Weeks Hears Ford's Aids
Gets Promise of Data in Offer
for Muscle Shoals Plant

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.--Secretary
of War Weeks conferred to-day with w.
B. Mayo and ]. w. Worthington, en-
gineers representing Henry Ford, of
Detroit, in connection with the lattcr's
offer for the Muscle Shoals (Ala.)
nitrate plant, built by the government
during the war. Secretary of Com
merce Hoover and Brigadier General
Taylor, assistant chief of army en-
gineers, also were at the conference.
Mr.. Weeks would not disclose de-
tails further than to say that he had
asked Mr.. Ford's engineers for certain
version of the plant into a fertilizer
factory, and that they had been unable
to supply the figures offhand. The in
formation he desired would be fur
nished, the Secretary said, as soon as
the engineers could obtain it, and Mr..
Ford was then expected to come to
Washington in person to discuss his
offer with government officials.

Mrs. Crosby Sues Boss Murphy
For $500 Due Her for Rent
She Says That Tammany Chieftan Paid for Her
Premises Until She Put Mr.. Nixon i'm Nomina-
ton for Presidency at San Francisco Convention

Mrs. John Sherwin Crosby has sued
Charles Francis Murphy, head of Tam
many Hall, for $500. This sum, she
says, is due her for two months rent of
rooms in her house at 81 West Eighty
second Street, which were used in the
winter of 1919 and 1920 for headquar-
ters for various womens Democratic
organizations.
There was a sudden coolness between
Tammany Hall and it's chief woman
worker following Mrs. Crosby's nomi-
nation Of Lewis Nixon for president
in May last year. This was followed
swiftly by Mrs. Crosby's removal from
her place as New York member of the
Democratic national committee. Then
when Mrs. Crosby looked for the June
and July rent of her parlor floor it
was not forthcoming.
Mrs. Crosby said she strove to be
forgiving, but when she turned down
the Democrats in the fall and came
out for Harding and Wadsworth, she
felt then that all was over; that Mr..
she put the matter in the hands of her
lawyer, Allen Carruthers, and Mr.. Car
ruthers will put it in the hands of the
court on Thursday.
'The rooms were occupied for ten
months by the Women's Democratic
League Of New York State and by the
Committee of One Thousand Demo-
cratic Women" said Mrs. Crosby yes
terday. "The rent was always paid
promptly by the treasurer of Tammany
Hall. When came back from the
Democratic National Convention I or
ganized the Women's Cox and Roose-
velt League, and it would have been a
good organization if it had lasted.
II meant everything for the best.
But never got the rent for the
months of June and July, though I had
meetings at the place all that summer.

II suppose Mr.. Murphy didn't like

either that or my refusal to vote for

convention.

that you can't be Independent with

"Well. I'm through with politics,
now. All | want is my rent Mr..
Murphy sent a man with an offer to
settle my bill for $500, but sent word
back that if he owed me 5000, he owed
me $500, and 1 refused to SETTLE"
Mrs. Crosby caused sensation in
political circles last year when she re-
nounced the Democratic party after
having been it's most conspicuous
woman leader for many years. Her
name was dropped from the Demo
cratic clubs which she had organized
in spite of her protests that she had
a legal right to work Independently in
the Presidential election of 1920.

