 In addition to the $4o,000 Miss Burke {. had a guarantee of a wardrobe that would not cost less than $5000, a bungalow, servants, automobile and other concessions that would amount to not less than 5000 month Oh, dearie me, Billie Burke is bad busi- ness woman.
 In addition to the above comes the message from Los Angeles that Billie Burke has now closed a contract to ap- pear in a 15-episode moving picture serial for $120,000. This is the largest snm of money ever paid for the serv- ices of single individual in the mo- mentous history of moving pictures.
 OH, GERALDINE

 While Billie Burke and Geraldine Far rar were not exactly paupers when they descended to acting in moving pictures, they are two other stars receiving equally high salaries who made their regulations entirely in the shadow world. These are Mary Pickford and Charlie Chaplin. Little Mary in fact is receiving or was receiving such a huge salary that If was thought best to make her a part ner in the firm. From now on it will be the Famous Players Mary Pickford Film company, and Little Marys' share of the booty is estimated at about $25O, 900 per annum, Watson-the needle Prior to the formation of the Mary Picxford company, Little Mary received $250C every Saturday night and bonus on ev- cry picture completed, besides a share in the profits that brought her annual in come to $150,000 a year.

PUBLIC MUST KNOW
ABOUT GASOLINE
State Inspector Hartman Posts
Rules that Tank Merchants
Must Follow.
"HooK1Es" PUT UNDER BAN
(From a Stan correspondsnt.)


Lincoln, Aug. 7.-(Special.) State
Food and Oil Inspector Hartman an
nounced today that his department
will proceed to wage campaign for
better gasoline. He says that the
present period is an important one
ecause Of the heavy demand for the
articles, but he believes that cheaper
asolinc or rather good grade of
gasoline at cheaper price is on its
way and that within the next ten
days the price will be down two
cents at least.
The Omaha situation is getting
down to better conditions and deal
ers are showing an inclination to
comply with the law regarding post
ing of notices showing the grade of
gasoline sold. However, inspectors
discovered two dealers last week who
were selling gasoline at two prices.
One tank sold at 20 cents and another
at q cents. A great many users of
oil took it for granted that the higher
priced gasoline was a better grade,
when according to the Commission
it was all the same. These dealers
from now on will have but the one
price Of 20 cents.
Down with the hookies,' will be
oneof the war cries which oil inspec-
tors will use in their efforts to give
gasoline users good goods. These
are the fellows, who sell gasoline
on the side and have no special ar
rangements for handling the oil.
Wholesalers will be compelled to
furnish retailers with the grade Of
gasoline sold and no cars of gasoline
will be inspected that show a test
of less than 81.
The following rules and regulations
governing the proper branding of gas
oline when sold from self-measuring
pumps, will be enforced:
Rule No. /. When self-measuring pumps
or underground tanks are used In the sale
of gasoline such tanks must be branded with
the word Gasoline" and also show the de-
grees of specific gravity as measured by the
Beaume hydrometer, said branding must be
In plain printed letters at least one and
one half inches in height.
Rule No. 2. 1t is also ruled that all
wholesale concerns selling gasoline to re-
tailers must either brand or furnish proper
branding to each retailer to whom they sell
gasoline, and said retailer. when offering
for sale or having In his possession gasoline
which is not branded in accordance with the
law. will be subject to the penalty Of the
law.
Rule No. 3. It is further ruled that any
product purporting to be gasoline that does
not show at least 81 degrees specific gravity
as measured by the Beaume hydrometer.
will be deemed to be adulterated, and all
inspectors are instructed to reject the same,
and said product cannot be sold In the state

Every Nation to Be Represented
Here When Ringlings' Circus Comes

unique equestrian acts are those in
