Here's Ono You Can stretch.

TO the proper tension and then find that
d few days later your motor is over
heating? You blame it on the way you
adjusted the fan. and find it necessary
TO do the job all over again-usually
when YOU have an appointment. The
trouble Is that you fail to provide for the
first stretch of the fan belt, stretch
that is usually the greatest in its life OF
service. The remedy is to stretch the
belt by hand after slipping it over the
pulleys. When the adjustment is made,
therefore, the belt will not stretch alb
normally. The second adjustment is ac-
cordingly postponed in proportion to the
amount of artificial stretch YOU give the

delicate research into the mysteries
of magnetization without interference

motor busses temporarily on Con-

For several years DR.. J. S. Barnett

some of the questions which science
has raised in connection with magnet

SENATE TO PROBE
VETERANS BUREAU:
Charges of Waste, IrreguIari-
ties and Extravaganza
Will Be Sifted.

An investigation Of charges OF ir-
regularities, waste and extravaganza
in the Veterans Bureau was ordered
today by the Senate.
Authorization for the inquiry was
Walsh, democrat, Massachusetts,
adopted without debate. A special
committee appointed year ago will
collect evidence and it will be de-
cided later whether a more thorough
investigation should be undertaken
after Congress adjourns.
Recently the bureau has been under
fire from several angles, officers of
the American Legion, among others,
critising the methods employed in
dealing with former service men.
There have been evidences that a
cweeping investigation on the part of
the executive branch of the govern
ment already was under way and some
important shifts have been made in
the bureau personnel. Col. c: r..
Forbes, the bureau director, now Is in
Europe and his friends do not expect
him to resume his duties when he re-
turns,
The special committee which will
conduct the inquiry for the Senate is
composed of Senator Sutherland;
Senator walsh. a year ago they
made a similar inquiry. Senator
Sutherland, as chairman, said today
he hoped to begin the new investi-
cation tomorrow.
Among other things, the resolution
adopted today recited these reasons
for inquiring into the conduct of the
bureau:
Waste Charged.
"It has been reported in several
press dispatches and asserted on the
floor of the House Of Representatives
that there Is evidence of waste, ex-
travagance, Irregularities and mis-
management in the operation of the
United States Veterans Bureau.
cit has been reported that general
dissatisfaction prevails among the
officials Of said bureau. Because of
such chaotic conditions and lack of
coordination 1t Is alleged that Off
cials Of said bureau have been re-
moved and others have rendered their
designations.
The burden Of such waste, extrava-
gance, irregularities and mismanage-
ment falls upon the incapacitated
soldier for whose relief said bureau
was created, and the conditions as
alleged to exist would necessarily
impair the morale of said bureau"
Ijams or Rogers May Succeed Forbes.
Either Col. George E. Ijams. act
ing director of the United States
Veterans Bureau. or DR.. l.. B. Rogers,
assistant director in charge of the
medical division, will be appointed
to succeed Col. c. r. Forbes, director
Of the bureau. who Is now in Europe.
and whose, resignation will be an
nounced formally as soon as his sue
cessor has been decided upon, ac-
cording to members Of Congress who
claim to be well informed on the
situation.
Both Col. Ijams and DR.. Rogers are
indorsed by the President and ouali-
fed for the position by Brig. Gen. G.
L. Sawyer. the Presidents adviser on
matters affecting the welfare Of
former service men.
Both Col. Ijams and DR.. Rogers are
said to have agreed that which ever
one Is chosen for the post the other
will remain with the bureau Each of
them. however, has also said that IL
any outsider Is chosen for the position
he will quit the service OF the federal
bureau.
