All Day Monday the gas pressure
hung around the pound mark on
the belt line pressure and two
ounces on the low, and today is
anything. The pressure is lower
on the high but slightly increased
on the low. During the night the
pressure raised and gas consumers
we're able to secure all the gas they
wanted and more too. The glass
plant is shut down indefinitely, that
is until the gas famine is over,
whether it lasts for one day or one
week. An immense amount of focal

and up till noon today the orders
still coming in thick and fast.
Most people have made arrange
ments whereby they can burn coal
or wood in one stove at least and a
great many people have gone back
to the one room cabin mode of
living, though their residences may
boast of dozen rooms.

a Senate investigation a few years
ago that the navy yard patronage is
of tremendous Importance to polit-
zeal leaders in States where the yards
are located.
Entirely aside from the merits of
the case, which are wholly in favor
of moving the present New York
navy yard from Brooklyn over to
Bayonne. it is probable that some of
the New Jersey statesmen who are
so ardently urging the move are more
or less hopeful of getting a navy yard
in their State for the same reason
that New York politicians may be
expected to oppose any change.
While his family is at the shore
and Mrs. Wilson and her daughters
are at their summer home in New
Hampshire, Secretary Tumulty is TAX
ing his meals and sleeping at the
White House from Tuesdays to Fri
days.
One of the big White House auto
mobiles stood out in front of the
mansion the other afternoon, and the
usual gathering of tourists waited in
front of the house to get a glimpse
of the President. Presently the big
front door opened, a colored footman
bowed low and a short, rudy young
man in a white suit walked out, got
into the machine and bowled down
the drive.
why, isn't Mr.. Wilson young?'
exclaimed one of the feminine sight
seers who had been waiting. "And
he doesn't look a bit like his pic
lures he's much handsomer."

Tumulty admits that the White
House is a fairly comfortable dwell
ing, but says he'll be glad when his
family gets back and he can open
his own house again. The explana-
ton is that the mosquitoes are bad
downtown in Washington this year,
while on 1.-The heights" in the resi-
Dental district, there are very few
mosquitoes. The White House is
downtown, and Tumultys house is on

Tn another moment the waltz

deux- temps, and presently ne most
in his crimson cloak, was doftinS his
plumed hat before her. Circllng the
polished floor in the maze, there was
something gratefully like former days
in the assured touch, the true ana
ready guidance. The intrusive ques-
ton faded. He was the John Valiant
she had always known, of flashing
repartee and graceful compliments,
vet with a touch of dignity, too-as
beftted the lord of a manor-which
sat well upon him. After decorous
dozen of rounds, she took his arm
and allowed her perfect figure to ne
conducted through the various rooms
of the ground floor. chatting in quite
the old-time way, till new gallant
claimed her.
The mellow strings made on their
merry tune. and at length the wv ASH
ington Post" marched all in husned
unity of purpose to the great muslin
walled porch. with it's array of tables
groa ming under viands concocted by
Aunt Daphne for the delectation OF
the palate weary-layer cakes, furry
brown with chocolate, or saffron with
orange icing; fruit cake richer than
an Indian begun; angel cake as Whlte

nocence and almost as sweet as the
lady upon whom he pressed 1t at the
moment; yellow jumbles, kisses that
crumbIed at touch, and all nameless
toothsome inventions for which new
laid eggs are beaten and golden citron
sliced.
And then once more the waltz strain
sIlpervened and in the yellow parlor
ioy was again unconfined. Among the
masculine contingent. perhaps, the
same catholicity of age no longer pre-
vailed, certain of the elders showing
an inclination toward one end of the

dowagers' fans piled on, the rose-cor-

the couples footed it as though mid
night was yet unreached and dawn
as far afield as judgment day.
Again Valiant claimed Katharine,

He guided her to a corridor, where
branches of rhododendron screened an

of fringed lids. no disconcerting
silences; she chartered with ease and
piquancy.

PROSPERITY WAVE /.
MAY HIT BULGARIA
American Engineer Sees Rosy
Outlook Ahead for War
Ridden Country.

