MORE AND BETTER GASOLINE

More gasoline is being used in the
world today than ever before-yet the
price of this fuel, so essential in this
era of the internal combustion engines,
is lower than it has been in many years
The present European war has been
termed the gasoline war, and justly so,
for if deprived of this fuel the armies
engaged in the great conflict would be
compelled to suspend operations. For
transporting the field and siege guns
and for propelling the thousands of mo-
tor cars used in the transportation of
troops, ammunition, and supplies on
the scale required in a war of such
magnitude, gasoline is necessity, and
without it the operation of Zeppelins
and aeroplanes would be an impossible
| ity.
| But in spite of the tremendous de-
mand made on the oil supply by reason
of the war, gasoline has been getting
cheaper. This situation is the result of
of refining by which a greatly increaced
supply of gasoline can be obtained from
a given quantity of crude oil. During
the past year the tank wagon price of
gasoline has fallen in the large centers,
apparently from this cause. from 16c to
81 cents gallon. There is little doubt
that the price will eventually go still
lower with the development of the
new process just discovered by Doctor
Rittman, chemical engineer of the q. S.
Bureau of Mines. The improved proc
eses now in use are held as a monopoly
by one groupe of refiners. The new
process is to be free to all refiners who
will submit to certain government reg
ulations. With it. it will be possible
to extract three times as much gasoline
as can be extracted by the process of
distillation. Joseph E. Murphy in June

10 CONSULTATIVE DANGEROUS
A former tuberculosis sanatorium pa
tient. who was not completely cured. is
working in butcher shop in Wiscon-
sin village. 1 am asked if he should be
permitted to continue in such employ
ment.

man nor his habits, / cannot judge in
this specific instance. Nor is the an
swer simple, as more than one consid
GRAFTON is involved. While most of the
meat handled by him is rendered abso-
lutely safe by cooking, some is eaten
raw.
If the man is careful, 1 do not think
the danger to the public is so very
great. If he is careless, of course it is.
| hesitate to say anything which might
be construed as making light of the
danger Of this terrible disease. Never
theless, we must never lose sight Of the
fact that Tuberculosis is not a terribly
contagious disease and that it usually
requires prolonged and repeated doses
of germs to overwhelm new victim.
Furthermore, we must not forget that
there are thousands of unknown con-
sumptives in Wisconsin and that the
danger from them is greater than from
the known ones.
Our convalescent patients must, of
necessity, either be taken care of or
take care of themselves. The public
is not, as yet, prepared to support all
dangerous consumptives. We must not
make it difficult for them to support
themselves therefore.
There is more than sentimental rea-
son for this. Poverty stricken con-
sumptives are more dangerous than
those in comfortable circumstances.
Few of us who have an abundance Of
hot running water and plenty of coal
realize how difficult it really is to be
clearly in the absence Of these commod
tiles. A harrassed overworked con-
sumptive, exhausted by his efforts to
provide himself and his family with the
means of keeping bodies and souls to-
gether, is not likely to be nearly so
scrupulous Of other peoples safety as
the patient who has the leisure to con

For Oiled Streets.

Highland Press: There has been
some agitation among the business men
on the question of oiling some of the
streets. We don't know what it would
cost. but we do know something of the
benefits of oiled streets. The recent
dry spell gave US all an opportunity to
see the need of such a movement.

that Roscnthal did go, as told Senator
sullivan he would, will show what |
thought of that intimation."
Mr. Waldo said that Big Tim brought
the matter up casually, speaking with
neither pleading nor anger, and that he
seemed quite satisfied with the dcclara-
tiou made to him. He referred tn
Rosouihal as "A friend" or "A ICON
stltucnt.' Mr.. Waldo was not sure
which, but he made II apparent to the
Commissioner that his appeal was
somewhat out of the ordinary. 1t was

FUNSTON TO FIRE BACK

WASHINGTON. July a. First chief
Carranza has acceded TO the request of
the United states that he observe the
neutrality of Naco In the state of So
nora by Withdrawing hi. troops from that
town. The Carranza agency to-day SO
advised the State Department. There is
thus smoothed over a situation that
might have made trouble between the
United States and the CarraHza fac
ton. Carranza's troops were withdrawn
from Naco late to-day.
There Is still "A possibility OF trouble
on the Arizona border. Gen. Maytorena.
the villa commander. and Gen. Gales.
the Carransa leader. have small bodies
OF men at that point and may clash at
any time.
Gen. Funston. who IL In command OF
the American forces on the border. has
been given authority to have his SOL
diers fire back II stray bullets enter
American territory at Nogales. The or
der issued to Gen. Funston indicates at
least a minor change OF policy on the
part OF the Administration. Heretofore
Gen. Funston had no authority to re-
taliate II Americans were killed by
stray bullets. II is admitted that II
Gen. Funston ls called on to carry out
his new orders there may be trouble be-
tween American troops and MeXicans
at Nogales.
Washington officials are awaiting with
keen interest the outcome of the battle
now imminent at Pachuca, forty miles
from Mexico city. Owing to the sus-
pension OF wire and rail communications
this Government Is in complete ignorance
OF recent vents in and around Mexico
city and in the region between Vera
Cruz and Mexico city.
II Is known that comparatively large
bodies OF hostile troops are mobil!zlng
at or near Pachuca and that the VII
listas are determined TO make a most
desperate effort 10 win. Nothing has
been heard by this Government for the
past few days concerning the movement
OF Gen. Gonzales. the Carranza com
mander. who was obliged to ~evacuate
Mexico city owing TO the proximity OF
the Ntlltsta forces. CarranZa to-day ad.
v.sed his agency here that he is In touch
with Gen. Gonzales and that the Con-
s~'itut!onalist cause is bound to win a
big victory within the next few DAYS.
That Americans are still being per-
secuted in Mexico city is indicated IN
advices received AT the Red Cross head
quarters. According TO the Red Cross
the United States was recently ohlieel
tp bring to his country George Ogden

had lived in Mexico about eleven wear.
and acquired property valued at $50. OOD

cows.
Until about three months ago Ogder
