A 150 foot con-veyor carries the car from the checking room to a turn table. As the car is carried along on the conveyor each employee has a certain work to do in the turning out of the clean car. The interior of the car Is cleaned by vacuum process. The car itself goes through the process of a shower bath before the body Is washed and the running gear cleaned and then the car gets a chamois rub and the glass gets a high polish before It Is turned back to you all dolled up.

Borah: "We Paid It and We Paid It All" "Every now WASHINGTON. dwells on aspects of France's assistance to us in the Revolution anil asserts that we still owe France for loans then re-ceived," Senator Borub said In the sen-ate the other day: "As t matter of fact. Mr. President, the United States paid France every dollar of the debt Incurred at that time a full settlement at a higher rats of interest than we are now pro-posing to ask," he said. Here Senator Borah had for antag-- , onlst a recognized specialist In the in tricacies and the traditions of Franco-America- n finance at the time of the Revolution, especially In the matter of the loans which Ilenjamln Franklin negotiated with the French financier, adventurer, and dramatist, ' Beau-marchnl- That antagonist was Sena-tor William Cabell Bruce of Mary-land, author of the monumental two-volu- "Benjamin Franklin Mr. Bruce said: ' "The senator is aware, of course, that France made some very large gifts to the people of the United States during the war of the Revolution?" Borah replied, "I have not been able to find any record of them." Then they came to grips the spe-cialist on Frunklln and on Lafayette fencing with the widely read man who still outspeclullzed the specialist. Borah knew all the Intricacies of the Franklin-Beauiuarchal- s dlckeringa how the French government refused to take any risk in connection with them, how alleged gifts were no gifts at all, but loans, which were ultimately paid In full ; how Lafayette, coming to help us, had to leave France In se-crecy In order to escape being over-hauled by a government that did not want us to be helped. He quoted Frunklln and Beaunmrchals, and Alex-ander Hamilton and VVoodrow Wilson, and, having driven Bruce of Maryland nearly frantic with his citations, ha wound up by contemptuously brushing all the citations aside and saying: "Mr. President, those things are only Interesting at this time to stay possi-bly the continued criticism that the United States Is ungrateful and Is as-suming the attitude of an lngrate in not forgiving this debt because of the services of France In the American Revolution. France Joined with Amer-ica in that contest, but she Joined with America because It was to her Interest to do so. France loaned America money because It was to her Interest to do so. She loaned the money. We paid It, and we paid It all." And What a Ruction E. T.

And once Wisconsin starts, Canada, the dozen states and the eighty large cities Involved may chime In. But since his work stdrted the bat-tle, Edward T. Cahill, now of Wash-i- - lngton, D. C, has never so much as received public mention. He had spent i all of his earnings as a Chicago attor- - ney, and almost all of his time for years, to bring about the recent ver-dict of the United States Supreme court that Chicago was Illegality dry-ing np the Great Lukes. Ever since 1908 efforts have been made to restrain Chicago from turn-ing huge quantities of water from the Great Lakes into the Desplalnes river In order to dispose of her sewage. Cab 111 was of counsel representing the attorney general of Wisconsin In the action started at that time. He had made the study of navigable water-ways and the laws governing them his life work. The case dragged for years In the courts until finally Just before he re-tired from the bench, Judge Landls decided that the diversion of water above the War department allotment was Illegal. Then In 1921 the Supreme court held the Desplalnes a navigable river subject to the ordinance of 1787. Mr. Cahill went to Attorney Gen-eral William J. Morgan of Wisconsin. Mr. Morgan beenme Interested at once and si'urted the proceedings that have resulted In a Supreme court decision holding Chicago to be diverting lake water Illegally. Cnnii'lu, all of the states from Wisconsin to New York along the northern part of the United States and every large Greut Lake city Joined in the fray. To Restore the Robert E. Lee Mansion soldier who came from Michigan and who served four years under Custer nnd Sheridan," said Mr. Crumton. "If huppened that his service was mainly in this parrot the country. General Lee was the outstanding military fig-ure of the Confederacy, and I have felt that there was a propriety In the son of a Union soldier offering this tribute to the military leader of the Confed-eracy and to Robert E. Lee as an In-dividual. , a T THE request of Represent a- - tlve Cramton of Michigan, the honse adopted a resolution au-- 1 thorlzlng the restorotlon of the former home of General Robert E. Lee in Arlington cemetery, across the Po-tomac river from Washington In Vir-ginia. The resolution authorizes the secre-tary of war to restore the mansion as nearly as possible to the condition In which It was prior to the Civil war, and to procure, if possible, articles of furniture and equipment which were then In the mansion. Replicas are to be obtained where the original pieces are not available. The resolution states that "now hon-- i or Is accorded Robert E. Lee as one of the great military leaders of history, whose exalted character, noble life and eminent services nre recognized and esteemed, and whose manly at-tributes of precept and example were compelling factors in cementing the American people in bonds of patriotic devotion and action against common external enemies In the war with Spain and In the World war, thus consuro- - mating the hope of a reunited country that would again swell the chorus of the Union." "I am myself the son of a Union Such action would he a tangible recognition by the country, North and South, that the bitterness of other days Is entirely gone; that we can recognize the worth of an American, wherever he was born or In whatever army he may have served. I believe that It Is unprecedented in history for a nation to have gone through as great a strug-gle as we did In the Civil war and so bitter a struggle as that was, and In the lifetime of men then living to see the country so absolutely reunited as la our country at this moment. "In the Spanish-America- n war and In the World war the world was given tangible evidence, conclusive proof, of the actuality of the runlon, and I feel that there was no man In the South who did more by his precept and ex-ample to help bring about that condi-tion than did Robert E. Lee." Policewomen Would Establish Reforms an ambitious program WITHthe education of the the work of the policewomen and for curbing delinquency among girls the Interna-tional Association of Policewomen, of which Lieut.

