THREE TESTED TIPS.

For all cleaning purposes. including
washing of bearings, cleaning brakes
and running boards, gasoline is always
to be preferred to kerosene for the
reason that it evaporates directly
after completing the job. Gasoline,
however should not be used for ex-
ternal cleaning of the engine; and
kerosene that is used for this pur-
pose should only be applied when the
power plant is cold
Any opening in the valve tappe I
compartment where warm air can
blow in is likely to result in drying
the valve stems and making them
stick. Such an opening. when found
can be plugged with felt.
\ little scheme that makes it easier
to back out of A, driveway is to make
little notch on the under side OF
the steering wheel nearest the driver
when the front wheels are in q
straight -ahe cad position. If.the driver
starts backing straight and keeps the
notch in the original position the car
ought not to run off it's course.

LABOR TAKES LEAD
IN AUTO PURCHASES
Greatest Number of Sales Made to
Skilled Mechanics in June,
Report Shows.

Skilled labor as a class became the
largest buyer of automobiles during
June. according to the distribution
figures of the Paige Detroit Motor
Car Company.
The distribution report received
last week showed that mechanics pur
chased more than twice as large a
percentage of cars as the next class.
The Iaboring class figure was l5.S
per cent. The next class was mer-
chants, who bought "A per cent.
These figures can be taken as a
barometer of automobile sales
throughout the United States" was
the suggestion of H. NJ. Jewett. presi-
dent of the company, in announcing
the distribution.
The distribution report of February,
which showed farmers leading and
statesmen and physicians close behind,
contrasts with the June report. In
the latter farmers have slipped into
tie for third place. purchasing Sc
per cent of the production. Building
trades also bought 6.6 per cent.
The executives and manufacturers
class. which led the field in May. pur-
chasing by far the largest percent
age, followed a bad sixth in June,
having purchased only per cent of
the production.
Statesmen were close behind. This
class bought 81 per cent Women
buying in their own names. which has
steadily been a large buying class
followed statesmen, buying 3.5 per cent
of the production.
Other classifcations in the distri-
button report and the percentage of
production they purchased follow:

This weeks vacation motor tour
for District motorists as outlined by
the Washington Motor Club is a COM
road, Perry highway. Great Lakes
highway, Buffalo highway and the
Susquehanna trail. The tour can be
made over excellent roads for the
entire distance, with the exception of
approximately seven miles south of

Gears Ii, Neutral,
Clutch Held Out,
Make Easy Start

The driver who wants to make a
quick start when the traffic officer
swings the sign to the welcome
"go" position is torn between two
difficulties.
IL he waits with the gears in
neutral" he usually finds that 1t
requires half minute or so after
throwing out the clutch before he
can shift quietly to low"
This annoyance-caused by the
spinning of the clutch-can be OBJ
waited by leaving the gears in low
and holding the clutch out dds
engaged. but there is always the
danger here of accidental starting
through slipping of the foot from
the clutch pedal. Many a pedes-
trian has been seriously injured on
this account
The solution is to place the gears
in neutral" and hold out the
clutch while waiting. II the foot
slips off the clutch no harm is done.
But when the start is TO be made it
is only necessary to shift to low"
and let in the clutch pedal. The
shift can be made without noise or
delay, because the clutch is at rest.

Go Into Parking
Space Head First
II Traffic HeaUy

It's rather annoying to discover
after you have spent ten minutes
searching for a parking space. that
in order to park the car properly
you will have to hold up traffic.
When the average driver finds
himself in this predicament he
simply gives it up as a bad job and
drives on to the next best place he
can find.
All this can be avoided by park
ing head first into the space tenn
porarily. When the traffic has
passed, then back out and take
your time backing into the space
In the approved way. This method
not only saves a lot of embarrass-
ment and confusion, but also obyi-
ates forfeiting the space to some
one who may sneak in behind
while you are preparing to use the
space.

ON ROADS
IN COUNTRY IS HIT
Regulations Needed There as
Much as in Cities, Says
Maryland Official.

Parking Of automobiles and trucks
along the highways is a serious men
ace to traffic and should be prohibited,
according to John y. Mackall, chair
man of the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
1T is common practice to park
loaded trucks alongside the road for
the night" said Mr.. Mackall. "Tf1ese
trucks are loaded for market and
often are taken from the farms TO
the roadside to get a good start on
a hard road when ready for the trip
to Baltimore.
They are sometimes put alongside
the road, to which there is no serious
objection, but often are put either
partly or entirely on the road. which
is decidedly Objectionable Then
spooning couples frequently park on
the roads. which creates a situation
Just as dangerous as that created by
trucks. All this should be stopped.
III a man has a blowout or some
trouble with his car he frequently
tries TO repair damages while stand
ing entirely on the road OF course
every man who drives a car sym
pathizes with the man in trouble. but
ne often creates a situation extremely
dangerous to himself and to others.
Il am convinced that no reason
able motorist would want to be a
source of danger to his fellows But
he is danger when he stops his
car well into the road, or at the base
or crest of hill or on a curve.
Our commission has stopped the
practice of roadside vendors using
the tops of our culverts for the dis
play of vegetables and fruits for sale
not because we are opposed to such
merchandising but because the stop
ping of cars beside such stands Gre
ated d serious menace to and con-
gestion of traffic. The time has come
when parking regulations for the
roads system will have to be adopted
They are as necessary on the roads
now as they are in the city"

RULES FOR TRAFFIC
TO ASSURE SAFETY
National Auto Commerce Chamber
Isues "Ten Commandments"
for Motorists.

