thrift from their truck gardens.
Many of the boys and girls in the
rural schools can teach their fathers
how to grow vegetables, how to i'm

NEW YORK, May 6.-The coy gem

New York. Several cuckpos have mod

the gasoline problem and one am

He doesn't explain where one may
go to pluck tiger off its nest and boil
him down for the flivver pep. In the
meantime the price of gasoline is try
ing to split honors with the price Of
radium. One reporter went out to
interview man who had hidden
formula that excelled gasoline and
came back to his city editor with the
report that he had seen better heads
on tacks.
However, there are many chemists
who are at work on the question Of
getting a substitute for gasoline. There
are optimists who believe that even
tually the problem will be solved but
in the meantime the soaring price of
the gas Is hurting the sale of the
cheaper kind of automobiles. New
York newspapers are devoting col
umns of space to the subject and tE9
gasoline prices are gingling on the
front page alongside of the carnage
in Europe.
