Milady's Motoring

Suddenly one CT the women became
aware that in spite of the activity there
was very little noise. Seeing no heavy
drapes or carpeted floor, she inquired
as to the explanation for the silencing

sheets that form the ceiling" her
friend explained. Noise passes up
through these holes, is trapped and

only that the engineers use different
size holes so as to pick out various
notes which are particularly annoying
The old-fashioned way to muffle the
motor was to trap the gases. Now they
let the gas go straight through and just
pick out the noise"

Limited Way Need.

One Of the American city's great
needs Of the day, certainly a need Of
vast importance to the metropolitan
motorist, is the limited way or through
highways built above or below ordinary
grade streets, which tend to give auto
mobiles the same facility of movement
in congested areas now enjoyed in rural
districts.
The presence of limited ways in
city saves motorists thousands of dol
lars in time, operating costs and acct
dent penalties. Their absence results
in retarded traffic, innumerable motor
ing complexities and the general de-
feat Of the modern automobiles efficient
ubiquity.
Such are the opinions of Dr.. Miller
McClintock, director of the Albert Rus
sci Erskine. Traffic Bureau at Harvard
University. DR.. McClintock has Just
completed thorough study of motor
traffic in the city of Chicago and has
the Greater Chicago traffic area" for
the Illinois Commission on Future Road
Program. Moreover, DR.. McClintock's
views on limited ways are augmented
by similar studies and surveys of many
other American cities
Construction of limited ways in Chi
cago will afford the hundreds of thou
SANDS OF vehicles which move in and
out of the city daily something of that
same facility of movement which is en-
Joyed on the highways in the open areas
beyond the city" reads DR.. McClin-
tock's report. Economic wastes will be
eradicated and economic benefits will
be developed in sufficient amount where
traffic is heavy to justify the cost and
expense of limited ways and the use OF
automotive vehicles and user revenues
will be greatly stimulated"
What is true of Chicago is true Of
every large city, DR.. McClintock states
Limited ways are a prime economic
necessity Of every metropolis" he says
"Cities realizing this now will be greatly
benefited; cities not realizing it will
have cause for regret. The limited way

Two Easy Operations.
There are two simple maintenance
operations which should be attended to
a. this time of the year by every car
owner on the theory that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure, a
bulletin issued by the chemical group
of the Motor and Equipment Manufac-
turers Association points out.
The first of these pertains to the
draining and flushing of the cooling
system. Unless the anti-freeze mixture
In the radiator is of the year round
variety dangerous and destructive over
heating should be avoided first of all by
draining out the anti-freeze. Before
new water is added to the radiator,
however, the entire cooling system
should be thoroughly flushed.
Accumulated sludge and rust, eSpe-
cially In the modern high-speed and
high compression motors, can quickly
cause overheating However, there are
a number of specially developed radla-
tor cleaners now available which make
the removal of rust and dirt simple
operation. These usually come with full
instructions for use or any service man
can perform the operation for minor
charge. Furthermore. future accumula
tions can be eliminated through the
addition of rust preventatives which
now are available
The other maintenance operation
which can be performed in the Spring
to greatest advantage has to do with
the cars appearance. Body finishes
can be cleaned and restored to new
car luster through the use of the many
excellent cleaners and polishes now
available Tops which have been

and intermittent sunshine can be re-
vitalized through the application of

be dry cleaned just as efficiently and as
thoroughly as suit of clothes with
specially prepared materials that arc

COMMISSION FACES
REGROUPING PLAN
Strong Likelihood Group Will Be
Absorbed by One of the
Departments.

Though President Roosevelt has re-
appointed Judge Eugene o. Sykes to the
Federal Radio Commission, 1t is not at
all certain that the commission will
escape the planned-f reorganization
Of Government departments and other
agencies. Before the year is out, there
Is a strong likelihood that the commits
sion will either be absorbed by one of
the departments or re-created as a
commission on communications.
The remaining opening on the Radio
Commission, the fourth or Middle
Western zone post vacated last Summer
by Maj. Gen. Saltzman, appears to be
slated to go to James H. Hanley, Omaha
attorney, on the recommendation of
Arthur E. Mullen, Democratic national
committeeman from Nebraska, who had
been promised the job either for him
self or for man of his selection.
Mr.. Hanley has been identified with
Nebraska politics for many years, hav-
ing long been member Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee. He was
secretary to the late Congressman Lo-
beck OF Omaha until 1919, and in 1922
was a candidate for Congress At one
time he was Federal prohibition di-
rector for Nebraska. The Minnesota
delegation in Congress had a candidate
for the radio post in Clifford w. Bou-
vette, Of Hallock, MINI, publisher of
the weekly Kittson County Enterprise
but Is believed to have withdrawn him

