INDUSTRIAL GAS
 CALORIAIETRY

Washing gton D. C., April 22.F For many years all laws and regulations relating to nlanufa cured gas were based on candleppwer requirements, f. e.. the gas burned in definite Iburrfer at the rate of 5 cubic feet per hour was required to give a specf- fled iIiuminatfcn of so many candle power. This specification furnished quality of gas delivered so long as the gas was chiefly used for ilIumin- atfnE purposes with the old style of open flame gas burner At the pres ent time, however, this inefficient type of burner has been very large bach mantle type. Furthermore, a large amount of the gas sold to- i day is used for cooking purposes and l to some extent for operating small l gas engines for power purposes. In l these applications Of gas it Is the 1 heating value that IS of first inpor-
 tance and not the and1epower. It 1 has been estiInated that less than I 20 per cent. of the gas manufac- tured and sold to-day, indeed in many of our cities and towns less than 10 per cent. is used in the old type Of open flame gas burners. Nofwith- | standing this fact we still find in most | Of our cities and towns ordinances l on the statute books requiring that | the gas meet definite eandlepower Icz5L, lille 10 H11IESA1t40 mas been given to the question of heating val l ue, which is the important factor for
 over 30 per cent. of the gas sold. Many of the candlepower require
 nents fixed by law are quite high. l often requiring the nanufacture of l an expensive oi1-enriched gas, which may not be the most economical gas I to the public. The Importance of l the heating value of the gas is now l being quite generally recognized, and Tc% F,~ I adopted recently and where public service commissions have considered 1.-the question of gas regulation and have gotten to the point of issuing regulations, the heating value stan dard is being generally adopted, sup

 In view of the growing i'm mportance Of the question of heating values o1 gases from the misunderstanding. the legislative the inspecting and the economic sides. the Bureau of Stand ards, of the Department of Com naerce, started several years ago an
 exhaustive investi gation Of the instru-
 rnents widely used in this country and abroad to measure the heating values of gases. with a view to deter
 mining the sources of error to which lthe instruments are liable, the fmpor- liant precautions to be observed ih their use, and the accuracy attainable at with them This investigation has now been completed. and the result; 4 will be published in a forthcomins I TechnoIogic paper, reprints of whicf may be obtained by those interested I in the subject by addressing a writ Il ten request to that Bureau. It is ex
 pected that the paper will come from

THE PROSPERITY
ARGUM EMIT

1t has always been customary to
| laugh at the full dinner pail argu-
ment in politics. 1t is called a sor'
did point of view.
Yet social advance is never posi-
BILE on an empty stomach. The chur'
ches all admit that you can't preach
the gospel to hungry man. II
Won want to accomplish reforms, the
country must have measure OF
prosperity. When taxes are high, fac
tories on short time, every philan-
thropic and civic service organiza-
ton suffers and is compelled to cur
tail it's work.
That is why, in choosing our law
makers, the American people should
always be careful to get body OF
practical men who will run the bust
ness of the country with due regard
to business principles and common
sense. No matter how alluring
nolitical platform may sound, II the
party behind it is going to upset the
business of the community, close It's
factories, and send its workingmen
out ON the road. 1t is not ut to un
dertake the conduct Of business.
Somehow, or other, Democratic au-
ministration at Washington always
seems to mean dull business. Ger
tainly the history of the winter and
spring of 1914 were no exception
The number of the unemployed has
been enormous, even before the war
broke out. A great many factories
have had to run on short time and
many shut down altogether.
The trouble has simply been the
assemblages in positions Of power of
lot of visionary men. They have
the notion that human nature can be
overturned, and wholesale and sweep
ing measures of reform put into eff.
feet all at once. But you can't do
1t.
Business needs confidence. Pros
perity Is never built on fear. Bust
ness men, hearing the debates in
Congress, gain the impression that
there is a violent and widespread
hostility to property. Consequently
they have been taking funds out OF
productive industry, and locking them
up in bonds where at least they can
be sure of getting dollar for dollar.
A Republican victory this fall would
give confidence to business commun-
ity and would give capitalists the
courage to return their money to the
channels of production.

AN EDUCATION

Boys and girls without money who
are ambitious for an education may
find some suggestions of vat, in my

upon my own responsibilities. They
thought there was still great deal
left for me to learn in the country,
so In the country remained, pack
ing the same old books to school and
reciting the same old lessons term
after term.
When I was sixteen years old ]

away to school. They made the
same reply as before that they were
unable to send me. An old lady in
the neighborhood needed someone to
help her with the housework, so
asked permission to stay with her and
thus earn money to meet my expens-
es. l spent the summer with her,
earning two dollars week and saw
ing my money.
When the time rolled around for
me to start to school, l decided to go
to college where I could take a
teachers course and fit myself to
draw a salary as soon as possible.

HOW FREE CANAL TOLLS
WORK IN PRACTICE

According to figures presented by
Hon. William Il. Humphrey of Wash
ington, who has long since been &C.
knowledged as authority on business
conditions on the Pacific coast and
throughout the West, the repeal
Of the Panama Canal act raised the
freight rate on lumber from the Pa
cific coast to the Atlantic markets
81. so per thousand. This increase in
freight rates applies not only to that
carried through the canal, but also
the water rate as everyone knows
II competing points fixes the rail
rates. The repeal of the Panama
Canal act increased the freight on
every carload that the consumer on
the Pacific buys on the Atlantic $50.
1t increases the freight rate $50 on
every carload that the producer OF,
the Pacific sends to the Atlantic.
These facts clearly show that Presi-
dent Wilson was right when he de-
clared that the chief purpose of
free canal for American ships was
to compel lower rates on our raj
roads.
Mr.. Humphrey further says, this
one act alone is sufficient to con.
denim the Democratic party forever
on the Pacific coast. 1t Is the most
brazen refutation of platform prom
ises in the history of this nation. If
the Democratic party can do this
thing and live. then popular govern;

record of the Democratic party, what

will hereafter believe a promise In a
Democratic platform?
