YO HO , AND A BOTTLE OF RUM! New York Chorus Girls Hand Out ‘Something \ NEW YORK, Aug. 18.—Prohibition Enforcement Agent James Shevlin today put a crimp In the most alluring and most successful press agent stunt that New York has known since the day the Indians sold Manhattan Island for $24 and a keg of rum. This is how it happened: In the second act of the opening of anew show last night the chorus sang, 'l’ve got something,’’ and sure it had. During the song the girls handed out small bottles containing one snifter of old Carstalr’s whisky to the addience. The bottles were labeled "Compliments of Arthur Hammersteln.” Just as Mr. Hammersteln was working on plans to handle the box office crush today, Mr. Shevlin came out with a statement saying that he would Investigate and If be found that the theatrical man was giving away whisky he would make It uncomfortable for the aforesaid theatrical man.

Lawyer Says Marion Has No Works Board Special to The Time* MARION, lnd„ Aug. 18.—The city of Marion is without a board of public works, according to City Attorney Marshall Williams. During the administration of Msyy Elkanah Hulley, the city engineer, city health officer and city street commissioner, have served as a board of public works and a board of public safety without additional salary. When the 1920 census was announced Marion advanced from a fourth-class to a third-class city. Under the form of government prescribed for cities, the engineer. health officer and street commissioner have no legal authority to sit as a board of public works, the city attorney says. It has been explained to the city council that an ordinance must be passed creating a board of public works under one of three methods prescribed by the state law. As yet no action has been taken.

*"pHE Federal Trade Commission, wHp A in its report to Congress, emphasized the point -that the recent adPjfS© vances in prices of crude and refined || 3E || oils were a natural result of increased M demand, coupled with the difficulty / experienced by the oil companies in jb getting adequate supplies of crude. Other factors contributing were in- © creased costs of drilling, producing S HH i and operating generally; also the Uli MM influence of the unfavorable developments in Mexico in the last few months. The official statement of the commission is refreshing to those who are familiar with the conditions. Not only does no profiteering exist at the present time, but facts demonstrate that there has been no disposition on the part of the oil industry to take advantage of any of the circumstances which might have justified price advances. During the war, the entire petroleum industry united to hold down prices, even at the risk of actual loss. During recent, transportation difficulties, while strikes actually created a shortage of gasoline in some parts of the country, nevertheless price advances did not take place. The value to the public of such a highly trained organization as that maintained by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is obvious. Anticipating and preparing for difficulties in refining arid distribution of petroleum products, are some of the functions of this Company. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 S.

RENEWS FIGHT OVER HIGHWAYS Lawyers Say Power Taken From Road Commission. Renewal of the controversy between the state highway commission and the state tax board 1> expected as a result of an opinion given to the Hoosier Motor club by the legal firm of Matson, Kane & Ross, declaring that the Johnson home rule law takes away from the tax board the control over the tax levy of the highway commission. The act establishing the highway commission fixed the levy st 10 cents on each SIOO of taxable property in the state, Jmt when the new tax law became effective and the property valuation in the state was increased by millions of dollars, it is maintained, the legislature did not intend for the highway commission to receive the income a ten-cent levy would produce on the new valuation. The tax board accordingly fixed the levy for the commission last year at 3.9 cents. It was not believed at the time of the passage of the Johnson bill that it would go further than to return control over bond issues to local taxing units, and curtail the power of the tax board over the highway commission.
