note puts further off than ever the
prospect of American intervention or
cooperation. They regard as par
ticularly audacious, Poincare's com.
plant that Germany's reparation ca
pacity is reduced to zero; and they
ask whose action reduced that en-
pacity to zero? Equally inept is the
comparison of Germany's position
with Austria's, for Austria is recoy-
ering not by war-like invasion and
economic stranglehold, but by a gen.
erous international loan made through
action by the League of Nations.
In a score of ways the note offers
a tempting bait for the British gov
eminent to reply with devastating
effect. 1t is to be hoped that this
temptation will be resisted. Nothing
would please Poincare better than n
prolonged inconclusive correspondence
on academic lines pending Germany's
complete collapse.
Next Step Uncertain.
The British governments next step
is uncertain and an announcement is
eagerly awaited. The die-hard in.
trigue continues and pressure I'M
1oubtedly has been brought to bear on
Prime Minister Baldwin, by the in
dustrious party of wire pullcrs to
climb down and then do nothing on
the basis of some amiable formula,
That course obviously would be fatal
to the government and to the interest
of Europe.
The government having put its
hand to the pillow, cannot turn back.
1t is significant that the powerful
hats off to France" society collapsed
in ignominy and laughter.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 25.-How
six cent gasoline-no bootleg, but
real high grade flivver hootch-came
to Los Angeles is the story of game
guy with an ace in the hole and a
trick sign.
Part of this story is the announce
ment of newly discovered refining
process by which gasoline may be
produced and sold at profit for
nickel gallon, on the basis of pres
ent prices for crude oil. And if this
merely means "may be" il is curious
how it has the big fellows groggy
in the merry gas war that has been
cut loose in this section of the land.
1t is n winning bet that John d.
Rockefeller never even heard of Roy
Gehr. Leaving John d. out of it,
it is the same kind of bet that the
big oil concerns never heard of Roy
Gehr up TO a few days ago. But to-
day they have heard of him. And
that is what's worrying them.
Gehr Started Something.
For Roy is one of those mouse trap
boys in the wilderness, with the world
beating path to his door. Gehr
leased corner lot well out toward
the suburbs and opened filling sta
ton. One of the large oil concerns
one of the big four--as they are
known out here-had its own highly
ornate filling station a couple of
hundred feet away across the street.
The lowly newcomer was frowned
upon for its impudence, but pitied for
its impotence. That's the way mat

Gasoline at Cents
The Story of Game Guy With an Ace in the Hole

before Gehr's station one cent lower
than that of the day before. His
enemy promptly would cut Gehr's
posted price by one cent. Meanwhile
the gas war became general. The
rival concern, backed by the big COM
pany, was confident it ultimately
would break him.
Down went Gehr's posted prices
until the target sign was marked with
big 30" The rival station i'm
mediately cut its price to eight cents.
While the enemy wasn't looking Gehr
turned his trick sign upside down
and a IS" appeared where the 20"
had been. And that's the way the
six cent gas came to Los Angeles.
The rival station surprised at the
lack of customers, sent out scout
who read Gehr's sign with bullying
eyes. lie reported back that the
price was 6 cents. But when others
came out to look they found the big
-" staring them in the face. They
told the scout he was crazy. For two
days now, with this strategy, Gehr
has held the big station, determined
to nut him out of business, absolute
~ HVipicoS. w HeHeNeT Tue rival COIn-
pany advertises gas at eight cents,
Gehr has his sign at Sc. And when
the rival drops to a nickel Gehr SIM
ply whirls his sign back to 40"
Now the big companies have found
out about Gehr's ace in the hole. He
is not buying gasoline at all. He is
getting it from the newly organized
Sterling Refining company which
happens to be Gehr's own company
with Q plant at Santa Fe Springs,
local gusher.
My gasoline is produced by an
entirely new process which bids fair
to increase the yield of gasoline to
such an extentsthat the motoring pub
lie must benefit through low prices
for years to come said Gehr today.
at seems TO me that gasoline should
sell for what it is worth. If it is
worth n nickel it will have to sell
for that"
Only few weeks ago gasoline was
two bits gallon. Today six cents will
get you that quantity and the Ford
sheiks and their gasoline geishas are
burning the potent stuff far into the
night.
Such is war.

MILK A GREAT FOOD
Absolutely Necessary for Healthy

Milk is probably the most essential

pure and abundant milk supply is nee

they should have it often and as much

are both found in milk. A quart of

of fat. The milk sugar in quart of

fill three tablespoons. Milk proteins
also add to the fuel supply.
A dollar spent for different kinds
of foods does not yield like quantity
of fuel in all cases. any more than
does dollar spent for wood, coal, gas
