAL YZED
Modern System of Issuing
Drivers Permits Held
Partly to Blame.
TYPES ANALY ED

The alarming increase in auto
mobile fatalities in Washington and
vicinity during the past month. as
well as all over the United States
is giving the police departments
and public safety officials vast con-
cern.
Highway trafic engineers have
made a nationwide campaign
among the various municipalities to
obtain maximum cooperation in
advising and warning the travelling
public of unusual road conditions.
This covers repairs of roads under
process of construction, sharp turns,
hidden grade crossings, masked ap-
proaches, railroad crossings, steep
hills. narrow traffic zones, and
blocked roadways.
Fatal Injuries to Fifty-six.
In spite of these measures, the
accident rate continues high, and
still increases. In the District of
Columbia, and nearby Maryland and
Virginia alone, during the past
month, there were 29S automobile
accidents which resulted in wreck
ing of that many cars. and the fatal
injury to ffty-siX persons. An
analysis OF the types of accidents
wreck was the result of failure OF
steering mechanism or fast driving;
in thirty-four cases it was attrib-
uted TO lack of proper safety warn
ings; twenty-eight cases to mask
ed crossings or grade crossings;
TWENTY-FIVE instances to failure OF
brakes: eighteen smashups due to
binding lights; twenty-three
wrecks caused by drivers being in
toxicated; seventeen where a car
ran past a warning signal; thirteen
due to defective roads or car run
ming into road obstructiOns; fifteen
due to operators failure to give
stop" signals; eight instances
where car ran of road because of
poor lights. and one each due to
operator losing control running
down garage incline, operator mis-
taking traffic signal. driver back
ing down embankment, collapse or
auto wheel. and engine stalled on
railroad crossing where freight
train backed into csr.
Licenses Too Free Is Belief.
Il is believed that the modern
system of issuing automobile driv-
er's permits, allows too free a
license In most localities, however,
the state and county authorities is
suing driving licenses forbid the
holding of these permits by the
feeble minded. persons MANNED in
aEms or limbs. those defective in
ttsion, or hearing, or habitual
drunkards, as well as establishing
Is years as the lower age limit.
Then. too, the applicant must un-
dergo certain driving tests, and be
a responsible public person. Some
city and State authorities advocate
the shifting of control over licens-
ing to the Federal government.
Enforcement Is Inadequate.
Speed regulations seem to be
adequate in Washington and in the
majority of districts. although the
means for properly enforcing the
law in this regard is usually limit
ed to the appropriations made for
Iaw-enforcing officers salary.
The automobile manufacturers
associations are making a deter
mined drive to have the standard
designs of irreversible steering
mechanism universally adopted. and
every means to that end is being
taken advantage Of

Weight and Pressure
Rules for Car Care

We hear a great deal of discus
sion on the subject of weight as
related to tire pressure. Every car
owner knows it is bad for the tires
to force them to carry more weight
than they were intended to bear.
Unfortunately it is not always pos
sible to avoid overlooking the car,
nor can the driver be expected to
weigh each passenger and then
pump up his castings to meet the
demand about to be made on them.
When it becomes necessary to carry
extra weight let the car be driven
slowly with all due care to avoid
unusual bumps and a temporary
overload will probably result in no
damage to the tires.

DEATH BEING INVESTIGATED

That Tiny" Christensen, former
Elk Horn college student who met
death in Cleveland a few days ago
when his mail plane burned, came to
his end through the negligence Of his
superiors is the charge made by for
mer air service men.
Lieut.. G. c. Eversole, testifying
before a federal committee at Chi
cago investigating the numerous re-
cent deaths of mail flyers, said that
Christensen was forced against his
protest to make what proved to be
his death trip in bad weather. Mr..
Christensen, Eversole testified, was
marked because of his activities in
showing up the negligence" Of the
officials of the air service. For this
reason he was compelled to take
extra hazards or lose his job.
Christensen attended Elk Horn
college several years ago and was
we'll known in Audubon. Accord
ing to Eversole, Christensen was
credited with being the best" pilot
in the mail service.

proprietors received word from the
chief of detectives there that the

that the officers believed it belonged

WATCH OUT FOR CUT WORMS
Many Found in Iowa This Spring and
They viii Damage Corn Now
And in August.

Cut worms, particularly those
about an inch long anr of a brown
or yellowish gray color, are injecting
Iowa fields this year. This worm,
which has two broods per year, was
unusually abundant this spring and
damaged much young clover by eat
ing into the crown of the plant. The
first brood has passed on after kill
ing many fields, but will probably
appear again in August.
II the cut worms attack the corn
fields within the next few weeks
they can be controlled by scattering
mixture composed of the follow
ing:
Secure 20 pounds of bran, pound
of paris green, l pound Of salt, 2
quarts of cheap grade molasses, y
ounces amyl acetate, or, If the lat
ter cannot be obtained, use instead,
the fruit of six lemons or oranges
chopped up fine. Mix the bran and
paris green together, dry, then add
enough water, which will be from
Q to gallons, to make a crumbly
mash of the bran. Then add the
amyl acetate and salt and mix the
whole together with the molasses
and water. salt is not essential and
may be omitted, altho it makes the
mash more attractive to the taste.
Spread where it will be easily OBJ
tanned by the worms.
Where the worms are detected in
migrating, they can be trapped by
blowing a deep furrow so that they
can get into it and will have to
scale the straight side to move for
ward. They soon gather in the
trench and can be killed with a
shovel.
Due to the early attacks there is
a possibility of further attacks the
latter part of May and June. 1t is
desirable to start determination
when they first appear so that they
will not spread over the farm.
