No Chance of Being -lected
Senator With $1,000
Labor Judgment
Civilians County Newsman)

Messrs. D. /. Todd, C. A. Miller
Of Williston and Bill Lempke of
Fargo, went thru town last Sunday
enroute to Brush Lake where they
spoke at the farmer-labor picnic,
which was promoted by the notorious
Plentywood Taylor Of pyorrhoea
fame, who is again using the farmers
money in an insane run for U. S.
Senator from Montana. With that
$1,000 judgment for wages against
him in Roosevelt county, Montana he
has as much to show as the ~proverbial
snow ball in the hot place.
We are told that those present
listened to what the other speakers
said, but quite a number began to
leave when the pyorrhoea doctor be-
gan to spout-and some say that
Mother Bloor's criticism of Ameri-
AN did not set well on her listeners.
Editor Paulson should also have
mentioned the Nels Hanson notes for
$4750.00 which Taylor obtained from
that poor old man who is left holding
the sack. He should also have men
toned the unpaid notes to the man
from Buffalo, Wyoming who died
after waiting for years on the pro-
mics made by the oily note signer.
Likewise, he forgot to mention that
Taylor was arrested and bound over
to District court last spring for
writing a bum check for over $4,000
when he had about four cents in the
bank; and last but not least, he
should have called attention to the
fact that Taylor did not pay his gro
Gerry bill for about 100000 last spring
and which he does not intend to pay,
altho his piano and radio are tied up
in the hands of the Sheriff of Sher-
idan county.
These items are all honest debts
which should have been paid long
ago by that editor who is alleged to
receive almost as large a salary as
our District Judge.

Do you ever scuf the heels of your
party shoes or smudge the stockings
with grease from the accelerator pedal?
If SO, take heart at the news that there
are two new accessories fashioned to
spreads under the pedals; the other an
affair like a spat that fits over the
ankle and heel.
IT thought I had violated at least
81 of the traffic regulations the other
night when a police officer blew his
whistle as I was swinging into a left
turn, but it appears that I had just
dazzled him with my brilliance," said a
woman the other day.

This is the season of year when the
engine will be doing lot of fussing
under the hood during the warming-up
process, and it might be well to know a
little something about backfiring.
When you are startled by one Of
those pistollike shots from the exhaust,
many people will say, "Oh, that's just
a backfire!" But backf1res are not eS-
pecially startling, and therein lies the
danger. A report from the exhaust Is
merely an explosion of unburned gases
which have accumulated In the muffler
true backfire is the backtracking of
burning gas vapor into the intake and
carburetor.
For a number Of years backfires were
not so dangerous, because gasoline was
of poor quality and efforts were made
to keep all gas piping as far away from
the carburetor air intake as possible
Today the danger of backflring is acute.
Gasoline Is more volatile, and the use
of fuel pumps and filters has provided
new places where gas vapor leakage can
occur.
There will be less danger Of back
firing II the carburetor mixture Is prop
! erly adjusted for colder weather A
further safeguard is provided by hav-
ing the service man check over all fuel
connections regularly
II you want maximum protection
against damage from backfire, 1t Is adj
visable to install trap on the air in
take of the carburetor Several of the
air filters now provide this additional
feature. If the service man says your
air cleaner doesn't perform the service

BALTIMORE, November Three
hundred and ten persons have been
killed by automobiles so far this year,
as compared to 285 during similar
period in 1929, e. Austin Baughman,
commissioner of motor vehicles, pointed
out in discussing the necessity of the
save-a-life campaign, which begins
November and continues through the
month.
During the campaign period motorists
are required to have their machines in
spected for mechanical defects at any

Stickers to Be Displayed.
Official stickers certifying that they
have passed the inspection will be at

Brakes, lights, horns, steering mech
anism, windshield wipers and rearview
mirrors will be the salient points of in
spection," Mr.. Baughman said. These
parts or equipment are among the first
to become defective, and when defective
are responsible for a large number of
the serious accidents that happen every
year.
The save-a-life campaign is really an
intensive effort to cut down the acct
dents in Maryland and to make the

ADJUST BRAKES FOR FALL
DRIVING, ENGINEERS URGE
Automobile Problems Multiplied
100 Per Cent, Necessitating
Many Inspections.

