FEAR TAX MAY CUT
USE OF GASOLINE
Oil Men Say 100000, 1000
viii Be Collected This Year
in Various States.
BY J. {. ROlLE.

Special Dispatch To The star.
>.EW YORK. january 2S.-The sales
tax on gasoline will yield approx
nately $500. 100000 in 1926. That is
the conclusion StatiStiCianS of the
petroleum industry reached today
after close inspection of the $50 re.
turns and the present sales trends.
The tax yielded approximately $50
600 900 in 1924. when only 10 States
collected il and $50, 0o0. 900 in 1928,
AT present there are 4 States where
such taxes are law.
While the taxes on gasoline are
State taxes their volume had an APP
preciable effect on the interest with
which oil men watched congressional
progress on the tax bill today.
1t is true that the gas taxes are PAID
by the consumer, but the men aSSocl-
ated with the petroleum industry fear
the tax MAY have q distinct effect on
consumption. and thu main thing now
the matter with the oil business is the
excess of gasoline stocks and produc-
ton. Gasoline production has in
creased over POO per cent since the
war. according to officials of III" Amer
lean Petroleum Institute. 1t is expect
ed to show Still greater increase this
year. if not checked.

much discovery in the immediate fu-
ture, although a big gusher has just
been brought in in deep formal ton al
most at Wichita S back door. Barring
the discovery of more such fields theE
anticipate higher crude oil prices later
this Spring.
They base this prediction on present
Indications in the automobile industry.
Orders received from dealers by manu-
faCturerS and those in prospect in
dictate that automobile manufacturers
will do the biggest first quarter bust
ness in their history. All the big
producers. except Ford. are inCrea sing
production. Truck and bus manu-
faCturers are expected TO do even bet
ter than the makers Of passenger cars.
Larger Exports Expected.
The export Of petroleum products.
especially gasoline. is expected I"
grow rapidly this year and thereafter.
Ford has just shipped 10000 tractors
to Russia. Recent arrivals from China
say that inhabitants Of that country
are becoming motor mad and that the
chief ambition Of any RISING Chinese
is To own q car.
While no flush fields have been un-
covered recently. oil is being produced
now from wells which hitherto had
been regarded as impossible of re-
covery. In California crude is hcin@
pumped from nearly mile below the
surface. an achievement developed
within The last two years. Deeper

WHITE HOUSE
MUSICALE
CANCELLED
Mrs. Coolidge Recalls In
vitations for Recital
Today
By JEAN ELIOT

FOLLOWING the receipt Of dis
IL quieting news from the Prest.
dents father, Mrs. Coolidge recalled
this morning the 400 invitations
she had issued for q musicale at
the White House this afternoon.
President and Mrs. Coolidge have,
of course. been acutely anxious
about Colonel Coolidge for several
weeks. But the fact that the little
Vermont farm where Colonel Cool
idge has been lying Ill has been
gmothered in a blanket Of snow and
that there is no accommodation
for the retinue without which no
President Of the United States may
travel. has prevented the Chief
Executive from being at his faith.
er's bedside throughout his illness.
And the Coofidges believe In carry
ing on despite private griefs. So
for several trying weeks things have
been as usual at the White House,
from all surface indications.
President and Mrs. Coolidge even
took a small party OF guests for
an over Sunday cruise aboard the
Mayflower during the lest week,
keeping In touch by radio with the
White House, which was In con-
slant telephone communication
with the sick room at Plymouth, VT.
The shadow Of Illness and mourn
ing has lowered over the White
House persistently IN the last few
years. President Wilson's long in
ness Is now history. Mrs. Hard
ing's serious illness came all too
soon after the beginning of the
Harding administration, which
closed with President Harding's
tragic death. A long period OF Of
ficial mourning followed and shortly
after the nation emerged came Of
fetal mourning for former Presi-
dent Wilson. Then not very long
after they came to the White House
the President and Mrs. Coolidge
lost their son, Calvin Coolidge, jr.
And, although they went through
with the state functions at the
White House the following winter,
AZ being official in their signifi.
canoe. they withdrew from all social
activity.

WALT JOHNSON
FOLLOWS HIS
EARLY STYLE
Veteran Washington Mounds
mans Style Of Delivery
Has Changed Little

NV York July H. R in his
twentieth year as Nashing.on
moundsman, Walter Johnson still
pitches with little apparent effort
and is regarded BY many fans rs the
most graceful hurlcr in the big
leagues.
The veterans style IL winduL and
delivery has not changed since lac be-
gan his career. But passing years
have taken their toll from his great
speed and endurance.
Declines To Stay Buried"
There was a time when his fast ball
shot by the plate at such a clip
timers tell the story of how Johnson
once pitched three games in MS many
days, winning each by Il. shut-out.
Sport writer's repeatedly have BUR-
led him, especially in 1920. 1921, 1892
and 1928, when he suffered a rcvcr-
sal in form. But the "Old Mas ser"
came back in 1924 to win twenty
three games to seven defeats. only
again to read his retirement was near
when he lost two out Of his three
games in the world series.
Last year, Johnson won twenty and
lost seven games. This year finds
him doing mound duty in good form.
Delivery Not Fanciful
Johnson warns up slowly and east
~. The first ten or fifteen minutes
he stands about ten feet within the
regulation distance between the box
and plate. Then he steps back and
begins shooting them across more in
earnest.
In the box, there is nothing fanci-
full about his delivery. His right
arm makes circle swing. the ball
touching the glove high over his head.
then it shoots downward and far to
the back, coming around in full.
quick sweep at the waist as the
wrist snaps out the ball.
As the swing is starting backward,
the big Train" lifts his left foot
slightly and his body sways little
in the same direction and then comes
forward with the sweep. One scarce
ly has time to realize the ball has
left his hand before it reaches the
plate.
Changes When Men On Bases
W uVh thSU at VII tuC DdStS, liz
naturally discards his brief windup.
he lifts his arms above the head.
the ball barely touching the glove.
a quick glance ut the runners, his
arms give a jerk upward and come
down to the waist, where the ball
momentarily is hidden in the glove.
Then begins the ewing far to the
back before sweeping to the front.
Johnson always has been noted for
his GOODNESS under fire and those who
have followed him say he is even
more SO now. He watches the field
crs carefully and when in a particu-
larry tight place sometimes stops to
motion Il player to another position.
His only indication Of tension is pat
ting anu scraping the mound with his
feet.
Years ago he formed a habit Of
making his lunch off ice cream on his
pitching days. He still does.
