GASOLINE TO DROP MORE.
Will Be at Twenty Cents in 10 Days
and May Go to II IL Soon.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Gasoline will
fall to 20 cents a gallon within ten days
or two weeks, Standard Oil officials have
said. Although the Middle Western
states are selling gasoline for Il -
cents, there is little likelihood of this
reduced figure striking New York be-
fore a month, if at all, experts said.
This drop in motorN fuel is ascribed
to the extraordinary output of the
crude oil wells that were drilled last
year and now are yielding. AS a con
sequence of their exceptional output in
the last few weeks the quotation on
crude oil has fallen and with it gasoline,
the price of which is regulated entirely
by the production of crude oil
Standard Oil officials said the full eff
feet of this crude oil production will
be over within two weeks and gasoline
prices then will have reached their
minimum. New wells are being drilled
but their yield will not be appreciable
IN the market of the near future.
1t was denied that the government 5
investigation of gasoline prices is re-
sponsible either directly or indirectly
for this reduction.

THE REASON WHY.

| Many good people have asked why
unusual expenditures for national de-
Tense on the part of the United States
are needed at this time, when the chief
powers of the world are as busily en-
gagged as they we'll could be and seem
likely to have their attention fully oc-
cupied for some time to come.
The answer is easy. 1t is true that
at the present moment the United
States is not seriously threatened, but,
just as war sometimes comes with little
warning, so wars end occasionally much
sooner than anyone expected. When
peace comes in Europe, not all the ma
tions of that continent will be exhaust
ed. Those of the winning combination
will be stronger than they Were before
in all their history and even the losing
side may not be markedly weakened if
peace is brought about by compromise.
In such an event, the group of allies
that fails to gain its desires may seek
other fields in which to recoup its losses
and the most fertile fields for exploita-
ton anywhere on the globe are i'll this
hemisphere.
No one who has followed the course
of events since August l, 1914, can
doubt that plenty of pretexts for an at
tack upon the United States could east
ly be found if they should happen to be
wanted and we have not the smallest
guarantee that they will not be wanted
within the next few years. Dismiss
from your mind the idea that the fight
ing nations will be unable to engage il
further military enterprises when the
present war is over. 1t may very wei
be that a new war will be the one thing
required to check revolution and refill
treasures emptied by the European cat
aclvsm. Therefore, the United State
should lose no time in making its de
lenses impregnable. There is no rea
son for panic, but there is every reason
for serious consideration of our position
If war with n strong nation should b,
suddenly forced upon rs.
When the great war began England
was but little better prepared so far n
military resources were concerned thar
we are today, but she had navy o
overwhelming strength. just thin
what would have happened to Englan
if it had not been for her navy ant
then use every bit of influence you hav
to make it certain that the United
States will never be caught mapping.

The inner tube is one-piece union
suit which is worn inside of rub
Der tire. 1t is one of the most expensive
forms of underwear on the market, but
that does not deter people who are
four years behind at the grocery store
from buying it.
The province of the inner tube is to
hold the air ana anything else that it
runs into. When an inner tube is bright
and new it will hold q large quantity of
air for long time and cause the owner
to gloat over people whom he passes
on the road, engaged in changing tires
with a defiant look. But when age creeps
over the tube it is liable to rip open in
some unexpected spot and allow its con
tents to evaporate with a deadly and
vindictive hiss. There is nothing sad
der in life crowded full Of grief and mis-
fortune than to start out on picnic
with party of loved relatives and
cold chicken, and have trusted inner
tube LET 90 of eighty pounds of free air
with long, mournful sigh.
One Of the worst faults of the inner
tube is its tendency to leak air and
not say anything about it to the owner

But to continue about the ban

THE Brownies were invited to come
and hear the Concert. The Wrens said
that they would not enjoy the Ban
quet as it was to be especially Wren

some very nice Songs which they
hoped the Brownies would enjoy.
And sure enough on the morning
of the Banquet all the Brownies were
in the Orchard, near the Apple Tree
where the Family of House Wrens
lived who were giving the Banquet"

it."

'Well, the Wrens like to have a
Feast bright and early in the morning
and so. as they were not asking any
Boys and Girls to this party, they
chose the time they liked best them
selves!"
Nick and Nancy laughed, but agreed
that as long as the Wrens liked to
have big Banquets in the morning they
were the ones to be pleased.
ut was Mrs. Brown House Wren
who had prepared the Banquet and it
was served on the best plates she
could find. There were plates of Pear
Leaves for the first course which was
Grasshopper Soup. Next on plates Of
Peach Leaves they had delicious Bee
ties, and on leaves of the Wild Cherry
Trees they had Spider Salad and Bug
Sandwiches"
