JOKE ON HONEYM0ONERS
Couple, in Haste to EIude Friends, Take Wrong Automobile and Are Now Sought By Real Owners.

New York, Aug. 18.-Somewhere between this city and Saranac Lake, N. Y, there is a honeymoon couple in the wrong automobile, and MT. and Mrs. Charles Madison, to whom the autOm obile belongs, would like to know exactly where the pretty bride and her young husband are. But they are not to blame for the mistake. If any one is at fault it is those friends who insisted on chasing them with bags of rice and old slippers.
 MT. and Mrs Ralph w. Collins, who had just been married, were anxious to elude their friends at the Wander bilt Hotel. They arranged with Thom- as O'Malley, head of the service of the Vanderbilt, to go out of the Thirty third street entrance of the hotel. In their haste, instead of getting into the new automobile, present of the | brides father, Redmond Conyngham, | they got into the automobile belong ing to MT. and Mrs Madison. Mr. Col 1 llnS is a good driver, and the autOmO- 1 bile is said to have been the same make as the one given to his bride. The honeymooners' automobile was at the Park avenue entrance of the Van derbilt As the guests at the wedding luncheon were hot on the heels of the
 couple, there was no time to ponder
 but that is hardly any consolation to | MT. and Mrs. Madison.
 MT. and Mrs. Collins were married
 in the chapel of St. Bartholomew S
 church, the Rev. Duncan IT. Browne
 of Christ church, Staten Island, off,
 ciating at the ceremony.

The Real Opportunity

From the New fork Evening World.
 It has been obvious from the first that the war, by cutting off various foreign products, would bring to bear the strong est sort of protective stimulation upon certain American industries.
 Marked results along this line begin to appear in the case of the aniline dye makers. Since the importation of German dyes almost ceased, American dye manu- facturers have had immense inducements to double their plants and speed up their chemists A big American concern re- ports that it has to reject every day orders for anywhere from 5000 to SOOO0 pounds of dyes simply because it cannot manufacture them fast enough. Yet this plant is turning out four times as much as it ever did before
 It is predicted that inside of IS months American manufacturers will be ready to supply s10.00OO0O worth of dyestuffs an- nually. The market in this country could use s3O, 100000 worth.
 Can the American dyemakers hold the home market against return of the foreign goods? This is the all-important question. Experts assure us that our natural resources of coal tar are of a sort to make successful competition with foreign dyestuffs perfectly possible.
 Quality is the test. It is up to our chemists and producers to attain and keep it. Developments of similar kind in a dozen other American industries leading to the permanent acquisition of home markets mean more to the real prosperity of this country than all the shipments of food and war munitions ever dreamed of.

GASOLINE FAMINE
 THREATENING J. 5.
Chalmers Engineers Bend ing Efforts Toward Small
 Gasoline Consumption

The bogie of a possible gasoline fam ins is uppermost today in the minds of American motorists. All motordom is waiting expectantly for the results of the investigation now in progress in Washington. The wholesale exporta- tion of gasoline from this country threatens to send the price of automo- bile fuel soaring to heights never be- fore attained
 Producing high power and high speed at the cost of former low power and low speed today is the bone of most furious engineering contention, ac cording to Paul Smith, the vice presi- dent of the Chalmers Motor company, in charge of the selling division.
 Chalmers engineering" declares MT. Smith, "has succeeded notably in keep ing itself from being drawn into the whirlpool of high speed and high power at the cost of operating economy Our engineers have kept high power and high mileage per gallon of fuel lashed securely together. Chalmers engineers nave approached the whole speed and power matter with their eyes everlast- fngly on economy of operation. Against low mileage per gallon of gasoline it is interesting to observe that the Chalmers high speed engines deliver far more mileage in the case of both the six-30 and six-40. Our owners tell us that the six-40 delivers from 16 to IS miles per gallon of gaso- line while the new siX-30 Chalmers 3400 revolutions per minute engine gets from IS to 21 miles out of every gallon of gasoline consumed.
 ''The new Chalmers high speed power engines, in other words, attain from 45 to 48 horsepower at the former cost of 20 to 25 horsepower.
 ''This is especially significant to the purchaser of motor cars in view of the upward trend of gasoline prices. We have applied ourselves intensely in the Chalmers organization to the task of producing high power and high engine speed without jeopardizing for mo- ment the imperative matter of operat- ing economy.
 tWe are glad to announce that we have wrung high speed out of our en- zines and at the same time cut down gasoline consumption one-third. Burn ing up twice the necessary amount of gasoline for the sake of power and speed that cannot be used has no place in sensible engineering"

COLLECTING INCOME | TAX VERY DIFFICULT
Middle Class Taxpayers Do
 Not Save
HAS BEEN DOUBLED
Government Makes Unpaid Tax a Civil Debt-Scheme to Make Elm pIoyers Pay By Holding Salaries
 of Men Has Been Abandoned

