First Complete
Census Will Be
Taken in Russia
by United Press Leased Wire

MOSCOW, Dee. II. = The first
complete census i'll the history of
Russia will be started in December
A civil army 100000 men and
women is being enrolled for the
work, which will cost at least So
100000. For the first time, the
rulers of Russia will know exact
facts about the country they govern.
The car tried to find out these
facts in 1897, but the effort became
farce and very nearly turned into
disaster. In many villages, the
peasants thought that the questions
of the census takers portcnGed
some new and unknown trouble for
themselves. There were revolts and
peasant uprisings and soldiers had
to be sent to restore order. The
swarms Of census takers fattened on
the state payroll for fifteen years
and then the census abandoned TN
finished. The Gar never tried it
again.
The Soviet authorities undertook Il
census in 1920, when the war was be
ing waged by them in many sections
against revolutionary forces and
foreign intcrveners. The civil war
then, however, made the task chaotic
and it was not completed. The cen
sus to be begun in December will be
au orderly and precise affair, over
all Russia.
Fifteen questions will be asked
about every man, woman and child
in Russia. People, animals, farm
machinery, stores, factories, houses
and many other things Will be count
ed. In addition, the census will
form careful survey of the degree
of illitcracy in Russia, as the basis
for intensive educational work plan
ned by the SoNiots.

new COMPOUND
TO KEEP TIRES
PUNCTURE PROOF

An unique and somewhat startl-
ing demonstration of what is de-
clarcd to be the most perfect pune
ture closing compound so far devils
ed, was made last week, when T. r.
Law, vice president Of the Law
Puncturc Closing Compound Co.,
Inc, and W. n. Fox, sales manager
Of the concern, drove two cars, one
. Hudson special enclosed job and
an Essex sedan, to Mexicali and
return, with a score or more nails
varying from six to twenty pennys
driven in the right front tire OF
each car.
The nails were driven in the tires
in front of the Hudson and Essex
agency at 764 South Main, early in
the afternoon, by Law, and attract
ed large crowd. One colored
youth on the rim of the curious on
lockers said to another of his color:
THAT guy sure must be nutty. =
1t is coincidence that when some
of the nails were withdrawn later
in the day in front of the Hudson
and Essex agency in CaleXico, that
one colored boy said to another:
THAT man is sure crazy Accom-
panying the two cars, were several
! Hudson and Essex coaches from the
local agency and as the cavalcade
proceeded through FL Centre and
! CaleXico to the footing of sirens
and horns, it attracted no end of
attention.
Leading the demonstration was
the special Hudson owned by W. \.
Fox. This car with its light steel
top and crowned with an imitation
"76' is effectively used by the
sales manager for advertising pnt-
poses. The interior is equipped with
radio. The total cost of the Job was
in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Arriving in MeXicali, a stop of
several minutes was made at the
governor S palace in order that
Governor Abelardo Rodriguez and
his aides might have an opportun-
| itv to witness the demonstration in
which they manifested deep inter
est. Nails were driven in the tires
and then withdrawn in their pres
cnce.
, At the conclusion of the demon
! stration in FL Centre, when all the
| nails were withdrawn at the Hud-
son and Essex agency the balloon
tires, which had 80 pounds of air
at the start, showed practically no
! doflation. The compound differs
! from all others ON the market, it is
claimed, in that instead of harden
! ing when it comes into contact with
the air, the solution of shredded
asbestos and fluid is at once drawn
into the apcratures and the holes
plugged. 1t is held that the inner
tube is in no wise damaged through
its use and that unless tube has
suffered too many puncturcs it is
readily repaired

Indicators Often Cause
Of Automobile Trouble

Instrument board indicators are de-
signed to tell one when something
has gone wrong with some working
part Of the automobile. Occasionally,
however, the indicator itself develops
an ailment and causes the motorist e
great deal of expense and trouble,
because he looks in the wrong place
for the defect.
Take the ammeter. When 1t shows
discharge with all the lights and ig-
milton off, the chances are that the
relay. or generator cutoff points are
stuck. The battery is discharging back
into the generator. Suspecting such
a condition, a motorist started to re-
move the generator cut-out and then.
remembering he was taking a chance
Of blowing out the fuses, decided to
disconnect the battery. When he had
done this, the ammeter continued to
register discharge even though there
was no current in any Of the wires.
The pointer had been thrown of cen
ter, but 1t was only by chance that
it was discovered. The indicator It.
self had been above suspicion.

Shellac Coating Gives

reduce the annoyance Of loose and
rafting parts. Both nut and bolt
should be dipped In thin shellac. Aft
er being put In place with the nut
frightened, the bolt should have a
little additional shellae applied to its
end. This treatment will not only
prevent rusting. but will allow the
nut to be taken on more easily. AS
a general rule 1t Is very hard to rust
proof small parts. Sometimes they
are coated with grease or graphite,
but this soon wears on and the rust
continues to accumulate. Some forms
Of paint are frequently used. but
these, too, are not permanent protec-
ton. The shellac coating is expected

Continental Money

In 1890, soon after the new Consti-
tuition went into effect, congress passed
an act making the Continental paper
currency receivable at the treasury
in subscriptions to loan at the rate
of 500 in Continental money for 81 in
gold. In the spring of 1877 a law was
passed declaring that Continental
money should be receivable at the
above rate until the end of that year.
After that date Continental money
was no longer redeemable at any rate.

UNFORESEEN BUMP
HARD ON SPRINGS
Much of Expense, Time and
Temper Could Be Saved
in Most Cases.

How much blasphemy has been
voiced and money spent because an
unforeseen bump caused spring to
snap and make 1t necessary for the
motorist to limp to the nearest garage
ON the axle?
Though it is impossible to answer
such question accurately, 1t is GER
tain that much Of the expense, time
and temper could have been saved If
the car driver had been informed of
spring action and prepared his car
in advance for such emergencies.
Ordinary usage over smooth roads
never breaks springs. Spring break
age Is caused by high speed over bad
paving or the hard hitting of rough
spots in the roads. Spring designers
and car builders understand this and
try to get springs that will Withstand
severe shocks, yet afford sufficient
fexibility for good paving.
Nature Of Rebound.
When a spring has suddenly been
compressed or fully fiattened so that
the car and axle come together, the
energy Of the spring steel Immediately
exerts, a. pressure to return the spring
to Its natural shape. With the wheels
on the ground, there can obviously be
no give In that direction, with the re-
suit the car body is thrown violently
upward.
This action is called rebound" and
It is that rebound that causes discom-
fort to the car passengers.
Furthermore when the car frame
bounces upward 1t goes beyond the
normal stage and tends to pull the
springs and axle upward. thus put
ting an unnatural strain on the spring.
1t is this action that is as destructive
to springs as the original sudden COM
preston.
Should such action occur to the
rear axle, the wheels then lifted off
the ground by the rebound will start
to spin, with the result that they dig
the surface doubly hard when they
hit the road again.
Many Types Of Devices.
For several years car manufacture
ers have realized the need for de-
vice that would control the rebound.
Some, even now, equip their cars with
road levelizer" (which might bet
ter be called ''car-action jewellery
before they are shipped. Practically
all manufacturers provide holes In
the car frames for the installation of
rebound-control devices.
There are many types of devices on
the market, apd they usually are
called shock absorbers or levelizers,
their duty being to levelize the action
Of the car.
The object Of a true levelizer is
to allow the springs free play when
on good roads and to control the re-
bound when bumps are hit. The lat
ter is accomplished by preventing the
compressed springs from. expanding
too quickly and by minimizing the
disastrous snap that causes SO much
spring breakage and riding discom-
fort.
