BALTIMORE, November 22.—Auto- mobilists of Maryland are stirred by the proposal of a tax of 1 cent on every gallon of gasoline used for motor cars. While there is but little difference of public opinion, appar- ently, over the justness of the tax, the feasibllity of Imposing it is being Questioned. H. M. Lucius, secretary of the Auto- mobile Club of Maryland, said While he had not had time lo give the matter detailed study and was not in' position to speak in a representa tive capacity, he personally favored This nationally known 3135 washing machine For Thanksgiwing—Nunnally’s | %P,‘ TTH all the family gathered together in the & spiritof the day, Nunnally’s becomes a necessity. Nothing is more enjoyable after the Thanksgiving The many attractive e deliciousness of the candy itself—the popular price at which it is sold—all serve to make Nunnally’s the gift supreme —and a welcome guest wherever it visits. The “Box Bountiful”’—the “My personal view,” he sald, “is that the 1 per cent tax on gasoline is the most equitable way of charg- ing motorists for the wear and tear of the roads for which they are re- sponsible.

That should be en- tirely eliminated, or else it should be reduced to the actual cost of the registration tags.

It largely governs the starting speed of your motor and the richness of the mixture you have to use. For steady power that enables you to creep alolig in traffic or whirl up steep grades without a lot of gear shifting your : motor fuel must have high flame speed and a high rate of pressure development.
