Forced in Akron

AKRON, O., Sept. 12.-Real estate
value declines in Akron in the last
three years have forced a virtual
moratorium during the last eight
cen months Bankers, real estate
men, mortgage loan companies and
many borrowers recognize this sit
uation. The courts have co-operated,
sometimes going farther than the
bankers liked.
A wave of foreclosures later in
1880 so strained the real estate
market that recovery was impos-
sible until distressed properties
were cleared away.
But, as Harry f. Williams, presi-
dent Of the First Central Trust
Company, said There can be no
factual moratorium because there
are legal complications constantly
demanding foreclosures"

L00PH0LE is FOUND IN
TARIFF ON PETROLEUM
Domestic Oil Industry Confronted
With Unexpected Dilemma,

By Scripps-HOWGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-After
having obtained tariff on petro-
leum in the revenue act of 1882,
under the guise of an excise tax,
the domestic oil industry is con-
fronted with a new and unexpected
dilemma
A wide loophole in the law is
permitting importers to escape the
impost of 212 cents per gallon gaSo-
line by bringing in petroleum naph-
tina, derivative, at z cent per
gallon.
This petroleum product, it was
testified before the commissioner
of customs here, is a motor fuel in
itself, and will operate automobiles,
trucks and tractors without any diff
f1culty.
When mixed over here with cas-
ing-head gasoline, moreover, it
makes better motor fuel, witnesses
said, than the average gasoline sold
in the United States.

No Moratorium Here

BUFFALO, Sept. 12.-There is no
general mortgage moratorium in
this district. The mortgage stu
alton, instead, appears to be tight
ening, as far as credit is concerned.
Figures from the twenty largest
savings and loan associations here
show that while their dues, or pay
ments, have fallen off 81 per cent,
their loans on mortgages have
dropped 40 per cent in year.
Lenders are making it easier for
borrowers, chiefly from necessity
caused by slow real estate mar
ket. Forced sales from foreclosures,
1t is said, generally result in prop
erty bringing only fraction of its
real worth, probably around so per
cent.

TIRE TROUBLES
MAR PLEASURE
OF AUTO TRIPS
Replacing Old Rubber With
New Is Advised by
Company Head.

The glorious weather of an In
diana autumn, subject of story and
rhyme, is an invitation to outdoors
that will be met by thousands in
long auto trips.
These trips will be pleasant as
long as everything goes smoothly,
but what trial they can be when
something goes wrong
The largest number of troubles in
the enjoyment of an auto trip, as
well as the costliest delays in the
use of commercial vehicles, come
from faulty tires.
Easy as it may be to jeer at the
poor motorist who pulls to the side
of the road on a sunny afternoon to
change a tire, it should be re-
membered that for him and the
passengers in the car the pleasure of
an afternoon in the open are
married.
Recommends Fisk Tires
Here, as in most of the affairs of
life, little foresight is far better
than regrets. Reasonable care re-
wards itself, but better than care is
the provision of good tires to begin
with, for no tire can be better than
the materials in it or the workman
ship with which they are put to-
gether.
Charles H. Franck of the Charles
H. Franck Company. SAB East
Washington street, has been OBJ
serving tires for about twenty
years. In his place he has repaired
thousands of them, of all makes and
varieties, and this experience has
enabled him to form some pretty
decided opinions as to the merits
of tires. Franck recommends the
Fisk tire as the safest, most durable
and most satisfactory.
He calls attention to the great
features that have made the Fisk
known so favorably to motorists
the all cord process" the extra
strength built into the carcass, and
the wider tread.
Trouble Is Reduced
These, he points out, make for
safety quite as much as they do for
satisfaction. They can not quite
obviate all trouble, but they reduce
it to such a minimum that the car
with we'll cared-for Fisk tires car
ries its occupants with greater as
surance and greater comfort.
Franck's firm sells Fisk tires be-
cause Of his belief in their value
At the station on East Washington
street, service is given daily to
many makes of tires, cars drive
from the dealers hands to the sta
ton to change all four tires from
factory equipment to Fisks, and a
great number of the largest fleet
owners in the city buy Fisk tires.
G. H. FTanck Company distributes
Fisk tires over central Indiana in
addition to the retail and service
business.

themselves-have been severely
Jared by the events of this week.
The Rockefeller conversion from
a lifelong dry into an ardent re-
pealiSt was an eye-opener; the
defeat of the ultra-dry Senator
Smith w. Brookhart in Iowa, was
Illuminating; the beating admin
istered to Senator Cameron. Nor
rison, a dry, in North Carolina,
was another blow; and Represen-
tative Ruth Bryan Owens defeat
by a Florida wet was still another
shock.
1t seemed probable today that
the convention next week will be
faced with three propositions:
The submission plank which Mr..
Hoover reluctantly has agreed to.
A straight-out repeal plank
fathered by President Nicholas
Murray Butler, of Columbia Uni
versity.
A simple law-enforcement plank
which Senator William E. Borah
of Idaho will father by proxy.
The logical compromise would
seem to be the resubmission plank
which the White House approves.
Yet the temper of the arriving
delegates and the national COM
mitteemen is plainly in advance Of
this proposal.

CHICAGO, June 9 QN.SO -
Abandoning the bone-dry position
of four years ago, President
Hoover has at last consented to
stand for reelection on resub-
mission plank in his 1882 plat
form.
Word to this effect was spread
among members of the national
committee today by direct ennis
saries from the White House
Postmaster General Walter F..
Brown and James r. Garfield.
who has been selected as chair
man of the platform committee.
Both came direct from Wash
ington with what presumably is
Mr.. Hoover's last word on the
controversial subject.
Talk of Repeal Plank
Whether the message that Mr..
Hoover will stand for a resub-
mission plank will be sufficient,
however, to stem the rising tide
of anti-prohibition revolt among
the arriving delegates to the Re-
publican convention remains to
be seen.
The Republican vets have been
enormously encouraged by the
developments of the past week.
And the late conversion of the
President to a reSubmisSion
plank of dubious wording may
not go far enough to suit them.
They are talking more of a
straight-out repeal plan than of a
plank which merely pledges the
party to pose a question of