Complicated legislation, which Is so Involved that It often defeats its own ends. Is seen as an obstacle to traffic and highway safety by Thomas P. Henry, president of the American Au-tomobile association. He issued a statement requesting all Three A adul-ated motor clubs throughout the coun-try to urge upon all car owners the vital necessity of developing a sense of personal as well as group responsi-bility In driving cars and In safeguard-ing human life and property. Legislation Falls. Legislation, he says, has fulled to keep our streets and highways safe, and we must look to the motorist's mind ond reason for safety. According to a comprehensive sur-vey of the automobile and pedestrian accident situation throughout the coun-try, as made by the A. A. A. In pur-suance of its drive for safer motoring, there is no direct relation between the amount of severity of legislation and safety, and frequently no relation be-tween law enforcement and safety. "This reveuls the outstanding weak- - ness of automobile legislation and en-forcement," President Henry explains. "The average driver feels that the law is something that technically Imposes upon him a certain restriction which he can very easily avoid If he Is care-ful not to be caught. There appears to be no clear-cu- t sense of obligation, thus revealing an urgent need for a switch to concentration upon a moral obligation. Effective Enforcement Needed. "Good motor laws and effective' en-forcement are absolutely essential in order that those who refuse to appre-ciate their responsibilities can be pun-ished accordingly, but legislation alone .will not do for our present compli-cated system of motoring. Legislation without an appropriate sense of per-sonal and group responsibility Is noth-ing more than what we choose to call carelessness. "It Is a significant fact that many laws which are not on the statutes are being obeyed more willingly than many which are described by safety advocates as hav-ing 'teeth' in them. These are the laws of common sense and decency, readily understandable to the aver-age driver and, therefore, a true basis of safety. "The A. A. A. warns all Its afliliated clubs against concentrating too much time upon enactment of additional leg-islation, but to conduct campaigns im-mediately to educate the driver to the importance of his responsibility to him-self as well as to those he is morally obliged to protect "We are going to turn selfishness Inside out and apply Its enormous force into productive channels. If every driver will be selfish enough to give due concern to his own welfare no one need worry about the safety tf motoring as a whole. "With the nation's drivers looking out for themselves first there can be no insanity and road hogglshness to mar motoring. "We want the automobile driver to feel that any foolhardy or senseless act is a violation of his own rights, his own Judgment, his on welfare. As matters now stand, wilh each state Issuing a portfolio of legislation, the motorist has a notion that when b Is careless he Is but violating some formal dictum in the Imposition of which he had no part" Heating Device Prevents Radiator From Freezing When a garage Is wired for electric-ity, It Is a simple matter to wrap a heating pad around the lower hose con-nection, running from the water Jacket of the engine to the bottom of the rad-iator, as in the Illustration.

Spread the slot slightly with a screwdriver or metal wedge and turn the nut over the dam-aged threads until It reaches the good threads. Remove the wedge and draw together with a wrench so as to lighten the nut on th threads, then turn It back over the damaged part. The split nut will always follow the old thread, but It may be necessary to repeat the operation several times to recut the thread on the damaged sec-tion. Automobile IHgest.
