Warrants totaling $615,673, including one for $108,506 for the city of Indianapolis, were mailed today by L. S. Bowman, State auditor, to the various cities and towns sharing in the apportionment of gasoline tax collections during the last eleven months. Simultaneously, checks for a total of $1,847,020 were being sent to the ninety-two counties as their proportion of the allotments, including one for $29,826 for Marion county. The total amount sent out to cities and counties was $2,462,693. Os the grand total of $7,585,651 collected since April 1, 1925, first under 2-cent tax and then under the three, the State highway commission will receive $4,925,387, or two-thirds of the net proceeds. Some Refunded The gasoline tax department refunded $186,171.82 on gasoline not consumed on the public roads. Thl3. added to the $11,398.86 spent in maintaining the gasoline tax collection force, reduced net proceeds of the 3-cent tax collections for the last eleven months to $7,388,081.28. According to Archie N Bobbitt, State collector, three-fourths of the net proceeds from the 1-cent raised for counties, cities ’And towns, is distributed, half equally among the ninety-two counties, and half of the basis of improved road mileage. With 37.526.06 miles of county roads In the State, therefore, each county receives approximately $24 for each mile of road. Bach county also receives $10,038.15 of the amount equally divided. The 507 incorporated cities and towns, Kobbit explained, have a total population of 1,782,757, making a per capita allotment of about 34*4 cents, when the remaining quartercent is distributed. Ravens wood $1.73 The town of Ravenswood, with a population of only five, received the smallest warrant sent out, a check for sl-73. Clinton County, with 841 miles of Improved roads, received the largest county apportionment, a a check for $30,746. Ohio County’s check for $11,360, was the smallest county alllowance.

Shaneberger, board president, said.

CITY’S BUILDING FIGURE HIGHER February Mark Better Than for Month Last Year. Proof that Indianapolis is in the midst of a building boom was revealed today in the February report of Bert J. Westover, building commissioner, showing an increase in valuation of permits issued last month of $516,394 over Februarv, 1925. During February, 1926, there were 780 permits issued with $2,421,972 valuation. Last year there were 1,125 permits totaling $1,905,958. Westover said that an unusual number of large buildings for business, school and church purposes accounted for the greater valuation. Westover predicted additional increases for 1926 which probably will result in a higher valuation than the $26,000,000 mark for 1925. REHEARING PETITIONED Bu United Press CHICAGO, March I.—J. S.

LOOK CLOSELY AT HER EYEBROWS

OOOK closely at your sweetheart’s eyebrows, before you pop the question, boys! Latest psychological conclusions indicate that eyebrows are a very important index to the character. If, when she says, “I love you only,” you notice her eyebrows are very highly arched, she probably doesn’t mean what she’s saying. That, at least, is what Mrs. Ruth T. Maurer, beauty expert of Chicago says. A few other conclusions of her are that eyebrows that slant upward, indicate a suspicious turn of mind; brows set far apart, a generous nature, while bushy brows, meeting over the nose in a straight line, tell the world that you have a strongly jealous element in your mental makeup. Bocal beauty experts are not quite so radical in their eyebrow conclusions, but Miss Thelma Fox, the “eyebrow doctor” of the Grah Beauty Academy, said, “there is absolutely nothing that adds or de-

CITY STREET CAR COMPANY WILL EXPAND Four Major Projects Are Planned for Spring and Summer. Doing its “bit” in the utility preparation for a greater Indianapolis, and, barring unforeseen requirements, to spend the money otherwise, the Inldianapolis Street Railway Company plans four major expansions, to be completed before next foil. Despite bus competition and the fact that revenues are falling and dividends are slipping tart her in arrears, the company plans to replace, its feeder power lines with six substations, wheretransformers costing $150,000 apiece will, be installed. The company owns part of the sites, it has received bids on the machinery and will let the contracts when engineers complete plans for the stations. One will •be located downtown, one at the W. Washington St. car barns, two on the north side, one east and one south. To Expand Station Samuel Insull, Chicago utility operator, who owns the common stock in the company by his recent purchase of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction lines will double the generating capacity of the W. Tenth St. power station, which he acquired by the purchase, and supply electricity to the substations. Power will be relayed through the transformers into trolleys by separate feeders for each city street car line. At present several lljaes are supplied power by one feeder line. Therefore, if it is disabled, traffic is paralyzed on several lines at the same time. For instance, Central and College lines, the fairgrounds loop and the' Fairfield Ave. line are supplied by the same feeder. The overworked feeder line often goes out of commission. In Merchants Station One of the six transforming stations likely will be located in the Merchants Heat and Bight Company power station at Sixteenth and Alabama Sts. The Merchants firm is Insull controlled. This complete revamping of the power supply system will equip the company to expand service for years to come without new electric facilities and will put enough power in each line to speed up schedules. Three other expansions planned are: Conversion of 100 cars into modern carriers, extension of bus lines and completion of the bus sta- ! tion at the Traction Terminal station. Conversion of the cars likely will cost $250,000. Bus development in 1925 cost $200,000 and company officials feel there is little question but that the expenditure on this part of its service will be doubled this year.
