DO NOT BE IN HURRY
IN STORMY WEATHER
Some Drivers Have Real Fear
Something May Happen.
Careful Inspection of Car Before Be
ginning Lengthy Journey and
Use Of Plenty Of Common
Sense Are Essential.

Some automobile drivers have real
fear of driving in the winter rains
along city pavements and country
highways. There is a constant dread
in the mind that something adverse
may happen at a critical moment; the
car may skid, something may go
wrong with the steering gear or the
automobile may fail to perform up TO
the proper standard In negotiating
steep grade
Fears of winter driving would be
greatly lessened," declared E. f. Gals
ter, director of sales for the Standard
Steel Automotive corporation, "if the
motorist would use plenty of common
sense in the matter of actual driving
together with a careful inspection of
his automobile before lengthy jour
ney Is undertaken. One of the really
great errors that a driver can make
in travelling during the winter months
Is to imagine that he can proceed at
the same rate Of speed that is pos
sible during the dry months.
"Of course, the pavements, after the
oil has been washed off by the early
rains, are in no sense danger, yet
it Is well to observe proper precaution
and play safe. The reason for driving
at slower speed in the winter
months than during the summer Is that
motorcar cannot be brought to an
abrupt stop as easily on wet pave
ment as is the case on dry stretch
of roadway. The brakes may he ap-
piled but If the car is going at nigh
rate of speed it is not at all certain
that 1t will not slide just enough to
couse n collision at a curve or rail-
road crossing"

Elaborate Plan for Outlawry of Mars

TROM Chicago to President Hard
r. ing has come from the American
Committee for the Outlawry of
War a resolution favoring an lnterna-
tional plan. Salmon L. Levinson says
he and the late Senator Knox of
PENNSYLVANIA worked on 1t for IS
months and that Senator Knox would
have championed 1t before the arms
conference had he lived.
The plan calls for "a conference of
all the civilized nations to be called
for the creation and codification of in
ternational law; the code to contain,
among other things, the following:
The further use of war as an In
stitution for the settlement of inter-
national disputes shall be abolished.
War between nations shall be de-
clared to be public crime punish
able by the law of nations.
War shall be defined in the code
and the right of defense against ac-
.ual or imminent attack shall be pre-
served.
All annexations, eXactions, or seiz-
ures by force, duress or fraud shall
be null and void.
An International court, with affirm
ative jurisdiction over purely inter
national disputes, shall be created,

Auxiliary Naval Craft in Time of War

x TAVAL officials are urging that
IN President Harding and the ship
ping board, In submitting ship
subsidy program to congress, develop
a scheme which will encourage the
construction and maintenance of YES
sells which can be used as auxiliary
naval craft In time of war.
Considerations involved in the ma
tional defense may cause the admin
istratiOn to approve the formula for
determining the amount OF subsidy to
be paid ship owner which is favored
by naval experts, rather than the for
mula approved by the American mer-
chant marine Joint committee, made
up of ship owners, operators, and
builders.
The American merchant marine
Joint committee, in its recommends
tions submitted to the ship subsidy
conference, held under the auspices
of the shipping board, urged that the
subsidy be paid under the Gallinger
plan of so much a gross ton a year,
and that the faster passenger ships be
encouraged by means of u postal sub
vention.
The Gallinger plan, which was ap-
proved by the congressional commits
sion headed by the late Senator Gal
linger In 1905, was one of the three
alternatives suggested in the prelim-

THB bill Oh. r. 62G2) to add GER
tain lands to Mount Mckinley
National park, Alaska, came up
before the senate the other day. The
purpose Is to add lands on the east
of the park to include breeding ter
ritory of the Wild game and to bring
the park nearer to the government
railroad now nearing completion.
Then ensued this between the two
senators from Utah:
Mr.. King-Mr. President, l am In
sympathy with the general purpose of
this bill, but 1 desire to prepare an
amendment so that under certain con-
ditions and restrictions mineral ex-
ploration may be permitted. AS the
law now reads, lands that are with
drawn and attached to national parks
may not be prospected under any con-
dltion for minerals, and this land,
according to the information which l
have, might be prospected without

any interference with the scenic
beauties or the legitimate purposes
for which the national park was or
ganized. If my colleague will let the
bill go over shall be obliged to him.
Mr.. Smoot-The general land Of
flee is now engaged in marking out
the boundaries Of the park. The SEN
ator knows the conditions in Alaska.
The men are there already to do the
work, and If this is not accomplished
and the whole survey made by ths
latter part of June 1t will have to go
over again.
Mr.. King-I know my colleague and
I entertain the same views as to the
right to mine, If it can be done with
out interfering with the legitimate
purposes of the park, and l am sure
that the officials of the Interior de-
partment, with such little aid as l
may give, can work out a plan that
will be satisfactory.
Mr.. Smoot-Thls Is a department
bill. 1t was sent to me to be intro
duced, and, of course, the depart
ment makes a favorable report upon
it. There was favorable report made
upon it once before. 1t is house
bill. and passed the house without any
opposition whatever.
Mr.. King said he would call the at
tention of the department to it i'm
mediately. And the bill was passed

mary recommendations of the COM
mlttee of experts appointed by the
shipping board. OF the other two al
ternatives proposed by the experts,
one contemplated reimbursement on
the basis of SO 1-3 per cent of the sea
wages paid to officers and crew who
are American citizens.
The other proposed a differential
based on a combination of speed, ton
mage and distance covered, or, in 9th
er words, the payment of certain
number of cents a gross ton for each
100 miles steamed In the foreign
trade.
Compilations which have been made
by the shipping board experts indicate
the need of about 100 ships in the
American merchant marine suitable
for naval auxlliaries. At present
there are only about forty such ships.

PROPER CHAINS SAVE TIRES
Without Them Wheels Tend to Spin
Around More or Less Rapidly on
Slippery Surfaces.

Many motorists seem to believe that
tire chains induce wear; not If they
are properly used. Without tire
chains the drive wheels tend to spin
around more or less on slippery sur
faces. Sharp pieces of stone, cinders
and other similar material in the road
cut the rubber and scrape it deeply,
a condition that does not arise when
the chains are in place.

GOOD TEST FOR VENT PIPES

Indicated by Overflow Of Water
Over End.

In filling the radiator of the car,
allow enough water to pass in to
bring the level over the end of the
vent pipe. If this pipe is clear, as it
always should be, the fact will be
indicated by the overfiowing of the
water through it. If 1t is not clear.
the water will overflow through the
filter cap and not through the vent
pipe, which should be attended to at
once.
