SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6. - Ac cording to Al Dobson, the prominent turf official, plans are almost com. plete whereby a thoroughbred circuit Will be in operation in the west next spring.
 A Dill for pari-mutuel form of wag- erlng, with limited meetings will be introduced in Washington, and if if goes through there will be an an nouncement of dates, with Seattle and Spokane as the nucleus and possibly Idaho and California.
 Another proposal that has been made for the best interests of the breeding industry is for the light har- ness and thoroughbred horsemen to get together and work in harmony. For years past they have been rivals
 The old programmes of mixed trot- ting and running races were tried at the state fair and other meets last season and were said to have worked out successfully.
 With view to organizing one of Inc biggest and best sulky circuits California has had in years, track owners and managers of race meet ings are being urged to get together next month and map out plans for the 1917 season. Attention has been called to the benefits to be derived from early action.
 During the season just closed there were nine associations in the Golden Gate that promoted successful meet ings Assurance is given that the same associations will be back on the circuit next season. with the addi- tion of several others. The call has been issued for those associations to send representatives to a meeting, where it would require only a few hours work to arrange a program and dates
 Horsemen would know what was in sight for the season, and would Dur. chase horses and develop their young standard breds with that in mind. It is also expected that horses would be attracted from the Northwest and neighboring states, all of which would draw more entries and make for bet. ter racing attractions.
 It is said the trouble in the past has been that the promoters have put off making their announcements un- til the last minute and there has been no organization among them. This has had the effect of keeping the horsemen uncertain as to what to pre- pare for. In some cases California owners and trainers are said to have made entries iii other circuits that had already announced their plans.
 The thoroughbred promoters req lize the value in forming their circuit early.

s Followers of football express the | opinion that the decisive beating that Stanford University received at the hands of Santa Clara University in their annual game will postpone, for another season at least, any further agitation regarding a change from the English Rugby to the American inter- collegiate style of game. That the Palo Altaons will want to retrieve that defeat before abandoning the game is the general belief.
 The contest has aroused no end of talk and discussion. Those who are most anxious for the return of the Car dinals to the American game declare that the heavy score against Stanford was due in large measure to lack of unity and spirit at the university, where there Is decided division of opinion as to which game should be adopted
 That Santa Clara, minor institu. tion, which in the past has been de feated regularly by Stanford by heavy scores, should suddenly reverse the process is taken as an indication that all is not as 1t should be with pr. VII. bur's young men, a large proportion of whom are having forced upon them a sport in which their interest has waned since all the other coast teams, with the exception of Santa Clara, have returned to the American game.

The Public and the New Car Rules

1t is explained on behalf of the pub
lie utilities commission that immediate
and marked improvement of the street
ear service during rush hours must
not be expected from the new service
standard recently adopted. which is to
go into effect November l. Time will
be required to determine whether the
companies are able to maintain this
standard with their present equipment
and trackage. There will probably be
cases of overcrowding, technically in
violation of the seven -square-feet rule
for standing passengers, which must be
considered by the commission on the
basis of averages rather than singly. The
allowance of seven square feet is to be
average during a period of one hour,
so that there may be lack of room in
several cars and more than enough room
in others on the same line without &C
tually infringing the rule.
In all likelihood there will always be
heavy crowding on street cars during the
hours Of greatest travel, morning and
evening. 1t is impossible, especially in
city like Washington, where almost
all of the workers 60 to and from their
tasks within short periods, to run the
cars on seat-for each passenger basis.
Close Roadway, that is to say many
cars, must always mean congestion at
| functions and crossings, with conse-
quent slowing of the traffic. One solu-
ton lies in a division of the traffic on
additional trunk lines. And yet with
each new trunk line come more crossing
| points, with their delay producing pos
| sibilities. Thus it is not an easy ques-
| ton to solve and public patience is al
ways required.

The Gasoline Supply.

Director Manning of the bureau of
mines has stated to the local committee
investigating the gasoline problem that
there is in sight petroleum resources in
this country sufficient to Hast only thirty
years. This means that in three decades
at the most gasoline, as now obtained
from natural products, will cease to be
available. In view of the tremendous
use of this petroleum product, in motor
ing, in power making-in fact, in every
line of industry-this prospect is as
suredly disquieting. even though it may
not affect, save in gradual price in
creases, the present generation. 1t is,
however, possible that there are as yet
undiscovered sources of petroleum sup
ply in the United States or sufficiently
near to assure a continuance beyond
thirty years. OF course, there is posi-
tive limit to the amount of crude Oil
available for extraction from the earth.
As far as known, nature is not remaking
petroleum at anything like as rapid
a rate as it is being drawn off for use.
But it is known that there are oil pos
sibilities in many quarters, both in this
country and in neighboring lands, and
upon these reliance must be placed for
continuation of the supply unless some
substitute is found meanwhile which will
yield as much power and will be as
cheap. The discovery of more oil de-
posts or this substitute continues one
of the most important tasks of science
and industry during the next few years.
It is inconceivable that the fuel of com
bustion propulsion should utterly fail.
Without gasoline or something as eff
Gent motoring and small engine driving
is impossible. The most obvious sub
stitute for gasoline is alcohol in some
form, produced from plant product of
the soil such as grain or potatoes Lit
tie has been done with alcohol owing
to the cheapness of gasoline, which I'M
til few months ago was such as to
discourage all efforts at replacing it.
But now the prospect of a gasoline fail
ure is virtually certain to promote alcohol
researches that ultimately will yield that
which the world today needs reliable,
safe and efficient fluid fuel for eombus-
ton propulsion, derived from plant
source.

Mexico.

That the joint commission dealing with
the Mexican question is moving very
eisurely. even slowly as some complain,
is no cause for worry. Rather should we
all rejoice. There is good deal to be
done, and it is of a character which
advises against haste. Indeed, the scope
OF the task has grown since the com
mission first assembled. What to the
safeguarding the border against forays
by Mexican bandits into American terri
tory has now broadened into a problem
relating to Mexican finances and Ameri-
can willingness to help put Mexico on
Easy street again. And joined to this
later and larger problem is the question
of Carranza's real strength in Mexico as
dominating governmental factor. What
is his full power today. and how long
may he be expected to hold and exer-
else it!
What better step could he taken than
a suspension practically of the negotia-
tons until after November n Regret

that the shadow of politics covers all

republicans charge political purpose,

Dir. Carranza wants Mr. Wilson, re-

chief to become the next president of

commission are Carranza men, and the
American members are Wilson men. 1t
is 4 rather persuasive expectation, there
fore, that, as Mr.. Wilson's case comes
first TO the test, some decision of value
to him may be reached and announced

an abnormal condition in the ade-
notds and tonsils of patients, and
upon removing them the sufferers had
shown prompt improvement. Beiiev-
ing that there was possibly some rela-
ton between these glands and the dis
ease, he had extracted from those re-
moved from patients serum which he
had injected into small animals, which
subsequently developed symptoms OF
poliomyelitis. His researches, he stated,
had not yet gone so far as to warrant
any conclusion, but the possibility was
obvious that connection existed be-
tween the throat glands and the dis
ease Just how these glands play a
part in the cause and communication of
the disease is, of course, still mystery,
if it be assumed that they have any
part at all. In view Of the extreme
gravity of the danger which the past
summers outbreak presents, every pos
sible indication of cause and sug-
gestion of cure is to be welcomed. With
so many thousands of cases in the
United States within a short time there
is abundant basis for investigation, and
it would seem incredible that the secret
should long evade the scientists who in
the past have traced other diseases to
their sources and found their means of
cure
