Shellac Coating Useful
TO Protect Auto Bolts

A thin coating of shellac is an ef-
fective antitrust protection for bolts
and nuts. The substance will also
prevent Q nut from turning. and -will
reduce the annoyance Of loose and
rattling parts. 3Both nut and bolt
should be dipped in thin sheIlac. After
being put In place with the nut tight

rule, II Is very hard to rustproof
small parts. Sometimes they are
coated with grease or graphite, but
this soon wears on and the rust con

Tire ResiIiency Much
Increased by Invention

A Hungarian Inventor has perfected
a new method of attaining a 400 per
cent increase Of resillency in pneu-
matte tires without changing diameter,
cross section, shape, form or general
appearance. An extra cushioning ef-
feet Ia attained by using a double disk
wheel and by converting the entire hol-
low space between the. two walls into
an alright compartment which holds
air under pressure as permanently in
service as that accomplished by the
inner tube OF the tire. Communion
ton between the tire and the afr
chamber in the wheel makes the latter
virtually an extension Of the former in
point OF cushiOning effect.

Good RULES FOR
SUMMER TOURIST
Observance VIII Aid in
Avoiding Road Trouble.

Now that the summer touring sea
son is here and the highways and
byways are overrun with vacations
fists, tourists and others going no
where In particular and in q big hur-
ry 10 get there, let us take count OF
stock" and see what we. who also ex-
pect to be on the road may do to in
sure our emergence from this season,
still sound Of wind and limb and with
out having accidents. Here are a
few suggestions in the interests of
safety.
l. Be sure that your lights are ad-
Justed properly at the start and test
them frequently to see that they re-
main in adjustment.
.. Be sure that your brakes are
properly adjusted and test them to
see II you can stop the car In the re-
quired distance for a given speed.
8. When about to execute any
movement that can possibly affect the
manipulation Of another car make the
proper signal in a decided and dis,
tInct manner. Do this even though
you don't see the other car and do
not know that there is one In the
immediate vicinity.
How to Use Horn.
4. "Spare the horn" in dense traf-
&c. Be prodigal in your use OF the
horn on mountain roads, particularly
when approaching a curve where the
view is obstrueted. Always sound
horn VIXEN about to pass a car going
In the same direction. Remember
that one of the Calls of the Open
Road" is the sound of the horn when
used properly.
8. Do not burn up your brake lin
ings on steep grades-you may have
use for them later. Use the motor
TO brake the car on grades. A good
thumb rule is to descend a hill In the
same gear you would use In ascend.
ing it and never descend a hill with
the gears in neutral.
9. In loading your camping par
sphernalia, be sure that the load does
not extend beyond the hub cap on the
left nor more than six inches beyond
the hub cap on the right.
q In passing through streams or
other bodies of water do not dash in
in high gear Go into low gear before
entering the water and remain so until
dry land has been reached.
Share With Others.
g. Do not hog the road. II a per
son who is In a bigger hurry than yon
are should come up behind you, assist
him in passing. then neither you nor
he will be worried.
g. Do not try to beat any railroad
trains to crossings No automobile
has yet tried TO oppose a train with
out coming or second best
10. Always be sure your campfire
is absolutely out before leaving 1t.
Also, be sure your cigarette. cigar.
pipe ashes and matches are dead be-
fore they are thrown away. Carry |
In the car small box or can OF earth
for extinguishing purposes. Often
times a tiny spark which gives no evil
dence of life In the cool morning will
burst into fame in the nSonday heat
and cause immense property damage
and possible loss OF life.

SENATE REJECTS
REPORT MADE ON
ALUMINIUM CO.
PARTY LINES REMAIN vIRTU-
ALLY INTACT; BODY REFUSES
TO CRITICIZE DEPARTMENT
OF JUSTICE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. With
party lines virtually intact. the senate
has refused to formally criticize the
department Of justice fof the course
OF its Investigation to learn if the
Aluminum Company Of America has
sdisregarded federal court DEGREES.
By vote sf % to Sc 4 rejacted
last night the judiciary committee
majority report to that end. The
votes of two democrats, Blease, of
South Carolina, and Bruce, of Mary
land-who joined with the Republi-
cans, decided the issue, for the re-
niainder of the senate minority with
seven Republican insurgents, voted
for adoption of the report.
The decision prompted Senator
Robinson, of Arkansas, Democratic
leader, to drop his resolution propos-
ing to authorize the president to en-
ploy special counsel to conduct pro-
eeeding against the company, in
which Secretary Mellon is stock
holder.
Previously, Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, Montana, leader of the fight in
behalf of the report, had abandoned
his plan to have the senate investigate
tt.ss company on its own account
through special counsel. He said
several senators were of the opinion
that no senate inquiry was necessary
in view of the investigation made by
the federal trade commission, which
had fled complaint that the concern
had violated DEGREES designed to pre-
vent monopoly in the A,uminum IN
dustry.
Warm exchanges which preceded
the vote involved Senator Walsh,
Senator Reed, Republican,, Pennsyl-
vania, and Senator Moss, Republican,
New Hampshire. The Montana sena-
tor had charged Mr.. Reed with being
representative in the senate of Sec
retary Mellon or of the Aluminium
Company. This Senator Reed denied,
adding that he would take no insult
from the senator from Montana"
Senator Moses declared the whole
inquiry was aimed at Mr. Mellon and
back of him the president and the ad-
ministration. He warned Senator
Walsh that in 1924 in the Teapot
Dome inquiry he tried such tactics,
declaring Mr.. Walsh knows how the
country reacted to that"

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE THINKS
PROVISIONS OF NEW LEGISLA-

TREASURY
fBy Associated press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-- Pro-
visions of the new tax reduction bill
were in operation today, with Presi-
dent Coolidge holding the belief that
the measure will cause treasury de-
ficit of 500 900, 900 at the end of the
next fiscal year.
Further reduction may be possible
within few years as the public debt
total is lowered, but, in the meantime,
Mr.. Coolidge hopes congress will go
slowly in approving measures calling
for additional appropriations. He
has particularly in mind proposals
for increasing about ten per cent the
expenditures in behalf Of the army
and navy.
The threat of treasury deficit at
the end of the next fiscal year may be
removed If congress is careful of the
governments finances, Mr. Coolidge
thinks. and he foresees additional
revenues for the treasury If the tax
reduction effects. increased prosperity
throughout the country
In addition to the widespread tax
reductions, the bin effects changes
in the administrative provis ons. The
treasury is limited to three years in
stead of four as the maximum during
