"AIR- R-CONDITIONED" American Gas
counteracts cratic engine tendencies due
to daily changes in outside temperature
and humidity, and makes your motor
run efficiently and uniformly no matter
what the weather may be.
The Washington times., 1935-08-15
HERE'S why IT DOES:

AIR-CONDITIONED" American Gas
is unlike other regular gasolines. To
begin with, it is produced from 1OO%
Pure Petroleum Base, with careful
adjustment of light end content to
meet varying weather conditions. 1t is
not acid d-treated. Further, no chemicals
are added-it does more than regular
gasolines to which chemicals are added
it does more than any other regular
gasoline can do.

ments of bloodshed in order to
vindicate spiritual conceptions. -.
When men take up arms to set
other men free, there is something
sacred and holy in the warfare"
That was spoken more than
three years before Europe went to
war in 1914, more than six years
before the United States went into
that conflict. Nobody wanted war.
But when a situation arose in
which America was called upon to
vindicate the spiritual conception
of Liberty, as Mr.. Wilson had
phrased it, we went into the war
in that spirit.
Don't let anyone tell you Amer
lea went to war for profits or to
save somebody's investments.

|CHAINS and gambling
How many chain letters have
you had? I've only received n
myself but my wife has had four or
five in the past fortnight and |
think my daughters latest score
is around fifteen.
We have one very simple sys-
tenn of handling these chain letters.
That is to throw them in the waste
basket without answering them.
The chain letter craze is just one
more evidence of the widespread
gambling spirit which prevades the
whole country. The trouble with
this form of gambling is that the
odds are so heavy against every
one who tries it.
I suggest that anybody who has
money to bet and the urge to get
money without working for it
would better wait until he can lay
his wager under some controlled
and well-policed scheme where he
at least has a chance of collecting
This winnings if luck should happen
to be with him.

money keeps going down.


There have been a number Of
books issued recently by intelligent
observers of financial and econo-
mic conditions, all pointing out
that the inflationary movement is
under way. 1t is not likely to
burst upon us all of a sudden, and
a great many people will not re-
cognize its approach, these COM
mentators say, until it is too late
for them to protect themselves
against its effects. We hear of
many wealthy people who have
bought and are buying farm lands,
city real estate and stocks in the
expectation that when the full
swing of initiation gets under way
they will be able to sell these
things for several times as many
dollars as they paid for them.
We do not quite see the full ad-
vantage of that sort of hedging
against the future, if the dollar is
to continue to go down. When a
beefsteak cost a billion marks in a
German restaurant, as it did IN
1921, it was not much satisfaction
to the man who had made a billion
marks profit on the sale of his
house, if he had to spend it all for
one meal. Yet that was an extreme
case and we think most folk who
have any property would do well
to hold on to it for higher price
and if they have loose dollars, to
put those into property for which
they are pretty sure to get more
dollars than they invested, in the
course of the next few years.

Billion Below "a
Treasury Shows Eleven
Months of Fiscal Year
In Gain; Marked Pick
Up In Income Tax List

The Government wound up II
months of its fiscal year with a
deficit of 3,133 million dollars:
which may be increased slightly
by the year end, Treasury records
disclosed.
A 612 million-dollar gain in re-
ceipts against an increase of SO
millions in expenditures promised
to hold the years deficit nearly
1000 millions under hat of 1884.
The II months expenditures
totaled 6,704 millions, and the re-
ceipts 1885 millions.
The most marked pickup in re-
ceipts was ZIG millions in income
tax collections to a total of S45
millions. The Treasury expects
substantial benefit from this high
er level of payments again this
month.
The Government cut emergency
OUTLAWS 352 million dollars from
last year, due to RFC collecting
more money than it is paying out.
Relief costs increased.
The reduction in emergency
spending was more than offset by
a $50 million dollar increase in or
binary expenditures.
Customs receipts increased %
millions to a total of 315 millions
for the II months.
The public debt increased nearly
$500 millions, standing on May
81 at 1865 million dollars.
The remainder of the deficit
was financed by drawing on the
Treasury's huge cash balance for
ga million dollars.

FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1885
WORK RELIEF WAGES

Now that the first excitement
over the wage scales that have been
announced for the relief projects
has died away, we can sit back and
do a little wondering as to just
how many folk who are now on
relief will feel like going to work.
We hope that the government will
be able to find enough work to put
every able-bodied man and woman
on a job. Assuming that there
are enough projects to take up
most of the slack, it seems to us
that the only way the whole plan
can be made effective is to take
everybody off direct relief who
refuses to go on work relief.
The work relief wages for un-
skilled workers range from $19 to
$40 a month, and for skilled
workers from SIS to S94 a month.
These are not high enough to keep
anybody who really wants to work
from taking private employment
when that is available. But they
are not 50 much higher than the
sums which are being currently
paid as direct relief, as to form
much of an inducement to the lazy
and the slackers to exercise their
muscles, so long as they can loaf at
public expense. The unskilled
worker who is drawing $50 or so a
month, as many are in many re-
gions, is apt to figure hat if he
goes on work relief at $40 a
month he is really getting $40 a
month for working. We have heard
of such cases.
Therefore, it seems to us of the
highest Importance that nobody
who refuses to take this work relief
when it is offered should be per-
mitted to stay on any relief roll at
all. We have no real expectation
that any policy will be adopted, be-
III we cannot imagine a ma
tionwide set-up of relief admins
tration, work relief or direct relief,
that is not in the hands Of politi-
clans, and we have seldom heard of
politicians willing to ALLEVIATE voters
by telling them that if they want
to eat they must work.

