OPPOSITION TO BONUS

Much opposition is sprtnging up to the proposed soldier bonus, since the Presidential message, the greater part of which, of course, is from men who have their thinking like their candi- date, advanced by the bosses. MT. Mel Mellon's figures, presented to the ad- ministration in his report, claim that it will cost from three to five billion dollars per year to pay the bonus. The American Legion, a publication deVot- ed to the interests of the veterans, claims that it will cost the government SSO.0000O0 year, for a certain term of years MT Mellon is against the bonus, and the Legion paper is for it. Hence the discrepancy in figures.
 Another argument advanced agalnsC the bonus is that the veterans them- selves are against it, and compensa- ton is wanted only by few ne'er-do wells and spendthrifts. There is noun ling farther from the truth than this, but It IS a SOOu CdulpdlSu al Suiiioh'' and persists. At each American Le- zion convention for the past several years, there has been an increasing .1iemand for the payment of compensa- ton to the veteran, according to hls term of service. This has been the bone of contention, all being agreed the government should pay them the difference between what they made in the war and what they would have made if they had remained home with the bonus objectOrs.
 The republicans have come out tat footed against the bonus. It now re- mains to be seen if the Legionnalres are willing to lick the hand that chas- tises them or knock the everlasting stuffing out of the organization by voting for the man who is in favor of compensation.

ASSAULT ON AGED MAN IS
 CAUSE OF INVESTIGATION

Anchorage is in the throes of one of the official scandals, so common during the present regime. It appears that one Charles Watson guard un- der Deputy Staser beat up an aged prisoner, subject to epileptic fits. The man was taken to the hospital in a dazed condition. The city council in- vestigated the matter and found out from testimony from the marshaps ol- fee that the man was a Swede, and therefore had beating coming to him. Huie Goodell, another guard who call : ed the attention of the deputy to the Swede's condition was fired pronto, for sympathizing with Swede, and there you are. Another Hagen case. If a man is a Swede, beat him up; if he is aged and has epileptic fits, hit him again.

AUTOS ARE DAMAGED
BY CARELESS OWNER
Attention Called to Useless Wear
and Waste of Gas.
Passenger Car Drivers Should Follow
Example Of Racing Car Pilots
and Slow Down for Turns
Start Engine Smoothly.

There Is too much carelessness In
automobile driving declared an au-
tomotive engineer, in calling attention
to the useless wear and tear on the
car, combined with reckless waste of
gasoline.
Did you eyer notice." he added,
"how some drivers take turns?
"A honk of the horn-a rush of air
and they're gone-if the road is clear.
If 1t isn't the brakes lock with a slam,
the wheels slide, there's a smell of
burned rubber, the clutch is Olsen
gagged, the motor races its head off.
And what does this all mean? Use
less wear ON tires, excessive waste
OF gasoline and oil, severe strains on
the engine and certain damage TO the
brakes.
The greatest racing car pilots
slow down for the turns on the track.
They do that because they know how
10 get the best results. / cannot fig
ure out why some passenger car driv-
ers don't use the same good judgment
Its absolutely unnecessary to race
a motor In making a stop. In start
ing all one has to do is to speed W
the motor Just enough to pull away
from the curb smoothly.
II feel pretty strongly on this sub.
ject. and | believe that a little extra
caution on the part of every automo
bile owner will make Ii possible fol
all of us to get the utmost out OF
every drop of gasoline and oil we use
and at the same time prolong the life
Of our cars"

WINTER DANGERS
IN DRIVING CAR
Careful Driver Will First See That
His Brakes Are Properly
Adjusted by an Expert.
TIRES SHOULD Be INSPECTED
Chains Should Be Used on Rear
Wheels at All Times When
Streets Are Wet or lcy-Wind-
shield Clear of Moisture.

Snow, sleet, ice, slush and mud pre-
sent a constant danger TO the motor
list during the winter. Extreme care
should be taken when operating in
this kind of weather to see that minor
points are observed or n bad col
lision will result.
The careful owner will first look
to his brakes and see that they are
adjusted by an expert 50 that they
will not grab uneyenly.
The worst thing that could happen
to an owner is probably the driving
of a car during the months when the
streets are icy with improperly ad-
justed brakes.
Peril of Skidding.
Brakes in this condition mean tnat
when they are applied suddenly. or
even slowly but firmly, one wheel
will be slowed down more than the
other, and the result Is a positive
side slip or skid, which may end in
the death of some one, the wrecking
of n car or injury to another machine
passing or parked at this spot.
The front tires should also be in
speeted, and care should be taken to
see that they have a tread on them,
as these rubber grooves give a GER
tain amount of traction necessary for
steering.
Ii Is preferable TO use chains on
all four wheels, but when 1t is found
that only two chains are available dc
not. under any pretext, or on the ad-
vice Of any friend. put n on a front
wheel and another on the opposite
side, rear. This will result only in
the wearing of the rear tire on the
side where there Is no chain. and
will not in the least prevent skidding
I'm the same degree that chains on the
rear will.
Improper vision is also the source
of disastrous accidents. A wind
shield wiper to clear off Ice and
snow within a certain range In
front of the driver Is advisable. They
are inexpensive. and can be bought al
any accessory store at a small cost.
Windshield Coating Precautions.
Another excellent %precautlon tc
take is the coating Of the windshield
10 prevent sleet and snow sticking
and obscuring the view of the driver
A solution OF one ounce of water
two n of %glycerin, one-eightt
ounce of salt, II rubbed on the wind
shield in an up-and-down manner
will prevent this sticking OF snow ant
fee. II should be renewed from tim,
70 time.
