GASOLINE AT 20 CTS.
GALLON PREDICTED
Oil, Too, Expected To Drop In Near
Future

1t was rumored yesterday in au-
tomobile circles and among the deal
ers that before long gasoline will be
down to 20 cents gallon.
Owing to the large number of
companies and the competition
among them. together with the
strong fight being made by automo-
bilists all over the country. 1t is be-
lieved that this decrease in price
will come very shortly.
The best grade of gasoline at
present is selling for 80 cents gal
lon, while inferior grades sell for a
few cents less.
A large number of the oil COM
panies. finding that competition in
Baltimore is becoming very brick.
are now considering slashing prices.
They contend that the company that
is first to lower oil figures will be
the company to do most business.
This, of course, will only apply to
the best grade of oil.

lions. The odds conclusively point to
the former. The presidents letter
with ~introductio nfollows:
"It does not seem likely that it
will be practicable to bring an eX-
service man of temporary experience
into conference, because of the very
limited number in the delegation
and the further fact that the larger
military and naval information ne
cessary to justify prudent action
will necessarily come from actual SER
vice men who devote all of their time
to naval and military problems. Of
necessity the army and navy will
both be very highly represented,
though perhaps, neither branch of
our national defense will likely have
a representative on the main delega-
ton. I am writing this letter to you
on the assumption that the main del
egaion will be a very small one, prob
ably not exceeding more than four
in membership.
"I am sure that you, were our po-
sitions reversed, would be anxious to
appoint men who have large exper-
fence in international matters and
who are thoroughly versed in inter
national relationships. You can un-
derstand how perfectly seemly it is
to have the secretary of state head
the delegation and how naturally
have turned to the chairman of the
foreign relations committee of the
senate for a member of the delega.

Tribute to ]. N. Griffis.
Editor, Edgefield Advertiser:

Editor, Edgefleld advertiser:
And now my old friend and broth
er, Nick Griffis has left us and gone
home, though he was some years old
er than 7, l had for several months
expected to reach home first, but
the Lord has willed otherwise.
And what shall l. say of my dear
brother. About 46 eyars ago I bap-
tised him into the fellowship of the
Red Oak Grove church, and ever
after he was devoted to both his
church and pastor.
He delighted to tell of his CONVEX
sion in detail. He says that before
his conversion he was a little in
clined to drink and after n of
these spells, during a ~protracted
meeting at the Grove he took his
wife out to church (for he was always
thoughtful and kind). He says that
he said to himself, 81 believe i will
go in the house and hear what George
has to say" When he came III, (there
a part of the rear end cut off
for negroes) he took his seat back
there, being a little shy of the front.
AS l preached he became interested.
The next day, he came nearer, into
the white department. And he con-
tinued each day as he became more
deeply interested, to move nearer.
He. said he felt that l aimed
at him. At last he took his seat in
the Amen corner and when l gave
the invitation for prayer he came up
and breaking down he put his arms
around my neck and asked for pray
er. Then relief came. He v tired
of telling this story and delighting in
it. 1 baptised him and ever since
he has been devoted to his church
and to me. AS pastors, we made a
little compact that the one who went
first the other should attend the fun
eral but, sad to relate, / was not to
be able to attend his burial last
Friday. Until he moved from the
Grove church, a. year ago, / contin-
ued to preach and went down two
Sundays each month. He would meet
me each Saturday at Modoc as reg
ular as the train would come and
take all my rounds while down Sat-
urday and Sunday, and back to the
train with me Sunday, P. M. He
would not consent for any other to
do this. In many other ways he
showed his love and kindness fol-
his church and pastor. He had at
tanned the ripe old age of IS, but he
adored the profession he made years
ago, and the fruit of his good WORK
will follow for years to come.
Mr.. Griffis leaves a wife some
what afflicted for some years from
the effects of a fall she received
in which her hip was broken, also one
son, j. T. Griffis and a daughter
Mrs. Trap McManus.
We can only say in the language
of the Holy Writ, "The Lord gave
his name"
his name.

Spouse to the plea of Mr.. LETTERS
that he include in the delegation
personnel a legionnaire. The presi-
dent declared it to be impossible to
comply.
1t was probably because of his
regret that he discussed the situa-

CLOSED CARS GAIN
FAVOR OF PUBLIC
Coupes and Sedans Now Re-
garded as AII-Year PROPOSE
ton, Says Jewett.
By ALEXANDER JOHNSTON,
Editor Of MOTOR.

With the advent of cold weather,
motorists throughout the country are
being invited to give their attention
to inclosed cars on display in numer-
Gus salons or shows or in special
salesroom exhibitions. When the
moth balls are shaken out of the
overcoat tho mind is in a receptive
mood for sedans and coupes. and
there Is no. doubt that interest in
these models Is now very keen.
This is the natural time 10 open
the closed-car season and the logical
time for the motorist to examine tho
market to see what IL offers in cars
Of this STYLE" says Harry NJ. Jewett,
president Of the Paige-Detroit Motor
Car Company. CLOSED cars, how
ever. have really ceased to be
seasonal proposition. They are now
regarded as an all-year- round car
and rightly so, for. with the ad-
vance made In body design and
equipment, permitting the lowering
and raising Of windows with ease
and dispatch, the sedan AMI coupe
are found to be as desirable for
summer as for winter. There Is no
question that the inclosed car is the
modern automobile. offering the ut
most in motoring comfort under all
conditions.

AUTO TIPS
Careful drivers save fuel.

Careful drivers save fuel.
Keep oil off the motor. 1t gathers
grease.
Never "cut in" short after passing a
vehicle.
In some future time, reckless walk
ing will be considered just as serious
as reckless driving.
Endurance, economy, comfort and
price are the four most popular fea.
lures OF n passenger automobile.
Road Hogs" in motor vehicals and
Jay Walkers" on highways are the
two worst enemies OF automobiling.
Many fatal accidents have occurred
to operators who thoughtlessly step on
tho accelerator instead OF on the brake.
When using hammer on any part
NJ q car always keep a block OF wood
between IL and the metal part TO be
hammered.
