Cold weather always makes a good
oyster market and with every prospect
Of good low temperature today the
oyster runboat masters at the 18th
street wharf are making ready to
take care Of large throng of Sunday
visitors. Those who visit the wharf
market today should find all the oys-
tiers they desire from which to select
for their Sunday feast. but the supply
will not be overlarge. Late yesterday
evening there were five boats at the
wharf with oysters aboard and their
combined cargoes amounted to less
than 1000 bushels. Both river and
bay stock are to be had at prices rang
ing from about 40 cents bushel for a
good grade of Potomac oysters up to
Is cents and higher a bushel for bay
stock. The oysters now on the market
are reported to be fat and of good
flavor. Those who do not care to shuck
them for themselves will find shuckers
on hand willing to sell their services.

Many Nations Get Their Chief Sup

High in Europe.

In these days of quantity production,
with the leading automobile manufac-
turers of the United States planning for
the turning out of a round million OF
cars the present fiscal year, the ques-
ton of what may be termed the auto
mobile population of the world natu-
rally arises. Where do these thousands
of American cars and the additional
thousands made in foreign countries
go?
According to statistics compiled by
the Horseless Age, leading automobile
trade magazine, following its efforts to
obtain an automobile census of the
world. there are approximately 3,114,0o0
automobiles in use throughout the
globe This total seems astonishingly
small when it is considered that the
latest registration figures indicate that
there are 100000 automobiles in the
United States alone. The United States
has long been recognized as the fore
most manufacturer and consumer OF
motor vehicles. but it remains for the
tabulation of figures such as those men,
toned above most strikingly to illus
trate this supremacy. Approximately
II per cent OF the WOflQS duloIlOU1lSS
are being operated over the roads of
this country.
Four States Lead World.
An idea of the position the United
States occupies in the motoring field
may be gained when it is known that
the 7I4O00 cars in service in other sec
tions of the world represent less than
the total of cars registered in the
states of New York. Ohio. California
and Iowa.
There is one important factor in con-
nection with the compilation of these
figures which has to be reckoned with,
but which tends further to advance the
standing of the United States as ma
ton of automobiles. This is the war
now raging on the other side OF the
Atlantic The leading nations involved
in this struggle include the foremost
of the European automobile builders
and users. In Great Britain. France,
Germany, Austria, Russia and Italy
practically all the privately owned
motor vehicles have been requisitioned

Gasoline Costly in Europe.

The price of gasoline. not only in
Italy, but In all of Europe. has had an
important influence on the development
Of the automobile. Although automo-
bilists of the United States are at pres
ent in a furore over gasoline being re-
tailed at an average of % cents
gallon. it might make them feel that
their lot is not hard one after con-
sidering that before the war motorists
of Great Britain were paying in the
neighborhood of 26 cents a gallon and
car owners of continental Europe from
40 to so cents a gallon for their motor
fuel. The great distances from the
American and Russian oil fields to the
European centers Of population and the
government tax placed upon gasoline
brought about these high prices. A
comparison of the cents a gallon
levied on this fuel by the British gov
eminent and the 1-cent-a-gallon tax
proposed for this country is also in
teresting at this time.

Many of the countries do not OIL

Few Autos Built in Russia.

Russia until three years ago imported
all its automobiles. About year be-
fore the breaking out of the war two
motor car manufacturing plants were
established, one at Riga and the other
at Moscow, but the little progress made
along production lines was abruptly
halted by the war. Among the con-
Germs that distributed the 1880 ma
chimes in use in Russia are several rep
resentatives of American car manufac-
turers. Austria's manufacturing activi-
ties are also modest a majority Of the

for military service. in which their pc,
riod of usefulness is decidedly limited
Estimate Necessary.

The absence of official figures on the
number of cars in use in these ceun-
tries makes it necessary to estimate
the motor population using as the
basis for this approximation the num-
Der of vehicles officially recorded be-
fore the war, adding the machines
shipped from the United States to the
various countries since the spring of
1914, and also including moderate
allowance for the vehicles that might
have been made at home in the war
period 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that in view of the fact that the
various factories are in effect govern
ment controlled the number of cars
produced for private consumption is
indeed very small. In Great Britain
practically all the motor car factories
have been converted into munltlon
plants. but in France several of the
automobile companies are permitted to
assemble parts made before the war
into cars for private use.

DEvisEs HANDY TOOL
FOR DYNAMITE CAPS

A tool which undoubtedly will
prove great convenience to set
tiers and others who use dynamite
has been invented but not patented
by Carl d. Livingston of the Col
lege of Agriculture of the University
of Wisconsin. 1t is combination
fuse cutter, cap crimper and fuse
Sitter all in one.
Many serious accidents have hap
pened in Wisconsin and elsewhere
as the result Of fitting fuse into
dynamite caps. Trouble usually
arises from rough or flattened fuse
ends, which make it necessary to
twist the fuse into the cap with more
or less force. A clean cut, square
cap end is always desirable, because
uhe cap will not stand careless
-reatment without danger of explod-
ing.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
been found with the ordinary COM
binatfon crimpers and cutters now
ON the market, as the blades easily
become dull pinch the fuse off and
leave a ragged end.
The new tool which is shaped like
a pair of pruning shears, has an ad-
Unstable blade which can be sharp
ened easily when desired. Firm,
smooth, and tight connections be-
tween fuse and cap are obtained by
means of a special crimping device,
which is placed directly under the
axis. A special Sitting device on the
end of the cutting blade is a fea-
ture of the tool which makes it diff
ferent from any hitherto introduced.
