The cell door swings wide for the
gasoline fraud.
The patton wide campaign of ex-
posure and. prosecution of the perpe-
traitor of this practice. started by the
National Motorists Association. has
resulted in the clipping of his wings.
But. emboldened by the countless
opportunities for delivering less gas

the way of detection. the short-meas-
ure gas artist is here and there ex-
acting the toll Of greed This eX-
! tortion may result at times from
faulty machines. but not often. lit is
believed. the shortages being due to
manipulations at the hands of dis
| honest employees and without the
knowledge Of the employers.
Cooperation between municipal au-
! thorities. owners of motor cars and
the \. NJ A. for the purpose of en-
tirely eliminating this form of abuse
has had good results. Not only has
the spotlight OF publicity been thrown
upon the practice. but Investigations
have been conducted followed by
prosecutions. Proprietors of filling
stations. between which there is much
competition due the increasing num-
Der of them. can help in making GER
tain of the honesty of those employed

farious practice.
Warfare to He Kept Up.
on this subject Fred II. Galley. sec
retary of the National Motorists As
socia ation. said:
Our organization intends to keep
up the war upon these perpetrators
of sharp practice in trade. The press
of the country has given valuable as
sStance through the broadcasting Of
statements from the y. NJ A. as to
the prevalence of this practice, and
municipal officers have worked with
officers OF our affiliated clubs in the
making of Investigations. In Louis
VILE and Cleveland. particularly, for
example, campaigns have been con-
Quoted and with good results.
Using decoy ears. filling stations
have been visited. purchases made
and the latter measured immediatelS.
In a recent raid in Cleveland. the Sec
ond of the kind within a few months
out OF twentyseven tests made short
measure was shown in twenty-six.
The shortage in some instances
amounted to close TO one gallon out
of a five-gallon purchase. Results
obtained several months ago from
raids made in Louisville and other y.
NJ a. cities, Wnlle not showing as
great shortages as in the one in
Cleveland, were such as to emphasize
the presence of the shoTt-meaSure
practice.
THE automobile owner gets it COM
ing and going. We are suggesting to
our affiliated clubs that they redouble
their efforts and relentlessly prose-
cute employees or proprietors Of flling
stations who continue to give snort
measure, taking care. however. that
