The most pronounced result Of
the invasion Of youth is the marked
modification in cars.
Design Is rejecting the spirit of
youth, even In those cars of higher
price classes which are being pur-
chased by elders.
Not to be outdons by their off
spring, parents specify body styles
and color schemes that reflect
eternal youth. Return OF popularity
of the open car IL attributed, in
large measure. to the influence of
the youthful motorist.
Horns with distinctive noises,
auxiliary lighting devices that turn
night into day and acceleration
that knows virtually no limits have
become a reality because youth has
insisted. And IL youth has felt
that 1t should, in difference to it's
elders, stay in its place. the manu-
facturers have done their best to
discourage such modesty.
The car makers know better than
anyone else that the progress of
motoring might be less rapid II
youth did not have its fling. Most
of the important developments of
the day may be attributed to the
fact that minors are playing more

REMOVING GREASE

Sprucing up the car may call for
the removal of spots on the finish
caused by grease or oil. A little
gasoline applied with a soft cloth
will serve to good effect. If the
surface remains dull after this treat
ment. polish it with linseed oil. The
under surfaces OF tenders may be
quite q problem IL one does not go
about cleaning them in the right
way. Heavy suds, vigorously APP
piled, will work wonders. The parts
should be thoroughly rinsed after
wards to avoid any possible damage
to the finish from the soap solution.

ENGINE
IS WONDER

Every few days the world is
startled by some new record made
by an internal combustion engine.
After rs years of automobile
manufacture and fully half as many
years of intensive airplane expert.
Inentation, it might be taken for
granted that gasoline engines had
reached their peak Of performance.
But, just as we imagine that the
last word in records has been
achieved, some intrepid driver or
pilot, with nerves Of steel and an
iron constitution. takes a gasoline
engine to a new mark for the
world to shoot at.
The recent record.smashing ac-
tivities that Americans have been
indulRing in are due largely to two
things.
One IL the vital improvements
made in engine design which result
in greater speed and power with
less bulk and much greater d.,
pendabiIity.
The other is proper recognition

DISTRICT TAX LEVY
Of S1.75EXPEcTED
Reduction of 5 Cents May Be
Given by Commission
ers Tomorrow.

The Districts tax levy for the
fiscal year beginning July J., prob
ably will be fixed tomorrow by the
Commissioners. A rate of $1.75 on
each $100 of the full assessed value
of real estate and tangible personal
property is expected to be adopted.
This would be a reduction of 5 cents
under the levy for the current year.
The tax rate will be fixed on the
recommendation of Auditor Daniel
J. Donovan, who has worked assidu-
ously for the last several days with
the rate making formula he uses in
arriving at a figure which will give
the District an income to meet its
expenses.
The auditor has yelled his calcu-
lationS with the strictest of secrecy,
but it is understood that he has re-
ported to the Commissioners that a
rate lower than $1.75 would not yield
sufficient revenue, despite the 20 per
cent increase in real estate assess
ments, which become effective July /.
Report Being Prepared.
A detailed report showing the opera
ton of the tax rate of $1.80 for the
current fiscal year. the tax rate recon-
mended for the coming fiscal year and
short comparative analysis of the
appropriation needs recommended by
the department heads for the fiscal
year 1928-29 and a probable tax rate
for the budget totals for that year, is
being prepared by Auditor Donovan
for the consideration of the Commits
Sioners.
This report will be made public as
soon as the new tax rate is de-
termined.

Mellon Remains Silent on Report

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, June 9.-Premier Poincare
told the Chamber of Deputies today
he hoped to get better debt settlement
terms from the United States, and that
he intended to try, particularly as ne
realized that the French Parliament
would not ratify the accords with
America and Great Britain in their
present form.
The premier said that was why he
had made the PROVISIONAL payments
on the debt account, so as to keep
free to renew the negotiations.
His declaration came after he had
remarked that 1.-The French Parlia-
ment does not seem to wish to ratify"
the accords. drawing from Jacques
Dubois, who was undersecretary of
finance under Caillaux, the question,
Are you proposing that the Chamber
ratify them?"
Presses for Explanation.
The chamber suddenly famed into
interest and pressed the premier for
an explanation,
Il do not propose ratification of the
accords." he said, because l hope to
obtain better terms, and because Par
lament certainly would not agree to
bind the country for 62 years.
THAT is why | voluntarily propose
provisional payments. so we would
retain our freedom of action to nego-
tiate on a new basis. But, in order
that we may fear nothing and be truly
independent of our creditor countries,
don't you think it would be useful to
have foreign moneys, and particularly
money that did not come from those
creditor countries?"

tion bobbed up. were debating con