The advent of Autumn, with its slip
perry pavementS, wet leaves and other
traffic hazards, multiplies the driving
problems of the motorist several hun
dred per cent, according to engineers
of large manufacturing company, Of
Middletown, Conn.
During the Fall Of the year" they
declare, there Is nearly always large
increase in the number of traffic acct
dents caused by skidding, in addition to
the regular quota constantly resulting
from wornout brakes.
Frequent inspection Of brakes Is the
best insurance against this type Of acct
dent. If the car Is equipped with four
wheel brakes. as are all standard makes
manufactured today, the obtaining of
proper equalization is twice as impor-
tant because, in an emergency, one
brake out of alignment may cause skid
ding, particularly II the brakes are ap-
piled with full force"
In the interest Of increased traffic
safety, motorists who have not had
their brakes inspected for several
months are urged to do so before the
frequent rain and sleet storms Of
Autumn arrive.

It's too bad that woman drivers with
lots of push can't learn to work of

Talk all you like, girls. The men
folk may size you up as the original
talkies, generally speaking, but here
are the safety advocates with some
thing to say for you. 1t seems women
are less likely to doZe off at the wheel
more, thereby keeping mentally alert.
Judging from car sales, many families
are holding off on the inevitable pur-
chase of a new machine. This calls
for a word of caution. To keep ones
present car means spending money for
upkeep that doesn't figure when new
car has come into the household. Don't
spend this money regretfully or try to
stint on necessary service, because false
economy now will have an adverse eff
feet on the ultimate trade-in value of
the car. One woman is having her car
serviced with the company from which
she expects to purchase her next new
car. Naturally she'll get a better al
lowance for the present car since the
dealer knows its history more init
mately.

ing their husbands to save for the new
car? 1t Is surprising how setting aside
$50 month in savings account, plus
interest, will add up to tidy sum over
a comparatively short period.
One of the traction companies has
been asked to install signals on their
street cars to enable motorists to know
when right and left turns are about
to be made. This brings to mind an
idea that has helped me many times
when In doubt as to how to proceed
under certain traffic conditions. Sum-
med up, the scheme is to watch the
street.
If there are tracks curving to right
or left there is a possibility that a
street car will turn. Frequently there
are tracks on the paving made by au-
tomobiles. Use these to decide whether
or not left turns are permitted when ap-
preaching strange intersections.
A woman who drives her own car de-
clares the next time she gets into lot
of congestion she is going to tell the
traffic officer she's some celebrity and
see If special privileges will tumble into
her lap. Unfortunately she doesn't
know the idea fiops even If you are a
celebrity.

THE inspection is compulsory under
the provisions of Chapter 259 of the
General Assembly of 1929, which au-
thorizes the commissioner of motor
vehicles to require the inspection Of
the safety factors of all automobiles"
Inspection Free.
Mr.. Baughman points out that the
inspection will be free of charge: any
adjustment or repair found necessary
to insure the safe operation may. at
the owners order and with his permits
sion, be charged for at the usual rate
of charge by the service station or
garage. Any agreement In this con-
nection, 1t was said, would be solely
between the motor vehicle owner and
the inspection station.
Every motor vehicle owner. or oper-
ator, will have to show evidence that
his car has been inspected before he
can obtain his license tag for the

