What Motorists Face.

According to the American Petroleum
Institute, an analysis Of the tax sec
ton Of the so-called industrial recovery
bill providing for an additional Federal
gasoline tax of q cent per gallon re-
Veals that:
BY Congress own estimates motor
lists would pay AZ per cent of the entire
cost of the bill, or $92, 900, 900 annually.
Only IL per cent-or 100000, 900
of the $500, ,00O,000 planned appro-
priations would be used for highways.
A tax of is cent would be sufficient
to finance road appropriations. In IS
years, the amortization period, the Fed
eral Government would take 1880 ,OOO,-
coo from motorists.
Citizens of virtually every State would
pay gasoline tax revenues far exceeding
their States share Of the road appro-
priations.
Based upon 1882 net gasoline gallon
age taxed by the States, and which is
smaller, because of exemptions, than
the gallonage taxed by the Federal Gov
ernment, this tax would cost consumers
S106, ,876, 800 yearly instead Of the esti-
mated $92,000000. This is more than
so per cent of the entire cost.
On the same basis, in Is years mo-
torists would pay 81 SOB, ,144 500 instead
of the estimated S1,380,000,000.
Farmers consume rs per cent of all
motor fuel and in paying one-fourth
of the tax bill would be financing all
roads built under the industrial re-
covery bill.
Total Federal gasoline taxes of IL
cents per gallon-the present l cent
Federal tax being continued-would
amount annually to $249, ,378, 900. Since
4n%n 1ip1n y1n
100000, the national gasoline tax bill
would exceed S750,000,000 annually.
The weighted average of State and
Federal gasoline taxes, including this ad-
ditional levy, would be 5.3 cents Per
gallon This represents sales tax Of
4818 per cent upon the average retail
price of gasoline, IL cents, and of 1925

Advantages Of an Auto.

In an effort to stimulate local buy
ing. R. j. Murphy, manager OF the
washington Automotive Trade ASso-
ciation,. sends out the following:
"The relationship of the automobile
to human life has afforded psychologists
and social analysts an almost limltleSs
field in which to study and record the
application, of a mechanical device TO
human affairs. Out of quarter
century of automobile ownership and
use it has become unmistakably estab-
lished that when one buys an auto
mobile he very definitely adds to the
measure of his life, not merely in length
of life, but in scope of life. AS the de-
sire to live is the primary urge OF all
mankind, the desire to live more COM
pIetely naturally follows as a great
motivating principle. 1nasmuch as lie
itself consists of activities, contacts and
associations, the means by which one
can increase them Is In way as valu-
able as the privilege of living itself.
Time and distance have always been
the great barriers to life. Life which
Is confined to a small area or to one
place soon becomes mere existence.
There is not much difference between
one day and another when one must
spend his time in one place only. The
ability to get around and go places
easily and quickly provides for lie the
same advantages that several shops
rather than one shop, provide for the
shopper. Until the automobile came, few
people got a glimpse into more than
few of the shop windows of life. They
were compelled to shop for romance,
occupation, pleasure, education, senti-
ment in the same place a whole life
long. The variety for selection was
very limited. But when one owns a
car, miles mean nothing, and even time
is a minor consideration. By merely
buying an automobile one is enabled
to live more in week than he is
otherwise enabled to live in a year or
a period of years Deep students OF
such things find these reasons for the
universal desire to own and drive an
automobile And they find that these
reasons justify any sacrifice necessary
to provide new car for family or
Individual"

Army.

