HUGE AMOUNT OF
GASOLINE BOUGHT
BY AIRWAYS CO.

What is believed to be the largest
purchase Of gasoline by any avia-
tion concern in the United States
has just been completed by the
southern division of American Air
ways in contracting for its gasoline
requirement for the following year,
according to Charles M. Sproule,
local representative.
Three and one half million GAL
Ions were purchased from six oil
companies and scattered over the
division from Los Angeles to Nash
vile and Atlanta. The fuel will
be delivered at the principal term
inals and intermediate gas stations
along the nine divisional routes in
tank car lots.
indicative of the growth of AM
erican Airways in both new routes
and services is the fact that only
100000 gallons were purchased for
the last year. The SO planes of
the southern division are now fly
ing more than half a million
miles every month and supplying
"a of the principal cities in 10
southern and southwestern states
with air mail and passenger service.
The addition of the night service
from Texas to the Pacific coast
and the new passenger line from
Houston to Atlanta are responsible
for a large part of the increased
purchase.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND SUSIE'S
STOCKINGS

Uncle Wiggily was hopping one
day past the house where Sammie
and Susie Littletail lived. Once
upon a time, before he had no little
bunnieS of his own, Uncle Wiggily
had lived with Sammie and Susie
and they had jolly times together.
Mr.. Longears was very fond of
Sammie and Susie and of course
they loved him.
81 haven't seen Sammie and
Susie for some time,7 thought Uncle
Wiggily as he hoped past the Lit
tletail house. II wonder where they
are? Perhaps they have gone away
for the summer vacation" @
But just then Susie hoped out
of her house and as soon as she
saw Mr.. Longears she joyfully
cried.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily It makes
me happy to see you again!"
"And I am happy to see you,
Susie" replied the old rabbit gem

Susie answered. But I'm all
through now, and, if you want me
to, I can come adventuring with
you"
Come along" invited Uncle
Wiggily with laugh. THAT is if
your mother will let you"
II think she will" said Susie.
But I'll ask her to make sure. .
She called to her mother who came
TO the door and when she heard
that Uncle Wiggily was going to
take Susie with him on an ad-
venture trip the rabbit lady said
We'll, 1 hope you will not be
sorry for it, Uncle Wiggily," and
she spoke in rather a mysterious
voice. II surely hope you will noi
be sorry for taking Susie"
Why should l be sorry for tax

Longears.

But why can't you tell me?"
asked Mr.. .Longears.
Il would rather you found it out

lady as Susie came back. ut may

"Oh, all right" whispered Uncle
Wiggily. Then he and Susie began
to hop over the fields and through
the woods.
They had not gone far before
Susie stopped and called:
Wait a second. please, Uncle
Wiggily!"
Whats the matter?" asked the
bunny gentleman. do you see an
adventure or some of the Bad
Chaps?"
Neither one" said Susie with a
laugh, but one of my stockings is
slipping down and L want to pull
it up" So Uncle Wiggily kindly
waited while Susie pulled up the
stocking on her left leg.
Then she and MIR. Longears
hoped on a little farther and, all
of a quickness, Susie called again:
please wait a second, Uncle
Wiggily."
Whats the matter now?" he
asked
MY other stocking is coming
down." Susie said. "Ha! Hal'
Uncle Wiggily waited until she
had pulled it up and then the two
rabbits hoped on little farther.
Mr.. Longears saw a bush waving
just ahead OF him and he called
Hurry, Susie! L think we may
find an adventure there!"
Susie began to run, but, in a
moment she called:
please wait, Uncle Wiggily! My
first stocking is slipping down
again. I've got to pull it up.
Hal Hal
So Uncle Wiggily waited but by
the time Susie had pulled UP her
slipping stocking the adventure,
whatever it was, had jumped OUT
Of the bush and disappeared.
why don't you wear garters SC
your stockings won't come down
Susie, my dear?' asked Uncle Wig
gily.
II forgot them," answered the
little rabbit girl as she hoped
along beside her uncle. And then
another stocking slipped down and
Mr.. Longesrs said:

