parts at the bands will aid in keeping
things working at their best.
With any external contracting brake
of the exposed type, squeaking is
likely to be an annoyance after haV-
ing driven over dusty roads, or after
it has rained and left mud and dirt on
the brakes. The remedy for this used
to be to put n few drops of neatsfoot
oil on the drums If the noise did not
stop after a good washing of the
brakes. But with four-wheel brakes
the regular engine oil in the oil can
will answer the purpose. 1t is true.
the oil will impair the efficiency of
the brakes for the first few stops,
but four-wheel brakes are so effec-
tive the necessary oiling is not a detri-
ment.
The oil can is about to play an i'm
portant and interesting part in pro.
longing the life of a car. Nowadays,
when the chassis needs fabrication,
the car owner drives to his favorite
filing station and has the job attend
ed to. 1t is simple process and in Il
half hours time the owner is home
again, ready for experimentation of his
machine. Here is where he thinks of
the oil can, and of the things he can
accomplish with it.
There have been many radical
changes in cars, but the tiny hole in
the steering gear tube, just beneath
the wheel, is still in evidence. This
requires few drops of oil occasional
ly and helps to ease a very impor-
tant job. They will eliminate the
squeak or groan the driver often
hears when working to park his car
in a tight space.
Windshield Needs Oil.
Experience reveals no windshield
has been made that will function day
in and day out without developing a
squeak. Many of these noises are no
more nor less than friction betW cen
the glass and the rubber strip. Here
again a few drops Of oil come III
handy. Moisten the corner of a soft
cloth with oil and rub it on the rub
Der strip.
Carburetors, also, can stand an Oc-
casiOnal drop of oil. Their operating
rods and levers soon wear and develop
troublesome looseness if not given a
little fabrication now and again. This
applies to the throttle assembly as
we'll as to the spark control. Besides,

very quickly. Notice whether one
cell consistently takes more water
than the others. If one does, 1t is a
fair indication that the jar leaks.
Caught in time. the battery man may

Z0NING PLEAS
ARE LOST

The threatened invasion of Con-
necticut Avenue Northwest. be-
tween Calvert Street and Cathedral
Avenue by commercial interests
has been halted by the Zoning
Commission.
The commission yesterday turned
down two petitions for rezoning
that section Of Connecticut Avenue

that sentiment in the public hear
ing was almost unanimously in
favor OF the change.
The commission also turned
down q petition to raise the height
limit from so to 80 feet on the
woodward property on Connecticut
Avenue between Wyoming Avenue
and Cathedral Avenue in order to
allow big apartment to be con-
structed.
Altogether the commission turned
down nine out Of 16 petitions be-
fore It yesterday. A seventeenth

KEY MEN START
WAGE TIGHT
rinsn SIAN Photo

The Order Of Railroad Teie-
graphers today began its argument
for higher wages ana less working
days before committee appointed
by the United States Board of Ne.
diation, meeting IN the caucus room
at the House Office Building.
The union, whose members are
employed BY the washington Ter
minal Company, stated their de-
mands through President e. j..
Manion, which were as follows:
A ten per cent. increase in pay
In all classes; two DAYS Off IN each
month with pay and fourteen days
annual vacation with pay.
The union will seek to prove that
train directors, their assistants,
levermen and telegraphera are paid
less IN the washington Terminal
than IN other comparable terminals.
They also contend that wages were
reduced during q business depress-
ion IN 1920 and although business
has returned to normal conditions,
the wage reductions have never
been fully done away with.
Other alleged iY1justices cited by
the union include that fact that
before the government took over
the railroads, the men got annual
and monthly vacations. The union
also feels It's members should re-
ceive some compensation when
sick.
Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary of the
Treasury in Rooseyelt's administra-
ton, Is acting as neutral arbitrator.
B. G. Lewis represents the o. r. T..
and F. E. Blaser is acting for the
terminal company.

STAY Of DEATH
FOR JACKSON

Philip Jackson. convicted Of az

Capitol Grounds February Is. and
sentenced to die in the electric
chair November IL. today was
granted stay Of execution until
January IA. to permit his attorney,
John II. Wilson, to argue the case
before the District Court OF APP
peals.
Even though the appeal had not
been perfected it was regarded as
certain that Jackson World War
veteran-would not be sentenced
to die on Armistice Day. The fix.
ing of that date for his execution
was inadvertently done by Justice
A. A. Hoehling, who on August IL
granted jackson a s0-day stay
the ninety-first day falling on
Armistice Day. ~
simultaneously with the stay Of
execution it was announced by the
Veterans Bureau that under the
Veterans insurance act insurance
cannot be paid on a man executed
for criminal offense.

sentenced to be elecfrocuted
