THE CREDIBILITY
 OF NEWSPAPERS

A man who lives in one of the prin- cipal centcrs of the recent infant paralysis epidemic, was talking the other day about the newspaper re- ports of that disease. He claimed they were greatly exaggerated, and that even in places like New York, where it ragged the fercest, there wasn't any special epidemic. He thought the thing was largely news paper imagination.
 There used to be a type of people who would believe anything whatever that they saw printed in newspaper. One laughs at, such simplicity now. To-day people setm to have gone to the other extreme. There is felt to be a certain appearance of smartness in depreciating newspapers, and dis playing one's superior intelligence and sources of information
 In case like the epidemic referred to, such a claim appears very ridicu- lous News of such diseases is always taken from Board of Health reports The yellowest. newspaper in the United States would not. dare falsify them.
 There are certain journals, which in some mysterious way get large and widespread circulation, that dc fake a good deal, ofanews. Or rather they accept. rumor. as fact without careful investigation. Their con stituency is so large that they think they can offend and ., defy small groups of readefs without, injuring their total circulation e:.. ..... But the home newspaper. publish ed in a smaller city or town: depend ' different fife @ proposition m e @ < The editor 1 knows th4t if he, prints .> an untrue story, thete is the deuce to- pay next day. The least he: can do is to print a full retraction. This is humiliating The result is that newspaper work outside some of the. big metropolitan offices, represents the most sincere and earnest effort to learn and print the truth.

KEEP BEE HIVES WARM IN WINTER
 BY INSULATION
Federal Department Shows Bottom of Hives As I'm
 portant as Sides.

Washington, D. C.. Nov. 7-Failure to insulate the bottof In of the hive largely offsets the value of insulation around the hive in the outdoor winter ing of bees, according to the annual report of the Chief of the Bureau of Entomology of the U. s. Department of Agriculture. Experiments conduct ed with a number of insulate hives showed that much heat was lost from the unprotected hive bottom. Insulat- ing these bottoms was found to in- crease their, value greatly. Manu- lecturers, therefore, have been advis- ed to build insulated. hives with in- sulatedf bottoms. According to the report, the choice of insulating ma terial is of minor importance, as the materials commonly used -shavings, sawdust, leaves and chaff-do not diff fer greatly in insulating value.
 On the subjects of insulation, the entomologist says, in part:
 "Beekeepers have repeatedly claim ed that excessive insulation is even sufficient insulation, because of the failure of the colony to warm up on bright days. To test this theory, a colony was packed in the fall of 1915 with 16 inches of sawdust on all sides, top and bottom. Temperature records were made at frequent intervals every day throughout the winter and spring. The colony remained in excellent con- dition in every respect throughout the winter, being little affected by high winds, and after hood rearing began it built up with great rapidity. Then, to~continue observations on the effect of insulation on the building up of the colony, the packing was allowed to remain all summer. Except for the impossibility of manipulating the colony, it remained in excellent con- dition. It seems clear, therefore, that beekeepers need not fear any detri- mental results from abundant insula- ton at any season of the year,

product under the name of gasoline" that does not come within the specifi- cations, with a suitable inspection ser vice, would be, an important contribut- ing factor in safeguarding the consum- er's interests. Other products, which might be just as good motor fuels for motor and ,carburetor equipments adapted to them, could not then be sold in interstate commerce under the name of gasoline" but would have to be called motor fuels or by some other name which would distinguish them from the standard gasoline. '" To protect the interests of the consum- CT in intrastate commerce it would be necessary for states and municipalities to adopt similar legislation, and to increase their inspection service to provide for this new work, just as they have provided for weights and mea- sures and pure food regulations in the past.
 The Bureau of Mines has done 3 great deal of work on gasolines deriv- ed from different oil fields and by different methods of manufacture. Any experimental work incident to the use of gasoline as fuel belongs pri- marily to that Bureau. The Bureau of Standards, on the other hand, is pri- marily interested in questions relating to it's standardization. That bureau is accordingly entering into co-opera- tion with the Bureau of Mines, with a view to arriving at a satisfactory an- swer to the question as to what recom- mendations are possible at this time and what should be done. Before any final decisions are reached, all interest ed parties will be given a hearing.

Councils Dignity Hurt
 By Grievance Publicity Quite Put Out Because Press Was So Cruel in Publish ing MT. Cohen's Charges Regarding Pur-
 chase of Automobile.

Taking the attitude that discourtesy had been shown to the council by first publishing in the evening papers his charge of discrimination in the pur- chase of automobiles and auto sup plies by city departme that body at its July meeting last night refused to give the charges more than scant consideration and after a brief de- - bate the original motion to receive and place on file prevailed.
 When the matter was brought up after City Clerk thompson read the charges Alderman McCabe asked about the $25 MT. Cohen received on the Oakland car deal. Engineer Hall said MT. Cohen was then the agent for the Oakland and received the $25 as his commission although the sale was made through MT. Hine. Alder man Paonessa said it appeared that certain departments give work to their friends and such a condition should not exist. It appeared that Mr. Hall first favored the purchase of the Chevrolet and MT. Humphrey the Oakland and the sale went to the Hartford agent. He wanted to know why the automobile was not bought direct when the local agent sold it.
 Councilman Curtis at first was Op- posed to shelving the matter until he was informed that MT. Cohen had glv- en the matter out for publication be- fore first bringing it to notice of the council. MT. Cohen, he haid, charges that one dealer gets the supply busl- ness and he thought he should be given 8 chance to make good his charges. Furthermore last fall after the trouble over the cars last year the board of public works practically promised the council that a central garage would be constructed and all the cars housed in the same build ing. Nothing has been done about the matter although other machines have since been bought. The thing should be systematized, said MT Curtis, who then moved to amend that the mayor name a committee Of three to investigate the matter

to the defense of his commissioners It appeared to him that Cohen was a disgruntled dealer Money was saved the city, said the mayor, by the repair work done at the Elm street house by the firemen probably between $500 and $400. The mayor concluded by stating that if MT. Cohen has any def mite charges to make he should make them and not publish the matter in the newspapers first.
 Councilman Landers also defended the commissioners against the auto mobile dealers charges. He thought some line should be drawn by the council between charges of the char acter presented to that body by MT. Cohen and investigation of depart mental matters by the council. The council, he declared, should not be clearing house for dealers quarrels. Councilman Curtis then withdrew his amendment and the original motion to file was put and passed.
 Andrews Street Grade.
 Two petitions by Andrews street res idents for abatement of assessments on changes of grade on Andrews street were called to the attention of the council by Councilman May. While he did not want to criticize the board of compensation and assessment, it ap- peared that the assessment was made before the work was done and present conditions show an injustice has been done these two residents especially. He recommended that the mayor and board of aldermen investigate the matter and compare the figures with results Councilman Curtis inquired if the legal time for appeal had passed and was so informed. It was a ques- ton for abatement. Councilman Lan- ders thought it would be a dangerous precedent to change the work of the board of compensation and assess ment and suggested that the corpora ton counsel be consulted.
 About Crushed Stone.
