''Union Non -Deto-
mating Gasoline''
With HighlyMultiplied Effect

Union Gasoline has always been las adver-
tised for years. 'non-detonating'' fuel.
"Ethyl" also is "non.detonating" agent
highly concentrated and with multiplied effect.
So the two in ombination-"U Union" and
"Ethyl'' Gas-n,ake the most remarkable i'm.
provement in motor fuel since motor cars
we're first invented.
In its manufacture Union.Ethyl Gasoline is
limited to 400 end-point by distillation test,
thus producing fuel that instantly vaporizes
completely in the carburetor and yields quicker
starting and acceleration.
No other so-caled "knockless" compound
produce Ethyl results.
The fuel you buy, therefore, must be genuine
Union-Eth,l if you want all that we offer here.
Get it today and try it. Learn what Union.

Questions of congressional, social
and constitutional precedence have
become involved in a heated contro-
versy going on between the House
ways and means committee and the
Senate finance committee. -.
1t all grew out of a dispute as to
whether Chairman Green of the

the Senate committee. shall head the
joint congressional committee on in
ternal revenue, created under the new
tax law to study the operation or
such acts with a view to the ultimate
remedying Of inequalities and inn
proper administration.
Members of the House committee
contend that Mr.. Green should head
the joint committee because under
the Constitution all revenue legisla-

The Senate committeeman, on the
other hand, hold that Senators gen
orally are accorded greater recogni-
