WINTER is Time
TO vARNISH CAR
Much Pleasure Given to Owner
if His Automobile Has Good
Outward Appearance.
MINOR DEFECTS NOT VISIBLE
Necessary That All Parts to Be Paint
ed Should Be Thoroughly Washed
and Sandpapered-keep in
Fairly Warm Room.

Half the enjoyment of owning a car
comes from the fact that 1t has a good
appearance. 1t may run well and ride
very comfortably, but it is an eyesore
and a heart-break If it looks dirty,
paint is cracked or varnish is dull and
~lusterless. How different the car which
shines in the splendor of a perfect coat
of paint and varnish, even If there are
minor defects, known only to the own
er or the expert.
1t takes time to do n good job of re-
moving paint and varnish on an auto
mobile, and the new coat should have
plenty of time to dry and harden. For
this reason a good time to do this work
Is in winter, especially in those cases
where cars are put in the garage and
laid up for the winter. The owner will
then be ready to drive out in good
style on the first nice spring day.
If the owner is not so particular
about an exceptionally high class job
of painting, he can clean the car thor
oughly and paint 1t himself at much
less expense than he can hire 1t done.
Two Things Necessary.
Two of the things necessary in max
ing a smooth-looking paint job are the
following:
First-All parts to be painted must
be thoroughly washed and then
smoothed off by %sandpaper or steel
wool, and all Of the dust brushed or
rubbed off.
Second-The car must be placed in
a fairly warm room where there is no
dust, as n little dust on the paint be-
fore 1t is dry will spoil the looks Of
any paint job.
II the paint is not worn Off. but is
merely somewhat checked and dulled.
1t may be preserved by applying a o
of good varnish, making sure that the
car is first thoroughly washed. dried
and then smoothed of with fine sand
paper. If the paint has worn entirely
through In spots and the metal parts
are beginning to rust. the only way to
preserve these parts and keep them
from becoming spoiled entirely Is to
have the car thoroughly cleaned and
painted.

WOMEN TO HELP FRAME
PLAN FOR WESTCHESTER
Bill for Forming City to Be
Introduced Wednesday.

With a view of bringing about
eventually the transformation of West
chester county into the "City of Wes.-
chester" it was learned yesterday that
a bill will be introduced in the Legisia-
ture on Wednesday that will enlarge
from seven to thirty-two members
State commission to devise new form
of government for Westchester.
In April, 1914. the Legislature passed
a special law naming Henry r. Barrett
of White Plains. Mayor Edwin w. Fiske
Of Mount Vernon. Clifford Couch of
Peekskill. Daniel Hayes of Pleasantville.
ex-Mayor Harry L. Colwcll OF New
Rochelle, ]. Mayhem Wainwright and
william J. Wallin of Yonkers as COM
mittee to suggest new and better form
or government, but nothing definite was
done.
n Now that women may vote II vas
decided to increase the size OF the cont
mission so that prominent women and
representative citizens may he part OF
the committee. and they Will be named
in new bill. AS soon as the comnis-
sion is named it will Immediately taHe
up the question Of making Wes.chestor
city.
According TO the latest plan the city
of Westchester would be divided Into

CITY PLAGUE SPOT
OF DRUGS, is FINDING
State Legislation to Control
Supply Demanded by Mar
cOtic League.

