New York Has 100000 Idle.

New York, Sept. o.-There are five
hundred thousand unemployed i'll
New York City thousands of whom
are destitute and sleeping in the
parks. Next Tuesday afternoon th4
city administration, cooperating with
the men who seem best able to fit
mon into jobs, will begin the work OF
finding work for some of these I'M
fortunates and "deportng' others.
For the first time, the law will be
invoked which gives the city the
right to pay the fare home of destl-
tute people from other communities,
the object being to get these unem-
rloyed strangers out of New York
before cold weather comes and drive
the more reckless characters to des-
perate measures. To get rid of the
thirty-odd thousand idle alien sea-
men. the United States government
will be asked to make up large depor-
tatioul parties, somewhat similar to
the Bolshevik parties which were de-
ported i'll disgrace more than year
ago.
No disgrace will attach to this de-
portation, however. The sailors have
been lying around the seamen's
homes and water front liangouts for
many months after being paid off
from vessels which then laid up to
await new cargoes. Ocean freights
are so low and traffic is so poor that
the men have not been able to find
ships again.

End to Indemnity Trading.

> Chicago, Sept. 7.-"Puts and calls,
the greatest gambling feature OF the
Chicago Board OF Trade, has been
abolished.
Discontinuance OF dealing. in indem-,
nifty contracts as puts and calls,
are known, was voted overwhelming
ly late today by members OF the
board. The vote was 545 to II.
Puts and calls" have been traded
in ior more than forty years. The
trading has taken place between 1880
p. III. and $50 p. m, after regular
market hours. 1t has been highly
speculative in character providing a
factor III numerous corners, and
has been subjected to the severest
criticism. 1t led TO Senator Capper
of Kansas, as spokesman for thou
sands of farmers, giving the Chicago
Board OF Trade the opprobrium Of
the world greatest gambling place.
Indemnity trading. it was voted, will
cease October 1.
Business on the Board will be re-
duced about 20 per cent with the
elimination of puts and calls" COM
mission men said. Many firms had
specialized in this trading.

Senate Finance Committee Splits on
Tax Proposals.

Washington, Sept. S.-The sales tax
as practical method of simplifying
the taxation system imposed upon
TIC An1crican people by the world
war, was one of series OF revenue
revision proposals on which the sem
ate finance committee split Thursday
when Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon appeared before it in closed ex-
ecutive session.
Mellon previously had expressed
himself to Republican members OF the
committee as inclined favorably to-
wards the sales. tax plan suggested
by Senator Smoot, Republican of
Utah. but opposed its adoption at this
time.
1t is known that both Mellon and
House Republican Leader Mondell
have urged upon President Harding
that the sales tax be withheld until
next year, when they suggested it
might be used to finance the service
mems pension plan which the admin
istration is planning to advance prior
to the congressional election next fall
as substitute for the so-called sol
diers' bonus.

GOVERNOR HYDE SPENDS
ONLY s DAYS IN OFFICES
IN ONE MONTH
Continual Absence From Capital
Causes Comment in Official.
i Circles. 7T

Jefferson City Sept. Io.-Governo
Hyde spent only five days at tn,
executive offices here during thu
month from August to Septembe,
8 and his continual absence from the
capitol has begun to cause much
comment in official circles. During
the period he spent much time con.
ferring on different, occasions with
politicians in Kansas City and St.
Louis.
Prior to August it was noted at the
capitol that the governor made MINI
erous trips out into the state and it
was declared that during the eight
months of his administration he had
been away from the executive offices
more than former Governor Gardner
was during his entire four years in
office.
Governor Hyde started August 8
by attending the state centennial cele-
bration at Sedalia. He remained
there for five days and had the op-
portunity of seeing Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hiram Lloyd, known as the
GEAR" Of the senate, attempting to
run the centennial" The governor
returned to his office August 10 and
was at his office again August IS for
few hours He then left on his
vacation for Roaring river, Barry
county, and did not return to his Of
flee until August 81. After spending
few hours at his office August 20,
he left in all automobile for his FORM
or home at Trenton.
He visited several sections of the
state before returning to his office,
September 2. for few hours. He left
again and did not return until last
Thursday. After spending few
hours at the capitol he boarded a
train for St. Louis.
On his automobile trips over the
state the governor has been driven by
Charles Dutch" Fromme, payroll |
bandit, who was sent from St. Louis |
to serve life sentence for murder
Fromme was chauffeur on the trip to
Sedalia. where he spent almost a
week seeing the sights, accom-
panied the governor on his vacation
into the Ozarks and was next intro
iuced to the "hone folks" at Tren
ION.
The relatives of Frederick Soller.
Who was murdered by Fromme and
lis acconlplices, have protested to the
prison board against Fromme being
permitted the freedom of "a private
,itizen. However, this had no effect
IN the governor. He selected From
nc as his chauffeur without the con-
ent of the prison board.

Blow Gas From Silo.

