JUGGLING GASOLINE COUPONS

Juggling of gasoline coupon values
will not solve the Eastern gasoline
rationing problem, is the view of
Keystone Automobile Club, which
recently reiterated it's demand for
complete investigation of the whole
gasoline situation.
"Robbing Peter B and G to pay
Paul A is just another expedient
in a situation which has been inept-
ly handled from the beginning" said
j. Maxwell Smith, President of the
Club. ''It is our conviction that no
satisfactory remedy will be found un-
til an authoritative investigation,
such as now proposed in Congress,
lays bare all the facts and charts a
new course based on bedrock reali-
ties.
1.-THE effect of the latest juggling
act is just what should have been ex-
pected-general dissatisfaction. The
A ration increase of two quarts per
week is not enough to cause wild
acclaim, but the corresponding cut
in and C values is enough to throw
out of whack the ration books al
ready tailored to the demonstrated
needs of motorists in those categor-
les.
Viewed from a national angle,
the readjustments are step in the
right direction, in that motorists of
the Midwest, Southwest and South
east are now sharing some of their
rationing allowances with Eastern
motorists. But 1t is obvious there is
still much to be done toward secur-
ing additional supplies for vital home
front transportation.
keystone, therefore, heartily In
dorses o recent statement by Con
gresham Lea, OF California, Chair
man Of the House Interstate Com
mittee, that the aim OF Congress

dertaken Ii to clarity the supply
situation, learn whether existing
regulations are justified by the facts,
and to see what 10 being done to In
crease the production of vitality es-

GAN these are points which were
to have been covered by the Byrnes
Investigation, originally recommend
ed by the Keystone Automobile Club
and now long overdue. Until they are
thoroughly probed. the public inter-
est cannot be said to have been ade-
quately served.

John L. Haines Passes
Away AT Age Of 95

The following is from the Corona
do, California, Journal, of Sept. 80,
1913:
John Lincoln Haines, honorary
life president of the Coronado Realty
Board, and one of the community's
oldest residents passed away at his
home Monday, following an illness
of several weeks. He was within a
few weeks OF being 96 years of age.
Funeral services are to be held this
afternoon at Benbough funeral par
lors in San Diego. DR.. Howard Bard,
former mayor of San Diego, is to Of
ficiate. Cremation is to follow the
service and the ashes are to be
placed beside those of Mrs. Haines,
who passed away Is years ago.
Real estate offices in Coronado will
be closed this afternoon from / to 8
o'clock.
Judge" Haines came to Coronado
Las years ago-in 1900-after a
colorful career in the "old west" of
the Indian days. During part of his
earlier life he was employed in min
ing enterprises in Colorado, and at
one time, in Carson City, he was
forced to fee from an attack by
hostile Indians.
The deceased was third cousin of
Abraham Lincoln. He was born In
Rising Sun, Maryland, where cou-
sin. Mr.. Edwin Haines, aged 98,
still lives and operates hardware
store Two sisters of Judge" Haines
also live in Rising Sun, Miss Mar
garet H. Haines and Mrs. Ella Haines
Mask. Rising Sum is the family seat
in which Judge" Haines' parents
and grandparents were born and liv-
ed. He received his education in the
east, graduating from college and
later entering a Maryland bank to
become its cashier.
| He was married in Colorado
Springs to Nellie Taft of that city.
She was niece of William Howard
Taft.
During the many years of resi-
dence in Coronado, Judge" Haines
was active in its development as an
exclusive residential community. He
was pioneer real estate broker here,
taking part in the early planning and
building of its many homes and busi-
ness houses. He was a Scottish Rite
Mason and was always keenly inter-
ested in fraternal and civic organi-
cations.
Until few weeks ago, Judge
Haines could always be found in his
office every day, and apparently was
in good health until his final illness
confined him to his home.
It is a far cry from the family es-
tate in Rising Sun, Maryland, near
the Susquehanna River. He was at
tending the State Normal School,
Millersville, Pa, when the funeral
cortege of Abraham Lincoln passed
through. He viewed the assassinated
president lying in state in the glass
sided car, and to him 1t meant more
than to the thousands of other
mourners, for the great emancipator
was second cousin to his grandfather
for whom John Lincoln Haines was
named. He heard the cannons in the
Civil War booming, and saw work
ers on the family estate return af-
ter the peace.
His first glimpse of fighting was
on visit to Carson City, Kansas
There he was pursued by Indians and
out-rode them on a horse belonging
to his host. He witnessed the wreck
of freight outfit when Indians kill
ed 72 whites, and one morning in
Colorado he saw seven men hanging
from trees, summary justice having
been melted out by a Vigilante COM
mittee.
