GASOLINE RESERVE GROWS The prediction was made a few months ago that the price of gasoline might be advanced to 50 cents a gallon before the expiration of another year. Such an advance is possible, but it is not probable in the light of figures given out by the United States bureau of mines. The recent report of the bureau shows that cn March 1 there was a gasoline reserve of

818.500.CC0 gallons in the United States, an in

crease of 18.000.COO gallons over the stocks held

on May 1 last year. . It is estimated that the

reserve stock may reach a billion gallons before

the summer demand is on. Officials of the bureau do not give any indication of the source of this huge stock of gasoline, the largest ever held in this country, and

consumers generally will probably be satisfied to beieve that there is not likely to be a shortage of easoline for use in their automobiles and

trucks this year.

Experiments have been made and are being

made to secure substitutes for gasoline in com bustion engines, but they have only been parti ally successful, and there is little reason to be

lieve that gasoline will be displaced soon by any other motor fuel. This fact makes it important that the supply be maintained at as large a level as possible. , The report of the officials of the United States bureau of mines seems to be encouraging as far as this year's consumption of gasoline is concerned, and the production may be expected to meet a considerable part of the current needs, thereby conserving a portion of the surplus stocks now held. The supply may not have everything to do with the price, but that it another matter. :

commended itself to the best thought of the

American people. At first thought it might seem that those sections of the country from which spring the various associations, institutes, committees and clubs which sent their delegates to Washington to bless the ship subsidy bill and speed it on its way have but little direct concern with the fate of an American merchant marine. That, however, is a fallacy which the delegates themselves had no difficulty in exposing. In the maintenance of American trade routes on the seven seas they foresee a readier foreign trade, increased exports and the consequent stimulation of industry in every part of the country.

There is much to be said in favor of the con-

tention put forward by these enterprising and wide-awake business men for the use of practically every American port for foreign shipping instead of congesting it all in a limited number of cities. The shortening of the haul in land transportation is an element of great importance to manufacturers and exporters whose plants are located far in the interior if they are to be enabled to compete on approximately equal terms with others more advantageously situated as regards the point of departure of the great ocean routes. That is a point that deserves, and no doubt will receive, the earnest attention of the shipping board. In the meantime the board is to be congratulated, on the strength and character of. the new allies who have ' come forward in support of its policies. .

SEE NEED FOR SHIP SUBSIDY Unanimous approval cf the ship subsidy bill voiced before the joint congressional committee by representatives of numerous interior commercial organizations is not the least significant symptom of the extent to which that measure

LIQUOR IN PAST TENSE Some critics think it strange that the newest edition o an American encyclopedia should refer to the liquor business and its appurtenances in the past tense. Why not? It is gone. It might appeal to some persons as curious that the editors of the publication should say in connection with the wine industry "We had in the eastern states and in California all the opportunities for success," or that "the whiskey upon which the reputation of Kentucky so largely depended was that kind of liquor known as sour mash." But a second's thought shows that the book-maker was quite up to his job and was guided by accuracy in stating the case. Just why some persons think that the "old days" will return is not clear? . Certainly the sentiment on the question, if changing at all, has not changed sufficiently to warrant any hope that the decree of the constitution will be upset. For one thing, the mechanics of the thing are too difficult and more appropriately there is not sufficient public opinion to get the mechanics into motion. , The real question is not the modification of prohibition or its repeal, but its enforcement. There is a growing conviction that the job is not mountainous at all if real sincere judges, prosecutors and investigators are on the job. The attack, will not be on prohibition. It will be on those charged with its enforcement.

Two large industries are reported as seeking sites for plants in Hammond. Ernest Terson, a survivor of the Titanic disaster, reached Indiana Harbor yesterday. He saw his sister and baby drown and he himself clun to an overturned boat until morning when he was picked up by the lifeboat in which Mrs. John Jacob Aator had been rescued. The U. S. Steel Corp. has appropriated $18,000 to build an extension of the E. J. & E. railroad to the sjte of the Baldwin Locomotive "Works.

Reports at various times to A. H. Hinkle, superintendent of maintenance, show that in southern Indiana some state roads were inundated as often as six times during March and April. Where roads are of rigid types, little if any damage was done highway officials say. In cases of gravel,' stone and earth roads, these types did not so well withstand (inundation, arid the swift current of the flood waters damaged some considerably. Word today from several of the flood districts brings the cheerful word that high waters are rapidly receding, and streams which a few days ago were swollen and far out of their banks, are again back to normal channels. The maintenance .department is prepared to put a large force of men at work repairing the damage Just as soon as it la consistent to begin, Lawrrce Lvons.

INDrcrTAFOLIS, IX.D. April 2S

Steps were taken today by the state highway commission for making a

survey of the damage wrought to

state roads and bridges as a result of the heavy recurring-rainfall during th cast six weeks, and from

flood waters in various sections of

Indiana.

Blanks were sent to all district engineers and sunerlntendents with

Instructions to report promptly to

the commission the damage done in

each of the thirty-one districts In

to which the state road system is

divided.

Information so far reaching the

commission shows that several brio.

pes of obsolete typa were carried from their moorings by flood waters. Some washed as far as 200 feet down stream and In one Instance a bridge turned over and now rests upside down at the stream's bank.

Mr. Hinkle specifies tTiat reports

on the flood damage should be in bis

office not later than May 1. District engineers will make a , summary of the reports and forward them with the superintendents' re-, ports to the commission's offices.

In this manner it is believed a com

plete and accurate survey of road

conditions will be before the com

mission within a very short time, and there will be no delay by the maintenance and bridge departments

in putting state roads back into shape for resumption of traffic

AT THE BIJOU What would ye modern Lochinvar do these days if he had to call in a gentleman's hair-dresser to comb his jet b'ack tresses every time he want

ed to call upon his lady love Tet that's exactly what happened during the reign of King Louis XIII And that's also exactly what happened to Douglas Fairbanks every morning during the filming of ' The Three Muakateers next week's feature at the Bijou theatre. As D'Artagnan. hero of this famous Alexander Duma's story, Doug. Is all dressed up a-la-Se-venteenth Century, in long balr, knee pants, high boots and long sword. The work of getting into this regalia has caused him to appreciate and recommend modern garb vera vera much. T don't see how they did it." he

said.' comparing modern atyles with those of bygone dys. "How any man could take two valuable hours out of a day to caSdle himself Into such clothes Is. too deep for And an hour to comb a wig. The man who did the heary work on the Fairbanks' halrcomblng Job is Zan Zak, professional hair dresser and wig-maker. For an hour each day he fussed with, Doug wis to get the kinks out of It. The first time Doug had to stand for this it was almost necessary to tie him down. Finally, ths diffloulty was somewhat overcome iby 'first placing the wig ea the head of a wax dummy and doing the preliminary work there. "io wonder the Chinese out off their queues," said Doug. However . ro one can deny, according to the manager of the Bijou theatre that the picturesque costumes and elaborate hair combs displayed In this feature do much to make It one of the most colorful and romantic photoplays ever known.
