GASOLINE PRICE
DROPS BELOW OUR
NEIGHBOR STATES

Montanans who have for years
been crying about the price OF
gasoline being higher than in
neighboring states must today find
something else TO complain about
for the price OF gasoline in prin-
cipal Montana points is less than II
is in washington on the west and
in the Dakotas on the east.
Gasoline can be purchased in
Butte, Helena and other points for
20 cents per gallon while the price
OF gasoline in Seattle and Portland
Is 22 and % cents. In Spokane
the price Is rs cents. Montana
prices are likewise one to two cents
under Dakota prices.
The undeclared price war which
put gasoline prices at an all-time
low Is said to be based on sub
normals''-in other words, the nor
NAL basis of gasoline prices
has not been changed. but the
prices named by the price leader,
Continental Oil company. are below
the normal or proper prices. This
Is important dnasmuch as this fac
tor determines whether the present
prices are temporary or permanent.
incidentally, the revenues OF Mon
tana companies engaged in the
gasoline business in Montana are
being cut approximately 100000
per month or at the rate OF $4,000
900 for the year, based on 1888
sales.
In Butte, home OF the gasoline
war, the Community filling station
has undercut the new 20-cent price,
selling for 10 cents a gallon Its
price was formerly two cents under
the established price.

He began writing in high school

first book ARMIES WITH WINGS
combines both interests. Actually
it is one of the first books to tell a
bout modern aerial warfare from a

conclusions in the discussion are
based on the authors experiences
with combat units of the Republic

and their color transforms them in
to creations delightful to wear and

All types of beautiful styles may

Goodrich Synthetic
Rubber Announced

"You amt seen nothing yet"
And we do mean you. Those last
frontiers people are always talk
ing about have been scuttled re-
peatedly by American industry
and research chemists. It's what
we "ain't seen yet" that men
make frontiers in this modern
world. This weeks announce
ment by the B. E. Goodrich COM
pany of the marketing of a new
tire made synthetic rubber call
ed Ameripol is the latest exam
pie of new inventions that we
may accept as an old thing to-
morrow.
DR.. Waldo Semon, is credited
with the discovery, in the Good
rich laboratories, of Ameripol.
The synthetic product is made of
oil, gas, soap and air. 1t looks,
feels and reacts like rubber but
smells a little like coal tar. Sue
cessful tests indicate the impor-
tance the product may assume
in time of war when regular av-
enues of rubber imports are
closed.
Carl Serfass, manager of the
Newark Goodrich Store, says he
has sample tire on hand and
can get immediate delivery by
ordering from the factory for all
customers desiring the tire be-
fore it is stocked as a regular
item.