Traficking' in narcotics in New York
has made the city ''the plague spot OF
the United States" according to stephen
r. Anderton, trustee OF the newly or
ganized Narcotic Drug Control League.
Mr.. Anderton made that declaration yes
terday in explaining the need for legis-
lation in this State. He attributed the
vast increase in crimes of violence TO
drug addiction. and said the2lack of legis-
lation to control the situation was a
responsibility that rests on the citizens
OF both the city and State.
Figures quoted by NJ. Anderton re-
vealed that the number of drug addicts
sent to Sing Sing prison in 1920 In
creased Ito per cent. over 1919. and for
last year an increase of 80 per cent.
over 1920. Not alone. has addiction
increased beyond all proportions in the
city but the manufacturing of habit
forming drugs has increased TO the point
where last year Sl,042 ounces of mar
cotics were shipped out of New York.
The previous year CLIO ounces, OF
almost three tons, were sent out OF the
city.
Another startling fact developed is
that while we have called China the
'drugged nation to-day our percentage
of addiction is about one-third that OF
China the statement said. "The latter
country to-day is begging US to stop
sending drugs into China that have been
manufactured here. From one port
alone, Seattle. in 1919, we exported three
and three-quarter tons of morphine, near
ly half a ton of cocaine and ten tons OF
crude ophium. or enough for more than
6, 900 900 average medicinal doses"
Mr.. Andertou said there is no legisla-
tion in this State at present to curb the
trafiicking in habit forming drugs. TINS
condition, he said. was taken up Satur-
day at the convention of the State Bar
Associa ton, and ii was decided that a
bill be sent Immediately to the Leglsia'
ture. The matter was turned over TO the
executive committee of the associatioi
30 there might be no delay. a speclal
committee of the association was d.
rected to be selected by William u
Guthrie to cooperate with the league, the
American Medical As0,c;ation, the Acad-
envy of Medicine and all other bodies
fighting the drug evil.

BIRTH CONTROL RAID
UP IN INQUIRY TODAY
Leaders of Protest Fear
WhiteWash by Hirshfield.

Hearing on the action of the police in
breaking up a birth control meeting at
Town Hall last November 13 and the
arrest Of Mrs Margaret Sanger and
Mrs. Juliet Barrett Rublee. birth control
advocates. is 10 begin this morning be-
fore David Hirshfield, Commissioner of
Accounts.
The Investigation is being held on or
der of Mayor Hylan after storm of
protest against what was said to be un-
warranted police Interference with free
speech and the failure of either the
police or the District Attorney TO take
remedial action after the release of the
prisoners when admittedly there was no
evidence for charge against them
the Mayors reference Of the matter to
Commissioner Hirshfield followed a
formal letter from ten prominent men
and several organizations.
The protests to the Mayor included
requests for the removal OF W. Martin
Dolphin. Assistant Corporation Counsel.
and Police Department members alleged
to have been responsible for the disrup-
tion OF the meeting and the arrests.
The first announcement by Commits
sioncr Hirshfield on receipt of the
Mayors order for an investigation. was
that he would go also into an investi-
CATION of birth control itself.
Leaders Of the protests say they fear
that the inquiry into the movement is
an attempt TO bccloud the issue and
throw a smoke screen around allegedly
indefensible acts of the Police Depart
ment. They contend that The sole issue
Is the authority OF the police in breaking
up peaceable public meetings and arrest
ing persons connected witlN such meet
lngs without being able to produce cvi-
dence 10 warrant such arrests. and also
who is responsible for such acts.
An examination into birth control. Il
Is contcnded. Is entirely aside from the
question and can have no bearing on the
action Of the police. The only excuse
for Introduction Of the matter. Il Is
stated. is to divert the course of the in
quiry from the vulnerability of the police
action so the public mind may be cen.
tered on some other object. and thus the
police may be forgotten.

recent statement that the churches
should cooperate with the amusement
producers i'm an effort to obtain more
wholesome amusement. DR.. Miller said :
II am just as much opposed TO indie
cent forms Of dancing and filthy plays
as my distinguished critic. ] do not
question his deep sincerity and have
considerable admiration for his fearless
and stalwart qualities. But ! believe
he Is q misguided crusader. lie delights
in lurid denunciation. and his attack on
one play two years ago sent swarm
OF curious and morbid to the box office
and insureG its success.
but my good friend yearns to debate,
and debate he shall. any Sunday even
ing at the Hanson Place Methodist
Church. at his convenience. But. in
asmuch as the young people in practi-
caIly all of our churches, probably Cal

and dance. the question as TO whether
they should do so or not Is rather
academic. II seems more practical in

tolerant and cooperative spirit to inn
prove conditions.

this question with the Manhattan diYine.

cloud. Half blinded he ran into the room
with an extinguisher. shouting TO the
bellboys and watchmen to follow him.
They could see no flame, but in one cor
ner the floor was hot and blackened and
at that point they directed the chemical
streams. A line of hose was brought in

was washed down, but the smoke con-
tinued to roll out Nelson decided then
