White linen has crispness

Necklaces Necessary to
Add the Finishing Touch

More time, energy and material
is spent in creating new kinds of
necklaces than in any other field
of adOrnment for women. That
seems doubtful at first, but orig
inality in beaddom is well nigh i'm
possible.
1t is a fOregone conclusion that
women nowadays feel that some
thing is very lacking if they do not
wear necklace to complete the eff
feet of dress, whether it is a
sports ensemble. tea gown or eve
ming outfit.

Farm Bureau Leader Strong
for the Federal Farm Board

Quincy, Ill, June 8 = Sam H.
Thompson, farm bureau leader and
for two months a member of the
federal farm board, pleaded last
night with his own neighbors to
avail themselves of the advantages
he said could be derived from gov
eminent sponsorship in cooperative
marketing.
II suggest that when you farm
ers," he said, "hear attacks on CO.
operative marketing, the farm
board and the agricultural market
ing act that you do a little investi-
eating and find out the motives.
This opposition comes mostly from
handlers of farm produce who fear
their business will be injured if
these products are marketed by the
producers in their own interest.
Pay no attention to talk of govern
ment in business, artificial price
fixing, and setting aside the law of
supply and demand. The facts are
the farmers are going into the
business of marketing their own
products, and not the government.

Gas Taxes Appear to Boost
Consumption Of Gasoline
Motorists Sign Petitions to Stop
Higher Levies, but Consume
More Fuel in Cars

That there is considerable OPPOSE
ton among motorists to gas tax
increases, is indicated in progress
in several states to set aside,
through refendum petitions and
elections, laws recently adopted by
several legislatures increasing the
gas tax. But the opposition so far
has not reached the point where
many motorists have quit using
gas to avoid paying the tax.
An analysis of gas consumption
and motor vehicle registration in
the various states in 1880 indicates
that the higher the tax, the more
gas was used, says a Minnesota
bulletin.
There We're three states which
had 6 cent gas tax in effect in
1880. Using the registra-
ton of cars and trucks in these
states, and the gasoline consump-
ton, as reported by the U. S. Bur-
eau of Public Roads, it is found
that the average vehicle in those
states used GAP gallons per car.
Ten states had a cent tax in
1880. Using the same method, and
dividing the total consumption by
the total number of cars and
trucks in those states the average
consumption of gas per car is
found to be 564 gallons. The aver
age for the entire United States
was $50 gallons per vehicle, with
the average tax under four cents.
Furthermore, the consumption
of gasoline has increased steadily
since gas taxes began to go into eff
feet. In 1925, when only a few
states had gas taxes, the average
consumption for the United States
was only 452 gallons per vehicle.
With very few exceptionsS gas tax
es go into the highway funds and
build better roads. The better roads
the more use people make of their
cars. Good roads also attract
tourists. At any rate, gas taxes
haven't stopped anyone from driv-
ing, nor have they kept tourists
away from any state.
