gasoline?
The gasoline your motor actually burns mea
sures the power and mileage you get per gallon.
If it is "near kerosene" doctored up with casing
head gasoline, your motor cannot and does not
completely burn all of the heavier elements
the "clinker" part.
That's why much of the cut quality gasoline
sold, turns out to be an expensive fuel when
you check its actual power and mileage perform
ance against full quality, full price gasoline.
Balanced RED CROWN GASOLINE contains
no "clinkers." It burns up completely gives
you all the power and all the mileage your pas
senger car, truck or tractor can iet from com
pletely refined gasoline. It givet you less dilu
tion of crankcase oil. It is free from sulphur
compounds which attack metals and from tar
which sticks valves and pist:;n rings and
otherwise reduces the mechanical efficiency
and power of the motor.
For dependable power and econ
omy, use clean burning, high power

MAYTAIR VS. FONTAINEBLEAU
If Alfonso definitely chooses France
as his permanent place of exile, it
will probably be due to none other
than materialistic reasons. The ex
King is a rich man, and, as the Man
chester Guardian puts it. "however
delightful England may be to kings
in exile as well as other people, there
iooms over this merry land the dark
ioud of the income tax." Foreign
ers who live in England more than
i three months are subject to heavy
duties, and the effect has been to
; drive away wealthy Americans w ho
used to indulge themselves in the lux
ury of keeping a house or fiat in Eon-
subject to a surtax of nearly 50 per
cent. France, which came out ot the
war in better shape than England,
is more lenient in its tax provisions.
Hence. Fontainebleau or the Riviera
is likely to see more of Alfonso than
Mayfair.
MR. MELLON SPEAKS
That was a disappointing speech
of Secretary Mellon's on Tuesday at
the luncheon to the foreign bankers
attending the International Chamber
of Commerce conference. One search
es the text in vain for a single strik
ing idea. There are thousands of
business men in the country, un-
! known to fame, who could have made
the same speech, which was simply
a recognition of the depression as one
of the most extensive the world has
known. There was no effort to search
out the causes of the breakdown or
to propose a cure. In perfunctory
language, the genesis was fixed in
the destruction of hectic aftermath
of the World War. As for remedy,
the platitudinous assurance that it
could not be accomplished by any
j quick or easy method, or by any gov
ernmental or specially commissioned
authority, but only by the genius of
individuals, with time, the great rec
tifier, as their ally.
Such a message might be accept
able from the mute, inglorious Mil
tons, but something more, it seems
to us, was propertly expected from
Mr. Mellon. For he is of the elect.
He is one of the leaders of this mir
aculous industrial age. He is account
ed one of the world's richest men.
As head of the Treasury Department
he has been boundlessly praised for
his acumen in the administration of
the nation's finances. American busi
ness judgment has held him to be
the country's ablest public servant
since March , 1921. Almost every
body has been confidentially inform
ed at some time or other that the
golden renaissance of the Coolidge
market was largely attributable to
the sagacious counsel of this out
standing Cabinet officer. The faith
prevailed that with Mr. Mellon ai
the helm all was well.
That comforting belief has, of
course, been shattered; but if his of
ficial wizardry is now in something
of an eclipse, the fact remains that
he is a financier and industrialist of
the very first rank, and he, if any
one, ought to be able to analyze this
depression, which he has watched in
studious silence for two years, and
ought to have arrived at some con
clusion of originality and force. We
find but one faintly dissenting senti
ment from his lifelong philosophy as
a Pennsylvania protectionist. Re
marking that the "trade of the world
must settle into new channels and
will increase in volume, notwith
standing tariffs and other barriers,"
he confesses:
We have all come to a realiz
ation of the fact that, if world
trade is to be built up. there
must be give and take among
nations.
Though the one is cautious, the
utterance is in much the same key as
the recent high-tariff disavowals of
Messrs. Atterbury, Snell and the first
edition of Barnes. That is all Mr.
Mellon has brought back from his
silent wandering in the wilderness.

THE "PILL"
Could the sachems of the Dakotas,
or any leaders and sages of the van
ished Indian tribes, ever have dream
ed that their practice of smoking to
bacco would one day have submerged
and conquered the world? It is not
likely. Especially could they not
have dreamed that its most popular
fortn would come to be expressed not
in pipe but in the use of small cylin
drical tubes of paper, filled with the
gift of the Great Spirit.
Cigarette smoking was popular
and widespread before the war, but
since that time the use of the ciga
rette has far outdistanced all other
tobacco forms. The gain has been
tremendous in this respect.
According to statistics gathered by
a New York economist, in cigarette
consumption in the United States
during 1930 about 346,000.000
pounds of tobacco were used. This
would make about 120,000,000,000
cigarettes, or nearly 80 per cent of
the $450,000,000 paid in taxes to the
Government by the tobacco industry
during the fiscal year of 1930.
The war caused the increase in this
form of smoking. Less expensive sig
arettes were manufactured and used.
Women generally took up smoking,
and they preferred the cigarette.
If. says the authority quoted, the
production of the "pill" maintains
the same rate of increase during the
next decade that it showed in the
last, the total cigarette consumption
by 1940 will reach 300,000.000,000.
Those interested in figures may
estimate the value of the cigarette
trade and business in America, if they
be fond of calculation. The propa
ganda against its use seems not to
have halted the habit perhaps it has
served to increase it.
-:o:-
Mr. Mellon's remarks on the busi
ness situation in America and the
world amount to the statement that
conditions will improve when every
fellow gets down to business and does
his utmost to bring the desired
change.

died Thursday at Scituate, Mass. Mrs.
Mann married Thomas Maun In
1SC6. She was 26, he 70. For 65
years the United States Government
contributed to her support. The War
of 1812 was a little war; even so, it
cast a leng financial shadow.
It was not until 1906 that we fin
ished paying for the Revolutionary
War, although the last surviving vet
eran died in 1S69 at the age of 109.
The last widow. Esther S. Damon,
died in Vermont in 1906 at the age
of 92. Civil War widows are still a
numerous clan. As of June 30, 1929,
181,000 were still on the payroll. It
is estimated that the twentieth cen
tury will be drawing to a close be
fore the last Civil War widow dies.
Scientists have spent a great d-al
of time pondering the effect of goats'
milk and other substances on long
evity. They might turn their atten
tion to the remarkable influence of
pensions.
