IL prospect by next fall. With a
smaller spring pig crop in 1887
than in 1886, it is expected that
hog slaughter next fall and winter
will be much smaller than that of
A wear earlier. If consumer de-
mand for hog products continues
near the present level, prices in
the last quarter of 1887 and the
first quarter Of 1888 will average
higher than IN the corresponding
periods of 1886 and 1887. Farm
prices of chickens may decline dur
ing the summer by as much as
they did in the summer Of 1886.
The farm price of eggs has begun
its seasonal rise to a peak in De-
cember. Production of apples this
wear may be 60 per cent larger
than the small crop Of last year.
Production of peaches, in States
which ship during August and Sep
tember, is twice as large as last
years crop. Market prices of po-
tatoes are expected to continue
downward during the next few
months, as is usual for this season

GUM IN YOUR CAR MOTOR
r. Wier, Jr., of sun Oil Company
Makes a Statement

"Today's motorist doesn't know
as much about the harmful effects
of gum in his motor as he should, .
lis the startling statement made by
Mr.. R. Weir, Jr., Sun Oil Com
pany's district branch manager.
Perhaps it's because gum has
always been looked upon as a nee
essary evil, he continued, 'or per
haps it's because those who know,
don't like to talk about gum, but I
still insist motorists should know
more than they do about its harm
ful effects.
"Gummy deposits are cooked out
of many motor oils by high engine
heats. Such gum is almost as
thick and sticky as roofers' tar and
one of the places it forms is on the
piston rings of the car. Now you
know that these rings have been
built into the pistons in a collar
like form which permits the rings
to contract and expand as the pis-
ton slides up and down inside the
cylinder.
The purpose of these expending
and contracting rings is to always
provide tight seal between the
piston and cylinder wall This
achieves two things. First it pre-
vents power leaks and secondly, it
prevents raw gasoline from flow
ing down the cylinder wall and di-
luting the motor oil. Now if these
rings are gummed or glued tight
into the piston, it is obvious that
the motor is losing power and that
the oil is being diluted.
Here's what I'm leading up to-
Sunoco Oil does not form any
gummy deposits. That's because
it is Mercury Made, because it is
absolutely pure. Time and again
we've checked Sunoco fabricated
motors that have gone tens of
thousands of miles without finding
even a trace of gum. But that's
not all which may be credited to
the purity of Sunoco Oil. It is this
same purity which prevents harm
full crankcase sludge from clogging
oil lines,-which keeps out power
killing hard carbon and which pre-
vents the formation of acids that
are harmful to many of the new
type alloy bearings. In other
words, there are lot of very gen
uine, honest, fact-ful reasons be-
hind the statement that Sunoco Oil
Keeps oMtors Young"

FIND MILFORD
WOMAN IN LAKE
Body of Mrs. Mary Kruppa
Discovered With Face
Downward in Water
WAS CASE OF SUICIDE

Missing from her home since
noon, Mrs. Mary Kruppa, SO, of
Milford, was found drowned Thurs
day night at $50 in Haven Lake,
near the home of the late DR.
Frank L. Grier. The body, face
downward in only about two foot
of water and with a deep cash
across the face, was sighted by
oPicemen Moore and Johnson, who
started a search after the woman's
husband, Alex. Kruppa, became
alarmed at her absence. Kruppa
said his wife had been in Ill health
for some time, but told police he
knew no reason for her to take her
life. He advanced the opinion that
the woman while walking along
the bank fell in a faint and rolled
into the water, her face hitting
sharp stone, accounting for the
cash. The nose also showed evi-
dence of profuse bleeding. Joseph
E. Lof1and funeral director, who
took charge of the body, said that
he could find no evidence of foul
play. Coroner Howard E Hardes-
ty however, conducted an inquest
at the Lof1and funeral parlors Fri
day, rendering a verdict Of 'acci-
dental death" Several persons told
police they had seen Mrs .Kruppa IN
the vicinity of the lake early in the
afternoon. She had been in the
habit of taking long walks, Mr..
Kruppa said, and he did not take
account of her absence until she
failed to return home for the even
ing meal. Mrs. Kruppa's only sur
vivor is her husband

