ABROAD
 HAS MANY THRILLS
 FOR AN AMERICAN

Motoring in Europe is very differ cnt from motoring in the United States. The first thing that motor. ist must learn is that he must keep to the left instead of to the right. Needless to say this is confusing, and may become serious, if one forgets.
 The rules in France seem to have been made with the connivance of the guardian angel of the motorists. About the only serious thing you can do is to have your car smoking. As far as speed laws are concerned, there aren't any. Cars go dashing thru the boulevards of Paris \at breakneck speeds, limited only by the daring and skill of the drivers. If a pedestrian is so unfortunate as to step into the path of an oncoming car he is prompt ly arrested. The motorist keeps right on.

GASOLINE TAX
 ADVOCATED BY
 US. ROADS CHIEF

Washington, August, 29.-It will be of interest to Colorado automobilists to learn that no less an authority than Thomas H. Macdonald, chief of the federal bureau of public roads, is ser iously proposing @ cent-a-gallon tax on gasoline.
 "Forty million dollars annually can be raised for road-building and main tenance by a tax of one cent gallon on gasoline" said MT. Macdonald in urging a readjustment of sources of revenue so that a larger proportion would be paid by the road user and a lesser percentage from state or local taxes.
 "This method of raising funds" ," went on Mir. Macdonald, "is rapidly growing in favor and has been adopt ed in Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina South Dakota and Washington. Of l, these states, only Oregon, New Mexi- co, Colorado and Kentucky had such "a tax prior to Jan. l, 1921. The tax in Maryland, Mississippi and South Carolina has been adopted during the present year and several other states are considering such tax"
 Surplus war material valued at $139,773,9S6 was delivered to the states for use in road construction up to July 1, the bureau of public roads reports. This material, which consist ed of all sorts of supplies and equip ment suitable for road building for which the war department had no fur ther need, was distributed on the same basis as monetary federal aid.
 In value of material received, Texas and New York lead with nearly $S,- 100000 worth of material and every state with the exception of five of the smaller ones received supplies valued at over $1,O00,000.
 This material has ben of great val ue in road construction and there is hardly county in the United States in which some of it has not been used. |. Probably of greatest value has been the 29,325 motor vehicles distributed, consisting of 24,752' trucks and 4,573 automobiles, and in addition a large number of tractors.
 The system of distribution has been so arranged that the states acquisition only materiol useful to them. In some cases they fall behind in allotments in order to wait for material particularly desired. Many of the states have worn equipment, using war material to equip shops in which other war ma terial is made suitable for use.
 There is still large quantity of ma terial in this country for distribution. This will be further increased by ma terial used by the army of occupation in Germany soon to be brought. back.

Costumes of men of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries have been found in an ancient burial ground in the southwestern part of Greenland by a Danish scientist. They are the only existing specimens in the world of garments worn in that period. The temperature of the frozen earth for the past 500 years has preserved them fro mdestruction by age and moths.

PRICE REDUCTIONS
 INCREASE SPEED
 OF AUTO INDUSTRY
By Whitcomb Williams

Detroit, Aug. 26.-Recent price cuts announced to many automobile con cerns, and others yet to be heard from, are principal topics of conversation in financial and automobile circles, but not one word of alarm is express ed on account of the price revisions. Most of the cuts have been made by competitive companies and none of them can be. considered sensational.
 Practically every cut was the direct result of .s large output, and a conse- quent lowering of overhead and man. ufacturing costs, based on a reason able expectation of continuance of heavy production. The industry is again passing on to the public the benefit freduced production expense "a policy tha thas had much to do with bringing the vast amount of bus iness which the industry has recently enjoyed.
 The reductions it is believed, are sure to encourage the farmers who for the last two years have felt they have been paying inflated prices for necessities, while their own products were not up to standards. They are now realizing that the automobile i'm dustry is playing fair with them, and are in mood to buy. .,..
 August opened with many thrilled orders on hand by plants making the popular line of cars. How many of these orders will stand in face of fur ther reductions in price is problemati- cal, but no heavy shlinkage is antic- ipated.
 June business was about 25 per cent more than that for the month of July, and it is not probable that August business will fall more than 25 per cent under the July level. Sept. 1 is the date set for business to have set tied on solid foundation, and the industry will enter the fall months with excellent prospects for large sales, especially in the closed car lines.

MOTOR CAR EXPORTS
 GAIN 25 PER CENT

Washington, Aug. 26.-Encourag- ing information in regard to q boom in automobile exports was made pub lie tcday by the department of labor. An announcement by the department says:
 Exports of automobile products during June, valued at $15,063,717, registered a gain of 25 per cent over the exports during May, valued at $11,967,614. Automobile engines have been included in the exports for both months.
 "June exports of automobile prod ucts amounted, approximately, to three times the shipments during the first month of the current year, the total having been $5,05S,409 for the month of January, not including en- zines, however.
 "In contrast to May, where increase over April was due to shipments of trucks, the June increase occurred in passenger car exports, 7,818 having been exported at value of $5,807, ,226 an increase of 15 per cent in num- Der and 17 per cent in value-where- as exports of trucks decreased 6.9 per cent in number, and 3.2 per cent in value from the May shipments, 1,121 having been shipped during June at a value of $7S6,279. Automobile engine exports numbering 8,852 and valued at SS31 ,401, increased 5S per cent in number of 34 per cent in value. Parts were exported to the value of $4,O89,- 772, increasing 29 per cent as com pared with May.
 "The unit values of both passenger cars and trucks increased slightly, the former by SIS and the latter by $26, the average value of passenger cars exported having been $742 and that of trucks $701. The unit value of mo- torcycl les exports was $256-a decrease of SIP. The number exported was 1878 and their value $5O6,174-an increase of 16 per cent in number and II per cent in value. The value of parts of motorcycles exported de- creased 21 per cent.
 "The four leading passenger car markets of the United States during June took increased shipments as con- pared with May. Canada ranked first, with 1897 cars, that being the largest amount shipped to that coun- try during any month in 1922. Sweden continued to hold second place, hav- ing taken 961 cars during June and SOP during May. Spain took 239 pas senger cars as compared to Al and aJpan dropped from 176 in May to only ten in June.>~
