Treat Kindly

Also, says the consumers d.
vision take good care of
your car wax two 10 four
times a year. This is best pro-
lection. they say, for its finish.
II your income is limited, buy
a can of wax and do the Job
yourself D.. and this is what the
operation consists of:
First, wash the car with a
mild soap and water, then clean
IL thoroughly with good liquid
cleaner before putting on the
wax. II YOU can't do complete
Job at one time. then do it IN
instruments. When the car IS
waved, wipe it lightly with a
clean soft cloth about once
week 10 keep ii looking shiny.
Avoid mixtures that are sup
posed TO clean and wax at the
same time. They usually contain
too much abrasive material and
too little wax. Also avoid oil
type polisheS. They brighten up
the surface Of your car, but give
little protection. and also tend
TO collect dust and dirt.
Park in Shade
Park in the shade whenever
possible. Not only will you pre-
serve your cars finish tires and
upholstery from the suns direct
rays, but you will actually save
money in gasoline. Believe il or
not, your gasoline evaporates
through the small hole in
The tank cap. this evaporation
process is spcodcd up if the car
Is parked in the sunlight
This is the last car you'll Get
for some time -. so treat IL

House Will Vote
Soon On Bill To
Abolish Poll Tax
Extensive Hearings Held
On Bill Introduced By
GeYer Of California

Washington, ID. c. QLNS).-The poll
tax, long opposed by organized labor,
seems facing early abolishment.
The 21S signatures necessary to dis
charge the House Judiciary Committee
from consideration of the Geyer bill to
outlaw the poll tax as IA requirement
for voting in national elections, have
been obtained.
Under the House rules, the bill will
presumably be brought up on Oct. l.,
when the House would vote on whether
to take it up. If the vote is favorable,
House rules provide the bill must then
be voted on without debate.
The House committee held extensive
hearings on the bill, which was intro
duced in January, 1941, by the late
Lee a. Geyer of California, but after
ward refused to report it.
The fight for the measure was con
tinued, however, and gained impetus
with the inclusion of a similar pro
vision in the absentee law recently
enacted permitting members of the
lHlllldIA IDICcS " NttC ~ llltili.
ma jorities cast in favor of the absentee
voting bill are seen as presaging adop-
ton of the anti-poll tax measure.
Supporters Of the Geyer bill say that
tactics employed by Representative
Rankin of Mississippi, warm friend Of
the poll tax, had much to do with
their success in obtaining the required
ma jority of the House membership TO
discharge the measure.
The Geyer bill would affect the s
southern states which require payment
of poll tax, usually 81 or So year,
as Il voting qualification.
A similar bill, introduced by Senator
Pepper of Florida, is now before the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
Both the Geyer and Pepper bills
have been endorsed by organized labor,

should have had the joy of making

ment ard Government are Jointly adj
ninistering labor policy in one of our
most crucial war industries"
Labor Policies Worked Out
'The men who lead the nations or
ganized shipyard workers, both CIO
and AFL," said Porter, "haye sat down
with representatives of Government
and management to work out policies
and methods for enabling you to make
your greatest contribution to the war
program, as well as ways Of improving
labor conditions for members of both
labor groups"
Porter told of the origin and de-
velopment of the Shipbuilding Stabili-
kzation Committee composed of repre-
Isentatives of labor, management and
Government and went on to say:
''The committee now provides for a
total of 81 members. including II from
management, and II from labor, each
from the CIO and AFL as well as rep
ces concerned. This new, more active
committee met in Chicago last May at
the first National Shipbuilding Con
ference, to interpret situations which
had arisen under the four zone agree
ments, and to consider certain amend
ments to the agreement"
Conference Held High Point
Porter said that the Chicago confer
ence will stand as a high point in the
history of American labor and country
The elimination of wage differen
tials between the shipyards of the
South and those Of any other part OF
the country may have far-reaching eff
fects not only on industry throughout
the Southern States, but on the Who'll,
living standards of these stateS,' he
added.
Thus your leaders, working wit
Government and management repre-
sentatives, have achieved nationa
collective bargaining agreement for tho
shipbuilding industry and they have
achieved it through truly democratic
procedures. At the same time, they
have set up machinery for continue,
cooperation between management anC
, labor and government in solving all the
problems of the industry speedily anC
democratically."

She sensed his feelings before he ex-
pressed them but stifed her own response
to this charming man. Finally he could
no longer hold in the explosion of his love
declaration which came with the fire and
eloquence that only a Latin-American can
give.
When he finished she replied icy:

She told Ramon how she had given up her

He agreed without an instants hesitation
Very well. then Julia said, so you won't
