SENATE MAY VOTE THE $20,000,O00
 RELIEF TONIGHT
Compromise Endorsed By Secretary Hyde Will Probably Be Accepted and Voted on Late This Evening
BY LYLE c. WILSON


 United Press Staff COrrcspOndcnD
 Washington. February IS - (UP) A distracted senate was scheduled to vote tonight $20,000,000 for re- lief of drought stricken-farmers.
 The senate generally has accepted the interpretation of Secretary of Agriculture Hyde that loans from this compromise fund may be used to purchase food, and leaders had expected to have vote last night. The overtime session was aban- doned, however. in behalf of a din- ner party given by Senator Deneen. republican, Illinois, in honor of Vice President Curtis. Many sena- tors had accepted invitations.
 However, it probably would not have been possible to vote on the appropriation last night because Senator Thomas, democrat, Okla hours on the subject of neglected American Indians. When Thomas is finished. there probably will be other senators desiring to be heard.
 Indians and drought relief claim senate attention at the same time because both are to be dealt with in the interior department appro- priation bill. The supply measure has been held up pending adjust
  putes.
 The democratic western republi- can coalition which seeks to de- stroy the compromise relief meas ure contemplates new tactics today. The new issue was raised by Senator Wheeler, democrat, Montana. He has suggested that congress appro- priate $2O, 100000 or 25,000.000 for i President Hoover to administer in k1h oe if paa6 rtgpS after congress adjourns.
 The $20,000,000 provided in the compromise about to be acted upon is restricted to the drought areas. Senators object that adequate pro- vision is not made for the unem- ployed and that no federal assist anee is offered for needy persons in the drought areas unless they can advance security for loans.
 President Hoover, presumably still Is ready to do battle with the senate on the issue of direct fed eral relief. He has said repeatedly that the most the government can do is to loan money on security un- less the state. municipal and pri- vate sources of relief are exhausted. In that case. MT Hoover would be willing to supply federal funds.
 Then let us give him the money i. under those conditions" suggested Wheeler.
 Chairman F'ess of the republican national committee replied that there would be no objection to that for the feet there is no evidence that other sources of relief have been exhausted or will fail.
 Senator Borah. republican. Idaho takes the view that the man without security "wouid die under the Red Cross program" It was Borah who proposed the motion calling upon Hyde 10 state whether any of the : S20.000,000 could be used to buy , food.

Milady's Motoring
By FREDERICK C. RUSSELL.

II he gets out to watch the attendant
MI the gas tank, the lady with him
is his wife.
She was holding the wheel like grim
death, her bobbed hair flowing in the
speed-made breeze. I gave her car wide
berth as I approached, not knowing
whether would get by alive or just
minus a couple of tenders. Looking
back after my safe passing, discov-
cred milady swinging her car into
filling station. wanted to turn back
to tell her that the next time she finds
the tank running low she will be less
likely to be stranded If she runs at
more economical speed, but ! must be
shy, or something.
What sort OF car does a woman buy
when she has buried her husband these
10 years ago last Friday and has all
the money in the world, but too many
gray hairs to enjoy it fully? I've been
checking up and find she goes in for
about the best money can buy, and
doesn't care If 1t is striped with yellow
or bright green. One little old lady
passed me today in the sort of phaeton
I want when my ship slips into the
harbor of prosperity. When it comes
to motors, the sweet ladies of LIES
shutdown have an uncanny way Of pick
ing the winners on wheels.
The selection of gay, luxurious cars
by elderly women doubtless is encour-
aged by chauffeurs and automobile
statesmen One woman who was some
thing of a nervous wreck took long
trips and was in the car literally from
morning to night. Her driver made 1t
plain that only high-grade car would
stand the strain without frequent in
terruptions for service. The desire TO
avoid being shelved also figures, and
statesmen wisely capitalize this. Re
Gently a dealer sent his most promising
salesman to a Summer resort with

good way to interest a little old lady

shot across the railroad tracks without

came up cautiously and then shifted
into second right on the tracks. "A
crossing is no place for experiments in
gear-shifting. Shift before you reach
the tracks and let the engine idle

Now that the manufacturers are Offer
ing a device that keeps the engine au-
tomatically cranked, so long as the ignt-

to suggest the quickest way for woman
to recrank stalled engine.
First of all. don't pull on the hand
brake and keep the clutch pedal to the
floor. Don't pull out the choke, but
open the throttle from the hand control
on the steering post. Press on the start
er button. Invariably the engine will
start.
BY following this procedure the car
will keep moving little under its own
momentum, thus saving the embarrass-
ment of blocking trafic. The car will
be in gear and ready to pick up speed
lust as soon as the engine starts.

all public places and particularly school
zones tried desperately to warn a
needless kiddie when passing a school
house recently but the horning Of three
other cars whose drivers were simply
trying to let the darlings know that

Add these automotive oddities Of the

his family for a ride through the sub
urbs at a speed not exceeding 10 miles

In a city which is very strict about
requiring drivers to come to a full step
before crossing or turning into a
through street it was noticed that an
unusual number of women failed to
observe the regulations at one tntersee-
ton. Most of the drivers who turned
left on the boulevard to climb a short,
steep hill simply went ahead. Those
turning right stopped.
The police became curious, decided to
halt a few of the ladies and discovered
that each driver believed she was saw
ing her engine by this procedure. The
ladies might have gotten away with it
EXCEPT for the observing officers, who
noticed that in every instance Of viola
ton the driver was forcing the motor in
high instead of helping 1t in q lower

BALTIMORE, September 26.-Fail-
ure of automobile owners to notify the
commissioner Of motor vehicles Of ac-
dress changes is responsible for con-
fusion and congestion at the end Of the
year, when registration plates are
issued, according to Col. E. Austin
Baughman.
"One of the serious causes of con-
fusion in the annual tag rush Is due
to the fact that many auto owners do
not receive the blanks which this office
mails out to them in advance Of the
rush." said Baughman.
This is due to the fact a large per-
centage Of autoists fail to notify the
commissioners Office that their ad-
dress has been changed since they re-
ceived their tags for the current year.
Thousands of car owners have moved
and left no forwarding address. The
result is that the blanks 60 to the old
address and eventually are returned
here.
"Out Of the more than 100000 appli-
cations mailed last December between
10000 and $4,000 were returned to the
commissioners ONCE"
Next week Col. Baughman will start
sending 1892 applications to the tax
collectors Of the cities and counties in
the State. These must be returned

for 1881 before 1882 tags are issued.

AVERAGE CITY MILES
1000 Found in Seven Lsrgest
MUNICIPALITIES.

NO one has ever taken the trouble
to tabulate the mileage of streets in
the United States, but for every square
mile of city there are 20 miles OF streets,
according to z. z. Duffy, highway edu-
cational writer. The seven largest
cities have an average of 1000 miles.
So it can be said that there are
hundreds Of thousands Of miles IN tho
entire cour+-..
Neither has there been a survey
which shows the mileage of streets
designed and built for first class motor
ing, but, as casual survey will indi-
cate, there are far more miles of poor
streets than there are Of FIRST class
streets.