RANGE WIDENING
SENIOR 1881 CARS
New les, IFS and IS Are
Scheduled for Coming
Year.
Special pispstch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, November with the
situation in automobile manufacturing
such that none of the companies can
afford to dismiss any available sales
opportunity, progressive widening Of the
present range of cars is under way for
1881.
Several more 16-cylinder cars are
being designed and are nearly ready for
the market. With these are to come
two more twelves, according to present
programs, while several other makers
are to replace skies with Fights.
At the same time, the front-drive
division now confined to two lines cord
and Ruxton) Is likely to receive three
additions before Spring.
Forecasts Of Engineer.
These forecasts are vouched for by
William G. Wall, Indianapolis consult
ing engineer, who bosses the technical
group supervising the annual 500-mile
automobile race on the speedway of his
home city. The developments, together
with the likely formation of midget
car division to include Americanized
designs of the baby types in Europe
promise three new ways in which the
makers will strive for originality.
They will be the engineering answer
to the cry for new ideas in the motor
car field, with the radical designs
still to be looked for in the future.
The multiple cylinder engine is here.
Mr.. Wall believes, and will probably
always remain. Some years ago. he re-
calls, two companies brought out ~
cylinder engines which we're given up as
not being entirely satisfactory
There Is no question" he says, "but
the greater number of cylinders gives
smoother torque (the engineering word
for twisting stress on a crankshafD and
has few drawbacks except that Of addi-
tional cost.
Old Theory False.
"It is often said that the greater the
number of cylinders, the greater the
amount of trouble, but this has been
found untrue. An eight-cylinder engine
Of today gives no more trouble, If as
much, as did the four-cylinder engine
Of yesterday"
To Mr. Wall 1t looks as II the tend
ency toward four-speed transmissions
is not quite so strong as 1t was last
year The low speed, he points out, Il
future Is the three-speed transmission
with the quiet second gear.
On the relative merits of L-head and
valve-in- head. Mr.. Wall finds the over
head type gaining In usage because II
has more compact combustion space
He qualities this by saying that unless
the combustion chamber of valve-in-
head engine is properly designed, 1t il
little, If any more, efficient.

Baker Spends Is Per Cent to Deliver
Bread, According to Truck Survey

PONTIAC. Mich, November MAX
ing sure that you receive your daily
bread" from your dealer. freshly baked
and wholesome, costs your baker almost
IS cents out Of every dollar that he ex-
ponds in his business In other words,
this percentage represents the average
wholesale bakers cost of twice-daily de-
livery of his products to retail outlets.
This and many other interesting facts
are revealed in a printed, illustrated re-
port, released today by one of the motor
truck companies, covering a Nation wide
study of all factors involved in wholesale
bakery distribution.
Proportion Is High.
Few lines of business devote as large
proportion of their gross expenditure to
making certain that their products reach
the housewife as speedily and in as
clean. fresh condition as does the mod
ern baker. The percentage mentioned
above does not include the cost of other
unusual precautions, including expensive
equipment and machinery, with which
the baker makes sure that his products
are received by the consumer in top
condition.
He is, of necessity, an early riser" for
his first baking must frequently be COM
pleted as early as am, seldom later
than am. He then makes delivery
in fast trucks, with dustproof bodies,
insulated to maintain an even tempera-
ture and alright to prevent the baked
goods from drying out en- route.
The report is designed to give real,
practical aid to the wholesale baker in
rendering even more efficient service,
at the same time reducing his distribu-
tive cost. The report is available with
out charge or obligation to men in this
industry.
Use Many Makes.
Impartial, the survey condenses in uSa-
BILE reference from the successful expert
ence and methods by which representa-
tive bakeries, large and small, have solved

