 In winter you wear a hat to pro. tect your head, especially if your hair has gone A. w. o. L. or Is "fev and far between" But you can't put hats on your tires, which suf- fer cruelty when ice and snow abound.
 If your head is bald you can't remedy 1t by putting on @ new head. But if you are driving with bald headed tires the cure is sim pie and very necessary-new tires Nothing can deceive you quicker or do you more dirt than e tire with tread worn smooth. A real hazard in summer, 1t becomes Q deadly menace in winter.
 Cars don't skid as much as they did formerly, mostly because the tire makers, in creating balloon tires and equipping them with mar velously scientific treads have giv- en them better ability to hold the road. But when you let your treads get down to a nice smooth nothing ness you offset all the skill of the tire men and are deliberately look ing for real trouble.
 It would not occur to you to put roller skates on your car. That is about what you are doing when you try to drive over an icy or sleety road on tires with bald scalps Chains won't help much with tires in that condition. Chains, however with properly dreaded tires are the best security for safety. You may be the worlds best driver but bald headed tires will do you in never theleSS.

POLITICS WILL
 RULE CONGRESS
Roosevelt Regime in Final Lap Will Face Fighting
 C. o. P. Crowd
By IT. o. THOMPSON United Press StafR Correspondent)

United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 3-(UP)-The first Roosevelt administration goes into it's last lap today as house and senate meet in an election year. Democratic leaders striving for an early adjournment realize the odds are against them in any effort to send congress home before June. Presidential politics and foreign af- fairs dominate senate interest and invite the first laundering oratory of the second session of the 74th congress. One-third of the senate is up for reelection this year. All members of the house must submit to the polls. The nation will choose president.
 c. o. P. Are Fighting
 Republicans are fighting on all fronts. But political observers be- lieve their best opening is in the house where the democratic party now enjoys a htree-to-one control which scarcely can be maintained by that margin after next Novem- Der. Some g. O., p. enthusiasts pre- dict control of the house will swing across the center aisle after the election. This is not likely unless President Roosevelt also loses and as of today 1t appears he still is the national choice.
 Politics I'm Senate
 Politics stirs the senate deeply be- cause for the first time in. IS years there is @ real chance that the re- publican national convention may look to congress next June for a presidential candidate. Sen. Will liam E. Borah, r., of Idaho, and Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, r., of Mich, are the lightest dark horses. Sen. Charles L. McNary, r., of Ore. and Sen. L. J. Dickinson, r., of Iowa, are 8 midnight black pair. Rep. James w. Wadsworth, r., of New York, a former senator who lost his upper house seat in 1926 largely because he had dared to vote aganist pro- hibition, is a possible but not prob- able republical choice. Less likely would be the nomination of Rep. Hamilton Fish, also Q New York re- publican, whose recent nationwide campaigning is beginning to be re- garded as a bid for the vice-presi- dential tap.
 The senate will have little busi- ness before 1t for the first few weeks and can give free expression to its fondness for unlimited debate on any subject any senator may de- sire to raise.
 Supplies Are Ready \
 The snuff -boxes near the vice. presidents dais have been filled; the plotting sand is on every senator's desk, the free barber shop is in op- eration, there is Q plentiful supply of free mineral water, overstuffd chairs and divans in cloak-rooms and Hobbies have been carefully pre- pared to rest tired senatorial bodies.
 The house has fewer comforts but more immediate business. All ap- propriation measures must originate in the house and sub-conmittees are ready with the first of the rout- inc supply bills.

OUT Of TITLE RACE
Lose to Orioles, 13 to 7, as
Richmond Arrows Go
Back Into Lead.

THE Washington Pros abandoned
hope Of annexing the second
half title of the Dixie Profess
sional Foot Ball League today
following their 1877 loss to the Balti-
more Orioles yesterday at Griffith
Stadium, while the Richmond Arrows
jumped back into first place with
an impressive 1915 victory over the
Portsmouth Cubs at Richmond.
Before a gathering of 1900 the
Orioles wasted little time in launching
their bid. Tucking Willis Benners
opening kickoff to his tummy, Ted
Wright galloped 80 yards to touch
down as the Pros, slow getting down
the field, were cut down by deadly
blocking. Frank Masters failed to
boot the extra point.
Score on Long Pass.
BALTIMORE took to the air in the
second quarter to score when
Masters chucked a 40-yard pass to
Reisse, left end, who grabbed the ball
over his shoulder on the run and
scampered the remaining 20 yards to
a touchdown. Masters converted the
extra point from placement.
Content to nurse its lead, the Orioles
encountered considerable difficulty as
the Pros scored in the third period and
threatened repeatedly in the final
quarter. Dick Nelson uncorked a fiat
10-yard pass to Benner, a teammate
at Maryland University several seasons
ago, who scooted As yards to the goal
line. Benner nearly was nabbed by
Wright at the 2o-yard line. but ma
neuvered the Baltimore star out Of
position and continued his trip un-
touched.
Pros Air Game Fails.
I EE CARLIN, Nelson and Benner
placed the Pros in scoring position
four times on running plays, but each
time the local eleven advanced into
pay-off territory it deserted its running
attack for a stab at passing, which
proved futile. The Orioles checked the
Pros twice at the 20-yard line, once
at the IL and again at the 9.
Johnny Fenlon, former George
Washington University ace, paced the
Richmond Arrows to yitocry. Fenlon
broke away for a 48-yard scoring run
in the third period and passed TO
Freddy Vaughan for another touch
down.