The inside OF a partly filled silc
gives no apparent warning Of the
danger which turks there, but it is
never safe to descend until the blower
has been turned on. Each year many
persons are overcome by the deadly
gases which accumulate directly
above freshly cut corn after it has
stood a while. Sometimes fatalities
result. The United States Depart
ent Of Agriculture reports that not
long ago two Illinois farmers were
killed and another was made serious
1y sick by silo gases. One of the
men entered a 5o-foot silo which had
been half filled the day before. When
he did not appear another went into
the sio to see what was the matter.
When neither appeared in response to
shouts from other worknen, the farm
owner himself went into the silo. He
likewise would have been killed had
it not been that other persons fol-
lowed him Immediately, opened the
silo doors and carried him into the
open air.
The blower should be run several
before any one enters a part
ly filled silo. This forces fresh air
in and disperses the gases SO that
they are no longer harmful.

BALK AT LANDS AWARD
Chicago Plumbers Walk Out, Pro
testing o5-Cent Wage.

Chicago, Sept. S.-A strike OF ths
plumbers employed on the millior
dollar Speedway hospital was staget
today as a protest against Judg.e
Landis's building award in whicf
their craft was given IS cents an hour
The strike will delay the arrival Of
1000 wounded and disabled soldiers
who were scheduled to go to the hos
pital the next two weeks.
! E. w. Steece, government superin-
tendent of construction, called on
Judge Lands, seeking advice. on
methods of dealing with the plumbers.
Judge Lands told him that it was not
a matter for him to decide but would
have to be handled by the sub-con-
tractors engaged in government work.
There were other unauthorized, spo-
radio walkouts of the various build
ing crafts throughout the city, despite
the efforts of union officials to hold
them in check. Hundreds OF workers
principally members of the trades
which received the largest cuts in pay
left their jobs, leaving the build-
ing situation for the moment in the
most chaotic state it has experienced
since the arbitration proceedings be-
gan.
The unions that received the largest
cuts in pay were those that refused
to waive certain rules making tor
greater economic waste, and tor
these organizations Judge Lands
left the back door" open il they
change their minds before Novem-
Der I. -,
Chief among these crafts besides,
the plumbers were the gas filters and

next" Judge Landis's decision reads
ANY of these union notify me OF
their willingness to change. their attl-
tude in this respect l will advance
their wages accordingly as the rule is
applied in the present award to other
trades. -------------
Steps to take advantage of this Of
fer were taken Immediately by the
Chicago Building Trades Council
when Thomas Kearney, president,
called a meeting of bushes agents to
discuss the situation.

DRIVER DE !: At
SHIFTING GEARS !
All Motions With Levers Must BE
Made Deliberately and With
out Undue Haste.
PROBLEMS ON TRANSMISSION
Il 10 Serious Mistake to Permit Car
to Gain Too Much Speed Before
Changing combinatIons-
Good Method Outlined. ga

One Of the marks Of a good driver
Is the manner In which he handles
the gear shifting lever. OF course
the design Of the clutch has great
deal to do with easy gear shifting
but even with this advantage d Ger.
tain amount of practice is necessary
in order to shift the gears deftly with.
out noise or clashing.
The transmission is made up Of a
series of gears, mounted on the main
shaft and the countershaft, with the
idler gear mounted on the transmits
sion case. The first speed, second
speed and reverse combinations are
simply three sets Of reduction gears
with various ratios, to give the mo-
tor greater leverage against the
driving mechanism when required.
High speed is direct drive, which
means that the propeller shaft re-
wolves at the same rate of speed as
the motor crankshaft. The various
gears are brought into play by moving
the gear shifting lever to the proper
positions.
Power Is Disconnected.
When the clutch pedal Is pressed
all the way down the power of the
motor is disconnected from the trans
mission system, which releases the
pressure Of the gear teeth against
each other and makes it possible to
shift the gears easily. Also, when
the gear shifting lever is in neutral
position the power is disconnected
from the rear driving mechanism be-
cause none Of the transmission gears
are in mesh.
The whole theory of gear shifting
may be summed up in the statement
that the two gears about to be meshed
should be revolved slowly and as
nearly as possible at the same rate
of speed. If one is revolving much
faster than the other it is difficult to
Shift without clashing.
How to Get Good Results.
1t is mistake. for the above req
sons. to let the car gain too great a
speed before shifting into a higher
combination. Tie following method |
will be found to give good results:
With the throttle closed and the |
spark lever about half t4en.ts IT, Tire
quadrant, so that the engine idles
slowly, throw out the clutch and put |
the gear shifting in first-speed posi-
ton. Engage the clutch slowly, at
the same time pressing down on the
accelerator pedal gradually. Let the
car attain speed Of about four or
i've miles an hour and then throw out
he clutch, removing the right foot |
from the accelerator pedal.
Push the lever slightly forward into
neutral position, then clear to the
eft and forward into second speed.
Let the clutch in gently. as before.
md accelerate the speed of the car
o about eight or ten miles an hour,
when the clutch should be again dis
the foot removed from the
lccelerator and the gear shifting lev
# pulled straight back into high speed
position.
All of these motions should be made
deliberately without haste.

FIRE FIRE CHANGES ARE ARE FAVORED
1t Is Well to Replace Rear Tires With
Front Ones and Also to
Reverse Sides.

After the rear tires have worn con-
siderably, interchange with the front
tires. It is also good to reverse sides.
The tractive strain on the rear wheels
makes it advisable to place new tires
on the rear wheels, moving the old
ones forward. Some Of the greatest
mileage records known have been
gained in this way.
