McCarl Rules Canal Inspector Merits
Car Fare Provided, If, When and Why

ceived an assignment to make an in
spection the day before the inspection
and proceeds directly from his residence
to place of inspection, the inspector Is
not entitled to carfare to such place.
The inspector, however, Is entitled to
carfare from place of inspection to the
Office upon completion of the inspection
II official business requires that he re-
port to the ONCE before going to his
residence and the carfare necessary to
60 to his office and from there to his
residence is greater than that which
would be necessary to go directly from
the place Of inspection to his residence.
I'm cases in which the inspector Is
sent from the Office to a place of in
spection within the limits Of his ON
cial stations during Office hours, and
the inspection is completed after once
hours, so that upon completion he re-
turns directly to his residence, no car
fare for the trip to his residence is
authorized"
THAT is" the ruling carefully ex-
plains, 1.-The inspector in such cases is
entitled to carfare from the office to
place of inspection, but not from the
latter place to his residence.
I'm a case in which the residence Of
an inspector is also his Office. any ex-
pense incurred by him in going to and
from that place to places of inspection
are for reimbursement, except for the
first trip out and the last trip In each
day."
And that is that.

a Government inspector Of the Panama

And Controller General McCarl, who
can tell to a nicely whether any single
penny of the Governments money may
or may not be spent, why and for what,
has answered it at length.
An unnamed inspector in the far
away Canal Zone is responsible: Some.

Car Fully Equipped - Far
Exceeds Any Previous Nom
Stop Engine or Car Marks
Full A.A.A. Supervision.

At 10 a. M, June IL, a Marmon-
built Roosevelt 8, picked at ran
dom from the final assembly line
of the Marmon factory by A.A.A.
officials, started running on the
Indianapolis Speedway under
A.A.A. supervision to determine
in an official run the stamina and
dependability of Marmon's new
low-priced straight-eight.
The run was terminated at
$40 p. M, Sunday, June 80, by a
violent wind and rain storm which
strewed the track with wreckage.
The car was running perfectly
when its driver was forced to stop
and had completed 440 hours, 40
minutes lover Is days. of contin-
uous operation.
All previous records for nom
stop engine and car operation
were far overshadowed - the
Roosevelt record being nearly
three times that Of the previous
nonstop mark, which was 1872
hours.
This record-breaking run has
proved as nothing else could the
stamina, dependability and long
lived quality of this straight-eight
which refused to stop of its own
accord and went on to records
unknown and unthought of in
automobile history.

this additional condition upon appoint
ment. While shorter tour OF duty
than four years increases rotation, 1t
is expected that Secretary Good will
make that length of service at least
one of the requisites Of selection.
The qualification, now formally COM
municated for observance by the present
administration, has revived the sugges-
ton that the same principle of limita-
ton and succession be followed in the
case of general officers of the line
There is some expectation of such a
recommendation from Mr.. Good to that
effect. 1t would, of course, require
legislation, and advocates of such an
innovation have pointed out that the
arguments applying to the careers OF
chiefs of arms and services for the one
term duration of office can be as prop
erly and prof1tably extended impartially
to all brigadier generals and major
generals.
The personnel of the United States
international free rifle team, with the
exception of three members, is composed
of members Of the Army, Navy and

SYDNEY P).-Australia is the

Notwithstanding that 1t already has
more Parliaments and governors in
proportion to its population than any
other country in the world, agitations,
backed by so influential parsonage
as DR.. Earle Page, federal treasurer

ton of the coalition government of the
commonwealth, spring up from time to
time in different parts of the country,
having for their object the creation of
yet more states, together with state
Parliaments.
There are at present six states in
Australia, irrespective Of territories.
Each state has its own Parliament, the
members of which are highly paid. and
in each state there also is highly
paid governor, the direct representative
Of the King. invariably sent out from
England and generally either knight
or peer.
Besides all these, there is federal
Parliament and governor general, also
sent out from England. All these legis-

Change in the Rubber Market.

The aspect of the rubber market is
undergoing change. Until few years
ago London influence controlled the
rubber trade absolutely, but things are
changing. The English merchants are
realizing that something must be done
to hold this important business and
more efficient methods in the marketing
Of rubber are being planned by the
British Rubber Trade Association. Some
of the regulations, capable of being
maintained without much dif1culty
when rubber production was chiefly on
estates owned by companies with head
Offices in London, are causing some
trouble in these times Of growing diver
sity of producers, increased competition
from other rubber markets and the
closer study of possible savings in dis
tribution costs. AS a rubber center
Hamburg is taking on some consider
able importance and in this revolution
airy movement the great diversity of
producers and of consumers, the specu-
lative interest in the market and the
increased direct purchasing in primary
markets by very large consumers are all
factors

conditions of a car in service.
The car, therefore, was absolutely
stock in every mechanical detail
and completely equipped-ready
for the road.
No attempt was made to see
how fast the Roosevelt would run,
the big point being to see how
long it would run without stop
ping, without shop attention Of
any kind, at normal driving
speeds but under track conditions
far more severe than any road
could offer.
Just think of making two round
trips from New York to Los An
geles without once shutting of
the motor and the car constantly
on the move. That in equivalent
distance is what this Roosevelt
did in its 1S-day run over the
famous 21a-mile brick oval.

test of British Tax.

LYNN. Mass. Op.-In planning its
tercentenary, June 30-JuIy 4, the Citv
OF Lynn discovered that the first Or
ganized or club effort Of women of the
early settlement took place more than
l56 years ago, just after the famous
Boston tea party.
On that occasion the women of the
Lynn settlement held a community
meeting and organized a call upon
James Bowler, who had a tea store at
Water Hill.
Presenting a united front, they met
Mr.. Bowler and demanded that he give
into their possession his entire stock
OF tea. This he did. The women scat
tered the tea to the four winds and
they marched back through the settle
ment as their display of indignation
against the tea tax.
This episode is to be made the sub
ject Of a float in the great tercentenary
parade July !. Mrs. Joseph w. Att
will, chairman of the womens commit
tee, and Benjamin N. johnson. presi-

that the episode may have been the
