AUTO RETAILING CODE APPROVED BY U. S. COURT Head of Indiana Board Cites Ruling Against Memphis Company. Much has been done in the last few days to determine the definite status of the automobile retail code, according to W. J. Robinson, chairman of the Indiana state advisory board. He points out that assurance has been received that the automobile dealer's code is not affected by the recent announcement that price fixing is not to be included in code powers. Mr. Robinson quotes from a telegrom from F. W. A. Vesper, administrator for the motor vehicle retailing code: "Market provisions of the motor vehicle retailing code are not inI eluded or contemplated in the statement regarding the abolition of price fixing recently released to newspapers. This ruling from the authorities in Washington strengthens the automobile code immeasurably.” The national control board of the code authority has been holding sessions formulating plans for the enforcement of the code throughout the country, Mr. Robinson asserts, and following the completion of this program, enforcement of code provisions will be carried on rigorously. That the code has legal status in federal courts is indicated by another telegram from code authorities, says the Indiana chairman. A national control board telegram in part follows: "First decree federal courts sustaining dealers’ code. Permanent injunction obtained restraining Auto Sales Company, Memphis, Tenn., from violating code. Violation, transporting cars with speedometer disconnected. Decree means any future violations, dealers would be in contempt of federal court.” Mr. Robinson explains that preliminary plans have been made for aggressive enforcement in Indiana following the completion of the national program. Dealers have been asked to submit reports of suspected violations to the state board so that investigation may be completed by the time the campaign starts.

FREE BOOKLETS PROVE POPULAR Troy Oil Company Gives Away Information Abopt Gasoline. Believe it, or not, Tydol stations are "out-ripping” Ripley's popularity with their offering of a free booklet of amazing facts about gasoline, according to F. J. Schuster, President of the Troy Oil Company, distributor for Tydol and Veedol in this territory. Strange fact—houses lifted to mountain tops by a single gallon of motor fuel, a cross-the-continent drive on twelve gallons of gasoline —these and others make the booklet of absorbing interest to growmups as well as children. Cartoon illustrations depict the facts for those who prefer their entertainment in picture form. "The booklet fs educational as well as amusing.” said Mr. Schuster, “as it treats some of the chemical qualities of gasoline in a way that makes them interesting and perfectly understandable. If most motorists knew how easily carbon trouble could be avoided, and this booklet tells how, there would be a lot of smoother running motors in this section of the country.’ Sale of 25,000 new automobiles is predicted for Autsralia this year.

Sales of Higher Priced Ford Cars Register Gain
Trend Declared Indication That Prosperity Is Returning. Evidence of rapid betterment in economic conditions in this territory, as reflected by increased sales of higher priced models, is seen by Indianapolis Ford dealers, according to R. A. Hayes, branch manager, following an analysis of passenger car sales in the last month. "The Ford company's analysis, conducted throughout the national sales organization of the company, shows the general public to be buying automobiles that are beyond bare transportation requirements,” the dealers say. "There is a tremendous demand for Ford V-8 of the de luxe types, and a similar lessening in the demand for standard body types. This is a direct contrast to automobile buying in 1933. when standard types were in demand and de luxe cars sold in lesser numbers.” In this territory, they say, increased sales of the new de luxe Ford V-8 are plain indication of the fact that persons are buying “something just a little better,” and in greater volume. “Qur analysis show that people are not spending unwisely, and that they are careful about not wasting
their money,” the report continues. "They are, however, carefully choosing their products, weighing their values and are buying a product that is ‘just a little better’ than is needed for bare transportation.”

MOTORIST PAYS BULKJOFJAXES Non-Car Owner Escapes Additional Levy of $44 Yearly. By Timra Special NEW YORK, June 27.—American motorists pay taxes nearly twice as heavy as those paid by nonmotorists. While all citizens, including motorists. paid an average tax of $55.39 per capita, exclusive of motor taxes, in 1932, studies of the American petroleum industries committee show that owners of motor vehicles paid special additional taxes of $44.58 each. The total tax bill per motorist was $99.97. More than half this additional cost represented taxes upon motor fuel. Federal, state and local taxes aggregated $8,000,000,000 in 1932. according to estimates of the national industrial conference board. More than $1,000,000,000 was paid by the FISH FRY WILL OPEN Program for Annual Speedway Church Event Set. The Speedway Boulevard Methodist Episcopal church will have its sixth annual fish fry tomorrow, Friday and Saturday nights at Medford avenue and West Sixteenth street.

CALLS ALL-BRAN NATIONAL NATURAL LAXATJYE Delicious Cereal Checked Hia Constipation Hero is an unsolicited letter from Mr. Daniels: “For many years I have been habitually constipated, and have used all sorts of laxatives. So, in fairness to Kellogg’s All-Bran, I heartily claim it to he a most wonderful remedy for constipation. “Need I tell you that I have long since ceased using laxatives? Kellogg’s All-Bran is the National Natural Laxative. If it were used by every family in the United States for breakfast, we would have a much healthier race of people.”—Mr. John Daniels, 1090 Third St., North Bergen, N. J. Tests show Kellogg’s All-Bran furnishes “bulk” to exercise the intestines and vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. All-Bran also supplies iron for the blood. The “bulk” in All-Bran is much like that in leafy vegetables. Isn’t this food much pleasanter than risking pills and drugs? Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. If not relieved this way, sco your doctor. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer’s. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
