10 CENT GASOLINE
WAR COMING EAST
Penn. Motorists Seek Advice
From South Dakota

Philadelphia, Aug. 10.-Organized
motorists of Pennsylvania are going to
take some action to try to reduce the
cost of gasoline here. which it is said
is more expensive than elsewhere.
Following the action of Gov. Nc
Master of South Dakota in ordering
the state warehouse at Mitchell to sell
gasoline to the public at 16 cents a
gallon, telegram for full informa-
ton as to this action has been sent
to South Dakota Secretary of State
by E. e. Hogle, secretary of the Au-
tomobile club of Philadelphia.
Something must be done to pro-
tect the motorist," said Mr.. Hogle,
land If South Dakota can take dras-
tic action and get results, want to
know the full details as to the steps
followed. l have wired the secretary
of state of South Dakota, and when
have his reply will communicate with
Governor Pinchot to see If some SINH
lar procedure can be followed here"
j. Maxwell Smith, executive secre-
tary of the Keystone Automobile club,
said there was no excuse for the cost
of gasoline.
There is said to be more gas in
storage today than ever before" he
said. Supply and demand usually
regulate price. and here we have an
oversupply with constantly mount
ing price. What is really needed Is
action by the National Motorists AS
ISOLATION"
Large amounts of gasoline are lost
to motorists each year because of
either the willful or accidental short
measure given at supply stations, ac-
cording to Thomas A. Seraphin, SUI
perintendent of the gasoline pump
and meter division of the bureau of
weights and measures.

THE LESSON OF A LIFE.

This afternoon the dead body
which, to us. represents the living
spirit and soul of Warren G.. Harding,
will be lowered into the grave. The
soul and spirit of him will live on as
there lives the spirit of the humblest
citizen who has died; as lives the
spirit of the unknown soldier. AS we
idealize the unknown one who, in
life, fell far short of that idealiza-
ton because he was human, so it is
our privilege, our right to seize the
inspiration that comes from the
thought of the best that was in him
we mourn today.
If ever president of the United
States exemplified that great blessing.
Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
Men" it was the man who has died
His last words written for the people
to hear were prompted by that desire
TO take step in this direction, the
direction OF universal brotherhood,
He would have crossed the waters to
Europe in order that he might plead
with all dignity for that brother
hood. He would have given up his
ambition for future political honors in
order to stand by that high ambi-
ton. His own words, spoken long
before death threatened, disclose this
ardent longing to help bring peace
TO the world. Good will" were his
words, in effect. ''alone may reach the
fundamentals which violence cannot
touch"
The lesson Of life! Each life

Move to Cut Gasoline Cost.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1o.-A reflection
of the action of Gov. McMaster OF
South Dakota in ordering the state
Tuesday to sell gasoline at half price
was seen here in the announcement
by G. Hill, secretary of the automo-
bile club, that its trustees were con-
sidering the establishment of a sta
ton to sell gasoline "at reasonable
profit"
I'VE believe the present price of
231k cents gallon for gasoline that
we understand is laid down in Mime
apolis for 10 cents a gallon is exor-
bitant," Mr.. Hill said.
The club has 5000 members.

London to Entertain
World Fencing Experts

New York. June 7-(By A. Ply
New regulations anL conditions for
the international fencing matches in
London, July 90. 81 and %. between
British and American teams for the
Robert M. Thompson trophy, laid
down by the Amateur Fencers' AS
ISOLATION of Great Britain, have been
accepted by the American Fencers'
organization. The new conditions
were made, the British association
announced, in an effort to prevent a
recurrence of the unsatisfactory out
come of the 1921 international
matches held in this country and
won by the United States.
In 1921 America won the foils
match, and the epee match went to
the English swordsmer The sabre
match was a tie in bouts. but the
British team scored the greatest ag-
gregate number of touches. Amer
lea, however. was awarded the
trophy on bouts under the rules. The
American rule permitting frequent
substitutions also did not meet with
the approval of the British team.
This year the foils and sabre bouts
will be decided by the greatest num-
Der of hits in nine, and the epee by
one touch. Each team will consist
of six swordsmen, four of whom
fence. Substitutions will be allowed
only in cases of accident or illness.
The decision will be by matches in
stead of by bouts. as in 1921. In
case of tie in matches the decision
will be by bouts, and in event off,
tie in bouts. by touches.
There will be sixteen bouts with
each weapon, constituting three.

CONY TRACKSTERS
WILL MEET WITH
GARDINER TODAY

The annual Cony- Gardiner track
meet will be held this afternoon az
3 o'clock at Capital Park. Cony is ex.
pecting to take this meet by a small
margin but track dope seems to be
very unstable and an upset might
spell defeat for the Copy boys. Last
year it will be remembered that the
Gardiner boys were expected to win
and Cony took the meet by a score
OF 69-44 thus showing that the dope
bucket may be upset at any time.
AS it is doped out harrington
should take the. 100 yard and 220
yard with Morrill, or Dale Of Gardiner
pressing him closely. Mullaney OF
Gardiner will probably take the 440
with Sellar of Cony giving him run
for the money. Howell of Cony
seems to be in a position to take the
half mile with ease.
Leighton Of Gardiner seems TO have
a little the edge in the mile but Lish-
ness will press him hard WITH the
possibility of displacing the down
river boy.
The hurdles are practically an I'M
known quantity. Kendall is going
over the high ones in good form for
Cony. In the low hurdles Gardiner

harrington looks like the winner in
the shot put and the discus, with
Brennan Of Cony second and Sim
mons Of Gardiner who is throwing the
discus consistently at the 100 foot
mark, close behind in that event.
Gray Of Gardiner will probably take
the pole vault with ease with Hill

competition.