BATTERY GAN I BE COMP AIRED
 WITH CAMELS

Like the radiator, the storage bat tcrv in an automobile needs drink Of water occasionally.
 The battery. however. is much more particular In its taste than the radiator explains Bert Morgan of the Morgan Motor Service company. distributor here of the Westinghouse battery Ordinary water will not do. Distilled water must be used.
 Inside the cells of the battery there is a solution. known as cleo trolyte. which covers the plates and helps produce the chemical action that generates electrical current. Like all liquids, the electrolyte will eTapcrate- This causes it's surface to sink below the level of the top of the plates which must be covered. Unless the cells are filled again so that the plates are completely sub merged. they will disintegrate and the battery will be ruined.
 When the electrolyte is low. the battery needs distilled water. This may be secured by the owner of any make of battery at our Westinghouse service station at First and Van Brren street without charge. In win ter it is necessary to refill a battery about every month, but evaporation IS more rapid in summer and the battery should be given a drink at least twice monthly.
 Ordinary city water contains too many impurities to function properly in the electrolyte. Only pure water evaporafes. It must be replaced by pure water. Otherwise a constantly increasing volume of foreign matter will deposit in the cells to decrease their efficiency.
 The motorist can learn if his cleo trclyte is low by unscrewing the small cap on top of each cell and looking in to observe whether the tops of the scparators stand above Inc liquid. A gravity reading should es taken before each filling. This should register about 1.250 at 70 de- ereeS Fahrenheit"

NUT NECESSARY FUR MOTOR|ST
 TO kNOWIT ALL

How about tracing out trouble in the electrical circuits on your car: or correcting the timing of the mo- tor; or gringing the valves. Could you do those things if either were necessary in an emergency?
 Most garage men, and they are in position to know, believe that you are to be congratulated on your knowledge if you are one of the old fashioned few who can do any of these things.
 The long and short of it seems to be that the substantial construction of the car and it's parts and the ire quency of service stations makes all this do it yourself knowledge su- perfluous. The up-to-da driver. in stead of loading up his memory with a mass of details, remembers only a few items of routine care. things he must do to keep the car running smoothly and continuously. 1t is this sort of information that the indus try has made popular.
 Hardly a day goes by in any ga- rage or service station without their noting the effect of the educational work that has been done by the ac- cessory manufacturers and the car builders during the past few years. The storage battery in particular has

SMALL CLINGHER CORDS REQUIRE LARGER TUBES

Since the introduction of the 30x31z clincher cord tire for Fords and other small cars, the T.. S. Rubber company has kept in close touch W1,h the service rendered by the several makes as they came on the market Observations led to the conclusion that there was common fault in all of them-tube chafing- . nd in rhe development of the Royal Cord in that size, particular atten- ton was given to correcting the con- dition.
 The solution of the trouble lies in she use of 31x4 tube in all S0x3 1s cltnchcr cord castings.
 IL will be noted that this recom- mendation applies only to clincher cord tires and does not apply to SrrasxhtSide tires. The design of the straightside tire is such that a tube Of the same nominal size as the cas- ing is satisfactory in all cases.
 All tubes for clincher tires are made somewhat longer in proportion to the size of the casing than tubes for Strzightside castings.
 The object in making the tube longer is to keep it well away from the beads so it will not be pinched when the tire is applied on the rim. Then the tube begins to swell up under imitation 1t is so long that 1t is forced first against the crown and sides of the easing. Lying against the walls of the casing. it keeps on swelling and stretching in the direc- ticn of the beads and there is much more stretch in this last portion than in the parts resting against the walls.
 In a cord tire the air chamber within the carcass is much longer than in a fabric tire. Consequently this stretch at the beads is, so great that the tube is thinned down at that point to degree where little rough ness on the bead toes will quickly chafe st through. This has been the cause of the trouble. If tube of larger sectional measurement is used, there is. of course, more rubber to stretch and the tube does not be- some thin enough across the beads to be injured
 It is not to be understood that the assertion is made that thefe is al- ways tube trouble in every 30x3h clincher cord tire where a 30x31a tube Is used The fact is that the percen- tase of failures is relatively small but yet large enough to warrant the advice that 51xi tubes be used in all S0xSis castings of the clincher cord type

