GASOLINE TAX BRINGS

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

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. A four cents tax is im

MEASLES EPIDEMIC IS
BEGINNING TO WANE
There Were 300 Fewer New Casea
Reported During Week Than Week
Before.
Tribune Bureau,
Sir Walter Hotel.
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. ' 1 ■ jg|

VEGETABLES FOR
VITAMINES
(Editor's Not*: This it on* of tbs on

Vitamines! What are they? (
We hear about them on al
sides. “They are necessary
for normal nutrition* neces-

saidL
Theirchem
•R ical nature is I
J _ not known.
VA But it is an
established
X , fact, that
whe . n th«y
are lacking in
the diet, health suffers. Cer- i
tain diseases are attributed
to this lack—outstandingly
rickets.
Vegetables, fruits and milk
are rich in vitamines. Spin*
ach and tomatoes contain a
higher percentage of vita*
mines than any other foods.
The Y*ar Around
Can or* have plenty of vitamlne*
In the diet the year around? Cer
tainly. And very easily, too. In
xanned vegetables and fruit*, among
other things. (Though canning les
sens the vltamlne content some
what.)
Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer, the Phil
adelphia cooking expert, gives to
day a few simple rules for canning
vegetables.
“Light your stove first. Put a
wash boiler filled with water on on*',
burner, a teakettle on another, and
a large pan of water on the third.
“Prepare vegetables by washing,
and skinning where this Is neces
sary," Mrs. Rorer says. “Wash
the glass Jars, adjust rubbers on
them, and screw on the tops to test
theu.
~
Scald Quickly
“Then open Jars, but do not rs*
move the rubbers. Put them, with
the lids. In a pan, and dtp over them
from the boiler enough water to
tcald.
“Put the vegetables in g square
of cheesecloth, and lower into the
ran of boiling water for IS mlnutea
Lift, drain, and put Into th* Jars
at once.
“Add a teaspoon of salt to each
quart Jar.- Add enough boiling wa
ter to fill Jar (after vegetables aro
In). Screw on the tops, give half
turn back, and place at once on the
rack In the wash boiler or canner.
"Individual wire holders cost but
little and are more easily managed
then a solid rack. When the boiler
is filled, oover, wait until the water
again bolls and turn down to low
heat."

cooking string beans. String beans
are very rich In vitamines. Mrs.
DeGrafs racip* follows:
. String and cut beans la two
lengthwise. Cook in a boiling salted
water in an uncovered saucepan
about 35 minutes. Use only enough
water to barely cover beans. Drain
and season with H teaspoon salt
and a dash of pepper and 1 table

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.”

“Can Law” Not fie Enforced
Until January at Earliest
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel.
By J. C. BABKERVILL
Raleigh. 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.

Thursdrf?; M&y 26, 1927* *
miss loner Doughtnn has already stated
that he is not. in favor of the law,
and it is generally believed . that if
any way is found by which the law
can be declared unconstitutional it
will be done with the entire approval
of the department of revenue and au
tomotive bureau. 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.”
