Hall to Colonel Ralph Vivian, who married
a wealthy American woman. That lease
expired and quite recently 1t has been &C.
cupied by the Marquis's Oldest son, the
Earl of Rocksavage, who married Miss
Sybil Sassoon, daughter of Sir Edward
Sassoon, of the enormously wealthy Hindu
banking family, who rival the Rothschilds
in the financial community.
Lord Rocksavage is a noted polo player,
and in that capacity has visited the
United States several times. He and his
beautiful wife are9very prominent in Eng
lish society. The Sassoons we're held in
high favor by King Edward and the pres
ent royal family are delighted to have
Lord and Lady Rocksavage as neighbors.
AS this couple has no children Lord
George is their heir.
Il is not known that the King and
Queen looked with any particular appro-
val on Lord George Cholmondeley's mar
rage to his American wife. Owing to her
previous divorce, the episode OF the
beauty spot and her various appearances
on the stage, 1t Is suggested that she is
not exactly the sort Of addition Queen
Mary would have welcomed to the Sand
bingham circle. II is thought that this
circumstance may have added somewhat
to the unhI ppness that has led Lady
George to seek a divorce.
Lady George Cholmondeley was origin.
ally Clara Elizabeth Taylor, and was
brought up in Omaha and Washington.
Az young girl she made rapid success
in THE Wild Rose" and other plays. She
then went over to England and repeated
her successes there.

Scots Guards and wealthy Scottish land
owner. Her married life was passed
among a very lively set of young noble
men, actresses and bohemian members of
society.
Caption Stirling brought a suit for d.
vorce against his American wife, naming
Lord Northland, son and heir of the Earl
of Ranfurly, as correspondent. Mrs. Stirl-
ing, in return, complained Of her husbands
intimacy with the beautiful Mrs Anterior,
who left a trail of ruin and trouble behind
her in English society for many years.
She finally married Captain Arthur Elliott,
co.heir of THE Better ole" and recently
blew out her brains because her beauty
was fading.
The court gave Captain Stirling his di.
Vorce, but did not sustain his wife's com.
plant about his relations with Mrs. Ather-
ton. In his Judgment, the presiding Judge
delivered a stern denunciaton Of the life
of pleasure and dissipation, with its race
course parties and boating parties, led by
the various young men and women con-
cerned.
Mrs. Stirling made a very spirited re-
joinder, outside the courtroom, to the judg
ment, in which she said the judges had
not shown a vestige Of impartiality and
had decided the case against her on two
letters which were susceptible of two
meanings.
Society expected that Lord Northland
would make Mrs. Stirling his wife, but he
omitted to do so, and soon afterward mar
ried young woman Of large wealth.
Mrs. Stirling continued TO be surrounded
by a large circle OF admirers and friends.
Among them was the fatally gifted Lord
George Cholmondeley, who wooed her
until she consented to become his bride.

5O-CENT GAS |S
 HAILED NONSENSE
Conference of Oil and Auto People Finds Situation
 Not Alarming

At a recent meeting attended by rep resentatives of the Society of Automo- tive Engineers, the American Petro- 1eum Institute and the National Auto mobile Chamber of Commerce the fol- lowing points were brought out:
 1. The present shortage and neces- sity for increasing the price of gaso- line are the result of too little drilling last year and are, therefore, only tenn porary. There may be temporary shortages on the Pacific coast and here and there throughout the country.
 2. The figures show that of the crude oil refined last year the gasoline from each gallon twas 22 per cent. In the eastern section it was 22 per cent; on the west coast only 12 per cent, whereas in the midwest where pro- auction is biggest 35 per cent of gaso- line was taken from each gallon or crude oil. With the east and west coast companies using the cracking processes, so generally used in the midwest section, a great increase in the quantity of gasoline is assured.
 3. It is not believed that gasoline will go above 35 or 36 cents at retail. The 50 cent talk is nonsense.
 4 Gasoline consumption during the last twelve months was less than pro- duction.
 5. One prominent oil man stated that sas the present situation is the result of an emergency, the bid price on oil will remain high, but With the present bid price of $3,50 per barrel for crude oil in the midwest field more active drilling, with the result ant increased production, will follow

 The car buyer today demands not only the best in his motor car, both in the way of appearance and mechanical per lection. but he demands also that assur- ance of service not possible in the old days.
 Ebe car buyer today demands almost uninterrupted service from his car. That means both time and money to him. He demands that service wherever he may be. If anything does go wrong he wants to be assured of a service station within reasonable distance where he can gel necessary parts and labor.

The Sheridan is the name of the new car to be manufactured at Muncie, Ind, by the Sheridan Motor Car Company, of which D. A. Burke is president and gen eral manager. This is a new division of the General Motors Corporation.
 This announcement clears up a degree of mystery which surrounded several statements made months ago when it be- came known that MT. Burke had re- signed from the organization of the Buick Motor Company to take on a new line of work with General Motors.
 MT Burke was then in charge of the Buick business in the Chicago terri tory including portions of five middle western states. Before that time he had

 [. The oil men advise the use of gasifiers; more careful designing of motors for greater economy in fuel consumption; that truck users should be warned against running motors when trucks are not moving, and that carburetor adjustment for economy should be a general practice with all cars.
 S. The automobile manufacturers suggested the need for better grade of gasoline, as the present fails of clean combustion and reaches the crank case, diluting the lubricating oil, with resultant damage to bear ings; that the oil people should in form us at least a year or two in ad- vance of the quality of gasoline that will be offered

 Since he left Chicago MT. Burke has divided his time between New York and Muncie, working with the engineers at the General Motors establishment on the Hudson and with his builders in the Indiana city which is to be Sheridan permanent home.
 Detailed announcements with respect to the new car will be made in the near future Production is expected to begin in August. this year.
