GASOLINE TAX BRINGS $19,000,000 TO STATE Im Gasoline No Higher Here Than In New York, Where There Is No The Tribune Bureau This fact was brought out by Gov ernor A. W. McLean, who mentioned that it was ■ an interesting fact in connection with the growing popular ity of the gasoline tax among the vari ous states, and he called attention in particular to a campaign that has been conducted in Vermont—President Coolidge’s home etate—-to have the gasoline tax increased from two cent* to four cents a gallon, since it has been found that an increase in the amount of tax does not materially Qjggß bq increase in the retail plice 'j. accounts for and offsets the amount of the tax Imposed. At present forty-four states now im pose a tax on gasoline, varying from one cent in flhode Island and Texas, to five cents in Kentucky and South Carolina. The most popular tax, however, is the two cents tax now in force in 21 states and the District of Columbia. The* is a 3-cent tax In nine states, and a S 1-2 cents tax in two states.

Raleigh, May 24. —At last the measles epidemic over the 6tate is beginning to wane, for there were 300 fewer new cases reported during the week just ended, than for the week previous, according to the lateat report from bureau of vital statigjice, of the State Board of Health. During the week just closed, 1,613 new measles cases were re ported, while the week before, the number was nearly 2,000, or 1,987 to be exact. The number of whooping cough canes is remaining about at the earns average, with 582 new i-asea reported this past week, as com pared with 477 cases the week be fore. There were but 18 cases of scarlet fever reported only 10 of diptheria and 9 typhoid, although there were 44 cases of smallpox, aa compared with only 33 cases the week previous. Durham goes into the lead with the largest number of measles esses, reporting 246 the past week. Win ston-Salem comes second, with 233 cases. In all the other cities re porting the number of cases is less than 00. The county reporting the largest number of measles cases is Granville, with 106 new cases last week. ' With warmer weather now, and with> the schools rapidly being dis missed for the summer, the Board of Health expects a rapid decrease in both mehnles and whooping rough cases.

ALL VEHICLES IN STATE 1 MUST CARRY LIGHTS SOON ' Just Six Weeks Until Law Passed By | Last Legislature Becomes Effective. Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hhtel. I Raleigh, May 23. —All vehicles on the highwnys at night will be re quired to carry a light on the rear jat night in less than six weeks from | now, but so far there has been no noticeable rush oil the part of farm ers to buy lanterns to carry on their horse-drawn veheiles, nor lias the Highway Commission made any an nouncement with regard to the use of reflectors. This fact was pointed out today by Sprague Sliver, chief of the auto mobile division, and C. W. Roberts, vice president of the Carolina Motor Club, in discussing the “Lights on wagons" bill, and the steps, or lack of steps, that have been taken to put it into operation. The law requires that all horse drawn vehicles shall enrry on the left side one or more lighted lamps or landems, visible under normal atmos pheric conditions from a distance of not less than 500 feet to the front of such vehicle and visible under like conditions from a distance of not less than 50/feet to the rear of such vehicles, or in lieu of said lights shall be equipped with reflectors of a type approved by the State Highway Com mission. Under the bill introduced by Sen ator Rivers Johnson an enacted into law entitled an act to protect human life by requiring all vehicles operated or driven upon ,the public highways of this state to carry lights at night no provision was made for reflectors. The Uniform Act will be followed in enforcement of the “tail light” legis lation as it was passed after the Johnson bill and carries the provision that all laws or clauses of laws in conflict with the act are repealed. Just what type of reflector will meet the requirements of the law and be approved by the State Highway commission will be awaited with in terest as it will have to have two reflecting surfaces in order to be vis ible both from front and rear. The statute requiring lights on ve hicles will probably affect more per sons thnn any other phase of the uni form act. Penalty will be q fine not to exceed SSO or imprisonment not to exceed 30 days. The law goes into effect July 1. ‘There has been more favorable comment on this law than on any single feature of the uniform motor vehicle cotie,” Mr. Roberts said. “En actment of this law was particularly gratifying to the Carolina Motor club as its officials and members worked hard for three years to secure its passage. It was defeated at the 1925 session by a close vote. “The rear light law, coupled with, the act requiring headlights for motor vehicles to conform to the state law and be tested under the supervisor of the State Highway department, ’should go a long ways towards elim inating the scores of accidents on North Carolina highways at night.” FAITH.

