Seltzer Asks $4,000
Of Anti-Vice Society
For False Arrest
Publisher Complains That
indecency Charge Was
Humiliating and Costly;
Woman Also Is Plaintiff

A few months ago the Court of Ap-
peals sustained a judgment for $4,000
obtained by book dealer against the
New York Society for the Suppression
of Vice, which he sued for false arrest
and prosecution in connection with
the sale Of an alleged indecent book,
which the court held was not indecent.
Two more such suits were filed
against the Society for the Suppress
sion of Vice in the Supreme Court
yesterday by two other persons who
allege they were falsely accused Of
dealing in literature that is banned by
the Penal Code. The plaintiffs are
Miss Mary II. Mark. who is employed
in circulating library IN West Forty
fifth Street, and the other is Thomas
Settler, publisher, at West Fiftieth
Street. They are suing to recover
$4,000 and 100000 respectively.
Mr.. Seltzer complains that John S.
Sumner, superintendent of the de-
fendant society, caused the seizure in
his place of business of 243 copies Of
women in Love-" 159 copies of "a
Young Girls Diary" and 362 copies Of
"Casanova's Homecoming; Besides
seizing these volumes on the ground
that the works were indecent and were
published in violation of the law, Mr..
Sumner caused Mr.. Seltzer to be hailed
to court. There the publishers de-
fense was that the stories to which
the society objected were standard
works and were on the shelves of all
circulating libraries. Mr.. Seltzer was
acquitted. IN asking $4,000, $4,000
FOR eaAl ofEShTee causes of action, one
for every charge made against him,
the complainant says he was humiliated
end put to unnecessary expense by the
acts of the society's agent.
Miss Marks complaint is similar. She
was accused Of lending copy Of "A
Young Girls Diary" She was served
with a summons TO appear in court.
There she was held for hearing, be-
ing placed under arrest and placed OF,
parole in the custody of her counsel

the air they could attack the BritIsh
ships with bombs, mines and torpedces
and drive them quickly from the narrow

the Turks back from the Straits, leav-

Era OF Naval Transition
Looking at it broadly this is an era
of naval transition. For the present
we must have a navy on three planes.
During the battleship holiday we can
decide the fate of the bRttleship. We
can experiment with the'suhmarine and
the airplane and property and intclli-

we can divide the naval appropriation
judiciously into three parts--the sur

time to encourage the fullest possible

PER CIRCULAR

The first announcement OF the
big cut in the price of the Fordson
tractor was made through Mr..
Henry Ford's radio message Thurs
day evening, January 26, from our
Dearborn radio station to Ford
dealers attending a Fordson tract
ar industrial show in Cleveland, o..
The context of his talk, which was
very plainly heard in Cleveland
and surrounding districts, is quot
ed below:
at is certainly wonderful to sit
here in my office and say few
words Of greeting to you Ford
dealers of the Cleveland territory
The radio is an outstanding tribute
to mans inventive genius, They
say there is nothing new under the
sun, but we are constantly invent
ing new things, every day bringing
some big improvement over the
previous days methods.
Manufacturing operations have
undergone some wonderful revolu-
tionary changes during the past
few years. We are all familiar
with the big improvements in
transportation methods, but the
oldest industry has been the most
backward in the acceptance or
adoption of the new and up-to-
date methods of doing things, ana
that is the farming industry. Be-
ing a farmer, I am vitality inter-
ested in all farm improvements,
and with this in mind, l have
spent years OF time and millions
in money in the development of
the Fordson tractor, which really
think is one of the biggest possible
helps to profitable farming.
AS general thing, the farmers
have bettered their financial con-
dition during the past is months,
but the production costs Of farm
products are still too close to SELL

Of profit. What the farmer must
do to put his business on a paying

HOW TIRES WEAR
OUT IN THE GARAGE

An inspection of crippled tires In
the collection of any repair man
will reveal the fact that a larger
percentage Of the trouble comes
from neglect in the garage at
home. II stones, ruts and road
roughness were the only things that
wore out tires repair bills would be
cut in half.
Water, oil, grease and light
rubbers worst enemies-work in a
garage more actively than on the
road. In washing the car the rims
are liable TO become rusty and eat
away the tire. A coat of graphite
or common stove polish will pre-
vent this and keep the tire from
creeping.
OIL or grease should never be al
lowed to stand on q garage floor.
Small cuts or bruises on the tire
surface should be repaired at once.
IF a tire has been smeared with
grease, it should be washed thor
oughly with cold water and little
soap.
The spare tire is often forgotten
while the other tires are giving
good service, and neglect some-
times causes it to deteriorate rapid
ly. Always it should be protected
from rain, sun and dirt by cover.
Once in a while change it with one
of the tires on the car, so that the
rubber will not harden from disuse.
The weight OF the ear should
never be left on a Debated tire.
Such treatment is as bad as run
ming on a flat tire and is certain
to crack the carcass. Jack uD the
wheel or take off the tire entirely.

IT PAYS TO SEE
A TIRE DOCTOR"

Tires, it has been claimed, lose
vitality through dissipation in much
the same manner as men and with
much the same severity of conse-
IQuencc.
Using this analogy as a source Of
inspiration for earnest caution 10
present day tire users, Mcintosh,
of the Mcintosh Auto company,
says:
practically all tires received by
the big manufacturers for adjust
ment are prematurely aged and give
unanimous evidence of squandered
vitality, Yet proper care in the
hands of their owners would have
.enablod many Of these pneumatics
ito live to a ripe old age
1.-THE best preserved tires, like
men Of which the same thing can
be said are the ones whose strength
has been safeguarded. Dissipation
of the strength and vitality built
into a tire will quickly scrap it.
"And this conservation requires
more of the motorist than the mere
observance of the rules Of careful
driving, proper tire initiation, and
the like. 1t demands immediate at
tention to the diseases which may
fall to the lot of even the best of
pneumatics. Tread cuts that in
vite water seepage and the result
ant damage of separated fabric
layers and disintegration through
decay, should be plugged when first
discovered.

When descending a steep hill, it
is advisable to use first gear rather
than the brakes of the car. In this
way, the compression brake is
used and saves the foot and hand
brakes for an emergency.
