l. Arkansas imposes the highest
gas tax on motorists. Four cents on
every gallon.
2. A gasoline engine depends up
on its speed for its power, and it
must be turning over a certain num-
Der of revolutions-even without a
load-in order to actuate its valves
and raise compression to point
where the gas vapor drawn into the
cylinders will fire. A steam engine
works on an entirely different
principle, though it is a cylinder,
piston and valve combination too.
The steam engines power is entire
ly dependent upon the pressure of
the steam. Friction, condensation
and other matters tend to make it
labor when forced to pull load at a
creeping speed. but if there is suf-
ficient steam pressure it will not
stall.
3. The first practical electric self
starter appeared on a 1912 model.
The battery to operate it measured
10X10X20 inches and was fastened to
the running board SO that it would
be accessible for operating the

 WIFE ON STAND
Both Called Upon to Testiiy,'
 Plaintiff Branded as Vamp

London, March 19.--The Dowager Countess of Carnarvon, now the wife of Lieutenant Colonel Ian Onslow Dcnnistoun, underwent an ordeal on the witness stand today in the trial of the suit brought by the coloners former wife for money she avows that she had loaned him. Once while testifying Lady Carnavon nearly faintcd. but with the help Of smell ing salts she recovered and resumed ed her testimony.
 Lady Carnarvon said Sir John Cowans had been a friend of their family for twenty years. She aver red that when he was dying Mrs Dennistoun came to London but was 'very callous when told of the seri' ousness of his condition" The love relation which long existed between General Cowans and Mrs. Dennistoun has figured largely in the trial, the plaintiff charging it had been encouraged by Colonel Dennistoun to further his ambitions
 Asked if Mrs. Dcnnistoun had a fascinating personality, Lady Car. narvon replied emphatically:
 She is attractive to the last de gree. Nobody can resist her charms when she wants to show them al their best. There never was any 1 one who entered our home who wa' not captivated by her. They were all her slaves"
 Mrs. Dcnistoun's own description of her husband, Lady Carnarvor said, was:
 An awfully sweet man, yer! kind; a great gentleman, but an ab solute 'washout'."
 Husband QuizHcd Dennistoun, who hobblcd into court yesterday with the aid of { stick to testify, was subjected to sruelling cross-examination by Si Ellis Hume-W Williams on what wa termed his apparent complaisanc' in Mrs. Dennistun's identity witt Sir John Cowans.
 With his former wife facing hin from the other side of the solicitors table, Dennistoun often winced a the searching questions put 10 him and once the divorced wife burs into tears.
 When questioned about his atti tude toward his wife, he said;

"I was prepared to tell any lie, so long as no one knew the truth" was another of Colonel Dennistoun's replies to the plaintiffs attorney, Asked if 1t was not gossip through out Paris that his wife was living with Cowans and that he was profit ing through this relationship, Dem nistoun replied in the affirmative, He said he charged his former wife with improper relations with seven diff ferent men.
 It was true, Donnistoun declared, that he had written Mrs. Dennistoun affectlonate letters, because he still loved her,
 The increasing bitterness with which the case is being fought was noticeable during the continuation of cross examination of the de- fendant today, and there were Q number of heated exchanges be- tween Lieutenant Colonel Dennis tOun anu DIT I4llls ilulllN- "
 Once Justice McArdie stopped the questioning to reprove the counsel i for the frequent use of the word nonsense" as characterizing an- swers. He also reminded Sir Ellis that Dcnnistoun was i'll.
 Dennist oun asserted that the in- troduction Of money matters into the case was pure invention on the part of his former wife not only to show up me but 10 show up my wife, the Dowager Countess Carnar- von.'
 Denies Any Loans
 Sir Ellis persisted in attempts to get the witness to admit that he had borrowed various sums of money from his former wife after the di- vorce, but Colonel Dennistoun while admitting he had received sums oi money from her, declared she sen, them "out of generosity on hel part" and not as loans.
 Sir Ellis asked if the Countess oi Carnarvon had given Colonel Dcn' nistoun t1oo,O0O upon their mar riage to "prcservc your dignity, the witness replied "Ycs sir" Sir Ellis flashed back, do you think tha after you had accepted f20,ooO an( flat from another mans wife vol had much dignity to preserve?"