CAD|LLACL|NKS
 UP WITH EARLY
 .DE TRO|T LIT [

When Marshal Ferdinand Foch rode forth in parade Monday of last week and all Detroit paid homage to the supreme commander of the Allies, no detail of comfort or sentiment had been omitted.
 A Cadillac car bore the great mar shal and was chosen for many req sons, but mainly because of its re- markable record overseas during the World War.
 It was adopted by the American government at the standard seven- passenger car due largely to the out come of 2,000 mile competitive test at Maria, Texas. The United States Marine Corps followed the example of the army, its standardization board adopting the Cadillac as the stardard officers car. Its great re- cord overseas is now history. A total of 2.o95 cars were shipped overseas 199 to various posts and camps ir this country and 225 were delivered to the Canadian government
 The Frer ch highly prized theil Cadillac cars, too, and early in the war the United States Motor Trans port Corps sold 10 to the French General staff. It was frequently stated that, to be safe, officers ana men always saluted every Cadillac

Jap Bridges Take
 Special Treads

When Charles B. Warren. lately ambassador to Japan. opened nego- tiations for the embassy's motor equipment, he found unexpected diff ficulties in his way. Automobile men with export experience told him that a limousine of a standard American make would not do. For Tokyos streets are narrow and her many bridges are of light bamboo, amply strong to carry the lighter burdens that make up the traffic of the little men of Nippon. but never intended to carry a big American car and it's burden of seven full-sized white men.

car because so many high officers rode in Cadillacs.
 The sentimental feature of honor ing Marshal Foch was likewise con- sidered in choosing the Cadillac car named after that illustrious French man, Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. Cadillac, too, was a military officer who with 50 soldiers and 50 settlers founded Detroit in 1701.
 Mayor Couzens of Detroit had this in mind when he declared Detroit doubly honored the marshal because he represented the blood that founded Detroit, and Marshal F'och responded by declaring that in Detroit he felt he was in another France but a France warmed by an American sun.

Inauguration Address Stresses Change Taking Place in
United States as Country Turns From War and De-
structiOn to Problem of Construction One of
Most Vital of Many Questions Now at
Hand Pressing for Solution.

Washington, March 4.--PreSident

said:
My Countrymcn. When one surveys
the world about him after the great
storm, nothing the marks of destruc-
tion and yet rejoicing in the rugged
ness of the things which withstood it,
if he is an American, he brcathcs
the clarified atmosphere with Il
strange mingling of regret and new
hope. We have seen world passion
spend its fury, but we contemplate
our republic mistaken and hold our
civilization secure. Liberty-liberty
within the law-and civilization are
inseparablc, and though both were
threatened we find them now secure,
and there comes to Americans the
profound assurance that our repre-
sentative government is the highest
expression and surest guaranty Of
both
Standing in this presence, mindful
ing the emotions which no one may
know until he senses the great weight
of responsibility for himself, | must
utter my belief in the divine inspira-
tion Of the founding fathers. Surely
there must have been Gods intent
in the making Of this new world re-
public. Ours is an organic law which
had but one ambiguity ,and we saw
that effaced in baptism of sacrifice
and blood, with union maintained, the
nation supreme and it's concord in
spring. We have seen the world rivet
its hopeful gaze on the great truths
on which the founders wrought. We
have seen civil, human and religious
liberty verified md glorifcd. In the
beginning the old world scotfcd at
our experiment, today our fomda

supreme fulfillmcnt.
Progress Proves Wisdom
The recorded progress of our re-
public materially and spiritually, in
itself proves the wisdom of the in
herited policy Of non-involvement in
old world affairs. Confident of our
ability to work out uur own destiny
and jealously guarding our right to
do so, we seek no part in directing
the destinics of the old world. We do
not mean to be cntangled. We will ac-
'cept no responsibility except as our
own conscience and Judgment in each
instance may determine
Our eyes never will be blind to Il
developing menace, oar ears never
deaf to the call of civilization. We
recognize the new order in the world,
with the closer contacts which prog
ress has wrought. We sense the call
of the human heart for fellowship,
fraternity and cooperation. We crave
friendship and harbor no hate. But
America, our America, the America

inspired fathers, can be party to no
permanent military alliance. 1t can
