CASE

WTHE recent r port OF the
J Treasury Department Of the
sum Of the federal gasoline tax
for August gives the first au-
thentic basis fer calculating the
m Owe m e mt Of motor vehicles
which has ever been issued, = says
the Texacs National Road Re.
porter.
"a total OF $8,g4z,857 was re-
ceived. As the tax is ! cent per
gallon, this shows that 894 1885,
TOO gallons Of gasoline were sold
during that month.
"An estimate Of ten miles per
gallon gives the enormous total
Of 8.944.857. 900 m lies for the
month. Undoubtedly, q portion
of the total was sold for use In
trucks. buses and larger cars
which do not get that gallon
mileage, but an equal part was
sold for use In the lighter.
smaller cars which average q
great deal more and this should
balance the figure used.
"QuiSe likely two-fifths Of the
mileage was by car owners
spending their vacations visiting
the various sections of the
United States distant from their
homes; and the minimum aver
age expense for two people -
over and above the cost Of gaso-
line and Oils around S cents
per mile.
This calculation results in
some 3.577.942.800 tourist miles
and the huge sum Of $178.897. 140
spread along the highways Of the
country In addition to the profits
Of the local filling stations and
section distribution plants which
would be at least twice the total
amount of the tax or. possibly,
. grand total Of sl96. 1868 for
o. !. month";
Nearly every section of the
United States profited by this
distribution Of cash. IF you feel
that your immediate locality did
not receive its share 1t might be
wen to make a careful examina-
tioa OF local conditions TO ascer-
tain whethe- so m e particular
condition sxists which Is dis
pleasing TO out of town or out
Of state motorists.
For they are good customers.
They may expect q lot-but the

STRAND


An unusual kind of a mystery
melodrama, under the title of co.
600 Witnesses" showing at the
Strand Theater tonight, will keep
the audience in breathless excite
ment from the moment Walter
Clark, star halfback for the state
eleven, dropped dead during SEN
Isational run in the State University
game, until, several reels later, his
murderer was found.
For Clark. of the story, whose
role is ably played by Johnny Mack
Brown, is found to have been muir
dered, although both the killer and
the manner of his death are un-
known. No shots are fired, his
body bears no marks of violence
and he had been in perfect physical
condition before the game. It
takes a re-enactment of the crime
re-creating the fatal game, play
by-playto bring about the solu-3
ton of the mystery.
The film has been most ably di-s
rected, for the action is unlag-I
ging and the suspense is sustained
until the final moment. The per-
formances, too, are of a high.
calibre, particularly the work of
Phillips Holmes as the teams quar-
terback, who is suspected of Clark's
murder; Dorothy Jordan as Clark,,s
sister; Charlie Ruggles as a GIN
drinking reporter; David Landau
as the detective in charge of the,
case; Kenneth Thonlstsn as the
team doctor; Lew Cody as the
gambler-brother of Holmes, and j.
Farrell Macdonald as the coach.
It's first-rate thriller, well
worth seeing!
