The difficulty for German
workers is that If anything hap

expelled. would probably not re-
deem it. and the German gov

minnie" Proves Hit with Humor
and Humanity

Marshall Neilan put some rare
humor into his latest production,
Minnie" First National release
now being shown at the Colonial
Theatre. That its humor gets over
is evident by the gales of laughter
at every showing of Minnie" But
he has made the story human too.
And that is what people like most of
all
Leatrce Joy. who enacts the role
of Minnie" gives a remarkable per-
Torrance. Here's a girl who entered
the picture field by winning a beauty
prize and those who remember her
in other screen productions will ad-
nit that Leatrice is beauty. Yet in
this picture she is the 'homely girl
and she makes herself look the part.
In the end she shows her real self
which doubles the contrast in effect.
Leatrice has never filled a role like
this before.
Matt Moore also comes before the
public in a new role in Minnie" por-
traying an inquisitive, forgetful re-
porter. He has freckles. He wears
gold spectaclcs. His coat is long
and baggy. He is convincing enough
to make his audiences laugh with
and at him.
1t is doubtful if these two have
ever been seen to better advantage.
The screen could stand more pictures
like Minnie. ADV.

Gasoline Tax
Revenue Estimated
$5OO,OOO a Year

The gasoline tax will bring into the
State treasury about 100000 a year,
according to the estimate of State
Auditor l.. ID. Hayford.
Mr.. Hayford bases this estimate on
the computation that has been made
that for each automobile in the Uni
ted States enough gasoline will be
purchased i'll Il year to make a tax Of
$3.50, at the rate of one cent a gall
lon. There are about 10000 pleasure
cars owned in the State, and about
10000 trucks. At the rate of $3.50
each. these 100000 cars would bring
the total tax up to 100000 Then in
addition to this, must be figured the
tax derived from sales of gasoline to
be used in cars coming into Maine
from other states.
Returns received from the distribu-
tors already show that the tax for the
month of July will amount to over
$4,000 and all of the distributors
have not yet filed their returns. Mr..
Hayford figures that on the basis of
$4,000 month for the five months
of the busy summer season-May to
September inclusive-and half of

One drawback. he declared. is that
alcohol cannot be procured with
which to manufacture medicinal
preparations. He said that four
times in four years he had endeavor-
ed to get permit to use alcohol
for medicinal purposes. but had not
been successful. He said that in
order to get the permit for alcohol
, he would either have to disclose the
formula for his discovery. Radio
vim." or he would be obliged to put
this poison, "Acetone," in his pre-
partitions. He had refused to do
either.
Other Matters Taken Up
Charles Dunn. Jr. superintendent
u the State School for Boys at
South Portland. asked that an in
crease be granted to the teachers of
that school from 1925 a week to $40.
He said that he had been unable to
secure teachers at the former pay
and unless this increase is granted
the school of letters will not be
opened in September. Four teachers
are employed to teach about 140
boys.
Governor Baxter suggested that
Mr.. Dunn take up the matter with
DR.. A. o. Thomas, State commission
er of education, and Mr.. Dunn agreed
to do this.
