MRS. RUTH BACKED
FOR JUVENILE JUDGE
Senator Ball Wants President tt
Appoint Delaware Woman to
Miss Sellers Place.

Senator Ball of Delaware. chairman
of the Senate committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia, wants President
Coolidge to appoint Mrs. Charles Ruth
of this city and Wilmington, Del,
judge of the Juvenile Court of the
District to succeed Judge Katheryn
Sellers, whose term of Office expires
September IL, next.
Senator Ball made this request of
the President in person today and
he had Mrs. Ruth with him at the
time. They were with the President
about twenty minutes, during which
time the senator is known to have
told the President of the qualifica-
tions of his candidate.
Mrs. Ruth, wife of Capt. Charles
Ruth, is a member of the bar, and
has experience in law and in welfare
work both in this city and her native
city, Wilmington.
While President Coolidge asked a
number of questions regarding the
administration of Judge Sellers and
regarding Mrs. Ruth's work and ex-
perience, he was represented as not
having committed himself. Senator
Ball also has a candidate for insur-
ance commissioner of the District Of
Columbia, which place was made
vacant by the recent resignation of
Burt Miller. He will make the name
of his candidate known later.

EXPECT "GAS" TAX
TO EXCEED MILLION
Returns for First Week Indicate
Considerable More Revenue
Than Predicted.
TO SPEND FUND PROMPTLY
Collections to Go to Street Paving
Work at Once.

Results of the first week of opera
tion of the 2-cent tax on gasoline in
dicate that this tax will produce
more than s1,0oO,oO0, instead of the
100000 previously estimated, As
SCISSOR William p. Richards declared
today.
With two wholesale oil companies
still to be heard from, the assessor
already has collected S14,534.s9, rep
resenting the tax from May 90 to
June l. When the two outstanding
concerns have reported it is expected
the total for the first week will be
close to $4,000. For fifty-two weeks,
at this average, this would net an
00O
While officials of the assessors Of
nee realize that during the winter
months there will not be as much
gasoline sold as at this time of year,
they also say that the last week of
May does not represent a fair aver
age for the busy season.
Normal Sale Reduced.
In the first place, the assessors point
out that both individual motorists
and large concerns laid in advance
supplies of gasoline just before the
law became operative on May %,
thereby pulling down normal sales
during the first week of taxation.
In the second place, they observe
that spring motoring has been re-
strained by almost constant rain.
1t is Interesting to note that the
fourteen wholesalers who have made
their tax returns for the first week
report 726,744 gallons of gasoline
sold This figure will be augmented
when the two outStan anding companies
have been heard from.
VIII Spend Fund Promptly.
Beginning with June, the gasoline
tax payments will be made to the
assessor monthly. The first returns
covered only a week because the law
was only effective for one week of
May.
The motorist pays the tax to the
service station. the service station
pays the wholesaler and the latter
hands it over to the District.
This money goes into a special
fund for the paving of streets and
will be expended as rapidly as it is
collected The new District appro-
priation act lists the streets on which
it is to be spent. The first job
probably-will be the surfacing of the
Pennsylvania avenue bridge southeas t
with asphalt.

When the Tide Is Out.

The age-old question what be-

has led men of science to observe the
ocean currents from the Nantucket
Shoals light-vessel. which anchored

forty miles from land. and which,
riding to a long cable. Is free to
swing with current and wind. Twice
in a lunar day of twenty-four hours

its direction continually, so that In a
period OF twelve and a half hours II

Fashionable Complaint Is Laid to

LONDON, June 12.-One of the most

is dancers heart" according to ad-

craze for dancing at all hours and at
