LONDON OIL COMPANIES
CUT PRICE OF PETROL
Many Reasons Given for Reduction
Which Was Wholly
Unexpected.

/ According to the American Cham
Der of Commerce in London, the price
of petrol in Great Britain has been
reduced by Sd. per gallon. with pros
poets of a further reduction at
later date.
The decision of the oil companies.
says the chamber, was as unexpected
as was the sudden increase of I'd
per gallon in August last, which
caused a general outcry throughout
the country and accusations of prof.
teering on the part of the various
oil companies concerned.
Various reasons are given for the re-
duction, chief among which is over
consequent weakness in the market
due to inability to absorb the whole
output.
The report of the American Society
of Motor Manufacturers and Traders,
does ba not ss S9nrn ths seatf In
the price of petrol is due to over.
supply in America. In 1913 the petrol
production of the United States was
just over $500. 900. 900. while for 1919
Ions This very small increase is
out of proportion to that in the

Guiding motor cycles, rose from
slightly over 100000 in 1918 to over

CARE AT GRADE CROSSINGS
OBJECT OF SAFETY CAMPAIGN

During the past year 1,777 drivers
and occupants of automobiles were
killed at railroad crossings. and 1855
injured. The alarming frequency of
such accidents has prompted the
Franklin Automobile Company Of
Syracuse to wage a national Watch
out for the railroad crossings cam
palgn through its dealer organixa-
ton. directing the attention Of every
FRANKLIN owner to the danger Of TAX
ing chances" at grade crossings. and
pointing out certain rules which. II
adhered to, would reduce crossing
accidents to minimum. That this
safety first" movement is to gain a
nationwide impetus seems certain,
as assurance has been received from
all the more prominent automobile
manufacturers that they will be glad
to Cooperate by mailing to their
owners letter similar to the one
which the Franklin Company has sent
to every Franklin owner. Observance
or the following rules is urged:
Cd Do not allow children to drive
your car, or. for that matter. any one
who is not able to keep the car under

In these times of tight money one
must be pretty shrewd to put it over
on a banker. At least one autonio-
tive dealer-in Iowa-has found
way.
When his home town bankers re-
fused to cooperate he went to the
banker with whom he had customarily
done business. However. the assist
ance was not forthcoming.
The dealer was well known in the
town and knew the town equally

and guaranteed every note.
