TIMES in Washington discloses that the
anti Harding forces are jubilant over
the nomination Of Pierce Butler Of St..
Paul, as associate justice of the Unit
ed States supreme court. They regard
the nomination as the supreme blunder
Of the Harding administration.
The appointment Of Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty aroused good deal Of
discomfort. Those who quietly op-
posed Daugherty when he was named
today make no ado about openly say
ing that Harding is saddled with an
administration wrecker in Daugherty
just as Taft was with Ballinger. The
II told you SOS" have found certain
pleasure in the warfare on the attor-
ney general which has ended in his
open arraignment, but this is as moth
ing compared to their attitude in re-
lation to the supreme court.
The anti Harding men have looked
some time for an avenue Of open and
excusable attack on the activities and
operations Of the president. Now they
feel they have found it in what they
are pleased to term principle and
personality" rather than governmental
party policy which, Of course, they feel
impelled to safeguard.
Buffers, nomination caused q furore
in both house and senate. At first it
aroused indignation, but as the anti
Harding men began to exchange views
irritation changed to elation, until the
opposition to the nomination crystal
lized into what the progressive bloc
regards as an opportunity.
Then, on top of this, came the re-
port, not uncontradicted, that the
much defeated governor Of New York,
Nathan L. Miller, also is being ser
iously considered for; the supreme
court. When the rocket was fred ev-

player who has just drawn his fourth

that Butler is not qualified to sit on
the supreme bench. :
Appearing before Senator's Nelson,
Cummins, and Walsh Of Montana, Mr..
Shipstead presented q letter In which
it was stated that "any attempt at this
time to place on the supreme bench q

and criticism"

'of, the u. s. Veterans bureau, Of
Fargo, was in the city this week in
the interest Of personal service work
in behalf Of war veterans. He is work
ing out Of the Fargo Office Of the bu-
reau, Of which C. T. Hoverson, widely
known to North Dakota ex-service.
men, is manager. Mr.. Zeller said that
the time for the filing Of claims for
vocational training lapsed Dec. 16.
This date in no way affects ex-service
Eman in filing their GLAZING, for COM
pensation, or re-instating or convert
ing their government insurance.
"Most of the men," said Mr.. Zeller,
chad had insurance granted to them,
but because of illness and financial
reasons had not been able to keep
this insurance in force, and many Of
them had become discouraged and
were making no effort to avail them
selves Of the privilege accorded them
by law. Section 408 Of the Sweet bill
ammended the original war risk in
surance act to the extent that disabled
men are now able to re-instate their
lapsed insurance, or to convert term
insurance to ordinary life, 30-p4yment
life, 20-payment. life, 20-year endow-
ment, 30-year endowment, or endow-
ment at the age Of 62.
"Under the war risk insurance
act any person in the military or naval
service was given the privilege of
obtaining from the United States in
surance against death or total per-
manent disability in amounts up to
$4,000. This insurance is issued by
the bureau Of war risk insurance Of
the treasury department on the yearly
renewable term plan.
"Some of the benefits to be had in
government insurance are outlined be-
low:
"War term insurance may be con-
verted into permanent form Of gov
ernment life insurance.
"No charge made in premium for
permanent total disability benefits.
"No limitation as to age at which
disability occurs, or cause Of disabil-
ity. No restriction as to residence,
travel, occupation, military or naval
service.
"Dividents are accumulated through
excess interest earnings over 3z 20,
plus any mortality savings, and paid
to all those whose insurance has been
in force more than one year.
"In case Of illness, on application,
premiums may be waived by insured
until recovered.
"No matter what mans disability
may be, or its degree, provided he
has not been declared permanently
totally disabled, he will be accepted
by the government on payment Of all
back premiums from date Of lapse
plus $50 interest compounded annually
on each premium due.
After four years Of premium pay
ments on q 20-year endowment, the
extended insurance values would take
care Of all payments Of premiums for
the remaining 16 years, but, by 30
doing, insured would only draw the
face value Of his policy, having sacri-

course
Ex-service men who desire to avail
themselves Of their privilege to re-
instate or convert their war term in
surance. may secure information and

Late and complete information re-

tanned in a new volume just issued by

The y. NJ a. Florida booklet is one
of the most comprehensive and under
standable volumes yet issued on motor
car touring. 1t was compiled under the
direction Of Don e. Scott, experienced
and noted roadlogGer. and is the re-
suit Of first-hand information. An Off

the important thoroughfares leading

The trip took several weeks. led
through eight states, and covered $500

Two Parking Pointers.

Parking cars directly under eIec-
trio arc lights is not wise plan.
These lights have a habit Of dfscharg-
ing red-hot particles of partly con-
sumed carbon. which may or may not
burn a hole through the tops of cars
directly beneath them. 1t doesn't pay
to run the risk.
Where parking is permitted only
on one side of the street. and where
traffic is rather heavy, it is good
plan to stop on the left side of the
one-way thoroughfare for a minute
IL there is a possibility Of some other
car vacating a space. At least it gives
the driver an opportunity to look the
situation over without, feeling that he
is blocking the traffic In the center
of the street. Stopping for few
moments before a NO Parking" sign
Is within the law, il the driver re-
mains at the wheel.

cause of the trouble. What found
was that the front cover plate over
the valves was not screwed down
tight. 1t stuck out enough to catch
the air from the fan. and this served
to dry of the vaives. The same sort
of thing is happening with some of
the valve-in- the-head motors where
the owners don't put the valve cover
on properly. Air blows in through
some opening in the front and dries
up the oil. A valve sticks; and the
driver is in for a little trouble. 1t

a valve makes isn't half as bad as
the trouble 1t gives when 1t sticks.
And it's the cause of this sticking

When one of his intake valves stuck
he had to leave the car here, yet the
cause Of the trouble was nothing un-
usual. The valves got too dry. and
one Of them stuck in its guide. That's

II the driver approaches the top OF
