HARDING'S CONFERENCE ON
UNEMPLOYMENT REPORTS

WASHINGTON, August 25. -
President Hardings conference on
unemployment issued the following
statement Friday:
"The long anticipated report on
unemployment and business cycles,
prepared by the National Bureau of
Economic Research, Inc, of New
York, for the presidents conference
on unemployment, is now in the
hands of the committee on the bust,
ness cycle.
This report, on which score of
experts have been working for the
past six months, contains a summary
of practical experience in meeting
the regularly recurring business de-
pressions and their attendant un-
employment with which the country
has been so often saddled in past
years.
"On the basis of the various phas-
es of this report the committee has
begun to draw up recommendations
for mitigating the severity of the
business cycle and for tentative
program towards carrying them into
effect.
On October 2. next. the commit
tee, consisting of Owen d. Young,
chairman: Joseph II. Defrees, Mat
thew Vol, Clarence Mott Woolley,
Miss Van Kleeck, and Edward Eyre
Hunt, will meet again in Chicago.
They will then act on the final draft
of these recommendations in the hope
of giving to business a working bas-
is for cooperation. On December
l the report is to be published, with
an Introduction by Secretary

Niles, who is regent of the local
chapter, in charge OF arrangements.
Rehearsals have already begun I'M
der the direction of Miss Cleo Wales,
of Tennessee, who represents the
Hettie Jane Dunaway company, of
Atlanta.
The writer of the play has gazed
into a crystal and lays the scene in
the year of 1875. A long way to
look, and naturally many changes
take, place which make the people
and habits Of today seem ludicrous
and old-fashioned. The status Of
politics has entirely changed and the
Teins of government are in the hands
of women, who dress III mannish
clothes and attend to practically all
the business and the men who have
for SO long boosted of their brain
and strength assume femininity with
unusual grace and remain at home
sewing and darning, nursing and
tending other mental tasks.
The play is in three acts and the
grand finale is a beautiful chorus
which features the entire cast.
The parts which have been def
niteiy decided upon are Mr.. Polly
Tickk-Hollis Fort; Senator Celia
Kighbrow-Miss Marie Walker;
Father Time--Lee NJ. Hansford;
Dame Fashion-Miss Susan Stall
lings; Mrs. Capt Bridget O'Brien-
Miss Ruth Clark; Mr.. Sullivan o.

Lanb-Carrol Clark; and the Mel
ody Maids who are Misses Katherine
Hamilton, Mary Walker, Eugenia
Parker, Elizabeth Sheffield, Mary
Glover, Gertrude Davenport, Isabel
Wheatley and Mrs. Henry Lumpllin.
Much interest centers in the stag
ing of this play, the proceeds of
which will 90 to aid in carrying on
the Health Crusade in Sumter coun-
ty. Splendid work has been done
among the children in this crusade
and Mrs. Niles who has devoted much
time and energy to the work stated
today that one of the first things
the ccmrofttee would do at the be-
ginning of the fall term would be
to buy pair of scales for the city
schools and all of the rural schools.

Yes. This will happen if the float

sion to 80 or 100 pounds but before
doing it I want TO know if it will give
more power and if it will save gas Is
this practical for atouring car!

This change is not a good thing, be-
cause you will get al engine that
knocks badly all the time, unless a
special fuel is used. High compress
sion is desirable, but we cannot use
80 or 100 pounds in any engine, espe-
cially an L-head and use the ordinary
fuel without experiencing knocking and

part of the Buick Motor company looks
to be a most timely one, as it will give
them much more direct shipping facili-
ties as we'll as enable them to turn out

This additional capacity in the De-
troit plant will also release additional

lowing the Buick company to plan for

ScrapInu THROUGH Valve Pluos


If the cylinder head is not detach-
able II may be able to scrape through
the valve plugs, but this does not
usually produce satisfactory results
because all parts of the pistons and
head cannot be reached even with
scrapers having flexible handles. For
such engines / suggest the oxygen
method. This burning process costs
around 30 cents per cylinder and while
it is cheap and quick, / do not recon-
mend it for engines with detachable
heads, since the work cannot be as eff
fective as s%craping.
In view of the comparative cheap
ness and effectiveness of carbon scrap
ing and even burning out. l see no rea-
son why liquid carbon removers should
be used. These removers in some
cases are put on the market simply
to get your dollar. While some OF
them have merit, the majority cannot
remove carbon that is caked. Some
manufacturers even claim to dissolve
the carbon, when chemists tell us there
is no known solvent for this substance.
If you insist upon using a liquid re-
mover. be sure that the piston rings
are tight, for If they are not, the re
mover flows down into the ~crankcase.
After some removers are used. it is a
half hours work getting your engine
started.

DIR. FRANKLIN MAKES GOOD

President e. T. Franklin returned
home last Saturday morning from
Carlisle, Pa, where he worked in the
Dickinson College Endowment Drive
While there he made record for
himself that he may well be proud
Of He was sent to Carlisle by the
district headquarters to work about
for a while before being assigned to
another place. He detected that the
spirit of the faculty and student
body was not of the sort that would
push thru to victory; in fact, there
was the feeling that the project had
been defeated already. He learned
that out Of the teaching force and
student body of close to 900 only
$25, 900 had been pledged. Union
with half that number did as well.
He talked to the leaders about it,
the president was called in from one
of his campaign trips, and the en-
tire project was gone over by the
faculty and student leaders.
A new spirit was injected and the
canvass was started again. When
the whole was finished instead of
$25, 900 being pledged, 173,000 was
written. DR.. Franklin had the plea
sure of writing one pledge of $25,
600 and another of $4,000. He was
retained after this successful close
in the college drive for the drive in
the college town of Carlisle. He
was informed that $4,000 was all
that could be secured. When the
drive closed the citizens of the town
had pledged $4,000.
The great victory in the college
put new life and energy in the whole
development. The students and ia
Guilty, during the closing days prac-
tically dropped their work and gave
the whole of their time to the en-
deavor. The result of the entire
campaign was the securing OF
81, 800, 900 in pledges for the endow-
ment of the college. DR.. Hancher,
who had charge Of all of it, gives
our townsman, DR.. Franklin, credit
for having turned the tide toward
victory and says that he was an in
dispensible factor in the develop
ment.
