tor fuel and announced that it
would be sold at the price of regu-
lar gasoline. Right away" con-
tinued Mr.. Weir, ''these pessimists
started saying that we would eth
er have to reduce the high quality
Of Blue Sunoco or raise it's price,
that that it was utterly impossible
for us to continue making such a
high grade gasoline and sell it at
regular gas price. Believe me" !"
concluded Mr.. Weir, "it certainly
amuses me to see the way the pes
simists look the other way when
they pass me today. For we've
not only kept Blue Sunoco at the
price of regular gasoline we
have actually improved its quail
ties. Today it has higher
knockless rating, starts quicker,
possesses even more power and
goes further, than when first intro
duced and it is still pure, undop-
ed gasoline and still sells at regu-
lar gas price. They said it couldn't
be done-but we did it."

protesting horns, not only adds to
the danger of the road, but is do
ing anything than insuring the
protection of himself or any pas
sengers in his car. Slow-moving
cars that block scores of cars be-
hind them merely compel the trap
ped motorists to take extra chanc-
es and create unnecessary highway
hazards. The result is the motor
list cutting around the crawling
car often is compelled to cut back
to his own side of the road at too
sharp an angle-and then the
crash follows. Mr.. Hopes further
states that the slow drivers car
is often damaged by the car racing
around it. At times the damage
is confined to battered tenders, but
there is the possibility of the car
being overturned resulting in ser
ious injury to the occupants. The
peculiar thing is that in the cities,
where ordinances and police COM
missioners hold the speed limit to
low pace, practically every car
owner devotes portion of his
time to voicing an indignant pro-
test. Yet, on the county roads,
where state laws permit a safe
speed of 35 miles an hour, hun
dreds of motorists refuse to pro-
ceed at a speed as fast as is per
mitted in the cities.

for permanent improvements. This
excess in revenue, says the Depart
ment of Commerce, is reflected in
reduction of debt, and in purchase
of investments and increased cash
balances. Delaware's total funded
or fixed debt outstanding June 80,
1928, was $11, ,406,285, of which
amount $10,53O,OOO was for high
ways. The assessed valuation of
property in Delaware subject to ad
valorem taxation was $265 ,582, $50
for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1928; the amount of State taxes
levied was $398,374, and tie per
capita levy was S1.64. In 1927 the
per capita levy was S16O. Penn
sylvania has no levy of the gener
al property tax for the State pur-
poses.

in Pennsylvania in the same year,
according to report issued by the
Department of Commerce. Con-
sequently, the report reveals, the
average citizen of Delaware pays
twice as much taxes to the State
as the average Pennsylvania does
to his. Payments for operation
and maintenance of the general de-
partment of Delaware for the fis-
cal year ended May 81, 1928,
amounted to S4,836,O35 or $19.86
per capita. The per capita figure
in Pennsylvania was $9.57. Total
revenue receipts in Delaware in the
same period were S8,968,467 or
S36.91 per capita, while the per
capita figure in Pennsylvania was
$15.12. In 1927 the per capita net
debt in Delaware was 1854 while
in Pennsylvania it was 1886, ac-
cording to the Department of
Commerce. The departments re-
port reveals also that the interest
on Delaware's debt in 1928
amounted to $474 ,073 and outlays
for permanent improvements, ST.
55S, ,123. At that rate Delaware
collected in revenues $3,668, 8,359,
more than the total payments of
the year, exclusive of the pay
ments for permanent improve
ments, and S1,11O,236 more than
the total payments, including those

HAVANA, August 28--.Joseph IT,.
Barlow. American resident Of Havana
who has claims totaling 100000
against the Cuban government, was
lodged today in cell in Principe
Fortress, the charges against him still
TO be made known.
Two operatives of judicial police
headquarters took him into custody be-
fore pm. yesterday. After being qnes-
toned for two hours at police head
quarters. he was taken to the fortress
and held without bond Under Cuba \
law he may be given hearing at any
time within u hours.
When Barlow. who is 81, ret,rned
here from the United States. July %,
it was said he would be deported. Am
baSsador Ferrara, at Washington. rec
commended that action TO his govern
ment, alleging insanity.
Contends Arrest Is Illegal
Barlow. prior to being taken 10 Prin-
cipe Fortress, contended that his arrest
was illegal and that the Cuban govern
ment had no ground for any criminal
charges against him. He added. Even
il bail had been offered l could not
have taken advantage Of it. for I have
verv little money" He was once one
OF Cuba richest men.
Mrs. Barlow busted herself sending