pated, and Judge Sykes will probably be

Is the only remaining member of the
original commission established in 1927
A Mississippi Democrat, he was re-
named entirely on merit proved during
his six years of service on the commits
sion and more particularly last year as
chairman of the American delegation
to the International Radio Conference
at Madrid.
Appointed By Hoover.
Judge Sykes, in fact. was appointed
by former President Hoover shortly be-
fore the latter forsook his Office. Mr..
Hoover also named Prof j. c. Jensen of
Nebraska Wesleyan Universitys radio
station, WCAJ. but Jensen a Repub-
llcan, failed Of confrma ton by the
Senate.
The commission will continue func-
tloning as usual for the time being at
least. but its future remains in doubt
Rumors persist that some of the hold
over members and Brown
Republicans. and Starbuck, Democrat
may not retain their jobs It is also
expected that the Roosevelt economy
move will lead to further inroads not
only on the appropriations, but the per-
sonnet OF the commission. The Demo-
Gratis have at hand the posts of general
counsel and secretary to fill vacated by
the recent designations of Duke M
Patrlck and James w. Baldwin.

Forty-seven Varieties
In One City


In One City
There is a mass Of evil
dence already assembled by
the Federal Government that
proves how deep is the dis
grace and how high the cost
of racketeering in this
country today.
The racketeer has invaded
almost every branch of in
dustry and is getting rich
and powerful on the prof
it's that he EFFORTS from his
victims.
A recent Federal inquiry
developed the fact that in
one of our largest Eastern
cities there are forty-seven
different kinds of rackets
thriving on blackmail and
other forms of extortion at
the present time.
How the racketeers opera
ate was vividly described
by William D. Mitchell, now
a citizen of New York, be-
fore he relinquished the Of
flee of Attorney General of
the United States to Mr..
Cummings.
If the Senate doubts the
wisdom of turning the light
upon racketeering, let it ap-
point the special committee
proposed by the senior Sena-
tor from New York and
summon this former At
torney General. He can tell
the committee some things
about racketeering our
head servants at Washing
ton ought to know.
Here are some Of the facts
which Mr.. Mitchell broad
cast to the Nation shortly
before leaving office:

In a large American city,
it was found that organized
gangs were extorting trib-
ute from honest citizens en-
gagged in the business Of
buying and selling fresh
fruits and vegetables. This
particular racketeer gang
refused to permit any COM
mission house to unload and
transport by trucks a single
carload Of foodstuffs except
upon payment of $25 per
car to the racketeers.
Another gang unearthed by
Federal inquiry was extort-
ing tribute from the poultry
trade in a large city. Still
another gang of racketeers
held up the building trades
for tribute and forced To-
cal contractors to pay ex-
tortionate prices for the
privilege of doing business.
But the victim who suf-
fers most from the racke-
teer is not the business con-
Germ which pays him tribute
in order to continue in busi-
ness.

His food and clothing and

him far more than they

By dragging into the light
and broadcasting to the Ma
tion the appalling facts
about organized crime and
the high cost of racketeer-
ing, a Senate committee
such as Senator Copeland
has called for, can arouse
a public sentiment that will
compel State and local gov
ernments to wage a war that
will end racketeering by
putting the racketeer be-
hind the bars.

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland

The average girl is heartily
weary of being told how to
capture" a man, how to "get"
a husband, how to make" a
boy friend and how to win" a
mans heart. Above all, she is
tired of being told how to
"hold a mans love-" She doesn't
want the kind of love that has
to be locked in a safety vault
or kept in a thermos-bottle.
And she's not going to work
overtime to keep a weak love
alive by artificial stimulation.
This business Of putting
on a show" in order to hold
a mans interest or to catch
his fancy, is as moth-eaten
as grandmother's rag-bag and
as mid-Victorian as a sea-shell
on the mantelpiece.
A girl is much too busy
these days to bother with a
man who has to be played-up-
to, blindfolded or bamboozled
like a naughty six-year-old boy.
No modern girl can see why
she should feed a man apple
sauce and flattery, keep all
her real opinions and senti-
ments in moth-balls or let
him bore her to death talking
about-himself, all evening, just
in order to make him think
he is marrying a moron. 1t
will be too much of a shock
to him, after the wedding, to
wake up and find himself tied
to a human being.
If you are a mans TYPE, he
will fall in love with you, no
matter what you say or what
you do or how you look. And
he will love you just as well
with a shiny nose in your old
house pajamas, as when you
have just stepped out of a
beauty parlor.
A mans love is like blue eyes
or a sense of humor. If you
have it, you HAVE it-and
nothing can take it from you.
And if you haven't got it
