SOME FACTS ABOUT GASOLINE.

SOME FACTS ABOUT GASOLINE.
The following are extracts from
Q Gasoline Bulletin issued by the
Fire Prevention Committee, Cham
Der of Commerce, Rochester, N. r.:
"A pint Of gasoline left open in a
basin in room at normal or aver
age temperature will entirely evap-
crate in twenty-four hours. The
gasoline vapor Is heavier than the
air and sinks Immediately to the
floor, and unless 1t is disturbed by
active air current will remain in
the room for many hours. One
pint Of gasoline will make two hum
dred cubic feet Of explosive mixture.
Without becoming too scientific, 1t
may be said that this gasoline vapor
is seven times more, powerful than
gunpowder.
Every gasoline explosion and fire
that occurs in the home is due to
ignorance and carelessness on the
part Of the user. Gloves must be
cleaned, fabrics must be dipped in
gasoline or alcohol. For that reason
it is vitally important that the users
should have all the information pos
sible about the danger incurred.
Gasoline should be used in open
air wherever possible. but II it must
be used in the house, all the win
dOws should be opened wide and q
sufficient draft created to drive all
the vapor from the room. II is al
most criminal to use gasoline In the
Kitchen or other rooms where II is
exposed to fire. The vapor has been
known to jump thirty-feet from
tank in the open air and explode
with such violence as to wreck the
stan1 car and burn all the buildings
in the neighborhood.
II is not necessary to touch
match to Il. A spark from the heel
Of shoe striking a tack or nail Will
explode the vapor. A lighted gas
jes will produce the same result.
Keep gasoline away from every kind
OF flame. even II that flame Is en-
closed as in a stove or furnace.
Articles dipped. washed or soaked
- gasoline give off an explosive va
Per for hours after. They should
- thoroughly aired before being
sa and aiways kept away from ex-
Dsssd flaue.

DAY TO BE OBSERVED
X. s. A. @. Professor Says Kansas
Needs More Sorghum.

Manhattan, Feb. 3.-More sor-
ghum crops should be grown in west
ern Kansas, the agricultural college
believes. If cane, kafir and milo
were planted more generally in the
place of some crops that are less
drouth-resistant, farmers in the
western counties could better de-
pend on their crops. For this rea-
SON Edward G. Johnson, superin-
tendent of farmers institutes at the
Kansas agricultural college, has ask
ed every one of the 400 farmers
institutes in Kansas to observe
Sorghum Day." February Is. He
has suggested these topics for dis
cussion on that day: What are the
sorphums. and why are they es-
pecially valuable crops. in Kansas?
What types and varieties are best
suited to this locality? Why? What
are the soil requirements of sor-
ghums and when and how should
the seed bed be prepared? Give
complete discussion of and reasons
for your methods of planting and
cultivating the sorghum crop. How
should sorghum seed be selected,
tested and handled? Compare sor-
ghums and corn for feed and for
silage.

Gets Freedom ON Approval of Bond
of $4,000.
is SEVENTH DYNAMITER FREED
Thought Prison Rules q Little Hard
But Said They We're Neces-
sary-Preside Over the
Union Tuesday.

Leavenworth, Feb. 3.-Frank M.
Ryan, president of the international
Iron Workers union, serving q sem
tence on conviction Of conspiracy to
transport dynamite in interstate
commerce, was released from the
federal penitentiary here on $4,000
bond yesterday afternoon. He was
met by e. N. Nockles, secretary OF
the Chicago branch of the Fedora
tion of Labor and the two boarded
the first trolley for Kansas City,
where they took an evening train
for Chicago. Ryan is the seventh
of the thirty-three convicted at In
dianapolis to be released on bond.
The release of John H. Barry, st.
Louis. sentenced to four years, and
Paul ]. Morton of st. Louis, three
years, also was expected today, but
their papers did not arrive. 1t is
believed that District Attorney Mil
ler will pass upon their bonds on
Tuesday.
President Ryan had made pre-
parations for his leavetaking. He
was cheerful and appeared in good
health. He expressed desire to
eat his dinner at the pen, and was
granted permission to say goodbye
to two of his fellow labor leaders.
Later he was driven up town In the
motor car Of newspaper man, ac-
companied by Secretary Nockles. He
chatted freely about matters in gen.
eral, but had little to say of his
case.
There is nothing much that 1
could say of interest" replied Presi-
dent Ryan, in request for a state
ment. He said he had no complaint
to make Of his treatment at the
pen. The rules had seemed to be a
little hard, he said, but he knew
they were necessary.
''will you preside at the meeting
of your men on Tuesday night in
Chicago?"
/. '.T certainly will II the boys wish
it," replied Ryan.

REPuRLTCAN HARMoNY.

The action OF the Kansas Day
club in adopting resolutions pledg-
ing the members to willingness to
get together with all factions Of
the Republican party and look to
the future, rather than to the past,
was one worthy Of commendation.
Nothing is better established than
that 1t does not pay to keep books
in politics. Conditions and person
aIities change and the situation Of
yesterday becomes an entirely DIFF
ferent one today. In matters OF gov
ernment, which are the basis Of po-
litical action, the problems Of the
future are the ones that directly
interest the voter and he should
look to the future, rather than to
the past, as the Kansas Day club
expresses II.
Over 1900 Republicans were pres
ent at the meeting, It being the larg-
est in the history Of the organiza-
tion, and there was hearty good
will and Q fine spirit Of cheer in all
its addresses and actions. The reso-
Iutions were introduced BY National
Committeeman Fred Stanley. express
better than anything that has been
said in Kansas the idea on which
should be based the reorganization
Of the Republican party to fit pres
ent conditions. They call for q re-
apportionment Of the delegates to
the national convention on the basis
Of actual vote and expressed viii
lingness to give and take with the
element which terms itself PRO
gressive" in uniting for the better
ment OF the government service.
Every progressive law on the
books has been passed by
the Republican legislators in state
and congress, and no reason exists
why, with practically no difference
In ambition, the party should re-
main in two antagonistic factions,
rather than getting together and
with their usual majorities in Kan
sas and in the nation as whole.
dictate the legislation of the fu-
ture, rather than leave 1t to the
democracy. This is not only good
politics, but it is good sense, and
The Kansas Day club exhibited its
usual wisdom in taking this stand.
There is no need of Progressive
party in Kansas and the hearty en-
thusiasm of the Kansas Day club
with its large attendance and its
body Of men is EVIL
lence that the Republican party Is
not going to die simply because OF
he events Of the past year. 1t is
now up to the so-called "progres-
sives" to come half way and we
shall see Kansas Republican triu-
Dhant in 1914, in every county and
district of the state.

European Vaudeville Success.

The vaudeville act of Jean Beau

another attraction we'll worth see
ing. Beaugere is an impersonator
without an equal on the vaudeville
stage. His past record shows
what he has done, and the manner
IN which he carries out his acts
over the Pantages circuit shows
what he still is. He shows in no
less than dozen different charac-
tiers, and he has a new make up
Tor every part. His change of
tace IS one of the most marvellous
things about his act, and Beaugere
has been the hit of the season by
long odds.
The management of the Rustic
IS very fortunate in securing this
act.
