Milady's Motoring

sary replacement parts in stock and
said he could not complete the job until
the next day. Knowing that another
make Of car carries the same shock alb
sorberS, she secured the part from the
local service station and avoided a days
delay.
The weeks safety sermonet is the
gentle tip to let some air into the car
when the windows steam on a damp
Winter day. Visibility is cut when the
windows cloud up. Either open the
coWl Ventilator or one of the rear win
dows.
A windshield wiper that slows down
when you accelerate or when climbing
hills is nuisance and a danger.
Moreover, it's unnecessary. You can
now attach small reserve tank of sue
ton so that the wiper is carried over
the points of low intake vacuum 1t
is also important to have strong hose
to the wiper and keep the connection
tight. An armored tube is now avail
able for replacement. Women who are
motoring the modern way are having
these changes made.
Speaking Of intake suction brings to
mind letter which l received the
other day from woman who has made
up her mind that there is profit in
knowing something about the theory Of
the automobile She has been wonder
ing how gasoline becomes gas and how
it reaches the cylinders At first she
assumed that the fuel pump forced the
gas into the motor, but service man
explained that the purpose Of this de-
vice was merely to bring the fuel from
the rear tank to the carburetor.
The answer to her query is found in
this matter Of intake suction-the
same thing that operates the suction
| type windshield wiper When the
pistons travel up and down in their
cylinders they pump and suck. Going
downward they suck in fresh gas yapor
/ on every other stroke. The odd stroke
is the power part Of the cycle when the
| ignited gas vapor is expanding and do
1 ing its stuff. On every other upward
| stroke the pistons pump the burned gas
\ out Of the exhaust. On the odd stroke
\ they compress the fresh gas preparatory
/ to ignition.
This suction is sufficient to draw raw
/ gasoline up from the carburetor. This
/ is exactly what happens when yot
start off with cold motor and pull
I the choke control all the way out. AZ
| the motor heats up, however the intake
manifold or piping becomes hot enough
to vaporize the small particles OF raw
| fuel. Thus the motor does not have x
| lift as much, and more air can be ad'
| mitted
From my casual consideration OF thu
subject it seems to me that women arr
| inclined to be bit careless about driv'
ing cars without licenses in State
where operators must carry permit
and be ready to produce them any tim
when at the wheel. just heard OF on
case where woman did not take ou
a license until she had been Stoppet
for speeding and tagged for overstayini
her parking time. In neither case wa
she asked to produce license. But
set her thinking.

1t would be quite according to Hoyle
If your car came back from the auto
laundry with the horn button missing.
Some of the Sir Walter Raleigh stuff
that is offered these days bears scru-
tiny. Like the lad who willingly used
his car to push milady's new car when
her battery failed The whole rescue
came off in fine style, but when she
went to look at the erStwhile beauti-
fully chromed rear bumper she found
1t sadly engraved with the marks Of
the dilapidated bumper of her rescuer's
car.
Speaking of bumpers reminds me to
ask If you have bumped into those lit
tie rubber protectors which clamp over
the modern wide, single-bar bumper?
They cost but so cents apiece. Four or
six will take care of the whole car.
In their newest version they are done
in aluminium, so as to match more
nearly the chrome.
I have Just been asked by woman
driver what kind Of anti-freeze rec
ominend. She says she wants to put
something in the radiator this Winter
and forget it.
For the benefit of others who may
ask the same question, want to en-
phasize the fact that am not in po-
sition to ballyhoo for any particular
kind. I couldn't even if 1 did know
which Is best. Frankly, after listening
to countless arguments on the subject,
] have about concluded that owners
ought to use what fits their own tenn
permanent, and usually the service man
has his customers sufficiently sized up
TO be in logical position to suggest
a suitable selection.
Any woman who wants to put some
thing in the radiator and then forget
about it should be urged to use the sort
of anti-freeze that needs looking after
every couple of weeks. I know of no
anti-freeze that can be trusted all
Winter without an occasional check-up
and any one who tries to give the cool
ing system absent treatment is certain
to get into trouble The boy at the
filing station can upset things merely
bv putting too much water in the
radiator every time you stop for gas
This will lean out the finest Gnti-freeze
cbtainable.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-Boom-
ing commodity prices have increas-
ed the American farmers cash and
potential return on four leading
crops by more than $3.50, 100000.
This huge gain, attributed partly
TO effects of the Roosevelt recovery
program and partly to unfavorable
crop reports was calculated today
on the basis of the increase in pri-
ces of cotton, corn, wheat and oats
since March l.
The figure takes into account the
stocks of these commodities held by
farmers on their farms and the
value of their maturing crops on
the basis OF preliminary estimates
of yield.
Its significance is best realized
when compared with other depres-
sion statistics. 1t is, for example,
equivalent to more than hall the
amount tied up in closed banks. 1t
is almost equivalent to one-half the
years gross farm income, tentative
ly estimated at SIS, 143, 100000.
The increase alone, on the basis
of these figures, more than equals
the gross income of farmers from
crops in 1882 BY crops" is meant
all farm products sold by the farm

