ing to spend day without remuneration
watching the destruction by maceration
OF United States securities. But, to save
the Secretary any possible embarrass-
ment, Congress has provided that he may
pay the representative of the public
who, the law says, shall be one of the
committee to witness the reduction of the
securities to pulp-$5 day for each day
he may be so employed.
The United States has also to spend
few dollars every year to aid in keeping
our sailormen from going ashore on foreign
coasts. On the coast of Morocco, at
Tangier, and at Cape Spartel, mariners
used to experience great difficulty in
avoiding disaster on account of the alb
sence of warning night signals on the
shore. Lighthouses were sadly needed;
and, as the government of Morocco would
not provide them, the great powers took
the matter in hand in behalf of their
shipping interests. Lighthouses were es-
tablished, and the powers are assessed so
much annually for their maintenance.
The share of the United States in this
expense is 1925.
In addition to this, an annual appro-
priation of $4500 is made for expenses
incurred in the acknowledgment of the
services of masters and crews of foreign
vessels in rescuing American seamen and
citizens.
The people of Alaska who inhabit the
islands of st. Paul and ST. George receive
special consideration at the hands of the
government. Congress authorizes the
Secretary of the Treasury to furnish them
with food, fuel, and clothing, and for this
purpose $19,500 is appropriated. Indus
trial and elementary education in Alaska
costs the government $4,000 year. To
keep open the Washington Monument
Congress allows an appropriation of
$ll,500 yearly

TIME United States government pays
out annually thousands of dollars for
purposes that not one in a thousand
citizens knows anything about.
Although slave-trading is generally sup
posed to be thing of the past, the United
States contributes annually 500 as its
share of the expense of keeping up at
Brussels an institution known as the In
ternational Bureau for the Repression of
the African Slave Trade.
Our government is deeply interested in
ascertaining the size of the earth over
which we stretch our mighty hand; so it
pays annually to the American embassy
at Berlin, Germany, its quota as an ad-
herring member of the International Geo
detic Association for the measurement of
the earth, $500.
At Brussels there is an International
Bureau for the Publication of Customs;
and the United States pays $13SS an
nually as its proportionate share of the
expense. Also at Brussels every year
S2270 is paid by this government as con-
tribution to the maintenance of the Inter-
national Bureau of Weights and Measures.
1t costs the United States no less than
$l4, 100 annually to provide prisons for
American convicts in foreign countries.
These prisons. are under the immediate
jurisdiction OF the consular officers at
various cities in China, Korea, Japan, and
Turkey. They are seldom used, but they
must nevertheless be maintained. The
prisons, with the cost of rent and salary
of keepers, are as follows: Bangkok,
$1,000; Shanghai, $3.50; Yokohama,
$3.50; Turkey, $1,000. For keeping and
feeding such prisoners as may from time
to time be confined in these prisons, $4,000
is set aside every year.

alternate exposure. The number of turns
OF the spindle necessary for any camera
may be determined by opening the back
and running through piece of paper
instead of film.
Care should be taken to locate the
image correctly on the finder in the use of
films. With plates, the image appears
automatically in the correct position on
the ground glass. When plates are used
the plate-holders are manipulated in the
usual manner. After exposing the num-
Der of plates desired, remove the back of
the camera, slide the cardboard to the OPP
posite side of the opening, replace back,
and make exposures on the other end of
the plates by inserting the holders sec
ond time. The holders should be num-
bered to avoid confusion. There is no
changing of the cardboard when using
films.
In taking head and bust pictures this
method of utilizing the film can not be
excelled for economy. V. II. s.

the owners of these cameras say: "They
cost too much to operate; am going to
get a smaller one.' How much better to
retain the facilities for securing the larger
pictures, and yet at the same time be able
to take smaller views, say 2&x3I. 1t
can be done very simply, and two pictures
obtained instead of one, by excluding the
light admitted through the lens from part
of the film or plate.
For instance, with 3Hx515 pocket
folding camera piece of black cardboard
cut to fit may be inserted in the groove
just forward Of where the film rolls across
the opening in the back. 1t should ex-
tend half way across and close one half of
the opening. When the back of the
camera is removed for loading, the card
board may be slipped into place just be-
fore placing the film in position. In
making the exposures the film should be
turned until the first number appears,
then just half way each subsequent time,

work as a strikebreaker. He accepted
and had been on the job but a short
time when he ran afoul of the strikers.

Laurel, Miss, March 13.-The first
effects OF the trainmen's strike on the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad were
felt in this city Saturday when the

Reports came from Laurel today
that the Eastman-Gardiner Company
was preparing to bring suit against
the railroad company for damages
sustained as a result of the strike.
This could not be verified, however.
w. E. Bridges, local secretary of
the trainmen's union there, reached
Laurel today, and assumed charge OF
the strike.
All of the strikebreakers have been
removed from Laurel, a majority OF
them having been brought to Hatties-

PLACE ON LINE

jackson, Miss, March 1.-THE
strike on the G. & S. I. Railroad, SO
far as local conditions are concerned,
is without new development except as
to rumors.
A report that a passenger train had
been fired into last night about IL
o'clock as it pulled into Jackson was
found to be rumor only, as the train
was over an hour late and did not
reach here until one o'clock this morn
ing. A freight train. coming in at about
IL o'clock. reported that flashes as
from pistols had been observed as the
trains reached the outskirts of the city,
and detectives were put on the case
without discovering any tangible evi-
dence.
jackson, it is said, is the quietest
point on the entire system, and no dis
turbance is even looked for among the
men on strike.

GASOLINE SCARS
tConrinued From Page one,
tail dealers, all point to the prospect
of steadily increasing price.
Hearinq Expected.

Coincident with this general con-
Germ came the announcement that the
House rules committee probably will
give hearing on the Dowell resolu-
ton for comprehensive investiga-
ton into the reasons for the high
prices of gasoline and into the gaso-
line and oil situation generally.
Congressman Dowell has obtained
mass of data bearing on the question
Of high gasoline prices. Independent
oil men in various parts Of the coun-
try are writing to ask about the inves-
tigation and they are supplying data.
These Independents declare they
are being rapidly crushed out by the
Standard Oil Company subsidiaries,
and unless relief is given by the gov
eminent they face ruin.
One of the important questions as
to which the Dowell resolution asks
an investigation is whether, in spite
of the Supreme Court decision in the
Standard Oil case, the monopoly still
persists through mutual stock owner
ship in the concerns which were for
merly held together by the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey.
Independent oil men will probably
be heard by the rules committee. That
committee will consider whether a
situation exists which warrants it in
advising the House to adopt the reso-
luton.
Experts tersely sum UP the reasons
for the advance in three words, sup
ply and demand"
Few of the Reasons.
Here are few of the reasons for
the higher prices as stated by these
students of the situation:
A IS per cent increase in consump-
ton of gasoline in 1915 over 1914. In
1916, it is estimated, 100000 more
automobiles will be manufactured and
sold.
The use of gasoline III the 1000
British submarine chasers and patrol
boats, carrying gaosline engines OF
400 to 500 horsepower.
The slump in the Cushing field, pro-
ducing 100000 barrels a day of crude
oil of high gasoline content, which
slumped during 1915 to less than 10O,-
900 barrels daily.
Little oil coming from Mexico be-
cause Of the lack of transport facili-
ties.
When the war closes, these experts
say, there will be an immediate
slump. A large factor will be the ire
mendous production of benzol (ben-
,;ine) from the by-products recovery
plants installed by the United States
Steel Corporation and other Ameri-
can industries. This coal tar prod
uct now is bringing from so to 80
cents while, before tae war, it was
worth only about 20 cents.
