.RumorS Says @ orblys rs . BE.
Removed and New PresEi-
dent Appointed.

President o. i. Wood eyss OF the Fair.
mont State Normal school, has been
mentioned IN connection with the
presidency OF Marshall College, the!
state normal school at Huntington.
According to- rumors that have leaked
out, President Lawrence ] 2 Corbly,
who has been the head of Marshall
College for the past nineteen years. Is,
to be removed from that position and
the name. of DR.. w oodley has been
considered by the board for the posi-:
ton made vacant by the removal of
Prof. Corbly.
1t seems there has been some dis
satisfaction for several years over the,
principalship OF Marshall College and,
according to rumor. the Board OF Re.
gents at meeting held some time ago
notified Prof. Corbly In December,
1914, that he would be asked to re-
sign from the position.
The Board of Regents was at that
time composed of John B: Finley, Of
iParkersburg; George S. Latdley, OF.
Charleston; Elliott N orthcott, Of Hunt
ington; Earl ". 0glebay, Of Wheeling,
and NJ. p. Shawkey, of Charleston:
Since that time the personnel OF
the board has changed and now is
George S. Laidley, Earl v. 0glebay, N.
P. Shawkey, "A. G. ASwiger, Of Sisters.
vile, and Joseph Murphy Of Parkers'
burg.
"The best interests Of the school"
was given as the reason for the re-
moyal OF Prof. Corbly. It is under
stood that strong fight will be made
in Huntington to retain Prof. Corbly
as head of the institution.
DR.. Woodley could not be communi-
Gated with concerning the rumor in
circulation, he being at his home at
Millington, N. j. However, it is not
believed here that Prof Woodley
would consider the principalship of
the Huntington school, he being SO
thoroughly Interested in the local
school, its future, etc.

GET STATEMENTS VENT
Sheriff Explains In Detail
Laws Of State Concern
ing Collection.

Statements explaining in detail the
laws Of West Virginia governing the
payment of taxes on both personal
property and real estate have been
sent by Sheriff c. D. Conway; treas,
urer of Marion county, to all persons
whose 1914 taxes have not been paid.
A discount on all 1914 taxes is allowed
If paid before December /, 1914, and
hundreds of persons took advantage OF
the opportunity to pay promptly and
secure this discount.
During the month of December
taxes for 1914 could be paid at their
face charge, no discount being allow.
ed and no interest being charged.
From January 1, 1915, to July l, 1915,
the close of the fiscal year, taxes may
be paid at the Office OF Sheriff Coma
way in the court house, but interest at
the rate of 10 per cent per year Is
charged as required by law. The list
of persons delinquent in the payment
of their taxes on the bulletin board at
the court house door on June 1 shows
that comparatively small aggregate
amount remains unpaid, several OF the
larger items being charged against
owners OF coal and gas lands who
are either bankrupt or whose property
is tied up in litigation. A large mum.
Der OF the items are for small. amounts
varying from % cents to 81 against
foreigners on household goods, the
men havin lost their Jobs at the mines
and left the state shortly after the as
easement over year ago.
On July 1 Sheriff Conway will make
his annual settlement wit the state
auditor at Charleston, and all accounts
on July l will be turned over to the
auditor. AS a result, after July l, un.
paid 1914 taxes must be paid directly
to the state at Charleston and no mon.
ey for 1914 taxes can be accepted by
Sheriff Conway. II 1914 taxes are
not paid by November. 1915, the prop-
erty will be sold at auction on the
court house steps to satisfy the states
claim.

CITY MOTORING MOST EXPENSIVE

in the 10 IL miles inside the loop in
which distance every street north and
south and every one east and west
was traversed by the Marmon. Starting
from the Chicago Automobile club at
1913 in the afternoon, the run was
made in one hour and 25 minutes, in
which time the Marmon used exactly
1855 gallons Of gasoline, an average
Of us miles TO the gallon.
Then the scene OF operations was
switched to Grant park. where the
conditions are such as one finds in the
country IT is a dirt road. smooth for
the most Of the two and one-half
miles, but including some ruts and at
the north end a small hill which would
tend 10 burn up gasoline. Here ex-
actly the same distance was covered
ana il took only 81 minutes TO do il, in
which time $50 gallons was used. an
average Of 1915 miles 10 the gallon,
twice as good IS was done in the
loop.
Officially Recorded.
While F. Z. Edwards. chairman OF
the technical committee Of the Chi
cagO Automobile club, did not ride IN

gers IN the car were newspaper men,
and every effort was made to live
up to all the rules.
The crisis crossing OF the loop did
much to bring out the clutch qualities
Of the MaFmOH. Not once was there a
1alter and not once was the motor
stalled. In fact the observers in the
car could hardly tell whether each start
was on high, so easily did the car get
away. The condition OF traffic in the
loop is best shown hF the fact that
the car was held mp 81 times before
the 10 IL mile journey was completed.

SAFETY FIRST
FOR AUTO DRIVER
Every Man at the Wheel of
Motor Car Should Be
Careful; Some Rules.

William Sparks. mayor OF Jackson.
Michigan, president Of the chamber or
commerce and general manager Of the
Sparks-Withington company OF thar
city. says:
1T is better to be safe than to be
sorry" is the theory now adopted by
practically all automobiles and pedes-
TRANS. As a consequence, there are
fewer sorry people now, in comparison
with the number Of motor cars driven,
than ever before. Automobile acci-
dents are on the decrease.
The Safety First movement Is largely
responsible for this. The pedestrians
themselves and the drivers are becom-
ing educated 10 the requirements fo-
satety-they have greater respect for
the rights Of the other fellow. and q
better observance Of these rights.
The motorisr naturally believes that
he has the right OF way between cross
lngs, although he should. and does,
retain control Of his car But when
children dart out unexpected in front
OF the car he cannot answer for the con-
sequence. Records show that rs Per
cent Of all accidents occur in the mid
die OF the block Everyone should
vided for that purpose, or. for the sake
OF self protection. they should use care
when indlscriminately crossing.
Brakes Imporfant.
Motor vehicles should be equipped
with dependable brakes-Wfth horns
that are needed. It should be the re-
ligion OF every motorist to drive slowly
when passing schools, children. vehf
cles going around corners or ap-
preaching crossings. He should obey
the law which forbids that any ma
ehinery be left running while the
vehicle Is standing on any public high
way without an attendant
Probably no one has made a more
exhaustive study OF the subject OF
Safety First than Charles IT. HAYES.
president Of the Chicago Motor club.
He says; When in doubt stop at rail-
road crossings and behind street cars
taking on or diseharging passenger.

Europe Seeking Gas;
American Motorists
Use Entire Supply

America isn't filling war orders for Easo-
line, for the very good reason that American
motorists use practically all the present
supply. Therefore, a 5000. 00O-Eallon order
received in New York recently from the war
zone was declined for the simple reason that
this vast quantity is needed to turn the
wheels Of American motor cars.
This is not surprising IN view Of the suor-
nous growth OF the motor industry The
surprising part Is that the gasoline supply
can keep pace with the demand that in
creases by jumps with every season
II it were not for new methods OF distilla-
ton that produce a far greater quantity OF
gas from the crude oil than was possible
only a short time ago, the use OF autom0-
biles weuld be limited TO the amount OF fuel
obtainable, and the price per gallon would
soar But the needs Of this ever increasing
army have been foreseen by the big COM
panies and gas is more plentiful better and
cheaper than ever before.
