Zoo Much Rope Wasted on

siBB United Press
~ ct. LOUIS, Dec. 14.-Too much
rope is wasted in Missouri on horses
and mules, Circuit Judge Jerry
Mulloy said today, warning gambling
ir crest that "a six-shooter will
meet any one who attempts to plant

In addressing the Chamber of
Commerce, the judge disclosed that
gamblers of st. Louis county had
planned to raise 100000 as a bride
offer in case he refused the money
was to be planted in his chambers
to brand him as CRATER.
cit may not sound dignified for a
circuit judge to be talking about
six shooters" Mulloy said, "but en-
durance has its limits. I've stood
about all I'm going to stand.
Murder does less violence to the
essential institutions of society than
the public official, who traffics in
favors and sells immunity from
punishment. Too much rope is
wasted in Missouri on horses and
mules. I can imagine better use
for it.

bullets, ballots, brides and bluffs.

fanatical, but my baptism of fire

DODGE FILTER
MAKES 1T EASY
TO KEEP CLEAN


How the oil filter works and wheth-
er it is working properly is OF interest
to every motorist who wants to secure
freedom from engine wear and from
need of adjustments or requirements,
according to William AlbertS of the
William Alberts Motor company, local
Dodge Brothers dealer.
TOO many owners" says Mr.. AL
berts, "are briefly informed at the
time of purchase that an Oil filter
is part of the standard equipment
of the new car but are not told how
important the filter is in prolonging
engine life. Sometimes the salesman
tells the buyer that Jne engine oil
filter is engine life insurance. but
too often the owner overlooks the fact
that in time the policy lapses, that
is, the filter becomes no longer eff
fective and should be replaced.
"Some manufacturers recommended
mileage. some when q test indicates
that the oil no longer flows through
the filter sufficiently free-the result
of gradual accumulation of sludge
and abrasives removed from the oil
circulating system.
TESTS made in the Dodge Motor
companv's laboratory indicate clearly
the extremely harmful nature of the
material which the filter removes. II

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, England, October S.
Belief that the time was not ripe for
naturalization of commercial banks
was expressed to the annual conference
of the Labor party here yesterday by
Phillip Snowden, chancellor of the
excheuuer in the first Labor govern
ment. He thus disagreed with a COM
mittee report that the conference
adopted and which contained such a
recommendation.
The report, however, was devoted
mainly to a discussion of a proposed
reform in the Bank of England which
would change that time-honored insti-
tuition from a shareholder concern to
one in which the government, the CO.
operative movement the board of trade

and other agencies would be repre-

scented.
Snowden said he could see no alter
native to the gold standard, but he
said that banks still labored under the
archaic idea" that it was necessary
to maintain heavy gold reserves in
order to support currency and credit:
He added that in the present state OF
things it was essential that the business
man should have alternative sources of
credit.
He argued that a man who possessed
a huge fortune should have the right
to bequeath it to anybody he might
select, making them independent OF
work. But he suggested that the in
come tax should be concentrated on big
estates, thus relieving the burden on
the ordinary income taxpayer.
