 Expansion in '3l
 Kaplan Brothers erected their present building at 337-339 East Main Street in 1881, occupying it in October of that year. The new structure provided five times as much floor space as they previously held, enabling them to handle more products and give more eff1cient service.
 During the war the firm supplied industrial bearings to the large war factories in the Naugatuck Valley. Tn this respect. the two brothers feel they rendered a special service as they were able to obtain critical bearings for war machinery and helped keep production at a peak.

THE SIZE OF OUR ARMED
FORCES

The peak strength of the American
army was reached on May 81, 1915,
when S,291,336 persons were in ser
vice. They have been whitfield down
pretty fast but there are still 1,6O0,-
900 officers and men on duty. Con-
gress was asked a few days ago to
double the number of officers in the
regular army, and it was explained
that approximately four-fifths of the
proposed increase would go to the
Army Air Force. Now plans for the
Congress provide increasing the num-
Der of army Coloenls from 1044 to
2108, and the forepart of July about
$500 regular officers will be appoint
ed.
The biggest peacetime military for
ces in all the history of the United
States are being maintained right
now.
Congress fights about such mat
tiers as the "teen-age draft" and
makes compromises that got Eeld up
in Congress, and then off they go on
another tangent. In the end the mill
tary forces get larger and larger. The
theory seems to be that they have
to have great military strength to
keep out of war-and at the same
time to fight at the drop of the hat.

BE SURE YOU HAVE A PLACE TO
SLEEP

To the millions of motorists who
are planning ito go somewhere" this
summer, keystone Automobile Club
gives word of admoitnion: BE
sure, before you go, you have a place
to sleep!"
"In the years before the war said
William j. Merrell, Manager of the
Club in Maryland, sit was considered
advisable to make advance reserva-
ions for sleeping accommodations.
Now it is imperative. The vacation
list who sets out happily without
knowing where he is going may wind
up, unhappily, by making a bed of
his car.
From all corners of vacationland
Maine to California-comes the in
sistent warning to make reservations
veil in advance"
The Club official also pointed to an
other factor which should be taken
nto conisderation-the condition of
automobiles. Before starting on a
ing trip, he advises, motorist should
make every effort to get their cars
INTO good operating condition, with
special attention to the safety fea-
lures. Automobile parts ar estill hard
% obtain and a motorist stranded far
rom omhe may experience extreme
difficulties in having his car repaired
for the home journey.

GAS TAX REVENUE HITS NEW
HIGH

Maryland motorists used 31,193,-
921 gallons of gasoline and paid in
gasoline taxes the record total OF
S1,247,756S4 during the month of
April of this year, according to re-
port received by the Maryland Petro-
leum Industries Committee from Mil
lard j. Tawes, State Comptroller.
This new record collection of gasoline
tax represents an increaes OF $751;
4O1.16 over April of 1915 when the
motorists consumed 22,008,S92 gal
Ions and paid tax of $3.50, 355.68.
"The enormous increase in gaso-
line consumption and consequent
huge collection of gasoline tax far
exceeds all expectations, according
to J. P. Lanigan, Executive Secretary
of the Maryland Petroleum Indus
tries Committee. Commenting fur
Their, Mr.. Lanigan said, Immediately
following cessation of hostilities, it
was predicted by some tEat motor We
hicle use would not again become
normal until 1948. But sales of gas
oline are now running far ahead OF
1871, the last peace year. Possibly
Chairman Robert M. Reindollar was
not aware of this trend when he pro-
poesd an increase in the gas tax. Ger
tainly these continuing huge collec-
tions completely refute this argu-
ment that an increase in the gas tax
rate is necessary to build needed
roads in Maryland. Also, Baltimore
City should be able to do something
about it's streets, because they will
receive approximately one-fourth OF
the $1,247,000 in gas taxes collect
ed by the State Comptroller.
