Pays $40 For Offering
Early Morning
Concert

Inspired by $1.25 worth of
corn whiskey, Everett M. Will
son, colored, took his 5000
tubaphone, banjo mandolin and
scerenaded the stars that are
visible from H street northeast
at 2 o'clock in the morning.
A cop, not approaching good
music and the love in Everett's
heart, brutally took him down
to the station house, took the
instrument away from him and
placed him behind the bars.
Everett paid a fine Of $40
when arraigned before Judge
Gus A. Schuldt in the District
Of Columbia branch of Police
Court today. The fine does
not worry him, however, for
his time is being taken up with
trying to regain possession Of
his beloved instrument.

AUTOIST OVERCOME BY
ALCOHOL IN RADIATOR

MORRISTOWN. Ohio. March Z.
A warning to autoists not to
drive in closed cars if they use
wood alcohol in their radiators has
been issued here. It was voiced by
Frank Rivers, Indianapolis, after
he was revived by a local physician.
Rivers was driving his closed
auto when he felt a severe pain
across his eyes, similar to a blind.
ing headache. Becoming dizzy, he
stopped the car, opened the door
and fell to the ground, uncon-
scious.
DR.. j. B. Jeffrey said Rivers was
overcome by carbon monoxide gas,
due to an improperly adjusted
carburetor and to the use of wood
alcohol to keep the radiator from
freezing.

this changed gearing. This. too, was
found impractical because, when the
power of the motor was increased by
increasing compression, fuel knocks
developed to such a degree as to make
it almost impossible to drive the car
at all without constant knocking in
the motor. This. then, lead to the
development of a new fuel that would
make it possible to increase compress
sion without this knocking and obtain
a greater efficiency from the use of the
most ideal of all motor rfuels-gasoline.
For years the laboratories worked on
this problem. Over $500 substances
were worked with in the attempt to
accomplish this result. Test cars were
driven hundreds of thousands of miles.
Some substances were found that
would do the work, some that in a
few places were in actual use at the
time would accomplish the purpose,
but it was necessary to find a fuel
that would not only eliminate the
knock, but would accomplish many
other benefits without the slight
est possible harm to the motor and
that would be a product available

In Dayton, Ohio, General Motors
maintains great laboratories where
men whose engineering skill is world
renowned and where the resources of
a great organization are devoted to
the work of progress.
Here, some of the greatest develop
ments in the automotive industry
were made. 1t was these men who
were responsible for the development
of the electric starter for automobiles
and where recently there has been
developed that wonderful new finish
for automobile bodies-Duco.
1t was over seven years ago that
these laboratories were given the
problem of working out a way to give
more power to our present-day auto
mobiles. At first it was thought that
this could be done by changing gear
ratios SO that the car would be geared
higher. But it was soon found that
this method was not feasible because
it rendered the car weak in hill-climb-
ing power. To obviate this it was
thought that compression in the motor
could be increased SO as to give the
motor the increased power necessary
to make the Car 60 over the hills on

Ex-kAISER'S COLLECTION

 Already more than 12,000,000 francs have been realized from the sale
 This famous collection of stamps was given to the ex kaiser in the will of a son of the late Duchess of Gale ria, who had taken Austrian citizen ship under the name of Count de la Renotiere. William II had instituted the sale of this stamp collection in

SOVIET GOVT.
 DEMANDS PAY F0R
 INVASION SIBERIA

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-Diplomatic relations between the United States and the Soviet government of Russia are far from being resumed.
 The controversy which has been go- ing on with reference to the authen- ticity of the documents urging the fol lowers of the Third Internationale to arise and put the flag lon the White House" is only a part of the problem now. The fact that the Russians are so exercised over Secretary Hughes disclosures is interesting, but officials do not observe the soviets disavowing the Third Internationale or denounc- ing the doctrines which have been the basis of soviet propaganda in the Uni ted States.
 Judging by the comments which the episode has brought out the public has missed one point that has not fail ed to arouse indignation in inner cir cles here. It relates to the Russian offer to recognize certain debts due America since the Czar's regime On its face the suggestion seems as if the Russians were beginning to meet the American government half way but coupled with their offer is a demand that the United States reciprocate by paying damages for the occupation of Russian territory, both in Siberia and in the Arachangel region. The Rus sians have been figuring out that for American consumption they would recognize the war debt, but would turn around and in the same offer de- mand enough for the occupation of Russian territory to offset the amount of that debt and in effect cancel the bill.

 This feeling is rapidly gaining a headway as thousands of Japanese farmers refusing to go back to their pairing to depart for states farther east Something like 50,000 Orientals are expected to join in this migatory movement and Oregon and Washing ton, with similar land laws, will con- tribute many to the eastward hegira.
 The objective points, according to Japanese associations here will be the larger centers of population along the Atlantic seaboari and in the central states where the Japanese plan to es- tablish truck farms.
 The anti-alien land act prohibits all persons ineligible to citizenship mostly Japanese, Chinese and Hindus from owning or leasing farm lands from tilling land on crop share agree ments. and also from owning stock in land holding corporations.
