said.
In some cases carburetor adjust
ment is all that is necessary, but in
others, an expensive repair bill for
grinding of valves or installation of
piston rings is necessary. If, how
ever, the gas content is too high,
the car gets a red sticker until the
cause of the gas waste is remedied.
The case of Jermian Maynard,
1443 @ street NV, one of those in
for final inspection today, is illus
trative of one of the costly jobs-s54.
His car passed muster on the oil
burning. but he still has to get an

Virginia boy,15,
is Indicted in
Triple Staying
Mountain Youths
Trial Is Set

Three flrst-degree murder indict-
ments were returned here this after
noon against 15-year-old Thomas
Dewey tBuck Cameron, jr., for the
triple holdup Staying of the Johnson
family in their post Office and gen.
eral store at Huntly on May 20.
Judge J. r. H. Alexander set
July "a as the date for a trial which
promises to be one of the most un-
usual in the history of Rappahan-
mock County.
The mountain boy was not pres
ent when the indictments were re-
turned and the judge expressed the
wish to attendants that his present
whereabouts be withheld from the
public.
The murder of Edward Johnson,
AZ: his wife, Sadie. 40. the post
mistress at Huntly, and their daugh-
ter Ethel, IS. caused feeling to run
high in the mountain community.
Cameron is the son of an orchard
worker, who lives in a cabin in the
Blue Ridge Mountains overlooking
the scene of the shooting.
Two Witnesses Heard.

All Shots Took Effect.
The shots apparently were fired
in rapid succession and all took

that headquarters were to be trans
ferred to the West, We have been be-
sieged with applications for en-
ployment." Mr.. Rutledge said. The
personnel office was forced TO keep
open Sunday to answer inquiries"
Chance to Go Back Home.
Among the 40 staff members who
have elected to make the move TO
Salt Lake City, there is general re-
ioicing on the whole. Even among
the 20 who feel compelled to remain
here for family and economic rea-
sons, majority are disappointed.
About two-thirds of the employees
are Westerners and for most of them
it is welcome chance to go home"
Mr.. Rutledge said.
The transfer to the West was
sought voluntarily by all heads of
offices in the small grazing division
and before the decision was made,
the question was put up to the en-
ployes month ago. Therefore un-
like the transfer of the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board from WASH
ington to New York, no sudden up
roofing of homes is involved.
A majority of the grazing en-
ployes have long been in the field
service of the Government, although
the division itself is only five years
old.
Used to Transfers.
"a lot of them before they moved
to Washington were used to keeping
a saddle and bed-roll in the regional
quarters for immediate USE" Mr..
Rutledge said.
One veteran employe. 81 years In
the Government service, remarked
that he had never been in one place
longer than three years.
"It's like being in the Army he
explained. 1--WE are used to picking
up and leaving"
Few divisions in Washington could
be so little affected or upset about
transferring from the city as the
Grazing Division.
One of the women clerks who is
staying behind was said to be heart
broken" She has sister in an
other Federal Office and the two of
them care for an invalid father.
They feel it is better that the family
should not separate.
Few New Clerks Employed.
Another typical case is that of a
man and wife, both employed; with
young daughter and elderly
parents to support. The parents are
not equal to the ordeal of setting up
new homes in a strange city. And so
on, the story goes.
Most of those remaining here have
found comparable berths with the
new defense Office of Petroleum Co.
ordination, which is to occupy the
space vacated by the Grazing Divi-
sion. Others are being placed else
where.
A few new clerks have been taken
on and others probably will be found
IN the West.
The move to Salt Lake City will
be made progressively. 1t will start
in about 10 days. Some of the en-
ployes are driving in their auto
biles. The Government will pay
them 4 cents a mile, but not in
excess of railway and Pullman fare.
Plenty of Parking Space.
Others leaving by train will have
their fare paid and their household
goods freighted free of charge. Other
members of the family. however,
have to pay their own railway fares.
"At least there will be plenty of
automobile parking space in Salt
Lake city," one official remarked.

Ogden, Utah, says the cheaper cost

This is vacation season II extra
money" time-when we indulge in lux
uries that we ordinarily could not af-
ford. 1t is at this time of year that a
royalty investor can enjoy his royalties,
providing he sets aside vacation
royalty"
The writer has royalty that has long
since paid out but is still bringing i'll
a monthly check large enough so that
it provides vacation money each year
Accordingly, vacation money doesn't
have to come out of the grocery fund
or out of the insurance money or other
current funds of the annual budget This
royalty is vacation insurance" for
long time to come.
There were two or three years when
there was a curtailment in oil purchases
when this vacation fund didn't amount
to much. The result was that we had
a much less luxurious vacation-con-
fined to short trips. But in other years
we have found ourselves amid a care
free vacation such as described in the
travel folders-with every luxury de-
sired.
We did not invent this idea. Many
years ago we knew a school teacher
who set aside her royalty income as
vacation money. We protested that she
should first get back her principal and
thereafter enjoy the income as extra
money"
That isn't my idea" she said. "This
is vacation money l am putting into
royalties. If it grows, then it will give
me something have always lacked
money to travel.
The idea grew with us and someone
dropped on the plan of setting aside
two good royalties as vacation roy
alties" One such royalty, so designated,
overdid the thing by producing too
much revenue and it was relegated
back to the trust fund in which the
writer carries his royalty investments
The other royalty carries on nicely and
will doubtless continue to provide va
cation funds for many years to come.
The writer returned this week from
a trip to Glacier Park, the first half of
a split" vacation The other half will
be trip to Jasper park in Alberta, over
the new highway In Glacier Park we
had a virtual reunion of oil men from
