ton is an important one" added Uncle
Harry. THE world today cannot get
along without gasolene and what the
world needs Il gets. The chemists will
either find ways OF making more gaso-
iene out OF petroleum or they will find
ways to manufacture gasoiene out Of
other materials"
How about the high price Of gaso-

THE millions of people who have TO
buy gasolene are complaining and the
United States Government Is making an
Investigation TO find the reason for the

Harry. IF the investigators find that
the price has been raised Illegally then
the men or companies responsible for
the increase will be arrested and tried
