4 WARNING.

Pay no money to any person to as- certain information as to the location of any soldier grave in France. The War Department has issued warnng to this effect, adding that a letter to the Quartermaster General, Washing ton. will receive prompt and courteous attention.
 in giving this warning is the result of a swindle perpetrated upon the mother of a soldier who died in France. The swindler called and said he could get information as to the To- cation of the soldiers grave if the mother would pay his expenses to Washington. The money was paid.

Later he reported that the body would be sent home. Subsequent inquiries proved that no call had been made at the War Department.
 The New York Times characterizes this as the ''meanest swindle''. and it is difficult to conceive of one that would better deserve the name. The warning is here repeated in full sym pathy with this particular mother. and with those in like position.

Any doubt which might have been

come of the thirteenth automobile
tour in the series was driven to the
four winds when the handsome Co.
lumbia Six touring car rolled up in
frCnt of The Herald office on one of
those cool mornings last week. After
viewing the car which was to carry
the party on what some might have
called the 'hoodoo run" of the Sc
ries the path1nders decided that
they could scorn the old supersti-
tiop of the "uulucky thirteen" and
set their minds free of prospective
trouble over Il run which was to
take them to Hagerstown, Nd, per-

right proceeding to New Hamp-

avenue. Proceeding along this line
of egress from the city. the mo-
tOrist will meet at Buchanan street
with a Eewly-laid concrete Street
which offers a great temptation to
try out the speed of the car. Mo-
torists are warned that District
motorcycle police are everwatchful
here. and should restrain them
selves until well past the District
line.
The ride out this avenue carries
the mOtorist through a historical
section of the District. past the
famous Fort Stevens where Lincoln

OF Washington against the forces
OF Gen. Early. The battle-ground

in crossing the steam railroad
tracks at Silver Spring, the first
Maryland settlement passed. Then
the party passed through Sligo,
woodside and Forest Glen, at which
later place the National Park Sem
mary is located. At SO miles the
summer home of the Christ Child
Society, where little children are
taken for a vacation and given all
the pleasures of a life in the open,
is passed. At the 10.4 mile mark
Wheanton is passed, and the run is
continued to Norbeck, 1871 miles,
where a hard left turn is made onto
the road which carries the party to
Rockville.
Just after the turn the motorist
will see a tall black tower which
indicates the Maryland town of
Rockville. This road is one of the
best in the State. but care should
be taken in taking the two long
hills leading into and out of deep
valleys as there are several very
sharp turns.
After crossing the railroad tracks
in Rockville, proceed straight past
the stores on the right until the
main street is reached just north of
the fair grounds. Then turn right,
following the trolley tracks, until
the office of the light company is
reached. Then turn hard right onto
the Old Trail with it's red, white and
blue markers on the telegraph poles.
Here the pathfinding party settled
back to enjoy the easy riding on the
soft cushions of the Columbia Six,
and prepared to admire the scenes
through this rich farming country.
This part of the tour was covered
in the twelfth tour of the series.
However, the motorist should be
told to guard his driving carefully
and not undertake to stir up the
dust as soon as he gets outside of
the town of Gaithersburg as the
concrete road here has a number of
very deep holes caused by breaks
in the concrete. Failure to heed
this caution may mean a broken
spring or other trouble. These ruts
will be found until Middlebrook hill
is climbed. This is the hill which

Bolivia Promised

Supply, 1t Seems

+ Imports of crude oil and gasoline
promise to meet the fuel situation
permanently.
South America, especially Bolivia,
is opening up as the promised land
of oil supply. The United States
is drawing heavily on imports now.
The total gallons of gasoline i'm
ported during the first third of 1920
were 11,937,Oz4 gallons. according
to Bureau of Mines reports. This
was an increase of over $500, 900
gallons in imports over the same
period the preceding year.
The gain in imports indicates a
larger world production, which is
in keeping with the gain in the
American field. The average daily
margin of domestic production over
domestic consumption was 2,So0. 900
gallons in April, as shown by the
Bureau of Mines figures. Exports
were heavier than the imports )
nevertheless at the end of the month
the reserve stocks OF gasoline to-
tailed 643,552,644 gallons or 17,159.-

mand for from ten to fifteen years,

covered.

To continue the trip to Hagerstown
the motorist must make another
sharp tsrn to the left, proceeding
straight through the town, follow
ing the trolley tracks. The run
through the town brings mileage to
SIS, when a sharp turn to right is
made, following the trolley tracks.
Just after this turn is passed the
car approaches a large stone bridge,
typical of this section of Maryland.
1t provides a crossing for Antietam
Creek, and a halt is made for the
party to get a view of the beautiful
foliage which lines both banks of
the stream.

a hail from the party as to his luck