The war in the Balkan states whsn
viewed from the centre of the mael-
strom, is evidently different propo-
sition when inspected at a distance
of 10000 miles through the newspa-
pers. Boris j. Patchejieff, young
Bulgarian officer who is recent
graduate from the engineering school
at the University of Kansas, writes
a Western friend that, although ne
was in action most of the time since
the fighting opened, yet he knew
little of what was really going on.
He is a trained mining engineer and
believes that the mining possibilities
of Bulgaria are bright if only the
fighting ceases before industry is
completely demoralized. Patchejieff
attained some fame during the cam
paign by teaching company of his
men the sonorous college yell of the
University of Kansas, and by using
it as a battle cry against the Turks.
A part of his letter follows:
I'VE of Bulgaria know less of the
war than people in Western Europe.
The War Department has forbidden
the newspapers to print anything ex-
cept what they give them. I am an
officer in the kings infantry regi-
ment. There are reported about 25,-
600 dead of Bulgaria's army and
about 250 900 dead from all the
armies, the Turks giving about 200,-
000 of the above number.
Mining, although it has been done
in Bulgaria In ancient times by the
Romans. has been entirely neglected
and forbidden by the Turks during
their rule over Bulgaria for nearly
500 years until the Russian-Turkish
War broke out in 1877 and Bulgaria
was freed from Turkey. During this
long nve-century period Western
Europe has forgotten that any valu-
able minerals have ever been mined
in Bulgaria. From 1877 on, mining
developed little on account of lack
of capital
THE Bulgarian people having been
robbed constantly by the Turks, dld
not have any money to spare Tor
mining, and, besides, knew little of
the work. European capitalists, who
had heard of precious metals in Bull
garia. did not invest because they
were afraid that the country would
again be taken by the Turks.
"A large number of old mines have
been found all rich in copper, Lead
with some silver, zinc, coal, etc. Gold
is washed in small quantities in the
mountain rivers, but no one has
taken the trouble to locate its source.
I have many times seen pieces
washed out as big as wheat grains.
The war will surely benefit Bull
garia in the end, as it has shown
that Bulgaria is a country tnat can
be trusted for the future and will
add a large territory with rich grain
fields and mountains containing pre-
cious minerals"

Suddenly Mrs. Greene turned to
them. Gentlemen" she said. apply
to my friend here. Mr. Whitney; he
can make anything" And she showed
them several contrivances the young
northerner had made.
Whitney modestly said that he did
not know how successful he would
be, but that he would try. In few
weeks he produced a model consist
ing of wooden cylinder encircled by
rows of slender spikes set half an inch
apart, which extended between the
bars of grid set so closely together
that the seeds could not pass, but the
lint was pulled through by the re-
volying spikes a revolving brush
cleaned the spikes. and the seed fell
into another compartment. This ma
chine could clean fifty pounds of cot
ton a day, as compared with one
pound a day cleaned by hand.
Whitney formed a partnership with
Phineas Miller. who later married
Mrs. Greene, and they built factory
at New Haven to make cotton gins.
This place was burned to the ground
in March, 1895, and the partners were
plunged into debt. Several infringe
ments of their patent then appeared
to discourage them still more, and it
was not until 1907 that Whitney's
rights were established.
In the meanwhile, however, the in
ventor became disgusted with the
struggle and commenced manufacture
ing firearms for the government. This
proved profitable, and Whitney great
ly improved the way of making arms.
But from the cotton gin he received
little revenue.
His last years We're the happ.est.
In 1917 he married Henrietta Edwards.

pont Edwards. of Connecticut. They
had four children, a son and three
daughters. Whitney died in New Haven

N. j. MAY GET NAVY YARD
Star Bureau,
Metropolitan National Bank Bldg



WASHINGTON, SEPT. !,
A New Jersey navy yard is within
the possibilities. In his speech in the
House on Saturday Congressman Eu
gene f. Kinkead declared that the
navy department recognized the In
adequacy of the Brooklyn navy yard.
which has not enough space for dock
ing or drydocking the huge men-of-
war now being built Land on the
Brooklyn waterfront adjoining the
present navy yard is declared to be
too valuable to justify the govern
ment in buying additional space to
add to the present yard.
The secretary of the navy is talk
ing the New Jersey proposal serious
ly enough to have promised to go to
Jersey City within few weeks and
inspect the Bayonne flats that are
proposed as a site for new yard.
1t is urged that the sale of the Brook
lyn yard would bring a price more
than sufficient to buy an area many
times the size, and go far towards
filing it in and equipping ii on the
New Jersey side of the bay. The
site proposed IS unused at present
for the most part, and comprises a
mile or so of the mud flats which
lie between the ship channel in New
York bay and the New Jersey shore.
These flats are covered with only a
few inches or feet of water at low
tide, and could be filled in for a
mile from the present shore line with
out in any way interfering with nav
igation or injuring any existing in
terest.
Resolutions were adopted by the
New Jersey Legislature last winter
urging the adoption of this site for
a new yard, and a majority of the
members of the House committee on
naval affairs have seen the site and
agreed that it would answer the pur-
pose admirably, and that it is only a
question of time when the Brooklyn
yard must be abandoned and another
location found.
About the only serious practical
objection that has been voiced
against moving the navy yard over
to the Jersey shore is the frequent
declaration made here that New
York will never agree to such a
move. Navy yards create a lot of
jobs and patronage which are sought
by politicians. 1t was brought out in
