Second, men and women who do

All unbelief must be accounted

This "torture test" car travels drier lhan a camel! Just to prove that an automohlle, Kith a crankcaae
full of the new 100 Pennsylvania grades of MobUolL can get along nlrely without water, this weird car,
which la traveling up and down the Padflo coast for Standard Oil Company of California, put on a aeries

ONRUSHING FIRE
OF LOS A. SUBURB
(Continued from page one)
The wind saved tne city of La Cres
cents, neighbor community of Tu
junga, and sent the flames racing
over a mountain divide and down
upon the latter city.
The United States forestry service,
the county fire warden's crews and
the city fire departments of neigh
boring towns, Including the city of
Los Angeles, were aiding In fighting
the fire.
Hysteria Prevail!.
Boenes of hysterical confusion were
enacted at Tujunga as the flames
spread In the town. Many residents
abandoned all their possessions and
fled, while others had to be dragged
from the scene by firemen as the for
mer sought to carry away their valuables.
L. D. Hotchktss, assistant managing
editor of the Los Angelee Times and
resident of Tujunga, was among
those who were forced to flee their
homes.
At least eight of the homes de
stroyed were pretentious dwellings of
wealthy residents who had located In
Tujunga for the dry, mild climate of
the 8000 feet altitude.
Halts Shelter Families.
The American Legion hall and sev
eral public buildings were being
thrown open to frightened ohlldren
and women, but how long these build
ings would remain outside of the
danger isone was problematical.
First aid stations were kept busy
dressing the burns of many of the
3000 fire fighters, the majority of
whom were residents who volunteered
to stem the red tide.
Prom Los Angeles the fire, approxi
mately 20 miles distant, appeared as
long crimson ribbon extending
down the mountainside.
The smoke from the blnne all but
blotted out the early morning sunrise
over Hollywood.

PROJECTION FOR
BY NRA RULING
PORTLAND. Protection for tfce
consumer against unscrupulous mer
chants who blame exaggerated price
increases on the NRA program, wa
outlined in an official statement to
day from Washington officials of the
National Recovery Administration.
The statement follows:
"A legal opinion has been secured
in response to the practice of selling
organizations In showing on their in
voices Items claimed to be chargeable
on account of the NRA. This opinion
is repeated for your information:
"'After an Investigation on the
subject of NRA Increment I am pleas
ed to advise as follows:
" The Bureau of Internal Revenue,
Washington, D. C, has not had the
matter presented to it for a ruling
propf. They advised us, however,
that on the face of It the NRA "in
crement" is not legal. Likewise, It
has not come under any of their rul
ings concerning misrepresentation as
regards governmental taxes. Conse
quently, It Is a Jurisdictional problem
that resides In the NRA.
"Our general view of the. matter
may toe stated as follows: The "in
crement" usage. If unchecked, may
lead to an accounting system of vici
ous abuses that are contrary to the
spirit and the Intent of the NIR-A
If unchecked, at each process prices
will be enhanced; so that the ultimate
consumer will be forced to pay un
bearably high prices. The reason Is
that if a blank sum called "lncre'
ment" is added, there is no check
upon the propriety and reasonableness
of such additions.
" 'Some of them may be exagger
ated; as, where inventory on hand,
enhanced efficiency that offsets ad
vances necessitated by codes, or in
creased volume, offset increases aris
ing under codes. Others may be Jus
tifiable by an actual increase necessi
tated by the operation of a code 07er
and above the sum entailed in the
processing tax.
" "The significant factors we would
stress are the following:
" 'I. No blank amount should be
inserted In any Invoices that employ
the term "NRA Increment" or any
other related item, as a so-called ad
dition arising by virtue of the opera
tion of a code.
" '3. Where increased prices are de
sired, the matter should be adjusted
between the parties concerned by di