MEDICAL RESEARCH = The
Federal Government has been put
into a field of medical research in
a large way by the bill adopted by
both branches of Congress. A can
Ger institute is to be founded, if ap-
proved by President Roosevelt, at a
cost Of three-quarters of a million
dollars with an authorized annual
expenditure of 100000 for its op-
Grafton. This would be expected to
do much toward finding cure for
the dreaded disease. 1t was esti-
mated that 25,OOO lives might be
saved yearly from the deaths due
to cancer if the patients could be
given modern treatment.
HOUSING Inability to get to-

OPPOSED
TO INCREASING
REAL ESTATE TAX

Farmers of the state are unalter-
ably opposed to any increase in taxes
on real property, and will stand on
that ground when the Special Session
of the Legislature convenes at Anna
polls Thursday. This was announced
by officials of the Maryland Farm
Bureau following a meeting Monday
of the joint tax committee of the
Maryland State Grange and Farm Bu-
reau.
Basing their program on the fact
that real property is already bearing
an unjustly large proportion of the
tax burden, the farm organizations
recommended special taxes to replace
the program vetoed by the Governor
and increase the amount provided by
that program.
Sufficient revenue can be provid-
ed by the suggested program of the
farm organizations committee to
raise between $5,2O0,0OO and $780,
O0O," according to C. E. Wise, Jr.,
secretary of the committee. "The
farm organization group favors an in
crease over the vetoed program on
several items including the floor tax
on whiskey to 8 cents per gallon, on
beer to 81 per gallon, on the filing of
documents to SO cents, and on amuse-
ments to 2 per cent. They also sug-
gest a soft drink tax of 15 cents per
gallon of syrup, and a traders Ii
cense fee of II of 1 per cent. This,
members of the committee believe,
can be added to revenue in excess of
the budget estimate from race tracks
based on increased attendance and bet
ting evident at the spring meetings
to date"
The entire program of the farm
groups tax committee outlines these
measures and estimated revenue:
Auto titling tax, $55O,OOO; Floor tax
on whiskey at cents, $5OO,OOO; Beer
tax of 81 per barrel, $1,15O, 900;
Amusement tax of per cent, $685.
900; Franchise tax, 100000; Docu-
ment tax, $45O,OOO; Cosmetics, 10 per
cent, $275,OOO; Soft drinks, $3.50, 900;
Traders license, $1,125,OOO; Excess
from race tracks, 100000. Total of

LOWELL THOMAS
WILL PAY VISIT
TO OLD WORLD

Rumors of a visit to Europe by
Lowell Thomas, were confirmed today
by NJ. II. Lester, Advertising Direc-
tor of the Sun Oil Company, sponsors
of the commentator.
Next June" explained Mr.. Leis-
ter, Lowell Thomas will begin his
sixth year on the radio under the
sponsorship of the Sun Oil Company,
and during this entire period he has
never had real vacation from the
microphone. Consequently, we not
only feel that he should have a
change of scenery, but also, that there
are so many stirring events taking
place in Europe, that he should see
them himself.
consequently, he will sail for Eu-
rope after his broadcast on Wednes-
day evening, April 28th. This, how
ever, does not mean that the pro-
gram will be abandoned, or that Mr..
Thomas will not be heard during his
trip abroad.
Instead, his place on the air will
be taken by other leading commenta-
tors, and on various dates, Lowell
Thomas will short-wave his reports
from overseas. For instance, on
April 30th he will speak from ship
board in mid-Atlantic and on May 4th
will be heard on the air at the usual
time, speaking from Paris. Then, on
May 18th, he will broadcast his per-
sonal report on the coronation direct
from London and will again be heard
by shortwave from England on May
18th. The last of the shortwave
broadcasts has been arranged for May
21st, when he will broadcast from the
Queen Mary on his way back to the
United States, probably returning to
the program Monday evening, May
24th."
