Mercury is the nearest of known
planets to King Sol. but Venus comes
next. and in eccentrcity of solar orbit
an eccentricity having an average OF
about 67.2OO,OOO miles-is the least ir-
regular of the planets The distance
OF Venus from our earth also varies
with an average or mean Of about %.
100000 miles at her nearest. the aver
age distance of Venus from our earth
being approximately 1G0,0OO.OOO miles
at her farthest.
Queen Venus may he called the plan.
ct twin Of our world. since her mean
diameter and that Of our earth are
nearly equal. Nevertheless the differ.
ence of some 300 miles in their diam

Rome, Nov. 23--Cardina1s-desi
John NJ. Farley and Diomede F'alconio

ed the rings of the new cardinals des1g-
nate, while many trav 5 and other
persons about the station joined IN en-
phasizing the cordiality of the recep-
ton. a characteristic note was given to
the occasion by some OF the clerlcal
suite carrying rolled American hags
bound with white and yellow ribbons,
the papal colors. The warmest ccngrat-
ulations and respectful greeting were
then presented to the two cardinals

rector of the American college in Rome,
Mgr. Dennis O'Connell, auxiliary Bish-

Here's a "Cure" for
Dull, Brittle Hair

Careless or improper treatment of
the scalp so often results in dull, brit
tie, 'stringy hair" says Mrs. Mae
Martyr, in the Baltimore Leader.
This is so easy to correct" she con-
tinues, that it is possible for every
woman to have beautiful hair, and an
abundance of it.
"a teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup hot water is sufficient
mixture for a thorough cleansing of
scalp and hair, and shampooing with
this is a positive delight. The can
throx mixture soothes, invigorates and
stimulates, and quickly brings about
a healthy condition, insuring a plenti-
full growth of silky hair, that doing it
up is pleasure you will thoroughly
enjoy"

CITY OWN GAS PLANT
Kansas City's Solution of Trouble Over
Situation.

Kansas City, Nov. 23.-Prepare for
municipal ownership of the city gas
plant If the city cannot raise the
/ money to take it over by the time nat
ural gas plays out, three years hence,
! tho n it will be prepared to go into court
to show how cheaply artificial gas can
be supplied by the gas company, as
the franchise provides. The plan to
lengthen the life of the natural gas
supply by raising the price won't do.
Such is the essence of a statement
issued yesterday afternoon by the pub
lie utilities commission after receiving
the report Of Prof. Erasmus Haworth
on the conditions in the gas fields. the
commissions statement follows:
The report of Prof. Erasmus Haworth
has been received by the commission and
it is a splendid piece of original research
work with complete details. The con-
clusion that he arrives at. that natural
gas will be available only for two or
three more winters, makes 1t incumbent
upon the city to Immediately begin to
prepare for the time when artificial gas
win have to be used.
Professor Haworth believes, and the
commission agrees with him, that 1t
would be idle to attempt to conserve the
supply OF natural gas by raising the
price, for the reason that the Kansas
Natural Gas company, with which We
have the contract, does not control the
natural gas fields but there are num-
Der of other companies interested, so that
in addition to the consent of the Kansas
Natural Gas company a large number OF
accord for 1t will be useless for the kan
sas Natural Gas company to restrict the
use of gas while other companies were
using it for manufacturing purposes
Moreover. other cities in Kansas and IN
Missouri and Oklahoma would have an
equal right as to whether they wish to
make demands for restriction, and all OF
these cities and industries would have to
be in accord, otherwise the Kansas
Natural Gas company could not afford
not to deliver gas for manufacturing pur-
poses 1t is therefore apparent to US that
it would be OF little avail TO Kansas City
to raise the price in order to conserve the
supply.
The commission will begin to gather in
formation for the use of Kansas City, so
that when the time comes, in two or
three years. when the price of artificial
gas is to be fixed the city will be pre-
pared with the information necessary to
determine whether or not the city should
then take over the property within Kan
sas City and itself furnish gas to its
inhabitants, or whether 1t should permit
the present company to furnish artificial
gas at price to be determined by the
circuit court as provided in the fran
chise
1.-THE report of the gas fields was or
dered that the people of Kansas City
might know the conditions" Mayor
Brown said yesterday, following the
receipt of the report. 1T is now up to
them whether they want the franchise
of the gas company revoked or not
will do, for my part, whatever they de-
sire in this matter"

their willingness that the CITY pl1rchase

estimated at between $4,000 and 100000
Commissioner Gable said that the GEM
