AUSTIN, Tex, May 20. R-The
sznprecedently long regular session
cf the f~orty-second legislature to-
day approached its end. Adjourn
ment was scheduled when the legis-
lature clocks reach IL noon. Some
thought that would be this after
noon but most legislators believed It
would be tonight.
-Four Appropriation bills. congress
SIGNAL redistricting and the omnibus
sulphur-cement-peddlers tax bill
were the important proposals hang
ing In the balance.
Free conference committees On
claims and accounts, educational,
eleemosynary and departmental APP
preparations and congressional re-
6istricting worked late last night.
Phil Sanders, chairman Of the house
appropriation committee. predicted
yesterday conference reports on the
money bills would be ready TODAY.

night a majority of the free con-
ference committee had agreed on
the long discussed congressional re-
districting bill.
A conference committee agreed
yesterday on the peddlers' bill, re-
ducing the cement tax from 20 TO 5
cents a barrel. The sulphur tax
would be rs cents, an increase Of
20 cents over the present levy.
Legislators were watching Cover
nor Sterling and wondering If his
next move would be TO call a s2e-
cial session. He recommended yes
terday that the regular session be
recessed for a few days or weeks.
The senate backed him UP, II to ~,
but the house voted "a TO As not 70
recess.
In the message yesterday. Cover
nor Sterling warned of the possi-
bility Of a special session il they
did not recess. He said the state was
facing a 100000 deficit, that 1t
might be impossible for him TO fit
the expenditures OF the revenues
through vetoes Of single items and
therefore he might have 70 call
them hack to increase taxes or de-
crease appropriations or both.
Legislators will turn back their
clocks to keep them from reaching
II too soon.

vened January Is. Voters last Nov

excess Of 200 miles per hour at alti-
tudes up to nearly four miles.
The figures, as reported In the Air
plane, on the standard ,Hawker Fury,
latest addition to the British fighter
squadrons, show speed at an altitude
of 10000 feet of 207 miles per hour, at
Is, 900 feet of ala miles per hour and at
10000 feet of 207 miles per hour. This
plane Is credited with climb to 10000
feet in minutes 40 seconds.
An experimental Fury with standard
propeller showed speeds of 212 miles
per hour at $500 feet, 214 miles per
hour at 10000 feet and 200 miles per
hour at $4,000 feet, according to the
report.
In the bombardment class, however,
the British Royal Air Force is able to
show even better relative performance.
The most recent Of the Boulton and
Paul Sidestrand twin engined day
bombers, the equivalent Of the stand
ard Army Air Corps Keystone B-3 type,
Is reported to have clicked q maximum
speed Of 1877 miles per hour at 1000
feet-nearly so miles per hour faster
than the American types.
The Sidestrand is powered with two
Bristol Jupiter X.F. supercharged en-
gines developing maximum output OF

Townend rings and exhaust collector

wings. The performance Is said to be
remarkably good, the rate Of climb In
creasing with altitude up to 1000 feet,
where the climb with full rate Is said
to be at the rate of / 400 feet per min
ute. The speed also increases with
altitude from $50 miles per hour at
sea level to nearly ITO miles per hour
at $4,000 feet. It Is said to remain
above 100 miles per hour at attitudes
up to $4,000 feet. The Sidestrand Is
said to be able to climb to $4,000 feet,
loaded, In Is minutes. 1t Is said to be
able to climb with full load on one
engine.
As q result Of work with the Side
strand supercharged bomber, British
designers claim that It now is within
the range Of practicability to produce
o supercharged twin-engined bomber
with top speed Of 400 miles per hour
or better at the most effective operating
altitude, with full load suficient to give
O cruising range of 900 miles.
The new Sidestrand, reputed to be
the fastest bomber the world has seen,
Is q biplane with wing span of 70
feet and q length Of Al feet. The
weight, empty, is 6,877 pounds and
loaded, 10000 pounds. The landing

mer Hues.

Motor buses and taxicabs are two
kinds Of vehicles where subdued color
Is never of advantage. They need to
be seen, and seen plainly. The motor
bus that travels along interurban roads
Is usually brightly lacquered, and in re-
finishing 1t, even though the color
scheme is slightly changed. 1t Is well
to keep the brightness, which makes for
visibility.
New York has thousands of taxis,
and, broadly. they fall under seven diff
ferent groupings as to colors. Phila-
dlephia, Boston, Chicago Detroit and
many other big cities grant sort of
a color scheme copyright privilege to
the individual taxi companies New
York does not do this, and so there is
some duplication among the rival COM
panies. But here are the colors now
used by the principal taxi fleets in New
York, and they seem to offer rather
wide field Of choice:
One company has upper and lower
body areas In cellini green, very
bright yellowish hue Of green. Belt
holdings around window reveals and
wheels are of cinderella gold, an in
tense bright yellow. Stripe holdings
are in cellini green.
Another, having 1000 cabs, uses colo
NAL blue. a dark stately hue. for the
upper part with holdings and wheels
of mountain ash scarlet. The tenders
are black and a colonial blue stripe Is
used on the holdings, the remainder
Of the body area being in bright pema-
quid blue.
Hundreds Of cabs Of various sorts
are colored with part of the upper
structure, holdings and tenders In
banderlog brown. a deep golden hue Of
brown, The lower body areas and
wheels are In premet tan dark, an ex-
tremely yellowish shade. Cream stripes
are used on the holdings.
A rich edulgent blue boy blue on
upper structures and tenders, with
body areas, window reveals and wheels
in patrol green Is another lively color
combination used.
There are some 400 cabs done in a
very smart and distinctive way adapted
in part from q successful passenger
car color scheme The upper structure
Is finished In black, body and tenders
In turenne gray, o pewter like color,
q part Of wood and wheels in light
blueish. virgilius gray and holdings
in vermillion.
Courier cream Is used by one feet
on body and wheels with tenders and
top In black. And the shade of the
yellow used on the yellow cabs Is swamp
hollow orange set of with black.
Plenty Of chromium Is being used and
the general tendency. In addition to
the design to make the cab of almost
gala appearance, Is to suggest richness
and luxury.

PREVENTIVE maintenance
REAL ECONOMY SOURCE

Definite savings are available In the
cost of automobile ownership over and
above the general reduction in list prices
Of new cars, according to e. T. Satchell,
president Of the Motor and Equipment
Association, who points out that pre-
ventive maintenance Is o real source Of
economy In the cost of operating car.
Preventive maintenance makes pos
sible a reduction in the cost Of upkeep
which will parallel the reduction in
original cost Of q new car" he said.
Regular inspection by competent serv-
ice men using modern equipment will
catch trouble before 1t happens and
thus eliminate unnecessary delays or
expensive accidents. Such inspection
and the resultant servicing will cut
down needless depreciation also so that
the car will retain maximum trade-in
value when o new car is considered.
Beyond the actual reduction in the
final cost Of ownership" he added,
preventive maintenance means greater
satisfaction at all times. Statistics
show that most cars are delivering their
owners only between so and rs per cent
of their real operating efficiency. Regu-
lar inspection will help owners get the
full value built into the car by the
manufacturer"
