BRAKE EXAMINATIONS
PREVENT AUTO CRASHES
Motorists Should Keep Close
Watch OH Innings and
Drums.

Periodic brake examinations. by car
owners themselves. is the cheapest
and easiest measure for avoiding ac-
cidents and keeping out of trouble
with the police. in the opinion of j.
W. Perry. general manager of the
automotive department of Johns
Manville. Inc. who outlined yester-
day dozen simple rules for keeping
brakes in good working order.
Adjust the brakes every thirty
days. maintaining between the brake
lining and the drum. all the way
around. clearance of about one
sixty-fourth of an inch.
Keep the right and left wheel brakes
operating with equal pressure. To
test this out. jack up the rear wheels.
start motor. and with car in high
gear. apply the brakes. Both wheels
should slow down uniformly.
Keep the brake lining clear of oil.
road grit and metal particles.
Clean the brake lining with kero-
sene once every two or three months.
Remove glazed spots on the brake
lining by roushening the surface with
a round or half-round file.
Tighten regularly all lock nuts and
rivets, TO avoid loosening the turn
buckles. and scoring the brake drums.
Keep the foot pedal and hand lever
in proper position. so that the foot
pedal will never go down far enough
to strike the floor board and so that
the hand lever will never pull back
and strike in its slot.
Test both brakes before starting.
Apply the brakes slowly.
Never let the tires slide.
Use the motor as a brake on hills.
Try out your brakes under various
conditions and see how quickly the
car will stop: then in service always
add liberal margin of safety.

automobile manufacturing cities, will be
a big display Of new body types and
low priced inclosed cars.

I'm rlosin' up the old shop for the
holiday season, I'm notifyin' my
many friends and readers throughout
the country that there won't be any
talks about cars and repairs until the
New Year sets in. But today, in
keepin' with the spirit of the Christ
mas time, I want to offer my best
smile and good will to all, especially
to the folk who subscribe to the hon
est sport Of men. the equal privileges
for women. and to those broad and
human everyday philosophers who
believe that life was given us to en-
joy and that happiness is the pinnacle
OF success. I give greetings also to
the Old Scrooges Of the world-the
narrow. the unenlightenec. the men
and women who have not learned
how to live. I bid them be of good
cheer and to endeavor to broaden
with kindly thoughts and sit down at
the feast table with those who nave
learned the better way. i bid the
sorrowful remember that there are
few conditions in life which couldn't
be worse and recommend an imme-
diate search for the silver linin' TO
be found in every cloud. To all who
would have a Merry Christmas l say:

The ChristmaS Highway.

Twenty centuries ago the Christmas
highway was laid. The engineers
were three kings who came out OF
the east bearing gifts to newborn
journeyed from different directions.
unknown to each other until the star
which guided all three brought them
together on the road to Bethlehem.
These kings did not travel in lux
urious limousines, as even ordinary
people do In these times: instead they
rode on clumsy camels, journeying
for days and nights to negotiate
distance that we in our high powered
motor cars could cover today i'll few
hours. They carried the most rare and
precious treasures of the orient and laid
ship at the young Childs feet. Then.
empty-handed, but full-hearted, as
only givers can be. they returned to
the countries from whence they came.
And ever since, every year through
the centuries. other wise men have
laden with gifts for the Christ child
They have gone a-foot: they have
ridden in all ways and in all convey =
ances: they have gone by water. by
land. by steam. by motor; but. how
ever they travel. or what gifts they
bring. the same intention. like the
star in the east. guides them and
brings them together in love on the
common road to Christmas.
Today. moro than ever in history.
the wise men will go to Bethlehem
by motor. What runs downtown
through Kaleidoscope streets from
shop to shop: what errands and what
visits from house to house of friends;
what generous exchange of hospi-
tality: what journeys Of cheer and
charity-to a hospital ward with a
Christmas tree and basket. to an
orphanage with stockings. to the the
slums. to a bereaved home. around
the park with an invalid. 10 the
theater with a joy-starved child. See
what highway of happiness lies be-
fore the fortunate owner of a motor
car.
So he like the wise men of the east.
friends and fellow motorists. and
follow the Christmas star to Bethle-
hem with the best you have to offer.
Then and there, though YOU return
with empty cars, will you know in its
fullness the joy and recompense that
paves the Christmas highway.
Traffic reformers are too often per-
sons who know just how road use
could be made absolutely safe
through merely changing the ways

Easy With the Junk!

The motorist who. is always going
through his side pockets with view
to throwing away everything that
doesn't seem to have any particular
value is simply throwing money IN
the gutter. Sometimes the most use
less articles are the most valuable
in an emergency. Nothing that will
stop a leak. stop a rattle. tie a broken
part together. reach into an in
accessible place or do the work OF a
special tool should be thrown away.
It may come in handy some time
somewhere. This is usually ten miles
from the nearest garage.

