we're on the whole as high as those
charged at inland points.
The average price at points along
the Atlantic seaboard on Feb 10
was 17.9 cents a gallon for straight
run gasoline and 81 cents for high
test. Average in the Mississippi
valley region was 16.5 cents for
straight run and 1875 cents for high
test. On the Pacific coast the av-
erage was 1871 cents for straight run
and 21.8 cents gallon for high test
gasoline.
One of the most striking features
of the A. A. A. survey is its dis
closure of the rapidity with which
prices change within small areas
where basic conditions such as
rentals, supply, and demand are the
same, says the A. A. A. statement.
The widest divergence in price was
9 cents in Colorado, where the price
of gasoline ranged from Is cents
gallon to "a cents for straight run
gasoline, and from 18 cents to 2.
cents gallon for high test.
West Virginia ranked next, with
variation of s cents, ranging from
IA cents gallon to i cents Tor
straight run gasoline, and from II
cents to "a cents a gallon for high
test gasoline.

IT PRICES FOR
CAS- ARE FOUND
ON TOUR OF U. S.
Cost Ranges From Il Cents
to 24.5 Cents a Gallon
for Straight Run.
Ia Times Special.

BU Times Special,
WASHINGTON, April 24,-Seven-
ty-seven different prices for gasoline
prevailed in the United States on
Feb. 10, 1929.
The price range was all the way
from IL cents a gallon to 24.5 cents
a gallon for straight run, and from
Is cents to 27.5 cents a gallon for
high test gasoline, exclusive of the
gas tax, which varies in almost
every state
These and other startling figures
on the divergence of gasoline prices
in the country were ascertained
through a simultaneous, nation
wide check-up by 1,065 motor clubs
affiliated with the American Auto
mobile Association and reported to
national headquarters here.
To set an accurate picture of the
gasoline price range on a given day,
identical forms we're sent to every
A. A. A. club throughout the coun-
try; the local clubs in turn checked
the prices in their respective areas
and returned the forms to Wash
ington
Lowest price on the date Of the
checkup was u cents for straight
run and IS cents for high test gas
oline at Muskogee, Okla, and the
highest was 245 for straight run
and 275 for high test at Wallace,
Idaho.
In the east north central states
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
and Wisconsin-gasoline prices
varied 1875 cents on both varieties OF
gas. the range in the straight run
being from 10 cents a gallon to 24.5
cents, and high test from Is cents to
27.5 cents a gallon.
AS in previous checkups, proXim-
ity to sources of supply appeared to
be a negligible factor in determining
current prices, says the A. A. A.,
since prices were in many instances
as high close to the oil fields as they
were at points re which a long haul
was necessary Prices at tidewater

Tail Lights
BY SWEDE SWANSON

A trip through any automobile fac
tory will readily reveal to the visitor
why manufacturers have been able
to produce better cars year by year
and yet sell them at continuously
decreasing prices. No matter what
the class of automobile, from the
cheapest to the most luxurious, GER
tain improvements have been insti-
tuted in the process of manufacture
that have combined to benefit the
motorist at less expense.
When a large plant like Hudson
Essex finds a way to dispense with
the necessity of keeping large stocks
OF material on hand for future pro-
duction, when it can regulate it's
assembly SO that there isn't mo-
ment'S waste Of time or effect, when
it can keep all Of it's parts moving
at nearly every period in the manu-
facture of its cars when finally it
can reduce the human element of

FORECAST AUTO
OUTPUT RECORD
April Expected to Set New
High Mark.

DETROIT, April 24-Observers
of the automobile industry who
have been analyzing production
figures of the motor car plants in
the Detroit area during. the first
three months Of this year are of
the opinion that output and sale of
cars for April will equal, if not eX-
coed. any previous month in the
history of the industry.
While some Of these experts be-
lieved that a number of factories
had overproduced in January and
February. recent sales results would
not seem to indicate that this is
true.
Reports are to the effect that pro-
duction for the first quarter of the
wear totaled 1,514,587. If this rate
we're maintained throughout the
wear it would mean an output in
excess Of 100000 vehicles.
But motor car production is never
steady for a tWelve-month period.
A figure of 100000 is possible and
even probable for 1923, however.

