League, newly formed organiza-
ton comprised of young men

little known today. is of a de-
cided Oriental influence, being
written mainly in four-fourth
time and in the very unusual
seven-eighth time. Part of the
dances in the show will be in
the rhythm of this rarely heard
seven-eighth time.
Over rs young people will be
in the cast. Besides the musical
portion, there will be various
dramatic and comedy skits of
modern Greek influence.

The proceeds Of the show will
go into a trust fund established
for the cultural program adopted
by the league.

 Gasoline consumption was twice as great in 1887 as it was in 1927. The previous gas consumption rec ord was established in 1886. A steady gain has been recorded since 1881, and in only one year in the past 10 has there been a decrease. That was in 1882.
 Part of the increase is accounted for by the many more cars on the road. Registration last year reached high mark of 450,323, a new rec ord. There has also been marked gain in drivers licenses, with more than 510,000 having been issued last year.
 In the state last year there were 48 accidents for every million miles of motor travel. This was slightly higher than the 4.5 rate of 1886 and 1885, but better than the 50 ratio of 1884. The average traffic accident record in the past five years has been AT per million miles of motor vehicle travel.
