THE ACID TEST
(By The federated Press)

Washington.-There is one acid test
that will bring cut the true color of
every alleged progressive elected TO,
the next congress. 1t is called gov
eminent ownership Tor every industry
which congress has tried for 20 years
to regulate and failed
Bills aiming to cut straight through
the vain and wasteful pretense of reg
uIation. and providing for straight pub
lie ownership of the following indus
tries are likely to be introduced in
both houses of congress during the
coming year.
Railroads, telegraphs and tele-
phones, water power development. coal
mines, grain elevators, steamships.
meat packing plants.
Backers of this movement contend
that any legislator who at this late
day is still afraid of public ownership
of natural monopolies should not be
allowed to call himself a progressive
or appeal for votes as an enemy of
special privilege.
With the collapse of the ship sub
sidy plan the time is thought especial
ly opportune to strike for straight gov
eminent ownership of the merchant
marine. Reputation Of the Esch-
Cummins law, with its fake valuation,
rate fixing and labor board. is held
10 mean that government operation of
the transportation lines is inevitable.

NO REGARD FOR
WORKERS LIVES

New York.-Three recent fires, in
which Il persons lost their lives and
scores were injured have stirred labor
unions and civic bodies to call a con-
ference Dec. 4. One of the fires was
IN tenement, where I6 were killed.
Another was in factory, where one
man lost his life. The most recent
was celluloid factory where four
girls were killed. 1t is charged that
these deaths were due to Inadequate
enforcement Of the existing fire pre-
vention laws. but in still greater mea-
sure TO the repeal by the 1918 Iegis-
lature of fire laws enacted as a result
OF the Triangle shirtwaist factory ira
gedy in which dozens of girls were
trapped. The emasculation of The
fire laws on this occasion was ena;n-
eered by a millionaire member Of The
legislature who owned big canning
factory.

ANTI-WAR JAPANESE

Washington.-Japanese liberals re-
port new combination of societies OPP
posed to militarism. Reporting the
consolidation Of eight groups opposed
to war and imperialism. Isamu Kawa-
kami writes to the National Council
for the Prevention of War, this city,
as follows:
"The National Council Of japan
(the new society is undertaking first
a cooperative movement for the reduc-
ton of ornaments. but it does not l.
nit its activity to this alone. ANY
peace and International problem
which needs national action will be
handled by the National Council for
Reduction of Armaments. This is pro-
badly the first time that the different
women's organizations in Japan have
come together in a cooperative move
ment and it is practically the first time
that the women of Japan have organ
lied for what is in some respects a
political purpose. Until the law was

women to attend political meetings or

UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD
ALONE CAN SAVE CIVILIZATION
lBr The Fsderalsd Pressl

New York. When DR.. John
Haynes Holmes. preaching here in the
Community church, charged the Am
erican legion with lawIessness and mob
terrorism. C. W. A. Cannon. vice-com-
mander of the legion in New York
state. made the angry retort that DR..
Holmes was more interested in the wei
fare Of Germany than America. Then
the legion official added regretfully:
There is nothing we can do to pun
ish him. He is protected now because
there is no war and we must recognize
the law Of free speech"
DR.. Holmes reply was to reiterate
Ills charges, and he did ii with vigor.
II meant every word | said" he de-
-clared. The Fascist is a combination
Of the American legion and the Ku
KIux Khan. Both are lawless and both
exert mob rule to get what they want.
This was especially true of the Ameri-
can legion two years ago. The Fas-
cisti IN Italy has been ignoring the con-
stitution Of the state. That is exactly
what the legion and the Ku Klux Khan
has done.
Il also meant what | said when |
told my hearers it was tragedy for an
American TO fight for his flag. There
were four flags on the dais. They were
the municipal, the state. the national,
and the international flags.
Il illustrated the history Of similar
flags. For instance. in the middle
ages Genoa declared war on Florence.
Two cities could not fight now. Then
the southern states declared war on the
United States. That could not be re-
peated; mans vision has advanced as
civilization has enveloped the universe.
Then in the last great war nation
alists fought one another pointed
to the international flag. which repre-
sents the brotherhood of man. When
all men are under that flag there will
be no more bIoodshed. And unless
the international flag conquers thru
the spreading of the doctrines of uni
versal brotherhood. civilization thru
out the world IS going to be wrecked.
That's what | said. | repeat it"

