 A petition to put the rule into effect was circulated by Senator Curtis of Kansas. vice chairman of the republican Senate organization and 1t had more than the necessary 16 signers on the majority side.
 Republican leaders would not say when they would present the peti- ton to the vice president but 1t WAS not expected that this would be done for several days.
 The controversy as to a filibuster which has broken out several timeS since the tariff bill was called up two months ago. was renewed today after Senator Townsend. republican. Michigan, in a prepared speech charged that the democrats were de- laying the bill for political reasons. Senator Simmons, North Carolina, the democratic leader in the tariff fight. entered sharp denial and the discussion then became general with charges from the democratic side that the republicans were filibuster- ing their own bill.
 To support these counter charges the democrats pointed to what they called the republican side shows with monkey and clock" and to in- terruptions of democratic speakers on the tariff made by republican leaders. The matter of interrup- tions of speakers led to colloquy between Senators Harrison, demo- crat, Mississippi, and Shoot, republi- can. Utah. from which the gallery spectators appeared to draw consid- erable amusement. As the colloQuy progressed the crowd -broke into open laughter.

check the distributor head to make
sure that no cracks have developed
and that the contact points inside of
the head, carrying the current from
the distributor block through the
cable to the spark plug. are clean
These can be cleaned with u rub

LARGER TIRES AID
OVERLOADED CARS:
Maintenance Of Full Imitation
Pressure Should Accom-
pany Use.

When to use oversize pneumatic
tires and when not to is a. problem
that has worried many a motorist.
Each car owner can easily decioe
this question for himself by simple
ice expert of one of Americas largest
tire manufacturing concerns.
"Only two considerations are IN :
volved," he says. and the problem ls
by no means difficult one. one u
the elements for consideration is the
carry and the other relates to the oe-
gree of imitation at which the motor
ist prefers to use his tires.
Gar manufacturers usually apply
as original equipment tires OF a SIZE
sufficiently large to meet the car +
accessories and carrying full com
plement of passengers. To support
this load, however, it is necessary 10

with. respect to the weight Of the
load, it Is surprising how rapidly ex-

addition of an extra passenger or Two
occasionally, the tires are soon carry .
ing a load that is much in excess OF
the load the car manufacturer orig
inally figured on when he determined
the original tire size to be used.
ION the subject of imitation II mas
been found that car owners In their
desire for greater riding comfort are
prone to reduce the air pressure IN
their tires. running them much below
the pressure recommended by the tire
manufacturers. practice which leaos
to early tire failure.
IF car is subject to frequent
overlooking oversize tires should be
used. Moreover, to do away with the
operation of underinflated tires and
to enable the car user to gain the
maximum comfort possible consistent
with good tire mileage. 1t is neces-
sary to use oversize tires that are
capable of carrying the carload at
a lower proportionate pressure.
1T is clear that If it were not possi-
larger size tire to fit the size of rim
with which his car is equipped his
problem of tire mileage would be a
serious one The tire manufacturer
has recognized this problem and has
produced an oversize tire for each size
of rim, thus enabling him to equip his
car with oversize tires for the extra
loads.
Change OF Wheels.
Cases exist where the single-over-
sizing of tires is not sufficient to meet
the owners needs. In that case it Is
necessary that he either reduce his
loads or change his wheels and rims
to make possible the double OVERSEEING
of his tires. 1t is not considered good
practice to double-oversize tires with
out changing the rim equipment
Most car users will find that the
single-oversizing of tires will show
an improvement in their tire mileage.
an improvement that warrants the
extra cost of the oversize tires. AS to
the use of oversize tires for Fords and
cars of that class. il is exceedingly
important that oversize tires be used.

SOME MOTOR CAR TIPS
WORTH REMEMBERING
Brake Control.

Proper fabrication OF the brake-con-
troll mechanism Of motor car Is most
essential. Ease Of operation greatly
relieves the driving strain ard the
dangers existing when the brake
mechanism is not in proper condition.
It is of particular importance that
few drops of oil be placed on all
brake-operating yoke and shaft ends
at frequent intervals. This will pre-
vent rusting at these points.
Many cars are using excessive
quantities of gasoline In the motor
because Of dragging brakes, caused
by the brake mechanism being in such
poor condition that the brakes do
not fully release.
For safety, economy and driving
ease. all brake operating parts should
be kept well fabricated.
