WASHINGTON, June 3.-Presl-
dent Coolidge has finally attached his
signature to the tax measure passed
lrecently by both houses OF congress,
and to which Secretary Mellon had
entered strenuous objections. In
signing the bill, the president took
occasion to express his displeasure
over its provisions, stating he sign
ed it only in the belief that with all
all Of its alleged defects, it does
grant some measure Of immediate
tax relief
He affixed his signature to the
bill at A p. m. Monday, and at once
d rs per cent reduction in current
income taxes becomes effective.
Other reductions, amounting to
so per cent on incomes under So
1000 become effective next year.
The provision for a rs per cent
reduction in income taxes payable
this year, contained in the new rev.
enue law, may be put into effect
by the taxpayer Immediately. Per
sons paying on the insiallment plan
may cut their second payment, due
June Is, by one-half and the last
two installments by one-fourth each
Those who paid the full tax on
March IS will receive as soon as is
possible a refund of one-fourth
from the treasury without making
application for it.
Thus tax reduction, which has
held the center Of the stage since
congress met last December, anG
which President Coolidge mas re-
peatedly declared is the most i'm
portant question before the coun-
try, becomes a fact.
But Coolidge sees many large
flies in the ointment. He issued
a long statement in which he Sc
verely denounced many provisions or
the bill, describing it as tempo
rary measure which must be correct
ed at the next session Of congress.
Some Of its provisions are positively
harmful to the country, he aid. Tie
estate tares Of 40 per cent, when
added to those maintained by many
states, amounts to confiscation Of
capital, he said.

Grabbing Rattles in Their
Infancy Is Right Plan

The more expensive car is the
longer you expect 1t to run without
rattles. Yet it is possible with even
the lowest priced cars to keep the
rattles out If you but catch them as
they appear. They will come one by
one and If they are caught in the
same manner they will not be near
ly so hard to remove as they would
be Ii they are allowed to accumulate
in a troublesome chorus before they
are stopped.
Rattles In the brake linkage and
other parts under the car can be
found by shutting off the engine and
allowing the car to coast in neutral
gear. If someone stands or sits on
the running board while the driver
does this. many sounds that have been
difficult to locate will be readily found.
These link rods are typical example
of noise that will often defy the eff.
forts OF the driver to find. while an
other person sitting on the running
board or outside the car will have
little or no difficulty in locating them.

Place for Extinguisher
on the Running Board

Where to put the extinguisher Is an
open question. Under the dash is the
customary place. But almost every

Flames sometimes envelop the extin-

to unlock 1t. The most logical place,
from the fire standpoint. is to place 1t
on the running board. but this not only
spoils the cars looks. but tempts chill

Poor Cement Is Blamed
for Failure of Patches

One reason. perhaps, why a great
many roadside and amateur tire
patches do not hold when the tube is
assembled into the shoe is that rubber
cement Is used which is not up to the
mark.
Usually the cement has been re-
posing in the cars tire repair kit for
quite a time, and 1t is therefore not
so fresh and active as il once was.
Be sure to get the best materials you
can. in the first place, and. further,
before going on long trip examine
the tire repair kit to make sure every
thing in 1t is in good condition.
Better an inspection before the start
of the trip than regrets at the poor
shape everything is in later when
called upon to hx puncture out on
the road.

This may be increased by shift I

BY opening the throttle the re-

WAY TO IDENTIFY
ANY STOLEN CAR
Simple Matter to Place Sc
cret Marks on Machine
in Out-of- Way Places.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer Col
lege of Automotiye Engineering. Chicago)
You wouldn't leave bag of $40 gold
pieces parked at the curb even though
they were stamped I'm God We Trust"
In fact the person who did so would
Immediately be sent TO the insane
asylum. But nine out OF every ten
motorcar owners according to statis-
tics, are fully as careless with their
machines. which often represent bag
of gold pieces far too heavy TO carry.
\ You think nothing of leaving your
car for long periods without locking 1t.
And If you are fortunate enough in
still having 1t, why Ii Is nothing less
than sheer luck. Ii is little wonder
that automobile thieves live off the
fat of the land and find such profit
able field for their work.
How Thieves Work.
Thieves usually work in pairs and
when they see an unlocked car at the
curb, they drive another machine
alongside of the unlocked one. II is
an easy matter to step from one into
the other. In case they are dlscov-
cred in the actual theft, the other car
is the means of getting away AS a
rule they take the one that offers the
least resistance for an easy getaway.
Suppose your car is one of those
stolen. Could you identify II with a
new paint job or other Disgusting fea-
lures? Remember that the car is the
thief's property until proved other
wise Without some real proof you
cannot, of course, claim your property.
With the engine numbers and frame
Identification removed, you cannot pos
sibly tell your car from another. es-
pecially on account Of the fact that
there are so many standard models.
Identification Marks.
1t ls q simple matter to put secret
Identification marks on your machine.
Inside the hubcaps and on the frame
are excellent places. Or you might
loosen some part of the upholstery
and insert your business card. In this
event you would catch the thief red
handed. Suppose that those identiti-
cation places were discovered and re-
moved-surely there are other ways
that will suggest themselves to you
from an observation of your own par
ticular car. And thief isn't super
human; he cannot locate all the iden-
LITIGATION places.
But do 1t right now. Don't wait I'M
I'll the car Is gone.
1t only takes few seconds to lock
your car. And. as a rule, the thief
shadows his prospect several days be-
fore he steals it. If he sees that you
are careful it Is ten to one shot that
he'll pass your machine UP for one
that Is easier TO steal.
So don't put temptation in his way.
