Therefore, we suggest one OF two

First. The car could be impounded

Second. The car could be impound-

ABOUT ENGINE OIL.

When the oil indicator seems to
drop radically on a long trip 1t isn't
necessarily an indication that you
have bought poor oil or that your
motor is suddenly becoming an OIL
gusher. More than likely 1t Is q
crank case when you started was
more Hnburned gasoline than oil.
You can drive 4 car about town Tor
weeks without seeming to need Oil.
just because as the oil is burned on
the raw gasoline is added to the
crank case due to the excessive re-
cranking of the engine. Thus when
the car is taken on a run Of. say. 400
miles or so, the gasoline burns on.
thereby radically reducing the amount
OF lubricant in the crank case.
If you suspect oil dilution, It Is
best to drain out the old oil and re-
place with new before starting the
trip, but If this is not convenient it
Is advisable to pour In fresh oil. even
though you seem to be adding more
oil than is necessary.

Asia Like Houses Roof

The continent of Asia, according
to DR.. Sven Hedin, writing in
Popular Mechanics Magazine. is like
the roof of a house. irregular in
shape. falling off gently in the
various directions. From it's crown
rain water is pouring down in all
directions. NO matter where the
watecourses arise they are still, as
they sweep onward, crossd here and
there and again by almost innumer-
able paths. and countless likewise
are the bridges The railway
bridges. Doctor Hedin says, are built
everywhere on the same principle,
but the primitive bridges with which
Asia abounds are of the most diverse
character. He enumerates bridges
of stone, of tile, of iron and cement,
of chains. ropes and cables. of wood.

natural rocks which in the course of
time have broken asunder from
mountain and tumbled down into
some wild rav!ne where they now

Davis Believes
LafOllette Will Win
Six to Eight States

Nashville. Tenn. Oct. 10 (By A.
PD-John w. Davis. Democratic can
didate for president. admitted tonight
opened that the LaFollette-Wheele
Independent ticket might snatch six
or eight states in November. He
firmly stated. however. that "the
Democratic Party does not fear Sem
ator LaFollette."
AS to the attitude Of the Republi-
can Party in regard to the Indepen-
dents, the Democratic nominee said:
1t has been question In the
minds Of many as to the seriousness
with which LaFollette and his party
should be considered in this CAM
paign. Secretary Hughes, who has
now been pushed forward AZ the
administration and the Republican
presidential candidate considers this
party very serious indeed. and very
dangerous. so much so that he ap-
pealS to the country to rally to the
support of the Republican Party and
thereby check this menace OF La
FolletiSm."
The situation between Republican,
Democratic and Independent parties
was further analysed by Mr.. Davis
In this connection. he said. referring
particularly to the reported appeal
that Democrats and Republicans alike
combat "LaFolletism' that certain
questions had been argued in our
minds" Continuing his statement
concerning the appeal Mr.. Davis
asked: -
rs it fear of defeat that leads this
spokesman of the Republicans to urge
a combination against Senator La
Toilette? Is the chief of the Presi-
dents cabinet concet!ing that the La
Toilette rebellion threatens to make
the reelection of Iir. Coolidge i'm
possible? The Democratic candidate
answered his own questions.
IF So" ne said. 1T must be ad-
mitted that this fear is not without
foundation. A great division has
come upon the Republican Party. 1t
is a Republican who is leading the
revolt, which may snatch six or eight
states from the Republican column
supported by candidates of discon-
tented members.
And" he continued. this open in
surrection here is but another indi-
cation of that dissention which has
existed between the president and
his party in congress-dissention
which resulted in constant opposition
and clash upon such propositions as
the world court. the Mellon plan, the
japanese immigration bill. the bonus
bill. etc. No wonder the Republicans
are beginning to remember with an
xiety that a house divided against
itself cannot stand"

LaFOllette Group
To Raise 100000
Fund in Wisconsin

Washington, Oct. 19-William NJ.
Butler. chairman of the Republican
National committee. in a statement
issued here tonight. declared LaFol-
lette leaders had decided to raise
$4,000 in the state Of Wisconsin for
the Independent ticket.
Since the senatorial investigation
committee has decided to continue
hearings into campaign funds" he
said, Il want to say once more that
the Republican national committees
willing cooperation is producing such
information as is desired.
I'VE hope that the committee will
go into the matter of the funds rails
ed by our opponents as well. On
september 9. in Milwaukee, Wis, one
hundred LaFollette leaders held a
meeting and decided to raise $780,
900 in that state. Among those
present We're Herman Extern, attor-
ney general, who presided; Governor
John j. Blaine and State Treasurer
Sol Levitan.
This $4,000 was to be apportion-
ated to various congressional dis
tricts, each one of eight districts
raising $4,000, and three districts,
the third. fourth and fifth, $4,000
each. These were the quotas fixed.
Proportionatcly. that fund for Wis
consin was much larger than that
proposed by certain Republicans in
Pennsylvania.
"The Republican Party has no OBJ
lection to the raising of funds. for
the third party candidates by such
gigantic organizations as the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor or the rail-
road brotherhoods Gut such funds
must of necessity become the subject
of inquiry by the senatorial commit
tee if it IS to continue hearings at
this time.
I'VE have gone into the committee
and given the amount of our budget.
the receipts to date and a survey of
our expenditures. 1t must now be
apparent to Republican men and
women of America that we are con-
Quoting presidential campaign on
most economical lines. Moreover it
is clear that we need more funds.

Banks Long Known

Few things play more important
system of banking.
The word bank originally meant a
bridesmaids stall. and the first bank
in anything like the modern sense
existed about 400 years ago, says
London Tit Bits. We learn about
this bank from clay tablets dis
covered near Babylon. Apparently
the first firm of bankers was that of
Egibi & Son, who fiourished in
Babylon about 500 or 700 B. c.
The early Chinese were in the
habit of issuing paper money-in-
deed. they got into difficulties by is
suing too much. There was a bank
in China about A. D. 1000.
