GASOLINE FAMINE.

The Rittman process OF extracting
gasoline from crude oil proves to be
really something more than mere
theory or laboratory experiment. The
licensing by the federal government,
of ten oil refining firms, for the use
Of this method, shows that practical
to guarantee it's commercial success.
oil men have faith in it. and seems
to guarantee its commercial success
1t is an opportune time for this
innovation. And il it fultills the
hopes OF oil refners, it may provide
the needed relief for the present
gasoline scarcity and high prices. The
supply of crude oil cannot be in.
creased, at least until Mexico is pac'
flied and the product of the Mexican
fields is once more available. If it
is possible to obtain two or three
times as much gasoline from a given
quantity OF crude oil, by means of
the Rittman process, the result will
be about the same as if the crude
output were doubled.
The manner in which this process
is being adapted to general use is in
itself novelty. DR.. Rittman, the
discoverer, is a government employe
in the bureau OF mines at Washing
ton. He has generously waived all
private rights. The bureau of mines
is granting concessions without any
charge, but on the condition that any
patentable improvements made by a
licensed firm employing the process
shall be assigned to the secretary
of the interior, thus becoming avail.
able for other manufacturers on the
same gratuitous terms. Thus the
discovery presented to the nation
may become a greater public bene.
faction as time goes on, instead of
the profit derived from it being peck
eted by few private firms.
This appears to be the first case
of the kind on record. 1t may pre-
pare the way for general practice
of making useful scientific discover.

DESIRE ACTION.

The friends of the library hope
that the board of education will take
action next Monday evening in the
selection of library board. There
has been some disappointment ex.
pressed that action was not taken al
a recent meeting, SO that the many
details that must be arranged can be
given the necessary attention.
The board must select one of its
own members and woman. There
are no restrictions placed upon the
other three selections.
1t is essential on a board of this
kind that the woman, il possible, be
cOnversant with library methods. II
the services of trained librarian are
available SO much the better.
Fortunately the school board car
secure such services if it desires. A
librarian acting in an advisory capac
ity on the board can be OF great as
sistance.
The school board should heed tn,
requests Of the friends Of the librar.

SPRING GARDENING.

This is the time Of year when
John comes home with a pocketful
of seed packets and a book on Nege-
table gardening and a new spade and
hoe and rake, and spends his even
| ings pottering around the back yard
| and stewing and fussing because the
soil is SO late getting into worka BILE
condition.
John is scientific about tall for
intensive, up to date gardening. He
| knows whether his soil is acid or
alkali, and can talk about nitrates
and phosphates and other fertilizers
in way that would have made his
farmer grand-dad's eyes bulge out.
He knows all about humus and mulch
and other esoteric matters. He knows
what he wants to plan, and why and
when and how. He can draw you
diagram of his vegetable garden
to-be, as an architect sketches the
plan of a house. Perhaps he has his
hot-bed or cold frame working, and
plants ready TO set out the first warm
bright day after the frost is gone
He is more interested in all this
than he is in the German drive at
Eerdun or the search for Villa or the
presidential lineup or the latest prize
fight or the baseball outlook.
And it's very good for John. 1t
gives him wholesome intellectual
interest-it takes brains to make a
good garden: it gives him the finest
kind Of outdoor exercise; it keeps
him out of questionable company and
| questionable places; it saves him
money that he would otherwise spend
in more expensive recreation. It
gives him vegetables, which, even if
they don't represent net profit on
his backyard investment, have a
freshness and a flavor that cannot be
matched on earth. And back of all
this is vast pride of achievement
that makes John brag more about his
first foolish little radish than about
the biggest triumph of the year in
his regular line of business.
It's good for Johns family, too.

ed by it's history. Therefore, serious.

when the American Press fights a

Germany and German culture, it is

GRACE .ELL|STON
IN "BLACK FEAR

The next release on the Metro pro-

lists in the cast are Paul Everton,
John Tansey, the boy actor, Frank
Hannah, Mayme >Kelso, Mrs. Allan
Walker, Edwin Polk, Albert Hackett
and Del Lewis.
Briefly, the story Of BLACK Fear"
is as follows:
In an allegory Satan is seen on his
throne, disguised with the age-long
monotony of ensnarng mankind with
the old devices and passions Miss
Cocaine presents herself, and offers
to go forth to Earth, as his ambassa-
dor, to lure souls to perdition.
Horace Ely, head of the big messen.
ger service company, is starting on
mere sisters, Lillian and Mary,
when their attention is attracted to a
group on the corner. There the Sis
tiers find their young brother, Billy,
who has been engaged in a fight with
two messenger boys, trying to pre-.
vent them taking cocaine. Ely cham.
pions the cause of the two boys, but
the police lead them off to the station.
One Of the boys proves to be the son
Of Mrs. Martindale, housekeeper for
the Ellsmeres. Judge lie Roy, who
presides at the Juvenile Court, has
long been friendly with Lillian Ellis
mere, and when her little brother and
Mrs. Martindale appear in court next
day, he agrees to be lenient and ar
ranges to have the boys take drug
cure.
Soon after this incident the father
of the Ellsmere girls loses his fortune
in Wall Street, and ends his life. The
girls take small fiat. and Billy gets
a place with Ely as messenger boy
Through the direction of Ely, Billy is
introduced to cocaine. and soon be.

Ely, who has been posing as a single
man, is married. Lillian forbids Mary
to see him, and Ely uses Billy as a

with Mary.
Mary is finally lured to Elys apart

The first effect of war was to draw

The automatic attraction OF higher

Much as ! admire William Shake

The average scenario editor would
probably turn his script down on the
instant, because of the fact that
Shakespeare did not consider photo
graphic possibilities when he inscrib-
ed his works. To be sure he sought
and attained the artistic, but the ele-
ment of action as it applies TO motion
pictures was, if observable; all, only
partly defined in even his most spec
tacular plays, because he wrote with
the limitations of the stage always in
mind. The great thoughts he ampli-
fled in letters will some day be pic
turized, no doubt, when the right man
comes to work them over into the
form that the photoplay requires.
