FACES PUZZLE IN HANDING OUT CITY GASOLINE Garage Chief Doesn’t Know When ‘Private Cars are in Public Use.’ The problem of determining when a private ear is on “city business" today confronted Jerry Gates, municipal garage superintendent who has orders to supply gasoline to six city employes. "There is no wa> for me to tell when a man is driving his car on city business, but after all the city saves money on the deal," said Gates. Gates has orders to furnish a “reasonable” amount of gasoline to the employes who are not furnished a city car but use their own machine in their work. Explaining the policy whereby certain engineering employes benefit under the crdeis. City Engineer A. H. Moore said: “The city gets the best of the bargain if an employe provides his own machine and Is furnished gasoline. What iittle cheating there may be on gasoline is more than made up by the depreciation and wear on the automobile." Collins on Test Those receiving free gas are: John Collins, son of Criminal Judge James A. Collins, who is assigned as inspector on the Morris street bridge; Coai Inspector Charles Howe, Fred Cretors and John Vogle, engineering department aids, and Boyd Temple, Negro, sidewalk repair foreman. Gates has installed a nightly checking system whereby a written report is made on each car at 7 p. m. Thirty city employes, including health, recreation, Gamewell, and street cleaning department employes, have been granted permission to take city cars out of the municipal garage at night. Written Orders Needed Written orders from the board, which has jurisdiction over the department, are required by Gates and the list is pos ed on the garage bulletin for benefit of the night watchman. Several department heads have authority to use cars at night. An accurate check of the mileage and gas consumption of each city car has been begun by Gates and the record kept in a permanent ledger. Speedometers have been installed on thirty trucks which were not so equipped, to aid in checking the mileage against gas consumption. In reorganizing the garage sys- j terns, Gates required that a service j record be kept on each machine, ! the date and mileage of all greasing and service operations being recorded with the name of the mechanic doing the work.

PROFITS FROM TREES Representative of United States Forest Service Speaks at Lafayette. Bn United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., July 4.—Reforestation as a means of making profit from waste lands was urged by E. N. Wheeler of the United States forest service, Washington, in addressing Purdue students and city residents Thursday night. Millions of acres of poor farm lands in Indiana and elsewhere in the United States show no profit when planted in crops but would be profitable if planted to trees, Wheeler said. ‘‘ln addition to being a great factor in flood control, woods provide 90 per cent of the building material for American homes, rayon and cellophane, paper and many other products,” he said.

NEW YORK DRY PARTY REVIVAL IS POSSIBILITY Group Would Draw Major Strength from Faction of Republicans. Bu United Peers ALBANY, N. Y., July 4.—Revival of the Prohibition party, which has been missing from the political lists for many years, is seen as a possibility in the fall elections because of the complicated position into which the two major parties in New York state have worked themselves on the eighteenth amendment. If such a revival does come about, it appears the Prohibitionists will "find the core of their strength in the dry faction of the Republican party. The Democratic state organization is on record as favoring an amendment to the Volstead act to permit the sale of light wines and beer. But the prohibition issue has split the Republicans into factions of almost equal strength. The wet camp is headed by former United State Senator James W. Wadsworth, who insists that a dry candidate can not hope to win. William H. Hill of Binghamton,

known as "the original Hoover leader,” is equally emphatic in declaring that an anti-prohibition candidate will be defeated. He has mustered the ten counties along the Pennsylvania border, a block that is known as “the southern tier,” and contends that such powerful backing will make it impossible for the wets to nominate a candidate.” Hill goes even farther. He intimates that the dry Republicans may nominate an independent candidate if the Wadsworth faction is victorious. Political experts point out that such a move would open the way for revival of the Prohibition party. The prohibition issue is proving less disturbing to the Democrats who have Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt ready to run for re-elec-tion. There have been frequent intimations that Roosevelt personally is a dry. Recently it was reported that the dry faction was in possession of a letter written by Mrs. Roosevelt in which she was said to

Efforts have been made recently to have Roosevelt discuss ids views fully. It is generally believed that Wadsworth will support the candidacy of George R. Fearon, state senator from Onondaga, but there also are j rumors that the former United, States senator may attempt to ob- i tain the nomination himself.
