Motorists Guide
By Bruce RoaoeH


This is the first of series of
articles for the average car driv-
er. The editor and writer both
hope they win prove interesting
and be of real service for those
who do not have a complete UNDER
standing of an automobile and it's
upkeep.
The one place a motorist goes
more than any other In his car Is
to the service station. This arti-
Gle tells what service you should
expect from a first class station.
First you should select an Or
ganizatlon that has set a high
standard of service for itself. One
made up of experienced men who
can guarantee you satisfaction.
There are five different services
the motorist should expect when
entering a service station. These
five services each have distinct
value in the upkeep of your car.
First--Your windshield should
be clean inside and out. To have
clear vision in all kinds of wea-
Their makes driving more pleasant
and prevents accidents. This SER
vice when performed every time
you drive into a station is worth
as much as $500 per month. To
you it may not be worth quite as
much, but you will agree it has
definite value.
Second Your rear glass should
be thoroughly cleansed to enable
you to get clear vision behind
through your mirror This SER
vice is likely just as important as
always having aclean windshield,
adding to pleasure of driving and
decreasing hazards.
Third-Your radiator should al
ways be checked and full of wat
err. If you should drive only a
short distance without water you
raight have repair bill amount
ing to several dollars. l believe
you will agree that this service
prevents a portion of repair bills.
Fourth-Your motor oil should
always be checked 1t is a COM
Portable feeling when driving to
know your crankcase has suffic-
lent oil insufficient oils can cause
an expensive repair bill. You can
readily see the value of this check
ing service received each time you
drive in without the asking.
Faith Your tires should be
checked on every call to insure the
proper initiation. Tire manufac-
tureis have proven by road and
laboratory tests that tires give %
percent better mileage when kept
properly inflated. The amount of
this saving is obvious. This SER
vice Is always performed without
the asking.
do not know whether the read
er has ever thought of these SER
vices in just this way, but experts
agree to receive this service every
time you drive in the service sta
ton is worth as much as $3.50
month in savings and convenience
in the operation of an automobile
Next week we will discuss lubri-
cation.

On October 80, 1917, the fund
was incorporated in Illinois, with
the chartered purpose. 1.-THE Well
Being of Mankind" On April 80,
1888, 1t was expanded to the pres
ent high level. Mr.. Rosenwald as
president and treasurer, carried the
greater part of administrative du-
ties. assisted by Francis w. Shep-
ardson, secretary, and acting di-
rector of the south The Funds
activities were supervised by Mr.
S. L. Smith of Nashville, and was
reorganized in 1928 with full time
officers.
Major Health Contribution
The 1888 report shows the
Funds activities in health conferred
on three major programs. Devel-
opment of Provident Hospital, in
Chicago; the Andrew Memorial
hospital, Tuskegee; and the Flint
Goodridge hospital billiard Uni
versity, New Orleans. These insti-
tutions are demonstrations of high
standards of service to patients,
and a training center for Negro
physicians, nurses, and administra-
tive staffs. They are strategically
located in a northern city, south
ern city, and a southern county.
Provident hospital has built up
fine Negro medical staff, and Of
fers postgraduate instruction and
experience to physicians and health
workers. Flint-Goodridge hospital
at billiard University, is one of the
chief opponents of the Provident
plan. White and Negro doctors
working in cooperation, have an
out-patient department that is
steadily growing. A penny day
hospital insurance provides a max
mum of three weeks ward care
annually.
Andrew Memorial hospital on
Tuskegee campus, Is in cooperation
with the school, and serves $4,000

Less Delinquency Here
Held Due to Bows Clubs

The role Of the Metropolitan
Police Boys Clubs in reducing juve-
nile delinquency was discussed by
Maj. Ernest w. Brown. superin-
tendent Of police, before members
Of the Cosmopolitan Club yesterday
at the Carlton Hotel.
Pointing out that while 18 per
cent Of the inmates Of penal insti-
tutions are under 81 years of age,
Maj. Brown traced q steady reduc-
ton In the number of youths ar
rested since the founding of the
boys clubs.
In 1888, he said, 354 youths under
II were arrested here by police. With
the formation of the boys clubs in
1884 the arrests dropped to 80. Dur
ing 1885 they were reduced to 215,
and 1877 in 1886. In 1887, he said,
there were only 81 such arrests and
during the first 10 months of 1898
only 66.

Some Senators Plun Move
But La Toilette
Stands Firm
BY the Associated Press,


Senator Schwellenbach, Demo-
crat, of Washington said today four
or five colleagues would seek addi-
tional funds to permit the Civil Lib
critics Committee to continue its in
vestigation of industrial labor dis
putes.
Chairman La Toilette said, how
ever, he would stand by his promise
to the Senate last May to wind
up the committees affairs as soon
as it completes series of reports,
the first Of which was filed yes
terday.
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of
Utah, the other committee member,
has said he also felt bound by Sen
ator La Follette's pledge, given when
the Senate granted $4,000 to sup
plement the $95,000 the committee
previously had received.
Senator La Toilette said the COM
mittee probably would push its in
vestigation into the activities Of
employers associations in California,
~ AlOAS AAAOAASy oAlOAAA NC AloOC avail
able. A preliminary inquiry was
made there last fall.
He said yesterdays report on
strike breaking services would be
followed by similar reports on pri-
vate industrial police forces, use of
munitions in strikes, activities of
employers associations, industrial
espionage and the Little Steel"
strike.
Drawing a picture of industrial
violence from 1888 through 1887,
the committee recommended that
Congress pass legislation to prevent
employers from hiring strike break
ers.
A two-year investigation had
shown, the committee said, that
many strike breakers stem from the
underworld, that they increase,
rather than prevent, strike violence,
embitter tense situations and pre-
vent the exercise of the right of free
speech.
