BONUS TO SOLDIERS
IS OPPOSED BY
ADMINISTRATION

The administration opposition to

day in a letter from Secretary Hous-
ton to Chairman Fordney of the
House ways anu means committee
and made public by Representative
Henry T. Rainey of Illinois.
Representative Rainey interprets>
Secretary Houston's letter as a wary

soldiers bonus legislation and that
Congress will be kept in session all

Secretary Houston laid emphasis in
his letter
Nothing for many months has
caused as much excitement at the
Capitol as did this letter from Secre-
tary Houston, coming at a time when
the American Legion is in session In
Washington, and when the members
are visiting individual members OF
Congress in their offices in regard to
bonus legislation, and when the re-
publican members are about to meet
in caucus tonight on bonus legislation.
Secretary Houston in his letter
points out that within three years the
total indebtedness of the government
maturing will be about $4,000. .000. 900.

hitting the bills introduced by Repre-
sentative Johnson of South Dakota,
republican. and Representative Rainey
of Illinois, democrat, to provide for
the payment adjusted compensation
Both bills imposed an so per cent war
profits tax.
The Secretary's letter said:
1.-The most serious aspect of this COM
pensation matter. as l pointed out when
| had the honor of appearing before the
committee. is the proposal greatly to
add, especially at this time, to the pres
ent grievous burden resting upon the
people of the nation and upon the
Treasury. The method of financing the
proposal raises grave problems. but Is
secondary.
The very heavy burdens which will
rest upon the Treasury by reason of
laws already enacted, including par
ticularly the recent railroad law.
which it is estimated will entail an
expenditure of approximately $1.0o0.-
900, 900, and also by reason of the de-
lay in making provisions to realize

railroads and ships. taken in connec-

aside from and in addition to any
taxation which it might be necessary

REPAIRS ON ROADS
TO SUBURBS SOON
County Superintendent Has
Plans for Action Within
Two or Three Weeks.

Within the next two or three weeks
substantial repairs will be made to
all the main highways connecting the
District with Maryland. an official in
the office Of L. r. Grabill, superintend-
ent of county roads, promised today.
"Of course. we cannot put these
main arteries in the condition they
ought to be in with the limited funds
at our disposal, but we will try to
make them smooth" said one of Mr.
Grabills representatives.
With the $4,000 deficiency item just
appropriated by Congress the super
intendent of county roads expects to
make some immediate improvement in
the main highways, such as Connectl-
cut avenue Wisconsin avenue. Ben
ming road and 18th street. by patching
up the worst holes.
Depends ON Congress.
The amount Of immediate improve
able to make in the roads. however.
depends largely on whether Congress
allows the additional $20.0 900 for sub
urban roads for which the Commits
sioners have asked in the general de-
ficiency bill.
The, $35,oo0 deficiency amount re-
Gently made available will just about
cover the wages Of the men for the
balance of the fiscal year. There is not
very large supply Of the materials
used in repairing the suburban roads
on hand. II the additional $4,000 il
allowed by Congress it will make pos-
sible the purchase OF more supplies.
I'VE always have a lot of patching
to do on the Suburban roads In the
spring." said one Of Mr.. Grabill's as
sistauts, but thisfsprfng we were un-
able to start repairing the damage
done during the winter, because just
when good weather was setting in
our fund became practically ex-
hausted."
AS a result of this shortage of funds
nearly all of April was lost.
Fear Conference Deadlock.
Officials of the engineer department
pointed out today that il the District
bill becomes deadlocked in conference
between the House and Senate, as it
did last summer. the resurfacing of
Bladensburg road, Bowen road and
part of Connecticut avenue will be
delayed.
The engineer department cannot get
bids or make contracts for these jobs
until the appropriation bill becomes
law.
The agent of a bodybuilding supply
company. who called at the District
building today. said that Washington
Is not alone in the problem Of keeping
its highways in good condition during
these times Of high prices and in
creased use Of motor vehicles.
The Boston post road. which. he said.
was regarded as one of the best in
the country. has been badly damaged
by heavy use. The growth Of the ship
oy-truck movement, he declared. is
telling on the roads Of the country.

THE automobilist appreciates
/ good gasoline most when he
steps on the throttle and notes the
efficiency in performance of his
engine-blueprint efficiency alone
means little to him.
Knowing this. the Standard Oil
Company (Indiana) has devoted
much of its energy to the devel.
opmcnt of a motor gasoline which
not only stands the grueling test
of research laboratories, but which
has proved its efficiency in thou
sands of cars operated under every
day road and weather conditions.
The Company ha. studied the needs Of
the motorist at first hand, and has devel-
oped Red Crown, its motor gasoline, to a
point where it meets exactly the needs of
the automobile engine operating under
conditions obtaining in the Middle West.
The efficiency Of Red Crown symbolizes
the spirit which animates the Company
Is whole in its endeavor to render an
intelligent, efficient service to the public
generally.
The tremendous increase in the number
of automobiles and trucks from l,253.0OO
in 1914 to J, 459, 5W in August, 1920, has
made more apparent than ever the abso-
lutte necessity of comprehensive, de-
pendable system Of distribution.
The development of such system has
changed from something merely desirable
to something vitality necessary. The best
gasoline in the world is useless il you can-
not get it when you want it.
Every step from refining to final delivery
is Of such importance to the Standard
Oil Company Qndiana) that ID interest
never abates until ID gasoline il deliverine
maximum motor mileage; until il lubri-
eating oils are helping do the work Of
the world to the satisfaction of the ulti-
mate consumer.
The greatly increased yield of gasoline
which this Company has been able to
recover from the crude obninable has
been accomplished without sacrifice Of
quality.
Red Crown and Polarine performance
are the best proofs Of Standard Oil Com.

PHOEINIXVILLE COUNTRY HAS
FINE GOLF CLUB PROSPECT
BY SANDY McNIBILCK


THE Phoenixville Country Club is all
L set for its biggest season. The man
agement made certain Of that by the
nature of the opening day send off
which was Saturday and, anyhow, the
club is only couple Of years old.
1t has nine-hole course which is
a very sporty piece Of links, II has
promising prospects also Of another nine
holes in the near future. And above
all il has an enthusiastic and efficient
group Of officials in charge Of its de-
velopment.
There few courses in Philadelphia
that can lay claim to the scenic charms
surrounding these links set in the heart
of the beautiful Valley Forge region,
discovered and founded by one George
Washington. y
Didn't see>much forge, but there was
powerful plenty Of valley, not wee
bit Of which is inserted in the links.
The course is very new and is nat
urally rough in spots but the only
criticism possible is the number of blind
shots for a player who is hitting his
ball.
This applies particularly to the ap.
proach shots, which could be remedied
by turning some of the holes around and
playing from present green to present
tee
There is some talk Of making this
change. Otherwise it would be hard
to improve on the course.
