son here and the call Of the open
road at hand the time Of year when
owners use their cars more than
at any other season they are nat
urally more eager than usual to
so operate their cars that they will
get the maximum efficiency. AS
an aid in this direction, timely adj
vice is given to owners by Polk &
Asher, local distributors of Stude-
baker cars. In an interview on ser
vice, they say:
I'm general, motor car owners
should bear in mind that the heat
of summer, combined with the
harder and more consistent use to
which they put their cars at this
season of the year, causes more
evaporation than at other times.
This applies not only to water in
the radiator but also to oil.
During the hot weather months
attention should be frequently
given to the radiator; the owner
should see it is kept filled, and at
intervals it should be flushed out
and filled with clean water. In
connection with efficient lbpera-
tion of the cooling system, fan
belt adjustment should be made,
for the fan is needed in summer.
The position Of the spark lever
should be watched to see that it
is kept in an advanced position,
thus assuring better cooling of the
motor.
"Minor parts, such as spring,
shackles, wheel bearings, steer
ing connections and universal
joints require oiling more often
in summer. It is well that heav-
ier grade Of lubricating oil be used
in the motor, than in cold weather,
and oil should be drained from the
motor at intervals not to exceed
every 1000 miles. Better perform
ance will result when this is done.
Careful attention. should be di-
rected to the brakes to see that
they are kept in as nearly perfect
condition as possible, for during
the summer months they get
greater usuage, with more traffic
to contend with and more cars on
the road.
'Tire pressure should be watch
ed more closely on tires that have
been in use for long period, be-
cause tires expand more in hot
weather. The owner should have
a tire guage and use it in inflat-
ing. In taking long trips the own
er should be provided with a good
spare time, and should go over all
tires during the trip to see that
they have no defects.
Every owner wants to have his
car in the best possible condition
during the summer months, for it
is then he uses his automobile
most. To get this maximum eff
cheney, he must exercise greater
care in going over the car
change.

THE IMPULSE TO CRITICIZE

The habit Of criticism is one
that many peopleand not only
those who are criticized depre.
cate. There is a fairly general i'm.
preston that the person who crit.
ICES is not capable of doing much
else, and that, as he is too lazy OF
inefficient to undertake active
constructive work, he resorts tC
criticism Of others in order to
keep alive a spark of self-respect
Such an intolerant view of the
critic may occasionally be warran-
ted but it is more often unreason-
able The most searching criti.
cism has nearly always been sup
piled by men who were themselves
producers or men Of action. Mat
thew Arnold's insight as critic
was probably derived i'm some
measure from his own adventures
in to poetry; Roosevelt was as Sc
we're and sharp in criticism as he
was versatile and vigorous in ac-
ton.
It is true, however, that a good
deal Of criticism proceeds from
what may be called the impatience
of the amateur. Criticism of that
sort should be uttered with dis.
cretion, and usually little will be
lost if it is not uttered at all. A
consciousness Of the imperfec.
tions and shortcomings Of others
is likely to be more profitable tc
a person if it remains unexpress.

Nowberry. April lG.--The brick
store OF the Smith Mercantile company
at kinards, 13 miles north OF New
berry on the c. n & l.. railroad, was
broken into last night between mid
night and day by robbers, who ap-
pearcd to be amateurs, or bunglcrs of
the business anyway A crowbar, a
chisel and a big hammer were taken
from nearby blacksmith shop and
entrance was effected by prying open
window with the crowbar With the
hammer efforts were made to break
down the door OF the safe, but the rob
bers only succeeded in breaking of the
knob and several hundred dollars were
saved by their failure, for an unusual
sum had been put in the safe yesterday
that came i'll too late to bank ii. II is
possible the robbers were frightened
away somehow. At any rate the pro

that contained only four or live dol

with a peculiar tread were found this
side and beyond Kinards, and were
traced down as far as this CITY. and
, IT Is thought it came from the direc-
, tion Of Columbia and went back the

The discovery Of the robbery was
made by the proprietors when they
went to the store this morning. They
found the door unlocked, the robbers
having gone out that way, leaving the
blacksmith tools in the store by the
safe.

LEGISLATIVE PLANS
OUTLINED AT DINNER
Conference Held Between President and
Republican Senators.
(BY The Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Legislative
programs of the next few weeks in the
senate and house were fairly well out
lined today as a result of conference be-
tween President Harding and a number
of republican senators at White House
dinner last night.
Administration plans, as disclosed by
senators, call for passage by the house
OF the internal revenue revision t1ll and
of several senate bills by August C., with
view to recess or adjournment of con-
gress soon after until late in September
or early in. October.
Probably the most important feature
of the program disclosed was the presi-
dents desire to have the tax bill enacted
ahead of the Fordney tariff revision
measure. Senate leaders urged this
change It was said and now plan to hold
the tariff bill in the finance committee
until after the tax measure is put
through
The program was said to leave the
tariff bill subject to indefinite delay, pos
sibly until the minter session of congress.
although some senate leaders reiterated
that Il would be enacted before adjourn
ment of the present extra session.
other prominent features of the report
program, propose delay on the adminis-
tratlon bills for refunding allied loans and
for funding railroad debts.
Senate bills slated for passage before
the proposed recess are the pending ag-
ricultural credits measure, the Willis
Campbell anti-beer bin, the Capper-
tincher bin to regulate future trading in
grain and possibly the Borah bill to re-
store free tolls to American coastwise
vessels using the Panama canal.
This slate was said to have been agreed
on by the president and the fourteen SEN
ators who met at the White House din
ner, which was held last night under ar
rangements for secrecy ordered PERSONAL
~ by Mr.. Harding. The dinner guests
were said to have been urged to give no
advance information of the dinner. White
House officials, it was said authoritative
ly, also We're enjoined to prevent news Of
the meeting becoming public. Senators
today. however, freely talked of the leg
islative program.
In furtherance of the administration
plan, the president tomorrow night viii
have dinner conference with about a
dozen house republican leaders. The
senate republican steering committee also
viii meet tomorrow to discuss the pro-
posed plan.
