Jar signs in these parts already are missing. Hereafter a man with 9 cold | will have to get suggestions and in spirations for a cure other than from | wayside signs of some soothing concoc tion. Garage and hotel signs are under | the ban. So, too, with all classes of to- bacco advertisementS-and everything, | it may be said. Signs may not be erected, even, on property bordering the highway with 1 out first securing permission from the owner of the land, and such siwns, too, are subject to removal by the state po- lice, it is said. Talk about prohibitionl Why, boy, we're only in low as yet! Someone with a hectic idea that he was not getting his moneys worth when he bought a gallon of gasoline for his Blitzen Benz and got 50 heated up as to stir the town sealer of weights and I measures to action, has really done public service-bat not along the lines he expected.
 i The average automobile owner will have reason to permit himself smile | this morning when, on the word Of Town Sealer. Gaston A. Maindon, this paper is permitted to tell him that ev- cry time he buys gas at one of the fll- ing stations in town he gets a little bit more than he pays for; in other words, practically every gas pump in town is giving great. big gallons to use the words of MT. Maindon, more than enough to fill the standard gallon meas ure that the town furnishes MT Main don to use in making his official tests. The particular pump about which the complaint came in Is one of those that overruns the gallon measure that was used in making the test MT. Maindon says that he found some cases where pumps that had not been used for a few hours would run short a half cup full on the first gallon, but gave over flow gallons on every succeeding turn, so that man who bought as much as two gallons was certain to get as much as he paid for, and more than he paid for in buying larger quantities.
 Many gas buyers have a habit of , stating that the measuring pumps do not deliver full gallons, but this has been found to be untrue in Killingly, for the pumps are just little more , | than making good. And it is so, too, , MT Maindon found with the pumps that measure the lubricating oils that motor ists use.
