The abnormal brealSage Of belts
III the hands Of certain owners can
be traced to the same cause. Any
belt has a certain amount of stretch
in it. Some Of this has to be COM
pensated for, when the belt is new,
but after that the Ynotorist is only
encouraging further stretching when
he attempts to keep the belt taut.
IA belt that runs a little slack, though
not enough to slip, will have a
longer life and will perform for long
periods Of time without requiring at
tention.
Slack Belts Best.
One seldom, If ever, finds taur
belts operating power machinery In
factories. They are invariably slack,
and seem to perform in a highly
satisfactory manner. It Is just a
gentle tip to the motorist who, hav-
ing found the right wrench, iInme-
diately uses 1t carelessly.
While dozens of parts Of the car
are demanding the services of an
intelligent car owner welding q
suitable wrench 1t Is foolish to abuse
other units of the machine in a mis-.
directed effort to obtain big results
in car care. If the belt seems a bit
too loose try cleaning off the pulleys.

the belt. Wrench work last.
The chief thing tn watch MT for
in going around the car with a
wrench is to distinguish between
locking nuts and adjusting nuts.
Service stations are generally agreed
that failure to make this distinc-
ton is responsible for a large per-

tighten up on the first nut he
comes across, and the result is that

WHAT DO THE PEOPLE THINK?

In his statement of Sunday appearing in the Montgomery Advertiser and the Birmingham Evening News, Senator Bon ner confirms The Age-Herald statement that he does not get the distinction be- tween his own position, on a dual loyalty Nto public office and to private employ by monopoly seeking special legislative and administrative favors, and that of MT. John w. Davis. MT. Davis divested himself promptly from his private cor porate associations, not only when ap- pointed to office by President Wilson, but also as soon as nominated for the presidency by the Democratic party. He has shown both by word and by deed public life can properly be employed by private interests seeking privilege.
 But Senator Bonner, on the other hand, admits that, while a member of the Alabama senate, he accepted employ from the Alabama Power Company. Sen ator Bonner attempts to make it appear that this is not so by stating that his employ did not occur until the legisla- tive session closed Has Mr. Bonner re- signed from the Alabama senate? Is he not still member? Were that body to be called into extra session by the gov- ernor, as there is reason to believe it may be, does Mir. Bonner intend not to be present and to take no part in the voting, even on matters affecting the ambitious desires of the Alabama Power Company? The people of Alabama know from his statement that he would do no such thing.
 His position emphasizes the shame lessness of those public servants and leg islators who see no harm in accepting private compensation from groups inter ested in public legislation while belong ing to the lawmaking body. That was the situation that defeated the burden of-proof bill in the last session; that blocked any effort to outline a power policy for Alabama, and that almost throttled the seaport enabling act. The question is not what MT. Bonner thinks about such things; but what do the peo- pie of Alabama think about it? The peo- pie of Alabama should be ready to an- swer that question at the next legislative election.

THE ouTCoME IN TEXAS

The success of Mrs. James E. Fergu- son in winning Democratic endorsement of her aspirations to the governorship of Texas is somewhat complicated result. In the first place, Mrs. Ferguson's hus- band, while governor of Texas, was inn peached and removed from office in 1917. Later he ran for the senate osten- sibly to ''seek vindication" by the vote of the people of Texas. He ran well, but was defeated, according to report, by the Klan influence, against which he was outspoken during his campaign. Mrs. Ferguson made her race on a similar plea of vindication for her husband. She also was outspoken against the Klan, yet was nominated by a majority of over seventy thousand in the largest primary vote ever boiled in Texas Either the Klan is growing less powerful in Texas, or else there has been demonstrated again the old principle that no Ameri- can vote can be delivered en bloc by any leader or organization.
 In Texas a Democratic nomination is regarded as an election. The Republican candidate, who had announced his with drawal, has re-entered the race, evidently hopeful of success now that his opponent is a woman. To be sure, his success is not impossible, but there is no very lively expectation among Texas observers that Mrs. Ferguson will be defeated. The executive ability of the nominee has not been tested. Some affect to believe that

ALABAMA MERCHANTS WELCOME

Birmingham extends a hearty welcome to the merchants of Alabama who as- semble here today in eighth annual ses- 2 slon. It is the purpose of the Birning- ham Wholesale Merchants and Manufac- turers Association to make this the most successful gathering since the organiza- ton was formed, from both business and a social standpoint. The two are closely associated. and there is reason to believe that the convention will prove profitable to the visitors as we'll as to the home merchants.
 The Alabama Merchants Association includes in it's membership many leading business men of the state; men who are directly concerned for and identified with the states economic welfare. What helps Alabama is beneficial to Birming- ham, and vice versa. The extension of Birmingham's trade territory not only helps lthis community, but in many ways is helpful to Alabama. Hence the value of better acquaintance and increased good will between the business interests of this community and of the state. It is worth much to both to know each other better.
 Not only the merchants of Birming- ham, but the citizens generally, feel it a privilege to have so many visiting lead CTS in business and industry in this com munity for several days. This Is the be- ginning of the season when business be- gins to take on new life after the heated term, and the hope of prosperous fall trade in itself creates genial atmos- phere. The visitors and members of their families will want for none of the Inequalities which will contribute to their enjoyment during their stay.