Believing that the careful obser-
vation of few simple traffic rules
will materially help safer travel on
the highways, the National Automo-
bile Chamber of Commerce has issued
Ten Commandments of Safety for
Motorists
These are printed on tags which
are attached to the steering wheel so
that the purchaser may have the
maxims in mind when he first secures
his car. These commandments also
will be printed in automobile in
struction books.
The IN. A. c. c. Ten Command
ments" are as follows:
j. Always remember you are an
engineer, fully responsible.
2. Always test your brakes when
starting. and have them inspected
freqently.
3. Never pass a street car when il
is stopping, or. il the law permits,
proceed very slowly past il at the
legal distance.
4. Exercise especial care in cross
ing in front of a street car or in pass
ing il. as you cannot tell what may
be coming on the other side.
). Always signal with hand when
slowing down. turning, or stopping,
even tnOuRn you nave an automatic
or mechanical warning device.
s. Look before you back, and sound
the horn three times.
Z. Try to drive with using the horn
as little as possible. A sudden noise
may stop pedestrians in their tracks
rather than warning them.
8. Don't count too much on the
common sense of the other fellow. Nc
one is 100 per cent alert all the time
Drive SLOWLY NYhpre
children are playing. Remember your
own childhood.
10. Cross crossings cautiously
Warning bells may be out of order
watchmen or gate operators may be
off duty. Trains cannot stop as
quickly as you can Shift into SECOND

James A. Mcfarland Urges

The State Department was formally
appealed to today by James A. Nc

Disabled American veterans, to
bring to justice Grover Cleveland

rest at Eberbach, Germany, for an
alleged part in an attempt to kidnap

THE latest incident is, in the judg.

our consistent plea that the State

power to. bring to justice the super.
Stacker who has brazenly taunted
the authority of the United States

Fate and Sharp Eyes Of Police
Patrol Driver Free J. Robin
son in LoveIess Death.

The idiosyncracies of fate placed
John Robinson, Of 251 Tenth street
northeast in jeopardy of his free
dom on g. charge Of murder yester-
day and last night that same rate
caused his release from cell at the
Ninth precinct, where he was being
held, with the result that his name
has been cleared Of all suspicion.
What Detective Sergeants Howard
Vermill1On and Charles Mullen be-
lieve was q remarkable chain Of cir
cumstantial evidence that q murder
had been committed and the culprit
apprehended was disproved when
three persons, among them Patrol
Driver Worrell, Of the Ninth pre-
circt, asserted that they had seen
George e. Loveless, 'fifty-six, Of 1927
Brothers place southeast, hit by a
speeding automobile on the Ben
ming bridge.
Worrell tried to crowd the speed
ing machine off the road, but it
sped past him safely. Police are
now looking for the driver on n
charge OF granddaughter and falling
to stop after an accident.
Loveless was carried to the Ninth
precinct station house. He refused
to go to a hospital and was taken
to the home Of Lucius Bee, 1401 X
street southeast. His condition
grew rapidly worse, and when DR..
A. n. Meloy, Of 1926 Sixth street
southeast, was called, tLoveless was
unconscious. He died about 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. His in
juries were bruises on the right side
Of his head and injuries to his legs.
Before his dtath, Loveless is said
to have accused Robinson OF attack
ing him. He is said to have told
the police that he had been attacked
on the Benning bridge by Robinson
and another man.
Now comes the series Of incidents
that almost caused Robinson serious
trouble. DIR. Meloy stated that
Loveless was beaten by a eft-hard-
ed man. Robinson Is left-handed.
Robinson admitted that he had sew
eral times had trouble with Love-
less. And he reported for duty half
an hour late in relieving Loveless
as Waterman on the dredge. All
these facts were taken to mean, by
the detectives, that Robinson was
guilty Of the attack.
Then Patrol Driver Worrell came
forward and identified Loveless as
the man he had seen struck by an
automobile on the Benning bridge
On the strength Of HIS statements.
Robinson was freed from custody
and the search was instituted fer
the driver OF the automobile
But for the fact that Patrol
Driver Worrell saw Loveless struck,
Robinson would have been charged
with murder.

Eenore Marie de Grange Fav'
ors Erection Of a Theater

Erection of a children's play
house in Washington as perma-

was advocated today by Lenore
Marie de Grange.
She declares that the project Is
one which was Of great interest to
the late President and that it Is
therefore especially fitting as a
memorial.
The majority Of large cities in
the country have children's thea
tors, it is stated, and the training
of children in dramatic expression
is coming to be regarded as an IN
creasingly important form OF educa-
ton.
"The make-believe instinct" she
states, sis part Of the nature Oh
every child. Indeed, the entire
human family is yearning to ex-
press themselves in some manner.
Drama as an integral part in
the service Of worship in the church
is attracting widespread attention.
Vhe church being the foster mother
OF the drama. There is a steadily
increasing interest in the use OF
the dramatic art as a VSHICAc AOL
religious teaching. In the heart OF
New York's theaterical center we
find the old Union Methodist Church
devoting Sunday evenings to drama
tized Bible stories.
I'm the West the people are unit
ing with increasing enthusiasm ia
make drama live educational
force, to establish standards and
develop taste in the highest type
Of dramatic literature.
"Only this year there was estab'
lished In New York children's
theater. This was an event for all
children, everywhere. The dedica-
ton Of this theater marked most
significant forward step in the
children's welfare movement Of this
age. Then followed the establish
ment Of the children's theater in
Chicago, in conjunction with the
civic theater which was founded
by Edith Rockefeller Mccormick.
Baltimore, too, has started this
movement.
Now is the hour for Washing
