A device has been adopted by the Grand

telescoping Of cars in wrecks and col
lisions The device is said 10 he very
PRACTICAL as well as simple. consisting Of
two steel keys Hanged az both top and
bottom. passing through the centre Of the
body and the truck holsters. The engi-
neers claim that by locking the body Of
the car to the truck the additional weight
in itself will prevent the body from rising

Financing Conditions.

Tho present condition of the bond mar
kct does not invite financing beyond the
needs Of corporations, particularly the
railroads. and IT is reasonable 10 suppose
that until the money market improves
and interest IN investments is awakened
financing movements will be conserved.
The restricted situation is shown in the
issuing Of short-time notes instead Of
bonds. as the expectation is that in anoth-
or wear or so bonds will sell at sutfi-
GENTLY higher price TO warrant the pay
mcnt from per cent TO : per cent for
short-time accommodations. In certain
sections Of the country the bond bust
ness is very good, but in the East the
depression is very marked. For the in
weston. however, the present is good
time 10 pick up bargains in high class
bonds giving a relatively high income
Weld. II is one Of the times when the
public has the better OF the bargain.

Gas Standards.

4 conference was held Thursday after
noon in the office of the upstate Public
Service Commission in regard TO the pres
ent gas standards Of the state. Commits
sioners from the 1st and I'd districts
were present. Experience has shown that
the present gas standards OF the state.
applying as they do 10 all localities, ire
spcctive OF local conditions. are very in
flexible and prevent many communities,
particularly small ones. from obtaining
gas supplied from larger adjacent com
munites. To meet existing standards. all
forms Of artificial gas must be enriched,
which AT present is very expensive pro-
cess In numerous places in the state
forms of gas which could be used with
great economy by the public cannot be
used until enriched. The Joint committee
on oalorimetry appointed by the % Dis
triet Commission has been studying the
subject Of gas standards for more than
three years, and it's report is practically
completed. II was decided BY unanimous
vote Of all present that IL would be ex-
ceedingly advantageous TO the interests
OF the people Of the state II the two
Public Service commissions were given