THE LAWS OF THE DEAD
(By liz Federated Pressl

Washington.-Women and children
must work for any wage they can gel
from the boss In competitive bargain
ing, and any law to fix minimum
wage is violation of the constitution.
That verdict has just been rendered
here by the court of appeals of the
District of Columbia. IF the supreme
court of the U. S. shall uphold this
decision every minimum wage law in
the country will be nulIified.
Life, liberty and property must be
protected first if government is to en-
dure, says the court. and the most pre-

When ball bearings become worn II
is not always necessary to have COM
plete new bearings Installed. The old
ones can be repaired and be almost
as good as new.
An empty oil can, in addition to the

carry In the car. 1t may be filled with
gasoline for priming the cylinders or
cleaning spark plugs.
A simple but frequently forgotten
precautlon In regard to filling the gas
oline tank Is that the mouth of the
gasoline can should be carefully wiped
off before filling to remove any dust
or dirt that may have lodged there.
Just polishing up the points when

MODERN METHODS
KEEP AUTOS new
Several Excellent Liquid and Wax
PoIishes on Market Give
Admirable Results.
sPRAYER USEFUL ON SURFACE
Owner Must Not Assume That New
and Helpful Aids In seautlfyins
Have Superseded Water-cars
Must Be Washed.

The present-day owner using mod
ern methods may keep his car looking
new all the time, nor will he have to
spend more than few moments day
to accomplish this end. For Instance,
there are now on the market q number
Of liquid and wax polishes which will
give admirable results II they are used
as directed.
In the use Of wax polishes the first
step is to clean the body of the car
thoroughly. The polish is applied to
the surface with piece Of cheese
cloth and then another clean cloth is
used to distribute the wax evenly all
over the surface. Car owners COM
monty make the mistake of thinking
that the more wax applied the better.
As matter Of fact very thin Aim
is all that is reeded. The polish will
last for from four days to a week. and
after 1t has been applied at the begin
ming OF the week a little rubbing with
clean cloth will bring out the luster
again. The wax polish may be used
for body, tenders, hood and other luis
that II the under side of the tenders
Is cleaned and given a good coating
Of wax less mud will be deposited and
what is there may be ensily removed
Spray Polish.
The most recent type of body polish
is that which is sprayed on the suface
with large sprayer. In using this pol
ish the body must be thoroughly
cleaned with water. If the body sur
faces are merely dusty the polish may
be sprayed on and then be wiped Off
with clean cloth. After spraying the
polish over the surface a piece of
cheeseclOth is used to wipe off the
excess.
The present-day owner must not
assume that these new and really USE
full aids to beautifying the motorcar
have superseded plain water The con-
trary Is true. The car must be washed
just as formerly. after which the new
polishes will bring out the luster of the
original finish.
Soap should never be used on the
body except for removing grease or oil
spots. A small piece Of soft cloth,
well covered with CASTLE soap suds,
serves very well to remove grease from
the panels. The hood should never be
washed while 1t Is hot, as this will re-
suit In discoloration. In cleaning the
radiator send stream of water from
the rear instead of the front. to keep
moisture out Of the mechanism.
Use 4 chamois.
In drying the body clean chamois
skin should be used, rubbing being
done in straight lines. II spots Of tar
or road oil are found on the body 1t is
best to treat them with salt. butter or
kerosene. The butter softens the de-
posit so that 1t may be wiped off easily.
Kerosene should be applied locally and
wiped off within a minute.
To keep pace with the improved ap-
pearance of the body 1t is necessary
to give some attention to the top and
the upholstery. A weekly brushing
of the top inside and out will aid ma
terially In Its life. Fabric tops should
never be. cleaned with gasoline, kero-
sene or other oils, as they tend to de-
stroy the rubber in the top. CASTLE
sonp and water applied with Il stiff
brush is the best cleansing medium
for the top.