NEW STUTZ STOCK
is OFFERED AT $40

board, in Indianapolis, said the
money will be used as additional
working capital, made necessary by
the increased production Of the
new Stutz cars. The companys
production now is about double that
of last year.
According to the letter that Stutz
is mailing to stockholders, the total
number of no par shares outstand-
ing is 269 765. InaSmuch as there
are 100000 shares authorized, no
increase in stock will be necessary.
Funds to be received for the new
stock offering will be used to meet
the needs of the growing business
of the company, according to the
statement.
The proposed issue has been
underwritten at the same price at
which it is being offered to stock
holders and a total Of 26,976 shares
will be sold.

turned to the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York before 3 p. m.

error almost to minimum and yet
furnish a greater variety Of finer
cars than has ever been offered
the material benefit to the consumer
is obvious.
When, further, Chevrolet goes to
the trouble of building an entire
experimental plant to be sure of its
proper production of the new six
and then rebuilds its factories for
large volume production, the rea-
son why this company can afford
to offer "a SIX in the price range
of the four is more clearly under
stood
Thus We can also readily see how
Marmon can afford to put out its
new Roosevelt. a Straight-eight at
1895, and how practically every
other manufacturer can continue to
incorporate additional refinements
and Improvements in their products
without charging them up to the Ill
innate buye~,
Competition, to be sure, has much
to do with this, but even more so
is the part played by improvements
in the manufacturing process.
One reason why squirting pene-
trating oil over spring leaves fails
to silence a squeak for more than
a few days is because the oil has
nothing to cling to- Here is where
graphite plays an important role.

RADIO IS DOING QUITE WELL

During the hearing On the CouzenS bill for a federal
commission to control radio. telephones, telegraph and
cables, the senate committee on interstate commerce was
told by Louis G.. Caldwell, former chief counsel Of the
radio commission. that no monopoly exists IN radio
broadcasting in the United States but that there is a
trend III that direction.
In Its present state Of mind the radio public sees no
ac!.acc II sucf, a monopoly. Those listening in pay
nothing for what they hear and rather believe that a
broadcasting monopoly might tend to improve the pro-
grams. Nor would it be likely to result in more propa-
e~a.diz!ns and privately imposed censorship than now
exists.
Most citizens have come to fear private monopolies far
less than public monopolics such as the general COM
murications commission would prove to be. All COM
nunication systems arc now under government control,
50 lower rates could not be expected from the creation
OF a new commission.
Unless Senator Couzcns has forcsecn future develop
ments and complications which the man OH the street
has overlooked, creation OF another federal commission
seems a needless waste of public money and more
neddling with private enterprise, to Mr.. Caldwell, who
is convinced it is too carly for the establishment of such
a tribunal.

AIRpORTs SERVE PUBLIC PURPOSE
minneapolis Journal

lN4IlllCdDO4Lo Jul a
Establishment of municipal airports as a public pur-
pose has reached fairly common recognition in the
courts. It is a new question. but a number of test cases
have been passed upon, in several states. and the public
interest has been found to be served in these cases.
Statutes had to com before decisions. and legislative
bodies have commonly furthered such establishment, ex-
pressly authorizing expenditure Of public funds for con-
struction and maintenance Of airports. Thus the question
has been carried before the high courts of Ohio, Mary
land, Missouri, Kansas. and New York. among others
All have found in favor OF the new facility of tranSpOrta-
ton as it relates to the airport.
The New York court of appeals handed down the fol.
lowing opinion:
Aviation is today an established method Of trans
portation. The future, even the near future. will
make it still more general. The city that is without
the foresight to build the ports for the new traffic
may soon be left behind in the race Of competition.
CFlalccdon was called the city of the blind. because
its founders rejected the nobler site OF Byzantium
lying at their feet. The need for vision Of the future
in the governance Of cities has not lessened with the
years. The dwcller within the gates, even more than
the stranger from afar. will pay the price of blind
ness.
AS the courts say. the airplanes travel the trackless air
and the only way to monopoly Is through possession O
the airport. Its public utility, available to all, is there.

ADVERTISING AND PROGRESS

Advertising has proved itself to be the barometer Of
progress.
It has not been long since business advertising was as
severely criticised and ridiculed as Boosting of personal
qualifications. At the same time there was as little faith
in the claims Of advertisements as in the claims of the
braggart. Only the quack and the imposter, who had
everything to gain and nothing to lose, then resorted TO
advertising.
Business is ever the standard bearer and apostle of
progress, and SO it was business which discovered that
advertising was a vital factor in all growth. When adj
vertsing was admitted to the fircsidc of business it was
not the big business Of today. Big business traces its
beginnin. with its employment of advertising.
In its conversion to advertising business was soon fol-
lowed by industry, commerce and the professions. The
benefits OF advertising had made themselves manifest in
each step forward.
That was the evolution of advertising. until today adj
~vcrtisng plays 4 part in every phase of life and is the
working instrument of all except the doctor and the law
yer. who still consider 1t "unethical' to advertise for
business. He may place his card in the weekly news
paper, but 1t is professionally forbidden for the doctor or
III wyer to inform the public of his capabilities.
Nothing in life has attained perfection and evolution
IS p eternal, eyer-continuing advancement. The eyolu-
~ advertising will not stop with its adoption by ned
icine and Jurisprudence. but that adoption will ESTABLISH,
another milestone Of progress.