In less than a week we will know
the fate of the proposed $5,00O,000
school bond amendment. -
In this district, at least, there does
not seem to be any concerted action
against the worthy project. The va
rious civic and other organizations
here and all over. the city seem to be
unit in favor of the proposition.
When one stops to figure the real
need for the additions and improve
ments to our present school system
as provided by the $5,0O0,O0O plan, it
seems incredulous to believe that any
right thinking person would object to
this absolute necessity.
The figures have not been exag-
gerated or padded when speakers in
favor of the measure have told the
people of the number of children who
must be content to go to school for
only half day at a time just for
the want Of adequate quarters.
Some Of the buildings being used
at the present. time for school pur-
poses are veritable fretraps and the
educational department are living in
constant dread of fire breaking out
almost any day in anst one Of a num-
Der Of these old ramshackle build
ings that are now serving to house
the rising generation and taking a
toll Of young lives that would leave
a stain on the name Of St. Paul for
all time to come. "Too late" is a sad
verdict and every man and woman in
the city will agree that to pick up a
paper and read of dozen or more
lives being sacrificed in one of these
obsolete fretraps would bring sor-
row, shame and disgrace that would
never be forgotten.
In submitting the $5,000,000 prop
osition, the educational department
has made a careful and exhaustive
study Of the needs CT the various
sections Of the city and they prom
Use to spend the money where it is
needed and will do the most good.
The idea being to do away with the
congestion and provide adequate and
safe school buildings all over the city.
There have been many meetings in
this community in the past few
weeks and speakers have outlined the
departments plan to hundreds of
listeners and at every meeting the
proposition has received hearty en-
dorsement and many citizens have
left the meetings and gone out and

worked hard for it's passage.
Under the building plan provided
by the $5,O00,00O amendment there
will be eight old school buildings
condemned and they are the Mat
tocks, Jackson, Monroe, Webster,
Deane, old Ames and Washington.
The Monroe and Webster, however,
will be used for housing special
classes but only in such rooms as are
safe and we'll lighted and in good
condition.
All buildings now in use and not
to be condemned will be remodeled
to bring them up to the established
Standard
Under the plan, there will be 10
new school buildings and II addi-
tons added to the school system and
the cost is figured at about $4,000
per room.
In the erection of new buildings
and renodeling of the old ones, pref
erence will be given to St. Paul con-
tractors but it is mandatory upon
contractors doing the work to employ
labor that resides in St. Paul.
Therefore, the construction work will
employ many men here.
From every angle, the $5,0OO,OOO
plan is the most practical that could
be adopted and in fact the only one
that will positively do away with the
present deplorable condition of the
city's school system and it is the one
that every voter ;:hould support at
the polls on November 7.
From the present outlook the
amendment will pass by a comfort
able majority over the city. In the
First ward here, however, we have
what is conceded to be the most pro-
gressive district in the city. The
S5,o00,OOO plan is a progressive meas
ure in every sense Of the word and
one which our people should take
hold Of and pass not by a comfort
able but by an overwhelming ma
jority.

EVERY CHILD IN OUR CITY A

HARDING TO GIVE
AUDIENCE TO LEAGUE
Lodge Arranges Meeting With Pres
ideni for National Equal Rights
Delegation With Dyer Bill
Extra Session Petition
at Noon Nov. 4.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 81, 1922.-To-
day Senator Henry Cabot Lodge tele-
phoned to National Headquarters of
the National Equal Rights League at
"a Cornhill, that in response to his
request, sent at the leagues solicita-
ton, he had received a telegram from
the Presidents secretary stating that
the President would grant an audi
ence to the league to present it's Pc
tition on the Dyer bill extra session
at noon of Saturday, November 4.
The league started the petition for
an extra session soon after congress
had adjourned without reaching con-
sideration Of the Dyer anti-lynching
bill, as a means of expediting, if not
actually saving, the bill which was
left next on the calendar to the
librarian loan bill.
Thousands of signatures have. been
secured from over Is different states.
One is from the Presidents home
town, Marion, Ohio, another is from
Tulsa, Okla, several from Georgia
and Mississippi.
The petition will be sent by a mes
senger from Boston who will conduct
the audience. The point sought will
be to get the President to specify the
Dyer bill in his call. -. 1T
The race is asked to- send such a
request to the President from Sunday
on-individually, through churches,
lodges and organizations, and from
all political meetings held Monday
night; also to ask their senators and
congressman to write the President.

VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS

Before another issue of THE
APPEAL appears, the people of
Minnesota will have chosen the men
they desire to place in charge of the
affairs of this state
1t is the duty of patriotic Ameri-
cans to elect a Republican congress
to sustain the President in the hand
ling of the great problems CT the
country.
The records show that Demo-
cratic congress cannot be trusted to
promptly and properly handle war
work. Many of the big war meas
ures would have failed if they had
not had the loyal support of the Re-
publicans. AS an illustration, the Sc
lective service law which the Demo-
Gratis tried to defeat, was forced
through congress by the Republican
members. And there were many
other similar cases. The records
show that the Democrats never lost
an opportunity to show their oppo-
sition to the Republican program of
preparedness.
So far as the colored people are
concerned, the Democratic party is
the hereditary foe of the race.
A Democratic congress would be a
dire peril as it would have the power
to enact the most outrageous jim
crow legislation. -..
1t is the duty of every colored vot-
er to cast his ballot for a Republi-
can for congress, in order to properly
uphold the President in conducting
the affairs Of the country and also
to aid the race in the battle for JUS
tice. -

GOOD BUSINESS SENSE

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
is clearly right in expressing the
opinion that stock dividends are not
income. Stock is merely share in
the business. If company has
property worth million dollars, rep
resented by 10000 shares of stock,
each share being worth 500, and the
stock be increased to 10000 shares,
that. does not add one dollar to the
value Of the property or to the value
Of any stockholders interest. He
gets two shares worth $50 each in
the place Of one share worth 500.
IT you have an apple and cut it in
half. that does not give you two APP
pies. You have no added income. If
you have a farm Of 100 acres and
cut it, into two fields of SO acres each,
you have not added to your holdings.
The increase in the number of shares
ct stock is exactly the same PROPOSE
ton, and it ought not require any ar
gument whatever to make the fact
clear. MI. Mellon has applied ordi-
nary business sense to q legal prop
