HIGH COST GASOLINE
MAY ALTER DESIGNS
Advance in Fuel Prices Likely to
Bring Demand for Greater
Efficiency.

Countrywide advances in the price of
gasoline have put the average price well
above 20 cents a gallon and the present
indications point to still higher prices
The advance is due to two causes, pri-
marily, decreasing oil supplies and an un-
usually large increase in the demand for
gasoline.
1t looks as though the price of gasoline
were approaching such a high point that
the cost to motor car users would have
an important effect on car design.
VIII 1t be feasible to build cars with
engines Of rs to 100 horsepower when
every horsepower means so much gaso-
line to produce Il?
One motor car engine may be more eff
cient than another. But in connection
with the foregoing question II should be
borne in mind that the company making
the most efficient motor can manufacture
one Of smaller power which would con-
sumo a relatively small amount of gaso-
line and still be able to do the same
work IL the car is proportionately lighter.
Many engineers and other students of
the situation believe that accent gasoline
would have beneficial effect In the de-
signing OF motor cars It would tend to-
ward making the design OF the car such
that the car would operate more eff
GENTLY.
There has been a decided trend toward
light weight In the past two years, be-
cause the average car owner has come to
realize that there is an important reIa-
ton between light weight and the eco
nomical operation Of an automobile
High cost gasoline would unquestionably
compel manufacturers to 20 stin further
causing them TO make their cars more
SIMPLE with few parts and less friction.

Scan Costumes Of Nmphs at Bal Masque and Bare Feet Of
Young Gods Called Horrible and Vulgar" By
Miss Janet E. Richards

Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Feb. ga storm OF IN
dignation is on among women prominent
In Philadelphia society and persons dis
tinguished in the art colony of the city.
1t was directed against Miss Janet z.
Richards, of Washington, D. c., and for
merly of Baltimore, Nd, for her criti-
cism of the costume ball which was given
at Horticultural Hall and the Acadamy
of Music, on Tuesday. under the auspices
of seven of the art organizations of the
city.
Miss Richards visits Philadelphia twice
month to address a class of 400 women
on topics of the day. She took occasion
in her address before them on Wednes-
day to denounce the costumes worn at
the ball as being shameless and dis
graceful In their scantiness.
Miss Richards address was given at
the Broad Street Theater. where the class
meets for its fortnightiy sessions. Her
hearers listened in growing surprise as
Miss Richards, at the outset of her re-
marks, deviated from a discussion of
governmental affairs to launch an attack
on some of the costumes worn at the ball.
Many members Of the class are society
women, who had attended the ball, the
night before, or whose daughters had
been present. and they resented Miss
Richards denunciation of the affair.
Others were actively interested in the
art organizations which presented the
pageant at the opening of the ball The
substance of Miss Richards criticisms of
some of the costumes, or lack of them,
as she called It, was given yesterday by
one of the women present The lecturer,
she said, had been talking about Secre-
tary Garrison's resignation when her
manner abruptly changed. II have been
used to going to Philadelphia society for
all that is good and true" she said, then
started in to criticise the ball. with

tense excitement.
