New York, Aug. 13. Anna Held, th.
noted actress, died Monday in her apart
ments at the Hotel Savoy.
The popular little French actress had
made a gallant fight against death for
nearly six months. She suffered from
a rare bone disease, but ' finally suc
cumbed to pneumonia, contracted 10
days ago. Many tiroes during her ill
ness hope was almost abandoned, but
her strong vitality and continual cheer
fulness in the face of great, suffering
brought rally after rally. Until she was
stricken, with pneumonia hers was ex
pected to be one of the few recorded
cases of recovery from the malady
from which she suffered.

Fountain Drinks and
"Pop" May Be Taxed
Washington, Aug. 13. The house '
ways and means committee Monday vot-
ed to tax ice cream soda, sundaes and ;
other delicacies sold at soda fountains i
at the rate of 2 cents for each 10 cents '
or fraction thereof. In addition to this ,
the committee adopted a, 10 pes cent tax
on bottled soft drtnks to be paid by the
manufacturers. L'ndr this system
, wl i placed In a safe, solitary cell. j
"If I had been given just five min
utes more before I was captured," re
marked Thompson on the way to the
penitentiary, "I would have boarded the ;
boat across the river and then would j
have taken to the brakebcaras of the ;
Seatttle freight train. After 1 got to
Seattle I could easily beat my way on j
north into Canada. And I'll bet you j
can't guess whnt I would Iiave done
after I got to Canada. 1 would Join the
Canadian forces and then I would like :
to see you fellows try to get me back. :
You sure would have some time trying
it. believe me."
Iloat Obtained In St. Johns
When asked how he made it all the
way' to Rainier, Thompson replied;
"Well, Thurher and I escaped together
by swimming through the hole in the
bars under the water's surface i.-. the
flume. We then hiked to Malloy along
, i-Ui. Orrgftn Electric line and then walked
, to Oswego, where we rested for a short
time. Then we hit the trail for Mil-
waukie and finally separated at Lents
Thurber got caught, 1 know, but I got !
to St. Johs in Portland and obtained I
a ro wl)oat which took me to L,innton. I
have been hitting the trails in the hills I
and through the woods ever since all I
the way to Rainier." j
"There was one thing that I told Thur
" ber not to do." Thompson went on. "I
told him never under any consideration
td travel in the day time. 1 did just the '
rangements and to decide upon the plot ; bottled soft drinks will have to bear
both the manufacturers' tax and the re-
tail sales tax of 10 cents or more. j

actress. This information came today
in a telegram from Charles F. Hanlon

Boiling Rants Cmviiylesi
Boiling points are the real test of gasoline val
ue. The old gravity test tells nothing about the
carbureting and combustive qualities of gaso
line. Boiling points are vaporizing points. Ia
straight-distilled, all-refinery Red Crown gaso
line they form a continuous, uniform chain.
Combustion starts with the lowest boiling
points and flashes on through the medium to
the highest. The complete chain is necessary
for instantaneous, full -powered combustion
Eliminate one link and the power chain is ,
broken.
Red Crown, the Gasoline of Quality, has the
full and complete chain of boiling points nec
essary for steady, dependable power: Low boil
ing points for easy starting, medium boiling
points for quick and smooth acceleration, and
high boiling points for power and mileage.
Look for the Red Crown sign before you fill.
