How's She Hittin'?
BY JAMES F. DONAHuE


While automobile drivers will take

ignition system and other mechanical
details Of car. there is one adjust
ment that Is grossly neglected head
light alignment.
Improper adjustment of head
lamps Is not only an Inconvenience
to the driver Of the car, but It also
places other drivers on the road un.
der q handicap.
Modern lamps are designed to elm
mate glare In the other fellows eyes
and. II they get out Of line the least
bit, they throw their dazzling light
directly into the eyes Of oncoming
drivers, often causing accidents In
addition, they do not give proper IL
Elimination Of the road at night and
cause trouble for their owner.
The door Of your garage can be used
as q screen In testing your lights.
Drive your car to within about Is
feet from the door. Find the distance
OF the center Of the headlights from
the ground and then draw q line on
the door at that height.
Place normal load in your car
and switch on the upper beams Of the
dual-filament lamps. The tops Of
the beams should fall just a bit below
the horizontal line on the garage
door. If they don't, raise or lower
the lamps until they do.
Each lamp should be tested separ-
ately. A bulb can be pulled from one
while testing the other, or q piece Of
black cloth can be put over the one
to block off the light while the other
is being tested.

them clean. During summer, insects
and mud are spattered over them.
This substance cakes on the lights
and cuts down the amount Of light

A good material to clean off this
caked material Is q mixture Of lamp
black and alcohol. Apply this with q
wet cloth and rub vigorously. Go over
the glass with a dry rag afterward
and 1t will leave lamps spick and
span.
In the cleaning operation, do not
neglect the metal reflector inside the
lamp.
This curved holder is really the rea-
son why you get so much light from
such a small bulb. Today most of

TROOPERS ROUT
MINE PICKETS:
illinois Soldiers Lay Down
Tear Gas Barrage.

By United Press
TAYLORVILLE, Ill. Sept. %. -
Two hundred men and women
pickets fell back in confusion under
a tear gas attack today after they
had dehed orders of national
guardsmen who ordered them not
to interfere with reopening of the
Peabody coal mine at Langleyville,
near here.
The pickets had gathered at the
mine entrance, despite instructions
by state troopers that no picketing
would be permitted.
More than $50 guardsmen, includ-
ing machine gun detachment,
were deployed about the mine prop
erty at a. m. today when the sig
nal was given for 800 men to return
to work in the coal pits.
When the pickets failed to heed
orders to move along, troops sta
toned behind coal cars flung a bar
rage of tear gas bombs. The group
scattered in confusion.
With all pickets routed and quiet
apparently restored, all but a few
guardsmen were returned to bar
racks in the Christian county court
house. They were held ready for
instant movement should picketing
be renewed.

Stewart repudiated two articles
that had appeared in his magazine.
One asserted that Senator Davis
approved every article the magazine
printed. The other described a
meeting of Moose officials, at which
Davis was represented as approving
the charity balls the government
contends were lotteries.
Taken over by the government for

admit that he did not print news of

He said he knew they were tick

porarily his ministerial role and as
sumed the bearing of a fighting

In a hearing before examiner r.
H. Hyde of the federal radio COM
mission, Mr.. Coers charged that the

shadow him in an attempt to find
something with which to discredit
his private life.
The charge was heatedly denied
by Roy D. Blossom, general man

Today's hearing was on an apph-

Fight to Be Carried tc
Adjustment Board by
Professors.

Taxpayer groups turned to the
newly created tax adjustment board
today in their fight on rates which
total more than the 1882 levy, with
fixing of the couuty's share at ALPS
cents on each 500 taxable property.
The council completed its scrutiny
of the 1888 budget Thursday, after
slashing 100000 from appropriation
requests submitted by county Of
ficials.
A total budget of $2.658,57O was
approved, of which 81 1873 is
for operating expenses.
Combined 1888 levies for the
county, civil city and school city
equal the 1882 levy for all units of
government.
Total Amount Over So
When township and state levies
are added, the 1888 tax rate will rise
to more than So, unless relief is
given, officials say.
The stax adjustment board will
meet Monday, but is expected to en-
counter obstacles in attempts to
make reductions. This group has
power to fix the levy above the $3.50
tax limit.
Division of the board personnel
is such that many officials and tax
authorities predict members finally
will abandon their task without cut
ting the levies.
Should this happen, taxpayers
will appeal their case to the state
tax board, as in former years.
Levy Probably Will Hold
The county levy of 41,25 cents
probably will hold because four
members of the tax adjustment
board helped fix it. They are Coun-
ty Auditor Charles A. Grossart,
Walter o. Boetcher, council presi-
dent, and Councilman John New
house and Charles Resener.
Three citizens, appointed to the
board by Circuit Judge Harry o.
Chamberlin, are expected to fight
for reduction of the county, civil
city and school city levies. They are
Albert E. Uhl, real estate man;
Nicholas H. Noye. industrialist, and
Leo K. Fesler, former county audi
tor.
Politics also may play it's part in
blocking tax reduction, one member
of the board predicted today.
to 3 Majority Needed
A five to three ma jority is neces-
sary for any action, therefore three
members can keep the rate from
being approved, resulting in appeal
to the state board.
The county levy is divided as fol-
lows: Sinking fund, II cents; gen.
eral fund, 2175 cents; tuberculosis
fund, 2.5 cents. In Center township,
an additional three-quarters of a
cent will be required to meet three
mile road bonds, bringing the levy,
certified today, to AZ cents.
With Oct. / final date for certify
ing 1888 levies, first townships to
file their approval with County
Auditor Charles A. Grossart today,
and the amounts, were Wayne,
S1.429; Lawrence, s1.53; Pike, SO
cents; Woodruff Place, 81; Speed
wa City. IS cents; Lyndhurst, 81
cents, and Beech Grove, IS cents.
The tax adjustment board also
must consider a civil city levy Of
S1.30 and school levy of s1.08.

he will continue occupation of his
office and conducting duties of the
post.
It's their move, but possession

stated. Until the council resorts

BY vote of 9 to 3, the council

Gilman, was elected mayor pro tenn,
until the council meets Oct. 4 to

til the regular election in Novem-

Conviction Held Excuse
Conviction of Dale in May in fed
eral court for conspiracy to violate
the prohibition law was cited in the
resolution declaring the Office va
cant. The resolution presumed
the vacancy since the conviction.
Dale has appealed his conviction to
the United States circuit court of
appeals
Because Lester E. Holloway. city
controller and Dale's sor-in-law,
failed to qualify for the Office of
mayor within ten days after the
conviction he was declared ineligible
by the council to succeed Dale as
mayor
If the office of mayor has been
vacant since May, some one has
done a good. job of running the city
the last four months" Dale said. Il
have continued to hold office, sign
ordinances and conduct all other
duties of mayor"
According to Dale, the Tucker act,
passed by the state legislature in
1921 and under which the council
took its action, was declared uncon-
stitutional several years ago in
Lake county superior court.
Dale Ready for Fight
I'm the only attempt made to
enforce the act. it was declared UNI
constitutional in a superior court
and never carried further" Dale de-
clared. I'm ready to fight it out

I've got the right to declare all
council chairs vacant, if I cared to
assume extra judicial power the
way the council has, Dale asserted.
Il don't see how the council gets
the right to act for the supreme

Dale referred to the appeal from
his sentence of eighteen months in
federal prison and the $1,000 fine
given him following his conviction.
and his contention that no law ap-
plies until action of a higher court
definitely determines his guilt.
