CHRONIC TROUBLE
IN ALL MACHINES
Same Make and Model De.
velops Peculiar Ailments
When Not Given Care.

(By ERWIN GREER, President Greer
College OF Automotlve Engineering.
Chicago).
The sensible motor car owner is sat
Isfied if his car gives reasonable per-
Torrance. If the fan belt breaks he
puts on new one If washer leaks
in the rear axle and the axle begins
to throw grease, he cleans out the
grease on the brake bands, puts In a
new washer and then tries driving
more In the center Of the road. Driv-
ing to the right-continually-tilts the
axle housing to the right and works
the grease out a lot sooner than 1t
would otherwise. And he doesn't
howl about it, realizing that 1t was
his own fault for driving to the ex-
IRENE right
Chronic Trouble of Cars
Every car has some sort of chronic
trouble. Even the same make and
model Of car is capable of developing
varied troubles. 1t is common to hear
a motorist say, "She always did that"
"Or that never did work properly"
And such comments are as readily
made about the $4,000 machine as the
5000 one. But the big reason why COM
plants are confined to a certain class
of drivers is because the other class of
driver knows that car needs constant
attention, and gives it.
know a fellow who is continually
bewailing the fact that one of the ig-
milton wires was always dropping off
a spark plug. Instead Of inserting
new fastener at the end of the cable
he chose to sit back and yell about it.
Meanwhile the car runs on three or
four cylinders, depending upon how
effectually he swears. The car is me-
chanically perfect outside of this small
defect and six cents would remedy
that. But to hear him talk you'd think
that the machine was veritable
wreck.
Nothing Goes Wrong.
] invited this same chap to take q
ride in my car, which is an expensive
make "This is the sort of car for
me !" he exclaimed. as we glided down
Michigan boulevard. Nothing ever
goes wrong with this make of car"
But just then he beheld my chauffeur
acting exactly the same as he had
acted the day before "Blast 1t !" the
chauffeur exclaimed. "The horn is out
of order"
There you are, folks. Half the auto
mobile drivers are to blame-not the
machines. Give your machine reason
able attention and care. And always
remember that the car owner who APP
pears to have regular carr is the
fellow who, nine times out of ten,
knows how to take care of tor has
learned to be satisfied with what he
has.

GET HIM
OUT AS
AGENT
Feared That Justice Depart
ment Might Become Involved
in Scandal, Burns Says.
BY KENNETH CLARK,
International News Service.


Mrs. William c.. Duckstein,
pretty and apparently self-pos-
sessed, took the witness stand in
the Senate's oil investigation to-
day, and admitted that she II an
agent Of the Department Of Jus
tice, that she had been supplied
with a code book by William J.
Burns, chief Of the departments
secret service, and that she had
sent her husband, an. employe Of
E. M. Mclean, kilograms In the
departmental code.
She declined to identify, how
ever, the famous 'Mary" mes
sage, in which Mclean was tipped
by Burns that he was under In
vestigation by the department.
Mrs. Duckstein was the first
woman to appear in the oil in
quiry. She took the stand before
the greatest crowd that has yet
attended the hearings.
Admits She Telegraphcd.
In reply to questions, she idenr
titled herself as an agent Of the
Department of Justice, and for
merly confidential secretary to
Burns.
Mrs. Duckstien spoke in q low
voice and the crowd that damned
the room pressed forward eagerly
to catch her every word. She said
that she was a special agent Of
the Bureau of Investigation Of the
Department Of Justice and formerly
was confidential secretary to Burns.
Walsh asked Mrs. Duckstien If
she sent her husband a telegram on
February 2 such as had been read
into the record.
II sent my husband a telegram"
she said petulantly, "but it was
| not the very much garbled one
that has been in the papers.

| the entire meaning"
She admitted that she was in pos.
session Of Department of Justice

code she used in sending the mes.
sage to her husband was obsolete"
she added.
GriIIed by Walsh.
Walsh walked around the com.
mittee table to the witness stand
where Mrs. Duckstien sat fairly
bristling, laying before her a sheaf
of papers.
This is the copy Of the original
code message as 1t came to the
committee" he said. us that the
one you sent?"
She looked at 1t intently and then
angrily up at him saying:
"I can't say. I wouldn't say I'M
less I saw the one sent"
Mrs. Duckstien refused to admit
definitely that the decoded message
was correct. She insisted that the
word ''as" should precede the phrase
Especial agent Department Of JUS
tice."
Later, when Walsh went over the
message word by word she insisted
that three words, regarding him
being" should precede special agent
