 " Offers Valuable Suggestion . MT. Baker said he now felt like a member of the organization and was very glad. to once more be a guest. He offered the valuable suggestion of cooperating with the civic body in the matter of attending to the placing of folders in the ships rack prior to the steamers arrival at Seward. For the tourist and stranger the information to be gleaned from Seward folders would be quite valuable. He does this for Ketchikan and he is quite certain it has reflected considerable to Ket- chikans credit. The tourist travel this year will be far greater than last sea- son, he pointed out, and in connection with the Admiral Line, the people brought to Seward would probably re- main here for at least two days be- fore proceeding to the Interior. Most of the schedules already booked thus far are for the round trip to Fair banks.
 MT. Nelson said he gave what he considered neat little speech at the last luncheon he attended so would pass up the opportunity this time, but promised to have ono in roadinocc Tho next time he is visitor.

lows for spare tires, bumpers, interest,
brokerage charge, and the like.
The gasoline cost estimate is based
ON the State Oil Inspectors reports
on shipments into the state, with "a
cents as the average retail price. The
estimates on upkeep are taken from
statistics collected by the National
Automobile Chamber Of Commerce,
which give the average expenditure
per car in 1925 at $34 for tires, $33
for repair parts, $45 for service labor,
and $13 for insurance. In making the
1926 estimate, the tire bill is figured
at $50, making the. total per car $121
for these items. The tire bill alone
was $S4 in 1919, but good roads, lower
prices and better tires have combined
to reduce this item. The low estimate
on insurance allows for the fact that
many owners are uninsured.
These estimates show that the Ii
cense and gas taxes total less than
5 per cent of the annual motoring bill,
and the total road bill, including state
aid, county and town levies is about
10 percent of the money spent for
motor transport, C. M. Babcock,
commissioner of highways, states.
whether a town or a county is
spending too much or too little for
the roads which carry the local traf-
fic, is a matter for each community
to decide, but no one can plead that
the license or gas tax is hardship.
These taxes are a very small part OF
the cost of operating a car, and the
individual who wishes, can cut his
motoring bill by driving less or using
a smaller car. Collectively motorists
can reduce their annual bill by put
ting more money into better roads.
1t will come back fourfold in reduced
repair, gasoline, and tire costs"

Girls Now Give Boys
ENGAGEMENT Rings

Atlanta, Ga.-Coming back into
popularity after being discarded for
many years, is the custom of girls
giving engagement rings as well as
the boys, according to Atlanta jew
elers. Both rings must bear the ini-
tials of the contracting parties and
the date of the engagement. The
ring, however, does not have to be a
diamond unless the birth date of the
man comes in April. The up-to-date
fad is an engagement ring containing
the birthstone or the stone for the
month of the wedding.
Stones representing various months
are as follows: January, Garnet
Power; February, Amethyst-Con-
tentment; March, Bloodstone-Cour-
age; April, Diamond-Purity; May,
Emerald-Happiness; June, Moon
