RENT COMMISSION
MAY Be PROVIDED
IN REVISED BILL

Indications are that the subcommIt-
tee OF the District Committee Of the
Senate. which Is considering the ques-
tion OF profiteering in rentals in
Washington. will report a bill for
some plan OF rental administration.
The subcommittee Is giving serious
consideration to a plan for a rental
commission which will have power TO
fix rentals and adjust controversies
over rentals.
While the indications are that this
plan Will be approved rather than
the idea OF single administrator,
nothing has yet been settled
The subcommittee met today and
took up again the johnson bill. 1t in
tends to complete the consideration OF
the subject as soon as practicable.
Undoubtedly. both the subcommit-
tee and the main committee will re-
port a bill OF some nature. Senate
sentiment Is strong for action OF some
kind, because Of the many complaints
OF prOfiteering. On the other hand,
the Johnson bill Is regarded by many
Senators as too drastic.
Senator Pomerene has been empow-
cred By the subcommittee to redraft
the bill

TOLIBERTY LOAN

The honor OF having contributed
over $500 to Liberty loan sdvertis-
ipE in the present drive goes to the
United States Rubber Company. whose
campaign OF big advertisements to
make the loan overwhelmingly sue
cessful have appeared in every COM
munity in the country.
The company's influence for the
loan has been exerted in q nation
wide way along another line also. for
instead OF making its S3,0OO.OO0 sub
scription to the loan In a lump sum.
IL has made substantial purchases in
hundreds Of cities from coast to coast
Five thousand dollars was sub
scribed toward the Washington quota
through e. H. Johnson, Of the United

In addition to having a general pa
triotic interest in the success OF the
loan. the United States Rubber COM
pany has been spurred to a lighting
interest in the success OF the loan anr

Htars-representing q most virile

AUTO TRUCK SALES
DOUBLED IN YEAR
BY ONE COMPANY

In these days Of foolish. down-in-
the-mouth pessimism in some quar-
tiers. the story Of Republic truck de
velopment comes as q refreshing piece
Of news. Not only do their records
show business as usual" but sales
and deliveries twice a. good a. usual.
During the nIne months ended April
1, 1913, there were 1L4OO Republic
trucks built and delivered. A. op-
posed to $500 trucks during the same
period ended April 1, 1917. The cash
receipts for the nine months ended
April /. 1918. were S12,ooO,OOo. as op-
posed to about $4,000. 900 in the same
period of the preceding year.
One Of the most encouraging fea-
lures Of this unprecedented increase
Is the fact that this is regular busi-
ness. and does not incluGe so-termed
war orders. That these figures would
have been far surpassed except FOR
the known shortage OF raw material
and shipping facilities. not to men
ton bad roads and consequent inabiL
ity TO drive away. Is q fOregons con
clusiOn.
Vice President Lafayette Markle. o.

their schedule Of production at pres
ent is eighty trucks per day, or an
approximate output OF 1000 trucks
per month. This schedule. he has
reason to believe, will be materially
boosted In q few months

GASOLINE SUPPLY
WILL NOT Be CUT
SAYS REQUA

There is no shortage Of petroleum
for our immediate needs. according to
Mark L Requa. director OF the oil
division OF the United States Fuel Ad-
ministration. The lack is one entirely
OF transportation. Gasolene must be
produced a. q by-product in the
manufacture OF fuel oil used in the
navy, In merchant ships and in indus
trial plants, and the gASolene must be
disposed OF. Crude oil containing the
lighter, volatile oils, such as gasolene,
10 dangerous for fuel purposes until
the gAsolene is removed.
Obvi&lsly, unless this gasolene is
sold and consumed. the cost OF fueI oil
will increase. There is, therefore, no
intention on the part Of the Fuel Ad-
mInistration TO shut off or limit the
supply OF gasolens for use in motor
vehicles.
There has been considerable dis
cussion as to cutting off the supply of
gasolene to passenger vehicles, fol-
lowing the precedent set in England" I"
said Mr.. RequA, but the conditions
are entirely dissimilsr, for the reason
that England produces no oil and has
to rely entirely upon exports over
seas. The United States. on the con-

FIRST MOTORIZED
BATTERY OF FIELD
ARTILLERY APPEARS

CAMP CUSTER, Mich. April 90
All dressed up in regulation camou-
mage. and capable OF going into posi-
ton while under nre. the hrst motor
hauled battery of neId artillery in
America, and perhaps in the world.
chugEed itself past General Kennedy
and stan on the parade grounds here
this week. The event was the nrst
brigade review in honor Of General
Kennedy, new commGndAnt At Camp
Custer.
The frst car In line was q famous
Hot Spot Chalmers, equipped with
wireless standards and other recon-
noissance attachments. The other
cars, including tractors and trucks
were covered with heavy roonng
paper in such q cunning manner as
perfectly to simulate the Rrmored
lighting car. Improvised perisoopes
and ugly rife muZEles prodded their
way through the open turrets, and
the general impression was one OF
genuine terror. But terror was not
the only suggestion. for the sight was
. tribute to the great American auto
mobile industry, and. indeed, q noted
accomplishment for the far-sighted
and progressive energy OF Col H e.
CIoke, commanding the 330th held ar
tIllery and acting commander OF the
100th brigade
Although the experiment has been
In progress for nearly ninety days.
the brigade review was the hrst Of
fcial appearance OF q model motor
ICED battery completely aTmored ana
capable of moving forward in trench
warfare as DO the famous British
.anks. So practical have been the
,esults and 80 startling the poSsibili-
les that It 10 generally conceded this
pioneer Unit may be a definite step
toward permanently sweeping Il
stAlemate trench system into q swift
moving conflict Of automotivs artil
lery.
It is generally admitted that Il costs
the United States Government more
to support one horse than IL does TO
sustain = lighting man. Despite the
miracles already performed BY motor
cars In battle, however, three-quar,
ters of our army officers are str
skeptical and inclined to place little
