Two Parking Pointers

Steering in and out of parking
spaces is made easier by keeping tires
inflated to the maximum; that is. If
the car is being used for city driving.
With the well-paved streets even an
old tire will stand full pressure, and
may perhaps benefit by 1t.
In rainy weather one should be
careful not to park so close to the
curb as to keep the right wheels
standing in the water of the gutter.
If the water is high enough 1 reach
the rims, as it ofttimes is, water is
likely to get into the shoe and rot the
tube. This leakage may occur where
the rim splits apart or where the
valve stem goes through the rim and
wheel felloe. A washer is always
provided to keep the valve stem
watertight, but it Is often loose or
Goes not fit properly.

Double Bar Bumpers

Double bar bumpers are cookbook
ing, but that's not the strongest point
in their favor by any means. 1t is
coming to be the thing to equip cars
with bumpers front and rear, and as
cars vary widely in size and frame
construction the bumper on the front
of one car may be five inches higher
than the one on the rear Of another.
Should these cars collide their bump
ers would be fifth wheels" from the
point of protection. While 1t is not
possible to provide for every possible
contingency in this connection the
double, or triple, bar bumper is one
hundred percent more effective as
protector of the car. Your new car
should have this type.

Puxxlina Vibration

That strange vibration driver
hears when passing another car on a
hill is ofttimes very startling but al
ways easy to explain. In passing
another car on a hill It. will often
seem as though one motor or the
other was running unevenly. Some
times the drivers are conscious of the
presence of a firing order which Is
almost uncanny. 1t has been known
to brighten motorists of exceptionally
keen hearing. What really happens
is that the drivers become conscious
Of a compound firing of the two
motors, which being out Of tune with
each other result in freak vibration.
It is particularly noticeable when a
six-cylinder passenger car exhaust is
heard at the same time with that Of
a four -cylinder truck.

Coolidge Got Credit
(Continued from Page One.)

The critics of Gov. Coolidge have always emphasized that the credit given to him throughout the countr, for courageous action was based up on complete misapprehension of the facts; the truth being that he did nothing whatever to prevent the strike, and nothing to overcome the effects of it until after order had been Erestored by troops called out by the mayor of the city.
 These critics have likewise con- tended that the governor took action only after he found that public sen- timent was entirely against the strikers, and that he did not have the backbone to act until then because he was afraid it might hurt him polit- ically.
 In Defense of Coolidge.
 On the other hand, many who are familiar with the facts, have main .tained in defense of the governor that the police commissioner of the city was responsible for the mainte- nance of order, and the governor had no right to intervene in the situation over his head Moreover, it. is well known that Police Commissioner Cur tis felt certain that no strike would take place, and that if aAy occurred at all, only a few of the men would go out and order could be maintained easily by the large number who would remain on duty He un- doubtedly took this position with Gov. Coolidge and influenced him to be- 1ieve that there was no occasion for interference on the part of the gov ernor These defenders of Coolidges position say that when he found that the commissioner was mistaken and riotous conditions existed he did act without delay.
 So far as the facts are concerned however, it IS true that 1t was not Gov. Coolidge who took the necessary steps in the emergency to restore order in the city, but Mayor Peters.

Mine Operators Again

Ol1 age one. N their employees to reduce inconyen fences to a minimum. Lewis objected because this would compel dealings with individuals whereas the union stands for all men and calls for col lective dealings.
 Fifth. The operators assumed there would be no suspension of work September I. Lewis said he would make no such agreement at this time
 The conference did not, however break up on the unexpected rift in the negotiations, the operators being scheduled to meet the coal commits sion again during Nthe afternoon.
 The Atlantic City conferences can be resumed, Lewis said, "on the pro position made by the miners"
 The miners, he added, will not re- open negotiations on the basis of the operators letter to the commission offering "ua1ifed elimination" of the check-off
 The miners have authoritative in formation that the operators letter of acceptance was written by Walter Gordon Merritt, declared Lewis, term ing Merritt "union busting lawyer in the employ of the operators
 In addition to the "check-of" again assuming the role of an obstacle, the miners representatives began pressing their charges that private detectives in the employ of the operators have been sent into the anthracite fields to "stir up trouble"
 Thomas Kennedy, president of Dis trict Mo- 7 of the United Mine Work CTS and one of the miners delegates, declared they had again put the mat ter before the commission and de- manded to know what the operators "were going to do about 1t"
 Warriner had denied to the com mission that the companies had em- ployed detectives in the coal fields.
 Kennedy said he gave the commits sion the names of five detectives em- ployed by Mariners company, the Lehigh Valley Coal Co., and had filed newspaper clipping stating that de- tectives were being hired
 Subjects discussed by the miners in their last meeting with the commis- sion took "a wide range" he said The uestion of wages was also brought up, he asserted.
 The apparent wrecking of the nego- tiations between the operators and miners is due to misunderstanding Dr. George Otis Smith, member of the coal commission, said.
 "The trouble seems to be that neith- CT side can understand the other and we can understand neither" Dr. Smith said.

 Chicago, all of them big hearted fe1- lows, officially recognized gentlemen

 Over night the journeymen came to the realization that 1t is manifestly unfair to charge 60 cents for taking meagre snip here and there at that fuzzy little terrace wrich starts be- hind the ears of so many nearly bald i for shearing customer with hair so l thick he resembles the covered wagon.
 What the new price is to be has not yet been decided. It may be so and it may be 40 cents. If bald mans vanity is to be appeased by such questions as Want 1t singed, keeps 1 it from coming out" and "do you wish me to leave 1t dry, sir?' of course, the full price doubtless will be demanded
 While nothing official was an nounced from Bald Mems headquar- ters, information leaked out that they were after still further price conces- sions. These are: For dull finish to the shiny spot, s cents.
 For rounding out corners of the skull, Al cents. For birds eye maple finish, 45 cents.