THE SUBMARINE


WHILE the European powers are dis
W cussing disarmament, including the
abolition of the submarine SO French
men lie at the bottom of the ocean, mar
tyrs to the race for naval supremacy
which makes the submarine one of the
most desirable of arms in the opinion
of many nations.
The disaster which overlook the Prom
ethee is not the first submarine disaster,
nor will it be the last Naval men of all
nations have paid the price of their coun-
tries lnslstence upon the submersible bat
tleship.
1t is perhaps futile to hope that the
snuffing out of these 63 lives will have
any effect In inducing nations to aban-
don the submarine. The world was Civ
en- many examples of its frightfulness
during the World war, but it failed to
stop construction of this type of ship.
On the contrary, it seemed to stimulate
the desire to have more and larger sub
marines.
The awfulness of the French tragedy
is SO remote as far as we are concerned,
that it may be difficult to visualize Just
how tragic it is. But we can consider what
our feelings would be if 63 American
sailors went to the bottom of the ocean
without the slightest chance to save their
lives.
Loss of these 63 French lives brings
sorrow, not only to their immediate rel
atives and friends, but to the entire
world. At best service on a submarine
is extremely hazardous. In time of
danger the odds against the men aboard
are too heavy to give them much chance
of being saved
That nations ask their citizens to serve
on such craft is to be regretted. 1t may
be that international discussion will
eventually lead up to restriction or abol-
ishment of the submarine, but it appears
to be almost too great goal for which
to hope
What France grieves over now, has
also been our lot in the past, and while
we as a nation share her sorrow, we
trust that the next call of the submarine
fiend will not demand Yankee sailors as
its victims.
Instead of the bonus, Mr.. Hoover is
willing to give the veterans 'go-nus'.

now abandoned.
Designers of coins usually are
permitted to put their initials on
them inconspicuously.
The George Washington quarter
will have an e. on it for John
Flanagan, its designer. Flanni-
gan also designed the magnificent
bronze clock which adorns the read
ing room of the library of congress
and the Verdun medal presented to
France.
The silver dollar also has an IF
but in that case it stands for the
designer Francisco. The current
quarter dollar has an m" for its
designer Herman MacNeil. The
half dollar has a W. for Adolph
Weinman.
1t takes a magnifying glass to
bring out the "F'' of James E.

Shortly after the Lincoln penny
came out, youngsters valued those
with the initials V. D. B., standing
for Victor D. Brenner. Because OF
widespread protests, they had been
stricken off the coin after 27,000,-

conspicuously placed just to the left

come out, but the director OF the

The new quarter, not issued as a

erouS facts about small change
which are frequently overlooked.
Few knew that "E Pluribus Un-
um," United States of America, :"

appear on all silver coins because
the law requires it. The same is
true of the eagles figure.
Careful search will reveal that
many coins bear a small letter IS"
or ID" somewhere on their faces.
They indicate the coin was struck
at the San Francisco or Denver
mints. Those struck at Philadel-
phia, the largest mint in the coun-
try, bear no Distinguishing initial.

ARE YOU REGISTERED?

ONCE again it becomes a duty to write
" about registration of voters. prompted
by the knowledge that the time limit on
registering for the August primary is
fast approaching, and that many 1mper-

to take care of this important matter
The primary election is on August 80
and registrations for it will close on July
21, giving approximately two more weeks
for citizens to register so that they may
be able to vote in the primary.
Citizens of California adopted the
primary system of electing officers. re-

gives them their opportunity to decide
which of their party's candidates shall
become the nominee in the general cleo
tion next November.
For this reason every citizen, no mat

should see that he is not disenfranchised
because he has neglected to register
If a voter has not registered since
January /, he must register between now
and July 21 in order to be eligible for
the primary. Once registered it is not
necessary to register again, unless the
citizen fails to vote at general election
or primary. If this happens the regis
tration is voided.
Citizens can be registered any day at
the county clerks office or at most city
halls in the various cities of the valley,
and it is customary to have registration
deputies in various public places just
prior to the end of the registration per-
iod.
Registration for the November cleo
tion will close on September 90
Persons who have registered since the
first of the year, but who have changed
their place of residence since then, must