the Judgment in accordance with the
policy terms If immediate surgical re-
lief is imperative to a person injured
the policy will cover such expense. The
cause of an accident will be investi-
gated by the insurance company and
cost of such investigation taken care OF.
The theft OF automobiles assumes
considerable proportions, over 100000
motor cars being stolen every year In
the United States: and New York City,
with its millions of people and thou
sands of cars, shows the greatest num-
Der of thefts with the lowest record Of
recovery. Fire and theft policies are
practically all written in the non-val-
ued form. which means that in the
event Of loss through fire or theft pay
ment will be based upon the replace
ment or actual market value of the car
at the time of its loss, If a car is in
sured for $500 and stolen, say within
six months. under the non-valued form
the payment to insured would be about
S1,100. The reason for this develop
ment seems to have been as follows:
People bought cars and found after
few months that they could not afford
them. The cars would naturally de-
preciate in value but insurance COM
panies would pay in the event of loss
a good deal more for the car than its
replacement value at the time of loss
and considerably more than pur-
chaser would have paid for it in good
condition. No owner today can collect
from an insurance company more than
the actual worth of his car at the time
of loss. This puts premium on care
fulness, not carelessness. If an auto
mobile owner stands to lose few hun
dred dollars should his car be stolen or
burned, he will take better care OF 1t.
Reason For Bother.
Why should an automobile owner
bother about inslIring his car? Many
thousands drive their autos for years,
causing no damage and receiving none.
But there is always the possibility of
accident, emphatically evidenced in the
fact that during 1929, 1907, 267 .399 was
paid out in insurance claims.
II your car causes injury or death,
you face the prospect of claims, prob
ably court action and financial loss,
unless you are insured If your car
causes damage to another's property
you may be confronted with a bill I'm.
less you are insured. If your automo-
bile collides and is seriously damaged
repairs will be costly unless you are
insured. All such outlay can be salts
factorily taken care of-through insur-
ance.
Mr. Brokaw will be glad to write on
any automobile topic reader of these
articles may desire.

BY H. CLIFFORD BROKAVv,
Automobile Technical Writer.


An automobile owner went out to
take a little drive on a pleasant after
noon. He had gone less than Ave miles
when he crashed into car coming in
the opposite direction. Both cars were
damaged and some occupants of the
other car injured. Later the owner
who went out for a little drive was sued
for 100000. Although it was evident
that the occupants of the other car
were under the influence of liquor and
were unable to steer their car properly,
the plaintiff denied this. The lawsuit
seemed unjustified, yet 1t had to be de-
Tended.
This sort of thing is going on in va
rious parts of the country. Other losses
are being sustained by motorists which
they can hardly afford and which are
quite unnecessary 1t Is not strange,
therefore, that automobile owners are
increasingly seeking to protect them
selves from loss by fire, theft, personal
liability and property damage by IN
| Surance. This seems to be the one
medium which satisfactorily saves many
| motorists a lot of worry and a good
deal of financial loss. Automobile in
Surance protection is coming to be
considered as much taken-for granted
factor in owning a car as spare tire.
And a very valuable spare tire" 1t can
prove to be.
What Owner Should Know.
There are certain things that an au-
tomobile owner ought to know about
| insurance, even though he may appre-
ciate the necessity of insuring his car.
and that is, what kind of policy he is
purchasing and what protection it real
| ~ will give him.
There is such a thing as luxury in
automobile insurance, but there is a
way to cut out the luxury" Insur-
ance companies have termed one OF
| their policies Full Collision, and a Full
Collision policy will cover practically
everything. There is q certain class Of
| car owners who like to include every
little item of overhauling. maintenance
and other bills in their claims against
an insurance company. When policy
allows for that its premium runs high.
IT, however, these small claims can be
eliminated, the insurance company
charges a much lower premium and
still gives the protection against the
big loss, which is really the protection
one needs most. To make the Full Col
lision policy attainable for the average
automobile owner by eliminating some
of the expense of premium, 500 de-
ductable collision clause has been de-
vised which means that the car owner
pays less premium for his Full Collision
| policy but personally covers, instead
any loss up to the amount of 500.
Then there is the Property Damage
policy, which is simply insurance
against any damage you might do to
another's real estate or car or which
might be caused by riding up lamp
post or tree or humping into trolley
car.
Covers Personal Injury.
Public Liability insurance covers In
Jury to persons. An insurance COM
pany will undertake to dispose of mer-
itorious claims satisfactorily, provide
for the defense of suit and defend
