BELL FINDS WIRE TROUBLES
Electric Buzxer With Dry Cell VIII Be
Found Useful In Locating
Short Circuits.

Repair men will find the use Of an
old electric door bell very handy in
locating short circuits, ground wires,
open circuits, blown fuses, WORKOUT
sockets, broken wires aud other diff
~cultles.
Bind the bell TO a dry cell with tape
or cord and wire In series, leaving the
outside wires six to eight feet long.
Secure a clip on the end Of each Of
these wires. and In making the test
fasten these wires to the different
parts Of the wiring system of the car
where trouble is suspected. If the
bell rings the wire Is In good condl-
tion If not. the trouble al be easily
located.

ATTENTION TO REAR SPRINGS
But Few Owners Take Trouble to Turn
Up Grease Cups Provided
for lubrlcatino.

Many cars are fitted with rear
springs mounted on seats which oscil-
late. These springs usually have some
means of fabrication, but few owners
take the trouble to turn the grease
cup provided.
While II Is not necessary to turn the
cup each day, 1t is a good plan to pay
some attention to this most impor-
tnnt part. In cantllever suspensions
the center bearing of the spring
should be well oiled. Usually this
bearing operates on a small steel shaft
extending out from the frame.
In some cases "A tube running trans
versely Of the frame Is used. If no
grease cup Is provided an oil hole Is
used.

Use Lighter Oil in Winter.

Cold weather tends to thicker oil
and grease. Motorists who are anxious
to get best results with their cars then
use a lighter oil in the engine than in
summer Some even substitute cyIIn-
der oil for the heavy oil or grease or
dinarily used in gearset or axle hous-

Before Sigma XII fraternity composed
Of delegates to the meeting, this after
noon, Brigadier General Amos A. Fries,
chief of the United States Chemical
Warfare Service, declared that ain the
future chemical warfare materials will
undoubtedly cause more than so per
cent of all battlefield casualties" He
added that gas was more humane than
shot and shell because "of all the men
wounded from gas alone in the Amer
lean army only two out of a hundred
died, while, on the other hand, of all
those struck by bullets, high explosives
and materials other than gas, more
than twenty-four out of each hundred
died.
In the latter part of his address he
rldiculed reports about the "supernat-

stories that there are certain gases

War Areas Nearer Restored
Than South Was 10 Years
After Civil War, Asserts
Report of u. S. Novelist

PARIS, April 28.-The French gov
ernment some time ago invited Owen
Johnson, the American author who is
the son of Robert Underwood Johnson,
the American Ambassador to Italy, to
visit the liberated regions and report
upon how much had been done to re-
store them. Mr.. johnson had made
rather exhaustive survey Of the evacu-
ated departments Immediately after the
armsticc and was regarded a. compe-
tent to describe the progress made
since the end of the war and the pres
ent conditions in this area.
He has just presented a report to NJ
Loucheur, Minister of Liberated Re
gions. 1t is of great length and covers
the administration and expenditure of
$4,000, 100000 francs for agricultural,
industrial and building operations over
much of northern Franco. In conclud-.
ing his report, he says:
"1n thirty months France, despite
every difficulty, physically worn out by
the war and financially depleted, has
succeeded in accomplishing more than
our own Southern States were able to
accomplish in a decade after the Civil
War.
Agriculture is completely on its
feet and the peasant has accomplished
the impossible. Industry in large
measure is on its way toward restora
ton of complete production within
from two to five years. All this has
been accomplished by population
that, in large measure. is camped out
on footing of war. To give this popu-
lation permanent homes, to which they
have the right, is the problem of to-
day. 1t is not problem of labor
They do not need German labor and do
not wish it. 1t is problem of cash,
pure and simple, and no other solution
can be acceptable
France, regardless of the German
contention, has, it seems to me, done
everything physically possible. If Ger
many pays her obligations France can
compete her reconstruction in three
years.
This is not so much my personal
opinion as that of experienced en-
gineers with whom | talked and who
explained to me just what could be

verse which, with the will, was ad-
mitted to probate here to-day, revokes
a legacy of 100000 which had been
beoueathed to his daughterin-law, Mrs
Judith Adams Converse. 1t also re-
vokes bequest of 81 100000, the in
terest from which was to have been
used by his son, Edmund C. Converse
IT, and his daughter law, and directs
that the revenue from this sum be used
by executors for the support and main
tenance of his son and his sons chill
dren. The daughterin-law is thus cut
oft without cent.
The codicil was dated March 29, 1921.
Mr.. Converse died April at Pasadena,

Judith c. Adams, Of California. The
Converse estate is valued at $24 100000.
1t could not be learned last night

in-law. She married Edmund C. Con-
verse jr. in 1904, and during the next
three years they lived in New York

From The Tribnne's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON. April 28.-The Sen

a favorable report on the emergency
tariff bill. The measure was not actual
ly laid before the Senate. as the COM
mittee desires to go over the text of
the formal report. 1t probably will be
presented Saturday. Chairman Pen
rose intends to bring the bill up for
consideration Tuesday.
The bill. as the Finance Committee
has ordered it reported. has the same
tariff provisions as the House bill. but
the antidumping and currency valua-
tion features have been modified.
Moreover. the bill contains the Knox
provision to enable the government to
control the importation of dyestuffs
between the period of passing the
peace resolution and the enactment of
a permanent tariff revision bill.
Foreign exporters are prohibited
from entering the American market if
they refuse to permit examinations of
their books by American agents in
order to ascertain costs and selling
prices. This is new feature of the
bill.

intend to impose on it and which, in
stead of going to the German govern

AS for the question whe ether the oc-
cupation of the Ruhr will show a profit,
Premier BRAND said:
"It cannot but show a moral profit
and it cannot do otherwise than show
a material one too. We are not act

We shall help it lay as much as posi-
blc and all we want is to participate

that the Allies had their eyes particu-

Premier BRAND departs tomorrow
for London to take part in Saturdays

The decision of that body. the cxpecta-

An advance is almost inevitable, in the
opinion of observers here.
Members of the French government

Throughout the present crisis the
French have rallied at the bungling
efforts Of the Berlin government to
stave off punishment that it deserves.
NJ. BRAND has told his friends that his
profe ssional interest is such in seeing
the international game cleverly played
that he has yearned on several occa
sions to give DR.. Simons some good
advice. At the last London conference
he jokingly remarked that if all those
who worked for France in London were
appropriately decorated the heads Of
the German government should have
received grand crosses.
In London M. BRAND must face Bel
gian and British opinion, but both of
these seem now completely in accord.
Only in the event of another last min
ute offer from Berlin-the British
might consider it, but the French
would decline it and go ahead with
their plans even if they went alone
