Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi- tions were greatly hindered through
 losing much of their gasoline-a loss
 that, in fact, had much to do with the disaster that befell Captain Scott. MT. B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research thinks he knows what caused the loss. At low temperatures, he says, ordinary tin tends to pulverize. At 54 degrees be- low zero it pulverizes quickly and may pulverize, although more slowly, at a higher temperature. Now. hard solder usually contains a large percentage of tin. and so, of course, disintegrates in the same way. Consequently the gas oline cans are likely to leak at the soldered seams MT. Brooks suggests that polar explorers carry their sup plies of gasoline in containers made of glass, or of some metal unaffected by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion

Domestic Menace.

On matters of feminine dress we sell dom venture to express an opinion un- less it be occasionally a word in de- fense of that liberalism which permits a woman to consider her freedom and comfort as we'll as her appearance.
 But we are prompted now to utter protest against the progress of Amer ican fashion designers, who, with a free field for the first time in history, can think of nothing better than to mimic the military uniforms of Flu rope.
 Is it not enough that we should have the horrors of the war thrust upon us by the news, filling our imaginations, coloring our dreams? Is it not enough that there should be signs of a military epidemic in all our magazines. articles on strategy, stories of fighting and bloodshed? Must we have the world s nightmare intensified by the very clothes the women wear? - Chicago Post.

INCREASE IN RATES
 0N THE RAILROADS
PASSENGER FARES TO BE READ JUSTED IN ALL SAVE SOUTH
 EASTERN TERRITORY.
TO BE ON BASIS OF 2 1-2 CTS.
Announced That in Central Passenger District the New Rates Are to Be-
 come Effective on December 1.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
 ngton.-Material increases In passenger fares practically through out the country except in Southeast ern territory. will be caused by ad- vances announced by railroads in trunk line territory between New York City and Pittsburgh, and in cen. tral passenger association territory between Pittsburgh and Chicago and St. Louis. Practically the basis for readjustment is 1-2 cents a mile, the present basis generally being IA cents.
 Within Central passenger associa- tion territory the new fares will be. come effective on December 1, and in trunk lines territory and from between the two territories they will become effective on December 15.
 The proposed advances were made by the railroads after the Illinois Central had suggested increased pas. senger fares as one method by which the revenues of the carriers might be increased. The commission is receiv. ing some protests against the pro. posed increases. but at this time it is regarded as likely that the tariffs filed by the roads will not be suspended.

BALANCE KEPT BY NATURE
Increase of the Human Race Seems to Be Regulated by Wars and
 Other Devastatons.

Every year, according to scientists who attempt to keep the general rec ords, at least S0,000,000 human beings are born on this earth and 60,000,000 or 70,000.000 die. This indicates a daily birth rate of about 220,000 and a death rate of lS0,000. The daily increase in population therefore is about 10000 The total population of the globe is estimated at 1,S00, 100000.
 The ravages of war do little to i'm pede the increase. Far more effective have been the upheavals of nature, The Franco-Prussian war killed about 130,000 in seven months. The death roll of the Russo-Japanese reached about 200.000. A single earthquake Q737, in India) has been estimated to have caused 300.000 deaths. The fa- talities of the Messina earthquake in 1908 cannot have been far short of 100. .000 A tidal wave in 1896 drowned 27,000 persons in Japan, causing a greater loss of life than the whole war with China in, 1894 The earth quake in Japan in 1T03 Is said to have killed 100000 people.

A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but reliable and inexpensive. home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and similar itching skin and scalp troubles

With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened.