London, December 16.--(Specia1) Within the last few days Englishmen have been receiving their income tax notices, the first under the new war tax conditions, and both taxpayers and money is to be got in.
 To begin with the tax is doubled. It is now 36 cents in the $5 for earn CTS of small incomes, and in the sec ond place by the reduction of the amount of income exempt from tax 8 class of taxpayers has been tapped that has never paid tax before. Today every working man earning over $lO week must pay, and the men up to $2500 a year or so have had their taxes doubled. Thus the man who earns s2500 year will have to dig up some thing like $19O in a lump sometime in January Now there is little saving in the lower English middle class, and it is safe prophecy that the great majority of these men will not be able to find the money in a lump, while there is even 8 greater certainty that tho ordinary weekly wage earners, who work with their hands, will be broke when the income tax man comes round.
 It was intended when the finance bill was first introduced to make the emplOyeT TeSpOIlSlUIe IOI luS COllSCIiou. The plan was that If the employe did not pay up within month of receiv- ing the demand the tax collector could go to his employer and garnishee not moro than a quarter of his wages ev- cry week until the tax was paid. This seemed a good plan and was really welcomed by most of the small tax payers, who would have preferred, however, to have the tax deducted weekly from their salaries throughout the year, as is done in the government service and in some of the big joint stock banks where wages are paid "free of income tax" the employer pay ing the whole in lump sum at the end of the year. The employers pro-
 tested so vigorously, however, at hav- ing this burden placed on them that Reginald McKenna, the chancellor of the exchequer has been compelled to withdraw this provision and substitute another, making income tax recover able as civil debt, without, however, prejudicing in any way the govern ment's rights of recovery by methods formerly in use. The methods formerly in use were summary seizure, without process of the tax defaulter's goods, or seizure of the defaulters body and his detention until the tax was paid.
 It was felt now that while these methods were all right for the former class of taxpayers who were generally able to find the money at pinch, they would not do for the new taxpayers who may be genuinely unable to pay. They may have no goods, or only such household goods as are valuable to them, but practically worthless at a

loan extended over s9 years. That is all. It is difficult to decide which is more ridiculous. the artlessness of such an offer or the under valuation ot Chinese intelligence.
 "But it is still worse than that! The entente promises these fina1cial oper- ations, but only after the war, that is. the entente can do it all, only if it comes out victor in the war. The pros poets of victory for the entente are, however, less promising than the pros poets of it's defeat. And further. the whole question is to be decided upon a a peace conference, to which China will be allowed to become partner We congratulate China on these prom ises. We, however. believe, at the same time, that China has a very clear judg- ment as to the value of such promises by the entente powers. She had some very bitter experiences since January 18 last, with their promises. guarantees and even signed treaties and conven- tioUs"

Lead Sheep a Traitor

From the New York Sun.
 Old Dick, veteran lead sheep at the Pro- vision companys slaughter house in Cleve- land, daily leads 800 of his unsuspecting tribe to a bloody death. He slips through a trapdoor while the rest run down a nar- row chamber where butchers wait with sharp knives to slit their throats. This has been Dicks job for eight years, and as a reward he will be allowed to die a natural death. Dick always places him. self at the head of the column when the sheep proceed from their sheds, and where he leads they follow excepting when he slips through a trapdoor. Then it is too late for. those in the front line to retrace their steps.

GRANT SIX bRE:A AKS RECORD AT DENVER "Hill of Despair" Conquered by Grant Car Without
 Much Effort

Sales Manager George s. Waite of the
 Grant Motor company is in receipt of a
 letter from Mulnix & Rarie of Denver,
 Col, telling him of an extraordinary feat
 performed by the Grant Six at Denver,
 under the auspices of the Denver Post.
 As everyone in motor circles knows. the
 "TIill of Despair, just outside of the city
 of Denver, is the Jonah" for most au-
 tomoblists. It is so steep and so long
 that practically all cars are forced to
 negotiate it on low gear. Mulnix & Ra-
 rie started out to demonstrate that the Grant Six was one of the most flexible
 and powerful six-cylinder cars in the world. And they proved this to the sat isfaction of Denverites.
 Just prior to going out to the Hill of Despair by way of practice and to show
 what the car could do in the city, theI car was first put through few stunts,
 such as accellerating from a standing start, going through three gears and mak-
 ing the 2-nlile-an-hour mark in 10 3-5 sec onds; accelerating to the 25-mile-an- hour mark from five miles an hour in high gear in ii seconds fiat; driving down a 6 per cent grade with full load, turning around at the bottom and driving up again without changing gears; running in high and necessarily starting at the bottom of the hill by reason of a sharp turn, at seven miles an hour and fin ishing at 17 miles an hour at the top; driving down the hill again with five pas sengers and turning around and driving up again, all the way at five miles an hour on high gear.
 Then, just to show that this was not a real test of the Grant Six quality, but easy work for it, the car was driven out to the Hill of Despair which even the highest priced cars find it difficult to ne gotiate in second gear, grade so steep that no brakes will hold a car, and after making the grade in second gear with ease, R. c. Mulnix, who was driving the car, conceived the idea of driving it on high gear. After two attempts with the full load of passengers. MT. Mulnix un- loaded the car and, with himself at the wheel, successfully negotiated the grade on high gear, breaking all records on this hill This was done in the presence of representatives of the Denver Post and other motor enthusiasts. creating & big stir in motor circles.
 Since the Grant Six made the test, dur ing the past four weeks many other cars have attempted to equal the record with out success

California Man Writes of Unique Stunt Performed

J. M. Anderson of the Anderson Mo- tor company, Studebaker agents, says that he knew Stakeholder cars had been used to move houses, switch freight cars and haul tractors through city streets, but he didn't know that they could perform such stunt as related in letter to him by W.

 In this letter Mr. Peeler says
 "An old fashioned three-ton truck with iron rear wheels had to be deliy- cred at Los Angeles, 55 miles away. No one could be induced to tow it with another big truck, so in desperation, I hitched it on to my Studebaker Six,
