The men who boited the meeting were
the representatives of the Ohio As

should charge the a. A. A with

the A. A. A. does not now and never
has sanctioned insurance as a fea-

has no jurisdiction as to what it's

we do not believe that the gen

and we will take no action until we
have definite assurance that these

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, June 1o.-In view
of developments in the prohibition
departments war on booze. mo-
torists have been asking them
selves what they would do in case
they received an order to stop
from persons bearing no distin-
gushing marks as federal officers.
If the motorist stops and the
"agents" turn out to be highway
men. as has happened in many
cases. he loses his valuables.
If he does not stop. and the
agents are bona fide, he Is fired
On from the rear, with the posslpie
result of injury to himself and the
almost certain result of damage
to his car.
The motorists are in quandary.
Police Commissioner Gather says
he would let his decision rest on
circumstances.
Depend on Suspicious.
"If il were on a lonely road. or
were aroused. l would take the
chance and keep going" he said.
The commissioner naturally is ret
icent about giving more direct
opinion.
IF advise motorists not to stop
unless they are sure the men are
prohibition agents. and one of
them is shot, then I'll be mixed up
in nice mess" he said. 'Imme-
diately every one will say that the
driver followed the advice of the
police department and in so doing
was shot.
IF I say take no chances and
pull up. no matter who gives the
order, then soma one will think I'm
to blame for his being robbed"
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
Haughman would also let his de-
cision rest on circumstances.

fold. This may be strong enough to
force a spray of gasoline over the
motor, and 1t may be burning. II so,
the result is fire.
A clean engine will not burn. but
most engines are not clean.
Popping into the carburetor" al
ways means an explosion into the
carburetor through an open inlet
valve The above cause is the most
common-that is, the explosion is SO
long -drawn-out that il ignites the
next charge. There are. however,
other causes. Supposing the inlet
valve sticks. or for some reason is
prevented from closing, the result
will be an explosion into the carbu-
rotor. and usually a very hot explo-

wheel is held solid, while the other
can be turned, with the brake on. the

held with equal tension. If pressing

possible has no effecr on the wheels
either the brake lining is gone or the
rod leading from the brake pedel
should be shortened
When brakes grab or bind with a
Jerk it is almost a sure sign that the
brakes need refining. and they should
be seen at once. because the shock
a car receives each times this occurs
is far worse than miles Of running.
The bearings in which the brake
control shafts work are fitted with
grease cups or oil devices of some
kind. Too often these are neglected.
They are as important as any and
should be oiled regularly.

they are eager to pay Jack to see the
Frenchman knocked off.
The dapper manager of the globe

more money for fighting Carpenter
again in London than they got for put
ting him down in Jersey City.
Kearns insists that they will not be
ready to fight any one before Sep

SOUTH CALIFORNIA
TRACK STARS SHINE

LOS ANGELES, May 20.-The big
colleges and universities of the Pacific
coast usually get the limelight, and
usually win the contests with the
Southern California Institutions when
The two sections get together. But
down here there is a live and vigorous
conference made up of institutions that
turn out excellent teams despite the
handicap of comparatively small en-
rollments and regularly produce stars
that would shine in any company.
The southern conference is made up
Of Pomona colleges Whittier, Occiden-
tai, Redlauds university, California In
5titute of Technology, and University
Of California, Southern branch.
The University of Southern Califor
MIA is Of course member of the Pa-
cific coast conference, but meets the
other southern institutions in every

Track produces more individually
prominent stars than any other sport
and right now there are three members
of the last American Olympic team who
are home products attending southern
institutions.
Charlie Daggs, the premier hurdler of
the coast and one of the best in the
country, is at Pomona. Oliver Cory,
high jumper, and Otto "Swede' An
derson, hurdlcr and broad jumper, are
freshmen at Z. S. C. Cliff Argue, an
Oxnard product, runs both dashes,.
broad Jumps, high jumps, throws the
discus, and puts the shot. He is ma
tional junior broad jump champion.
Bob Allen of Redlands is another all
around phenom running the century in
10 flat and the 220 in % flat. He also
runs a fast flight Of high hurdles.
OXy, Pomona, and Redlands are the
"Big Throex" of the conference in,
track
All of the southern institutions have
a crop of stars coming on next year.
Little Chuck Eaton of Pomona is due
to hang up marks with the javelin. He
weighs less than 160 but has already
broken the Southern Pacific A. A. U.
record, throwing the long spear 18l
feet 6 inches. He will be eligible for
varsity competition next year. Paul

year beat every half miller he has met,
