She started W. c. f. L. work thirty
seven years ago. and succeeded Frances
Willard as president in 1898. She is also
vice president of the Worlds w. c. T. U.
She is unique i'm American state politics.
as she is probably the only woman rec
ognized as a state political leader. and
in Maine she is accorded that honor, be-
ing recognized as the prohibition leader.
She was in the thick of the we'll remem-
bered fight of last year. which ended in
victory for the "drys.'
Another woman who has led the anti
liquor forces is Mrs. Mary Harris Armor
of Eastman. Ga. and who will speak
here She is noted throughout the w. G.
T. L. as a prohibition spellbinder, and
does not object to that term be-
ing used Women everywhere give
her the credit for throwing the
liquor out of Georgia. One of her
principal achievements as spellbinder
was her successful appeal for $1,000 at
a meeting one night in Nashville. Money
was tight at the time and q panic was
on. Cash was hidden away in stockings
and refused to appear, and when Mrs
Armor announced she was going to raise
$1,000 every one smiled in derision. How
ever. she talked as few women have ever
talked before or since, and out of that
rock-ribbed, financially panic-stricken
Nashville crowd she coaxed $1,000.
Another Georgia woman who knows
the liquor question backward and for
ward is Mrs. T. e. Patterson OF Griffin.
Ga, president of the w. c. T. L. Of that
state. She has been working away for
a. dry state since 1900. and has held a
dozen state Offices.

Had no swAP GASOLINE.
abilene Autoists Couldn't Buy ANY
From Dealers.

"Giye me five gallons Of gasoline.
Guess that'll pull me through to-
day"
'.Nothing doing; all out" was the
~eply all the gasoline dealers In
Abilene gave the Abilene autoists
yesterday. Only one garage had q
supply Of gasoline and that was linn
tied. It was up to the motorists to
swap gasoline. Some Of the more
fortunate automobile owners had
plenty Of gasoline on hand and div
led up with their unfortunate bro
Tiers. In this way those who were
out we're supplied with enough gaso-
line to take their usual Sunday Joy
rirde.
Unless some immediate use is
found for the big supply OF kero-
sene the price Of gasoline may go
nm and the people who drive auto
mobiles are going to find It more
expensive. That is the opinion Of
General Manager Mcdonald of the
Standard Oil refinery at Neodesha.
Both kerosene and gasoline are dis
tiIled from crude oil. At the pres
emit time there is comparatively lit
tie demand for kerosene. Only q
limited amount Of the distillation
is gasoline. The greater portion Of
the remainder is Kerosene. There
a. a demand for every gallon Of gas
oiine that can be placed on the mar
ket. No refinery could afford to re-
fine crude oil for the gasoline alone.
Consequently. with the big demand
for gasoline and the slack demand
for kerosene, gasoline is being made
bear the burden of the whole oil
business.
II some engine we're invented that
would burn kerosene instead Of gaso-
Iine there would ge greater de-
mand for kerosene and that product
could carry its own burdens. Then
the price Of gasoline would 50 down.
nut until some inventive genius In
yeats such an engine as IL suggested
by Manager Mcdonald the price Of
gasoline will continue to- soar. i
