FINDS CHEAPER WAY
TO MAKE GASOLINE
Dr. Walter F. Rittman, Government
Chemist, Gives His Discovery
to the Nation.
ANOTHER DISCOVERY, ALSO

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-TwC
discoveries. both OF vast importanc,
to American industries and one re
garded also as a priceless military
asset, we're announced today by Sec
rotary Lane OF the Interior repart
ment.
They are chemical processes, de
veloped after years OF research by
] DR.. Walter F. Rittman, chemical
engineer Of the bureau of mines. One
is expected TO enable oil refiners tc
incrase thlr output OF gasoline BY
200 per cent; the other makes pos
sible the production from crude
petroleum Of toluol, and benzol
bases for dyed and high explosives
for which in the past, the United
States and the rest of the world have
depended almost exclusively upon
Germany.
Dedicated 20 People.
DR. Rittman has applied for patents
to prevent the possibility of any mo-
nopoly In their use and will dedicate
them TO the American people.
These processes" said Secretary Lane
today, ARE fraught with the utmost i'm
portance. The Standard OIL company has
had big advantage over the independ-
ents in production of gasoline, having
a patened process obtaining three times
the amount of gasoline from a given
quantity OF petroleum the independents
now obtain. Independents producers, as
a whole. have never been able even 10
approach these results.
Now the federal government, through
the efforts of DR.. Rittman proposes to
make free for the use of all, a pro-
cess confidently expected 10 increase
their yields of gasoline fully 800 per cent
and perhaps more. Or. Rittman claims
his process is safer. simpler and more
economical These are economic factors
of great Importance. >.'s. fas-
with a steadily increasing demand for
gasoline for automobiles, motor boats
and engines, this fortunate discovery
comes at the proper time. II is but two
years ago that the automobile industry
fearful the supply OF gasoline might not
be adequate for its rapidly expanding
business, offered $4,000 prize for a sub
stltute that would cost less than gaso-
line. This new process adds to the hope
that in spite of the wonderful growth In
the use of gasoline, there may not be
any shortage in the future. I am led
to believe 1t will not only be OF in esti-
mable value to refiners commanding but
limited capital as well as those, Of
wealth, but also to the hundreds of thou
sands of users of gasoline. When II
is realized the gasoline industry each
years yields $1Oo0OO.OOO to s150, 600, 900,
the importance OF this discovery is seen

SEE DOPE TRAFFIC
BACKED UP TO WALL
Officials Say Federal Law in Effect
Today Will Stop Illegal
Sales.
GOVERNMENT HAS WHIP HAND


A federal law. enacted last year,
which goes into effect today, will
effectively stop the cocaine and
opium traffic, II was declared yes
terday afternoon at the office OF the
internal revenue department in the
federal building.
So stringent is the new law that
ii practically prohibits the use in any
manner whatever even by medical
men. These may use drugs in small
quantities, but only under closest
government supervision. 1t prac-
tieally covers every possible loophole
through which drug fiends have been
obtaining their coveted supplies for
the last few years. and 1t duplicates
nearly every strong point in the bill
now being considered by the Ne
braska legislature.
An appropriation OF $4,000 to enforce
the new drug law and a penalty OF 5000
fine and five years in prison for anyone
violating any OF the drastic clauses IL
expected to relieve every evil OF drug
traffic.
Provisions of Act
The law provides that every person who
deals Ia, manufactures or gives away
cocaine. cocoa leaves. opium or any OF
the derivatives therefrom must pay a spe-
cial tax; must require a special prescrip-
ton from every customer written on
blanks supplied only by the revenue Of
flee. and must account to the department
for every grain Of drug distributed in any
manner.
This includes physicians. dentists. sur
eeons. veterinarians and druggists. and II
applies not only in the United States. but
in every land where Old Glory Is supreme.
The Omaha police have been supplied
with copies of the new law and nave been
asked by tho government authorities 20 be
prepared to assist in stamping out the
evil II any violations OF the new Jaw
are found tomorrow. arrests will follow
Immediately.
supply shut OFF.
In no manner can the inveteTate users
OF cocaine, opium or any other similar
drugs obtain their supplies now. When
ever person Is found under the Influence
Of any drug, he will be arrested and held
for government Investigation.
A federal law passed in 1906 covering
the dope traffic, failed in its purpose in
many respects. and while tho new law
does, not repeal the old one, II covers
many points not taken up by II.
This law win be a great help 10 U.S."
declared Captain of Police Heitfield last
night Around Christmas time, for in

who were carrying on all kinds OF petty
thievery. When we finally rounded up

doors OF the fiends has almost entirely
disappeared. as 81
II was dreading the day when that

A MI CE and QUIET
COUNTY CAMP AICN

Too much praise cannot be accorded
ach and every candidate who is aspi-
ring for Office in Jones county for the
nice and courteous manner in which
they are conducting the campaign. 1t
is a pity that those aspiring for State
Office would not emulate the example
our boys have set.
While they have joint debates and
there are hard and close contests over
some OF the offices, no personalities
are INDUCED in, but each candidate is
making the race on his own merits
and fitness.
And neither are the lines drawn or
State issues, and the question Is never
asked or considered who candidate
supports for Governor, Every mar
is conoeded the right to vote for shs
man of his choice. AT these county
meetings you never hear outside mat
ters discussed, and there is not any
line drawn between Bilbo and anti
Bilbo supporters. The voters are all
down on coattail swingers, and have
such marked for defeat.
The Jones County News, as stated
at the outset. is absolutely hands off
in the county campaign, and each and
every candidate shall have an equal
and fair showing SO far as this paper
and its Editor are concerned. We
have an abiding faith in the sound
sense, patriotism and Judgment of the
sovereign voters.
And we cannot too highly commen d
the aspirants for county office on the
high plane they have pitched and are
holding the campaign.

TO INVESTIGATE
COUNTY AFFAIRS

Petitions are being circulated to
have our county records gone over
and thoroughly investig atsd by ex-
pert accountants, and we have heard
of no one objecsing TO this work being
done, although some think IL an un-
necessary expense. But Is Is the peo-
ple's money, and If they want this In
vestig ration made we say by all means
let the work be done. In fact, now
that the issue has bean aaitatsd the
investigation should be made.
This will not only satisfy the pub
lie, but be an act OF Justice to each
aud every public oficer who has had
the handling of these funds. And ne
will add that these officials insist on
the investigation being made, as they
say they have nothing to fear, and
want the people TO know exactly how
every copper OF their money has been
expended.
The officer who will have charge of
this work stated that he did not think
there was anything wrong in Jones
county, or he would not wait for any
petition 10 be gotten up, but secure an
order and go torough the books with
out delay, He says our county officers
were too insistently ready to have
him audit their books without waiting
for any preliminaries.
We have not heard the slightest
suspicion of wrongdoing; but as n
new election is at hand, whether the
old men hold over or new set are
chosen, they ought to start the next
term with clean balance sheet and
new set of books.