The appointment last week Of two
chiefs of branches in the War Depart
ment. Mai. Gen. Edward Croft as chief
of Infantry and Maj. Gen. Claude E.
Brigham as chief of Chemical Warfare
Service, leaves two War Department
chiefships to be filled during the 1888
calendar year. The other two high
Army commands that will become va
cant at the War Department within the
of engineers and the chief OF Army
chaplains.
Maj. Gen. Lytle Brown, now serving
as chief of engineers, was appointed to
that Office on August 8, 1929, and Col.
Julian E. Yates, chief Of Army chap
lains was appointed as head Of that
service on December %, 1929. Both
being four-year terms of Office the en-
gineer appointment will be made in
August while that of the chaplain Of
flee will not be made until later in the
year.
Nineteen colonies in the Corps Of
Engineers are eligible for selection as
the next chief of this arm, for in view
of the non-reappointmen policy gov
erning War Department chiefshipS, it
Is not expected that neither Gen. Brown
nor Col. Yates will be rendered a re-
appointment. Two Of this number may
be eliminated from consideration in
this capacity, the first, Brig. Gen.
George B. Pillsbury, who holds that
temporary rank in view of the fact that
he is assistant to the chief of en-
gineers, while the second Is Harley B.
Ferguson, who is detailed as president
of the Mississippi River Commission
with the rank of brigadier general. The
remaining II colonies eligible for selec-
ton as the successor of Gen. Brown
include: william B. Ladue, William j.

but the idea didn't work With a Jazz
band IN her ears she failed to hear the
WmStle OF police officer He arrested
her for disregarding his order to stop.
She was quite surprised when I told
her that she didn't make a mistake by
haVlng the carbon cleaned out after the
car mad gone only 1000 miles. Every one
had told her the opposite. The truth is
the motor of her particular make of
car Is broken in on a block by means of
gas not made from gasoline. Consider
able carbon forms. Removal is not only
desirable but necessary. Certainly it
pays to know your car.
Automobile dealers, of course, cannot
make 1t a practice to purchase used
cars uless there is the sale of a new car
involved. If you are trying to dispose
OF car for friend or relative who
needs cash one way to do 1t is to con-
sloer the idea Of trading in your pres
ent car, and your friends, in part pay
ment OF new car for yourself. This
plan has worked out we'll in a number
OF cases. 1t is definitely in line with
the policy Of making money circulate
faster. The sale of the new car alone
puts many men to work who, in turn.
become prospects for the used cars taken
in trade.
What to do when the motor knocks
on a NIL Is something women who are
Trying TO squeeze additional miles out
OF their present cars will need to know,
especially during the Summer. The
knocking may be due to excessive car
Don, poor gas, overheating or too ad-
vanced timing. Probably the wisest
course Is to lift off a little on the gas,
since crowding the motor will often
cause 1t to knock. If this doesn't help,
then retard the spark a little, mean
Wnlle increasing the amount of gas be-
ing fed. Be careful not to retard the
spark so as to kill power. Just get
1t below the knocking point.
II the motor temperature gauge shows
danger, better drop into second gear
II the NIL Is not too long. With much
| additional upgrade mileage ahead. bet
ter stop and shut off the motor a while
In fact, If were in this predicament
with the motor knocking and overheat-
ing, would turn around and go down
hill on compression with the ignition
off. I would stop at the bottom, lift
the hood and look for broken fan belt
and check my oil supply. The motor
| would be much cooler as result of the
return down the hill.
Another cheer for the woman who
decided upon a newer course of action
when she took her car to the service
station for repairs. She was sure there
was something askew with the geai
shift, but whether this involved tbs
transmission itself or the clutch re-
mained question. Several mechanics
had said the clutch needed overhauling
This time she decided to utilize little
psychology. When she went to the
service station she asked a mechanic tt
take the wheel and see If he noticed
anything wrong with the car. H.

Milady's Motoring
BY FREDERICK C. RUSSELL

The motorist who listens to back
seat driver says what we need now is
wind resistance for the inside of the
car.
She shot out the driveway and, like
a lot of other people, found that she
had not closed the driving door tightly.
As she swung to the right to enter
the street she opened the door, intend
ing to pull it closed securely. Instead
she nearly fell out when centrifugal
force caused the door to swing open
wide. This sort of thing frequently
happens to passengers except that they
land in the street, not having the steer
ing wheel to mold to.
One of the most encouraging signs in
mortordom is the offering of one of
the newest of the popular priced cars
at an increase in price. At the 1888
national automobile show the trend was
accelerated by the action of one of the
producers of high grade cars in taking
off the market a lower priced model
that was selling unusually well. Price
