/. OIL. c. MEASURE
PASSED BY HOUSE
Goes to Senate-Provides
$1,75O,O 900, 900 for
Home Owners.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
After defeating repeated attempts
to raise the fund to $3,0J0,e00 900,
the House yesterday sent to the Sen
ate the bill which provides an addi-
tional $1,750, 100000 for the Home
Owners Loan Corp. to help mortgage
burdened home owners.
Only two dissenting votes were cast
as the House passed the measure after
hearing members of the Banking
Committee give assurance that the
bill provided sufficient funds to help
deserving home owners in distress.
S250,o0o, 900 Added.
Even so the committee itself had
added $3.50, ,000, 900 to the $1,500,0 ,000.-
900 originally in the measure. It also
wrote in provision that new applica-
tions for help might be filed for so
days after the bill becomes law.
Only eight of two score amend
ments were accepted. One of the
last adopted boosted from $25,000 to
$5O,O0O the limit on loanS-insured
UP to 20 per cent by the Federal
Housing Administration-made by pri-
vate lending agencies for repair and
improvement of commercial structures.
Opposes Section.
Asserting that If the Government
guaranteed these loans 100000 600
would be handed the bankers of the
country, Representative Hancock,
Democrat, of North Carolina demand
ed the entire section covering them
be lifted out of the bill.
The 5000, 1000, 900 is the amount pro-
vided in the housing act for modern
iZation loans on homes.
While they made a last-minute at
tempt to shunt the measure back to
the Banking Committee. the Repub-
ncan opposition to the bill dwindled
down to Representatives Andrews OF
New York and Merritt of Connecticut.

WEEDING THE MOTORISTS

Arizona has shown startling example
to the rest of the states by its action in
canceling all automible drivers licenses.
effective September /, after which time
licenses will only be issued 10 those who
can pass a stiff examination.
If the plan is adhered to. and favoritism
is not permitted to slip in on those tests.
there may be fewer automobiles in Ari-
zona but those which are will be operated
much more carefully than is generally the
case with motorists.
It IS common knowledge that there are
many persons now driving cars who are
not fitted TO do so with any great degree
of safety. 1t is practically impossible
for some to coordinate the action Of
hands, feet, eye and mind so that all will
be under complete control which is a
prime requirement for safety. Again.
the ability to make the right judgment
in the split second of time which the
speed Of a travelling automobile permits,
is entirely beyond the mental capacity
of many who are now permitted TO sit at
the wheel of a powerful machine.
In the face of our frightful national
traffic toll, and despite the acknowledge
ment that only small number of TRACE
dies are due to mechanical defects, little
or nothing has been done to weed out the
faulty drivers. We have contented our
selves with spreading around certain
amount of propaganda, much of which is
ignored by those with the proper mental
capacity to be trusted with an automo-
bile and is absolutely non-eXistant so far
as the mental incompetents are con-
ceTned
1t is a serious situation and one which
will require much thought to find the
proper method of prevention and correc-
ton. Arizona has taken on a gigantic
and decidedly unpopular method of find
ing out what can be done. The law per-
mits all to purchase automobiles. and if
another law forbids the purchaser to use
that which he has bought, there is bound
to be trouble. The success Of the Ari-
zona experiment viii be watched with

DE- soto TELLS
OF ECONOMIES
FOR MI 0T0RIST.

Motorists who watch their gas
budgets should watch the specdom-.
Ctcr if they want to get real gaso~
line economy, according to w. a.
Hilman, director of service for the
De Soto Motor corporation.
Excessive speeds cost the motor
ist as much as rs per cent mora
gasoline per mile" Milnan said.
Tests have proven that the aver
age car will perform at its highest
gasoline efficiency between the
speeds Of 80 and as miles an hour
Hilman pointed out that while
high speed is the chief of the gaso-
lire robbers, over choking and faul-
ty acceleration also take an eX-
pensive gasoline toll.
"A choked car uses four or five
times as much gas as a car that is
i1Elctirk kinG normally. Therefore,
the driver Of car without auto
matte control who is interested in
economy will leave the choke out
no longer than absolutely necessary.
The automatic choking device
which is standard equipment on the
new De Sotcs has cut this loss
through ever choking down to a
minimum, regardless of weather.
Controlled by a thermostatic de
vice the automatic choke allows full
choking when the engine tempera-
ture is below 10 degrees. AS the
engine warns up, the thermostatic
action regulates the choke valve
permitting just the right degree of
fuel richness for efficient and eco
Inomical operation.
If a car owner is budget con-
sciouS he will be wise to give up
the pastime of racing away from
the traffic lights when they change.
High speeds in first and second
gear mean more revolutions-and
more gasoline consumption The
careful driver win get into high
'ear as quickly as possible and stay
there.
There are several points that the
average driver may overlook in his
quest for economical operation,
which are important.
!. Soft tires mean added fric-
5ion-added friction means wasted
cover Wasted power means wasted
gasoline.
2. A weak battery can be a drain