PR OPERTY VALUES RISING

In spite of all of the declarations
from Washington that there is to
be no initiation, it seems to US as if
the processes of initiation, in the
broad sense, are already in opera
ton. We do not mean by that that
the country is in any danger of a
flood Of unbacked printing press
money such as brought ruin to all
creditors in and of Germany in
192o-21; but it is definitely infla-
ton when the price of commodities

after Al years it is still selling s.,
900 copies a year. Children danced
in the streets to its accompaniment
on hand-organs; player-Piano rolls
were ground out by the thousands;
and even now merry-go-rounds
still circle their gay and futile miles
to the tune of East Side, West Side.
In 1923 the song assumed a place
Of national importance when Al
Smith, who felt that its word
clearly reflected the sentiment that
was the keynote of his presidential
ambitions, adopted it as his cam
paign song.
Last week the man who wrote
the lyrics to this song died penni-
less and his burial was at the ex-
pense of the American Society of
Composers. James W. Blake, pro-
duct of the East Side, wrote the
words in 80 minutes out of the
memories of his childhood.
Mamie O'Rourke," Johnny
Casey" and Little Johnny Grove"
were actual playmates of his back
in the good old days and he immor-
talized them by setting their names
to the music of Charles Lawlor, a
vaudeville actor who died, sight
less, some ten years ago.
The word-picture of children
who "tripped the light fantastic
on the sidewalks" brings back nos
talgic visions of a little ond New
York in its lighter-hearted days of
free lunches and tandem bicycles.
Mr.. Blake's song was considered
very tony by the candy kids of
"Nellie Shannon's" time.
Mr.. Blake and Mr.. Lawlor made
the mistake of selling their song
outright, thus dispensing with any
share of accruing royalties. Soon
both lyricist and composer were
forgotten by the public, who new
ertheless continued to hum their
catchy refrain. Things have
changed since those times wrote
the dapper hat clerk Blake, little
dreaming that one day the line
would seem to have been prophetic.
By an ironic twist of fate, he
wandered the sidewalks of New
York for years in vain search of
employment. 1t is to be hoped
that he found some small measure
of compensation in the fact that
his lifting phrases always carried
listeners back to the years when
we were ''boys and girls together"

TODAY AND
BY
FRANK Parker STocKBRDGE

SPRING up our way
Spring has come at last up in
the New England hills. 1t has
been the latest season in recent
years-so late that l hear many Of
the younger folk in our town say
that this May must have been the
coolest on record.
Well, I can remember one New
England Summer in my boyhood
when snow fell on the Fourth of
July! Not much, to be sure, but
enough Of the rain that fell all
that day-and spoiled our 'cele-
bration"-froze under the chill of
a Canadian north wind to enable
us to see the white flakes. And l
remember one Memorial Day-we
used always to call it Decoration
Day"-when my sisters and I were
looking for wood violets to place
on the soldiers graves, we found a
snow-bank a foot deep in a shaded
gully. And just above the snow
the violets were blooming.
There is no precedent that any
body can go by in forecasting the
weather. No two years are ever
quite alike.

Commerce reports that three times
as many American flags have been
sold so far this year as in the first

that means that the reaction a.

the Chicago business men seem to
think, but l would be glad to see
a general revival of the old-fash-
toned ''flag-raisings" that used to
be a regular Fourth-of- July affair

There is a little hill on my farm
where the Liberty Pole used to
stand, up to forty or fifty years
ago. The pasture around it is
still known as "the flagpole lot"
If I thought anything could di-

them to an old-fashioned

The knights of Columbus last night

to President Roosevelt protesting
against "the silence of the Govern
nent Of the United States and Its

ton of Catholics in Mexico.
The letter said the President had
ignored all efforts of the lodge to
have its representatives discuss the
matter with him and that Senator
Key Pittman, chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, had
failed to reply to letter requesting
permission to appear before the COM
mittee in behalf Of the Borah reso-
luton.
1t stated further that when the
Borah resolution was ''pigeonholed'
In the committee and the charge was
publicly made that 1t had beer
"bottled up" by the President, 1t was
not denied.
The letter also took issue with the
statement Of the State Department
that "our Government Is without au-
thority 70 determine or affect the sit
uation in Mexico or any other foreign
country" citing numerous instances
In which the United States has inter-
vened to prevent persecution Of op.
pressed peoples in other countries.
