fporizfnE the Kerosene to Il sufficient
degree to permit OF its usa In an au-

the kerosene is conducted on Its way
to the motor. AS gasoline is neces-

The usefulness Of the device ~ pro-

which can be settled on only by con-

the sypstem can be depended on in
the same measure as the gasoline
system. 1t will readily be placed on

system In reliability, this would ma
terially reduce tho advantages Of

SCHOOLBOY SHOWS
FORM At HURDLES

The performance OF J, III, Crpniy,
of Episcopal High School, ,u the
gamos conducted by The Richmond
Light Infantry Blues and Niehmond
College Saturday has been overlooked,
and friend Of the young man calls
attention to II. In doing so he lays
stress OH the fact that Cronly equaled
the time made by Bob Eller In the
5o-yard hurdles. and Cronly. he says,
did not wear spiked shoes.
II has not been stated that Eiler
did either in this event. II IL claimed
By Eller's friends that tho Epiked
shoes were used IN the relay race In
order TO prevent slipping in making
the turns of the track. But the sus-
picion that Eller may have worn
spiked shoes In the hurdle race has
nothing to do with Cronly's perform
ance.
That Young man. whose home Ia In
Petersburg. not only equaled Eiler
time IN the scholastic race. but I'm
ished second TO the Georgetown hyer
In the collegiate race. Cronly was
entered In both the scholastic and col
iegiate 5o-yard hurdles, and In the
finals of the scholastic race was timed
In six seconds fat. In finishing sec
ond TO Eller in the collegiate event
he also was timed in Il small traction
over L seconds.
Cronly is a wonder over the sticks,
and by the time he has had the ex-
perience OF Eller he is likely to sur
pass even that great athletes per-
formances, spiked shoes and all.

THE BOURNE PARCEL POST BILL.

Simple in its provisions scientific in its schedule OF rates

for the Bourne parcel post BILL revised draft OF which was
introduced in the senate last Thursday.
The rates vary with the distance parcel is to be trans
ported and based upon careful computation of the actual
cost to the government with safe margin to insure against
operation at a loss.
Though the high enough to the cost to the
government they the lowest yet proposed.
Senator Bourne believes flat rate parcel post is unscien

TO the country merchants.
His bill therefore drawn with view to making the
charge in accordance with the service rendered. thus permit
ting shipment of articles short distances at low cost and
ectng merchants from the unjust competition of ngdstance
shipments at a rate below cost
Because the rates vary with distance the Bourne bill will
give the local merchant advantage in competition with the
catalogue house
The low rate of for the first pound and cent for
each additional pound for local and rural route delivery is
expected to build up large amount of business the pos

t is estimated that the profit from rural route parcel post
business will be several million dollars annually because requr

In the preparation of his BILL which he has spent many
months of study Senator Bourne has secured the cooperation of
the posoffce department and is understood that all
that the Bourne BILL if enacted will be sesupportng will not
congest the mails and will be so simple operation not to
embarrass the department in any way