May 25. —The controversy that raged for several week* over the so-called “can law v , requiring regis tration cards to be displayed on the instrument boards of automobiles In a “can container” at a cost of 30 cents per "can” as an added safeguard against automobile thefts, now swings into full blast again. That this container law is worth* less, and pernicious as well, and that out of thirteen patented containers, none of them are theft proof to the professional thief, is the statement made by Paul B. Eaton, Charlotte patent attorney, in a special article appearing in the May issue of the Carolina Motorists, j*st off the press today. And in a box, preceding the article is a note signed by C. W. Roberts, editor of the magazine and vice president of the Carolina Motor Chib, to the effect that the law is unnecessary as a theft precaution* in view of the present title registration laws, stating further that the motor club is ready to seek an Injunction against the operation of the law, should an attempt be made to put it into effect. •- . . , - , , When informed of three facts, R. A. Donghtoh, commissioner of reve nue and charged with the enforcement of the motor vehicle laws, called at tention to the fact that' no attempt was being made to enforce the con tainer law at this forthcoming regis tration in June. Since time was not sufficient in which to get the con tainers he also added that the depart ment was not' crossing any birdgre until they were reached, and since there was no possibility of putting the law into effect until next January, there was plenty of time yet in which to work out the “can” law. Com* REQUEST FOR AUTOGRAPH GOT WOMAN “IN BAD’ Atlanta Woman Started Something When She Asked Mussolini to Au tograph Photo. •. Atlanta, Ga., May 23.-r-How an innocent requret for an autograph seemingly caused a near riot in Rome; sent the entire police and secret ser vice department of the famous black shitted Mussolini government into ac tion and brought an Atlantan under suspicion, was told here upon the ar rival home of Mrs. Guy Ayer from an European tour. In Italy at the time of the official reception of the American University ■ Cruiser and knowing the dictator would be present, Mrs. Ayer bought a photo of Mussolini at a bookstall with the avowed intention of having it au tographed to exhibit at home as a trophy and souvenir. “Would the great Mussolini auto graph this for an American visitor?” was the way her request read. And then the fan began. | Shortly after two secret service men . presented themselves at her hotel and ! made a thorough investigation of the , person who had made the audacious request. A week later the high “muck t a-muek” of the Italian national police ( made a personal visit to Mrs. Ayer. “Suppose, Signora,” he said, “one of us should make such a request of ' your President Coolidge? 1 “Why, he’d either scratch a line across it or throw it in the waste bas ■ ket,” Mrs. Ayer told him. 1 Just before leaving Rome ’to re • turn to America “a communication” ' from the palace of the dictator ar rived for Mrs. Ayer. It was the ■ photograph with a “hand done” auto graph inscribed across a corner. PERFECTION Oil CooK Stoves and Ovens A 118 l K| ifejA lebbT.

So the “can law” seems to be facing some hard sledding. In commenting on the container law, Mr. Eeaton in his article says; "Careful study brings the doubt that none of these containers will comply with the law. There are thirteen patents which claim the card cannot be removed without mutilation, unless the container is destroyed. This is not necessarily true, since the profes sional thieves may eqsily extract the cards by using a magnet.” If the state does adopt any of tjie thirteen patents, it should be very careful that the one adopted does not infringe on any of the others, Mr. Eaton warns, stating that an infringe ment would mean that the individual motorist would not only have to pay for the holder, but would be liable.., for any infringement suit as well. The state also might be required to pay out large sums as royalties to owners whose patents have been in fringed. “It appears that, the automobile owners of the state should not be forced to buy these containers, since none of them are theft proof, and thievery of automobiles would not be eliminated. If the percentage of the thefts is lowered in any state by their use, it is only due to the elimination of the occasional unprofessional thief. The holders will not prevent an equipped crook from stealing any au tomobile he desires to steal.” PERFECTION Oil Cook Stover out Ovctut mo - -eomem The Quickest Way and the best way to satis l fy you that the Perfection is the best oil stove you 1 can buy is to come in and let us show you what it will do. , \ Come in any time.
