Owners of motor oars will carry
about one-fourth of the burden imposed
on the nation by the new bi I I ion-do 1 Iar
tax bill. This was shown today by a
United Press survey as pub I ished in the
Cleveland Press.
The American motorist will start
to pay these new rates June 21st. It is
estimated that 150 million dollars will
be raised out of the gasoline tax, 33
million in lubricating oil, 33 million
in tires and tubes, 32 million in new
motor cars, and so forth.

According to a dispatch in the

A 6-hour day for everybody, to
be estab I i o lied by federal law. This was
the idea proposed today by one of the
majors wno are in conference at Buffalo.
He said that strict national enforcement
of the 6-hour day would put a large

The Gorguloff Mystery is the
title of a fascinating article in the
new issue of the Literary uigest which
will be out tomorrow. It deals with the
personality of the Russian doctor who
assassinated the late President of
France.
Beyond the fact that
Gorguloff is a doctor, and his first
name is Paul, this po I i t i c a I
became enshrouded in mystery immediately
after his arrest. Is he a White
Russian, or a Red Russian? Russian
newspapers, both Bolshevik and
anti-boIshevik, debate the question
with excitement and animosity. The
executive Committee of the Third
International deny that Dr . *'Go rgu I of f
belongs to their party. They declare
that Gorguloff is a bitter enemy of
Communism.
The Digest quotes an
anti-Bolshevik*5* daily paper in Paris
in a very different sort of
description. Accordingto this paper

the homicidal doctor seems to be a polygamist. He married several
wives and omitted the formality of a divorce. This anti-Bolshevik
paper adds that one time when he was in Prague, the capital of
.y
Czechoslovakia, he showed his Communist Party membershio ticket to
the Czechoslovakian Police.
At any rate, itTs a puzzling, beguiling story*

For the past two years, he

But this
