OIL COMPANIES
OFFICERS HAVE
POOR MEMORIES

NJ. j. Alexander's 5 $25, 900 damage
suit against the Shell Oil company
was expected to go to the jury, TINS
afternoon. The suit was to be con
tinued after hearing this morning
on another matter.
Gil company officials on the stand
in Alexander S suit against the Shell
company yesterday were afflicted
with rather poor memories.
John K. Hunter, branch manager
of the Richfield Oil company IN
1927, and Fred Ornett, district man
agcr Of the Hercules Oil company at
that time, gave testimony literally
intcrspersed with tine words, - do
not remember.
When asked if they had refused
to sell gasoline to Alexander when
ne was selling at cut rate prices, the
witnesses could not remember, nor
would their memories serve them
when asked ii they had engaged III
a talk with Alexander.
They stated that they did not
know what the attitude of their
companies would be toward selling
gas to cut rate dealer.
Tom Morrison, who represented
himself as dealer in bootleg gas
in 1929, was also called as 4 wit
ness. He testified that he had
brought in gasoline from Los An
gcles to sell at reduced prices.
Alexander is suing the Shell com
pany for breach of contract, alleg-
ing that they would not sell him gas
because he was selling below the
tandard retail price of 23e. The
case is expected to 90 to the jury

Answer: No.
Question: What is the proper Sc
qucnce of pages
Answer: When a note is longer
than one page the third page is Gus
tomarily used next as this leaves the
fourth page blank and prevents
the writing showing through the
envelope. Ii lined papers are used,
however, the fourth page is used
more often than the third
In still longer letters, one may
write pages in consecutive order, or
if preferred, first and fourth, and
then opening the sheet and turning

method also in good taste is 10
write ON the first page, then the
third, then sideways across the sec

CHICAGO, February 6.-While local
governments waited today for money
with nothing more definite than an
abiding hope, statiSticians computed
how badly the governments were lin
the red"
The statiSticians found that if the
city and county governments realize
their expectations of selling 1923, 940,-
600 worth of tax anticipation warrants,
they will increase the public floating
debt to $403,94O, 900, or $263,s49, 900
more than the estimated 1928 tax col
lections can pay.
Chicago school teachers had another
payless pay day today. Yesterday saw
the third pay day for county employees
pass without anything being done
about 1t.
In Terrible Shape.
Harry Newly, chairman of the county
boards finance committee, said:
We've got to have action soon or
we will be compelled to issue warrants
to the employees instead of cash. Some
OF them are in terrible shape"

taken not because of any shortage OF
funds. the board explained, but as

YEARS SUPPLY BILL
REPORTED IN HOUSE
$552,172,213 Provided for
28 Independent Branches
of Government.

ny the Associated Press.
Carrying SSH POS 900 for the Veterans
Bureau, the 1881 annual supply bill
providing $552.172, 2l3 for % independ-
ent Government offices and agencies
was reported today to the House by its
appropriations committee. The bill also
carries s1,00O,o0O for the Arlington
Memorial Bridge Commission.
The total is $141, 6s7 ,627 less than
the outlay for the current fiscal year.
It is sl.51l,S25 below the budget
estimates.
The reduction was brought about in
the appropriation for the Federal Farm
Board. The measure did not increase
the 150,000.000 farm loan revolving
fund created for the current year.
Actually, with this sum omitted the
committee explained there was an in
year.
In reporting the measure. the COM
mittee explained that officials of the
Farm Board were unable at this time
TO estimate how much of the $780, 00,-
600 previously authorized would be
required for 1881 farm relief work.
however, the board was allowed 81, 7O0,-
marketing expenses, or 5000, 600 less
than the budget estimate.
100000 for Hospitals.
The outlay for the Veterans Bureau
represented an increase of S11 $50 900
over the current appropriation It is
TO be taken up largely in compensation
to emergency naval and Army officers
improving hospital services, adding per-
sonnet and in settling insurance claims
Veterans hospitals are allowed $1,000
600 for construction or 100000 less
than for 1880.
The permanent appropriation of
$78,530,000, made automatically, also
was included for the Veterans Bureau.
President Hoover set an example of
economy. The outlay for the executive
ONCE was placed at $422,S20, reduc-
ton of $24,900.
Having reduced its deficit to Sc, 0OO,-
600. compared with S11 900 900 for last
year. the Shipping Board was allowed
$6,346000, a reduction of SIS, lab 900 and
the lowest amount requested since it
began functioning. However, unex-
pended sums of 100000 for research
and experiments and 100000 for coal
carrying ships TO aid the coal export
business, were reappropriated.
Radio Commission Given More.
The Federal Radio Commission was
given $450000. an increase of $285, $50
over the current year and $4,000 more
than the budget estimate. Broadening
of the powers of the commission and
the growing difficulty of controlling
radio facilities necessitate increased
personnel.
The American Battle Monuments
Commission, Of which Gen. John j.
Pershing Is chairman, was allowed
$1,000.000, bringing the total outlay for
monuments and cemetery chapelS in
Europe and England to more than
100000. A total of $4,5OO,000 has
been authorized for the work which
probably will be completed late in 1881
Other OUTLAWS included Federal Oil
Conservation Board, S17,220; Mount
Rushmore Memorial Commission, super
viSing the monuments in South Dakota,
was given 100000
The Porto Rican Hurricane Relief
Commission was allotted 81 900 900 and
for the INDECENT in Alaska, $4,000.
