GIVE SHORT MEASURE
Gasoline Pumps in Filling Stations
Charged With Cheating.

Gasoline pumps in several Kansas
towns are cheating. That is the an
nouncement of DR.. S. J. Crumbine
secretary of the state board of health
based on reports from the department
of weights and measures. Tests of
several pumps in Topeka, Wichita and
Hutchinson, show that in some in
stances the pumps fall 20 per cent
short of standard measure.
An effort is to be made by the state
department to interest the govern
ment in the situation. 1t is probable
the federal department will be asked
to investigate gasoline pumps in the
state. Probably the pumps in the state
are not so had as the tests made in
the three towns indicate. Some of the
pumps gave short measure only on the
first gallon of each purchase.
I'VE would like to make a complete
test Of pumps used in Kansas filler
stations and garages" said Doctor
Crumbine, in the way of opening a war
on gasoline merchants. I'VE examined
in Wichita, Topeka and Hutchinson
ara found about 20 per cent were Civ

The bronze Buddha of Yokohama,
the picture of which is so familiar, is
commonly thought to be the largest
statue of that god in the world; but
there is one in Burma that exceeds it
in at least one dimension and gives an
impression of far greater size.
When the English were building the
railway from Rangoon to Mandalay in
1881, they searched the vicinity of
Pegu for stone with which to make
the embankment thru the great
swamps. In the whole area there was
only one elevation of any Importance;
the engineers thought that this hill
might provide the necessary material
so they dug into its base and were
surprised to find some artistic brick
work On clearing away the earth
farther they found an enormous stone
statue that represented Buddha in a
reclining position. The statue is
about 100 feet long, and, including the
brick base, it is more than forty feet
high The Yokohama Buddha is fifty
five feet high and 10 feet in circum-
ference. Altho the Burmese statue Is
not so artistic as the japanese, it is a
wonderful piece of work
Not the least remarkable thing
about it is the way in which so huge
monument had disappeared abso-
lutely from Burmese history and leg
end. The news of the discovery at
once brought numberless Buddhists to
the place. who gilded and decorated
the gigantic image as a work of de-
Votion. The soles of its huge feet were
ornamented at great cost with an elab-
crate glass mosaic, and each toe was
embellished with a separate decora-
tion.-Youth's Companion.
