PREDICT BIG JUMP IN
GASOLINE PRICES

|. Chicago, March 12-Predictions
that gasoline would increase in price
during 1920 possibly to 35 cents a
gallon, were made by delegates atten
ding the national petroleum congress
in the Congress hotel. This time next
year the prices may be 40 cents gal
lon and possibly so cents, they say.
Frederick w. Lehman Jr., general
counsel for the Western Petroleum
Refiners' Association, declared that
protective measures must be taken if
tn country is to avoid an oil famine
with prohibitive prices.
1.-THE price of'gas' in England is
$1.7S a gallon" he said, land a gov
eminent commission has recomnien-
ded S1.39 as fair price. So, you see,
Americans don't know anything about
high prices yet.
'In 1915 there were 100000 auto
mobiles in this country and 288,000,
! 900 barrels of crude oil were produc

1919 there were 100000 automo-
biles and 376,00O,0 900 barrels of crude
oil were produced at cost of $2.25
a barrel. Today crude oil is $3.50 a
barrel. Figure it out for yourself.

The Cemetery Road

In view of the labor crisis, some
one has made timely suggestion as
to the cemetery road, and we give it
as worthy of consideration for all in
Eterested: As soon as spring opens up,
bringing favorable weather condi-
lions, let day be set for voluntary
work--a second day to follow, if neces
sary-the ladies of the town to serve
dinner on the court lawn for the work
ing force. The suggestion was made
on the occasion of recent burial and
in the presence of dozen or more
men, one of them being Mr.. Hull
Kramer, who said he would try to
make it suit to be there, and if per-
mitted, use the big roller on the job.
Others agreed to furnish teams, one
man offering two and others one each
A force of 20 to 25 men with some
thing like six teams would bring
about wonderful transformation
even in day.
We are seldom reminded of the
shameful condition of this driveway
except on funeral occasions, and
hitherto but little or no attention has
been paid to such suggestions as the
one above.
What do you think of it, friends of
those VINO sleep in that sacred spot?
Who will follow, up the suggestion
with steps looking to it's carrying
out, or improve on the plan? The
assent of the ladies as to their part
IS foregone conclusion, and perhaps
they may be prevailed upon to name
the day, as we'll : IS ascertain the
strength CT the voluntary force that
may be depended upon and report
through these columns.

Educators and Health
Workers are Gratifed
I remain,
A California Girl

Richmond, Va, March 16-Among
the constructive achievements of the
General Assembly session just closed
probably few afford more gratifea-
tion to Virginia educators and health
authorities than the passage of the
West-Deans bill providing adequate
ly for health examinations and physi
cal education of all school children
in the Commonwealth. The appro-
priation which this bill originally
carried was withdrawn before pass
age, because the augmented allow
ances for child welfare and for physi-
cal education in the budget bill made
special appropriation unnecessary.
Under the WestLa w approved in
1913. DR.. M. E. Brydon, of the State
Board of Health, directed the con-
ducting of health inspections by.
nurses, physicians, and technically
competent teachers in most of the
counties of the State. The alarming
prevalence of eye and ear troubles,
defective teeth and tonsils, adenoids,
and malnutrition, coupled with the
high percentage of reflections for
military service during the war, made
it clear that the facilities for learn
ing the facts should be expanded and
that the inspections should be follow
ed up by remedial measures, that is,
by suitable physical training and hy-
giene instruction throughout the
schools. 1t was to accomplish these
commendable results that the new
law was framed.
Specially, the act provides for
the securing of a state supervisor of
physical education, authorizes the
State Departments of Health and of
Education to pay not>m than one
half of the salary of each locally-em-
ployed school nurse, physician or
physical director; requires that all
/ Tree puUllC SCEOOlS III Tie SldLG Shall
maintain a course in physical train
ing and instruction in hygiene; pro
vides that each normal school shall
give courses in these subjects; and
requires that, after September, 1915
every teacher must hold certificate
showing the satisfactory completion
of such courses. However, the State
Board of Education may modify or
waive this last requirement in any
cases where it's enforcement would
impair the teaching force of the pub
lie school system
The bill received sixty1sr cent of
the votes in the House and passed
the Senate without opposition. 1t
has the enthusiastic approval of the
BOARD of Health the Board of Educa-
s8atfon, the Cooperative Education AS
ISOLATION, and the Virginia Education
Commissioner. Virginia is the. ff-
, teenth State to enact law for uni
versal physical education,

last Thursday March 4th, when the

raised in Highland county. He left
there in 1883 for the western states.
He resided there until 1893 and made
a trip back to his home town and in
1908 he again went to visit Virginia
and from there he went to make
Grundy Center, Grundy County. Iowa
his home until he decided to visit the

land of Sunshine, Reedley, Calf, from

hearty welcome by all.

Pleasing Incident

The women of the Mcdowell COM
munity have recently given a prac-
tical demonstration of the truth that
bouuets should not all remain for
ones casket lid.
On the eve of her departure for an
other state, Mrs. c. S. Peterson was
given what might be termed a sur
prise party, all the ladies of the
town meeting at her home late in
the evening, each carrying basket
or mysterious bundle Mrs. Peterson
was instructed to keep her seat in
the living room while some of the Wis
itors took possession of the kitchen
and dining-room. In due time Mrs.
]. B. Bradshaw, who seemed to be
"chief conspiritor", appeared and told
the hostess that she could now invite
her company to the dining-rcom.
This was done, and it is said that
nothing but the large number present
and their prompt action, saved the
table from wreck.
AS further testimony of their es-
TEEN for their departing neighbor
and church worker, these same lad
les have placed an order for a hand
some china dinner set to be shipped
to Mrs. Peterson's new home, there
to await her arrival late in the pres
lent month, at which time they expect
to move to Pennsylvania.

placing the camp-owners on notice
that. the long-delayed season had

of the mud, there was no mail from