er except livestock and livestock
products. The return on crops last
year was estimated in April at $2,-
100000.
If the price can be converted into
crop dollars, it will turn heavy de-
ficit from farm operation in 1882
to tidy profit in 1893. Grain pri-
ces have increased far more than
100 per cent while cotton has in
creased approximately SO per cent
since March l.
The increased values were being
most appreciably felt in the l6 cot
ton states, the great western wheat
plains and the middle western corn
belt.
The current wheat crop, estimat-
ed at 500,000,000 bushels, is worth
at market prices $685., ,000,0 900 more
than at March l prices. In addi-
ton the wheat farmers moved from
farm to market in April and May
100,000,000 bushels of wheat at an
estimated average price increase of
20 cents a buShel. On July l they
had on their farms another 79,000,-
600 bushels which by now has in
creased in price about n cents over
March l figures.
The profit to wheat farmers, how
ever, is less by half than the profit
to corn growers, who in many in
stances must yet convert much of
his crop to pork before he can real
ize on it. They show a paper gain
OF more than a billion dollars on
the basis of IS cent corn against 25
cent corn in March.
Their stocks on farms, amount
ing to 620,903, 900 bushels on July /,
plus an estimated crop of 1884, 900, =
900 bushels represent a total paper
gain of $1,201, ,971 200.
No estimate of the current cotton
crop has been made but a figure of
100000 bales was believed fair. The
increase from six to II cents a
pound between March l and today
means a $25 gain on every bale,
making a total of 1925, 900. To
this may be added another $12,-
100000 to take care of the small
amounts of last years crop still held
by farmers.

WOOD|N
WILL RESIGN
Treasury Head Expected To Re-
linquish Office Due To AZ
Fiction In Throat.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
Tnited Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON July 18. UP
Despite heated official denials, the
belief persisted in circles close to
the administration today that Will
liam H. Woodin secretary of the
treasury would resign from the
cabinet before the end or summer.
Although the latest revival of
reports he would resign met the
prompt reply that Mr.. Woodin
is expected back at his desk next
week" there were Well-informed
persons who believed the secre-
tarys health might cause him to
step from the cabinet.
Others thought disclosure of
Woodin's bargain" stock pur-
chases from j. P. Morgan g. Co.,
several years ago might be the
motivating influence that would de-
eide him to retire politically.
Woodin is recuperating from
throat trouble, his second attack
in recent months. Soon after TAX
ing office he was forced to his
bed. Later a recurrence compelled
him to take a longer rest at his
New York home.
In the early days of the admin
istration, Woodin was at the right
hand of President Roosevelt almost
constantly, working out the emer-
gency banking regulations.
In connection with reports of
his impending resignation three
men received prominent mention
as possible successors. They were
Senator James Couzens, Republi-
can progressive of Michigan; Frank
Walker, Democratic national treas
urer and now "coordinator of CO.
ordinatorS' in the industrial re-
coyery setup; and Joseph j. Ken
nedy, Boston banker and a Roose-
velt campaign leader.
With two former Republicans,
Secretary Ickes and Secretary
Wallace, in the cabinet, some OBJ
servers pointed out that should
Woodin quit, the administration
would not be likely to replace him
with someone from the opposing
party. They believe this factor
would eliminate CouzenS.
So far as Walker is concerned,
it was reported he is happy where
he is and had no desire to enter
the cabinet. The same was said
to be true of Kennedy, enjoying
the cool of his Cape Cod summer
home.

The state department was notified
today by the American embassy in

crash of the plane carrying the

Darius and Stanley Giremas.
Identity of the third person was
not made known, the embassy mere
mentioning that "a third member
Of the crew also was reported lost" ."
Al the state department officials
felt that the report of a third per-
son on the plane was due to the
fact that package containing
mail was found bearing the name of
Citor Jesglaites, of Wilkesbarre, Pa.

He was arrested after negotiat-

With little thought of what he
was doing, the youth went into

With Arthur Hecht of New York
City, Kondrat went for swim in

that a desire seized him to swim
to the other side so that he could
say he had touched Canadian soil.
The rapids which rise 10 feet
or more as they plunge over huge
boulders hid Kondrat from sight.
Hecht dressed and ran to police
for aid. Kondrat was given up as

DR. CONNER
WILL RECOVER

An encouraging report on the
condition of three members of the
family of DR.. c. S. Conner Of this
city, seriously injured in an auto
mobile accident near Live Oaks
Sunday night, was received by The
Press this noon from Mercy hoSpi-
tai, San Diego.
Dr.. Warren F. Fox, county health
officer, in whose department DR..
Conner works, advised that the lat
ter had regained consciousness and
though suffering considerably, is in
satisfactory condition and will re-
cover. DR.. Conner sustained slight
fracture of the skull and painful
lacerations about the head. The
X-ray was to be used tomorrow to
ascertain ii there were injuries to
the pelvis and the hip.
Mrs. Conner suffered a fractured
knee cap and numerous cuts and
bruises. The injured knee was
placed in a cast this morning and
she was reported resting comfort
ably.
Randall Conner their 12-year-
old son, who was recovering from
a fractured leg received in the acci-
dent at the fair grounds last March,
suffered another fracture just be-
low the old one, in Sundays acci-
dent. His general condition is re-
ported excellent.
The crash in which the three
were injured occurred while they
were returning to Ell Centro from
a visit to friends at Point Iona
over the weekend. Their car was
struck by another machine driven
by Mrs. Alameta Heys of San Diego,
while rounding a curve.
George and Ralph Conner, older
sons, are in San Diego. All the Con-
ner boys have been employed by
The Press for years as carriers and
in the circulation department. The
sympathy of this paper and of their
many friends throughout the val
ley is extended to the family in
their present misfortune.
