Chamberlain to Mould POliCy,'
 Germany Is Opposed

London, March I UPp -- The British public still is asir over what is 10 be tho attitude Of Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British foreign secretary, with regard tu increasing the membership ot the council of the league Of nations after Germany Is elected a mem hor of the league, Tho interest Of Great Britain is acute because Of the fact that Germany is opposed 10 any further new members of the league aside from herself,
 Sir Austen is continuing 10 mnin- tain silence with regard 10 his pnr- poses when the league council meets ut Geneva, and also as to how far he may have committed himself to the French view on the admission or Poland. Spain and Brazil to permanent seats on inc council. The opinion prevails that f any understanding has been reached for the enlargement of the council Germany should have been appraised of the fact.
 Prior to next Friday when the council meets, it Is understood that Premier Baldwin will cndoavor to relieve the tension by a statement which will allay rumors that q cabinet crisis exists, but it is con- silcrcl doubtful if he will definite ly indicate the British policy. All other British cabinet meeting vii be held, probably Wednesday. be- fore final instructions arc given tC 1 the British delegation to Geneva.

Therefore the advance Of the tax from one to two cents q gallon effective during the latter half Of tho year was largely responsible for the increased rev cnuc, all of which, under the law, is turned over 10 the state highway department for improvement Of roads.
 Since 262,j54 motor vehicles were registered in the state in 1925, the gasoline consumption returns indi- cate that the average ca used 465 gallons in the year, or . .,to less than a gallon and a third day. II has been figured that the average car is propelled about l2 miles or one gallon Of gasoline. Thus the av- craze car in Connecticut traVeled about 5,jS0 miles last year or about l5 and a third miles day.
