Under the program at present con-

Reasons for Failure.
The conference between the Labor
Board and the big Four chiefs
failed Of definite results because no
proposition of settlement was laid
before the union leaders. 1t was
learned today.
The brotherhood chiefs refused to
postpone strike plans until Washington
could move to reduce freight rates and
secure satisfactory guarantee from
the railroads that there would be no
further wage slashing until the cost
OF living has been lowered. and that
there would be no further disturbance
of working rules.
The board asked for Official infor-
nation as to whether the strike had
been ordered, and the reasons for
calling It.

stood, informed the board that though
the 12h per cent wage cut of last
June was the technical reason for
calling the strike. a more important
one was the disturbance of working
rules by the railroads.

sources, issued warning to the brother

TIMER SHORT CIRCUITS
CAN BE ELIMINATED

Every Ford owner knows the in
convenience caused by short-circuit-
ing OF the timer wires. the common
practice of running them across to
the right side of the motor making
them particularly subject to wear and
oil ilJsaturation. There is a better way
Of connecting them which reduces the
liability of short-circuiting.
Remove the timer wires. and with
a knife carefully cut of the braided
covering which incloses them. Fasten
them to the timer terminals in their
respective positions, and carry all the
wires up to the radiator support rod
over the hose connection, running
those from contacts three and four
on the left side and those from con-
tacts one and two on the right side.
Bind the wires to the rod in this posi-
tion. leaving just enough slack to
allow for the movement of the timer,
and make the wires fast to the coil
box terminals. cutting them OF II
too long.
The advantage 10 at once evident
You may inspect each wire separately
throughout it's entire length. No
wires cross the timer or touch IL ex-
cept at the terminals. and there Is
no possibility OF their becoming worn
or oil-sosked.-In April Motor.

TROUBLE MAY BE SAVED
IN REMOVAL OF TIRES

Although tire removal is ono Of
the most common occurrences OF
motoring life, comparatively few own
ers know of a little trick which not
only saves time and motions but
actually facilitates the Job OF taking
the rim off the felloc. This consists
in loosening without removing the
two lugs nearest the valve stem.
After shaking the tire to and fro
slightly II will lift off very easily.
When putting on the spare tire, the
valve stem is rotated around to the
bottom. the weight OF the car Is al
lowed to rest on the tire, and It will
be found that the rim is in the best
position with respect to the felloe
for inserting and Tightening the other
lugs.
The rim being held free from the
felloe at the upper side of the wheel
due to the weight at the bottom, the
lugs can be inserted and screwed up
with the minimum Of effort-Motor.

PRODUCTION BOOMING
AT VELIE CORP. PLANT
Material Lacking to Keep Up
With Flood of Orders. =

Production at the Velie Motors Cor
poration, Moline. Ill, has reached a
stage where necessary material is not
available in sufficient quantity to
maintain output equal to the orders
received
The prices OF Vclie cars were cut
deeply at the first signs of depression
last fall, and as a consequence a con-
tinuous production was maintained
all during the fall and winter months
when general business was at low
ebb. At no time has the factory been
closed except ten days for inventory.
With the turn OF the new year sales
increased remarkably, and at present
unified orders alone will require two
months to handle. The surplus OF
orders is steadily increasing.
Strenuous efforts are being made to
increase production. Already an
average output of thirty cars a day
has been reached and shipment the
past week has approximated forty
cars a day.
The company is nov building two
Skies and eight styles of bodies.
Backed by a decade of automobile
manufacturing experience and sound
finances, they are emerging from the
readjustment period stronger than
ever.

MARYLAND STATE
POLICE

An address by the Governor OF
Maryland to the first thirty six
men to finish their intensive
training at the state camp at
Glen Burnie:
You go out from here wear
ing the uniform OF the State of
Maryland and IL lies in your
hands that credit or. discredit
shall be brought upon IL. You
represent the State OF Maryland
as much as /.
This newly organized, splen-
did body OF men whom Colonel
Baughman has organized. trained
and disciplined to protect the
citizens OF the State under any
emergency, have a great, grave
and noble responsibility. Men,
your word will be the law. your
most casual behavior will be re-
membered: your mannerisms,
your clothing. your carriage,
your vocabulary-all will either
command respect or merit crit
icism or lack % respect
"As officers you will aspire to
these qualities: self-confdcnce,
paternalism, fairness. Initiative,
decision, dignity and courage.
Many times circumstances will
arise which will try your temper
and wreck the sweetness of your
disposition. If at such times you
fly off the handle you have no
business to be officers in this
organization, for men in anger
say and do things which they
invariably regret afterwards.
The possession of physical
vitality, endurance to withstand
hardships to which you will un-
doubtedly be subjected. a daunt-
less spirit which will not only
enable you to accept them cheer
fully but minimize their magni-
tude will mt you to be an
integral part OF this organiza-
tion.
II know the ideals Colonel
Baughman has for you and the
people OF Maryland are perfectly
willing to follow. respect and
support your organization so
long as you can convince them
that you have these qualities and
live up to his ideals, but when
the time comes and they are
satisfied you DO not possess them,
your usefulness as an organiza-
tion is at an end.
DO not abuse authority-so
live and conduct yourselves that
you will demand respect. II you
want to aspire to Colonel Baueh-
mans ideals you will individually
and as an organization be the
idol of your State."-Maryland

AUTO 4HANDWORK'
DONE BY MACHINE
Charles W. Nash Produces Euro
pean Standards by Use OF
American Methods.

Charles w. Nash. head Of the Nash
interests OF Kenosha. Wis, and origina-
tor of the "straight-line," production
system for motor cars, which brought
the ownership OF automobiles within
reach of the average American, has
announced a radical new production
method, applied to a different class
OF cars, which duplicates by machin-
cry and at a lower cost the fine hand
work that has always distinguished
the leading cars OF Europe. 1t might
be called the multi machine" method.
The immediate benefactor OF Mr..
Nash's new production conception is
the Lafayette Motors Company of
Indianapolis, of which he is president
"After more than twenty years in the
motor car business" says Mr.. Nash,
''most OF which has been devoted to
the production OF cars in the medium
price class, / have realized in my as
sociation with Lafayette an ambition
which I have always had. namely, to
produce car comparable to the
finest handmade cars of Europe, but
designed for American road condi-
tions and long distances and manufac-
tured on practical machine basis
which would make ownership possible
among that substantial class OF men
and women in this country who find
true satisfaction in the assured
quality OF their possessions.

does not approach the cost of hand

it retains that important asset OF the
