SOLID PETROL A SECRET

The recent discovery of a
method for solidifying petrol so
that Vt may be slowed in a small
SPADE and rendered harmless in the
handling is destind to mark the
beginning Of a revolution in the
use of petroleum and its COM
pounds. The discovery was ar
nounced last November. but it
was only recently that the new
compound passed from the realm
of experiment into the one of
commercial use. London is the
birthplace of the new compound.
Solid petrol has the appearance
of dirty ice. 1t is carried in lamps
in neat box at the side of the car
and this small box will carry a
quantity of solid petrol cor
responding to 40 gallons in the
liquid state. A small block of
petrol the size of brick is equal
to an ordinary gallon tin. 1t is
perfectly safe in the handling,
and when ignited burns with
steady glow. similar to the flame
of a candle. 1t does away entirely
with the carburctor, which often
proves troublesome. When the
the question of the internal
combustion engine for Dread
noughts beco mes more prominent.
this new substance should figure in
the solution Of the fuel problem.
The merchant marine as well
as the battle-ship of the future,
will be fitted up with large solid
petrol bunkers, which will store
suffi lent of this fuel tn carry a
vessel around the world Even if
the bunk re should be pierced by
a shot it is doubtful whether the
solid petrol would be set on fire.
The exact composition of the
new compound is kept secret. 1t
is believed to contain 80 per cent
of the ordinary pc troll, some soapy
matter and | per cent of
foreign substance, which renders
it solid. Not only will it hasten
the time when battle-ships and the
merchant marine will be h allied
with joy by the users of auto
mobiles, autom obiles trucks and
steam engines in industrial
pursuit. The doing away with the
carburetor will prove to lie the
most welcome innovation of all.

CURING BAD HABITS

In large eastern city is a pro-
fessional hypnotlst who has ar ideal
reputation for curing The habit of
intemperance. His method is dirt
simple.
"There is no real hypnotism
about it unless it is matter of
self hypnotism." this professor
once said. II simply observe the
mind process of the man that
drinks and advise him how to
reverse it. The subconscious
soliloquy in the mind of the man
that drinks runs something like
this: when did have my last
ball. Whew! Long as that!
don't see how / stood l. 50 long.
Wouldn't have thought it possible. 1"
And so on the victim reprst to
himself on the principle that he
need this periodical Btinlulant just
as it Is necessary to heap coal on
to fire to keep it from burning
out. In a word, that man self
hypnotizes himself into the belief
that he needs drink.
my advice to cure this craving
is not to fight the appetite, but to
fight down the Causes that lead to
the appetite. Let a man repeat
to himself over and over again:
II really don't need this drink, If
take it. it's simply matter Of
pouring so much down my throat
superhuously for ! could get along
without Before long he will be
surprised how instead Of hypnotic
ing himself into drink he will
hypnotic himself out OF it."
Simple. isn't it. But If this self
hypnotism or whatever you choose
to call it is cure for in
Temperance why is il not equ ally a
recipe for curing other bad
habits? Chicago Tribune.

Chamber of Commerce to
Consider Milk Stations.

The special meeting Of the executive
committee of the Chamber Of Com
merce to consider Washington's facili-
ties for furnishing free pure milk to
babies in poor families will be held
next Tuesday.
In view of the fact that there will be a
meeting Of the membership OF the

together on that date. as 1t is probable
some action will be recommended to
the full meeting.
The call for the executive committee
meeting was made at the request OF
Isaac Cans, a member of the board OF
directors According to Mr.. Cans, the
matter is an urgent one. not only be-
cause of the necessity that Washing
tonians should understand what the
milk situation is as regards the free
supply of modified or whole milk, but
because the directors have been un-
der a misapprehension concerning the
existence of a committee which was
to report on the proposal of George NJ.

baby milk stations.
No committee of the chamber has

put his offer into effect. now having
all four stations in operation. With
these stations. he declares. he is equip
ped for furnishing milk to all the poor
babies in Washington.
Tuesdays meeting of the executive
committee will be for the purpose OF
clearing up the matter as far as the
chamber 10 concerned. and also of con-
stdering means for enlightening the
public in regard to the entire situation.

SERVICE ON RAILROADS
IN MEXICO RESUMED
Reports as to Devastation
From Earthquake Appar-
emily Were Exaggerated.

MEXICO CITY, June 1O.-Service on

which was interrupted by landslides
caused by the recent earthquakes. was
resumed today. Telegraphic communi-
cation with the districts surrounding CO.
lima volcano also has been restored.
Fear that the railroad tunnels had been
obstructed proved groundless.
The failure of news of widespread
devastation to come through to the cap
ital following the re-establishment of
communication with the affected districts
is leading to the belief that the serious
ness of the earth shocks has been greatly
overestimated in some reports.
The railroad agents have not reported
to headquarters any serious damage to
their lines. nor have appeals for aid been
received by the authorities here from
those points which, according to rumor.
have suffered severely.
