for the cause OF the present gov

Rumors to this effect were verified
in part today when General Gabriel
Cervera, now in charge in Mata-
moroS, stated that civilians are be-
ing recruited and armed to aid the
cause, in case they are called upon.
However, the report that a large
consignment Of guns and ammuni-

today to arm the new recruits could
not be verified.
Although everything remains quiet
in NIatamOros, there is an atmOS-

are being taken to have the city in
shape, in case there should be an
attack. There is considerable ex-
citement among the citizenship of
MatamOros, visible in spite Of at
temptS to appear calm.
General Cervera said this MORN

no occasion for alarm at the present

CURB ON EXPENSES
STRESSED BY TILSON
House Leader Urges Close Scrutiny
of All Measures by
Congress.

Careful scrutiny of all measures pend
ing in Congress which would increase
Government expenditures was urged
Yesterday by House Leader Tilson after
q conference with President Coolidge
and talk with Budget Director Lord
Mr.. Tilson repeated that there are
bills on the calendars of the two Houses
reported favorably by committees which
If passed would cost the Government
about $1,000 100000.
Among the bills pending before the
House are many worthy of favorable
action at the proper time, but each one
must be considered not only on its own
merits but in its relationship to other
projects and with due regard for the
financial situation" Mr.. Tilson declared
1T would be unfair to President Cool
idge to spoil the splendid record for
economy made during the last six years
and it would be even more unfair to Mr.
Hoover to receive him into office with
a Treasury deficit.
eff our economy record is to be
maintained many measures which would
entail additional expense on the Gov
eminent must be set aside at this ses-
sion of Congress, and feel sure the
House will have the support of the
public in taking this stand" said Mr.
Tilson.

Paved Floor Boards

Graham-Paige engineers have
perfected a process of molding rub
Der on wood to provide rubber paw
ed floor-boards for the driving COM
partments of automobiles. This new
development results in extreme
neatneSs and unusually good ap-
pearance.
Because both the product and
the process are patented, Graham

boards are now furnished in all
models of the Paige line
The molded-on rubber covers not
only the surface of each of the
floor-boardS, but also the edges,
and in addition, forms strip of
rubber on the bottom surface to
act as packing and anti-squeak be-
tween the floor-boards and the

face of the boards also is extended
at the edge to form an overlapping
flange, which conceals the division
between the boards.
Many advantages are to be found
in the new arrangement. One of
these is it's cleanliness. The rubber
fills completely the gaps between
